President Obama declined to comment on Rush Limbaugh’s apology to Sandra Fluke and the sponsors who have dropped the Rush Limbaugh show. “All decent folks can agree that the remarks that were made don’t have any place in the public discourse,” Obama said.

Obama said he called the Georgetown law student whom Limbaugh called a “slut” because he thought of his own daughters and wants them to stand up for issues they believe in.
