I just felt an opportunity to call because of the president visiting Rhode Island today, my former state &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; and needless to say he\u2019s not endorsing the Democratic candidate for governor, Frank Caprio. His comments in regards to being questioned about that, (paraphrasing) &#8216;Tell him to shove his recommendation,\u2019 and that\u2019s plain English.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019ve got the audio sound bite. I really don\u2019t quite understand this because Obama\u2019s not endorsing anybody. But here\u2019s the way it went. This is the sound bite. This morning in Providence on the radio, the anchor, John DePetro &#8212; do you remember DePetro, Snerdley? You remember him from WABC, right? Oh, yeah. John DePetro interviewed the Democrat candidate for governor, Frank Caprio, and DePetro said, &#8216;Very exciting day. Obama will be in Rhode Island today, front page of this morning\u2019s Providence Journal it says: &#8216;Obama won\u2019t endorse Caprio during the Rhode Island visit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CAPRIO: He could take his endorsement and really shove it. We had one of the worst floods in the history of the United States a few months back, and President Obama didn\u2019t even do a flyover of Rhode Island like President Bush did when New Orleans had their problems. He ignored us and now he\u2019s coming into Rhode Island treating us like an ATM machine. So what I\u2019m saying to President Obama very clearly is I\u2019ll wear as a badge of honor and a badge of courage that he doesn\u2019t want to endorse me as a Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s a Democrat speaking, the Democrat gubernatorial candidate, Rhode Island, Frank Caprio. Not to be confused with Frank DiCapra. You have to understand now that this is really maladroit on the part of the White House. This is not skillful. To go into Rhode Island and not endorse anybody, go in there and raise money, what are you going for? I mean you\u2019re going in there hoping people win, right, you\u2019re campaigning for people that run for Congress, but you don\u2019t even mention the guy running for governor? And so the gubernatorial candidate: &#8216;He can take his endorsement and really shove it. We had one of the worst floods in the history of the US a few months back, he didn\u2019t even fly over. He ignored us and now he\u2019s come into Rhode Island treating us like an ATM machine.\u2019 Mr. Caprio, I hate to tell you this, and although Obama doesn\u2019t know it, he\u2019s doing you a favor by not endorsing you. <\/p>\n<p>You know, Obama is running around saying Republicans want to undo his reforms. That is an endorsement for every Republican that Obama\u2019s running against. Everybody wants Obama\u2019s reforms undone except about 25% of the country. So Obama\u2019s running, (imitating Obama) &#8216;Yeah, the Republicans, why, they want to undo my great work.\u2019 Hurray! Vote Republican! That\u2019s the reaction to that. So, Mr. Caprio, while it may have ticked you off and you look at it as a sign of disrespect, at the end of the day it\u2019s a net plus for you that Obama did not endorse you. He\u2019s doing you a favor. You really have to be amazed at the wonderful eloquence of the Democrats. &#8216;He can take his endorsement and shove it.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Glenn in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, nice to have you on the program, sir.
