At least of these two choices. There are probably more choices than this. But, as I gaze and study, and I do that a lot, what\u2019s more important to the media: Trying to convince us that Bin Laden was still in charge of al-Qaeda, or trying to convince us that Obama was in charge of the raid that killed him? You think they\u2019re working harder on that? The latter? They\u2019re working overtime on trying to convince us that Obama was in charge of the raid that killed him even though we all know it was Panetta. It shows leadership. In fact, they\u2019re even calling him a cowboy now. This is Sunday morning on the syndicated Chris Matthews show. They were talking about Obama and the death of Osama, which happened because Obama shot Osama, and there\u2019s this little exchange that they had, it\u2019s David Ignatius of the Washington Post.<\/p>\n<p>IGNATIUS: I felt, watching the President Sunday night, that there\u2019s an American archetype of the strong, silent person, that person is reticent, but conveys&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS: The cowboy.<\/p>\n<p>IGNATIUS: &#8230; strength.<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS: The cowboy. Gary Cooper. Matt Dillon. <\/p>\n<p>IGNATIUS: I saw Obama as a little bit of that cowboy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) Oh please. Gary Cooper, Matt Dillon. Being a cowboy? Isn\u2019t that why we elected Obama, to get rid of cowboys? The idea that the American president\u2019s a cowboy, I mean that\u2019s not cool. That\u2019s not good. That\u2019s how we lost our values in the world. That\u2019s how we lost our respect around the world. We had the cowboy guy from Texas. Now, ladies and gentlemen, they can try to convince me a lot, but that Barack Obama is a cowboy? Ha. That almost might put me in a good mood. Of all the things that they are trying.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: What do you think is more important in the media right now?
