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

RUSH: Lebanon, Indiana. We start on the phones with Tony. Welcome, sir, great to have you with us. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. Longtime listener, first-time caller.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Great to have you here, Tony.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you. Rush, as this Ferguson, Missouri, thing has unfolded, I run through the logic like you\u2019re going through now with why things are happening from a political standpoint. I guess it is a template. You know, I followed you a long time; I understand it\u2019s a template. What I do become is a little bit frustrated, because I think that the Sharptons and the Jesse Jacksons of the world<\/a> are using this event to gain political bank, points, if you will, at the exploitation of this young man\u2019s death and the exploitation of his family. Your comment on that?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re tired of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton making hay out of this? Is that what you said?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, a lot, and getting full media support by it, too. You know? And as somebody that says, hey, look the facts first —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s the point. You gotta understand something. This is far bigger than the Reverend Jackson and Al Sharpton. In fact, Sharpton\u2019s getting booed by some of these protesters. These people, they\u2019ve been at it so long, people in the community are finally starting to ask, “What the hell are you doing here? What are you gonna do?” <\/p>\n

Sharpton, let me tell you, there\u2019s a report about Sharpton that I saw, that he actually told the family — I didn\u2019t print this out. I read so darn many blogs and I can\u2019t print everything, and I probably ought to couch this with I can\u2019t confirm it, no insult to the blogs. It sounds believable, though. I can\u2019t remember where I read it, but apparently Al Sharpton charged the family money for his help, and they told him to go pound sand. Apparently he needed money, he wanted payment for leading the effort with their son. And I\u2019m sorry, I can\u2019t remember where I saw it. Let\u2019s say that that\u2019s not true, because I can\u2019t confirm it, I can\u2019t back it up. But I\u2019m telling you, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it\u2019s true. <\/p>\n

But this is the Democrat Party, folks. The president of the United States is in charge of what\u2019s happened here. I think it is time for everybody to come to grips with a simple reality. I don\u2019t care what scandal you name — Benghazi, Fast and Furious, take your pick, IRS — has anybody involved in any of these scandals been fired? Not a single person. <\/p>\n

Now, if you are president of the United States and you\u2019ve got these rogue employees, and they\u2019re out doing this outrageous stuff that you would never sanction, I\u2019m telling you heads would roll. But nobody\u2019s been fired. Which means that everybody involved in all of these scandals, I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s Lois Lerner, I don\u2019t care who it is, they are doing what the White House wants done, as I have stated — sorry to say this over and over — from the beginning. When this first came up, do you remember when Van Jones was outed as a communist, somebody high up in the Regime, and people said, “Gosh, how did this get past Obama?” We had a couple people call here, “How did this happen?” <\/line><\/p>\n

What do you mean, how did it get past Obama? Don\u2019t you understand, Obama hired the guy. Van Jones was there because Obama wanted him there. And just because they\u2019ve gotten rid of Van Jones doesn\u2019t mean they didn\u2019t replace him with the same kind of person. The reason why there\u2019s no smoking gun memo from Obama to the IRS is because there doesn\u2019t need to be. The people at the IRS know what Obama wants done. <\/p>\n

This is about wiping out the Republican Party. This is about doing away with the two-party system, folks. This is about full-fledged, unbridled power and the grab for it. There\u2019s not even a pretense here. What do you mean all of these executive orders or threatened executive orders without Congress. This is all about wiping out any and all opposition. And that has been Obama\u2019s modus operandi since he got into politics. The old honor code and the rule of law and all of these guidelines that everybody\u2019s abided by in the political sense, where you abide by the vote, campaign fairly, all out the window. <\/p>\n

This is about wiping out the Republican Party. This is about wiping out the Libertarians. This is about wiping out anybody who opposes Obama. Every bit of this. This isn\u2019t Al Sharpton. This isn\u2019t Jesse Jackson. They\u2019re just tag-alongs now. This is Obama and Holder. But all of this is Barack Obama. Every event, every detail, every occurrence is Obama. And the end result is the end and absence of any opposition. So that\u2019s what Ferguson\u2019s all about, like all the rest of this has been about.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just cleared a story. It\u2019s from the CNBC website<\/a>, and it\u2019s by somebody named Ben White. Doesn\u2019t matter who it\u2019s by. “Why is Obama Disconnected, Directionless?” He\u2019s not! This is exactly — let me tell you. I\u2019ve got a theory. Everybody talks about why is Obama going on so many vacations? To get headlines like this. To make it look like he\u2019s detached.<\/p>\n

