Time Text
Hang on, I did late arriving email.
Nobody will leave me alone.
Nobody will leave me alone.
Congress.
All right, it's not important.
I'll read it later.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence and Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
We are here at 800-282-2882, and the email address is L Rushmo at EIBNet.com.
I did get an email during the break.
Somebody said, you know, I think I think Russian and watching the media here, I think the media is starting to turn a little on Obama, too.
I think I think they're not really as enamored of Obama.
I disagree totally.
I mean, I think the media goes back and forth on the Democrat side just to keep themselves entertained.
But the way the drive-by's are looking at this right, they love Obama again.
They love him, of course.
He weathered their storm.
They threw everything they had at him.
They threw Reverend Wright, they threw this race speech, they threw everything at him out there.
And he's weathered their storm.
And the way the drive-by's operate, if you can weather our storm, they say, then you have what it takes.
And so I've I right now I don't see any evidence of them turning on Obama.
I mean, they've already turned on Hillary is who they're turning on.
And uh, you know, more and more people from the Hillary camp now starting to endorse Obama.
The latest is uh Amy Klobushar, who's Senator Where, H.R. from Wisconsin, right?
Correct.
I usually am.
Uh, and there will be others that come down the road.
Uh we'll get back to this in just a second, but first, I don't know how many of you watched 60 Minutes last night for the Al Gore Puff piece with Leslie Stahl on the um on a global warming hoax.
I did not.
See, I've seen some excerpts uh today, uh, but I did not see it.
But here's the headlines of Mike Allen, Politico.com.
Gore launches 300 million dollar campaign.
Former vice perpetrator Al Gore, launching a 300 million bipartisan campaign to try to push climate change higher on the nation's political agenda.
Now I know that many of you, when you either read this or saw this, probably had a negative reaction.
Oh my gosh, they're just not gonna quit.
We're gonna be fighting this too, along with other aspects of the economy.
That was not my take.
My take was this.
How much publicity has Al Gore gotten on his global warming movement?
He's gotten more publicity than he could buy.
He's gotten a movie of his, which of course played, and it got an Academy Award, which called more attention to it, and it was in movies.
In South Florida and in other parts of the country, screw children were being forced to watch his movie, an inconvenient truth.
Apparently, the American people are either too dumb to get his message on global warming from his award-winning science fiction thriller and inconvenient truth.
So now he's got to go out and spend an additional $300 million to try to propagandize them.
Uh, you know me, I'm I'm an eternal optimist, and that's how I see this campaign.
Why they have to spend $300 million if uh if if the first stuff was so successful.
Obviously, it wasn't.
But this story, this story gets even better.
The three-year campaign by the Alliance for Climate Protection will begin Wednesday with the network television advertising that'll include American Idol and other non-traditional shows that reach a non-news audience.
Uh Pat Robertson and Al Sharpton just filmed an ad together in the Wii campaign.
Uh Sharpton and Pat Robertson sitting on a couch on the beach.
In the ad, which is now being produced, they say that while they may not agree on many things, they do agree that they have to work to save the planet.
A future couple in the strange bedfellows or unlikely alliances spot will be recorded soon.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich will film a television commercial for Al Gore's 300 million dollar bipartisan propaganda campaign to push climate change higher on the nation's political agenda.
Global warming, let me sum it up for you, the man-made global warming hoax in two relatively easy to understand points.
The sole purpose of this campaign, a man-made global warming, is to convince more and more Americans and citizens of the world to turn over more and more of their liberty to big government and to allow big government to have more and more control over private sector businesses.
It's nothing more than a disguised government expansion program, typical liberalism.
The second thing global warming is a financial scam.
It is an attempt to turn carbon dioxide into gold.
To blame carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas for the destruction of the climate, for the undesired, unwanted change of the climate.
Now, you know, in as schemes go and as frauds go, this is pretty brilliant.
Because global warming supposedly caused by carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is one of the most plentiful substances, gases, elements, whatever you want to call it in the world.
We exhale it.
This is it's being now called a pollutant.
It's said to be the number one problem facing the climate and the world because there's so much of it, and we continue to increase our output of CO2 caused called our carbon footprint.
And so McCain's on this too.
