RUSH: The Democrats are beside themselves that the guy Obama hired to vet his vice presidential possibilities, some guy named Johnson, has got all kinds of scandal problems, and he\u2019s a lobbyist and all these things that Obama has just washed his hands of. Yeah, that\u2019s right, he gets a sweetheart loan from Countrywide, and we all hate Countrywide, the home mortgage bunch that made sure everybody is now living in a tent. We hate \u2019em. So Obama has gone out and gotten this guy to vet his vice presidential people. There\u2019s nothing new about this. The guy has been around Washington for decades. I got a note from a good friend of mine, said, ‘How in the world does a guy like Obama go get this guy, make this kind of mistake?\u2019 And given how contradictory this guy\u2019s record is with what Obama states that they\u2019re not going to be any lobbyists, any PAC money and all that in his campaign, I said, ‘I don\u2019t want you to take this wrong way, but I don\u2019t think there\u2019s some magical Oz behind the curtain running Obama, but I don\u2019t think running for president was totally his idea. There\u2019s somebody behind this.\u2019 He\u2019s been in Washington three years. He doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing. He doesn\u2019t know who to go out and hire to vet for vice president. This is a Democrat Party hack. Somebody turned him on to this. He doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing. He hasn\u2019t got enough experience. <\/p>\n

All he can do is speak in platitudes written for him by David Axelrod, but coming down to these nuts-and-bolts decisions, he goes back to the traditional Democrat Party hierarchy? Somebody\u2019s behind this. I don\u2019t mean that in a sinister way, because everybody has sponsors. Reagan had his kitchen cabinet, but there\u2019s somebody that went to Obama somewhere, said, ‘Son, you\u2019d be a great front man for my idea to take over the country. You can speak well. You got a skin color that people can\u2019t afford to assail. We gotta get rid of Hillary and Bill Clinton once and for all, and if we put the right words in your mouth, you can do it, especially after we test-marketed you with your speech at the 2004 Democrat convention.\u2019 So anyway, I think that Obama here is just, there\u2019s something we don\u2019t know. It\u2019s not a conspiracy. It\u2019s politics as usual. Don\u2019t misunderstand. Now, after he said this, that John McCain\u2019s running to serve out a third Bush term, McCain was on the Nightly News last night, and he\u2019s had enough, he doesn\u2019t like Obama saying that he\u2019s just going to be Bush 2. Let me go back to May 21st on this program, three weeks ago, and we will listen to me talking about the Obama presidency.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: It\u2019s going to be Jimmy Carter\u2019s second term. They don\u2019t care about ruining the country. We\u2019re running against people who want doom and gloom to happen.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Last night on the MSNBC Nightly News with Brian Williams — oh, did you hear about his commencement address at Ohio State University? Did you hear about Brian Williams\u2019 commencement address at Ohio State University? He told the graduates this country is broken, and he listed all the reasons, and we need you to fix it. Brian Williams, who I like — well, yeah, he didn\u2019t say government should fix it, but wait \u2019til you hear the whole thing. It\u2019s frustrating. It\u2019s worse than frustrating. Anyway, McCain, after I on May 21st said, this is Jimmy Carter\u2019s second term, this is what McCain said last night to Williams. Williams said, ‘Is it going to be tough to run with an incumbent party for the White House given this economic backdrop?\u2019<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: Senator Obama says that I\u2019m running for Bush\u2019s third term. It seems to me he\u2019s running for Jimmy Carter\u2019s second.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (doing McCain impression) ‘Jimmy Carter\u2019s second, he-he, he-he.\u2019 I\u2019m sorry. I can\u2019t help it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
