Here's our Twitter topic of the day:
Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh isn't a big fan of Barack Obama. In fact, Limbaugh said on his programme that he hopes Obama fails as president.
When Obama lobbied for the passage of his stimulus plan in the House of Representatives, he told Republicans: 'You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.'
The verbal sparring between the two has raised Limbaugh's profile among Republican circles. And later this month, Limbaugh will be the featured speaker at a large conservative action committee, elevating his status even more.
So, what do you think? Is Rush Limbaugh the new leader of the Republican party? Should President Obama respond to Limbaugh?
We've had these responses thus far. Matt Rebeiro in London writes:
Limbaugh shouldn't be new Republican leader: less popular than Jeremiah Wright! http://tinyurl.com/cnyut5
From Orange County California, Tim Nebergall writes:
Rush Limbaugh is a bastion of the same tired Republican politics: Fomenting division and exclusion. Obama should ignore him
Christina Munoz in San Diego says:
Name checking Limbaugh gives that gasbag more cred. He doesn't care about our country, only about the GOP. He is despicable
