Inevitability in the Democrat Party is a death knell. Hillary was inevitable, correct? And where is she? Her latest appearance has been in a JibJab video, and old Bill is out there warning of growing polarization in the country. How can we get more polarized? And these people are the ones that actually started it back in the nineties. Poor old Obama, now I guess the tag of inevitability has accrued to Obama, and he\u2019s screwing everything up now. Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, if I say so myself, I had a pretty decent observation. By the way, the oil price plunged today, and the stock market is way up. Bad news for the Democrats. (laughing) Not good for them. Anyway, yesterday when the economic news was just horrible, you had the fed chairman up there testifying before the Senate, you got the president trying to shore up the economy, you had people being kicked out of their houses \u2019cause they can\u2019t pay their mortgages. There\u2019s a great story in the LA Times or somewhere today, I\u2019ll find it. A big story on how home prices, the average home price in California has fallen 23 or 27%, but prices are still not low enough for renters to be able to buy. And the line in the story is, &#8216;and Congress has done nothing about it.\u2019 Well, what are they supposed to do? This dovetails precisely with what I was talking about yesterday. Congress is supposed to help you buy a house even now after Congress helping a lot of people buying a house led to the subprime mortgage problem that we\u2019re having? It\u2019s unreal out there. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Anyway, while all this was going on yesterday, there\u2019s Obama popping up somewhere doing a speech on Iraq and rephrasing and refining his position on this, and it was strictly a speech to the far left-wing fringe, which is upset because he said he\u2019s gonna consult the chief joints of staff and then the commanders on the ground and may not pull people out of there as quickly as possible. Now he\u2019s pulled from his website all the references to the fact the surge won\u2019t work. I pointed out all this economic news is going on, he\u2019s making a speech about Iraq and nobody cares about Iraq right now because we\u2019re winning. In fact, I actually think that the Drive-Bys are screwing Obama, unintentionally. The Drive-By are not reporting how well we\u2019re doing in Iraq, therefore he doesn\u2019t know how well we\u2019re doing, so he comes off as a know-nothing. I mean, the Drive-Bys are inadvertently damaging this guy. I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s gotten to the point yet of destroying him, but he\u2019s in deep doo-doo out there. Everybody knows who\u2019s paying attention that Iraq is doing well, the surge is working well, and Bush is talking about accelerating the troop withdrawal. There\u2019s Obama giving a speech about Iraq as though it\u2019s 18 months ago. Now, why? Obviously nobody on his staff reads the papers. Well, they do read the papers, and the papers and the Drive-Bys have nothing in the news about Iraq, so he\u2019s stuck in a time warp. The Washington Post editorializes today with a point that I made, that this is really tone deaf, what he did yesterday, and he made the same impression on the editorial writers at the Washington Post. <\/p>\n<p>Now, yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, as you recall when the New Yorker cover cartoon was blowing up all over the place, and the Obama campaign was talking about how upset they were about this and it was just uncalled for and all the yada yada yada, I pointed out that the only people that get mad over cartoons, stupid cartoons, are Muslims, radical Muslims. Here\u2019s Obama out there, fresh off a cover cartoon alluding to him satirically as a Muslim and his wife is a terrorist and he\u2019s getting upset about it. He\u2019s still upset about it; he\u2019s still talking about this; he\u2019s whining and moaning about it. And now he\u2019s changed his tack. His tack now is this upsets Muslims, American Muslims and it\u2019s just not fair, it\u2019s just not right. Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. Last night on Larry King Alive, King said to Obama, &#8216;That New Yorker cover depicts you and your wife, you dressed in a Muslim outfit, your wife in a kind of military outfit &#8211;&#8216; come on, Larry, she\u2019s dressed as a terrorist. She\u2019s got an AK-47, a bandoleer of bullets over there, looked like Angela Davis. What is this, military outfit, Larry? Say the word, &#8216;terrorist.\u2019 The New Yorker portrayed Michelle (My Belle) as a terrorist. Osama Bin Laden\u2019s picture hanging and the flag burning in the fireplace. &#8216;What did you make of that, Obama?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: I know it was the New Yorker\u2019s attempt at satire. I don\u2019t think they were entirely successful with it, but, you know what, it\u2019s a cartoon, Larry, and that\u2019s why we\u2019ve got the First Amendment, and I think the American people are probably spending a little more time worrying about what\u2019s happening with the banking system and the housing market and what\u2019s happening in Iraq and Afghanistan than a cartoon. I\u2019ve seen and heard worse. I do think that, you know, in attempting to satirize something, they probably fueled some misconceptions about me instead, but, you know, that &#8212; that was their editorial judgment, and, as I said, ultimately it\u2019s a cartoon, it\u2019s not where the American people are spending a lot of their time thinking about.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"325\" height=\"473\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: What do you think they\u2019re thinking about? They\u2019re thinking about Iraq? Everybody\u2019s talking about this, Obama, in the places that you need to be interested in. Everybody\u2019s fascinated by it because in the Drive-Bys your pals are worried that the satire didn\u2019t come off as satire \u2019cause they didn\u2019t put me anywhere on the cover. And so it\u2019s upsetting to him, it bothers him a great deal, so he says it\u2019s just a cartoon and all that, but he doesn\u2019t think the satire was pulled off by the people at The New Yorker. Then King said, &#8216;Well, considering that, there\u2019s a lot of e-mails going around, it gets rather terrible. A Newsweek poll shows that 12% of America believes that you are a Muslim, 26% believe that you were raised in a Muslim home, a lot of misinformation, how do you fight that, Obama?