Obama on the wrong side of history

In his inaugural address, President Obama had this to say…

“To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history;”

I have to wonder… was he listening to himself? Or was it “Just words. Just speeches.”? How about this statement, from the New York Post (emphasis added).

President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

Of course, not everything that President Obama wants to get done is worth doing. But I guess if you say that, President Obama will try to silence your dissent.
