RUSH: President Obama himself is looking childish in that press conference on Friday (impression), “I told… I told Vladimir Putin to cut it out.”  But it\u2019s not just that.  You can\u2019t get talk radio off his mind.  He cannot get talk radio and Fox News out of his head. <\/p>\n

During that press conference last Friday, Obama blamed talk radio for the effectiveness of the Russian hack.  He blamed talk radio for making Russian propaganda effective.  And when Obama says “talk radio,” he means me.  He\u2019s got me on the brain.  I\u2019m living in his head rent free, as is Fox News.  And if you think otherwise, let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites.  This morning on Morning Edition on NPR (impression), the Co-Host Steve Inskeep was interviewing President Barack Obama.  During a discussion about politics in America, the host of NPR\u2019s Morning Edition, Mr. Steve Inskeep asked President Obama, “Is President-Elect Trump right, that political correctness in this country has gone too far?”<\/p>\n

OBAMA: The irony in this debate is oftentimes you\u2019ll hear somebody like a Rush Limbaugh or other conservative commentators or, y\u2019know, radio shock jocks or some, uhh, conservative politicians who are very quick to jump on any evidence of progressives being, quote\/unquote, “politically correct” but who are constantly aggrieved (snickers) and hypersensitive about the things they care about and are continually feeding this sense of victimization and that they are being subject to reverse discrimination.  It cuts both ways.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH:  All right, does anybody understand what he said?  I think it may require me to translate.  But, see, the left thinks that what you just heard is erudite brilliance.  “You just heard genius.  You heard a brilliant theoretician! You heard a brilliant academic.  You heard someone who is flawlessly able to express himself — mild-mannered, measured, cautious, proper restraint — but is able to nail exactly what he means.”  So the question was, “Is President-Elect Trump right that political correctness in this country\u2019s gone too far?”<\/p>\n

And some of the first things that comes to his mind is me. <\/p>\n

“The irony in this debate…” There isn\u2019t any.  What debate?  Political correctness?  There\u2019s no debate about it.  It is way out of whack!  Wait \u2019til you hear the latest example of it from University of Kentucky.  You won\u2019t believe this.  “You hear somebody like a Rush Limbaugh…” There\u2019s only one, sir. “… a Rush Limbaugh or other commentators, you know, shock jocks, conservative politicians, very quick to jump on any evidence of progressives being politically correct.  But they\u2019re constantly hypersensitive about the things they care about and are continually feeding the sense of victimization.”<\/p>\n

Victimization, us?  That is the last thing we are.  What this really means is, the question, “Is Trump right that political correctness in this country\u2019s gone too far?” <\/p>\n

What Obama\u2019s really talking about is that if it weren\u2019t for me and people who do what I do and people like me, if it weren\u2019t for me, they would have gotten away with this.  They would have gotten away with transforming the general thinking of a majority of the country, and political correctness would have become the politics of the day because political correctness is nothing more than censorship. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Political correctness is cowardice.  Political correctness is itself victimization.  Political correctness is childish, and it\u2019s censorship, and it happens to be one of the primary tools of the left to silence and stifle anything they disagree with and don\u2019t want to hear.  And if it weren\u2019t for me, they would have succeeded.  And so after mentioning me, he then has to talk about how I complain about this or that or the other thing just like other people do. <\/p>\n

I actually don\u2019t know what he means here when he talks about hypersensitive about the things they care about, continually feeding the sense of victimization.  All I do is tell people the truth.  All I do is deconstruct what people like Obama say and deconstruct what people like Obama are doing.  All I do is tell people who they are.  And it must be hitting home, and it must be bugging \u2019em, because usually Obama only mentions my name at fundraisers<\/a> because mentioning my name is one of the fastest ways to get deranged leftists to write checks. <\/p>\n

But he\u2019s bitter and he\u2019s angry and you would be too if you were him.  The grand plan was after eight years — and don\u2019t doubt me on this — the grand hope was that after eight years the American public would beg Obama to somehow find a way to stay, even if it took amending the Constitution.  Eight years ago the grand design was a liberal, leftist government in permanent residence forever, in perpetuity, that was so popular and so loved and so demanded, Obama himself was going to be so popular that people would be begging him to find a way to stay. <\/p>\n

Instead, he\u2019s leaving and people are happy and optimistic and filled with hope for the first time in eight years.  It\u2019s got to be very sobering for somebody as self-impressed with themselves as Obama is, for somebody with the ego he\u2019s got, for somebody who believes his press clippings when the Drive-Bys talk about how brilliant and erudite and genius he is, and nothing that he\u2019s done has worked.  Well, from his standpoint it has.  But it has put the country in a state of decline.  It has weakened America around the world, and when America is weakened, the world is more endangered and out of control. <\/p>\n

And that is exactly where we are.  This idea, this grand idea of United Nations-led globalism with climate change being the issue that united the nations of the world into a giant series of tax increases and a reduction in the standard of living and therefore making everybody more dependent on government, that was the grand dream.  That was the big hope.  And it\u2019s crumbled.  It has fallen apart in an embarrassing way, and the woman that was to carry the torch has been sent packing to the woods of Chappaqua.  And they can\u2019t deal with it. <\/p>\n

<\/a>They have been living in fantasy land for all eight years lying to themselves about how popular they are, lying about how beloved they are, lying about how much the American people appreciate them.  And the first chance the American people got to signal we want to go somewhere in a different direction, they took it.  And these people know that they have lost something like 1,300 electoral seats in eight years.  It is a walking disaster. <\/p>\n

I could understand Obama being put out, because this was not the dream.  I mentioned Obama also mentioning talk radio and so forth in his Friday press conference.  This was a question Martha Raddatz, who\u2019s almost still in tears over the election, and she said, “Do the tweets and do the statements by Donald Trump embolden Russia?”<\/p>\n

OBAMA:  If fake news that\u2019s being released by some foreign government is almost identical to reports that are being issued through partisan news venues, then it\u2019s not surprising that that form of propaganda will have a greater effect.  It doesn\u2019t seem that farfetched compared to some of the other stuff that folks are hearing from domestic propagandists.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  I wonder who that is.<\/p>\n

OBAMA:  When a foreign government introduces that same argument —<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Wait a minute. <\/p>\n

OBAMA:  — with facts that are made up —<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Right.<\/p>\n

OBAMA:  — voters who\u2019ve been listening to that stuff for years —<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Right.<\/p>\n

OBAMA:  — who\u2019ve been getting that stuff every day from talk radio or other venues, they\u2019re going to believe it.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Oh, there it is again!  There it is again!  Voters that have been listening to that stuff for years, been given that stuff every day from talk radio, they\u2019re gonna believe it, fake news, farfetched stuff, hearing about domestic propagandists.  He\u2019s got it in deep for us here, folks.  I\u2019m telling you they\u2019re telling themselves up there we\u2019re responsible.  I know it.  I know it to be true. <\/p>\n

He led off his administration telling Republican leaders in Congress to stop listening to me, that that\u2019s not how things get done in Washington.  He comes into office telling \u2019em that and he\u2019s leaving office lamenting that they still do listen to me, and he can\u2019t figure it out.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
