Don\u2019t think Obama hasn\u2019t noticed this.  What it means? It only means what it means for France.  It\u2019s impossible to extrapolate this, unless you want to say that we\u2019ve become France. And if we have become France&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_62116\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sarkozy2012Election.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I don\u2019t think we\u2019re there yet, but this guy promised to raise taxes on the top 1% by 75%, a millionaires tax or what have you, and everybody went for it. He\u2019s only the second avowed socialist ever elected in French history.  The first was Mitterrand in the eighties.  They said &#8220;no&#8221; to austerity. They said, &#8220;We\u2019re not gonna cut back government. We\u2019re not gonna cut spending. We\u2019re not! No, no, no.  I want my goodies; I want my benefits.&#8221;  The French rich are leaving the country, Snerdley.  There are accompanying stories about the French elite, the wealthy elite making plans to go to Great Britain. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know how wise that is. (chuckling) No, there are stories. I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s gonna be a genuine Exodus out of France among these targets, but they clearly are targets, and there are more people&#8230; Look, you have perpetual unemployment of 14%. And I don\u2019t know if they doctor their numbers like Obama does here. But, if they do, unemployment in France is higher than 14%. But the thing is, it\u2019s constant.  Whatever the number is in France, that unemployment number is constant.  It\u2019s accepted. It is the norm.<\/p>\n<p>And there are more people on the take than there are producing, and those people turned out in greater numbers.  And don\u2019t think Obama\u2019s not noticing that.  Now, Obama went out&#8230; I don\u2019t know if it means anything for the United States, folks. And anybody who tells you that they do know what it means for our election is engaging in wishful thinking.  There\u2019s no way anybody can extrapolate.  To the extent that we are France, I\u2019ve never heard that connection made.  It would have to be made for there to be some relationship to the French electorate and ours. <\/p>\n<p>And I don\u2019t think there is much.  But we\u2019re trending that direction. There\u2019s no question about that.  And the same thing&#8230; Where else was it that they said they didn\u2019t want austerity? Was it Germany?  What was the other country? I\u2019m having a mental block.  There were two elections.  Merkel is holding steady&#8230; No, maybe Greece.  I forget which.  But regardless&#8230; Yeah, it\u2019s Greece.  We all knew this was coming.  We all suspected that it was coming, that when you have more takers, they\u2019re gonna continue to vote for it. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not prepared to start working. <\/p>\n<p>They haven\u2019t been working; they\u2019re not prepared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: So a lot of people are asking me, &#8220;What does this mean, the election of the avowed socialist in France, Monsieur Hollande?
