And, you know, you &#8212; you asked me earlier, uh, if I\u2019m worried about the exceedingly high expectations that people have for President Barack Obama, and I said domestically I wasn\u2019t so worried about that, but internationally I am. I\u2019ve been contacted by so many world leaders. Their expectation for Barack\u2019s, ehhh, presidency is overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t buy this for a second. <\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: They are so hungry to have an American leader who they think has a policy that reflects our stated values, as well as one they can talk to.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m sorry. As loose as this guy is known to be with words&#8230; (Biden impression) &#8216;Hey, Chuck, stand up out there! Let \u2019em see you! Ohhhh, God love you, Chuck. You\u2019re in the wheelchair. Well, I wish somebody had told me. Stand up for Chuck!\u2019 As loose as this guy is with words, do you believe world leaders are calling him and saying, &#8216;Boy, we\u2019ve got these really high expectations. We can\u2019t wait \u2019til you get Obama in there to get back to American policies that reflect your stated values\u2019? If there are any world leaders that can\u2019t wait for Obama it\u2019s people like Putin, and they are not calling Biden. Putin, Hu Jintao in China, Ahmadinejad in Iran, these are the guys that are hoping for a change in US policy; as in, &#8216;We surrender;\u2019 as in, &#8216;Let\u2019s give up.\u2019 But this is continuing the campaign. This is ridiculous campaign rhetoric. Their expectation for Obama (deep breath) is overwhelming. They\u2019re so hungry to have an American leader who they think has a policy that reflects our stated values as well as one they can talk to.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know of a world leader that has not spoken to Bush, other than the aforementioned (ahem) Ahmadinejad; what\u2019s his name down there in Venezuela, Hugo Chavez; and the Castro brothers; but he\u2019s talked to Hu Jintao. He\u2019s had Putin down to the ranch in Crawford for barbecue. I frankly think that\u2019s what soured Putin on America, if you want my opinion. Barbecue? What\u2019s barbecue. They don\u2019t understand barbecue. They come in, they want to know, &#8216;Where\u2019s the borscht and the vodka?\u2019 Barbecue? Putin, he actually said it was kind of strange. He couldn\u2019t believe how much food there was and it wasn\u2019t all that good. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Joe Biden is now trying to lower expectations worldwide.
