I mentioned this in the third hour of the program, but I want to mention it again just as an overall explanation of Obama and Obamaism. For the past couple of years max, maybe past year and a half, Obama&#8230; And he started this at a speech in Osawatomie, Kansas, on an anniversary of a speech given at the same place by Winston Churchill.<\/p>\n<p>And he went out in that speech and basically said that the nation, as founded, had never worked; that this &#8220;you\u2019re on your own&#8221; economy has never worked. And, by that, he means capitalism. By that, he means rugged individualism, self-reliance. That\u2019s never worked. Obama\u2019s point, ladies and gentlemen, is that the founding of the country was unjust and immoral economically, that it was set up by the equivalent (in those days) of today\u2019s 1%: a bunch of really exclusive, elite, wealthy, old white guys. And they set up this country so as to ensure their own wealth and prosperity while denying opportunities to others. And the way they did it was with this social Darwinism. This &#8220;you\u2019re on your own.&#8221; They knew that the vast majority of people couldn\u2019t take care of themselves. They knew&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_61251\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaVSAmerica.jpg\"\/><BR\/>This is Obama\u2019s thinking now. He\u2019s never said this, but I\u2019m telling you this is what\u2019s the foundation for his current campaign strategy at the root of his speeches. So it\u2019s never worked, by design, \u2019cause the founders are smart enough to know that the vast majority of people are not capable of fending for themselves. And they purposely set up a system where those people would suffer. And that\u2019s what happened! That\u2019s what Obama\u2019s trying to say: &#8220;It\u2019s never worked. This country has never worked. Capitalism, this &#8216;you\u2019re on your own\u2019 business has never worked, and it\u2019s all coming to a head now. It\u2019s finally showing itself as the recent failure it is now.&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>And he\u2019s on the scene, and he\u2019s inherited all of this. Not just from Bush, but he\u2019s inherited this mess from Reagan. He inherited this mess from every other president that carried on with this notion of &#8220;you\u2019re on your own&#8221; economics is fine and dandy. And it\u2019s gonna take a long time to fix it, because the problem has been the government hasn\u2019t been big enough and hasn\u2019t been compassionate enough, and so his policies now &#8212; and they\u2019re very young! I mean, the nation\u2019s over 200 years old; Obama\u2019s policies are barely three years old, in some cases not even that old. It\u2019s going to take a while. It\u2019s going to take a while to fix 200 years of abject mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>And his policies are designed to do that. His policies are going to finally provide the economic happiness, prosperity, whatever, for all Americans who have had it denied them by virtue of the founding of this country. The unfairness and the discrimination that existed for 200-plus years is now over. And Obama\u2019s in charge. And he\u2019s going to see to it that those people who rigged the system for themselves and their families 200-plus years ago now get taken care of. This is what is happening here. This is the long view. This is the view that this country is immorally founded, unjustly founded, that we\u2019ve only become wealthy because we\u2019ve stolen from every other nation around the world and all the other peoples.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time we found out what it\u2019s like.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also time for reparations, and not just in the racial sense.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s reparations for everybody who got screwed by virtue of the way the country was founded. And that\u2019s what Obama policies are all about. But you must understand that it\u2019s gonna take a long time, folks, to fix 200-plus years of embedded mistakes. His predecessors created this big mess, and finally he\u2019s here! It just so happens he needs four more years. And, by the way, after this election, like he told the Russians: All bets are off, \u2019cause he\u2019s gonna have much more flexibility. Where do you see &#8220;social Darwinism&#8221; around the world? Where do you see it? (interruption) That\u2019s exactly right, Mr. Snerdley. Snerdley on the ball today. Yesterday Snerdley was kind of halfway here, but today he\u2019s on the ball.<\/p>\n<p>You see social Darwinism in communist, socialist countries.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where you see dog-eat-dog societies.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s only in communist countries where they actually eat dog!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s dog-eat-dog! That\u2019s where the social Darwinism actually exists. There is no utopia. There is no panacea. It\u2019s not possible. Anyway, that\u2019s what is going on here. That\u2019s how to understand every speech Obama gives. That\u2019s how to understand every economic policy proposal he makes. If you understand what I just said you\u2019ll understand what he\u2019s doing &#8212; and you also ought to be scared to your wits\u2019 end about it. Because we really do have, as president of the United States, a man who believes this country was founded in a way that was manifestly unfair and unjust and immoral. And it\u2019s his job to fix it, and he\u2019s doing so with relish, by the way. Oh, he and his buddies love this. They love this opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Let me tell you what\u2019s going on.
