Longtime listener. This is kind of off the subject of what\u2019s been talking recently but I watched the D-Day ceremony on Saturday with a lot of pride and a little embarrassment. I watched a brilliant speech by a foreigner, French President Sarkozy, and later on I watched an embarrassing speech by President Obama. And the juxtaposition of those two speeches was quite startling to me. Sarkozy spent the majority of his speech as a tribute to all who died, and he gave eternal thanks for the sacrifices that those soldiers made in the cause of freedom and liberty. Obama rambled on just recounting a bunch of isolated stats and sprinkled quotes from notables that weren\u2019t even there. Rambling nothingness, it seemed to me, and meaningless and a little bit of hypocrisy. It was a feeble attempt to compare our &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you know, he also talked about how we all have to work together. D-Day showed we all come together, we&#8230; It was an embarrassment. I must admit to you, I took the occasion Saturday to sleep in. I knew what I was going to hear if I got up to listen to this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"408\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: You missed a great speech by Sarkozy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, but I\u2019ve heard a great speech by Sarkozy when he came and did an address to a joint session of Congress. This guy sounded more like a conservative than any of the Republicans in that hall that day.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So I know what Sarkozy was going to say. I like Sarkozy.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, in light of your earlier comments today, you also missed Obama promoting for the position of God. He made a comment in there that stuck out very starkly to me. In trying to give honor to those men, he said, &#8216;Men of all faiths,\u2019 and then he added the phrase &#8216;and men of no faith,\u2019 and I just thought it was unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ah, he\u2019s just trying not to offend anybody. He\u2019s trying to get the atheist vote. What the hell? I mean, everything with him is a political event, a campaign event and the atheist vote is growing vote. You know, I don\u2019t blame some Americans in fact throwing away faith in God looking at what\u2019s happened to their country. Some people say, &#8216;Where is God saving my country?\u2019 I\u2019m being halfway facetious here, folks, but the atheist vote, the agnostic vote, he\u2019s aiming for it. That\u2019s what that comment was all about. &#8216;Thanks, everybody, for working together.\u2019 I\u2019ll tell you, I did see highlights of it. (sigh) I should not say this, I should not say this. I saw highlights. I don\u2019t think he had the slightest clue what he was talking about. Whoever wrote the speech for him, I don\u2019t think he has one iota of understanding of what D-Day was all about. It was just an event to go campaign. Put the right words of the teleprompter and he\u2019ll say \u2019em.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Jim in Orlando, great to have you on the EIB Network.
