In light of recent Obama re-election campaign ads featuring actress Sarah Jessica Parker and ‘Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, Rush Limbaugh has likened President Obama to the “famous for being famous” Kim Kardashian.
The new promo ads for President Obama encourage people to donate to his campaign in order to win a chance at attending a dinner featuring the President and First Lady, as well as Parker and Wintour.
Limbaugh said, "This whole thing is a fraud. Anna Wintour doesn't want to meet these people. She's not interested in what they have to think, neither is Obama or Michelle or Sarah Jessica."
Limbaugh went on to describe ‘Vogue’ as "a magazine for elites. It's a fashion magazine. Very few people actually read it. It's one of these things 'the right people read it.'"
"It's an indication, once again, how out of touch they really are, how distanced they have become from the people who make this country work. It's an indication of what they think the strong drawing power of the presidency is. He's becoming Barack Kardashian. I tell you, that's what he's becoming.”
“He is becoming the male Kim Kardashian with this stuff, and it's been building. He is Celebrity of the United States; he is not the President. And he is actively, and his whole team's out there pushing this. So it's Barack Hussein Kardashian, is what he has become.”
Daughter of former Presidential nominee John McCain, Meghan McCain took to her blog with some similar sentiment. Blogged McCain, "With the recent abysmal jobs report that just came out, touting elitist celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Wintour seems particularly out of touch and disconnected.”
She added, "Why in the world would you OK something like this?"
McCain’s father, Senator John McCain, also likened Obama to a celebrity during their 2008 head-to-head presidential race.

Mac31 don't agree with your reasoning but I do agree with your conclusion, There is no winning in Syria for the western civilized nations. Syria should be left to their own, atrocities will occur. I wonder if Lebanon has enough room for the Christians refugees?

This article mentions the negative tweets of Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain who has never seen a war he didn't want America and its ground troops to enter. Megan should be more interested in her father's position this week pushing for the U.S. to send troops into Syria who Marine Gen. James Mattis, head of U.S. Central Command, has said has "substantial" chemical and biological weapons capability and thousands of shoulder-launched missiles." These are the issues we should care about, not some arrogant idiot such as Limbaugh who only stirs the political pot to line his wallet while playing water boy for the GOP. We are barely out of Iran, still heavily engaged in Afghanistan, and our troops are experiencing the highest rates of suicide ever seen and McCain’s plan is to enter another ground war. Megan instead of tweeting you should sit your father down and talk some sense into him, or you could volunteer for duty in Syria yourself.