The Save the Country Act, or I don't know what is global warming deal with Lieberman that was authored three or four years ago and has been updated last year, this 2007, creates a scheme whereby businesses are told how much they can pollute.
Quote unquote pollute, how much carbon, CO2 they can emit.
And if they go, if they if they are under their allowance, they can sell what they haven't used to other companies and businesses who have gone over.
And the price, they tried this in Europe, and they were going to charge $40 a pound or some such thing.
And it was just a it was a giant boondoggle.
It came, the price ended up being 40 cents, and there was no incentive to do it, and nobody participated in the program because it was voluntary at first.
But it's it's it's just it's an attempt for people to run scams using your guilt at being a polluter and destroying the planet to turn your exhalations and something like carbon dioxide into gold for people who can figure out a way to get you to give them money on the pretext that carbon dioxide is a pollutant that is uh altering the climate in a in a destructive way.
And the sad thing is that there's so many gullible suckers who will glom onto this because who wants the planet to be harmed?
Nobody does.
Nobody's for dirty air, nobody's for dirty water.
Everybody wants the polar bears to survive.
Everybody wants everything to just be fine.
Nobody wants their kids unhappy, that animals are being killed, that the ice is melting, that the penguins don't have anywhere to go.
It's it's made to order for the gullible and for the well-intentioned people that do gooders and so forth out there who also have been convinced after 20 years of this campaign that they are the culprits, that they are responsible for it.
Everybody wants to matter.
Everybody wants their life to have meaning.
And so if they can be fooled into thinking that they are going to pay for their carbon footprint, that that will help clean up the planet and prevent this destructive climate change, they'd be more than happy to do it.
Meanwhile, the people to whom they're paying are going to be laughing all the way to the bank because it's just one Of the biggest scams to come down the pike.
The only the one thing about this that to me is encouraging is that Gore's movie didn't do its job.
And all the free publicity and all the propaganda did not do its job, otherwise there'd be no need for this $300 million campaign.
The really disgusting, distressing thing is to see so many Republicans get sucked into this.
All right, all right, all right, all right, Amy Klobusharz in Wisconsin.
No, it's a Minnesota, not Wisconsin, Minnesota, now Wisconsin.
People in one in was in Wisconsin are outraged and offended.
And I apologize for that.
I was fed false information, but of course, and I can't slough it off to anybody else.
I should have known if I'm gonna rely on faulty information is my problem.
And so the person on my staff who gave me the wrong data shall not be named.
Nor shall that person be reprimanded, because that's it wasn't snurdly, I'll just thirdly once it went.
It uh it wasn't him.
Have you seen this in the Boston Globe today?
This is this is this is hilarious.
Tobacco.
Big tobacco funded Massachusetts researchers.
The nation's largest cigarette maker has paid for scientific research at four Massachusetts University since 2000.
A practice that critics of the tobacco industry likened to the mafia underwriting crime fighting.
Philip Morris, which makes Marlborough and other top-selling cigarette lines gave grants to scientists at Boston University, Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT, and the University of Massachusetts.
Now, I don't care what it was for.
The point about this is universities are just whores, and they will take money from anybody.
Even while professors on their faculty are out there reaming all these tobacco companies and other unacceptable corporate elements, which to liberals would include most corporate elements.
While they're out there ripping them to shreds and trying to destroy them, their universities have the hands open and will take money from virtually anyone.
All right, back to the audio sound bites.
Morton Kondraki, apoplectic, he says I was.
After McCain's speech, Deltway Boys Fox News channel, he was with Bill Salmon filling in for Fred Barnes.
This was Saturday.
And Bill Salmon says, no matter who gets to be president in November, I think there's going to be at least a slight cooling of U.S. Russia relations, but if it's McCain, I think we're in for a deep chill.
Yeah.
Well, your friend Rush Limbaugh, who I I heard talking about the speech, was apoplectic.
He said that uh that McCain is now siding with our enemies.
Guess who our enemies are?
The Europeans, you know, that we fought all these wars alongside.
Uh look, I like the speech, and it and it indicated that McCain plans to be different in tone, at least, from the f Bush first term, where Cheney and Rumsfeld were basically um sticking their elbow in in in every country's eye and and pretending that we could rule the world by ourselves, which which they can't.
