RUSH: Here\u2019s Dave in western Pennsylvania. Nice to have you on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. Thanks-for-taking-my-call dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I would like to know who Obama is beholding (sic) to or who he owes all this to because in any circumstance like this I mean there\u2019s gotta be somebody that\u2019s gotta have a payback on this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I have thought for the longest time that somebody chose Obama to run and was a secret sponsor, if you will.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have no idea. Financially, probably George Soros. I think Soros is involved. I can\u2019t prove it, though, so I really don\u2019t like saying it. All I know is Soros has raised all kinds of money, and if you look at his transition team, Podesta and Rahm Emanuel and a bunch of people, these are seasoned Clinton administration-types —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm-hmm. Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — who have a little bit more experience under their belts than when they were working with the boy president, Bill Clinton. But, you know, somebody had to say, ‘Barack, you\u2019re the guy that can do us this year because nobody\u2019s going to criticize you because you\u2019re black. Nobody\u2019s going to have the guts to use that. You\u2019re ‘articulate.\u2019 We can put good words in your mouth. Republicans, they don\u2019t have anybody worth talking about running,\u2019 but I don\u2019t know who it is. I\u2019m under the impression somebody is behind him. You have to have somebody behind you. When you have no experience, when you have 143 days in the Senate, there has to be somebody behind the scenes doing this, and it might be a collection of people. You know, it might be the mentors that he\u2019s had all these years. I don\u2019t know what political experience they have in terms of advising him, but I understand what you\u2019re talking about. You just don\u2019t see people singularly come along, but as the Newsweek reporters are talking about, he does do everything singularly. We do know that Axelrod wrote a lot of those messianic speeches and so forth. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Joe in Reno, nice to have you on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega University of Nevada dittos.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I want to know what\u2019s your take on Obama when he, in the 60 Minutes interview, said that he would use his weight to throw around to implement a college football playoff.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. He wants a playoff system for the Bowl Championship Series, right? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we all do, but not like that!<\/p>\n

RUSH: You mean you don\u2019t want the president doing it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t want him —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why not?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — throwing his weight around any more than he…<\/p>\n

RUSH: When I heard that — my reaction was when I heard Obama say that he was going to do it — my guess is that a majority of people that voted him want him to do that and much more. They want him to say, ‘Here\u2019s your health care fixed and here\u2019s your gasoline price at two bucks a gallon. By the way, here! Your mortgage is paid off; and, by the way, we\u2019re going to have a playoffs. I\u2019m just going to decide this is going to be done; we\u2019re going to do that. It\u2019s done now.\u2019 I think there are people that voted for him would welcome this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I didn\u2019t vote for him and I don\u2019t welcome this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You think…?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t welcome this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You think this committee that put together the BCS whole system to come up with a national championship can do any better? What a mess that is.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, well, you know, who do you think that — you know, the — the tax — Who do you think he\u2019s going to go after for the taxes? The rich BCS people. He\u2019s going to really do everything he can to —<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s taxes got to do with streamlining having a playoff system?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, they\u2019re the rich. That\u2019s why they built the BCS is to get rich off of it. That\u2019s what\u2019s going on here! He\u2019s going after \u2019em in numerous different ways. I\u2019m for a playoff, but I\u2019m not for the president throwing his weight around in such ways.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think actually if you want to fix the Bowl Championship Series — if you really want to come up with an unassailable way to determine the national championship Division 1 college football — you wait \u2019til Donovan McNabb retires from quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles and give him the problem, and I\u2019ll bet you… Well, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
