You heard that right: “Thank God for President Obama,” Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Monday afternoon.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we need to open the program today by congratulating President Obama,” Limbaugh said Monday afternoon at the start of his show. “President Obama has done something extremely effective, and when he does, this needs to be pointed out.”

While military experts wanted to bomb the Pakistani mansion where bin Laden was hiding, Limbaugh said, Obama may have “single-handedly [come] up with the technique” of attacking the target at the ground level, heaping more and more praise on Obama as he went for continuing the Bush-era policies of targeting the terrorist leader and causing destruction.

Ramping up his mockery, Limbaugh said, “President Obama, perhaps the only qualified member in the room to deal with this, insisted on the Special Forces,” Limbaugh said in a flat tone. “No one else thought of that…. Not a single intelligence adviser, not a single national security adviser, not a single military adviser came up with the idea of using SEAL Team 6 or any Special Forces.”

Limbaugh spent the next five minutes laying on more and more about Obama’s being “single-handedly” responsible for the military and intelligence strategy that was executed over the weekend.

Critics quickly attacked Limbaugh for his sarcasm, which Limbaugh soon admitted.

“I, me, my – three of the most used words in President Obama’s media appearance last night. Not a single intelligence advisor, not a single national advisor, military advisor came up with the idea,” he said.
Limbaugh read from a media report about his remarks from the beginning of his show, in which he effusively praised Obama, and barely held back laughter.
