OBAMA: You’ve got a business, you didn’t build that! Somebody else made that happen!
RUSH: See, I know he stuck that in there right when I’m talking about what we built.
(interruption)
That’s right! I didn’t do anything. In fact, you know what, folks? I wouldn’t have amounted to a hill of beans if it weren’t for Ronaldus Magnus. If Reagan hadn’t gotten rid of the Fairness Doctrine, none of this woulda happened. That’s exactly right. That’s what the left will say. That’s what they say. Oh, yeah!

I never met Reagan, to tell you the truth, but…
(interruption)
Well, that’s right. See, it was Clinton that actually made it possible. For you listeners in the media, Clinton made my program popular. Clinton being elected, that’s what made this program launch.
OBAMA: You didn’t build that! Somebody else made that happen!
RUSH: Right. See, I’ve never done anything on my own. Nothing that I did here has had anything to do with the success of the program. First it was Reagan and the Fairness Doctrine; then Clinton got elected, and that’s all it took. And that’s why we’ve succeeded.
