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

RUSH: Obama\u2019s ripping America left and right across the sea. Grab sound bite 16. I mean, look at this. This is early Sunday morning in Malaysia. I guess Obama went over to try to find the jet, to help \u2019em out. No word on whether that\u2019s been successful. Anyway, Obama\u2019s meeting with the Malaysian prime minister, Najib Razak. <\/p>\n

They held a joint presser and during the Q&A… Have you seen some of the questions Obama\u2019s again getting over there? “Mr. President, are you getting sleep? Have you adjusted to jet lag?” “Mr. President, did you like your ice cream dessert that was served to you in the shape of Mount Fuji?” I\u2019m not kidding. These are press questions. These are questions that Obama is getting, according to pool reports. <\/line><\/p>\n

Julie Pace at the AP asked Obama if he slept well. Obama said, “I\u2019m still on 4 a.m. time,” and the press collectively thought, “Wow! What a brave guy, our Dear Leader.” Then Obama was asked about ice cream. Another reporter asked Obama if he liked the ice cream dessert in the shape of Mount Fuji served at the state dinner. <\/p>\n

Obama nodded, saying, “Yeah, they have the green tea at the bottom that I\u2019ve spoken of having when I was six and I was very pleased.” By the way, Obama talked about how being back in Malaysian reminds him of when he was 6-years-old and all. I thought, “Didn\u2019t Obama once tell us that his family took bus vacations up and down the coast of California staying in Howard Johnsons, \u2019cause that\u2019s all they could afford?” <\/p>\n

And all he needed was a pool and a soft drink and he was in there, as a little kid? <\/p>\n

The Greyhound Bus tour. That was the extent of Obama\u2019s summer vacations. He told us this when he was running for office. Now we find out that, as a kid, he was in Malaysia. I guess they have Howard Johnsons in Malaysia, \u2019cause he spent time there. Anyway, I have not lost my place. Major Garrett, at the joint presser today with Obama and Najib Razak, asked, “Human rights, racial tolerance, political accountability and free speech. <\/p>\n

“As you well know, Mr. President, those issues are up for grabs in Malaysia right now, and they\u00c2\u2019re probably best symbolized by the precarious legal position of Anwar Ibrahim, the opposition political leader in this country. Former Vice President Al Gore has taken up his cause, as has Human Rights Watch and other international lawyers interested in human rights. Can you explain, [Mr. Obama], why you have said nothing about these issues here in Malaysia…?”<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I think the prime minister is the first to acknowledge that, uh, Malaysia\u2019s still got some work to do — uh, just like the United States, by the way, has some work to do — on these issues. Uh, Human Rights Watch probably has a list of things they think we should be doing as a government.<\/p>\n
