Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You keep waiting for this soap opera to subside and it doesn't.
It just keeps intensifying.
And of course, there's no better place than here.
The Rush Limbaugh program and the EIB network to keep up with it.
Such fun.
Great to have you with us, folks.
As you know, it's Friday live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Lime Friday.
This is a day that we all look forward to here at the EIB network.
Perhaps not so much Mr. Snurgly, but all the rest of us, it's exciting.
Because when we go to the telephones on Friday, this show belongs to the callers.
Monday through Thursday, this is about what I care about only.
I am a benevolent dictator.
On this program, nobody has the right to speak unless I grant it, other than me, which is universal.
Nobody has the right to be heard unless I grant it.
On Friday, we relax the rules somewhat.
And if you don't have anything to talk about that I care about, that's okay.
I will fake it.
So here's the number, 800.
Be creative, folks.
800-282-2882 is the telephone number.
And the email address, lrushbo at eibnet.com.
The Kenyans are mad.
The Kenyans are mad.
Kenyan elders have demanded an apology from Washington, ahead of a planned protest over the controversial photograph of Barack Obama, the man whose name must not be mentioned in the traditional Somali dress.
The picture appeared in the Drudge Report, showed, of course, Obama dressed up like Ayman Al-Zawahiri.
The photo took center stage at an increasingly acrimonious race for the White House.
Obama's aides accusing Hillary Clinton's camp of the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering after it was published.
Of course, Michelle Obama is now saying something different than that.
The fear bomb is Obama's middle name.
That's what she said.
We have that soundbite coming up.
Actually, Michelle, that's not the fear bomb.
The fear bomb is the word liberal.
And that is the word we are not going to stop using here in describing you and your husband on the EIB network.
Now, the dispute over the Obama photo has angered many in Kenya who resent the implication that Obama did anything wrong.
The residents there plan to demonstrate after Friday prayers today to show their support for Obama.
Mohamed Ibrahim, who attended a crisis meeting yesterday by Klan members, who Klan members who hosted Obama said the U.S. government must apologize to us as a Klan and the old man.
We have been offended.
We cannot afford to just watch and stay silent.
He also said that it was essential that Mrs. Clinton clear her name, too.
The old man in question was the retired chief, Sheikh Mohammed Hassan.
If there was no apology, the elders would demand the expulsion of U.S. troops based in the western town of Garissa in Kenya.
So how must this feel for the Clintons to be, you know, have some Africans demanding that they apologize along with Washington for what happened?
I'll tell you what, this is, this is, look at what the Democrats have done here.
Look at the respect for this nation that they are causing nations to lose.
The Kenyans loved us until the Clintons came along with this Obama photo.
And here you have the Clintons' first foreign policy flap before election day.
What are these Democrats doing causing such disregard for the United States of America?
Look at the respect that we're losing around the world for planting this picture.
Mrs. Clinton planted with the Drudge Report of Obama looking like Eamon Al-Zawahiri.
Got to hear this, too.
This is McCain in Richardson, Texas, yesterday at a town hall meeting.
I'm a proud conservative, liberal conservative Republican.
Hello, easy there.
Let me say this: I am a proud conservative Republican, and both of my possible or likely opponents today are liberal Democrats.
Okay, a faux pas or what?
Wait, you haven't heard what's funny yet.
If you're laughing at this, you haven't heard what's funny yet.
This morning on Scarborough Show, PMS NBC Willie Geist says this about what you just heard.
I heard Rush Limbaugh barking in his head.
Slipped up a little bit.
Perhaps Freudian, perhaps not.
It was my fault because I have been barking in McCain's head.
It was my fault.
See, everything McCain does is caused by that damn limbaugh.
Now they're blaming me for his faux pas, his slip up.
Here's Michelle Obama, by the way.
This is yesterday in Canton, Ohio.
They threw in the obvious ultimate fear bomb that we're even hearing now.
They said his name.
They said, look out for his name.
When all else fails, be afraid of his name and what that could stand for because it's different.
I still say that they're making too big a deal out of there.
You know, they're acting awfully defensive about this.
His name is his name.
Yes, Mr. Snerdley, what was she?
She didn't say the name.
The name is the fear bomb.
She's not allowed to do what?
Well, apparently not.
