His name was Jason Rae. He\u2019s a Wisconsin superdelegate. He was &#8216;taken out to breakfast by Chelsea Clinton in the run-up to that state\u2019s Democratic primary. Two days after the vote, the college junior &#8212; who will be the youngest superdelegate at this year\u2019s Democratic National Convention &#8212; is undecided no longer: he\u2019s backing Barack Obama. &#8216;The Democratic Party is fortunate to have two very talented individuals running for President this election,\u2019 said Rae in a statement released by the Obama campaign Thursday. &#8216;It is a difficult choice for anyone, but in the end, the choice for me has become clear. I am proudly supporting Senator Barack Obama.\u2019 He cited Obama\u2019s support from an overwhelming majority of young voters as the major reason for his decision.\u2019 Now, I don\u2019t know if this story I\u2019m about to tell you is instructive, if it\u2019s illustrative or not, but I saw this this week in one of my show prep stacks and I didn\u2019t get to it, it was about a young Obama supporter just as excited as she could be, typical of these Obama crowds that you see. She was from New Jersey, but she was in New York, and she got sick and she just wasn\u2019t able to get across the river and go vote for Obama. <\/p>\n<p>So you gotta wonder if the young vote\u2019s going to do a 180 this year and show up in greater numbers than they usually do. It was the Obama Girl, did all the commercials in the primary, &#8216;I\u2019m an Obama Girl,\u2019 and she didn\u2019t, when she had a chance to vote for the guy, she didn\u2019t, because she got sick. So we\u2019ll see if the yute vote actually shows up. You know, it\u2019s a striking contrast. It\u2019s so obvious. Mrs. Clinton cannot give a speech, when you contrast Obama out there and his rallies or whatever these things are to Mrs. Clinton, it\u2019s just so, so obvious, the glaring weaknesses of Mrs. Clinton and her campaign, charisma, lack of it, what have you. I mean, try this headline: &#8221;Even Blowing His Nose, Obama Gets Applause.\u2019 &#8212; It\u2019s probably safe to say that you have arrived as a politician when your audience applauds when you blow your nose. Yes, just a day before a debate in Texas, Sen. Barack Obama had a head cold. And about a half-hour into a speech here, the Illinois Democrat announced that he had to take a quick break. &#8216;Gotta blow my nose here for a second,\u2019 Obama said. Out came a Kleenex (or perhaps it was a hankie), and he wiped his nose. The near-capacity audience at the Reunion Arena, which his campaign said totaled 17,000, broke out in a slightly awkward applause,\u2019 when he blew his nose. Will that handkerchief be for sale on eBay, is the real question. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"267\" class=\"alignright\"\/>This is from the Times Online, the UK Times Online, a blog, I believe. It\u2019s called &#8221;Clinton\u2019s Spin Machine: Spun Dry\u2019 &#8212; Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton for the ninth and tenth straight time last night, with blowouts in Wisconsin and Hawaii.\u2019 Look, here\u2019s another: &#8216;Analysis: Clinton Could Turn Toxic as Options Dry Up.\u2019 I have noticed several stories that reference how dried up Hillary is. You know what I think is going on, something I called and something I predicted, and nobody will ever admit this, but I think what\u2019s going on here is ageism, folks. I really do. I predicted this. You can\u2019t avoid it, the contrast of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in these headlines, &#8216;Analysis: Clinton Could Turn Toxic as Options Dry Up.\u2019 &#8216;Clinton\u2019s Spin Machine: Spun Dry\u2019 These stories are just subtle ways of saying we just don\u2019t want to watch her melt. We just don\u2019t want to watch her melt. I mean that\u2019s what these stories are all about. <\/p>\n<p>Did you know she\u2019s in debt $7.6 million? From the New Republic: &#8216;For many weeks, a growing chorus of political observers have wondered why, exactly, Hillary Clinton hadn\u2019t fired the architect of her thus far woefully unsuccessful strategy, Mark Penn. Politico.com at last supplies a perverse answer. She owes him too much money. Hillary Clinton ended January with $7.6 million in debt, not including the $5 million personal loan she gave to her campaign in the run-up to Super Tuesday. More than $2 million of the red ink is owed to Mark Penn.\u2019 This is just another one of these stories, &#8216;Oh, what\u2019s wrong with the Hillary campaign?\u2019 &#8216;Well, it\u2019s a bad strategy from Mark Penn. And Howard Wolfson, he\u2019s not a pretty good spokesman. He looks old and worn out in there, all these old Clinton people.