How many stories have you seen, “You know what, Obama\u2019s checked out. He doesn\u2019t like the job anymore. He knows he\u2019s gone. He doesn\u2019t care. He\u2019s on vacation all the time. He just doesn\u2019t care.” How many stories like that are you seeing? A lot. Its exactly what they want you to see. Why does he go on so many vacations? To make it look like he is, what, disconnected, directionless, detached. It makes it look like he\u2019s irritated to have to deal with this stuff. That\u2019s why they say, “Ah, you know, he\u2019s so far ahead of all of us. This stuff is just so beneath him.” <\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why he takes so many vacations. I\u2019m convinced he takes so many vacations to further this notion that he doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s going on, he doesn\u2019t care. He\u2019s not responsible. And he is responsible for all of this, folks, and all of this is about the elimination of any opposition, and I mean the wiping out of the Republican Party as a functioning, threatening opposition. That is the objective. <\/p>\n

By the way, that\u2019s not just Obama. That\u2019s been the left. They are power mad. They are statists. You think there was opposition to the Soviet Union? You think Mao Tse-tung had opposition, the Gang of Eight, what happened to them, including Madam Mao? Slit throat, adios, see you, sayonara. I mean, they don\u2019t put up with it. I\u2019m convinced that all of these vacations and all of these stories about being bored and detached and disconnected and, “Gosh, why doesn\u2019t Obama care?” The black community\u2019s asking this all day long, every day. Something pops up that affects them, “Why doesn\u2019t Obama care?” <\/p>\n

He\u2019s in charge of all this. I think that it is a structured strategy, well conceived, brilliantly executed strategy for all of this crap to be happening in this country for six years. And here\u2019s the Limbaugh Theorem: he doesn\u2019t appear to have anything to do with it. He\u2019s always out campaigning against it, in fact. He\u2019s against what\u2019s happening in the job market. He\u2019s opposed to what\u2019s happening here and there. He\u2019s mad about what happened in Benghazi, and what image is created? He\u2019s got nothing to do with it. Poor guy. And I\u2019m telling you, that\u2019s not who he is. This guy is a hands-on, steer-the-ship, send-the-orders — he doesn\u2019t have to send orders. He\u2019s got people that know what they\u2019re supposed to do. All these vacations, same thing. Make it look like he\u2019s not even there. Plausible deniability. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s like the way the Clintons did it back in the nineties. Bill was made to look like the good old boy, moderate, middle-of-the-roader, while Hillary was just baking cookies and maybe diddling and dabbling with health care here and there. But she was the one that was the real strident liberal. She was the one finding all the cabinet people, while Bill got away appearing like this good old boy, yuk yuk (imitating Bill), “Hey, where\u2019s the next broad ball game, guys, where do we sign up?” When in fact he\u2019s every bit what Obama was. All of this is for public consumption. All of this is PR, buzz, show, whatever you want to say, image. <\/p>\n

Do you think if Barack Obama came out and said that his objective is to eliminate the Republican Party, if he came out and honestly said, “I don\u2019t want any opposition. I want total control of this country. I don\u2019t want anybody being able to stop me. I don\u2019t want anybody being able to tell me what I can\u2019t do. I\u2019m gonna do whatever I want to do whenever and to hell with the Constitution.” You think he would be elected? No way. So how do you do that? How do you get away with doing that while everybody\u2019s looking? You go on vacation all the time. You act like you\u2019re opposed to what\u2019s going on. You act like you don\u2019t even care. But then when all of this stuff happens, nobody gets fired?<\/line><\/p>\n

Rogue agents in Cincinnati denying the Tea Party constitutional rights, nobody got fired. Nobody got fired at all in the Trayvon Martin circumstance. Well, the NBC guy that edited the 911 call got reassigned. Nobody gets fired. They just get hidden somewhere else once their cover has been blown. That\u2019s the way to look at the modern left, the modern Democrat Party and all of their agencies, including the big one, the mainstream media. <\/p>\n