<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Well, you know, by getting on Larry King and telling everybody I\u2019m a Christian and I wasn\u2019t raised in a Muslim home. And I Pledge of Allegiance to the flag and, you know, all the things that have been reported in these e-mails are completely untrue and have been debunked again and again and again. You know, this is actually an insult against Muslim Americans.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here we go.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: It\u2019s something that we don\u2019t spend a lot of time talking about and sometimes I\u2019ve been derelict in pointing that out. You know, there are wonderful Muslim Americans all across the country who are doing wonderful things, and &#8212; and for this to be used as sort of an insult or to raise suspicions about me I think is unfortunate. That\u2019s not what America is all about.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Bull. It is totally what America is all about. America is all about political satire, this is totally America. (laughter) I\u2019ll tell you what he\u2019s doing here, my good friends, Obama, with this latest comment saying it\u2019s an insult to Muslim Americans, he\u2019s trying to incite them. He\u2019s trying to incite Muslim Americans to also join the chorus of those complaining about this. And, of course, the irony here is, ladies and gentlemen, he thinks American Muslims ought to raise hell about a cartoon that is intended to lampoon us. This cartoon is intended to make fun of us conservatives. Are we out there whining about it? (crying) No. We\u2019re reveling in the fact that they didn\u2019t pull it off and everybody on their side is worried that the idiots that make up the majority of people in this country aren\u2019t going to have the sophistication to understand it. So he hopes that this will end up inciting Muslims if he can convince them that this is lampooning them. <\/p>\n<p>Now, there have to be, in the Obama campaign, there have to be some really perverse minds at work in this campaign, constantly trying to manipulate the public based on emotions, such as race or religion, desperation, you name it. And the reason for that is when you lack a good record &#8212; well, when you lack a record, period, 143 days, you\u2019re a community organizer in Chicago working for a corrupt voter registration unit called ACORN, when you have a record that insignificant and then you have to embark on a campaign to conceal the real you, such as your buds Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, this is what you do. You try to divert attention with emotional appeals and rants, and that\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to do here. And it\u2019s just funny that this topic will not go away. Why do you think that the Drive-Bys are so obsessed with this and why do you think Obama is and why do you think nobody is really letting go of this? There is an answer to this, ladies and gentlemen. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We are such a terrible country we are, ladies and gentlemen. I don\u2019t know how collectively we get up and look at ourselves in the mirror every day. After all, look at this Reuters headline: &#8216;Obama Not Closing US Racial Divide,\u2019 according to a Poll. You see how horrible we are? &#8216;Americans are sharply divided by race ahead of the first presidential election in which a black candidate will represent a major party, a New York Times\/CBS News poll showed on Tuesday. The poll found that blacks and whites hold vastly different views of Senator Barack Obama &#8230; and are also divided on the state of race relations in the United States, the newspaper reported. In the survey, 83% of black voters had a favorable opinion of Obama, compared with 31% of white voters,\u2019 and then Reuters is pointing out what they think of their readers. Here\u2019s what Reuters thinks of their readers. The next line is this: &#8216;Obama will face John McCain, a white Republican senator from Arizona, in the November 4 presidential election.\u2019 (laughter)<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not so sure. I got a blog story here with a couple of other elements to it. Apparently, eight superdelegates are preparing to change their minds here, away from Obama. You know, there is tumult on Capitol Hill in the Democrat Party over Obama. I had this story in the stack yesterday. I didn\u2019t get to it, but I remember the premise of it, and that is they don\u2019t like it. The campaign is disjointed. They don\u2019t like the fact he\u2019s moved the DNC to Chicago. They don\u2019t like the fact they\u2019re not involved in it, and they see it as an elitist campaign, and the Obama people quoted in the story say, &#8216;Well, sorta right. When we roll into Washington, we don\u2019t want to owe anybody there. We don\u2019t want to have to pay anybody back when we get there.\u2019 The story goes on to point out that\u2019s not how it works in politics. <\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t get elected president or nominated president by your party in a vacuum. (interruption) Jimmy Carter tried the same thing. Yes, I know. Jimmy Carter tried the same thing. That\u2019s why there\u2019s nothing universally new here. There\u2019s no change. There\u2019s nothing that\u2019s not been seen or done or said before by any political candidate. Anyway, &#8216;On the status of race relations, 59% of black respondents thought they were generally bad [in this country], compared with 34% of whites who thought [they were generally bad]. The nationwide telephone poll of 1,796 adults showed that 39% of blacks said there had been no real progress in recent years in getting rid of racial discrimination. Only 17% of whites said the same thing. Twenty-seven percent of whites said too much had been made of problems facing black people, while half of blacks said not enough had been made of\u2019 barriers they face.<\/p>\n<p>Half the blacks don\u2019t feel that way. That\u2019s right. Half the blacks do not feel that way. You would have to suggest, then, that that\u2019s progress if half the blacks do not feel that way? Don\u2019t report the half the blacks that don\u2019t feel that way; they only report the half of blacks that do. &#8216;The poll was conducted July 7th through the 14th at a margin of error plus or minus three percentage points.