President Barack Obama on Friday phoned the Georgetown University law student who was called a “slut” by Rush Limbaugh to find out if she is OK.
“He encouraged me and supported me and thanked me for speaking out about the concerns of American women,” Sandra Fluke,
a third-year law student said. “And what was really personal for me was
that he said to tell my parents that they should be proud. And that
meant a lot because Rush Limbaugh questioned whether or not my family
would be proud of me. So I just appreciated that very much.”
Fluke, who said she had received Obama’s call while
waiting in the green room before her interview with MSNBC’s Andrea
Mitchell, also said of the phone call, “He did express his concern for
me and wanted to make sure that I was ok, which, I am. I’m ok.”
