President Obama won’t be inviting talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh for a game of golf any time soon.
According to a new book, “Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One”, to be released later this month, author, Zev Chafets said that when Obama was asked whether he would play a round of golf with Limbaugh, the response, passed along by a top Democrat was: “Limbaugh can play with himself”, reports the New York Post.
New York Post: Chafets reports he encouraged Limbaugh to reach out to the president (to play a round of golf) just after last July’s “Beer Summit” that Obama hosted between Professor Henry Louis Gates and Sgt. Joseph Crowley, the Cambridge cop who arrested Gates after he locked himself out of his own home.
After reaching out to a top Obama advisor, David Axelrod, from whom he got no response, Chafets writes that he then turned to a “very senior Democratic”, to approach the president.
A couple of days later, the response was: “Limbaugh can play with himself.”
Chafets wouldn’t name the aide or say whether the quote was directly from Obama, said the New York Post.
