RUSH: I\u2019ve got some bites from the Greta show last night. I always put them at the bottom of the stack because unlike the president, this isn\u2019t about me. (interruption) Who was? Greta, is that what she looked like? Greta looked incredulous, she couldn\u2019t believe some of the things I was saying \u2019til I explained it? Yeah, yeah. By the way, grab audio sound bite number one, Mike. We put together a loop here, folks, that we\u2019re going to be using at random when necessary.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: This is not about me. I\u2019m the president of the United States. This is not about me. I\u2019m the president of the United States. This is not about me. I\u2019m the president of the United States. This is not about me. I\u2019m the president of the United States. This is not about me. I\u2019m the president of the United States.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mean we could loop it from now until the House votes on health care, but we won\u2019t. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the story from the Chicago Sun-Times about President Obama congratulating Buehrle on pitch perfect game, Mark Buehrle in Chicago for the White Sox. Gibbs: ”The president congratulated him, said it was an unbelievable achievement, something that everyone will always remember. The president told him maybe it was because he wore the White Sox jacket at the All-Star Game.\u2019 Gibbs said Obama told Buehrle, ‘As a fan, it\u2019s extraordinary. When you\u2019re a White Sox fan and know the guy who did it, it makes it even more fun.\u2019 Buehrle got a chance to say a quick hello to Obama last week at the All-Star Game in St. Louis, where the president raised eyebrows at Busch Stadium by delivering the ceremonial first pitch while wearing a White Sox jacket.\u2019 He didn\u2019t raise eyebrows because he\u2019s wearing — this thing says he raised eyebrows because he was wearing a White Sox jacket. That\u2019s not what raised eyebrows. The girlie toss is what raised the eyebrows. Buehrle said, ”He said he was taking a little bit of credit because he wore the White Sox jacket at the All-Star Game.\u2019 It\u2019s not about him, though, folks. Not about him. Audio sound bite number one.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: This is not about me. I\u2019m the president of the United States. This is not about me. I\u2019m the president of the United States. This is not about me. I\u2019m the president of the United States. This is not about me. I\u2019m the president of the United States. This is not about me. I\u2019m the president of the United States.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But, the guy who threw the perfect game in Chicago only did it \u2019cause Obama wore a White Sox jacket at the All-Star Game. This is not about him. It\u2019s also not about him, the story from the Chicago Sun-Times: ‘President Obama confided to his Chicago friends Thursday night just how frustrating it is having to fight what he considers false arguments against his proposed health care reform effort.\u2019 There aren\u2019t any false arguments about it, folks. He\u2019s the one who really doesn\u2019t know the specifics. He speaks in generalities. He doesn\u2019t want to get into the details. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
