\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The State of the Union address, my instincts right on the money, lowest ratings in 15 years. It was an absolute, total ratings bomb. And I didn\u2019t want to watch it, my instincts right on the money. But does this say the country is becoming more racist, Mr. Snerdley? You have an African-American president, lowest State of the Union show ratings in I don\u2019t know how long. Could we chalk that up to a racist viewing public? Make no mistake, some might allude to it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ken in Livonia, Michigan. Hello, sir. Great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call. Earlier you mentioned that the State of the Union address that President Obama had given had fewer viewers than in the past, and I just wanted to address why I believe that to be the case. The reason why I didn\u2019t watch it, the reason I believe millions of others didn\u2019t watch it, is because unfortunately President Obama has proven through his entire presidency that he never speaks the truth. He never gives the facts when he opens his mouth. I mean, we can remember, Rush, his famous statements that if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right. That\u2019s exactly right on the money, 100% right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And even now with global warming, or climate change, he promotes climate change as a fact when we know it\u2019s a fraud, not forget what we learned out of England when all that information was made available on the Internet. It\u2019s sad, Rush, but there again, we have a president that lies. He lies and lies and lies. He never tells the truth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think that\u2019s definitely part of it. I would agree with you a hundred percent on that. The actual truth is, this is the second lowest rated State of the Union since Nielsen started rating them. The absolute lowest was Bill Clinton\u2019s in 2000, and then this is the second lowest. I think you\u2019re absolutely right. Nobody\u2019s interested. They\u2019re not gonna hear the truth. They\u2019re just pontificating. I think you\u2019re exactly right. There\u2019s just not a high degree of trust. And clearly now, folks, this is another fascinating thing to me. There\u2019s no excitement. There\u2019s no eager anticipation. There\u2019s no, “Man, this our president, Obama!” No, none of that, it\u2019s all gone. It\u2019s just a ho-hummer now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