\u2019 It\u2019s her, and none of them just want to say it. It is the candidate. <\/p>\n<p> Lisa Lerer, Politico.com: &#8221;Obamamania verges on obsession\u2019 &#8212; Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings has held elected office for more than a quarter-century, so he\u2019s seen his fair share of politicians come and go. But apparently he\u2019s never seen one quite like Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. &#8216;This is not a campaign for president of the United States, this is a movement to change the world,\u2019 he said as he introduced Obama last week in Baltimore. &#8216;You do not get 13,000 people in this auditorium with a campaign.&#8221; George Clooney, who makes Bill Press look like Einstein, said, &#8216;He walks into a room and you want to follow him somewhere, anywhere.\u2019 Actress Halle Berry said to the Philadelphia Daily News, &#8216;I\u2019ll do whatever he says to do. I\u2019ll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear.\u2019 That\u2019s what she said. It\u2019s what she said. It\u2019s right here in the ThePolitico.com. &#8216;I\u2019ll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear.\u2019 Yeah, it\u2019s fascinating to watch this, folks. We\u2019ll see where it goes. It\u2019s clear there are a lot of factors tied up in support for Obama, but very few of them have anything to do with substance. Speaking of the Obamas, Michelle Obama is on her clarification tour. She took some heat here for saying this is the first time she\u2019s been proud of her country. WJAR television Providence, reporter Bill Rappleye interviewed Michelle Obama, and he said, &#8216;You want to clarify those remarks of yours?\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"255\" class=\"alignleft\"\/>MICHELLE OBAMA: Yeah, I think it\u2019s, you know, the clarification has been made. What I was clearly talking about was that I\u2019m proud in how Americans are engaging in the political process. I mean, everybody has said what I said, which is we haven\u2019t seen these record numbers of turnouts, people who are paying attention, going to rallies, watching the debates. I mean, for the first time in my lifetime I\u2019m seeing people rolling up their sleeves in a way that I haven\u2019t seen and really trying to figure this out. And that\u2019s the source of pride that I was talking about.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How old is Michelle Obama? Is she in her forties? Okay. So that would mean that in the nineties, Michelle Obama was an adult, right? If I\u2019m Hillary Clinton, I have to be seething, because the Clintons think that they were in the nineties what Obama is today, people stuffing envelopes and attending rallies and going bonkers and cheering and so forth and so on, and Michelle Obama has just dissed the Clinton nineties, which for the longest time defined the Democrat Party. The next question from the reporter Bill Rappleye, &#8216;Have you always been proud of America when we abandoned the people in Rwanda, the disparity between the rich and the poor?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>MICHELLE OBAMA: We\u2019ve got work to do. But you don\u2019t run for president of the United States and put yourself and your family through this if you don\u2019t feel some level of deep pride and possibility for your country. That\u2019s pretty much all I can say is I love my country. I wouldn\u2019t be in this if I didn\u2019t care deeply and didn\u2019t believe that the kind of possibility that I had as a kid should be available for every single child, and it shouldn\u2019t be up to luck or based on race or gender or political affiliation, and I think people in this country know that, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re hungry for something different.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So she wouldn\u2019t be in there, she wouldn\u2019t be doing this, she wouldn\u2019t be doing all of that if she didn\u2019t care deeply. Obviously felt the need to go out there and do the clarification tour on being proud of her country for the first time in her life. One more, Beaumont, Texas, yesterday, at a Hillary campaign event, Bill Clinton spoke. Very quick, just nine seconds, here\u2019s what he said.<\/p>\n<p>CLINTON: If she wins in Texas and Ohio, I think she\u2019ll be the nominee. If you don\u2019t deliver for her, I don\u2019t think she can be. It\u2019s all on you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: She\u2019s toast. It\u2019s Texas and Ohio or bust, this from Bill Clinton. So once again, points the finger at the voters: (doing Clinton impression) &#8216;It\u2019s all on you, it\u2019s all on you. It\u2019s not up to Hillary to get your vote, okay? She deserves your vote. I mean, she\u2019s owed your vote. It\u2019s up to you. Get out there and support her, and we are going to be watching.