RUSH: We have Millicent from Boca Raton. She\u2019s been waiting the longest. Great to have you on the phone, Millicent, thank you for waiting.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Mr. Limbaugh. I enjoy your program. I was a little confused when I heard that Barack Obama was going to Chicago for vacation over Memorial Day and leaving the ceremonies and such at Arlington in Washington, DC. You know, it wasn\u2019t like he was going to Martha\u2019s Vineyard or Hawaii. I didn\u2019t understand Chicago until I heard on the news, I was listening to CNBC, they were saying the Blagojevich trials are starting, and I didn\u2019t know if maybe he went to Chicago for some pretrial strategy sessions and such? Because I understood that he was possibly going to be asked to speak, and in light of the Sestak incidents that have come up, it seems like it may be plausible. He might have been involved. If he was willing to ask a former president to get involved in a senatorial election —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, as we —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — could he possibly have had a few other meetings while he was in Chicago?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it is possible. What Millicent told Snerdley when she called him — he puts the slug line to give me an idea what the caller wants to talk about — is ‘Who the hell goes to Chicago for vacation?\u2019 (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Millicent said that. She\u2019s in Boca Raton, you have to understand. Keep things in perspective.<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, but that is Obama\u2019s home. It\u2019s interesting, Michael Barone makes the point that he has no ties to Chicago, none whatsoever, other than Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. Of all the places Obama could have chosen to live, why, Chicago? It makes no sense. Barone even makes the point that even if you\u2019re born and bred in Chicago, if you\u2019re not part of the machine, you don\u2019t get in it. It\u2019s a very, very closed club and outsiders very seldom get in it. He got in it. And he got in it very deep, Senate, then the United States Senate, and now president of the United States and he\u2019s taken the Chicago way there. This Blagojevich thing, it is interesting, but, you know, Blagojevich is a lot of bluster. He\u2019s been talking big, but there really doesn\u2019t seem to be much solid behind his defense. The Sestak thing, this could be a huge, huge problem. This is bribery. There\u2019s no other way around it. Whatever he was promised was a job he was not qualified for or eligible for under the law. When you get Bill Clinton involved to take the heat here — which is understandable. You gotta get a guy who\u2019s willing to commit perjury in order to take the flak on this. So clearly there\u2019s concern in the White House over this Sestak thing. You can tell that by the way Gibbs continues to answer questions about it. As to whether Obama went to Chicago to try to get his story straight with lawyers over what might happen with Blagojevich, I just think it\u2019s a damn shame that we as citizens have to conjure up these theories to explain the actions of our president, don\u2019t you, Millicent?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, he\u2019s so calculating in everything he does —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — that it was just too, like, ‘Why is he going to Chicago?\u2019 And then this came up on the news today, and I was like, you know, it would just seem too — too much of a connect, and I\u2019m —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, well, look, this is —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wonder! (giggles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s what you have to know about it. This is, I think, the simplest way to understand Obama going to Chicago. It\u2019s just a subtle message to Blagojevich. Just showing up is… Just think of it as the horse\u2019s head in the bed in The Godfather.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Blagojevich is supposed to realize that if he doesn\u2019t play ball here, he could wake up and see his own head in the bed, and Obama\u2019s trip to Chicago was to send that message.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