I mean, I think nobody's supposed to say the name.
Pretty soon it's going to end up this guy, Obama is going to be the man whose name cannot be mentioned.
Period.
Either Obama or Barack, much less Hussein.
Don't tell anybody I said that.
This is between you and us, folks.
You and me, we whispered.
Nobody could hear it.
Michelle Obama not finished.
She's really on a roll.
Byron York, National Review online today.
Basically, Michelle Obama, let's see, Zanesville, Ohio, met with a group of women at a local daycare center.
Now, Byron York did some research here.
According to the U.S. Census, the county, Muskingum County, where Zanesville is, had a median household or median household income of $37,192 in 2004.
That's below both the Ohio and national averages.
Just 12.2% of adults in the county have a bachelor's degree or higher, also well below the state and national averages.
About 20% of this county do not have a Haskruel degree.
Nevertheless, Michelle Obama urged them to forswear lucrative professions like corporate law or hedge fund management and go into the helping industry.
She says she complained about the lasting burden of student loans dating from her days at Princeton and Harvard law.
She talks about people who end up taking years and years until middle age to pay off their debts.
The salaries don't keep up with the cost of paying off the debt.
So when you're 40, still paying off your debt at a time when you have to save for your kids.
Barack and I were in that position, said Michelle.
The only reason we're not in that position is that Barack wrote two best-selling books.
It was like Jack and his magic beans.
But up until a few years ago, we were struggling to figure out how we would save for our kids.
We left corporate America, which is a lot of what we're asking young people to do, she tells the women at the daycare center.
Don't go into corporate America.
You know, become teachers, work for the community, be social workers, be a nurse.
Those are the careers we need, and we're encouraging our young people to do that.
But if you make that choice, as we did, to move out of the money-making industry into the helping industry, then your salaries respond.
Yeah, they plummet.
They plummet.
Faced with that reality, she says many of our bright stars are going into corporate law or hedge fund management.
Now, what she doesn't mention is that the helping industry has treated her pretty well.
In 2006, the Chicago Tribune reported that her compensation at the University of Chicago Hospital, where she was a vice president for community affairs, jumped from $121,900 in 2004 to $316,962 in 2005, just after her husband took office.
That doesn't count the money Mrs. Obama receives from serving on corporate boards.
She would have been okay even without Jack's magic beans.
So this is, again, here you have two people that are trying to pass themselves off as something that they are not, and that is in financial straits, and encouraging people not to incur the financial straits they did by don't even earn a lot of money.
Because if you don't go to college, you don't have the student loans.
If you don't have a student loans, you don't have a lot of debt.
Just go out there and help people.
Just go out there and help.
Now, you might say that, well, Russia, I mean, this is not all that bad.
I mean, it's not a bad idea.
Well, it's this is not the American dream.
These things are.
She's telling them, don't do what you want to do.
Do what we think you should do.
Don't find your own dreams.
Don't find your own avocation and vocation.
Don't find your own passion.
Let us, let us, Barack and me, tell you what you should do.
Let us help you avoid the pain that we have experienced.
Of course, the pain that they have experienced has led him to becoming the first historic black candidate for president of the United States.
It gets even better from the Los Angeles Times.
They came to cheer.
They got a lecture.
The crowd went wild during a Barack Obama town hall meeting on the economy.
The people turned to education, or topic turned to education, which the Illinois senator said could not be remedied by spending alone.
It doesn't matter how much money we put in if parents don't parent, he scolded.
The line is one of the Democrat delivers often.
Obama delivers it often, but on Thursday in Beaumont, Texas, he struck a remarkable chord with his mostly African-American audience.
It's not good enough for you to say to your child, do good in school.
And then when that child comes home, you got the TV set on.
You got the radio on.
You don't check their homework.
There's not a book in the house.
You got the video game playing.
Every line punctuated by a roar.
Obama began to shout, falling into a preacher's rhythm.
Am I right?
So turn off the TV set.
Put the video game away.
Buy a little desk or put that child at the kitchen table.
Watch them do their homework.
If they don't know how to do it, give them help.
If you don't know how to do it, call a teacher.
By now, the crowd of nearly 2,000 was lifted from the red velveteen seats of the Julie Rogers Theater, hands raised to the gilded ceiling.
