We have the audio sound bite. Listen to this. Obama threw his grandmother under the bus at the speech on Tuesday. Then yesterday, he put the bus in reverse and ran over her.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: The point I was making was not that my grandmother, uh, harbors, uh, any racial animosity. She doesn\u2019t, but she is a, uh, typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn\u2019t know, you know, there\u2019s a reaction that\u2019s been bred into our experiences that &#8212; that don\u2019t go away, and that sometimes, uh, come out in &#8212; in the wrong way.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8216;Typical white person\u2019? What does this reveal, finally, about Obama. He is not transcendent on race. Obama is telling us that he is a black-American first, and an American second. Typical? His grandmother who raised him is a &#8216;typical white woman\u2019? And that these kinds of inordinate fears are bred? I have a question. I wonder how white college students at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill are feeling these days? I wonder if they are nervous walking down the street when they see a couple of black boys dressed in baggy clothes with their hats on backwards swaggering toward them. I wonder how they feel. I wonder if it makes them fear that they\u2019re going to be shot in the face for their ATM cards and their PIN numbers. Obama, do you think there might be reasons here rather than this being inbred? Typical white woman? Obama has exposed himself, and that\u2019s why, ladies and gentlemen, Passportgate is such a welcome arrival for both Obama and the Drive-By Media. If he\u2019ll say this about his grandmother&#8230;? He says this about his grandmother, and he excuses that locoweed pastor! By the way, everybody\u2019s asking, &#8216;Where is Reverend Wright?\u2019 Well, Reverend Wright\u2019s out there on a cruise. We don\u2019t know where, but he\u2019s on a cruise.<\/p>\n<p>Reverend Wright, we\u2019re told, needed to take a vacation. Somebody at Reverend Wright\u2019s church sent a photo of Reverend Wright talking with President Clinton in the White House on September 11, 1998. There was a prayer breakfast. Clinton had a bunch of clergy in there to finally fess up to the Lewinsky stuff because the Starr Report was coming out. This picture is in the New York Times today, complete with a thank-you note that Clinton sent to Jeremiah Wright in October after the September 11th date, and this is the meeting where Clinton said (doing Clinton impression), &#8216;I have sinned before you. I have never been at a lower point and I\u2019m so happy you\u2019ve come.\u2019 It was a dog-and-pony show to repair the breach. There was a whole bunch of people there. Reverend Wright was one; they\u2019ve got this picture. This isn\u2019t the same thing. The Obama camp released this. This isn\u2019t the same thing. In order for this to have any impact at all, somebody is going to have to place Clinton in Reverend Wright\u2019s church, which, I mean, if this church is that big and Clinton ran for office in \u201992 and in \u201996, somebody might come up with a picture of Clinton in that church.<\/p>\n<p>You never know. I guarantee you somebody is looking for it. You know, when you\u2019re running for the Democrat Party nomination &#8212; well, if you\u2019re running for president as a Democrat &#8212; you gotta go to Chicago, and this a huge church, 4500 people, but so far this little picture in the New York Times&#8230; The Obama camp is doing everything they can to sweep this off the front page and change the subject, which they\u2019ve done now with Passportgate. I\u2019m thinking of telling the State Department to release my passport files. There\u2019s nothing in them. There\u2019s nothing in them, just your Social Security number and identifying data, but I have LifeLock. So if somebody\u2019s going to get my Social Security number, they\u2019re not going to be able to use it for anything. So this is much ado about nothing. They had a big investigation over this of Bill Clinton back in 1992, because people were trying to find out&#8230; The rumor then was Clinton was thinking of denouncing or renouncing his citizenship during the Vietnam War era, and there were rumors of traveling to the Soviet Union and participating in protests there. People wanted to see if he had been. I don\u2019t know that these particular records that were looked at today by these contract employees will tell you that.<\/p>\n<p>Obama, the reason people are interested in this, chairs a subcommittee on foreign affairs in Europe, and he\u2019s never had a meeting. He\u2019s never chaired the meeting, never chaired the committee, never called the committee to order. He says he\u2019s traveled all over Europe and has extensive experience, but he\u2019s never said where. So looks like it\u2019s got the Clinton fingerprints all over it until the Clintons say, &#8216;By the way, our passport was looked into, too.\u2019 (laughter) Exactly right. My gosh, folks, even though it\u2019s Open Line Friday, this stuff just keeps pouring out. We have to come to the rescue each and every day here.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: How about Obama on the radio in Philadelphia?
