RUSH: Sarah in Decatur, Illinois. It\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Oh, it\u2019s so good to talk to you!<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I just want to quickly say, before I get to my point, that you\u2019ve really helped me find my voice in college and I use your Stack of Stuff every day to help me prepare for what I deal with in the classroom.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Thank you so much. I couldn\u2019t be more grateful.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: My point is I\u2019ve never, ever believed that Obama\u2019s ever had his own agenda. I\u2019ve always believed that he was just the perfect person to push in front of the American people to push the agendas of the Pelosi and Reid and the such. And I am just really confused about the lack of outrage here over these recent — what I consider — racist comments. I would imagine that someone as educated and someone who thinks so highly of himself as Obama does would be outraged to hear Clinton say that Obama should be getting them coffee. Is this…? I guess my question is: Is this all about health care or am I missing something? I just don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, look, there\u2019s no love lost between Clinton and Obama in the first place. Nobody\u2019s making a big deal with the Clinton comment, I think for exactly that reason. They don\u2019t want to have a bunch of negative fallout. They\u2019re focusing on Harry Reid. But outside the Beltway all kinds of people are focusing on the Clinton comment. <\/p>\n

CALLER: That one is more outrageous than the Reid comment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, it is!<\/p>\n

CALLER: In my opinion.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, by far! By far. That\u2019s why we spent more time on Clinton yesterday than we did Reid, and we\u2019re getting to Harry Reid today even though we did it yesterday as well.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But, no, this is all about health care. Clinton is not part of the health care fight so he can be ignored right now. Obama needs Harry Reid in there, and to show you Obama\u2019s destroying his party: Four to six, maybe even more seats in the Senate gone; 20 to 30 seats in the House gone. He doesn\u2019t care. It\u2019s all about him. Of course he\u2019s going to praise Harry Reid! Harry Reid\u2019s going to lose his Senate seat and his majority leader status. And you know who\u2019s out there already running for that? Do you know who\u2019s already laying the groundwork to become the new majority leader is Chuck-U Schumer. Chuck-U Schumer is out there trying to become the new majority leader. Yeah, there\u2019s a column in the New York Post today upset with Schumer because he\u2019s forgetting state-of-New York issues as he lays the groundwork to become the new majority leader in the Senate if they hold onto it, the majority. <\/p>\n

As to your point about Obama being basically a figurehead, a lot of people have gone back and forth on this, and he may be. I mean somebody may have decided somewhere down the line, ‘Here\u2019s a guy can\u2019t lose. America\u2019s ready to try to assuage its guilt over the original sin of slavery. You get a light-skinned Negro with no dialect out there, and you put him on the ticket, and bammo! He sounds smart. He can do it.\u2019 Whether that\u2019s true or not, Sarah, make no mistake about this: This is Obama\u2019s agenda. He is not a figurehead when it comes to this. Obama is animated. He is not a cool, calm customer. He\u2019s a cold, calculating one, and he has a vision of America that is not yours and not mine. The way he\u2019s been educated on this country is not the way you and I were educated. He believes that this country has exploited the world for selfish reasons, that we have plundered the earth of resources that belong to other poor people in poor countries, all to make our lifestyles advanced; that we have gotten wealthy in unjust and immoral ways; that we have spread pestilence, that we have caused war, that we have killed billions of people. <\/p>\n

This is what he was educated to believe. It\u2019s what he does believe. He has a chip on his shoulder about this country, and he\u2019s out to change it. When he says he\u2019s going to ‘remake America,\u2019 he means it — and this is exactly what he\u2019s doing, and his economic plans are falling right into play: The redistribution of wealth, the prevention of the creation of wealth in the future. He believes that the real… Look, I\u2019ve always said the way to understand Obama is that he seeks to return the nation\u2019s wealth to its ‘rightful owners.\u2019 Now, in his view, the ‘rightful owners\u2019 are unions, ‘working families\u2019 (which are unions), minorities, women, whatever. The evil majority in this country — which, in his view, has always been white — needs to be taken down a peg. They have unfairly enriched themselves at the expense of everybody else. So he\u2019s charted a course, and he believes it. Whether he\u2019s a figurehead or not, whether he was selected, he still believes it. This is his agenda. This is what he wants for the country, and this is what his policies\u2019 objectives are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
