He appeared on The View yesterday, Barbara Walters\u2019 show with Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Whoopi Goldberg.  And who\u2019s the other one?  Sherri somebody.  And he was asked whether he thought the upcoming election will be tight.  He said, &#8220;When your name is Barack Obama, it\u2019s always tight.&#8221;  And so Joy Behar pipes in, &#8220;Yeah, Barack Hussein Obama,&#8221; meaning that there\u2019s so much bigotry and there\u2019s so much bias. His name makes every election tight. It\u2019s always a toss-up, because there\u2019s so much hate for Barack Obama because of his name. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_62485\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaTheView.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Remember in 1996 Obama managed to get several opponents kicked off the ballot.  He ran unopposed.  In his 2000 race for Congress, Obama ran against Bobby Rush in a Democrat primary.  Rush received 61% of the vote.  Obama received 30% of the vote.  In 2004, Obama ran for the US Senate primary against Blair Hull.  For some odd reason, Mr. Hull\u2019s divorce records were unsealed.  Obama took 54% of the vote.  Obama in the general election squared off against a Republican Jack Ryan.  Somehow his divorce records unsealed, and Ryan dropped out, and they sent Alan Keyes in there.  Obama won 70% of the vote.  In 2008, Obama won the presidency by achieving 53% against McCain\u2019s 46. <\/p>\n<p>Where are these tight races? All of Obama\u2019s opponents end up having private information about them somehow mysteriously discovered and they end up resigning the race, and he ends up with no opponent.  Tight races?  So here\u2019s Obama trying to make everybody think there\u2019s so much bigotry and racism aligned against him because of his name, and then you\u2019ve got sponges like Joy Behar agreeing with it just on the premise of it.  So Obama both lied and smeared the voters of the country he leads when he says, &#8220;When your name\u2019s Barack Obama, it\u2019s always tight.&#8221;  He\u2019s ripping the people of this country with this comment.  It\u2019s offensive, and it is classless, but that\u2019s how Mr. Cool rolls.  Accuses Americans of bigotry, the very people who elected him in a practical landslide.  Beats McCain 53-46.  Yeah, yeah, when your name\u2019s Barack Obama, it\u2019s always tight.  It\u2019s never tight. <\/p>\n<p>Gotta take a break.  We\u2019ll be back.
