<\/p>\nRUSH: We start in St. Louis. This is Lissa. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thanks so much. Listen, as far as what Obama said about successful people, it wasn\u2019t just what he said, which was absolutely adolescent, I mean it was just an absolute adolescent thing to say, it was the tone. His tone was so snarky and condescending.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Hateful.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It absolutely was. I mean, it came through so loud and clear. And, you know, when I say his thinking is adolescent, it\u2019s like, after I heard it, I wanted to go, “Well, duh.” He sounded like a 13-year-old. Of course every generation stands on the shoulders of the generation before. Every civilization on the civilization before. I mean, yes, we are all beholden to the guy that invented the wheel. But, you know, what I think he\u2019s trying to do is erase in our culture that independent streak that we have. There\u2019s a part of me that thinks we\u2019re all gonna be walking around in Mao jackets at some point. I mean he wants to take away —<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Individuality.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. Yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: The government is going to be the source of everything.<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Government\u2019s gonna get the credit. It will never get the blame, by the way, but it will always get the credit. He wants everybody looking to government for anything. He wants everybody thanking government for making anything in their lives that\u2019s worthwhile happen. He wants government getting thanks for that. But there\u2019s something else going on here, too, and I want to reiterate it. Obama cannot wait to raise taxes to confiscatory levels, and he wants to have support for this. What better way of ginning up that support than to go out and talk to college kids who haven\u2019t had a chance to succeed or fail yet, but there\u2019s no job market for \u2019em. They\u2019re looking at student debt that\u2019s insurmountable. <\/p>\n
The idea of success and creating wealth is something that depresses them. So there comes Obama delegitimizing all the success that\u2019s out there, all the successful people, other than the people that donate to him. He\u2019s out there trying to stigmatize as much achievement and success as possible by telling his audiences that those people couldn\u2019t have done it without you. They didn\u2019t do anything on their own. As he says, you got a business, you didn\u2019t build that, somebody else made that happen. Not somebody helped you, not somebody assisted, somebody else made it happen. And he said it, you\u2019re right, with this contemptuous, condescending, snarky attitude with resentment and supreme intense dislike for these people.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n
RUSH: So then when it comes to time to raise taxes to confiscate their wealth, look at the people that are gonna support him, because he\u2019s already told them, “Hey, it\u2019s only fair to take money away from them. They shouldn\u2019t have it in the first place.” So that\u2019s also part of this.<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s exactly right. I mean, you know, it\u2019s easy to be average. Most people are. It\u2019s hard to be successful. It\u2019s hard work to be successful. To make the choices that you have to make to be successful is really tough.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, get used to the new world. The new world is that there is valor in being average. There\u2019s valor in having not achieved anything, because that makes you a victim. And there is honor, there are excuses, there\u2019s explanations in being a victim. If you\u2019re a victim, then you can blame somebody else, and who better than the president to support you? Who better than the president say, “Yeah, you know, you\u2019re right. You coulda been somebody except these other people are a bunch of cheaters and liars and they stole it all from you. But I\u2019m here, I\u2019m here to get it back for you.” So there\u2019s now gonna be a stigma to achievement. There\u2019s gonna be an air of suspicion about it, officially, from the White House down. And there will be almost an honor or a sense of valor in being average because you fought the good fight, but you lost to a bunch of reprobate cheaters.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is Patty, Naugatuck, Connecticut. Welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Great to speak to you, and thank you for taking my call, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You bet. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You had talked about, you know, what would be a way around getting out a political ad that is nothing but complimentary and get your point across. I have a thought. It\u2019s a three-part thought. There was a recent interview with Charles Krauthammer, and he had described the great respect and admiration for Romney and Bain Capital<\/a>, of which he concluded in there that Romney, he doesn\u2019t have any skeletons in the closet. In fact, he doesn\u2019t have a closet. And then administrate middle of the interview, you could put people, real people who have had jobs, prosperity due to the intervention of Romney and Bain Capital through maybe Staples and other companies that Bain Capital have gone in and restructured so that there was success. <\/p>\n
