Because Obama has been portrayed as the most popular human being ever to be president, and nobody has the guts to stand up and oppose it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;I think that everybody who works at CNN and MSNBC are going in for MRIs today because they blew their rotator cuffs out shaking their pom-poms for Obama yesterday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;If we are to make progress, if we are to remake this nation, then we must become one in power and one in spirit. So trust Obama with your future, for he knows the way, and trust him with your lives, for he is compassionate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;By the way, it\u2019s official: Irresponsible nominee for treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, is proposing to bail out irresponsible companies to kick off the new era of responsibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;America is the sum of its parts. America is not one man. America is not a messiah. America is not a president. I don\u2019t care who he is: a president is not a pied piper, and America is not a nation of cultists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;Reagan made people understand that they are the ones who make the country work, that America\u2019s greatness is defined by them, whereas Obama is telling people that government is the only institution that can save them. And that, sir, is sacrilegious to me.&#8221; <\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;By the way, American Idol out-rated the Obama inaugural coverage last night. That ain\u2019t good. But look at the two choices: I mean, they\u2019re both pop culture cellar dwellers.&#8221; <\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;Remember back in the 1960s when we had all these radicals running around with bumper stickers that said, &#8216;Question authority\u2019? Look how blindly observant those same people have now become, and look how blindly observant their own children have become. There is no questioning of anything with them.&#8221; <\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n<p>&#8220;Shelly, do you realize how you sound? &#8216;I don\u2019t agree with Obama\u2019s choices, I think he\u2019s making false promises, but we need to support him.\u2019 Have you had an IQ test lately?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125100.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"184\" height=\"72\"\/> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re Missing Out on Thousands of Rush Quotes!
