I mean&#8230; Yeah, it might be a little fun. We used to suggest this when I hosted my television show. Whenever Clinton press conference or State of the Union speech or something was coming up, we\u2019d tell people to make little signs that you could tape to the TV screen to remind you what you\u2019re watching so as to keep focused rather than being lulled by what you were hearing. So with Obama speaking tonight, if you want to have some fun, just prepare a sign that fits on your screen that you can read from where you\u2019re watching it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-394816\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/585-042821-TV-Sign-Obama-EXPERIENCE.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/585-042821-TV-Sign-Obama-EXPERIENCE.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/585-042821-TV-Sign-Obama-EXPERIENCE-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/585-042821-TV-Sign-Obama-EXPERIENCE-480x170.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You put it in the lower fourth of the screen, and it says something along the lines of, just off the top of my head here. &#8216;I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. I have no experience.\u2019 Make up one of your own to remind you, and it will change the way you watch the speech. You see how far away from the set the actual podium is going to be. With that set, those columns, Obama is going to appear twice as large as that set tonight by design.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is Eddie in Acworth, Georgia. Hi, Eddie, I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello, Rush. Atlanta Falcons and Georgia Bulldogs dittos to you. How are you today?<br \/>\nRUSH: Very well, sir. Thanks for the call.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Good. I wanted to give you a suggestion basically that you gave to us back in the nineties when Bill Clinton was running around, and it has helped me calm down this week, and I think you need your own advice. Every year when Clinton would give us the State of the Union address you gave us instructions on the State of the Union Viewing Kit. It involved a piece of paper, tape, and we were instructed to tape that to the TV and write on it, &#8216;He is a liar,\u2019 and that was our viewing kit. You remember that, Rush?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, yeah. I mentioned that earlier today, that it would be fun for people to do that on their TV sets tonight. As Obama speaks, the sign you put on your TV is, &#8216;I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. I have no experience.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, the kit worked beautifully for me, of course, a couple times I\u2019ve written an &#8216;S\u2019 in front of the &#8216;H-E\u2019 to cover Hillary, Nancy, and the others out there, but it\u2019s worked beautifully and kept me pretty calm this week. I\u2019ve dusted that thing off.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-394822 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Obama-2009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Obama-2009.jpg 387w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Obama-2009-300x267.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, good. We need to update it. It\u2019s not enough to say Obama is a liar. I mean, we\u2019ve been through that before. It\u2019s just: &#8216;I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. I have no experience.\u2019 Have that on your TV screen, if you watch this thing tonight so that you\u2019re able to keep it in perspective. I appreciate the offer. People, audience members, they heard my eruption in the first hour. Cookie even says, &#8216;Rush, I don\u2019t want you to die. I want you to live. Please, don\u2019t watch this tonight. I\u2019ll watch it. I\u2019ll get you all the audio you need.\u2019 What did Kerry say? I don\u2019t want to know. Don\u2019t tell me! Why do we have to revisit John Kerry? Revisiting Clinton and Biden is enough, from the party that\u2019s promising all this great future and rotgut garbage, all they\u2019re doing is giving us the past. (interruption) Well, I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t see it, because I was reading some conservative bloggers who were praising Kerry\u2019s speech as finally a good one, that he\u2019s much better when he\u2019s not actually running for something.<\/p>\n<p>The conservatives, the posters at National Review Online, on The Corner, were saying Kerry\u2019s speech was one of his best. If it\u2019s as bad as you say, then I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t see it. I\u2019m glad. I woulda just totally lost it. I woulda lost it worse than I did with Biden&#8230; (sigh) Then, there\u2019s a God. I didn\u2019t turn the TV on \u2019til eight o\u2019clock. I was busy. I was sitting there not eating. I was on my diet working hard. I turned on the TV at eight o\u2019clock or maybe it was close to nine.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We have taken the steps here ourselves at RushLimbaugh.com. We have prepared a bumper-sticker-size sign in a PDF format at RushLimbaugh.com. If you\u2019re a member, it will be in your Rush in a Hurry that comes out about an hour and a half before the website\u2019s updated. It will also be on the website, &#8216;I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. I have no experience.\u2019 You cut it out, put it up there on your TV screen, or you can download it as a PDF and size it if you want. It\u2019s in four color, and every &#8216;O\u2019 is Obama\u2019s logo. It looks very good.