Make them go to bed at a reasonable time.
Keep them off the streets.
Give them some breakfast.
Come on, can I get an amen here? said Barack Obama to the crowd.
And the crowd went nuts.
You know I'm right, Obama said.
And since I'm on a roll, if your child misbehaves at school, don't cuss out the teacher.
You know I'm right about that.
Don't cuss out the teacher.
Do something with your child.
And then pandemonium erupted.
All right, all right, settle down.
We're having too much fun here.
I'm speaking the truth.
So the crowd in Beaumont, Texas went wild as Obama tells them basic information on child rearing.
Give them some breakfast.
Yeah!
As though it was a new concept.
As though they couldn't think of this on their own.
Wash your hands after using the bathroom.
Yeah!
Don't stay out in the rain.
Come in out of the rain.
Look both ways before crossing the street.
Yeah.
One thing he didn't say was teach him how to get a job.
But look at, I know some of you are thinking, Rush, what's wrong with that advice?
What in the world is wrong with that advice?
Doesn't it bother you folks that basic child rearing is being taught as part of a presidential campaign?
By the way, when Michelle Obama starts slamming the hedge fund business, one prominent person that we all know is in the hedge fund business.
Among many others, Chelsea Clinton is in the hedge fund business.
Ladies and gentlemen, as far as Obama's speech in Beaumont, Texas, don't misunderstand.
I have no problem with that kind of instruction to kids, parents, you know, taking their responsibilities as parents seriously.
But don't forget, Bill Cosby tried that same thing, and they practically ran him out of the race.
They practically ran him out of the race.
And Obama, I think, is plagiarizing me when he starts that little speech by saying, we've thrown enough money at this.
It's time for you to get involved.
That's plagiarism of El Rushball and conservatism.
It's just when I look at the fact that this is a movement and not a political campaign, and that the attachment to Obama is based on faith.
Here you have people who have no slightest idea.
This is going to be really tough, folks.
Here you have people who haven't the slightest idea, apparently, how to raise their own kids.
Otherwise, this kind of message would not be receiving standing ovations.
Now, Sturdley's frowning at me on this, but Mr. Sterdley, you know I am always two days ahead of things.
I'm always way ahead of things on this.
And I know if you just take this for what it is, Rush, how can you oppose it?
I'm looking down the road.
I'm looking down the road at how are we going to beat this guy?
If he is building up this kind of faith attachment on this kind of, if the president of the United States is going to be elected by teaching people how to raise their kids, while at the same time making blunder after blunder after blunder when he opens his mouth about foreign policy, do you realize what there's a Canadian TV has got this story and they're not going to reveal their source.
There's some people denying this.
But after the debate, apparently, Tuesday night, where both Clinton and Obama just trashed NAFTA, Clinton, apparently Clinton did too, or Obama called some people in Canada and say, hey, Daddy, look, we're not going to mess up the relationship we have with you vis-a-vis NAFTA.
It's just politics.
It's just politics.
I just have to say this kind of thing.
You know, I'm in a primary campaign.
I got a lot of people who don't like NAFTA.
Now, Canadian officials are denying it, and Obama's denying it, but the CTV network is standing by the story.
I don't know whether it's true or not, but it's something that's totally believable.
These are people who will tell their audience anything, say whatever, in order to get votes, win an election, and so forth, and then revert to form afterwards.
I mean, the idea these guys are going to do anything about NAFTA is ridiculous.
It's not going to happen.
Mrs. Clinton can sit there and say, I'm going to renegotiate it on more favorable terms and so forth.
It's all BS.
It's literal BS, but they're in Ohio, and there's people in Ohio and Zanesville and other places, Youngstown that they're trying to make out like ghost towns that think they want to blame NAFTA for this.
Speaking of all this, a fascinating story today where this is in the Washington Times.
High costs force Chinese firms to move to cheaper options.
Outsourcing has hit the hub of China's Pearl River Delta with soaring costs, pushing the world's long-time workshop for low-cost goods to move its factories overseas.
Rising raw material prices and energy prices, the strengthening of the one against the dollar, and new business regulations are forcing labor-intensive factories, particularly those in footwear, toy, and clothing, to hunt for rock-bottom production costs elsewhere.
Many Chinese factories are moving out.
