Rush Limbaugh Questioning Obama's Romantic Past, American Heritage
Rush Limbaugh refuses to give up on his conspiracy theory that the United States President Barack Obama is not a “homegrown” president.
This time Limbaugh is going a bit more intrusively into Obama’s past asking where his former girlfriends, classmates, and students are.
A video of Limbaugh talking on his radio program was posted onto a fansite entitled Daily Rushbo.

In the video Limbaugh lauds himself as “probably the most informed man in America” and discussed a new email going around entitled, “Where are Obama’s girlfriends?”
He said he found the email interesting because unlike other political figures, people from Obama’s past “haven’t surfaced” and “media hasn’t dug ‘um up” yet.
Limbaugh goes on to argue that Republican runners such as Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann are already having the media delve into their personal lives much more than our current president has witnessed in his almost three years in the oval office.
He went on to argue, “I’m just saying it’s very strange that we know so little about a guy who’s written two autobiographies.”
However, some people are not taking Limbaugh and his continuous inquires into the President’s past seriously and they are using the internet as forum to criticize the notoriously opinionated Republican.
Chelsea Hoffman argued on Gather.com, “Limbaugh is too interested in Obama’s romantic history.”
She called Limbaugh’s discussion, “The tired old anti-progressive and anti-American rhetoric that draws people away from what’s important.”
Beyond questioning Obama’s romantic past, Limbaugh has also been making headlines this week for other comments on Obama’s economic performance.
Earlier in the week Limbaugh used his radio show to argue that Obama did not inherit the economic crisis but actively helped to perpetuate it, arguing that Obama inherited an unemployment rate of 5.7 percent.
However, critics responded to Limbaugh’s remarks calling Limbaugh a “liar” and arguing that he underestimated the numbers. Critics said that according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the unemployment rate of January 2009, when Obama took office, was actually 7.8 percent.
Regardless of either perspective, one thing is for certain, the upcoming presidential election year is set for intensely heated debates and a lot more questioning on all sides of the spectrum.
