RUSH: So I\u2019m watching Fox News this morning because all these candidates are out doing these last-minute appearances, and Barack Obama is in Jacksonville, Florida; and I thought I saw something, but I wasn\u2019t quite sure \u2019cause I just glanced at the screen and glanced away. Lo and behold, what I saw, I saw. This is a thug. This is not the first time this guy has done this. The staff knows what I\u2019m talking about. I\u2019m going to show you people on the Dittocam here in just a second. He did this to Hillary at one point. He\u2019s up there… This guy does have a messianic complex. What he did, is he took a moment to congratulate McCain on a tough-fought presidential campaign by saying briefly, ‘At the end of this race, I want to congratulate John McCain on the tough race that he fought,\u2019 and then he scratched his face with his middle finger. <\/p>\n

<\/a>As he complimented McCain on the race that he ran, he flipped McCain the bird. Ladies and gentlemen, those of you watching the Dittocam, I\u2019m going to zoom in here now so that you can see this. There we are, a very tight shot there. That is unmistakable. Is it focused in there, Brian? Can you see this well enough? It\u2019s a television camera shot, and I think the messianic complex that the guy has is such, he\u2019s really mad that McCain would dare criticize him at all. He thinks, Obama actually thinks, that he has been treated unfairly, that his wife has been treated unfairly — while ignoring all of the typical hardball politics that his own campaign has dished out. Again, we\u2019ve had so much happen in this race it just stuns me. I don\u2019t know how a guy who has a brother living in a hut in Kenya and an aunt living in a slum in Boston gets away with saying he\u2019s his ‘brother\u2019s keeper.\u2019 <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how the guy gets away with claiming and making people believe that he\u2019s going to fill our gas tanks and take care of their mortgages and make the world a better and safer place and everybody\u2019s going to have plenty. I don\u2019t understand how these things happen. And there are countless other examples. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
