President Barack Obama has offered his support to a US law student called a "slut" on Wednesday by rightwing talkshow host Rush Limbaugh because of her views on contraception. According to White House spokesman Jay Carney, the president called Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke on Friday and expressed his disappointment that she was the target of Limbaugh's personal attacks. Obama reportedly thanked Fluke for supporting his administration's policy of requiring health insurance coverage of contraceptives for women. The call came moments before Fluke was set to appear on the TV news network MSNBC. Speaking to host Andrea Mitchell about the president's call, Fluke said: "What was really personal for me was [that] he said to tell my parents that they should be proud." Limbaugh called Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" on Wednesday after she expressed her support for the administration's policy in an informal testimony on Capitol Hill. Then, on Thursday, on his nationally syndicated radio show, he added: "So, Miss Fluke, if we are going to … pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch." Limbaugh's outburst has already prompted some advertisers to pull their support for his controversial show. Following heavy pressure from the Democrats, House speaker John Boehner described Limbaugh's comments as "inappropriate". Boehner argued, however, that the Democrats were using the incident as an opportunity to raise money. On Friday, Boehner's spokesman, Michael Steel, echoed the concerns, saying: "The speaker obviously believes the use of those words was inappropriate, as is trying to raise money off the situation." At last month's hearing, Fluke pointed out that her fellow Georgetown students pay as much as $1,000 a year for contraceptives that are not covered by student health plans. On his show on Wednesday, Limbaugh equated the payment to prostitution. "What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute," he said. "She wants to be paid to have sex … She's having so much sex she can't afford contraception," Limbaugh added. Georgetown – itself a Jesuit school – has, along with a number of other Catholic institutions, denounced the Obama administration's contraception policy as an infringement on their religious rights. Rather than apologize, Limbaugh has stood by his inflammatory rhetoric. On his Thursday show, he referred to a controversial joke made by Rick Santorum's wealthy backer, Foster Friess, suggesting women should hold aspirin tablets between their knees in order to remain abstinent. "I will buy all of the women at Georgetown University as much aspirin to put between their knees as they want," Limbaugh said. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is gathering signatures for an online petition calling on Republican leaders to "denounce Rush Limbaugh's cruel tirade against women". Fluke responded to Limbaugh in a written statement, saying: "No woman deserves to be disrespected in this manner. This language is an attack on all women, and has been used throughout history to silence our voices."

Why can't the skank's boyfriends that are fucking her pay for her pills? She claims they cost her $3K/yr, her guys only have to kick in about $5 apiece to cover the cost. Why does the slut even need birth control pills anyway? I can't believe anybody out there is dumb enough to fuck her w/o a condom on, as much as she's been around she has to be eat up w/ STDs.
Hmmmm,did Barry ever condemn The Rev-Rund Wright for screaming "hate honkie" and "God Damn America" from the pulpit? Gee,I wonder why? I also wonder how much they are paying "The Rev-Rund" to keep his mouth shut? I suspect it is a considerable sum because the mansion he bought in the white neighborhood ("Honkie Homes" to da bruthas and sistas)didn't come cheap and his whole lifestyle comes from running his mouth.

Oh Shiit! Where is my box of tissues? You are such a sanctimonious sow you can't see yourself for the obvious hypocrite you are. You are not just an 'immoral' SLUT, you are a SLUT who publically advocates the American tax payers have an obligation to flip the bill for your shameless, SLUTTY, behavior, and the results thereafter. So you , the 'SLUT', received a call from your PIMP in the WH, consoling you, and commending your bravery..puke..spit...gag... What the immoral 'pimp in chief' neglected to confess during that conversation was, Bill Maher contributed $1 million to his election 2012 campaign, the same Bill Maher who, on many occasions, publically refered to Sarah Palin as a 'C', and we've yet to hear any rightious indignation from him over that! Get some new material, SLUT! jmho!

Yeah he did and then he dropped out of the church.
For 20 years Barry & the Wookie listened to Rev Wright spew his racist hatred & wrote books quoting him, what took him so long? And who killed Rev Wright's queer choir director Donald Young & why in late '07? His Mom thinks Barry did it because he & Donny were butt buddies.
Rev. Wright, in the context in which he was speaking, was spot on with the "God Damn America" statement.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'! Winning.

Finally,a leftist willing to stand up on his hind legs and defend the indefensible! No doubt the product of an inferior PC education and too ignorant to seek the truth,but if you had done that you wouldn't be posting such nonsense.

That's funny considering your tag line: "It is impossible to talk reason with those who can only parrot Party Slogans."

I blame affirmative action racial superiority ... white is evil - queer is good --- for all this craziness !

Yes he did.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Wright_controversy The Jeremiah Wright controversy is an American political issue that gained national attention in March 2008 when ABC News, after reviewing dozens of U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright's sermons,[1] excerpted parts which were subject to intense media scrutiny.[2][3] Wright is a retired senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago and former pastor of President Obama.[4] Obama denounced the statements in question, but after critics continued to press the issue of his relationship with Wright he gave a speech titled "A More Perfect Union", in which he sought to place Dr. Wright's comments in a historical and sociological context. In the speech, Obama again denounced Wright's remarks, but did not disown him as a person. The controversy began to fade, but was renewed in late April when Wright made a series of media appearances, including an interview on Bill Moyers Journal, a speech at the NAACP and a speech at the National Press Club.[5] After the last of these, Obama spoke more forcefully against his former pastor, saying that he was "outraged" and "saddened" by his behavior, and in May he resigned his membership in the church.[6]
The subject was hypocrisy. I didn't change it,I just pointed out the selective outrage and how it was dependent on the political views of the poster and the identity of the subject.

Of course you do. You are a leftist and a globalist,and hate America. You are also a hypocrite,or you would move to some 3rd world shithole and live like the natives live to prove you believe in equality.

"It is impossible to talk reason with those who can only parrot Party Slogans." It's not MY fault you can't comprehend simple concepts. Then again,if you were that smart you wouldn't be a leftist.

Ok,I'm going to dumb this down for you because I know you are simple. What the above means is he was making excuses and justifying what Wright said and did,not denouncing him.

Spoken like a parrot who can only repeat Party Slogans. You are also a hypocrite,or you would move to some 3rd world shithole and live like the natives live to prove you believe in equality. ThaT doesn't even make sense. I expect more from you.

What about this do you not understand? He made no excuses for Wright when he said "goddamn America" If you have a link showing where he made excuses for that statement I would like to see it.
The very link you posted.
