RUSH: The New York Times is not happy, by the way, with Obama and his incompetence, his positions on Iraq. ‘New and Not Improved,\u2019 is what it\u2019s called. This is their July Fourth lead editorial. ‘Senator Barack Obama stirred his legions of supporters, and raised our hopes, promising to change the old order of things. … Now there seems to be a new Barack Obama on the hustings. First, he broke his promise to try to keep both major parties within public-financing limits for the general election. … The new Barack Obama has abandoned his vow to filibuster an electronic wiretapping bill if it includes an immunity clause for telecommunications companies that amounts to a sanctioned cover-up of Mr. Bush\u2019s unlawful eavesdropping after 9\/11. … The Barack Obama of the primary season used to brag that he would stand before interest groups and tell them tough truths. The new Mr. Obama tells evangelical Christians that he wants to expand President Bush\u2019s policy of funneling public money for social spending to religious-based organizations — a policy that violates the separation of church and state and turns a government function into a charitable donation. Mr. Obama endorsed the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn the District of Columbia\u2019s gun-control law. We knew he ascribed to the anti-gun-control groups\u2019 misreading of the Constitution as implying an individual right to bear arms. But it was distressing to see him declare that the court provided a guide to ‘reasonable regulations enacted by local communities to keep their streets safe.\u2019 &hellip; We were equally distressed by Mr. Obama\u2019s criticism of the Supreme Court\u2019s barring the death penalty for crimes that do not involve murder. We are not shocked when a candidate moves to the center for the general election. But Mr. Obama\u2019s shifts are striking because he was the candidate who proposed to change the face of politics, the man of passionate convictions who did not play old political games.\u2019<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe these people in the New York Times fell for any of this. I know: What is wrong with this picture? The Fourth of July, Independence Day, the New York Times writing about The Messiah as ‘new and not improved,\u2019 and get this. If you think conservatism is cracking up, the lead editorial in the New York Times on July Fourth rips Obama a new one. I just gave you the highlights. They basically just destroyed his whole image of Messiah and change agent and all that, and the same weekend, the New York Times\u2019 Sunday Magazine runs a piece about me saying, ‘Look out, Limbaugh is just getting warmed up. If you thought the last 20 years were something, wait \u2019til you hear the next eight.\u2019 Now, what\u2019s wrong with that picture? I\u2019m surprised that they didn\u2019t criticize his cheap airplane, too. That\u2019s the one thing they left out of this. But I guess maybe they hadn\u2019t seen it. There\u2019s a hilarious story also in the Denver Post about the status of the Democrat convention in Denver coming up. <\/p>\n

‘Obama Struggles to Thread Needle on Iraq.\u2019 This is from the French News Agency. You know, you would think that this guy, his campaign would come up with a consistent lie by now. At least if you\u2019re going to lie about it, come up with a consistent lie you can stick with, but they\u2019re boomeranging all over the place. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