During the break, okay, it\u2019s time I made this point, building off the last call. I show up here, I checked the e-mail, and, lo and behold, there\u2019s this CNBC story. “Why is Obama Disconnected, Directionless?” It\u2019s made to order. Makes my point. After Obama\u2019s press conference yesterday — well, whatever it was. I didn\u2019t watch it. I had a couple people send me notes about it. I said, “I don\u2019t need to see it, I don\u2019t care.” So whatever it was, I\u2019ve got sound bites, they\u2019re coming up. But there\u2019s a whole Twitter feed from black Americans angry at Obama for not doing anything for them vis-a-vis Ferguson. Made to order. Black Americans all upset \u2019cause Obama doesn\u2019t care. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, look at everything that is happening in this country. Look at the economy. Look at the efforts to silence the Tea Party fundraising operation. Look at the character assassination of all four Republican presidential nominees, or four of them, all have on their resumes, either criminal charges, criminal investigations, and after today, a criminal indictment for Rick Perry. And I could go on. Health care. Look at, “You can keep your doctor.” No, you can\u2019t. “You can keep your plan.” No, you can\u2019t. “Sign up at HealthCare.gov.” It\u2019s an absolute disaster. Somehow Barack Obama is not linked to it. <\/p>\n

What do you think of all these stories (imitating Obama), “Hey, you know what? I found about that just like you did, when I read the paper.” Oh, really? You really want us to believe you don\u2019t know anything going on until you read the paper? To me, it is prima facie evidence of my point, that the structured strategy here is to portray Obama as aloof, disinterested, not engaged, not caring, having to be dragged kicking and screaming to every press conference, dragged kicking and screaming to make a statement on this or that. Yeah, because, you know, Obama\u2019s so much smarter than all the rest of us. This just bores him. It\u2019s so beneath. He\u2019s tired of the job. <\/p>\n

I saw a story Sunday or Monday, headline: “Obama Has Checked Out.” It was a leftist. And they\u2019re just assuming, ah, Obama\u2019s tired, he\u2019s bored, two years to go, finished, doesn\u2019t care anymore, it\u2019s over with. ‘Cause everybody\u2019s looking now at 2016, so he\u2019s no longer in the spotlight. He just wants to go on vacation. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And nothing could be further from the truth. This guy has two years, and his Regime has just now begun. You can argue that Ferguson is act one of what is being called this lame duck business. <\/p>\n

So stop and think about it. You know how the Drive-Bys create misdirection? You know how they do things to try to distract you? Some big scandal happening over there. Something else happens over here to take your attention away from it, your mind off of it, while that over there continues to happen while nobody\u2019s looking anymore. ‘Cause everybody gets so emotionally revved up over what they\u2019re telling us about day to day, the daily soap opera. It\u2019s designed to have one crisis after another, every one of them Obama knows nothing about; every one of them he\u2019s terribly worried about; every one of them he\u2019s desperate to fix. He\u2019ll have a White House summit, maybe two if he really cares, but that\u2019s it. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, this is all… I\u2019m still answering the question our first caller had. He asked me, you know, “How long are Sharpton and Jackson gonna get away with this kind of stuff they\u2019re doing in Ferguson?” It\u2019s not Sharpton and Jackson. Sharpton and Jackson are has-beens. I mean, next to Obama, these people are not even AAA. Sharpton and Jackson are just caricatures now. They\u2019re filling a role that…<\/p>\n

You know, they\u2019re providing a link to the glory days of the sixties civil rights movement, but this is all Barack Obama. And it\u2019s all about securing his number one objective. It was Scarborough. That\u2019s right, it was Scarborough. I guess he was on some show, some Sunday show, and Scarborough said, “Yeah, Obama\u2019s checked out.” Washington Post\u2019s the Insiders: “Is Obama Acting Like a Former President?”<\/p>\n

National Review Online<\/a>: “The President of the United States is Completely Checked Out.” UK Telegraph<\/a>: “Barack Obama Has Already Checked Out of His Job.” MarketWatch.com<\/a>: “Right and Left Finally Agree: Obama Has Checked Out.” No, he hasn\u2019t. Obama is front and center pulling every string, directing every movement of his administration. He is calling every shot. And, remember, a lot of them he doesn\u2019t have to verbalize. <\/line><\/p>\n

