I'm assuming that by the time Obama's team responds to something of Rush's making that it has already received traction. I'd sooner blame the media at large than I would Obama's team, if it is the case.
Does Obama's team respond to every other media personality (both fringe and mainstream) as well, or are they giving Rush special treatment? If they are, why? Does his team "legitimize" Jon Stewart as well?
