RUSH: I’ll tell you, these guys at Politico.com, they are just all over everything. They have two stories on how Hillary is not paying her bills to all the vendors and people helping her campaign, including over $200,000 in health care premiums for her staff that she hasn’t paid. The Clinton campaign said, ‘We pay all of our bills on time.’ (laughter)
‘But a Politico examination determined that Obama was actually interviewed about the issues on the questionnaire by the liberal Chicago nonprofit group that issued it. And it found that Obama — the day after sitting for the interview — filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes added to one answer.’ This guy can no more tell the truth than Hillary Clinton can! You know the really mind-blowing thing about this? If I’m a Democrat and I’ve got these two to choose from, I’ve gotta be seriously suicidal. These people can’t tell the truth; they are trying to mask who they are. Obama, our last call said he’s a typical far left-winger. Of course he is. Look at his frickin’ preacher, for crying out loud! For 20 years, folks. This is not hard to figure out. You don’t even have to read between the lines on this. You don’t even have to be able to read the stitches on a fastball. And then here’s another one, you know, Washington Post had this Sunday. ‘Obama Overstates Kennedy’s Role in Helping his Father.’ You remember the Philadelphia speech?
‘Addressing civil rights activists in Selma a year ago, Obama traced his very existence to the generosity of the Kennedy family, which he said paid for his Kenyan father to travel to America on a student scholarship and thus meet his mother from Kansas. The Camelot connection has become part of the mythology surrounding Obama’s bid for the…’ blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. ‘It’s a touching story, but the key details are either untrue or grossly oversimplified. Contrary to Obama’s claims in speeches in January at American University and in Selma last year, the Kennedy family did not provide the funding for a September ’59 airlift of 81 Kenyan students to the US that included Obama’s father. According to historical records and interviews with participants, the Kennedys were first approached for support for the program nearly a year later. The family did grant a hundred thousand dollars, most of which went to pay for a second airlift Obama’s dad was not on.’ This is no different than getting off the plane and avoiding snipper fire in Tuzla, Bosnia! These people are just… (sigh) I’m sorry. The word ‘liar,’ I’m getting so sick and tired of saying it. I need a new word. Prevaricator?
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know, this lying business, we learned from the nineties that people don’t care. People don’t care if politicians lie, especially Democrats. They don’t care. In fact, if the lie sounds good, Democrats want to believe it’s true anyway. Their whole world is a fantasy, anyway. Why not accept what Obama and Hillary say? It’s no big deal.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: No, I’m serious. I think it’s a mistake. I think it’s a mistake to keep focusing on the fact that Clinton and Obama lie. We gotta focus on their liberalism. We learned from the nineties, liberals don’t care if their candidates lie. Obama lies through his teeth constantly, so does Hillary. Hell, folks, even Frank Rich in his column yesterday in which he basically said that Hillary’s Bosnia lie was the last straw, it wasn’t that she lied that bothered him. It’s that she kept it up after it was discovered so blatantly to be a lie. The lie didn’t bother anybody. It’s that she was not smart enough to stop lying when everybody knew it was a lie. Obama, his appeal so far is that nobody cares what Obama says. He’s this blank slate. So I give you an example. By the way, greetings and welcome back, it’s the Rush Limbaugh program here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and the telephone number is 800-282-2882. We’ll get to your phone calls here in an el jiffo. Obama gave an economic speech last week, and in that speech, he lectured everybody on the ethic of greed in the home lending industry.
Yet he does that while buying his own home that he couldn’t afford. He took advantage of the help of Tony Rezko, a racketeer, and his wife. I don’t think Tony Rezko’s ever been known for his ethics. I mean, that was one of the themes of Obama’s big economic speech last week: greed and ethics in the home buying markets. It’s like George Will said yesterday on This Week. They all talk about ‘predatory lending,’ and George Will said, ‘Define it.’ George Will is up against four liberals if you count Stephanopoulos, the host, in the roundtable — and the liberals kept talking about ‘predatory lending,’ and Will said, ‘Define it.’ The point was, that George Will was making, how come all of you liberals want to make all these borrowers out to be absolute dunces who haven’t the slightest idea what an ARM is? What does Adjustable Rate Mortgage mean? You go out and you take an Adjustable Rate Mortgage, you are being told, ‘It can change.’ Your interest rate might go up. When it did, everybody was (crying), ‘It’s not fair! I can’t afford my house payment. (crying) I would like…’ Predatory lending.
They hate the insurance industry, hate the health industry. Everybody’s a crook. Everybody is stealing from the little guy. Everybody’s making it impossible for the little guy to be happy. You talk about greed and unethical behavior? There’s plenty of it in the way Obama bought his house — in my opinion, anyway. So where does he come off talking about greed or ethics involving home loans and purchases, when he got sweetheart deals? As did his pastor! He went out and bought $1.6 million house for the old preacher and a $10 million line of credit. What’s that $10 million line of credit for, and who gets it? So it’s going to be interesting. We gotta learn the lessons of the past. Liberal Democrats don’t care that their candidates lie. When they start caring is when their candidates get caught and keep lying and making it tough to get away with the lie.
