\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: When Obama got back from Illinois and telling big whoppers about jobs and the economy to the students at the college there, he went to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Dinner last night and fired up the crowd about illegal — ah! — amnesty.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: The moment I asked — and it won\u2019t be taking place between the November elections and the end of the year — opponents of reform will roll out the same old scare tactics. I\u2019m gonna need you to have my back! I\u2019m gonna need you to have my back! Anything I can do can be reversed by the next president. We already know how powerful the Latino vote can be.<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (applause and isolated hoots)<\/p>\n

OBAMA: In 2012 Latinos voted in record numbers. But despite that record breaking turnout, only 48% of Hispanic voters it turned out. Fewer than half! Fewer than half! So the clearest path to change is to change that number. “Si se puede! Si votamos!” Yes, we can, if we vote. Si se puede. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Was the crowd loud there or not? I… (interruption) It wasn\u2019t? (interruption) Well… (interruption) Well, I know we\u2019ve heard it, but this crowd I\u2019m trying to gauge the response. (interruption) He was all fired up, and it sounded like a few loud voices? (interruption) Yeah, but it\u2019s a big room, and maybe they didn\u2019t capture the applause. Anyway, he wasn\u2019t finished. Obama kept go. He\u2019s all fired up here.<\/line><\/p>\n

OBAMA: America isn\u2019t Congress. America isn\u2019t Washington. America is the striving immigrant who starts a business or the mom who works two low-wage jobs to give her kid a better life! America is the union leader and the CEO who put aside their differences to make the economy stronger. America is the student who defies the odds to become the first in a family to go to college, the citizen who defies the cynics and goes out there and votes, the young person who comes out of the shadows to demand the right to dream! That\u2019s what America\u2019s about.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, that… I\u2019m telling you, that tells you everything you need to know — if you just listen to it — about how Barack Obama and people like him look at this country. “America is the striving immigrant who starts a business.” We\u2019re gonna get a list of victims here. America is a list of victims. America is the land of the oppressed overcoming the evil majority. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what America is. America is the schlubs of life getting even with the majority who would keep them down. That\u2019s what America is. There\u2019s no exceptionalism. There\u2019s no optimism. There\u2019s no greatness. America is the land of grievances! America is a land of anger being redeemed and grievance being rewarded. America is a land of victims taking control. The striving immigrant who starts a business, the mom who works two low-wage jobs to give her kid a better life. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s America!<\/p>\n
