Bush is. In fact, I hadn\u2019t seen this. I was channel surfing around last night looking to see if I could find a movie worth watching, and I started with HBO because it\u2019s the first movie channel on DirecTV, channel 501; and I saw the stage show Will Farrell is doing, Good Night with George W. Bush or A Last Day or whatever. It was just outrageous, portraying this guy as the biggest boob, Looney Tune, stupid idiot on the face of the earth. It made me sick watching this stuff, and I realized, you know, that the theater wherever it was taking place was loaded with people laughing themselves silly. And we would never, ever get anything like that about Obama &#8212; and this guy is truly, truly dangerous. I don\u2019t know how smart he is. You know, education is one thing. Common sense smart is another. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"347\" class=\"alignright\"\/>But let\u2019s talk about it. Bush: how-dumb-is-he jokes. We heard \u2019em all over the place. How about if we take the other tack with Obama? How about we start talking about how smart he is. Let\u2019s do some bits on how smart Obama is. He is so smart that he can increase the national debt by $9 trillion and brag that he\u2019s cutting spending by $4 trillion! He\u2019s so smart, he can say he wants us out of Iraq in 16 months and he can say that for the next 27 months. He\u2019s so smart, he can still say that today. He\u2019s so smart that he can say that he\u2019ll get the world to love us again, while Poland and England and France and Germany and the European Union are furious with us, not to mention the ChiComs. And he\u2019s going to work with Iran to stop nukes. All of this stuff is happening. The jokes are on us. When Bush was president, the jokes were on him. With Obama it\u2019s a total joke and the joke is on us, and it actually isn\u2019t funny. Hang on a minute. Where did I&#8230; I&#8230; I&#8230; (muttering). Oh, goody. Oh, here, as a prelude, grab audio sound bite 25. Can you find it in four seconds? Play it.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: We could set up systems so that everybody in each house have their own smart meters that, uhh, will tell you when to turn off the lights, when the peak hours are, can help you sell back energy, uh, that you\u2019ve generated in your home through a solar panel or through, uh, eh, other mechanisms. All this can be done, but it also creates jobs right now. Our biggest problem, we don\u2019t have enough electricians to lay all these lines out there.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) The joke\u2019s on us! This is from his Internet town meeting just moments ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You remember, they got all those jokes about how dumb George W. Bush is.
