RUSH: Hey, stop the music, stop the theme. Would you play audio sound bite number one for me? I have to hear this before I actually use it in the show.<\/p>\n
OBAMA: When Aretha first told us what R-S-P-E-C-T (laughter) meant to her.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, okay, that\u2019s good. Hit the music again. I just had to determine how much laughter there was on that. ‘Cause I think the laughter goes on and on, and he doesn\u2019t know why. He doesn\u2019t know why people are laughing, because the guy was just reading it off the teleprompter. He probably never heard of the — well, I don\u2019t want to go there, I really don\u2019t. Well, actually I\u2019d love to go there, but I\u2019m not gonna go there, folks.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Everybody remembers Dan Quayle. He was at a grade school, it was a spelling bee. He went in there as vice president and was playing around with the kids, which is what politicians do because of course it\u2019s all for the children, which it is. That\u2019s why everybody does what they do, for the future, for the kids. Responsible people want to leave a country, culture, society in at least same shape they found it in. If it was pleasing to them, if it offered them opportunity, they want to pass it on. Most want to improve it. Most want to leave a better life for their kids. And so it\u2019s a custom for presidents, vice presidents, politicians to venture to schools now and then.<\/p>\n
Vice President Quayle participated in a spelling bee. The word was “potato,” and the spelling that he was given had an E on the end of it. And when the child spelled potato without pronouncing the E, the vice president called him on it. And said “Oops, oops, oops, sorry, you blew it, it\u2019s p-o-t-a-t-o-e.” “No, it\u2019s not, no E on there,” and Quayle, “Right here it is.” And that\u2019s all it took. From then on, Dan Quayle, biggest idiot on earth. And that image lasted for quite a while.<\/p>\n
Last night in the White House during the Women of Soul event, while there is war brewing in the Ukraine, and while people are continually losing their jobs and losing their health care, and people economically are at their wits\u2019 end, which is another thing the media hasn\u2019t reported, much less the truth about the Lois Lerner IRS situation. Do you know in five years the media has never really done a story or series of stories on people suffering economic hardship? Not one. That\u2019s just not gonna happen. They\u2019re not gonna blame Obama. In fact, if Obama says the economy\u2019s coming back and creating jobs, stimulus worked, that\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna report.<\/p>\n
There has not been a story or series of stories on people suffering, joblessness. In fact, we\u2019re not only not getting that, we\u2019re being told it\u2019s great to lose your job. Yes, funemployment was the first thing they coined <\/a>shortly after Obama was immaculated, funemployment. Yeah, lose your job and reconnect with your family. Lose your job and find what is important to you. Now lose your job and be liberated and discover the inner painter that is in you, or the inner poet that is in you. And we, the government, have made it possible for you to not have to work in order to get health care. So now you\u2019re not locked in to a job you hate. You don\u2019t have job lock anymore. You don\u2019t have a job, but you\u2019ve got health care. We have liberated you.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the kind of insulting pap that we\u2019ve got. The economy, job circumstance, situation, it\u2019s just a disaster, and it is worsening. The debt is worsening, the number of people thinking the government should provide for them is growing, and yet the Regime is partying on. Moochelle out vacationing, Obama. The Politico, another story today about, oh, my God, he\u2019s gonna have to delay his vacation because of the Ukraine situation. Oh no, our poor president, oh, no. They\u2019re really sad at The Politico. So they\u2019re partying on at the White House last night during the Women of Soul event, and President Obama said this about the singer Aretha Franklin.<\/p>\n
