<\/p>\nRUSH: We\u2019re gonna start in Oswego, New York, with Curt. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. Good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh. How are you?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Very well. Appreciate that. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, I have to tell you a little story. I\u2019m a fire service Marine. I served under President Bush on Marine One as a helicopter crew chief. And I just happened to notice in some of the press —<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait. Hold it just a second. You, a helicopter crew chief on Marine One?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I didn\u2019t know you guys were allowed to talk about that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I\u2019m out of the service now, so I think the danger has passed given what\u2019s happened with the poor Marine on Facebook there.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing) All right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: So I\u2019m not sure what the statue of limitations is but there\u2019s no national secrets that are gonna come out today, I can assure you of that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay, cool.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I was proud to serve under President Bush, and one of the things that I noticed as we followed him around the country is that even as the president was purportedly on vacation, the man never stopped working. I could tell you from sunup to sundown he was in the field. He was clearing brush. He was doing the things that a typical person would do who\u2019s away from work and still had responsibilities at home. And what I don\u2019t see in President Obama is that kind of mentality. And, quite frankly, it\u2019s a little appalling, and I was really proud to hear as I was waiting to connect with you, how fervently you believe — and I\u2019m of the same opinion — that working Americans, we still hold pride in the fact that we know how to get our hands dirty. We know how to get things done and we can turn the country around, not because of President Obama, but in spite of him.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It will happen. I am entirely confident of it. It is why I have not uprooted. It\u2019s not a question of if; it\u2019s only a question of when to me. You know, I saw a story. I haven\u2019t checked the link. There\u2019s a link on Drudge that says that Obama\u2019s gonna take Memorial Day off. <\/p>\n
CALLER: I find that very disappointing to hear that sort of thing. You know, one of the things that struck me about President Bush is that he was always grateful. He was always personable if you had the opportunity to meet him, and he never seemed like the kind of person that would look down his nose or turn his chin up at one of the service members.<\/p>\n
RUSH: He didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And while I cannot say that I served under President Obama, I do not get that same impression.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you would know. I mean if you\u2019re the mechanic, Marine One, Bush oftentimes on Christmas Day, Thanksgiving, would stay in town so the Secret Service could spend time with their families, people like you could do that, then head off to wherever he was going. Obama, I\u2019ve heard a lot of people say he\u2019s nine to four. His work day is nine to four. Now, presidents are always — I mean the phone can always ring. But I still know what you mean. I saw on Drudge that link that Obama\u2019s gonna take Memorial Day off. My first reaction is, how will we know? How could we tell? Curt, thanks much. <\/p>\n
Steven, Shreveport, Louisiana. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, Rush. Thank you for allowing me to express my opinion today. I hope you have a good Memorial Day.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right. Cool.<\/p>\n
CALLER: In the real world, Rush, I am not allowed to band together with a thousand of my fellow private citizens and invest $2,000 to capitalize a startup company of $2 million. I don\u2019t have the freedom to do that. You have to be a certified investor and have a million dollars in assets right now. We don\u2019t have that freedom, Rush.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What is your point?<\/p>\n
CALLER: My point is you\u2019re talking about Obama is trying to take our freedom away to be entrepreneurs and start up companies. That freedom does not exist for only six million Americans right now. And we need to change that. And I don\u2019t see the Republicans moving to change any of that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I have to admit I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You know anybody run equity funds? You\u2019re not allowed to run an equity fund unless you\u2019re a certified —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, oh, oh, you\u2019re talking about the private equity. I thought you were talking about starting any business whatsoever.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, you still have a limit. Any private business can be capitalized by and how many investors. If you\u2019re not certified investor, you can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay, so you\u2019re basically saying the deck\u2019s stacked against you. If you want to be an entrepreneur these days, you can\u2019t do it?<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s been that way for 20 or 30 years.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: So you\u2019re saying if you have to go out and borrow money or get investors to start a business, that you can\u2019t do it?<\/p>\n
