RUSH: We have Obama — and, by the way, folks, on this flip-flop business, let\u2019s not use the word flip-flop. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to persuade anybody. It worked with Kerry because Kerry was such n idiot. I mean, his flip-flops were just funny. ‘I voted for it before I voted against it.\u2019 You gotta remember one thing about these flip-flops, and I\u2019m going to stop using the term here in just a second. Most people are not really paying close attention right now to all this, despite what might be record levels of attention, those of us who are involved in this on a day-to-day basis, we are absorbed, and we are detail-oriented; we know Obama upwards and forwards and backwards and hindwards and all that. <\/p>\n

By the time most people start tuning in, his centrist positions, his so-called flip-flops, are actually going to be the things about him that they know. So we have to portray this guy as inexperienced, far leftist, despite what he\u2019s saying about moving to the center. You know what I find most irritating about this, all these moves to the center here, be it abortion, be it Iraq, by the way, did I not tell you a year ago — I hate doing See, I Told You So\u2019s, folks, because it sounds like I\u2019ve got a big ego and I don\u2019t have a big ego. My ego is totally a hundred percent in check. But I told you a year ago, that the Democrats, there\u2019s not one of these candidates running for the White House, that if they win are going to pull us out of Iraq if it means we lose. They are not going to saddle themselves with a military defeat, mark my words, and I said that the far-left fringe kooks that define the left wing of the Democrat Party today are going to outraged when this happens, and they\u2019re going to say things like, ‘Hey, you know, Bush was not honest with us. He didn\u2019t tell us everything going on and now we find out what\u2019s going on, it would be a mistake to pull out now.\u2019 There was no way this was ever going to happen, and, in fact, Obama now suggesting that he would be pragmatic about this and talk to the commanders — I knew it. This is just common sense. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care how anti-America some of their fringe is, they, as a political party, are not going to saddle themselves with defeat. They might be happy to try to claim victory on this, because there\u2019s a story in the BBC or UK Telegraph or something I have here in the stack — it\u2019s all coming up — about the amazing success that is taking place over there. The word ‘victory\u2019 is being used consistently in much of the foreign media. But here\u2019s what bugs me most about these so-called flip-flops. Every national election, every one of them the liberal Democrats know full well they cannot win. Can you imagine how Hillary Clinton feels today? Obama is now campaigning like Hillary was in the remaining primaries. After Texas, and after Ohio, Obama has now totally taken her campaign, just seized it. She was going after the white working class that was very much upset and disabused of the whole notion of Obama. So now he\u2019s moving in that direction. They do this \u2019cause they know that far-left-wingism will not win national elections. <\/p>\n

They may lie to themselves and say that conservatism is cracking up. They may lie to themselves and say that the era of Reagan or the era of conservatism is over, and that we\u2019re getting ready to usher in a new, far-left agenda. They\u2019re gonna do that if they win, but they\u2019re not going to campaign on it, because it loses. Here\u2019s what\u2019s frustrating. All of these people on our side of the aisle, our so-called media intelligentsia and a number of the country club blue-blood Republicans, the Rockefeller bunch, they think they can\u2019t win as conservatives. They think the Republican Party cannot triumph with a conservative identity, so they go moving left. They move to the Democrats and they move to independents and they try to come up with all these policy shifts that deemphasize the Republican Party base, try to attract the Democrat Party base and get the favorable treatment from the media. In the meanwhile, what are the Democrats doing? <\/p>\n

The Democrats are moving in our direction. Obama is moving right. Now, they may say he\u2019s stopped his move right in the middle and in the center, but when he starts flip-flopping on victory in Iraq, when he starts flip-flopping on abortion, when he starts doing a number of these things, gun control, you tell me conservatism — this is maddening. This is maddening. So what could happen here is that as we head into August, when we get to the Democrat National Convention, and Obama starts giving his speech, and if he keeps this stuff up, he may end up sounding just as, quote, unquote, conservative on many things as McCain does. You couple that with his mantra for change and so forth, it may be attractive. The Republican Party is going to have a big job to portray Obama as he really is. He is The Messiah, also known as Senator Obama. He\u2019s not Senator Obama also known as The Messiah. He\u2019s The Messiah also known as Obama. <\/p>\n

I was working all weekend. Even though I was not behind the Golden EIB Microphone I\u2019m watching all this stuff Obama is doing and saying, and he\u2019s embraced the flag, he\u2019s holding the flag now. I got in my chair and chilled out, but I also paid attention because I have a responsibility to my country here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

