Dan, welcome to the EIB Network and the Rush Limbaugh program.  Great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Thank you very much.  I appreciate you taking the call.  I have a question and I thought I\u2019d call the voice of reason.  I was confused by the president\u2019s statement regarding roads, bridges, and the suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  He spoke about people in the city unable to commute to the suburbs, you know, to go to work, to go to their jobs.  I thought it was kind of like the other way around, where &#8212; I mean around here, anyway, people commute from the suburbs &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67754\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaSuburbs_Pix.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I think it\u2019s that way in most of the country. People commute from the suburbs to the city to work.  Need roads and bridges to get there. Like in New York, if you live in New Jersey, Connecticut, you need lots of roads and bridges to get into the city.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Right.  So am I guilty of faulty logic?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No.  You\u2019re not guilty of faulty logic.  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14387\">You are guilty of not understanding what Obama really means<\/a>.  When he goes on this suburban tirade, he resents that people leave the city to live, that they don\u2019t stay there to live and work.  He\u2019s upset that these people have the ability to leave, the financial means, resources to live in the suburbs, so they don\u2019t have to put up with the hellhole of the city as a residence.  But these other poor people, they can\u2019t get out \u2019cause they don\u2019t have the money \u2019cause they\u2019re discriminated against.  And so the suburbanites get to leave the hellhole of the city, and Obama\u2019s people don\u2019t get to leave it, and then they come back, and that\u2019s what he\u2019s ticked off about.  So he doesn\u2019t want to build any more roads and bridges, \u2019cause he doesn\u2019t want any more people to be able to leave the cities.  He wants everybody riding mass transit, when you get right down to it, or driving an old Volt for no further than 40 miles.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Ah.  I just thought perhaps we\u2019ve been building one-way bridges.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  We have been, one-way for the rich.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah. <\/p>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/player.ooyala.com\/player.js?width=585&amp;deepLinkEmbedCode=I0ZXEyNjpnfCdoMXulS8XIOcpzf13thD&amp;height=360&amp;embedCode=I0ZXEyNjpnfCdoMXulS8XIOcpzf13thD&amp;video_pcode=k4Nmw6Cri746xA2OsoSlngyrIudg\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Big stop sign, turn around for the poor, at the entrance to every bridge.  That\u2019s what he means.  He resents that people have left the cities.  He resents, in his world view, we\u2019re not really talking about the rich.  The middle class leaves the city, and they leave the stench and whatever is behind.  It\u2019s not fair they should be able to do that.  They ought to have to stay there, like everybody else does.  And so we\u2019re gonna stop investing any more roads and bridges, suburbs.  Don\u2019t need that.  We need to put that money into the cities, invest in minority-owned businesses and so forth, so that the people who stay in the city, \u2019cause they have no choice, get a little fair treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Remember now, in Obama\u2019s world, if you\u2019re successful or if you\u2019ve achieved, it\u2019s not because of you.  It\u2019s because of a stacked deck.  It\u2019s because of an unfair set of advantages that you\u2019ve had, however he wants to define it: your family, your race, who you know. Your success is not legitimate, and the proof of that is that there are still poor people.  And you\u2019re only successful because you\u2019ve taken what the poor were entitled to.  You\u2019ve taken more than your share.  This is exactly who he is.  And when you\u2019ve taken more than your share and then you use that to flee the city, well, then you are held in contempt.  And you have to be gotten even with.  So we\u2019re gonna raise your taxes, and we\u2019re gonna stop building bridges and roads for you to get easily back and forth, and we\u2019re gonna take that money, that you\u2019re essentially stealing, and we\u2019re gonna keep it here in the city with these people.  And maybe not the city, but really talking about populations here, groups of people.  The disadvantaged, the victims of capitalism. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1595230920?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=theofficiw0c2-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1595230920\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67755\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaStanley-Kurtz_large.jpg\"\/><\/a>The suburbs stole the wealth of the inner city.  That\u2019s the point.  The inner city is the inner city because suburbs stole it. People fled, people left, they took the money with them, and it wasn\u2019t theirs.  They\u2019ve got more than their fair share.  Folks, I\u2019m not making this up.  I\u2019m simply telling you what he says.  I\u2019m not speaking philosophically here.  I appreciate the call.  That\u2019s a great call.  That gives me an opportunity to look even better than I otherwise do by &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p>What?  By explaining things people &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Well, I know.  I know.  The guy gets it.  It\u2019s the others that don\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know.  You mean after the video comes out?  That\u2019s a question I\u2019m asking myself.  If they didn\u2019t get it in 2008, they didn\u2019t care, why are they gonna care now?  How are they gonna make \u2019em understand it now?  Well, only time will tell on all this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Dan in Hamden, Connecticut.
