RUSH: All right, Obama\u2019s approaching 55 minutes on this speech. I don\u2019t know who can sit through 55 minutes of a speech and be inspired by it at a conventional. I mean this is not as though you\u2019ve got a comedian out there doing a stand up routine. This is dry, dull, political garbage. Cookie just sent me the first batch of audio sound bites from Obama\u2019s speech. I frankly don\u2019t want to listen to it. I was just telling Snerdley, I gotta be very, very careful about this \u2019cause I\u2019m trying to be persuasive here with the people that don\u2019t agree with me. By the way, if any of you are doubting that there are liberals in this audience, see my e-mail from last week when I started telling the Obama jokes. (laughing) Oh, we know you\u2019re there, you lefties. This guy just grates on me. He\u2019s a know-it-all, and he doesn\u2019t know anything. He\u2019s arrogant with no reason to be. He\u2019s got all the answers when he\u2019s never run anything other than his mouth, and plus the personality type, as I mentioned to you on Friday, it just grates. In fact, Mike, let me find the Bill Maher sound bite here because this is interesting. Bill Maher, who\u2019s deranged on the left, something happened to these people in the last eight years, and they\u2019re still enraged and angry even though their side won. Now, Bill Maher is upset that Obama is not liberal enough, but that\u2019s not the point of this sound bite.<\/p>\n

MAHER: This is not getting the job done and this is not what I voted for. And this is why I don\u2019t want my president (applause) — this is why I don\u2019t want my president — to be a TV star because TV stars are too worried about being popular and too concerned with getting renewed. (applause). I never thought I\u2019d say this (applause) but, actually, what he needs in his personality is a little George Bush. (booing) He needs to stop worrying about being loved and bring out that smug, insufferable swagger that says, ‘Suck on it, America.\u2019 (laughter) <\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, there was applause at every applause line until he gets to Bush and then here came the instinctive, habitual booing. But he\u2019s got a point. This guy is on television all day, every day, and it\u2019s starting to rub people raw. And the more you\u2019re on television and the longer you\u2019re on television the less people are going to pay attention to you. You gotta keep yourself unique. Not predictable. Folks, I guarantee you, he\u2019s now approaching almost one hour in this speech to the doctors at the AMA. That tells me he thinks he\u2019s got a tough sales job. He\u2019s answering all these so-called objections that his critics have mentioned there. He\u2019s very defensive again. I think it\u2019s panic central inside the White House. But he needs a little George Bush. And, by the way, speaking of George Bush, Thomas Friedman in the New York Times in a column over the weekend came out and praised Bush for Middle East peace. He did, he did, he came out and praised Bush for Iraq, even though it was a war of choice, and turned out well, it was great, democracy in the Middle East, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, now you got Bill Maher saying that Obama needs to be a little bit more like Bush, a little swagger, don\u2019t care what people think of you. Here\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do America, if you don\u2019t like it, suck on it, which is typical HBO language, but there you have it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