Obama, from the Los Angeles Times on July the 5th, this little blurb here: ‘He\u2019s not president yet, but Barack Obama has already given some thought to White House decor. Asked at a town hall-style meeting in Fargo, ND, about any decorating plans for the Lincoln Bedroom, Obama described a visit to the White House after he became a US senator. ‘You have all these mementos of Abraham Lincoln, but you have this flat-screen TV in there,\u2019 Obama told the crowd at the outdoor event. ‘I thought to myself, ‘Now, who stays in the Lincoln Bedroom and watches [ESPN\u2019s] ‘Sports Center\u2019?\u2019 You\u2019ve got your clicker. . . . That didn\u2019t seem to me to be appropriate. So I might take out the TV, I don\u2019t know. You should read when you\u2019re in the Lincoln Bedroom! Reread the Gettysburg Address. Don\u2019t watch TV.”<\/p>\n

I also read a speech, it dovetails with this that Abraham Lincoln gave during predebate with Stephen Douglas on the meaning of the Declaration of Independence, and it is just brilliant, and this attitude of Obama\u2019s, you must, we\u2019re going to make you do service to your country, we\u2019re going to make you do this, you must do that, you must stop driving your car for this or you must stop changing your car, you must change your car, whatever, Lincoln said that\u2019s the attitude of kings. That\u2019s the attitude of kings and tyrants, that nobody\u2019s capable of doing the right thing on their own, they\u2019re just a bunch of little victims, we\u2019ll give \u2019em what they need to stay mollified and happy. We\u2019re gonna make \u2019em do things they wouldn\u2019t otherwise do because they\u2019re not good people. He was accusing Stephen Douglas of this by leaving certain people out from the tenet from the declaration that Thomas Jefferson wrote, that all men are created equal. Douglas, no, they\u2019re not. The Germans are not included here. We are a country of English people who came here, the Germans don\u2019t count, the Swedes don\u2019t count, they don\u2019t get the same protections, that was Douglas\u2019 position. And Lincoln said, it\u2019s impossible, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence says just the exact opposite. <\/p>\n

The whole point was, to me, when I was reading this, they say The Messiah, also known as Obama, transcends politics. He transcends nothing. He\u2019s not new. He\u2019s not unique. There\u2019s nothing special about him in terms of, ‘Gee, we\u2019ve never had this kind of countenance and presence among us in American politics.\u2019 Lincoln didn\u2019t transcend anything. The Declaration of Independence does not get transcended. You can\u2019t transcend it, but they want to transcend the Constitution, they want to transcend the Declaration. Anyway, it was a great piece. This business about flat-screen TV in the Lincoln Bedroom, as you people may remember, I, El Rushbo, have been in the Lincoln Bedroom. By the way, I wonder if Obama even knows what the Lincoln Bedroom was. When Lincoln was in the White House, that was his office, and it\u2019s upstairs in the second floor in the residence. Tight across the hall is what\u2019s called the Queen\u2019s Room. It\u2019s another bedroom, but it was an office. That\u2019s where Lincoln and his buds ran the civil war. It was not a bedroom. I don\u2019t think there was a West Wing then. I don\u2019t think there was an East Wing then. And I wonder if Obama even knows this. <\/p>\n

Now, when I was there, there wasn\u2019t a flat panel there but there was a television, and I didn\u2019t turn it on and watch it, I was too busy calling my mom saying, ‘Hey, guess where I am? You won\u2019t believe this.\u2019 She didn\u2019t believe me, so I called her again with the White House switchboard placing the call. But it\u2019s like a hotel room, you set the alarm, you get a wake-up call, the White House steward comes and brings you coffee and newspapers in the morning. It\u2019s just down the hall from the main living area. I mean, it\u2019s a long distance, but it\u2019s on the second floor of the residence. I bet there have been tons of people in there, predominantly in the Clinton administration, watching more than ESPN on that TV. I bet they brought in their own tapes. I bet they brought in their own DVDs, if you get my drift.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I got a quick question for Obama. Obama, how long does it take, The Messiah also known as Obama, how long does it take to read the living, breathing Constitution in the Lincoln Bedroom? How long does it take to read the Gettysburg Address while in the Lincoln Bedroom? How long does it take to read the Declaration of Independence while in the Lincoln Bedroom? Did you see where The Messiah, also known as Obama, is pondering a major address at the Brandenburg Gate, the spot that once marked the Berlin Wall? Obama is going to go over there, he\u2019s going to go to the Brandenburg Gate where the Berlin Wall once stood. I\u2019m wondering what side he\u2019ll be on? On what side will Obama make the speech? Just kidding, folks. But I do have a serious question. If he is going, if The Messiah also known as Obama is going to go to the site of the Berlin Wall and make a speech, where is he scheduling the Sermon on the Mount? Is he going to give a Sermon on the Mount, and if so, when? (interruption)Yes, I saw it, Mr. Snerdley. I don\u2019t understand it. Obama\u2019s plane, his campaign plane was on the way from Chicago down to North Carolina for a campaign appearance, and they had a detour to St. Louis because they had a problem in there; they couldn\u2019t control the pitch of the airplane, the elevation of the nose, so they had to touchdown for a maintenance fix, and I was watching this, he gets off the airplane and he\u2019s on a cheap MD-80. I wouldn\u2019t be caught dead on one of those regardless, and his campaign plane is an MD-80? Nothing against Midwest Airlines, but it\u2019s like flying in a sardine can. I don\u2019t know how old these things are, but gee whiz, I mean that was disappointing. I mean not even an Obama logo on the side of the thing. <\/p>\n

