And it\u2019s Obama\u2019s June fundraising numbers.  They tell a deeper story of how badly Obama\u2019s doing.  And by that I mean in May, Obama had to come out for gay marriage, and he was rewarded by being on the cover of Newsweek, and in June we were told he had a whole lineup of fundraisers in LA from the gay crowd, and he had gay bundlers who had all been holding back until he did this.  And now we have those numbers.  And the gays did not contribute to Obama anywhere near what ordinary or capitalist Americans are donating to Romney.  And that\u2019s really a phenomenal story.  I think that might be why Rahm Emanuel stepped into the Chick-Fil-A imbroglio, because Rahm Emanuel is the architect of the Mark Foley scandal that gave the House to the Democrats in 2006.  And so for Rahm Emanuel to even step into that one shows that they\u2019re either trying to gin up the gays to give more, or&#8230; well, I think that\u2019s what they\u2019re doing. They\u2019re trying to get the gays to open up their wallets more because what they did in June didn\u2019t cut it and Obama\u2019s spending more than he\u2019s taking in and they\u2019re not gonna make it \u2019til November.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  So you think it hurt him more than it helped him?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hurt who? <\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Obama.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Oh, gosh.  You know, Rush, now, we don\u2019t know, okay &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Wait a minute. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Wait.  No, no, no, no.  Please.  Please.  I\u2019m contexting this.  I think you had a black man call you, conservative from California, fabulous call, and we also have to go back to the Mormons in California in 2008 with the black churches getting together to strike down Proposition 8.  There is already a relationship between Mormons and black Christian ministers getting together for the culture to do what\u2019s right.  And Obama has ignored this.  And team Obama, up in Chicago &#8212; hi, guys &#8212; you\u2019re blowing it.  I don\u2019t think you can do anything different at this point &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You called saying his fundraising is down.  And so if Rahm Emanuel is doing what he\u2019s doing, and the mayor of Boston, Menino, is doing what he\u2019s doing with Chick-Fil-A and gay marriage, it isn\u2019t working.  We had the report that Romney\u2019s super PAC is running rings around Obama. I\u2019ll tell you, I\u2019ve seen so many conflicting stories on the fundraising.  I\u2019ve seen it both ways.  I\u2019ve seen that Obama\u2019s way behind.  I\u2019ve seen he\u2019s spending more than he\u2019s taking in.  Then I\u2019ve had people say, &#8220;Rush, don\u2019t believe that garbage.  Obama\u2019s not gonna be outraised by Romney.  That\u2019s just stuff that they\u2019re putting out.  Obama\u2019s trying to make himself out to be Mr. Poor Man, Mr. Poor Old Guy, Mr. Average Middle Class Guy the rich don\u2019t want to support anymore, and so don\u2019t buy into this notion that Romney\u2019s outraising Obama.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=37804\"><img id=\"eZObject_65186\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/000MostDangerousMan.jpg\"\/><\/a>On the super PAC side, I think it is true that Romney\u2019s ahead of Obama.  And Obama, by the way, is raising money off of his birthday now, folks.  We have spies here who have signed up at all the various Obama websites, the Democratic National Committee websites.  This is a standard Democrat tactic, to poor-mouth: &#8220;Oh, woe is me, oh, poor me.&#8221; And Obama\u2019s got a fundraising letter saying that it\u2019s his birthday next week, and it may be the last birthday he ever spends in the White House, but that\u2019s up to you, \u2019cause you have to send him money. <\/p>\n<p>Now, one thing we know didn\u2019t work was Obama was asking people getting married to tell their guests, instead of giving the married couple gifts, send that money to Obama.  We know that bombed out.  People didn\u2019t take to that.  But I don\u2019t think you can draw a correlation here between what Rahm Emanuel and Thomas Menino are doing. I think that\u2019s just who they are.  I think that\u2019s just who they are.  I think their backs may be up against a wall a little bit, but neither of those guys is in trouble in their towns.  Emanuel owns Chicago. Menino owns Boston. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I don\u2019t know how you feel. Whether she knew it or not, our first caller was essentially saying that Obama was blowing it with his gay support.  &#8216;Cause he\u2019s out there trying to get all this money and he\u2019s lagging behind, she believes.  As far as Chick-Fil-A goes and Rahm Emanuel and the Boston mayor, folks, that\u2019s just who they are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Janet, Shiloh, Illinois, great to have you on the program.
