RUSH: Now, a couple thoughts here. I meant to get into this yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, and events just superseded my intent. But I had a bunch of stories, and I talked about it on the margins yesterday, all these Drive-By Media stories, there was one Washington Post story mentioning Obama is black four or five times. There were three or four other Drive-By Media publications focusing on Obama\u2019s race and how what a great step this is for the United States of America, we\u2019ve passed a major milestone. It just is so wonderful and so forth. Interestingly, there\u2019s a story today from Reuters: ‘Black Americans savored Barack Obama\u2019s unprecedented victory in the Democratic race for U.S. president, but said on Wednesday the higher stakes raised the prospect of deep disappointment in November.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So Reuters has a story here on, ‘Wow, this is so wonderful, why, tonight we\u2019re on the inside, we have overcome the one obstacle in our face, racism, slavery, discrimination, and now, uh-oh, oh, no, what if we lose? Oh, no, we\u2019re going to be so disappointed if we lose.\u2019 They actually do a story on this. I\u2019m going to give you the details of this a little bit later as the program unfolds. But as I read all these stories, there\u2019s no question this is a major achievement. I\u2019m not bemoaning it at all. But there\u2019s nothing really new here. I mean you gotta win the election, yeah, but what we have here is a pure, unadulterated, undiluted liberal! That\u2019s what matters to me. Not anybody\u2019s race! After you go through the emotional realization that, yeah, for the first time ever, we\u2019ve got a pure, unadulterated, radical liberal that\u2019s been nominated by the Democrat Party. After a while you can see all the liberal white guilt throughout the Drive-By Media because they won\u2019t let the subject of Obama\u2019s race go. I mean they\u2019re making a huge fuss about this, being black, being African-American, biracial or whatever. But I have news for those of you in the Drive-Bys. If Obama wins the election, he would not be the first black president. And I\u2019m not talking about Bill Clinton and the phony baloney first black president bit. <\/p>\n

Thirteen years ago in 1995, Time Warner, Incorporated, inaugurated a black president, Dick Parsons. Eleven years ago, 1997, American Express inaugurated a black president, Ken Chenault. Seven years ago, Merrill Lynch inaugurated a black president, Stanley O\u2019Neal. Now, three of our greatest corporations, what the left calls greedy corporations, formally ended racism by elevating an African-American to the presidency. Now, you may know this and you may not know it. But these were incredible events, too. They didn\u2019t get that much news coverage, it didn\u2019t fit the media template or the action line or the talking points of the left because the Drive-By Media is so hell-bent on trashing America, on dwelling in the past, on inflaming racial confrontations, on elevating racial entrepreneurs that they underreported the real state of race in America. My point here — and I realize it might have offended you to say, hey, he\u2019s not the first black president. I did that to get your attention. The point is that the real state of race in this country continues to be underreported. We continue to hear that we are no different now than we were in 1965 and in prior years. There\u2019s just as much discrimination, there\u2019s just as much racism, and incidentally, there\u2019s just as much sexism and we\u2019re not making any progress whatsoever, and that\u2019s why Obama\u2019s nomination is being hailed as some great point that has never been reached, and in fact it has. <\/p>\n

Now, I understand the difference in a board of directors and a committee hiring somebody to be the CEO of a corporation and the votes of American citizens of a political party electing or nominating someone. I fully understand the difference. My primary point is that we have made so much progress in race relations in this country that people who are responsible for underreporting it or not reporting it, and the people who are responsible for continuing to try to keep this country roiled with racial strife are the very people who are now celebrating this wondrous event in the nomination of Obama, as though its only meaning is that he\u2019s black, and it\u2019s not its only meaning. He stands for things that are pretty bad. He\u2019s got some associations with people that are pretty questionable. All that\u2019s swept aside, all of that is ignored because of the momentous racial achievement. <\/line> <\/line>I don\u2019t think we have, at least as it has been defined in the past, racism in this country. We have underclassism. We have broken-familism. We have single-momism. We have you\u2019re-a-victimism. We have the failure of the Great Society-ism. We have a bunch of isms that are genuine and real, but racism, said to be the root of all these, is not. If we were as racist as the left wants to portray us, there wouldn\u2019t be the phenomenon known as Oprah Winfrey; there wouldn\u2019t have been Bill Cosby. I could go on down the list. There wouldn\u2019t be Obama. There wouldn\u2019t have been Ken Chenault and American Express. There wouldn\u2019t have been Dick Parsons at Time Warner. There wouldn\u2019t have been Stanley O\u2019Neal at Merrill Lynch, and there are countless other examples of this in smaller corporations. Herman Cain is one. And all of the truly achievement-oriented black leaders who don\u2019t fit the liberal mold are ignored or they are impugned. You\u2019ve heard the names, don\u2019t need to mention them. Clarence Thomas is one, Dr. Sowell himself, Walter Williams. <\/line><\/p>\n