Anyway, let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. I want to add some things to this so-called flip-flop business of Obama. Let\u2019s go back on March 19th, 2008, this year, Fayetteville, North Carolina, at a campaign event, here is what Obama said.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: In order to end this war responsibly, I will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. We can responsibly remove one to two combat brigades each month. If we start with the number of brigades we have in Iraq today, we can remove all of them in 16 months.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right, 16 months is going to get everybody out of there, start immediately when he was inaugurated, said that back March 19th in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I knew this was a lie. They\u2019re not going to pull these people out of there immediately. They\u2019re not going to secure themselves with defeat, no Democrat would. Hillary wouldn\u2019t do it, either. Then last Thursday in Fargo, North Dakota.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: When I go to Iraq and I have a chance to talk to some of the commanders on the ground, I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll have more information and will continue to refine my policies.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Continue to refine my policies? I guess these are policy pirouettes. I guess these are recalibrations. But people did not react to this well. His kook fringe base does not like this. So he had to go out there and do a second reference to this, and he\u2019s out there not only wearing the American flag lapel pin, he\u2019s out there clutching a flag as he makes these speeches. Here is John Kerry, the haughty John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, from Face the Nation yesterday. Bob Schieffer said, ‘So, is this a change in policy? Some in the McCain campaign go so far as to say it\u2019s a flip-flop, Senator Kerry. Explain this for us.\u2019<\/p>\n

KERRY: Barack Obama has a plan for ending the war. John McCain has a plan for continuing the war, and he has said so very clearly dozens and dozens of times. What the McCain campaign is trying to do is take the normal statement of anybody smart enough to be president of the United States and is ready to be president, he says he\u2019ll refine — may refine tactically what you might decide to do over the course of that withdrawal and how you protect American troops and how you in fact get the Iraqi army to stand up faster, but it is no change whatsoever in his fundamental determination to end the war.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) I can\u2019t take these people seriously. Yes, it is Senator Kerry. He now wants to win the war. McCain doesn\u2019t want to continue this thing, either. But I mean here\u2019s Mr. Flip-flop himself, John Kerry (laughing) defending (laughing) I thought Obama had all these new things that nobody had ever done before.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Poor old DNCTV up there, some poor supporter is questioning whether Obama is shifting policies. That\u2019s the point. He is not shifting policies. He is shifting statements. He is a leftist. He is going to remain a leftist. He is going to grow the government as fast and as large as he can, all of this, all these new positions and so forth. You people on the left ought to just cool down, just chill out. If I were you, I\u2019d be asking a different question. Why does Obama hate the environment? Flying around on a junk airplane burns a whole lot of fuel, not efficient at all, cramming all the press people in there in sardine-like conditions. I got nothing against the MD-80, but I wouldn\u2019t be on one. I mean, of all the planes out there, and, by the way, speaking of all of this, we keep hearing in California, you know what they\u2019re going to make you do? They\u2019re going to make you put a sticker or there\u2019s going to be some requirement that on your car, the car you drive has to have a score in terms of how much pollution it\u2019s causing and how much global warming it\u2019s causing and how much destruction to the climate it\u2019s causing. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Big Sur is half gone. Look at the carbon footprint that these fires are causing, and I don\u2019t hear one complaint from the environmentalist wackos. I don\u2019t hear one complaint from the global warming fools led by Algore. I do not hear it. There\u2019s a much bigger carbon footprint with these fires going on than people driving their automobiles around. I can imagine what their reaction will be. ‘That\u2019s right, Mr. Limbaugh, you\u2019re exactly right, but the difference is those fires are natural. Those fires were started by lightning.\u2019 This is the voice of the new castrati, by the way. ‘We can\u2019t stop that, Mr. Limbaugh, those are natural, but cars are manmade, and the fires are not manmade. Mr. Limbaugh, manmade things are destroying the planet.\u2019 That would be their reaction to this. I got another question: Why is John Kerry, the haughty John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, why is he dumping all over his buddy, John McCain, a man that Senator Kerry, who served in Vietnam, considered making his vice presidential candidate back in 2004? Also on Face the Nation, Bob Schieffer talking to the haughty John Kerry. ‘I remember back in 2004 you were thinking seriously about adding McCain to your ticket. Now you\u2019re being very hard, it seems to me. This is not the first time you\u2019ve said that McCain didn\u2019t understand the lessons of 9\/11. You\u2019ve said he didn\u2019t understand them in the least. What\u2019s happened here? Has John McCain changed or have you changed?\u2019<\/p>\n

