RUSH: This is Chelsea. Chelsea, thank you for waiting. I\u2019m glad you called. You are on the EIB Network. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you for taking my call. First of all, I want to say thank you so much for taking this slot out because without your show I wouldn\u2019t have been who I am today. I want to, if I may, talk a little bit. I\u2019m 19 years old. I started off at the beginning of the year as an Obama supporter unfortunately and I voted for him in the primaries. I\u2019m registered independent. And I realized the more I spoke about and repeated what he was saying, the more people hated me, and it\u2019s interesting because it is in California and we\u2019re so liberal out here. But I just started sounding really ignorant and I — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Give me an example, Chelsea. What would you say in repeating Obama that — and who, what people? Your peers? Your friends? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, my parents. And my dad, he\u2019s an Obama supporter and we don\u2019t talk politics anymore because now I\u2019m a McCain supporter. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Amazing. <\/p>\n

CALLER: And I\u2019m thoroughly convinced that if Obama becomes president we\u2019re pretty much doomed. And my question to you throughout all this — and hopefully you can answer at the end — is what can I do? I would do anything to gain support for McCain. Like, I fear a little bit about all the hype that Obama has been getting and all the media and all that. But then it\u2019s starting to sound and look like — and forgive me because I am young — but Britney Spears and her whole tragedy of just being in the spotlight and being so put out there. And the more she was, the more insane she became and — <\/p>\n

RUSH: See, I think you\u2019re on to something. I\u2019m really grateful to have your perception of this as a 19-year-old because you\u2019re imbued in the very pop culture that the Obama campaign\u2019s trying to reach. You\u2019re in that demographic. <\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s sickening.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So this is looking like the Britney Spears show to you minus the meltdowns. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. I mean, going to other countries trying to be all sweet and just sounding retarded. Everything he\u2019s saying just sounds bland and he\u2019s basically saying nothing. I was actually watching The Verdict last night and I saw the little snippet of what they — was that his entire speech that was on, the little, like, maybe five minutes that he spoke to everyone in Germany? Or was it actually longer than that? <\/p>\n

RUSH: No, it was 27 minutes. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, okay. Well, he basically said nothing, and I was very disappointed. I mean, I\u2019m not disappointed. It\u2019s more expected now. He sounds like, when I hear him on the radio or when you guys play snippets, it\u2019s just annoying. It\u2019s just the most annoying voice I\u2019ve ever heard and it seems like he\u2019s trying to be Martin Luther King or something. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second, wait a second. I\u2019ve got to understand a timeline here because — <\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Because you\u2019re 19. And back at the turn of the century, at the beginning of the year you were all gung-ho for this guy and you\u2019ve done more than a 180. You have a visceral dislike. What happened? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I was actually at Gay Pride in Long Beach and I met someone on the street from Chicago who\u2019s a conservative and he was not there for Pride obviously. But he was speaking to me and that\u2019s when I started repeating the things, we started talking politics because I\u2019m a political science major and he is, but he\u2019s much older. And I was saying change every second and how we need something new, we need something fresh. <\/p>\n

RUSH: We need to change things so Obama won\u2019t leave us unchanged, things like that. Like the past is so yesterday. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, exactly. And he questioned everything I said and he — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So wait a minute now, Chelsea. I\u2019m trying to get a mental picture here. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. <\/p>\n

RUSH: You are at a Gay Pride event in Long Beach. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. <\/p>\n

RUSH: How much older is he than you? <\/p>\n

CALLER: He\u2019s, I think, four years older than me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ancient. You\u2019re 19; he\u2019s 23. <\/p>\n

CALLER: He was visiting from Chicago and he was lost. <\/p>\n

RUSH: That was the next question. You said he had no pride, meaning he\u2019s accidentally at the Gay Pride event where you were. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. And he was like so lost and I\u2019m into talking to people. I would talk to anyone and I would cheer and do whatever if it\u2019s about truth. If it\u2019s not, then I obviously question myself. And that\u2019s what\u2019s happening. <\/p>\n

RUSH: So this answers my first question. It was a 23-year-old conservative from Chicago who started throwing your words and praise for Obama back at you and you realized how stupid you sounded. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. I\u2019m not that person. I, like you, value honesty, I value integrity and so what I did was, as an Obama supporter at that point, I wanted to go — he was holding a photo shoot\/public thing where you could come and he would answer some questions, probably two from the audience and hundreds from reporters, and I wasn\u2019t allowed in because I wasn\u2019t Asian, African-American or white over 52. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I heard about those, I heard about the way they were stacking the audience. They do that. Every campaign does that. Time is running out. I need to ask you a question. You asked me earlier a moment ago what you could do to support McCain because you are really worried about your future if Obama wins. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah. I will move out of the country. <\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no. No, don\u2019t do that. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. <\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re going to need people like you to reverse some of this. This is dead serious stuff. Is there anything about McCain you like? <\/p>\n

CALLER: I love him. First of all, he\u2019s admirable, I\u2019m so glad I said that word right. I mean, the things that he\u2019s been through and the fact, I mean, he said it himself, he would rather win — and he\u2019s got a lot wrath for this — but he would rather win a war than win an election. He cares about people. And I saw when Obama was talking about, he was trying to explain that comment that McCain made about him not caring about his daughters and his family. And I don\u2019t think he cares about the country. I think he is all about the glamour and the glitz. And once he becomes president and he\u2019s sitting in that office, he is not going to know what to do. He\u2019s going to be so confused. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, he doesn\u2019t know what to do now. Somebody\u2019s running this campaign. Somebody\u2019s writing his speeches, putting words in his mouth. He\u2019s wandering around aimlessly now as The Messiah. Look, Chelsea, this has been fabulous. I wish I had more time but I\u2019m stuck here in the constraints of time with our program. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I mean, I can write you an e-mail, right? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, you can, absolutely. ElRushbo@EIBnet.com. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I will do it. <\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. I look forward to seeing it. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Thank you so much. <\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet. Thank you. I was believing everything I was hearing until the last 30 seconds and then I got to go.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: A very interesting observation from 19-year-old Chelsea in Hollywood. She\u2019s watching this Obama show, the disciples and The Messiah, she says, ‘I feel like I\u2019m watching Britney Spears.\u2019 What does she mean by that? Not that Obama\u2019s Britney Spears but that it\u2019s just a spectator event. It\u2019s media just forcing things on people. I got a couple of e-mails from people, ‘Rush, why is Sarkozy going out of his way to be nice and greet Obama?\u2019 Very simple. The media circus. He\u2019s a politician. Stagecraft. He will gladly get all this attention and accept all this attention that the worldwide media is focusing on him, what, with Obama in town. Doesn\u2019t mean anything. Refuse to see him, he can\u2019t do that. So it all makes sense. None of this is anything to worry about, ladies and gentlemen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