So while the media is trying to catch up with old news, first black president, and signals they\u2019re ready to acknowledge America\u2019s fairness, ask yourself, why do the Drive-Bys say they\u2019re in the news business when they\u2019re actually in the old news business? That\u2019s what they thrive on is the past, narratives, action lines, and templates from the past. Congratulations are due to Obama, there\u2019s no question, but not for being black, what an insult. Hey, congratulations, Obama, welcome to politics, the first black presidential nominee. What an insult. The reason you congratulate Barack Obama, he\u2019s a guy who took on and beat the pantsuit off the Clinton machine, even if he did crawl across the finish line. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Washington. Irving. Hello, sir. Nice to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Mr. Limbaugh. It\u2019s a pleasure to speak with you. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve been trying to call you for about four years since I first heard your voice on the radio at Fort Benning, Georgia.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, terrific. I\u2019m glad you made it through.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I was calling to say that I personally believe that Mr. Obama\u2019s candidacy does represent a very historic event. And the reason is because, I\u2019m a 26-year-old African-American young man myself, a soldier in the United States Army; and I personally believe that growing up in the America that I grew up in, anything is possible. But Mr. Obama is actually proving that anything is possible. I have a son that\u2019s six years old; and when I tell him he can be anything when he grows up, he can actually be anything when he grows up, and he can see an example of it. Even if Senator Obama doesn\u2019t win the election — I think he will, but even if he doesn\u2019t — it\u2019s still proof that anything is actually possible in this great nation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that is a good point, and I\u2019m all for role models and all for people who inspire others. But do you really think it took the nomination of Obama to be able to say to people, ‘You can be whoever you want to be in this country\u2019?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think that in a lot of instances, it takes someone. People have to see someone succeed at something before they believe it\u2019s actually possible.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, you said before you started talking about your son that you thought that anything was possible in America. How did you come to believe that before Obama?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I believed that anything was possible. I still believe that anything is possible, you know, but that was just optimism. You know what I mean? Now I know it to be a reality. Because ultimately I feel like as long as I work hard and do what I need to do, I can — as long as I put my mind to something, I\u2019ll probably be able to accomplish it. Now, for I don\u2019t know how long there has been a debate, you know, whether America was ready for a female president or a minority president. You know what I mean?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, that\u2019s a good point. That\u2019s a good point. By virtue of Mrs. Clinton\u2019s defeat, do you think if you had a daughter, that your daughter would say, ‘Dad, I can\u2019t be president. The country just rejected Mrs. Clinton?\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. I was… I think my daughter would say that it\u2019s still possible, because —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, then why wouldn\u2019t…?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — 17 million people voted for Senator Clinton.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, why wouldn\u2019t your son be able to say the same thing if she had beaten Obama?<\/p>\n

CALLER: He would still be able to. By virtue of him being a viable candidate, you know what I\u2019m saying? My son would be able to say the same thing. It\u2019s just —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I beg to disagree. I really believe if Obama had lost, the same phenomenon that\u2019s happening to Hillary would be happening with black voters who support Obama. I think the race industry would gin up, and I think you\u2019d have the Sharptons and Jacksons — especially if the Democrat superdelegates had taken the nomination away from him. Or, in another circumstance, if he had lost narrowly, legitimately narrowly without having the superdelegates get involved. See, this is a problem. I appreciate the historic nature of this, but I think in the areas I was discussing that inspired your phone call, nothing is going to change. The racial industry in this country is going to take any instance it can to keep this country roiled. For example, this story, Irving, from the Reuters News Agency. It\u2019s out of Atlanta: ‘Black Americans savored Barack Obama\u2019s unprecedented victory in the Democratic race for US president, but said on Wednesday the higher stakes raised the prospect of deep disappointment in November. … <\/p>\n

