(interruption)  How did you know that?  Is that in the news today?  (interruption)  It was in the news yesterday?  So I asked Snerdley, I said, &#8220;What\u2019s this the tenth anniversary of?&#8221;  He just tells me, &#8220;Obama\u2019s speech at the Democrat convention.&#8221;  How do you know?  (interruption)  Are you telling me that that\u2019s just off the top of your head, that you have seen nothing about that? <\/p>\n<p>Well, H.R.\u2019s calling you a liar. H.R. says it was in the news yesterday.  (interruption)  Well, we will figure this out.  (interruption)  No, it\u2019s not, and even if it is, we\u2019re not going there.  (interruption)  Don\u2019t &#8212; gee whiz.  I\u2019m sorry, folks. It\u2019s so unfair for me to know what\u2019s being said to me and you don\u2019t know and I\u2019m reacting to it.  (interruption)  It\u2019s not a black thing, all right? <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_94022\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama04.jpg\"\/><BR\/>The broadcast engineer said, &#8220;Snerdley knows it\u2019s Obama\u2019s tenth anniversary speech \u2019cause it\u2019s a black thing.&#8221;  What would that have to do with it?  Well, Snerdley, of course, the Official Obama Criticizer, 100% pure, what is it, slave blood?  (interruption)  Right.  Certified.  That\u2019s absolutely right.  (interruption)  Well, the key is 10 years.  He\u2019s only been in office for like six.  I still think that you\u2019re trying to make me think that you\u2019re smarter than you are, but that\u2019s okay. You are a smart guy, there\u2019s no question about that. <\/line><\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_94036\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" alt=\"original\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/OOC.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Here\u2019s the deal, folks.  Today\u2019s the tenth anniversary of Obama\u2019s speech to the Democrat convention.  That\u2019s what put him on the map.  So the question is, are you better off today than you were 10 years ago?  Are you?  Are you better off today in the age of Obama than when we began the age of Obama?  Ten years ago Obama was a nobody.  Ten years ago he would have still been fetching Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy\u2019s coffee, as Bill Clinton reminded Ted Kennedy of in the 2008 campaign. (imitating Clinton) &#8220;Hey, you know, Ted, ha-ha-ha-ha, this guy would be fetching our coffee.&#8221; <\/line><\/p>\n<p>And then they heard about that at the Obama campaign so they threw the race card down on Clinton.  &#8220;Well, anybody can get the black vote in South Carolina,&#8221; something like that, and they threw the race card down on Clinton.  He\u2019s never forgotten it.  He\u2019s the first black president.  So 10 years ago, Obama, a nobody.  And now look where we are. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is the tenth anniversary of Obama, tenth anniversary of what, do you know?
