RUSH: From the Los Angeles Times: ‘They came to cheer. They got a lecture. The crowd went wild. During a Barack Obama town-hall meeting on the economy, the topic turned to education, which, the Illinois senator said, could not be remedied by spending alone. ‘It doesn\u2019t matter how much money we put in if parents don\u2019t parent,\u2019 he scolded. The line is one the Democrat delivers often, but on Thursday in Beaumont, Texas, he struck a remarkable chord with his mostly African American audience. ‘It\u2019s not good enough for you to say to your child, ‘Do good in school,\u2019 and then when that child comes home, you\u2019ve got the TV set on,\u2019 Obama lectured. ‘You\u2019ve got the radio on. You don\u2019t check their homework. There\u2019s not a book in the house. You\u2019ve got the video game playing.\u2019 Each line was punctuated by a roar, and Obama began to shout, falling into a preacher\u2019s rhythm. ‘Am I right?\u2019<\/p>\n

‘So turn off the TV set. Put the video game away. Buy a little desk. Or put that child at the kitchen table. Watch them do their homework. If they don\u2019t know how to do it, give \u2019em help. If you don\u2019t know how to do it, call the teacher.\u2019 By now, the crowd of nearly 2,000 was lifted from the red velveteen seats of the Julie Rogers Theatre, hands raised to the gilded ceiling. ‘Make \u2019em go to bed at a reasonable time! Keep \u2019em off the streets! Give \u2019em some breakfast! Come on! Can I get an amen here?\u2019 Whooooooooooooooooo, went the crowd. ‘You know I\u2019m right,\u2019 Obama laughed. ‘And, since I\u2019m on a roll, if your child misbehaves in school, don\u2019t cuss out the teacher! You know I\u2019m right about that! Don\u2019t cuss out the teacher! Do something with your child!\u2019 Pandemonium. ‘All right, all right,\u2019 he finished, ‘settle down. We\u2019re having too much fun here. … I\u2019m speaking the truth!”<\/p>\n

So the crowd in Beaumont, Texas, went wild as Obama tells them basic information on child rearing. Give \u2019em some breakfast. Yay! As though it was a new concept; as though they couldn\u2019t think of this on their own. Wash your hands after using the bathroom. Yay! Don\u2019t stay out in the rain. Come in out of the rain. Yaaaay. Look both ways before crossing the street. Yaaay. One thing he didn\u2019t say was teach \u2019em how to get a job. But, look, I know some of you are thinking, ‘Rush, what\u2019s wrong with that advice? What in the world is wrong with that advice?\u2019 Doesn\u2019t it bother you, folks, that basic child rearing is being taught as part of a presidential campaign?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, when Michelle Obama starts slamming the hedge fund business, what prominent person that we all know is in the hedge fund business? Among many others, Chelsea Clinton is in the hedge fund business, ladies and gentlemen. As far as Obama\u2019s speech in Beaumont, Texas, don\u2019t misunderstand. I have no problem with that kind of instruction to kids or parents, you know, taking their responsibilities as parents seriously. But don\u2019t forget, Bill Cosby tried that same thing, and they practically ran him out of the race. They practically ran him out of the race. And Obama, I think, is plagiarizing me when he starts that little speech by saying, ‘We\u2019ve thrown enough money at this; it\u2019s time for you to get involved.\u2019 That\u2019s plagiarism of El Rushbo and conservatism. It\u2019s just, when I look at the fact that this is a movement and not a political campaign and that the attachment to Obama is based on faith, here you have people who have not the slightest idea. This is going to be really tough, folks. Here you have people haven\u2019t the slightest idea, apparently, how to raise their own kids; otherwise this kind of message would not be receiving standing ovations. (interruption)<\/p>\n

Now, Snerdley\u2019s frowning at me on this, but Mr. Snerdley, you know I am always two days ahead of things. I am always way ahead of things on this, and if you just take this for what it is… ‘Rush, how can you oppose it?\u2019 I\u2019m looking down the road. I\u2019m looking down the road at: How are we going to beat this guy, if he is building up this kind of faith attachment on this kind of thing? If the president of the United States is going to be elected by teaching people how to raise their kids, while at the same time making blunder, after blunder, after blunder when he opens his mouth about foreign policy; do you realize what that means? Canadian TV has got this story, and they\u2019re not going to reveal their source. There\u2019s some people denying this, but after the debate Tuesday night where both Clinton and Obama just trashed NAFTA. Apparently Clinton did, too — or Obama, called some people in Canada and said, ‘We\u2019re not going to mess with the relationship we have with you regarding NAFTA, it\u2019s just politics. It\u2019s just politics. I just have to say this kind of thing. You know, I\u2019m in a primary campaign, I got a lot of people don\u2019t like NAFTA.\u2019<\/p>\n

Now, Canadian officials are denying it, and Obama is denying it, but the CTV network is standing by the story. Don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s true or not, but it\u2019s something that\u2019s totally unbelievable. These are people who will tell their audience anything, say whatever in order to get votes, win an election, and so forth, and then revert to form afterwards. I mean, the idea that these guys are going to do anything about NAFTA is ridiculous. It\u2019s just not going to happen. Mrs. Clinton can sit there and say, ‘I\u2019m going to renegotiate it on more favorable terms and so forth.\u2019 It\u2019s all BS. It\u2019s literal BS. But they\u2019re in Ohio, and there\u2019s people in Ohio and Zanesville and other places, Youngstown, that they\u2019re trying to make out like ghost towns, who want to blame NAFTA for this. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
