RUSH: Obama last night on The Late Show with Letterman. I still… With all this going on, the Middle East in flames <\/a>and our ambassador\u2019s dead, there\u2019s Obama yukking it up. He\u2019s talking about how much he weighs and he\u2019s talking about all that. It\u2019s really not presidential at all. It\u2019s Celebrity of the United States-type stuff, not president. Anyway, Letterman said, “Our ambassador and three others were killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi. Is that an act of war, Mr. President? Are we at war now? What happens here?”<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Here\u2019s what happened. Eh, eh… Y-y-you had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who — who is an extremely offensive —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Come on.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — video directed at — at Mohammed and Islam, making fun of the Prophet Mohammed. This caused great offence, uh, in much of the much of the Muslim world.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Come on. Stop this.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Uh, but what also happened —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop it! He\u2019s asked about Benghazi. That\u2019s Libya. Even the White House has now admitted this. Jay Carney has had to admit that this was a premeditated attack. It was planned days in advance. Obama doesn\u2019t even know what his own White House is saying, or maybe he does and doesn\u2019t care. But to blame this now on the “shadowy character”? Cue this bite back up to the top. “You had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character … extremely offensive video.”<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, folks. I meant to comment on this yesterday, and I just saw this guy\u2019s picture up on Fox. The Muslim Brotherhood guy, President Morsi. From day one after his election to the presidency of Egypt, he said his number one objective is to have the US release the blind sheik, Omar Abdel Rahman. And apparently there was a report a couple days ago that a deal had been struck to release Rahman back to the Egyptians after the election. Now, there\u2019s some denials that have gone back and forth.<\/p>\n

But do you want bet that if Obama wins, he does that? I guarantee you he\u2019ll do it. (interruption) You don\u2019t think so? You don\u2019t think he\u2019d return Omar Abdel Rahman after he wins the election when he has more “flexibility”? Of course he will! And he\u2019ll do it under the guise of furthering normalized relations with blah, blah, blah. It\u2019ll be just like the Brits, the Brit liberals who gave up the Libyan guy. There\u2019s no question, I don\u2019t think, that Obama will make that deal.<\/p>\n

Okay, here. Go back to audio sound bite 16. Play it again from the top.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Here\u2019s what happened. Eh, eh… Y-y-you had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who — who is an extremely offensive video directed at — at Mohammed and Islam, making fun of the Prophet Mohammed. This caused great offence, uh, in much of the much of the Muslim world. Uh, but what also happened was extremists and terrorists used this as an excuse to attack a variety of our embassies.<\/p>\n
