Great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, hello?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi. I just had a question. You know, I appreciate you having me on. In regards to Obama, I know I hear a lot of people talking negative about him a lot, and I &#8212; I just want to know if &#8212; if it\u2019s personal or if it\u2019s political? Because I know of people that have the same views but actually get sickened by seeing the man on TV, or&#8230; Do you feel the same way? <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125112.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"470\" height=\"342\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Uh, no. It\u2019s all policy with me. I don\u2019t get sickened. You mean seeing Obama on TV?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, I &#8212; I personally know people that just, like, literally hate the man that much. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t even know him.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I mean, I didn\u2019t vote for President Bush, but I like the gentleman as a &#8212; as a human being, and I would read his books and all that, but just&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t even know him. None of this with me is personal. When I cringe on TV, it\u2019s at the thought that a whole lot of people are listening to it and believing it all.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: True.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I thought the polls said everybody likes Obama personally. I didn\u2019t know there were people that didn\u2019t like him.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, that\u2019s why I was seeing if it was widespread. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s a lot of people. If I know a few people, I\u2019m sure there\u2019s more.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Where have you been hanging around in West Palm Beach that they hate Obama?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckles) Well, I don\u2019t want to really say, but &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Unh-huh. Unh-huh. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: But it\u2019s really close.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Just how near Belvedere-Okeechobee is it?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughs) About, yes. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It is.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: The Lake Worth area, too.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, that makes even more sense. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But I just want you to know: For me personally, this is all policy. This is all about the future of the country. How old are you, Chris?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Twenty-five.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Twenty-five?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: To me, this is all about your future. I am over twice your age, and I have been able to experience and access the wonderful opportunities of this country, and I live in fear that for people your age and younger they aren\u2019t gonna be as plentiful and that they may not be at all if this stuff doesn\u2019t get stopped.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I see.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Because the engine of that opportunity is freedom, entrepreneurialism, liberty, creativity in the private sector, and all that\u2019s being whittled away. It really&#8230;not just frustrates me, it breaks my heart. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I understand.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I talk to people your age, and a lot of people your age expect things pretty quickly in life. It\u2019s just the way things have evolved, and nothing really of decent quality happens quickly. It takes a long time to achieve it in most cases. I mean, there are exceptions. But this is gonna take even longer if some of this stuff is not stopped and rolled back &#8212; and that\u2019s my pure, thorough concern about this. It has nothing to do with Obama as a human being because I don\u2019t even know him. I have no idea what he\u2019s like to watch baseball at &#8216;Cominskey\u2019 Field with. I have no idea, no clue what it\u2019s like to have dinner with him or anything like that. So none of this is based on anything personal. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s pure, pure policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: West Palm Beach, Florida, Chris, welcome to the EIB Network.
