Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Real quick, why hasn\u2019t Obama endorsed anyone yet? And if you were him, wouldn\u2019t you endorse Kamala Harris? I mean, she\u2019s a woman and she\u2019s of color, so &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, the main reason he can\u2019t &#8212; no, no. The main reason he\u2019s not endorsing anybody is because his wife may jump into this thing at the end of it. He also can\u2019t afford to lose! If he endorses somebody that loses? The worst thing in the world that could happen is for that to happen. There\u2019s also a number of other reasons why very few prominent people endorse in primaries, especially primaries that are this wide open. Because whoever you make happy endorsing somebody, look at the people that you upset and make angry.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-307137\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042419-Michelle-Obama.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042419-Michelle-Obama.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042419-Michelle-Obama-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And, if Obama did it, if Obama came out and, say, endorsed Kamala Harris, I guarantee you the rest of that field would be livid! The media would go nuts, and they would basically proclaim her the victor, \u2019cause they all think Obama\u2019s a kingmaker. They\u2019ve got that wrong too. They all think if Obama endorsed somebody, that would be it.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody\u2019s wondering, &#8220;Why doesn\u2019t Obama endorse Biden?&#8221; Ha-ha-ha. Folks. If you knew what Obama probably really thought of Biden, you\u2019d be stunned, is my guess. But those are the primary reasons. And he\u2019s not alone. George W. Bush wasn\u2019t gonna endorse anybody, McCain and who else was running in 2008. Sitting presidents and ex-presidents, it\u2019s considered a taboo thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>But one of the big reasons in Obama\u2019s case is that &#8212; do not doubt me on this &#8212; there is every possibility, I wouldn\u2019t know what percentage to attach to it, a number like 75%, 80, I don\u2019t know, but there\u2019s a decent percentage chance that she gets in this. But not in the middle of this fray.<\/p>\n<p>The Obamas are so far above this level of plebeian battle. Let these reprobates battle it out and destroy them and, in the process, maybe do great damage to the party and then swoop in, after having spent no money, and after having made nobody mad, Michelle (My Belle) Obama swoops in to save the Democrat Party from itself to a roaring media crescendo of excitement and approval. Don\u2019t rule it out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-310003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052319-Michelle-Barack-Obama.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052319-Michelle-Barack-Obama.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052319-Michelle-Barack-Obama-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And one of the main reasons that this is a possibility &#8212; \u2019cause a lot of people, when I say this, &#8220;Rush, there\u2019s no way. She\u2019s not gonna give up the life she\u2019s got. Nobody would. She\u2019s rich. She\u2019s famous. She\u2019d have to work when she doesn\u2019t want to work. She can go wherever she wants to go, she\u2019s treated like royalty.&#8221; Yeah, but she\u2019s not the reason, folks. It\u2019s Barack Hussein O who wants back in.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t discount the idea that Michelle (My Belle) Obama has got her own passionate and radical ideas. I think the Obamas collectively think they\u2019ve got a lot of scores to settle. That 2016 Trump victory was taken as a personal humiliating, resounding rejection. Obama\u2019s out there, he campaigned more for Hillary than she campaigned for herself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The Obamas collectively think they&#039;ve got a lot of scores to settle.
