Bush spoke, just spoke, I don\u2019t care what he said, the media immediately cast him as a dunce, as an idiot.  You recall this.  Bush was an idiot. Reagan was an amiable dunce, he was an idiot.  Bill Clinton, brilliant.  Hillary Clinton, smartest woman in the world.  Obama, so smart, I mean, we have no prayer of keeping up. Remember the Valerie Jarrett quotes that we found from, I think it was last week.  &#8220;He\u2019s just bored by all of this.&#8221;  Valerie Jarrett says there hasn\u2019t been one time since she\u2019s known him that he\u2019s been intellectually challenged.  He\u2019s just so far ahead of us. He\u2019s just light years beyond us.  We wilt in the glow of the radiation of his brilliance. We can barely even look at it because we would blind ourselves, or some such thing. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_84518\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaEinsteinPIX.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And I, frankly, think it\u2019s a crock.  I think it\u2019s all manufactured PR, and it\u2019s based on something that we\u2019ve all known for a long time.  If you learn how to speak and have a decent vocabulary, you can fool all kinds of people into thinking that you are refined, elegant, educated, urbane, all of these upper crust, elite descriptions.  And they tell us this about a guy who says corpseman, secretary of states, attorney generals, 57 states, when he\u2019s campaigning.  And there\u2019s another one here, ladies and gentlemen.  Obama\u2019s out talking about his health care plan and how people want him to fail or want it to fail.  I am living rent free in his head. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>Anyway, Obama said, &#8220;That seems to be the only alternative that Obamacare\u2019s critics have, is, well, let\u2019s just go back to the status quo, because they sure haven\u2019t presented an alternative. If you ask many of the opponents of this law what exactly they\u2019d do differently, their answer seems to be, well, let\u2019s go back to the way things used to be.<\/line><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_84519\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaYouDontKnowJackPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/> <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, you keep your plan.  Now, my point, just like somebody really refined and educated, doesn\u2019t say &#8220;corpseman&#8221; unless he\u2019s trying to insult \u2019em, and it\u2019s secretaries of state, and attorneys general.  But you cannot go back to the status quo.  The status quo is what is.  And here\u2019s Obama (imitating Obama), &#8220;Well, that seems to be the only alternative that they have, we\u2019ll just go back to the status quo.&#8221;  You can\u2019t go back. The status quo\u2019s what\u2019s happening now.  Now, somebody whose intelligence would radiate with such intensity that we would be blinded looking at it, would not make these kinds of errors.  I think we\u2019ve been sold such a bill of goods on the guy from day one.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You know when George W.