This is scary because now Mort Kondracki's moderate lib.
Uh, and he's articulating here what he wants the Republican Party to be.
Can we can we go back to the first term?
What what happened in Bush's first term?
And somebody just off top your head, what's the first thing?
No, that's not what happened.
What happened in Bush's first term?
Come on, first 9-11, right.
I wonder how many of you out there were the first thing that came to your mind was 9-11 when I said name something that happened in Bush's first term.
Now, the reason that's relevant is because we had been attacked, Mort.
We were not trying to bully the rest of the world into doing our work for us, and we were not gonna go ask their permission.
We had to defend ourselves.
And by the way, Mort, we spent 17 months at the United Nations trying every which way to bully the world into going along with us while they were violating their own resolutions and not and not enforcing them.
My goodness, how history is forgotten, even by the smartest journalists in the world.
We tried everything we could to get them to go along.
And we turned we learned later that many of the politicians in uh in the UK and in Germany and in France had side deals with Saddam with the oil for food program.
What are we supposed to go get permission To defend ourselves, is that the new paradigm?
John Kerry has finally triumphed, the global test.
And this is what he heard McCain say.
This is how we're going to now go.
When I said enemies, I'm talking about the people, Mort in France, like De Villa Pan and Jacques Chirac, who clearly were not our allies and friends during this whole thing, and we've now learned why.
They had financial deals under the table with Saddam.
Schroeder was not our friend.
Don't tell me about World War II.
What are we supposed to do?
Sit here and lose 3,000 of our citizens in less than an hour and a half and sit around and worry about whether the world thinks we're being bullies when we strike out against those who killed our citizens.
But yet this is what moderates see as the greatness of America down the road.
Yes.
McCain plans to be different in tone, at least, from the Bush first term where Cheney and Rumsville were basically sticking their elbow in every country's eye, pretending we could rule the world by ourselves.
What have I missed?
What what were we trying to rule?
I thought all of this was a preemptive operation to keep additional attacks from coming or happening, and to find out, to do our best to track down those who'd uh perpetrated the first series of attacks on 9-11 and orchestrated them, masterminded them and get them, and I think we succeeded, did we not?
We got Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, we got we got Ramsey bin al-Shib, we got all kinds of these we didn't get bin Laden, but so what?
We got a lot of the people that were heads up in this.
Well, what a disconnect.
Uh Mort continued here saying this about uh about uh Senator McCain.
Two new McCain Veep ideas.
First, he should offer the vice presidency to Colin Powell, who may well not take it.
If not Powell, then Christy Todd Whitman, former governor of New Jersey, Rush Limbaugh will go Krakatoa, but independents will like it, women will like it, and so will African Americans, the whole the whole package.
All right, so let's not pick somebody for their quality and their qualifications and how decent they are, and what kind of president they might make Morton.
No, no, no, no, no.
Let's pick somebody that reshapes the Republican Party as a just a bunch of milk toast.
Let's do that.
And this is this is where the Republican Party is headed.
I mean, this is, you know, the Mort's not a conservative, but he's no different than a lot of the conservative media inside the Bellway.
This is exactly the way they're thinking, too.
This is this is this is what I meant.
What I long ago, when you guys got mad at me, way, way back during the Republican primaries, and it was still ongoing, I said we're looking at the death of the Republican Party as we know it today, uh, if certain things unfold, and this is this is this is the kind of thing I'm talking about.
The Republican Party will go back to being a Rockefeller blue blood country club Republican Party again.
Only this time.
But this was my point in the first hour.
This time, see, if I I've I've I think McCain can easily beat Obama.
Snapshot as of today, I mean, it can happen, but if it were the election were today, McCain would easily beat Obama.
And how's he gonna do it?
Well, he's gonna do it with a bunch of upset Democrats, mad that Hillary didn't get it.
He's gonna get it with some independents, liberals, and moderates who's like McCain on the basis that he too is a liberal independent moderate on a lot of things.
And so the Republican Party, let's say they beat Obama.
And and by the way, beating Obama, uh, that's gonna be heralded as a huge deal because Obama people faint, largest crowds ever in the history of politics.
