RUSH: Well, it\u2019s leftist gobbledygook there. But you heard the answer. No, no, no. “You know, my general theory is that, if I was clear in my own mind about who I was, comfortable in my own skin and had clarity about the way in which race continues to be this powerful factor in so many elements of our lives.” So his legacy, he\u2019s setting it up here. His legacy\u2019s all about race. And I want to go on record. He\u2019s the guy, folks — he is and the Democrat Party are the ones — who made his Regime all about race. His race defined his presidency. It would…<\/p>\n
It defined everything about it. What you could say about him and what you could not. What you could think and what you could not. It paralyzed so much of this country in terms of criticism and opposition — and he\u2019s president of the United States! He\u2019s not a dictator. What he wants just doesn\u2019t automatically happen. But nobody had the courage — very few had the courage — to stand up and oppose what he was doing because of the racial component. <\/p>\n
Racial strife in this country\u2019s maybe worse than… Well, no. Definitely it\u2019s worse than when he took office. But I play this sound bite just to let you know that I know what I\u2019m talking about, know who these people are, know how they think. And that chip on his shoulder is there. And his wife has it, too. They do. And I think they\u2019re providing lip service here when they say that there\u2019s been incredible progress, \u2019cause that\u2019s not what they focus on. <\/p>\n
They don\u2019t focus on the incredible progress. That\u2019s a throwaway line. The Democrat Party is a party of identity politics. The Democrat Party is a party that seeks its power by putting its members into groups of victims who have grievances against America, and the grievances are all rooted in the American founding. And it has led us to where we are, and there has now been a huge backlash against it, and Obama admits going out of office that race is his legacy. <\/p>\n
RUSH: I want to stick with President Obama here for just a second because HBO has a new nightly newscast show called VICE, and Obama was on this program, VICE Special Report. He was on this show Friday night. Now, Obama came into office with me on his mind. This is not ego speaking; it\u2019s fact. <\/p>\n Two weeks after Obama was immaculated, he held a meeting in the White House with congressional leaders from both parties. And John Boehner was there and Mitch McConnell from the Senate. There were about eight or nine Republicans here with an equal number, maybe a few more Democrats there. Obama was laying down the law, and he was explaining how things were gonna be, how they were gonna work together to get things done, cross the aisle and all that happy horse manure. And Obama looked at the Republicans and he said to them, “You\u2019ve got to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh. <\/p>\n “That\u2019s not how things get done in Washington.” John Boehner looked around and said, “What…? What\u2019s that about?” Boehner came down here a couple weeks later, I had a meeting with him, and he told me about it. “I don\u2019t know why he would say that.” I said, “Mr. Speaker, he was hoping that you or McConnell or somebody from your group there would walk to the microphones outside White House, outside the West Wing, and agree with him, that it was time to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh and that the Republicans were now working with Obama toward a new day. That\u2019s what he was hoping.” <\/p>\n He had had a meeting — he had had a dinner party — with the conservatives he wanted to be known as the conservative leaders in Washington: George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Larry Kudlow. There are three or four others. But he wanted them to stop listening to me. So he comes into office warning the Republicans to forget me because he was under the impression that they\u2019re afraid of me and they\u2019re afraid of me criticizing them, so they don\u2019t do what Obama thinks they should do. On this program on HBO Friday night, Shane Smith is the host. He said, “Mr. President, you\u2019re leaving office soon, two terms, a lot of partisan politics, a lot of fighting, known for that. Seems as if it will become even more paralyzed now that you\u2019re leaving. Where do you see politics going?”<\/p>\n OBAMA: We have some structural problems in our politics more broadly that are creating greater polarization. The fact that our media has gotten so splintered… You know, as recently as Bill Clinton\u2019s presidency, certainly with Ronald Reagan\u2019s presidency, the majority of people still consumed their news from the nightly networks, and you had common basis of facts. And today, anybody with access to a website has an opinion. … The Republicans are only concerned about what\u2019s on Fox News or what Rush Limbaugh\u2019s saying and the Democrats are looking at the New York Times or Huffington Post.<\/p>\n (snorts)<\/p>\n Because everybody was working off the same set, the same narrative, the same propaganda. <\/p>\n Democrats have lost control of the media now.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, what is one of the things…?
