RUSH: My brother\u2019s book is out today. I\u2019m going to be talking more about it in detail as the program unfolds, Crimes Against Liberty, but it is the book you need to read for this election season. It is the book. It answers every Obama question that people have, goes into a lot of depth about why Obama is who he is personally as well as politically and how the two impact each other. We\u2019re going to be making mention of that also on the Facebook page<\/a>. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/a>RUSH: I mentioned at the top of the program that my brother has been working diligently on a book. I know this because he\u2019s been putting things for me on the back burner. He has been working diligently for the last six to seven months, and this book is amazing. It\u2019s called Crimes Against Liberty, and I have to say I am really proud of this. This is incredible good. Not that I\u2019m surprised. I don\u2019t mean to sound I\u2019m surprised. I\u2019m proud. It\u2019s just terrific. It gets it all down in writing. Nobody has written this stuff. I mean, even the so-called conservative blogs and websites don\u2019t actually get to the real crux of this like my brother David has in print. I read this over the weekend. It is the most complete indictment of Obama and his administration in print that you will see. <\/line><\/p>\n

And its timing now — two-and-a-half months, right before the November election — is perfect. It is a page-turning read. It will reinforce and validate every instinct you have about this president and his regime, and it is a reference tool for everybody to know and to detest about this administration. I sent my brother a note. He said, ‘I want to send you a copy of the book. You don\u2019t have to talk about it. I know you\u2019ll feel awkward talking about it,\u2019 and a little bit, I sometimes do. Some people might think that I have no credibility because it\u2019s my brother, that I would say it even if it stunk. (interruption) Oh, I don\u2019t usually diss him. I tease David for the fun of it, but this is really, really good and I\u2019m not surprised by it at all. I\u2019m just extremely proud of it.<\/p>\n

I am proud, \u2019cause I know how hard he worked on it. I know how much of my stuff got thrown aside so he could finish this because this was important. I think it\u2019s just so well written. I can speak, and I think much better when I\u2019m speaking than when I\u2019m sitting down writing. David\u2019s just the opposite. When he sits down his mind comes alive, and he\u2019s able to get it down on paper quickly and exactly as he\u2019s thinking about it. It is comprehensive. It\u2019s a reference guide. Folks, it\u2019s going to validate everything you think. It\u2019s backed up with footnotes and all this stuff. It\u2019s not just opinion ranting. Even Erick Erickson at Red State has reviewed it, and here\u2019s some of the things he said: <\/p>\n

‘There are a lot of books out and coming out that will examine Barack Obama and his Presidency, but none so far have actually examined Obama\u2019s character and conduct as President,\u2019 and that\u2019s true because most people assume that Obama is perfect, ‘the one we\u2019ve all been waiting for,\u2019 and this book says: No, this is not the guy that we\u2019ve been told he is. He does believe he\u2019s messianic. He is a narcissist. One of the keys that David gets into in this book is you always examine the people who support you — What do they think of you? — and he points out that even on Obama\u2019s support side some people are not personally enamored of the guy, totally unlike what has been reported to us. <\/p>\n

‘In essence, no one has examined how well Obama is handling the Politics 101 of his job — being liked by those who elected him.\u2019 This book deals with the people who voted for Obama and how they are realizing that they were shafted, misled. Erick Erickson says, ‘Only David Limbaugh has done this. His new book, Crimes Against Liberty, is just out and I\u2019ve read through it. (Full disclosure: our sister company, Regnery Publishing, which is also publishing my book, published David\u2019s) David Limbaugh really gets into the play of personality and conduct of Obama — the bully behind the bully pulpit. ‘We were told we were getting a cool, calm, steady leader who could rise above emotional impulses to deliver classic statesmanship and prudent governance. <\/p>\n

”But all too often we witness in him a petulant and vindictive bully who doesn\u2019t seem to understand why anyone would challenge his omniscience.” That\u2019s a quote from the book. You\u2019re not going to find this stuff written anywhere, even on our side. You know, the people on our side dance around this \u2019cause they\u2019re afraid any criticism will be met with a charge of racism and all that. So it\u2019s Crimes Against Liberty, and I think he\u2019s in New York today. He\u2019s going to be on Hannity, he\u2019s going to be on Mark Levin\u2019s radio show, he\u2019s going to be all over the place. He even went so far over the weekend as he was outlining his own book in order to prepare for these media appearances. For himself, he was outlining his own book to be able to talk about it. So I just wanted to give it a genuine plug because it\u2019s well worth your time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