Why people are talking, they're just enamored with Obama, and yet McCain beat him.
How did he do it?
Not with conservatives.
He did it with liberals and moderates and independents, and so the more Mort Kondrackies of the world are they gonna throw the biggest party?
You're gonna say, see, Reagan was an aberration, Reagan wasn't even all that conservative.
There aren't any real conservatives.
This is a new Republican Party, this is how the Republican Party makes itself a majority party by appealing to liberals and moderates and independents, not converting them to Republicans, just bringing them in to the party.
So the lesson will be uh this is what we will be told, and the the elite analysts, the smartest guys in the room will tell us that from here on out, if the Republicans want to remain a majority party, not just in the White House, but in the House of Representatives in the Senate, we must get candidates who can reach across the aisle and get Democrat votes.
That will be the lesson.
So the Republican Party has got to become Democrat Party light.
And whereas they are whereas these kind of guys look at the Democrats as moderate leftists or the centrist moderate, whatever, centrist with a little tilt to the left.
They look at the Republican Party as centrists with a little tilt to the right.
And so I warned you people.
Many, many weeks, months, maybe it's been a year ago now that they're not just liberals were trying to eliminate conservatism from majority status, but so were many Republicans.
And you're seeing that play out right before your very eyes.
We'll be back after this.
Stay with us.
From the French news agency from uh yesterday, the headline is really all you need to hear, Al Qaeda grooming militants who look western.
The CIA director Michael Hayden warned on Sunday Al Qaeda was training operatives who look Western and could enter the U.S. undetected to conduct terrorist attacks.
General Hayden said the Terror Network over the last 18 months established a safe haven in the tribal areas along the Afghanistan Pakistan border where they are preparing militants for attacks against the West.
I doubt that this will have any impact on the open borders crowd, but nevertheless, it's a real problem that uh we're going to have to face.
By the way, uh the attorney general uh said last week, and this guy is good.
Mu Casey, this guy is good.
And he said that he was stunned to learn just how at risk we are from various domestic threats of tr terrorism.
Now the fact that he's surprised concerns me.
The fact that the attorney general is surprised is a huge and this is a good guy.
Let's go to the phones.
People have been patiently waiting.
Rob, sorry, Bob in uh in Latham, New York.
Thank you, sir, for your patience.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Uh I'm gonna bring up a subject that that uh that I think Democrats and Republicans need to at least at least put on the table for discussion.
Yes.
Uh McCain has had melanoma.
Yes.
This is a very bad kind of a cancer, and and therefore I think the choice of the Republican running mate may be important this year.
Yeah, well, you're you're you're talking publicly about what a lot of people are whispering.
Uh people are talking about this.
They're just not doing so publicly because it's not politically correct.
Now, one thing before you go forward on this, uh I've read a lot about Senator McCain's Metal Noman's uh health prognosis, and the doctors uh who have operated on Senator McCain say that that's gone, and that the uh he's he's gone long enough now without a recurrence that the the odds of a recurrence continue to get less and less and less uh as more and more time piles up.
I looked into some details on his surgery.
They actually took out a lot more of uh uh tissue than was infected or that was cancerous uh as a I think as a as a mechanism to stop it dead in its tracks, and there are a lot of people who think they have.
But uh but still people are whispering about it, and they are saying what you just said, that's why we need a younger vice president, hopefully somebody who's conservative.
Uh, you got somebody in mind that you like?
Well, I I I personally like Romney a lot.
I I think that he's very telegenic, he's very he's very intelligent.
Um, you know, he's a can-do kind of a guy.
I don't mean to spout the line, but but I have a lot of respect for him, and I think that he's articulate, which is something I think we really need.
But you know, the Democrats will use the health issue to sow doubt um in the electorate mind.
And and I think that that if the McCain people and the Republicans don't put somebody who can really carry the mantle of the presidency, then then that doubt will be enough that people will think that they they can't they can't choose him for four to eight years.
Perhaps so.
You may be right.
I th I think they'll they'll focus on age more than they do health.
There's certainly some elements of the drive bys and the Democrats will sneak in the health note, but they'll they'll focus on age, which they've already been doing.
