RUSH: This house business, this is such a nonstory. The rich elitism now is almost entirely found on the left. From the Jay Rockefellers to the John Kerrys to the Pelosis. I mean Pelosi is a multimillionairess with her husband. She\u2019s got all kinds of homes. This business that they\u2019re still focusing on McCain on this, just classic, just classic the way the media just pumps this stuff up and tries to make a story out of it to try to help Obama, because it\u2019s such a nonstory. McCain doesn\u2019t own the properties. McCain doesn\u2019t go to them. One thing you can say about McCain, the last number of years he may have married a wealthy woman, but he has not advanced his lifestyle at all. He does not avail himself of the opportunities to go to all these houses and so forth. In fact, there\u2019s an interesting contrast. (interruption) McCain is not a slumlord. What do you mean, Snerdley, McCain\u2019s a slumlord? No, I mean he wasn\u2019t vacationing. He goes to the Sedona place, they sold the big house in Phoenix and bought a condo when the kids were gone. His primary residence is a condo in Virginia. He doesn\u2019t even live in DC. <\/p>\n

We found out the other day that Obama — and Jake Tapper, by the way, has done some research into Obama\u2019s family tree, and so far he\u2019s been able to count eight half siblings of Obama. One of them was George Hussein Obama found in the hut in Kenya, outside Nairobi, and we found that old George Hussein Obama is living on less than a dollar a month. We also found out that one of McCain\u2019s houses, a condo, is one that they provide for an elderly aunt of Mrs. McCain\u2019s. How come Barry can\u2019t send his half-brother a $20 bill and almost double the guy\u2019s annual income. A $20 bill would almost double his brother\u2019s annual income, and McCain said to be so out of touch with the common man, uses one of his houses to house an elderly aunt. So they\u2019re asking all these questions of McCain on his houses. Okay, I got some questions for Obama. How many huts and ramshackle shacks do your blood relatives own or live in? Have you helped with payments or cosigned bank notes for any of those huts, thatched or otherwise? If your hut-owning relatives ask you for a loan to make an addition to their hut or to build an outhouse, would you be willing to spend the five dollars necessary for an add-on? <\/p>\n

Obama, what would be an appropriate hut-warming gift for a half-brother or grandmother? A mosquito net? Cortisone cream for bug bites? A waterproof deck of cards? Please tell us, sir. You\u2019ve had to deal with these questions as your half siblings have moved into new huts and quarters around the world. How does one go about, Obama, addressing a Christmas card for a close relative that is a hut dweller? Do they have an address, some kind of GPS coordinates to give FedEx? Does FedEx go to any of the huts where your half siblings live? Senator Obama, would it be in poor taste for you to send a sign to your blood relatives to hang in their hut that says ‘Hut, Sweet Hut\u2019? These are legitimate questions, these are damn legitimate questions. Let me tell you something. After you send the sign that says, ‘Hut, Sweet Hut,\u2019 if you haven\u2019t done that, why haven\u2019t you lifted a finger to help these half siblings raise their standard of living? Do they like living in abject poverty? <\/p>\n

What about, Senator Obama, the least among us? Does George Hussein Obama hope for change? Does he hope for an outhouse? Does he hope for some plumbing? Does he hope that he doesn\u2019t have to walk a half mile to get a cup of water that is not sanitized, Senator Obama? Does your half-brother George Hussein Obama long for cable TV? We know, Senator, he gets newspapers from somewhere because there are pictures of you posted on one of the walls of the hut. Senator Obama, do your half siblings living in huts all over the world look to you for answers? Do they look to you for hope? Do they look to you for change? By his own admission, your half-brother, George Hussein Obama, has lived in this hut for years, with no change in his life whatsoever, and he is your half-brother! And you\u2019re running on ‘Change.\u2019 At least, Senator Obama, have the compassion of Castro. At least send your brother, George Hussein Obama, a rice cooker.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Dave in Cincinnati. You\u2019re next. Welcome, sir.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve been listening to you for 20 years, and I agree with most of your positions. I\u2019m a fairly conservative person myself, at least very fiscally conservative.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But politically — and I\u2019ve been fairly politically conservative. Your last dissertation about Obama\u2019s half siblings, you know what? I\u2019m not a politically correct guy, but God Almighty, that was offensive to me. And I\u2019m a guy on your side —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can understand that, you know, because I suggested he send the guy a rice cooker —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know —<\/p>\n

RUSH: — and it\u2019s worthless if you don\u2019t have any rice. I shoulda said, ‘Send some rice.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: Listen, you have — you have a powerful podium and a great message in terms of — of — of our potential dangers with Obama being elected. And those are great, great positions.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I talk about those, too. We cover the gamut here on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know. I know. I just — I just — it just to me was —<\/p>\n

RUSH: What was offensive about it? What in the world was offensive about it? There was nothing in it that wasn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, again, to — to talk about — to talk about the huts and — it was just — it was —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why not. He lives in a hut.<\/p>\n