They're moving abroad to low-cost countries like Vietnam and Indonesia, while others are seeking cheaper places to do business in China.
Whoa!
We're losing, China's losing its manufacturing base to Indonesia and Vietnam.
Hong Kong business associations are predicting that more than 10,000 factories will disappear from China from the Pearl River Delta over the next few months.
Now, did China sign a NAFTA agreement?
No, because they're not in North America, but they have any kind of free trade deal anywhere.
This is China's infusion of capitalism while they try to hold on to their strict authoritarian control over society.
So far, they're succeeding in doing that.
But look at what happens when market forces are in play.
No matter where you go, businesses are going to seek the lowest cost for things.
The idea that Clinton or Obama are going to do anything about NAFTA, the idea that we have Obama getting serious applause for instruction on how to raise kids while making a literal fool of himself when he opens his mouth talking about foreign policy,
is something that's going to have to be dealt with by McCain and the Republicans because it's going to be difficult to separate people who have this attachment to Obama based purely on faith and none on...
substance.
A man, a living legend.
Hey, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, a way of life Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, on Open Line Friday.
Bill Clinton, all upset, ladies and gentlemen.
He's out now.
He's starting to take shots at Obama on his message of hope.
Now, if I recall, wasn't there a video at the 1992 Democrat Convention in New York?
It was produced by Linda Bloodworth and Harry Thomason.
And it was entitled A Man from Hope.
So Bill Clinton attacking his own message as it is being delivered by Barack Obama.
I also have to note, here you have Michelle Obama getting all upset here.
The fear bomb.
People are throwing the fear bomb by using her husband's middle name.
For those of you that don't know what it is, it's Hussein.
And by the way, as I pointed out yesterday, the first people to put all this out there were Democrats.
It was Bob Kerry, former Nebraska senator, who went speech after speech after speech, Barack Hussein Obama.
It was Bill Shaheen, Clinton co-chair of New Hampshire, raised the specter that, well, you know, the Republicans are going to not stop with the fact that he admits he used drugs.
They're going to start asking if he sold cocaine and so forth.
It was the Democrats that put all of this out there, including the middle name business, including Obama being a drug lord, and any number of other criticisms of Obama.
This is their M.O.
They put it out there.
It's like Al Gore was the first guy to ever mention Willie Horton.
Somehow the Republicans get blamed for all this.
But here's this.
This is my take on it.
Michelle Obama runs around and everybody, Obama himself acting terribly offended at the use of his middle name.
The media now coming to their defense.
The media circling the wagons.
Cable news networks, others in the drive-by talking about the hate mongers on the right, of course, that are using the name.
Because it what?
Because it conjures up anti-Muslim feelings.
This is the same drive-by media that trashed Mitt Romney and his religion.
The same media that trashed Romney and Mormonism are now circling the wagons to protect Obama from any association with Muslimism because of his middle name.
Romney went out and gave a speech about it to deal with the attacks on his religion that were coming from the drive-by media.
He went down to Texas, in fact, at the George H.W. Bush Library and made a speech.
Will Obama make a speech about this?
No way, folks.
Obama too busy telling people how to raise their kids.
He forgot to tell them to brush their teeth at night, too.
By the way, and everything else that was going on.
And Democrats continue to just be obsessed with race.
Do you see the Washington Post today?
It's a story by Paul Farrey, who does their media reporting at the Washington Post.
Did Saturday Night Live go beyond the pale with Obama?
When Barack Obama announced his candidacy for, it's the left.
I'm telling you, they are obsessed with all.
They're obsessed with race, obsessed with gender, sexual orientation.
You know, you would think that liberals would get exhausted dwelling on race politically.
Now they have extended their obsession to entertainment.
When Obama announced his candidacy for president last year, some observers questioned whether the senator from Illinois was black enough to embody the hopes and aspirations of African Americans.
Well, you know, that's another thing.
It was the libs that put that out there.
It was Democrats.
Is he black enough?
It wasn't us.
It was guys like Biden.
Hey, you know, it's about time our side got a clean, articulate black guy in our presidential race.
I mean, they were, is he down for the struggle?
Does he have he's not?
I have to tell you something.
His mother was white.
His father was Kenyan.
He grew up in Hawaii, other places.
