RUSH: Here\u2019s Richard in Oxnard, California. Great that you waited. Welcome to the program, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Afternoon, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m looking at Obama as the next black president. He would be a third term for Bill Clinton. He\u2019s very Clintonesque in his attempt to have both sides of every issue, to avoid criticism from the left or the right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Both sides? Obama\u2019s got at least five sides to some issues.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Many faceted, isn\u2019t he?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but you know the Official Obama Criticizer here on this program — Bo Snerdley, last week in the most recent installment of the Official Obama Criticizer — I think summed it up very well: ‘Obama is the first black Clinton.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: There you go.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right. In a way, I marvel at these two campaigns, the Clinton campaign and the Obama campaign. But remember, they both have something in common, and that is a slavish and devoted Drive-By Media, which for the most part (the New York Times lead editorial notwithstanding) make it possible for people like The Messiah or Bill Clinton to wander all over the playing field, changing positions left and right, and not calling them on it. That\u2019s one of the things that Obama knows that he\u2019s going to be able to get away with and it\u2019s why he continues to pull it off and do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
