Here, this is the latest example in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, at Kirkwood Community College.  Listen to this.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  I remember my favorite vacation when I was 11 years old traveling the country with my grandmother and my mom and my sister. And once in a while we\u2019d rent a car, but a bunch of times we\u2019d just take Greyhound Buses.  And sometimes we\u2019d take the train and stay at Howard Johnson\u2019s.  And, you know, as long as there was a little puddle of a pool, I\u2019d be happy. (audience laughter) And you\u2019d go to the ice machine and the vending machine and buy a soda and get the ice, and you were really excited about it.  It wasn\u2019t anything fancy, but you understood that you could spend time with your family, they were cared for, you had a sense of security.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/HOJO.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Okay.  Folks, where did Obama grow up?  We think he grew up in Hawaii, right?  No, stick with me on this.  So we know that there weren\u2019t trains and buses and so forth and Howard Johnson\u2019s in Honolulu, didn\u2019t do that.  So this means that Obama and his mom and his sister had to somehow get to the mainland.  Now, what he\u2019s trying to do here is goose his lower middle class credentials, right?  Now, you gotta have money to get from Hawaii to the mainland, and then, in other examples, he\u2019s talked about they\u2019ve spent a month doing this.  Now, who, especially back then, took month-long vacations from Hawaii to the mainland, then got on buses and trains?  I\u2019ve yet to see a Howard Johnson\u2019s at a train depot. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>He said, &#8220;Sometimes we take the train and stay at Howard Johnson\u2019s.&#8221;  Howard Johnson\u2019s.  You all see Blazing Saddles?  Howard Johnson\u2019s, 56 flavors, Howard Johnson\u2019s.  Mad Men this season had an episode at Howard Johnson\u2019s.  Well, it doesn\u2019t have anything to do with this.  It all sounds wonderful, but don\u2019t you have to have some money to take a month-long vacation, leave Hawaii &#8212; we think that\u2019s where he grew up &#8212; then go to the mainland and travel around on trains and buses and so forth, and the big kick is the ice machine at Howard Johnson\u2019s?  I\u2019m sorry, folks.  I\u2019m not buying it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, he did write about it in his book.  Month-long vacation, Yellowstone, Disneyland, flew to Seattle, buses and trains, month-long vacation.  His mother was the vice president of a bank. His stepfather was an executive at an evil oil company. See, he\u2019s trying to pass himself off as having lower middle class qualifications, all that kind of stuff.  It\u2019s just more tomfoolery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t know if you all heard this. We got an audio sound bite.
