For my part, I ignore pundits like Rush. It is perfectly right for any citizen to criticize. But I cannot countenance one not being objective; and that constantly.

I have to say, you give a rather generous interpretation of Limbaugh's words.  He claimed that Obama wanted to nationalize all American industries, which is patently false, but that is hardly the stopping point of Limbaugh's statement.  He wants Obama to fail, regardless of Obama's actual policies.  After all, most of what Limbaugh criticized in that statement began under Bush; the financial bailout, the auto industry bailout, and so on.  Attributing those plans to Obama, and accusing him of socialism on that basis is dishonest.  But I think Congress is being silly with its petition.  After all, Limbaugh has no credibility.  He has too short a memory, even on his own stands.
