RUSH: You know, Obama is not meeting with anybody. He went on The View<\/a>, and he described himself as “eye candy” on The View. You know what I think happened? I think that somebody scribbled that as a note on the teleprompter, and he thought he was supposed to say it. Why would you describe yourself as “eye candy” sitting there? Wouldn\u2019t the women be the eye candy, if you\u2019re really a guy who\u2019s trying to portray this notion that Republican hate women?<\/p>\n

Why is he going on The View anyway?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You know why he\u2019s going on The View? Because the gender gap is tightening. The War on Women is bombing out and that\u2019s why he goes on there. Wolf Blitzer last week said it made perfect sense that Obama would go on Letterman. I mean, if you\u2019re out trolling for votes, what makes more sense, going on Letterman or meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu? It was a great move by Obama, said Wolf Blitzer.<\/p>\n

Now Wolf\u2019s done a 180. Wolf and the Drive-Bys are a little worried that Obama\u2019s not meeting any world leaders but he\u2019s going on The View. Dana Milbank in the Washington Post called it “almost scandalous.” Obama\u2019s throwing a party and having a reception, but big whoop. He\u2019s gonna meet \u2019em, not official meetings. It\u2019s just, you know, a little glad handing or whatever goes on in these things.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s no official meetings, which are standard operating procedure. Hillary\u2019s doing all those. Unbeknownst to people, Hillary is the one meeting with Morsi and the guy from Iran and the guy from wherever. There are photos of it. Hillary\u2019s taking all these meetings while Obama\u2019s on The View and the Drive-Bys are wringing their hands, even Jacob Tapper doesn\u2019t understand this, and Wolf\u2019s done a 180. Wolf Blitzer says it\u2019s okay to go on Letterman rather than meet Netanyahu<\/a>, but now Wolf\u2019s a little concerned.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Why is he hanging around with the women on The View? It\u2019s all about voters that Obama\u2019s targeting. It\u2019s all totally about that, and so was this speech today. You know, you people on the left, you like to think of yourselves as the smartest among us, and you pride yourself that Obama\u2019s the smartest man ever. Do you realize how dumb the average Obama voter is? Do you realize how…? Not dumb. Uninformed.<\/p>\n

Do you realize that Obama is trying to put together a majority coalition made up of the least-informed people in this country, and, in some cases, maybe the dumbest? He\u2019s not targeting the brains of our society. He may figure he has academia all wrapped up, but, I mean, his big electoral push is for the mental midgets in this country, proudly so. Yet you people on the left, you sit out there feeling all high and mighty about how smart Obama is and how smart you are.<\/p>\n

When, in fact, your guy can\u2019t get elected without a majority of the Dumb Vote, the Moron Vote. And that\u2019s what he\u2019s trying to coalesce.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mentioned earlier that it is Hillary Clinton who is taking all these meetings with world leaders. It\u2019s not Obama. Obama\u2019s out on The View and with Letterman and so forth. That\u2019s who he\u2019s gunning for. That audience. He\u2019s really coalescing the Moron Vote. He\u2019s banking on the fact that of the universe of Americans who vote, that there\u2019s a winning majority of morons in there. He\u2019s got academia and he\u2019s got the media and he\u2019s got the Hollywood crowd.<\/p>\n

Then he\u2019s going after the actual Americans outside those institutions. He\u2019s not going for the middle class. He\u2019s going for the morons.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Edgar in Atlanta. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (whispering) Hey, Rush-o. Is it okay if I talk about something other than the NFL<\/a>?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, by all means.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Since last week when this issue about 47% <\/a>of us not paying income taxes and the 1998 video of Obama talking about building “a majority coalition” <\/a>of welfare recipients came up, it got me to thinking about the arc of America\u2019s history. You know, we started at that point where we had “taxation without representation.” And the founders found that so intolerable, they went to war against an empire over it. And now that arc is arriving at a place, not the opposite of “taxation without representation.”<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s the other side of the same coin. We have representation without taxation. And to me the two are equally tyrannical and oppressive. But instead of being outraged about it, Americans just look at now and shrug and say, “Yeah, that\u2019s fairness.” And I have to wonder: How did we get here, Rush? How did the character of America as a nation fall this far where self-reliance isn\u2019t considered a virtue anymore?<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Well, we don\u2019t know that it has yet. See, this is the question that we ask ourselves every day. Let me put it to you this way and ask you a question: Do you realize the level of either (or a combination of) ignorance or apathy that would have to exist for Obama to be reelected? It\u2019s profound. The people don\u2019t care about what\u2019s going on in the Middle East<\/a>, don\u2019t care ambassadors are getting shot, don\u2019t care our foreign policy\u2019s falling apart, don\u2019t care housing prices are plummeting, don\u2019t care about rising unemployment, don\u2019t care about assaults on achievers, don\u2019t care about all of this?<\/p>\n

If you go back to the 2010 elections <\/a>and look at the turnout, which was a landslide, I just find it hard to believe that in two years all this apathy has overcome is. I just don\u2019t believe it\u2019s there. I think everybody\u2019s in for a shock on Election Day, but then I have to guard against having my hopefulness become a substitute for reality. ‘Cause I\u2019m like you. There are days it\u2019s an emotional roller coaster. There are days I think that we\u2019ve lost the country. You look at these all-out assaults for raising taxes on the achievers.<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton is running around saying that the rich don\u2019t contribute anything <\/a>and there\u2019s no outraged reaction to it. And you think, “My God, how did we get here?” Well, we know how we got here. There\u2019s been an all-out assault on values, culture, morality, all of these things by the left for decades. They\u2019ve gotten control of the education system, and that\u2019s a large reason — or central explanation, answer — to your question. But your point is really good. I think the Founders would have been appalled that people with no skin in the game have so much say in the government. That\u2019s your point about representation without taxation.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So many people with no skin in the game are running the show. They\u2019re able to go out and determine policy that ends up with money being taken away from people who are truly producing it. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve said on a couple of occasions, “If it were just us, we could handle four years of Obama. We\u2019re resilient enough. But can we deal with four years or an eternity of the kind of people who would elect him?”<\/p>\n

CALLER: Am I still with you, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh. (chuckles) The point I wanted to make is the character of America. I have to believe the Founders wanted us, as citizens, to be self-reliant, and they codified it in the last four words of the Tenth Amendment. It says if the federal government doesn\u2019t do it either the states do it or the people do it. That says to me that there must be some things they expected us to do for ourselves. Not \u2019cause they wanted us to be selfish, \u2019cause they wanted the citizenry to be self-reliant. ‘Cause how could we be an independent nation comprised of dependent people? And they had to have known that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They did. You\u2019re absolutely right. Your analogy is 100% correct. But there are reasons why all this is happening. The quest for never-ending power on the part of leftists, statists. The way you do that is turn people into total dependent serfs. That\u2019s how you do it. And there\u2019s been an effort that\u2019s as old as I am (and older, actually) to bring this about. The question\u2019s gonna be answered in November: How much apathy over all this stuff is there really going on out there. In my lucid moments, I tell myself that the level of apathy and acquiescence to the wholesale destruction of the greatness that was this country just can\u2019t be that many people. It just can\u2019t be.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what my hope is.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad you called. Great points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