\u2019 So remember, now, the reason this headline, &#8216;Obama Not Closing US Racial Divide,\u2019 this is one of the things that he lost early on in his campaign. He was the &#8216;post-racial candidate.\u2019 He was going to &#8216;transcend\u2019 all of this. His race was not going to be a factor. That\u2019s how it started. That blew up when Reverend Wright\u2019s videos hit the scene, and then the Obama campaign began using race as a campaign tool. <\/p>\n<p>So many things that started out with this campaign have gone overboard or been thrown under the bus, not just his grandmother. But a lot of things, a lot of the premises. Everybody is living off of an image of Obama that doesn\u2019t fit anymore. They remember the Obama of six months ago in the early primaries where he was transcending all these things where he was new and change was going to happen and revolutionary things were just around the corner, and now he\u2019s just the same old regular Democrat presidential candidate; no different than any others that have come down the pipe &#8212; and I think as a result of this as a result of this, my personal opinion, ladies and gentlemen, if he keeps whining &#8212; and, by the way, this is The Oprahization of America. <\/p>\n<p>You go on Oprah, and to prove your bona fides, you whine, you even cry a little bit, and you really pull it off if you get Oprah to cry over your story. You\u2019ve hit a grand slam if you do that. So Obama is following that model. He\u2019s out there whining. He\u2019s asking for sympathy, either for him or all these Muslim Americans that are out there making these great contributions, and I think he runs the risk of people getting tired of him. You know, back in the early days of this, there was all this excitement, and everybody was wondering, &#8216;My gosh, this oratory! Is this going to be enough? Are people really going to vote on this?\u2019 Because the comparison between an Obama speech and a McCain speech, there\u2019s no comparison. Now all that glitter is gone, the aura is gone. <\/p>\n<p>Now we use the term &#8216;messiah\u2019 and &#8216;Lord Barack Obama\u2019 as a joke. That\u2019s how he thinks of himself, that\u2019s how a lot of his campaign thinks of him that remember those days where those terms were applicable in, in a political sense. But now, I just wonder if people aren\u2019t going to get tired of him as he\u2019s just constantly changing his mind on things, becoming more like an average, run-of-the-mill, day in, day-out politician. Here. He was on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer last night, guest-hosting was Gwen Ifill, and she said, so, Obama, &#8216;People look at your shifts on issues from warrantless surveillance to gun control, and they say, &#8216;Who is this guy? What does he believe?\u2019 How do you begin to, in this stage in your campaign, tell people who you are and have it stick?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: First of all, I &#8212; I do think that this notion that somehow we\u2019ve had wild shifts in my positions is simply inaccurate. You mentioned the gun position. I\u2019ve been talking about the Second Amendment being an individual right for the last year and a half.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is pathetic.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: So there wasn\u2019t a shift there.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Pathetic.<\/p>\n<p>IFILL: Campaign finance? <\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Well, campaign finance, there\u2019s no doubt that that was a shift. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh. Oh.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: The broader point was if you compare sort of &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: &#8212; my shift in emphasis &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: &#8212; on issues that I\u2019ve been proposing for years &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right, right.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: &#8212; like faith-based initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right, right.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: &#8212; which, uh, have raised, eh, questions, uh, uh, in the press &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: &#8212; you compare that to John McCain&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>IFILL: And raised hackles among some of your reporters.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Well, raised hackles, uh, among some, uh, uh, in the blogosphere.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This guy is sounding like he\u2019s got less energy than McCain has. In recent sound bites that we have played of The Messiah, Lord Barack Obama, he really is really, really down speed. I\u2019m listening to this, and I keep saying, &#8216;Come on, speed it up! Is the broadcast engineer playing games with the playback speed on this?\u2019 But this is just a flat-out lie when he talks about his gun position. &#8216;I\u2019ve been talking about the Second Amendment being an individual right for the last year and a half.\u2019 For crying out loud, he came out in total support of the DC gun ban, and he called it constitutional; then when the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional, he did a flip-flop. Here\u2019s the thing. Gwen Ifill asks these questions, and then Barry answers them, but there aren\u2019t any follow-ups. He\u2019s allowed just to give his answer with no follow-ups. But they know. They know that he\u2019s flip-flopping. They know that he\u2019s making these changes in positions, and this question, &#8216;How do you begin to, in this stage in your campaign, tell people who you are and have it stick?\u2019 Ms. Ifill, let me assist. The express purpose of the Obama campaign is to avoid people finding out who he is. Their goal is to make sure nobody knows for sure who he is, because he\u2019s a radical leftist &#8212; and all this talk, these syllables, are meaningless. They are just calculated positioning \u2019cause he knows radicalism will not be elected president, just like Jeremiah Wright could never be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I have come to a conclusion.
