Limbaugh tries to paint Obama as a hateful, violent, angry man, is Obama responding by being overly polite?

Geezzzz.....you must have the "I sat in the church of jeremiah wright for 20 years, but never paid attention" syndrome.

Happened that he was on the radio on my drive home, and I would listen to hear what he was spouting about that day. He was just another voice to me, and not one that I swore by. Face it. He has always been an extremist whose purpose is to entertain. He chose an extremely right wing approach from the start because and has gotten more extreme as the years have gone on. Anyone who views his propaganda as a reliable news source is bats. I thought that then, and I think that now.

I really didn't want to change dentists but I would have. There are several restaurants I won't go to anymore.

Rush's painting Obama as "hateful, violent and angry" sound's more like a description of himself.

There are very few public figures in the US that are more influential in shaping political public opinion than Limbaugh, that goes for right, left, or middle.
