RUSH: President Obama this afternoon. He’s out in Chicago at Northwestern. He’s telling people the economy’s fine, you just don’t know it. It’s okay, you’re just not aware of it. He’s trying to tell you that whatever you think about the economy, it’s humming. But he also found it necessary to address ISIS and something else that I want you to hear. It’s a quick 20-second bite here.

OBAMA: It’s America, our troops, our diplomats, that lead the fight to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL. It’s America, our doctors, our scientists, our know-how that leads the fight to contain and combat the “Eboly” epidemic in West Africa.

RUSH: The what epidemic? Eboly? The Eboly epidemic in West Africa? Can you imagine if Sarah Palin had said that? Can you imagine Sarah Palin, “Yeah, we need to fight Eboly in West Africa, you betcha.” Can you imagine what they would do? (imitating Obama) “But we are in America, we got the best. Well, you think they’re the best, but they’re not. But that’s okay. We are leading with our diplomats. We lead the world in words and speeches and intentions, and we’re gonna wipe out Eboly.”

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I’ll tell you what I think we need to do. Following the president’s lead, we need to begin immediately in wiping out “Eboly” in all “57 states.” It’s time to get serious about it.
