Obama blames Limbaugh for 'caricature' status
'There's that gap between perceptions of me and the reality'

President Obama is complaining that Americans believe not the reality, but the “caricature” of him that is presented by individuals such as Rush Limbaugh.
“It looks like I continue to live rent free in the head of the president, Barack Obama,” responded Limbaugh on his radio program Wednesday.
He was reacting to revelations from the much-discussed 18-page interview with Obama that appeared in the prestigious New Yorker magazine. In bonus excerpts released Thursday, Obama blamed Washington’s legislative gridlock on his failure to convince Americans that he is “not the caricature that you see on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh.”
Obama accused Limbaugh and Fox News of trying to demonize him.
“The issue has been the inability of my message to penetrate the Republican base so that they feel persuaded that I’m not the caricature that you see on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, but I’m somebody who is interested in solving problems and is pretty practical, and that, actually, a lot of the things that we’ve put in place worked better than people might think.”
“So it’s me again, and Fox News,” Limbaugh said to his audience. “We are the reason Obama can’t advance his agenda, because Boehner is afraid to move too close to Obama because I have made you – along with Fox News has made you – think Obama is something that he isn’t.