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The news just continues to pile up, and it\u2019s not good for Mrs. Clinton. &#8216;Major organized labor endorsements continue to be delivered to Sen. Barack Obama, with union leaders increasingly sending signals that they believe the time is rapidly approaching for Sen. Hillary Clinton to exit the Democratic nomination race. &#8216;We do think it is time to bring this nomination process to a close,\u2019 said Anna Burger, chair of Change to Win, an umbrella group that represents seven unions with 6 million members. Burger made the comment during a conference call with reporters to announce the group\u2019s endorsement for Obama. &#8216;There is certainly a movement blowing here,\u2019 she said, adding that it may be time for Clinton to &#8216;recognize\u2019 that Obama is benefiting from that desire for change.\u2019 Who woulda thunk this? I know it\u2019s unions in Texas, but who in the world would have thunk this? That we\u2019ve actually got union organizers and leaders suggesting to Mrs. Clinton that she scram. <\/p>\n<p>Stan in Bristle, Virginia, Stan, welcome to the program, nice to have you with us, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, prophet, how you doing?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Good, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Listen, I could have sworn I just heard Michelle Obama say she wanted kids today to have the same opportunities she had.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: When she was a kid. Let\u2019s go back. That puts her right about the Reagan administration, if I\u2019m not wrong.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, it\u2019s gotta be something like that. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it\u2019s a good point you\u2019re making out there.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, she\u2019s stumping for conservatism, is what I\u2019m getting at, and as part of the McCain show prep, you know, we gotta do what we can for the boy. That\u2019s all we can do. That\u2019s all we can do, brother, is tell the truth. She was a kid when Reagan was around. She had all kinds of opportunities, what was going on?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, where did those opportunities emanate from, a Republican administration. That obviously is the point that you\u2019re making.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: She needs to go home and be quiet.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, the thing is, there are more opportunities today than there were when she was growing up. This is the point that I keep trying to make to people day in and day out when they keep hearing about how rotten the economy is. By the way, did you hear about the unemployment numbers? Unexpectedly, the unemployment numbers dropped, ladies and gentlemen! A big drop. We\u2019re at 4.9% unemployment. We\u2019re supposedly heading into a recession. The thing that somebody should tell Michelle Obama, this is what the Democrats and media are trying to make you think, that back when they grew up, back when Barry and Michelle were just little apples in their parents\u2019 eyes, there\u2019s is wondrous opportunity in this country, and of course Stan\u2019s point is, when was that? The Reagan years. We\u2019re not supposed to reference that. Now all of a sudden the country\u2019s gone to hell in a handbasket, Michelle and Barry went to Harvard, yeah, wherever the hell they went, Ivy League schools, he\u2019s a senator, she was working for some hospital group, their millionaires, nice house, but somehow something\u2019s gone wrong &#8212; must have happened in the nineties for us to lose all this ground, for there to be no opportunity. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more opportunity than there was yesterday. There\u2019s more opportunity yesterday than there was a week ago. There\u2019s more opportunity today than there was in the 1980s. This is the United States of America. As long as we continue to be devoted to the free market capitalist system, there will continue to be more opportunity each and every day. Every day in America is better than the day before. I\u2019m not doing an Obama on you here and uttering little platitudes, but they\u2019re out trying to make you think that the salad days are behind us, &#8216;Oh, woe, we\u2019ve got ours, and we feel so bad, Barack and I, we got ours, we got everything, and I want my kids to have the same chance.\u2019 They\u2019ll have more a chance than you did, Michelle. What they do with it is another thing, but it\u2019s still going to be the case. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You remember that 21-year-old superdelegate that was wined and dined by Chelsea Clinton?