He\u2019s got people in position who will do what he wants done because they are him. Leftists are singularly alike, and they have singular objectives. The problem is trying to convince people of them. They sound so outrageous, most people will never believe any of it. They furthermore wouldn\u2019t believe they elected somebody like this; so whoever says things like this, like me, has gotta be a nut. “Pat Caddell<\/a>: Obama ‘Has Checked Out as Being President.'”<\/p>\n

Nope. What\u2019s happening here is Obama is leading from behind. Obama is calling all the shots while everybody thinks he\u2019s on vacation, while everybody thinks he doesn\u2019t care. That\u2019s how he gets away with it, folks. The simple, easiest, best way to get away with all this is to convince people he doesn\u2019t even care. <\/p>\n

I gotta take a brief time-out. We\u2019ll do that, get back to your phone calls and a lot of really, really instructive audio sound bites today, if I can find the discipline to start squeezing some of them in.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Gus, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Hi, Gus. Glad you waited. Great to have you on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good afternoon. How are you?<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: My theory is that I think Obama is very depressed. I think he is just checked out, really. I don\u2019t agree with you. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s in control anymore. I think he goes out on these trips, has all these people with him to build his ego up, and I think he\u2019s totally beaten down by the inside Beltway. He can\u2019t deal with Congress, and I just think he is just depressed and can\u2019t wait to get out of office. That\u2019s in my opinion.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What makes you think that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Just looking at the man. I\u2019m not a psychiatrist. I\u2019m not a whatever. I live in Maryland, you know, and here you see him on television all the time and you look at his picture. You look at his face, and it\u2019s just… You look at what he looked like when he first came into office, and just compare. He looks drawn. He looks beaten. His hair is turning gray.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But that happens to every president.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think he\u2019s checked out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Happens to every president. Happened to Clinton, too. In fact, it started happening so soon with Clinton he just went ahead and colored his hair grayer.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s what I\u2019m saying. I think he is depressed. I think he\u2019s probably bipolar and he has highs and lows, and he\u2019s having more lows than highs and he has to go out and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tell me what\u2019s not going his way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: A lot.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What?<\/p>\n

CALLER: The Supreme Court overturned stuff on Obamacare. Everything he puts in place, executive orders that turn to crap. HHS issued all these rules that are going down the tubes. I\u2019m a small business owner. I got impacted with all this insurance crap and everything that\u2019s happened, and I just think that he just can\u2019t take being overturned, being overruled. And I just think he\u2019s very, very depressed. That\u2019s my own opinion.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you could be right. I don\u2019t happen to think so. You\u2019re right that he has been unanimously rejected, 13 or 14 times at the Supreme Court. But I think it just makes him mad. I don\u2019t think it defeats him. I don\u2019t think his reaction is, “Ah, to hell with it. You know what? I don\u2019t like this job. I want to go somewhere else.” I just don\u2019t take it that way. But even if let\u2019s say, Gus, that you are right. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say that every bit of your interpretation\u2019s right, Obama\u2019s just fed up, can\u2019t get it done as fast as he wants, is depressed. So he goes on vacation to get away from it and so forth. The people working for him are not depressed, and the people working for him have not phoned it in and are not phoning it in, and the people working for him have not given up, and the people working for him are not going on vacation.<\/p>\n

The people working for him are doing every bit what he wants \u2019em to do. Now, he may have had grandiose designs that he would get all that he wanted done in the first term. He may have envisioned a full-fledged wipeout of the Republican Party. He may have envisioned massive success with Obamacare, and it may well be that he could not have anticipated any of these problems. It could well be that he\u2019s so stupid that he doesn\u2019t know that his ideas will never work. <\/p>\n

It could well be that he\u2019s just now realizing how stupid he is and how wrong he is, that socialism doesn\u2019t work. It could well be that he\u2019s just checked out. But the people working for him haven\u2019t. The media hasn\u2019t checked out. Eric Holder hasn\u2019t checked out. What\u2019s her name, Valerie Jarrett, hasn\u2019t checked out the. And I actually don\u2019t think he has, either. To stick with my original interpretation of this, I think the Limbaugh Theorem is a good explanation for how he gets away with this kind of stuff. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I\u2019m glad you called, Gus. I really appreciate it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
