RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I had a conversation with a friend Wednesday afternoon after the program, and he said, “How are you going to handle this? You know, nobody\u2019s criticizing Obama. How are you going to do this? How are you going to handle criticizing the first black American to run for president?” I said, “I\u2019m gonna do it the way I always do it. First, at the top of the list, I\u2019m gonna do it fearlessly. I\u2019m not gonna bow to political correctness.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m gonna do it with humor. I\u2019m gonna focus on the issues. I\u2019m gonna react to what he says. It\u2019s simple. Do it just like if it were any other case, a man, right? He\u2019s a liberal. How do I criticize liberals? I criticize them.” But I have devised, ladies and gentlemen, an even more creative way of criticizing Obama. I have just this morning named a new position here on the staff that is the “Official Obama Criticizer.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The EIB Network now has an “Official Obama Criticizer.” He is Bo Snerdley, and we are going to illustrate the first sort of… You might call this a pilot. But I think it\u2019s gonna work and we will do this, as warranted, when Obama needs to be criticized, our official criticizer, Bo Snerdley, will do so, and we\u2019ve got something really here to criticize. If you watched the debate last night, Obama came out with something that\u2019s unbelievable, just unbelievable. This is what he said.<\/p>\n
OBAMA: Heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon, supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon, ended up being sent to amphibian with 24 because 15 of soldiers had been sent to Iraq, and, as a consequence, they didn\u2019t have enough ammunition, they didn\u2019t have enough Humvees, they were actually capturing Taliban weapons because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for them to get properly equipped by our current Commander-in-Chief. Now, that\u2019s a consequence of bad judgment, and, you know, the question is, on the critical issues that we face right now, who\u2019s going to show the judgment to lead?<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right. I now turn the program over to our “Official Obama Criticizer,” Bo Snerdley.<\/p>\n
SNERDLEY: This is Bo Snerdley, African-American in good standing and certified black enough to criticize Obama guy. Mr. Obama, the claims you raise are quite serious. The allegations are so incredulous, that, quite frankly, they are difficult to believe, and I want to believe. I want to hope for change. So, with all due respect, Senator Obama, I demand you prove it. Tell America the name of the military official you spoke with and allow an independent investigation to verify these serious allegations you raise. On behalf of our EIB brothers and sisters in the hood, we\u2019re asking you, Mr. Obama, what\u2019s up with that, yo? You got proof? On behalf of our Hispanic brothers and sisters, we\u2019re asking, Senor Obama, es verdad? Okay, that\u2019s it, Mr. Limbaugh, finally somebody might be able to make Jimmy Carter look competent.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you, Mr. Snerdley. Bo Snerdley, the “Official Criticizer of Barack Obama” as we continue with Open Line Friday. It is an unbelievable claim here, that it\u2019s easier to get Taliban weapons and it\u2019s easier to get Taliban ammunition than it is our own because the Commander-in-Chief has not got the troops properly equipped? Mr. Snerdley is right. I would like to echo Mr. Snerdley\u2019s criticism on this program. Prove this. This is a runaround — where\u2019s somebody demanding proof, where\u2019s somebody demanding the name of the military official that Senator Obama spoke to? This just can\u2019t slide, folks.<\/p>\n
