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

RUSH: Sal in San Diego. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. You\u2019re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. Mega dittos from sunny San Diego.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to mention that I started listening to you back when you were having technical difficulties on the air with your hearing, and I was wondering if the talent on loan from God was coming to an end. I\u2019m glad it didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

RUSH: When you started listening to me, I was having my hearing loss, and you were wondering if the talent on loan from God was coming to an end?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, obviously not.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct, correct. So that\u2019s why I kept listening to see when it was gonna come to an end, and it didn\u2019t, so that\u2019s good news.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s miraculous news. It\u2019s great. Is your name Sal? You are from San Diego, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, \u2019cause it says here you wanted to talk about Obama being an example to people.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, yes. I did have a question and a comment, and wanted to ask that question.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Well, time is dwindling, is the reason I bring that up.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. I just wanted to mention that when you made a statement back about five or six months ago about the president\u2019s missed opportunity… (static flare)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I didn\u2019t get that. What missed opportunity? (interruption) Snerdley, I think you got scammed there. Either that or he just choked \u2019cause he\u2019s nervous. Why did you take…? (interruption) I don\u2019t know. I… (interruption) No, he didn\u2019t hang up. That was a gunshot!<\/a> That was a gunshot. He didn\u2019t hang up. I know gunshots when I hear \u2019em on the phone, and he didn\u2019t hang up. I heard it. That was a gunshot. And he\u2019s gone, right? (interruption) <\/p>\n

Oh, no. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, I\u2019m happy to inform you that Sal in San Diego was not shot 20 minutes ago. That\u2019s not why we lost his cell. He\u2019s back. His cell phone battery died or his connection or something. So Sal, we\u2019re happy to hear you didn\u2019t get shot, and welcome back to the program. What\u2019s up?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I\u2019ll get to my question. You had made a statement about five or six months ago about the president\u2019s missed opportunity. This was about the time that you had mentioned that if Republican allegations started coming out at about this time, close to the next election, because the Democrats were cleaning house by convicting or causing some of their people to resign because of bad things going on, on their end. Because the president is a big example of what you mentioned, and my question is, is the president setting a precedent for working people that it is okay to slouch on the job by playing golf. Or, for all the unemployed people, since there\u2019s no work, might as well take a hobby and maybe golf was it?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the honest answer to that question is, Sal, he doesn\u2019t care about the unemployed. I\u2019m sorry. He just doesn\u2019t care. This is a president who flaunts his access to the good life. He flaunts it. He wears it proudly. He\u2019s in your face, our face, about it. He and his wife flying to the same place on two separate jumbo jets four hours apart, in one vacation example. I think the president buys into his own myths, and one of the myths that\u2019s out there is that we\u2019re in an economic recovery and that job creation is happening. <\/p>\n

The president lives in a buzz world, in a PR world, an image world, not in reality. And if his media will report what his Regime says, that there\u2019s an economic recovery going on, and that jobs are being found now, then that\u2019s all that matters. What you can make people think, what impression you can make or leave, what image you can create. But even when we were acknowledged to be at the low point of a recession, with no job creation, Obama was still partying, and the excuse was, “Well, the American people want to see their president keeping an even keel. They know he works hard. They need to see him taking time off, to understand that he\u2019s recharging mentally and emotionally,” and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Sending a signal to the unemployed that he doesn\u2019t care. I don\u2019t think he cares. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think he cares about the problems with Obamacare, not the individual problems. He doesn\u2019t care about that. All he cares is that it\u2019s the law of the land. That was his objective. He got it passed and signed. That\u2019s the objective. And, in time, whether you like it or not isn\u2019t gonna matter. The government\u2019s gonna be in total control of your health and health care. That\u2019s all that matters. How we get there, bumps in the road, it\u2019s fine. Whatever it takes, end result, but little bumps in the road, individual suffering, nah, not that big a deal. <\/p>\n

Look, I mentioned earlier in the program Luis Gutierrez<\/a>, the Democrat from Illinois just can barely contain himself. He\u2019s running around all over telling everybody to get ready \u2019cause Obama, by Labor Day — folks, that\u2019s just a week. Labor Day is Monday. Is that right? Is that right? By Monday, by this weekend or Monday, he\u2019s going to grant amnesty to at least five million illegals, executive order. Luis Gutierrez is running around happily telling anybody who will listen, telling everybody to get ready. What\u2019s that gonna do for the job market? That\u2019s the end of any deportations, if that happens. I mean, it\u2019s gonna set this country ablaze in a whole host of ways. He doesn\u2019t care. <\/line><\/p>\n

This is where, when people say the job\u2019s beneath him and he\u2019s so far above us, and he\u2019s so far down the road we cannot even hope to keep up, I mean, this kind of thing is where that\u2019s true. He doesn\u2019t care about any of the things that aren\u2019t working. They\u2019re just all part of the process to get where he wants this country to end up being. In fact, some people are gonna have to experience a little pain, damn it. They deserve to. This country\u2019s had it too easy for way too long. This country, compared to the rest of the world, life has been a piece of cake. It\u2019s about time we found out what real suffering is. It\u2019s about time some people in this country found out what hard life is really all about. I think some of this is programmed into this transformation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
