Nikki, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you, Rush. A few weeks ago you referenced a song in the movie Camelot in relationship to Hillary Clinton, &#8216;How to Handle a Woman.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125114.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"111\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: Well, in that same movie Guinevere points out to Lancelot that he lacks &#8216;hum-il-i-tay,\u2019 humility. She said that in French so he understands it. I think Obama lacks humility, and I think you\u2019re right that the Americans are going to turn against him for that reason, too.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. You know, it\u2019s an interesting &#8212; curious and interesting &#8212; way to look at him. He lacks humility \u2019cause that is almost required if one is arrogant, as arrogant as Obama is. I got an e-mail note, Nikki, from somebody (I just read it during the break) saying that I should stop calling Obama names; that is beneath me and it\u2019s not productive. I should stop calling him a jerk and that kind of thing. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckles)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Maybe that\u2019s true. I just got so mad listening to this stuff today. It\u2019s infuriating. It is unconscionable, and it is infuriating, and you\u2019ve nailed it. He has no humility whatsoever. So I\u2019m going to stop calling him names and I\u2019m just going to call him a con artist, \u2019cause that\u2019s what he is. He is a con artist. He is conning everybody, and he\u2019s getting away with it \u2019cause so many people want to be conned. There are a lot of people in this country who want to believe that a guy can come along snap his finger and give them health care, that a guy can come along and make all of other enemies love us. They want to be conned into building this. It\u2019s not that it has to be true; they just want to believe that it\u2019s true, so we got a con man. We have a con man operating here &#8212; and that\u2019s not calling him a name. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Nikki in Pittsburgh. Nikki, welcome to the EIB Network.