KERRY: John McCain has changed in profound and fundamental ways that I find personally really surprising and, frankly, upsetting. He is not the John McCain as the senator who defined himself, quote, as a maverick, unquote. This is a different John McCain. This is, you know, not the ‘Senator\u2019 John McCain, this is ‘nomination\u2019 John McCain, this is ‘wannabe president\u2019 John McCain, and the result is that John McCain has flip-flopped on more issues than, you know, I was even ever accused possibly of thinking approximate. I mean this is extraordinary what he\u2019s done. He\u2019s changed on taxes. He\u2019s now in favor of the Bush tax cut. If you like the Bush economy, if you like the Bush tax cut and what it\u2019s done to our economy, making wealthier people wealthier and the average middle class struggle harder, then John McCain\u2019s going to give you a third term of George Bush and Karl Rove.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is — (laughing) — I don\u2019t know. I just have to laugh at these people. I don\u2019t even feel like parsing this. It\u2019s just difficult to — I mean, John Kerry, loser? All of these Democrats that lose end up rising to the top of their chart, their depth chart, it\u2019s just a resume enhancement, because they become victims, they have been victims of the evil Republican machine. They were denied what was rightfully theirs. As such, they are to be honored as great soldiers who have gone down in a great fight, trying to improve America, ahem, while getting savaged and lied about by the evil Republicans. Right. Just another incompetent United States senator, John Kerry, who wrote the definition. I mean you look up the term ‘flip-flop\u2019 anywhere, you\u2019re going to see this giant picture of Lurch standing there, because he\u2019s the guy that popularized this. Now, listen to this. This is last Wednesday. This is on CNN\u2019s Election Center. This happened after we left the broadcast complex. CNN correspondent Michael Ware talking about Obama. Michael Ware is the guy that had the one-day fling with Lara Logan of CBS.<\/p>\n

WARE: And one thing I\u2019d like to hear from Senator Obama. It\u2019s fine to have this notion to pull the troops out. Who isn\u2019t tired, who doesn\u2019t want the troops to come home? But I want to hear Senator Obama say he\u2019s prepared to pull those troops out while listing all the costs to American power, interests, and status, not to mention the slaughter that almost certainly will follow. Then he can say that he\u2019s ready to pull the troops out. Let\u2019s hear him say he knows what it\u2019s really going to cost.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. You heard it, a CNN reporter, who had an affair with Lara Logan of CBS, wanting to know from Obama, ‘Hey, do you understand what\u2019s going to happen here if we pull out? I want to hear from you, sir.\u2019 But he\u2019s not going to pull out. That\u2019s what this is all about. I think what\u2019s happened here, to sum all this up, what\u2019s happening here is that Obama is now campaigning like Hillary Clinton. He has basically taken charge of her campaign in the remaining months when she was still trying — during the Operation Chaos phase. He\u2019s basically campaigning like Hillary. These reports that he has moved to the center are infuriating because he hasn\u2019t moved anywhere. He is talking center, but he\u2019s not going to govern center if he wins. But, again, the Democrats have to do this in order to win. Amidst all the arguments that conservatism has seen its better days, that the era of Reagan is over and all of this, what are the Democrats showing once again? That in order to win national elections, they have to be more like us. And what are we doing this time around? For some damn fool reason, we\u2019re campaigning like we think we have to be more like them. So we have a meeting here in the center going on as we stand now between Obama and McCain, and on some things, you know, this is a little bit of a stretch, but Obama, just by virtue of what he\u2019s saying, may end up occupying a position or two further to the right than McCain. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, might play it once just for the fun of it. I was thinking just a temporary little theme song here for Obama\u2019s incompetent, foolish pandering here, Stuck in the Middle With You, by Stealers Wheel. ‘Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. Stuck in the middle.\u2019 The problem is that the clowns and the jokers are the ones in the middle. So if we play that song about Obama, we\u2019re calling ourselves jokes and lifting him up, so it won\u2019t work. It was a nice try.