”Black Americans are treading on thin ice, moving very delicately. This (Obama\u2019s) opportunity is frail and fragile (and many say) let\u2019s make sure that nothing happens to ruin it,\u2019 said [William Jelani] Cobb, a professor of history at Atlanta\u2019s Spelman College.\u2019 So already there are people savoring this historic victory who are now beginning to think, ‘Uh-oh. We\u2019re just going to be really disappointed if he loses. This may not be worth it.\u2019 And, see, this is just the racial industry getting up and rearing its head and sending out the feelers: ‘Hey, don\u2019t think nothing\u2019s historic yet, dudes. He hasn\u2019t won the big house. Until he wins the big house, nothing\u2019s happened — and you better be prepared to be disappointed.\u2019 I think this is horrible. This is not inspiring. These are people afraid of success. ‘You know, I don\u2019t think we want to win because to win we might have to risk losing. If we do lose everybody is going to be sad and disappointed and I don\u2019t know if we can take that.\u2019 That\u2019s why I wish race were… I know it\u2019s historic racially, but there\u2019s far more at stake here than just the fact that we\u2019ve elected or nominated a black guy. You know, Martin Luther King said something, Irving, and I know you\u2019ll remember this. Martin Luther King said, ‘I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content their character.\u2019 We are ignoring Obama\u2019s character and Jeremiah Wright\u2019s and Tony Rezko\u2019s and we\u2019re only talking about his color. So I don\u2019t know what kind of progress has actually happened.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s another huge error in this Reuters story on blacks. It said the Obama presidency would eliminate from the scene Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton. Wrong. It would elevate them. These people don\u2019t understand the race industry.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Lori in Manhattan, Kansas, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush, first-time caller. I\u2019m a little nervous. <\/p>\n

RUSH: What can I do? What can I do to settle your nerves?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m not really sure. Just be nice.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Well, that\u2019s sweet. Be nice, as though that would be a change.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, true. You\u2019re always nice.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I hope you\u2019re relaxing even now.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think so, a little bit.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I am. More so than with your call screener even. You just have that relaxing, soothing voice.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate that. Well, he\u2019s in a hurry in there. He\u2019s gotta judge people\u2019s capability and qualification on the fly and if he doesn\u2019t he\u2019s gotta zoom on. I\u2019ve heard him, ‘Rush Limbaugh Show, what do you want?\u2019 And then it\u2019s up to the caller to — is that pretty much what he said to you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, he was a little bit better than that. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Then he\u2019s slipping.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well don\u2019t get mad at him. He was all right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Now, are you sufficiently relaxed?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think I am, yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See how this works? Okay. Let ‘er rip.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. In response to the first caller of the day, I was thinking that, it\u2019s not a direct response, but it got me thinking this. And for all the Obama supporters that are supporting him primarily because he\u2019s black and that they want to see a first black president, I think they\u2019re missing the big picture. It seems they want him to succeed so badly that they\u2019re overlooking the fact that he may fail as a president and what those ramifications may be. For example, I think it\u2019s probable he may end up being another Jimmy Carter or worse, and if I were an African-American, I would be afraid that that would set us back more than him not being elected in the first place.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, they are afraid, but they\u2019re afraid for different reasons. They\u2019re afraid he might lose. This is really psychologically interesting, Lori. Reuters went out and they talked to a bunch of black intellectuals at universities and average black people on the street and they\u2019re all excited, ‘Oh yeah, Obama finally got it,\u2019 but they are distressed, they\u2019re anxious and they\u2019re a little nervous because he might lose and that would be disappointing. These are people that can\u2019t deal with success. We\u2019ve talked about this before, people who are afraid of success, something successful happens to them, ‘This is not deserved,\u2019 and they undermine themselves, and so they\u2019re in the process of doing that now. In terms of Obama actually failing as a president, they\u2019re not thinking of that. That\u2019s not even the point. He can\u2019t fail. You have to understand the psychological mind-set of the left. Having him elected is all that matters. David Dinkins, General Dinkins, one of the worst mayors in New York. First black mayor. I\u2019m pretty right about this, Snerdley, pretty bad mayor. He was one of the worst. To this day that\u2019s not said about him. Just the fact that he was the first was all that mattered. And one of the things that the left does, these guilty white liberal plantation owners, they almost expect black failure. Why else is there something called affirmative action? They almost expect blacks to not be able to achieve things. That\u2019s why affirmative action and quotas were set up, so as to give them a boost. And once they rise to the top here, then they don\u2019t fail, failure is not possible, because they made it. The only failures are black conservatives. So his qualifications don\u2019t matter, he\u2019s running an image campaign anyway. Pure and simple. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