He doesn't have the traditional, and from what I've read about Michelle Obama, her childhood and life were not spent particularly absorbing the lessons of the civil rights movement in the era.
These are two people that have largely been, I don't know what, immune or removed from the standard African-American experience in this country.
There is no they're there when you talk about being down for the struggle or being part of the civil rights movement.
There is no they're there in that sense.
I mean, these are, Obama is, his mother was white, and that Saturday Night Live went out and did a Fobama character to use a white guy to play Obama.
And the Democrats are just ringing their hands.
Oh, no.
Clinton called Saturday Night Live, called Tina Faye to thank her for the skit that they did portraying the media's bias toward Obama.
Other liberals are calling Saturday Night Live giving them grief for using somebody that wasn't African-American as a white comedian to portray Fobama.
I think in terms of race, I think both these Obamas are sort of, they don't have a racial identity.
You know, they don't.
I think that they're trying to plug themselves into various holes within the civil rights movement to appear to be down for the struggle and so forth.
Michelle, probably more so than Obama, because of her thesis.
I mean, she had some the usual anger and bitterness and so forth.
But Barack himself, in terms of being down for the struggle, I know she's down for the struggle.
That's true.
She wasn't proud of America until recently.
You're right, Snerley.
You're right.
But Barack, you know, there's no question he wasn't down for the struggle.
I mean, he didn't know what the struggle was.
He had other struggles, but he didn't have this.
Anyway, Fred Armison, who is not African-American, he played the Fobama character on Saturday Night Live last Saturday, being asked if he's black enough, which is the same thing a Democrats asked about Obama himself early on.
Debate over that question has been pinging around the internet ever since Armison, who's a veteran cast member at Saturday Night Live, donned darker makeup to portray Obama.
He played Obama opposite Amy Poehler's Hillary Clinton in a sketch satirizing the supposedly cushy treatment that his candidacy has received from the media.
Nobody much cared about Armison's racial background.
He is of white and Asian heritage when he played Prince, when he played Steve Jobs during seasons past on Saturday Night Live, nor did it seem to matter that Daryl Hammond, who is white, has impersonated the Reverend Jackson for years, or that Billy Crystal played Sammy Davis Jr., by the way, to a T.
But now Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune is asking bluntly, call me crazy, but shouldn't Saturday Night Live fictional Senator Barack Obama be played by an African American?
I mean, I find SNL's choice inexplicable.
Obama's candidacy gives a solid proof of the progress that African Americans have made in this country.
I guess SNL still has further to go on that front.
Hannah Poole, writer for the Guardian newspaper in Great Britain, suggests the whole thing had minstrel overtones using a white candidate with dark makeup.
So the left wringing their hands, well, this is a liberal show, liberal writers, liberal comedians, liberal producer, liberal network, liberal everything, making fun of Obama as Fobama by using a white guy.
And now the liberals in the drive-byers are wringing their hands.
Oh, this is hard.
Don't you, they would just at some point get exhausted with all of this focus on surface matters?
I guess my question to Lauren Michaels, who is the grand poo-bah of Saturday Night Live, what?
Can't you find a qualified black man to play a black man?
That would be my question.
You have to go out there and find some white Asian guy?
What's the message here?
This is the Democrats are asking this.
You mean in 2008, in the United States of America, with as much emancipation as there's been, you can't find a qualified black guy to play a black guy on a comedy show?
Here's Don.
Don's in San Antonio as we started on the phones today.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Welcome to Open Line Friday.
Rush, second time in a long time, my man.
I appreciate that.
Look at here.
I, as a Huckabee supporter, would like to apologize to you for all the other Huckabee supporters who happen to call you and call you a liar and everything.
I thought one of the most brilliant dialogues that you had done in a while was when you explained the very different types of conservatives that are found in America.
And I think it opened the eyes of a lot of people.
It helped me to see that, guess what?
I'm a social conservative.
That's just how I am.
And with that being said, I would like to know, and I'm going to put a little caveat on this, since you love golf like I do, do you think Huckabee can make a run like Tiger did in his match play from last week?
I mean, win the nomination?
Yes, somehow, some way.
Yeah, I don't think it's too late.
The delegate math just works totally against Governor Huckabee.
I got you.
I got you.
Plus, the money.
I mean, this is, you know, Huckabee's, Huckabee's hang.