CALLER: If — if — if — if — if — if — if — if people of means get put down because they don\u2019t have means, being looked at by — by the Democrat Party as — as the evil rich people, is it — is it — does it make — it doesn\u2019t make it right for — and I guess I know a lot of times you\u2019re spoofing, but gosh darn it, you have so many important things to talk about. <\/p>\n

RUSH: David?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I agree with your positions.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. I appreciate it. This was a very important thing to talk about because this was parody, this was satire. This was brilliant humor and requires elements of truth in order to be brilliant humor. I didn\u2019t put the guy in the hut. He\u2019s not my half-brother. Vanity Fair found the guy in a hut. Vanity Fair found a guy in a hut without an outhouse, without plumbing. He\u2019s Obama\u2019s half-brother. Obama, ‘the least among us\u2019! Obama doesn\u2019t give to charity. Meanwhile, Obama is out praising Russia and China, and his campaign is trying to make hay out of a bunch of lies about John McCain\u2019s homes. So if we\u2019re going to question people\u2019s homes and who lives in them and who pays for them, well, we got a lot of Obama half siblings out there living in abject poverty! A guy who has four to five to $6 million a year in income, and he\u2019s got a half-brother living on less than $12 a year in a hut! I didn\u2019t create any of this. It exists and it\u2019s real. If you can\u2019t handle when I point it out…?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop and think of this. With one $20 bill, just one $20 bill from Obama to his half-brother George Obama, he could double his annual income. A $20 bill, but he doesn\u2019t send him one.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Last hour, on this program, ladies and gentlemen, I asked Senator Obama a series of questions about his half-brother George Hussein Onyango Obama who Vanity Fair found over in Nairobi in the outskirts of some little town living in a shack, living in a six-by-nine-foot hut. I asked these questions last hour because the Obama campaign, they\u2019ve got nothing else going on, they\u2019re in such disarray, there is panic that has settled in over Obama\u2019s loss of a lead in the polls and they\u2019re trying to make hay out of a stupid story about McCain not knowing how many homes he has. He doesn\u2019t have any. They are his wife\u2019s. He doesn\u2019t own any of them. So I asked a series of questions about Obama. A caller by the name of David from Cincinnati was offended and called to tell me that he was a conservative on some things and a wishy-washy moderate on other things. <\/p>\n

Now, as you know, I have a little bit of a hearing deficiency. Most voices on the phone sound identical to me, particularly women. Sometimes if I know the voice, I can distinguish it, but everybody told me that David from Cincinnati sounded like McCain and that his voice was a little higher, and I didn\u2019t get that at all. So they want to play this for us, the broadcast engineer, side by side. This is where I as host, by the way, have to exhibit total trust in the staff. The staff could totally embarrass me here, but they have told me that these two people sound remarkably the same. So who we got first? We have David from Cincinnati first? Here\u2019s David, here\u2019s the caller, just 30 seconds of his complaining about the questions I asked Obama.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve been listening to you for 20 years, and I agree with most of your positions. I\u2019m a fairly conservative person myself, at least very fiscally conservative.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But politically — and I\u2019ve been fairly politically conservative. Your last dissertation about Obama\u2019s half siblings, you know what, I\u2019m not a politically correct guy, but God Almighty, that was offensive to me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, that\u2019s Dave in Cincinnati. Here\u2019s McCain.<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: My greatest moral failing, and I have been a very imperfect person, is the failure of my first marriage. It\u2019s my greatest moral failure. I think America\u2019s greatest moral failure–<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, I see it. There is a remarkable similarity in the speech patterns there, both fairly conservative, too. I mean the similarity is remarkable, now that it\u2019s pointed out to me. Interesting. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I wonder if Obama even knows… You know, does McCain know how many houses he has? Obama, do you know how many half brothers you have? Do you know how many stepmothers that you have? Hey, don\u2019t blame me. Jake Tapper at ABC tried to figure it out, and he\u2019s up to eight half brothers, but he\u2019s not sure he\u2019s finished. Hey, look, folks, if they\u2019re going to bring up this meaningless little garbage about McCain and his houses and so forth when the Democrats are now the party of the rich, McCain doesn\u2019t live a lifestyle of extravagancy anyway. Obama does. A lot of the Democrats do. McCain doesn\u2019t. I think Obama probably likes the rail system in China, too. I mean that\u2019s part of the infrastructure, isn\u2019t it, the railroad system? He likes it not because it works, because most of the time it does not work, but they have a lot of people over there who can make chugging sounds to make it seem like it works when all these cameras are in town for the Olympics. They also have this, Obama. They have 10,000 people wading in toxic waste in the river cleaning out the algae. Remember that, before the Olympics started, the green soup where some of the water events were going to take place? They had ten thousand people wading in toxic waste in the river cleaning out the algae. We\u2019re getting a better picture of Obama\u2019s America here. At least in America the river water isn\u2019t chewy! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
