RUSH: Last Thursday night in New York City, President Obama showed up at the 100th anniversary celebration of the NAALCP. That would be the National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People. Now, I play these four bites because it was I, El Rushbo, who told you prior to the election of President Obama that our race industry would not end. Racism, as an American original sin would not end. It would only get worse. Now, as with the health care sound bites, we have speeded these up. I find it\u2019s much more palatable to listen to this, and it also has a couple of other added benefits I don\u2019t want to have to mention. They\u2019re easily figured out. So here is Obama at the NAALCP. Make no mistake, folks, racism is alive and well in this country. The NAALCP was told as much by President Obama.<\/p>\n

OBAMA (sped up): Make no mistake, the pain of discrimination is still felt in America (applause) by African-American women paid less for doing the same work as colleagues of a different color and a different gender; by La-tin-os made to feel unwelcome in their own country; by Muslim Americans viewed with suspicion simply because they kneel down to pray to their god; by gay dead brothers and sisters still taunted, still attacked, still denied their rights.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, folks! Folks, this is the original litmus test. This is the original list of sins. This guy is out there stoking more hatred among these people. He\u2019s not bringing us together. Where\u2019s the unity? Here, we have three more of these. Here President Obama lists all of the excuses the left makes for African-American failure.<\/p>\n

OBAMA (sped up): If you\u2019re African-American the odds of growing up amid crime and gangs are high. Yes, if you live in a poor neighborhood you will face challenges that somebody in a wealthy suburb does not have to face. But that\u2019s not a reason to get bad grades. (applause) That\u2019s not a reason to cut class. That\u2019s not a reason to give up on y\u2019education and drop out of school. No one has written your destiny for you. Your destiny is in your hands, you cannot forget that, that\u2019s why we have to teach all of our children! No excuses! No excuses!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah, give \u2019em all the excuses. Give them all the excuses, and then say, ‘No excuses.\u2019 ‘If you\u2019re African-American the odds of growing up amid crime and gangs are high. Yes, if you live in a poor neighborhood you will face challenges that somebody in a wealthy suburb does not have to face. But that\u2019s not a reason to get bad grades.\u2019 Now, Bill Cosby got drummed out of the black race for saying this stuff, right? (interruption) I don\u2019t… I know who runs the neighborhoods and who runs the schools in those neighborhoods. (sigh) Look, Snerdley, it speaks for itself. I really don\u2019t need to editorialize here. Let\u2019s now listen to Obama in full preacher mode.<\/p>\n

OBAMA (sped up): Our kids can\u2019t all aspire to LeBron or Lil Wayne. (applause) I want them to aspiring to be scientists and engineers, actors and teachers, not just ballers and rappers. (applause) I want them aspiring to be a Supreme Court justice. I want them aspiring to be the president of the United States of America. (wild applause)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Unless you\u2019re Clarence Thomas. Unless you\u2019re Condoleezza Rice. Unless you\u2019re Walter Williams. Unless you\u2019re Dr. Thomas Sowell. Then you can forget about all those aspirations because people like Obama are going to chop you into liver. And finally this is Obama\u2019s worldview.<\/p>\n

OBAMA (sped up): My life could have easily taken a turn for the worse. I drive through Harlem or I drive through the South Dakota side of Chicago and I see young men on the corners I say, ‘There but for the grace of God go I.\u2019 They\u2019re no less gifted than me. They\u2019re no less talented than me. I had some breaks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ahem. Well, what were the breaks, meeting a bunch of communist mentors? Gee, if they could all meet Reverend Wright, you think their lives would be improving? If they could all meet Frank Davis you think they\u2019re lives…? (interruption) What is the question Mr. Snerdley? The Program Observer has a question. (interruption) Mmm-hmm. That\u2019s a good question. The program observer has asked: ‘How do you think the brothers in Harlem hear this when the first black president says that when he drives through there and he looks at the brothers in Harlem, he says, ‘There but for the grace of God go I.\u2019 So what must the brothers in Harlem think?\u2019 What Obama is saying here is that we\u2019re all just winners at life\u2019s lottery. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s all luck, and the government\u2019s gonna come in here and make it so there\u2019s no luck, and everybody finishes off just as bad as everybody else finishes off — or ends up just as bad as everybody else ends up. But, folks, the real point about this is, this president promised unity. ‘We gotta get past all of this. We can\u2019t continue to think this way.\u2019 He\u2019s out stoking fires of resentment in this speech. You think of the opportunity he has to inspire but going before this group and saying that? He took the opposite route. This speech didn\u2019t inspire anybody. This speech gave them continued reason to be resentful. He reinforced the existing attitude that exists in the race business today. I don\u2019t know when\u2019s the last time he drove through Harlem anyway. I think Caroline Kennedy was there more recently than he\u2019s been there. Didn\u2019t she have lunch with Sharpton at the soul food place? Sophie\u2019s, is that what it is? Sylvia\u2019s, yeah. Sylvia\u2019s. I remember that. That\u2019s when she blew it. She started eating on camera. No seasoned politician, even Ted Kennedy, eats when there are cameras around. You just don\u2019t. You can\u2019t possibly look good doing it — and if you spill something, it\u2019s even worse. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
