Limbaugh: Obama a 'radical' president

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama is a "radical" chief executive who is "attacking" American freedoms and liberties, talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Sunday.

The conservative commentator Limbaugh, appearing on "Fox News Sunday," launched a blistering attack on Obama both personally and politically, saying, "I'm really, really worried. We've never seen this kind of radical leadership at such a high level of power in the country."

Limbaugh assailed Obama's approach to the economy, asserting his policies, such as the economic stimulus bill, represented "a denial of liberty, an attack on freedom," and that rather than working to revive an economy that had plunged into a deep recession during the Bush administration, the Obama White House has instead "destroyed jobs. They've lost 3.3 million jobs in this country since Obama's stimulus plan, and it's going to get worse."

Limbaugh's wide-ranging attack also included swipes on Obama's stance on Afghanistan, saying, "We can't make up our minds what we're going to do in Afghanistan. We're dithering there."