Huckabee's gotten to the point now, he's asking for scandal stories on himself.
He wants, after the McCain scandal story, Huckabee, why not me?
Will the New York Times do a scandal story on me?
But he's, you know, Huckabee's, Huckabee's got his supporters still, and he's staying in this for his own reasons that I think have to do with having some say-so at the convention on things and maybe forging a path for future electoral office.
Some people starting to urge him to run for the Senate from Arkansas.
But I'm glad you saw the light out there.
I'm glad I was helpful in illuminating the light for you.
And thank God you can still use an incandescent because if you had to lose or use a compact fluorescent, the light from those things are pretty harsh, and it might have looked ugly what I had said to you had you had compact fluorescence.
So God bless you, sir.
God bless you.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back and continue here after this.
I just got a note from noted white comedian Paul Shanklin.
This is, you may, you better think about reigning it in here today.
You're sounding dangerously close to becoming an Obama phobe.
Obama phobe.
That's a new word.
We've created here a new word, an obamophobe.
By the way, this Saturday Night Live business.
If you noticed how much whining there's going on in the Democrat Party, Obama can't say the middle name, can't call me liberal.
Michelle Obama, it's the fear bomb.
These people are whining and moaning left and right.
The Clintons are whining and moaning about how unfair they're being treated by the drive-by media.
Then Saturday Night Live turns around and took the Clinton side in this Obama business.
And now the Clintons are being treated just like Republicans are by the drive-by media.
The Clintons, the biggest thing, I don't think they anticipated this, but Bill and Hillary Clinton in the Democrat primary have become the equivalent of Republicans as far as the drive-by media is concerned.
Remember the fuss that the drive-bys made over white comedian Paul Shanklin during our airing of Barack the Magic Negro, which again was a Democrat-inspired parody.
Noted white comedian Paul Shanklin.
Well, we got a white comedian playing Faubama on Saturday Night Live.
And a skit which favored the Clintons, and the drive-bys are out attacking this guy and Saturday Night Live like they attacked us and noted white comedian Paul Shanklin.
I don't think Clinton's ever planned on this.
To end up being treated like Republicans in the drive-by media.
But this whining, and I'm serious about this, this is unbecoming people seeking the highest office in the land.
All of this whining and moaning and complaining about names and labels and so forth and so on.
It also, ladies and gentlemen, bothers a new sponsor here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, Calypso Louis Farrakhan.
That thin skin-thickening stuff, it really works.
Uptight, everything's all right.
Okay.
Brian in Seattle, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Hey, he ought to drop the middle name because no one before Quincy Adams had one anyway.
Dittos from beneath the space needle rushed.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Great to have you from wherever you are.
Yes, indeed.
You know, out here in Seattle, I'm curious.
I'm hoping you either know or maybe have a theory as to why Bill Buckley, the so-called godfather of the modern American conservative movement, seemed to disfavor a genre that is dominated by conservatism.
Of course, I'm talking about News Talk Radio.
Now, he may have done your show, and he may have done a handful of others, but I never in many years of waiting heard him do an interview show on a News Talk radio program, local or national.
You mean with him as the guest?
With him as the guest where you could call in.
I heard him interviewed a few times, but I never heard him available to call.
Why did he seem to favor television, you know, firing line on all the rest?
Why did he seem to favor television over radio, do you suppose?
Well, I don't know that he eschewed radio.
Anytime I wanted him to come on, he did.
And I think television was his first media foray.
And he was part of his showmanship was the visual.
By the way, Rush, how well did you know a man that I knew a little, but you must have known him well, Warren Steibel, his longtime producer?
Yeah, quite well.
The first time I appeared on Firing Line, it was at Buckley's house, the Masonet on 73rd Street.
And Warren Steibel ran into him a number of times.
He was a longtime producer of Firing Line.
And it was one of the very enigmatic characters around Buckley that were it not for Buckley, Warren Steibel may not have worked in television.
He was just a very close confidant.
I'll have to tell you some stories about that.
But sadly, the constraints of time have frozen us.
All right.
The first hour is in the can here, folks.
We got two more to go here on Open Line Friday.
And I have a couple of women telling me that I am totally misunderstanding Michelle Obama's references to kids not to go into hedge fund work.