So then I I think this is but then look, the McCain camp knows this.
They're out there already battling on this age business.
They're out making speeches and talking.
His mother shows up with him every day.
He did a campaign appearance today, Mississippi, and his mother was out there with him.
His mother's in her nineties.
And of course, the the message there is that he uh has a terrific gene pool.
So they're they're aware of this, I'm sure, at the uh at the McCain campaign.
Now, I everywhere I go, uh, because people think I, as a powerful, influential member of the media and a well-known political analyst and figure, ask me who I think McCain's vice president nominee is gonna be.
I haven't the slightest idea, ladies and gentlemen.
I am I am not I'm not wired into any campaign, and I haven't slightest idea, and I don't think right now that the McCain people are even seriously thinking about it.
This is not stopped drive by journalists from writing speculative pieces about this.
On Saturday, Robert Novak floated a name that uh said he's considerably high on the list, and that'd be Bob a Rob Portman from Ohio.
Now, I happen to know Rob Portman.
He was the freshman class of 1994, a Republican.
He has been in the diplomatic corps.
He was the he was a trade representative.
Uh he served he's served in Congress.
He's been uh so he's been executive, legislative.
There's the there's there's two other areas in which he has uh served in Bush 43.
Oh, he's the OMB director, Office of Management and Budget.
Uh and I met him for the first time.
Well, I met him for the first time at the at the uh orientation for the House freshman in '94 up in Baltimore.
But I met him again at a dinner at Vice President Cheney's house.
I guess it'd be last was it last November?
I or the November before that.
As it has to be last November.
Uh and he was there with his wife, and she's a hoot.
She's she is they're they're quite the couple.
And that's just in terms of of uh conservatism, quality guy, good family.
He be he's gonna be a great pick.
Now, in terms of would he help the ticket with votes, I don't know how many people know who he is.
Another name that's on the list is uh Mark Sanford, Southern Governor.
McCain showed during the primaries when Huckabee was still in there, he's gonna have a little trouble with the um evangelical crowd in Southern states.
So the thinking is he needs a Southern governor.
Mark Sanford, South Carolina is a name that pops up.
However, we hear that in 2000, Mark Sanford supported McCain, but did not support him in 2008, and McCain is not happy about that.
So Sanford might not this is just what people are saying.
I don't know if any of this is true, but this is this is the scuttle butt that you get.
And then, of course, the name Charlie Christ, the uh governor of Florida uh services uh because of the perceived value of his endorsement of McCain uh during the Florida primary.
But the conventional wisdom there, and of course I always go against the conventional wisdom, but the conventional wisdom there is that McCain's not gonna need Christ to win Florida, like he might need somebody to win Ohio or might need somebody to win uh Southern uh states with a significant evangelical population.
Al in Maywood, Illinois, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hey, free Rush Limbaugh Ditto's.
Thank you very much, sir.
Rush uh Maywood is outside Chicago.
I'm the state of Illinois.
You know, the people of Illinois do not know uh Obama very well.
He was only in in the legislature for a very short time.
I have an advantage, though.
I have a friend who is a former head of a department of uh of the state government and a former legislator, uh another gentleman who's the former legislator.
The legislator is a Republican.
The uh the Democrat is a former department head, both in a conversation with me, told me two things.
Limbaugh uh that um Obama is a nice guy, but he's very, very far to the left.
The Republican legislator told me that he's probably so far to the left he's the most liberal legislator in the history of Illinois legislators.
Uh no, that's saying something.
We've had some very liberal that that that would be saying something.
Well, he is.
You know, he's rated as the number one most liberal senator.
I mean, when you're to the left of Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton is uh to the left of Stalin, uh, I think you're really uh very, very ultra-liberal.
And and again, the entire nation is not aware, and I'm talking from legislators who serve with Obama who know who he is philosophically, that he is an extremely left wing politician.
Well, this I think this is going to uh to come out.
By the way, uh Al, thanks thanks very much for the phone call.
I want to go back and make a point here.
Uh a lot of people I I I have not meant to depress you today with my uh my uh Christ that's a reality check of what the Republican Party's headed for if Senator McCain campaigns as we expect him to.
Now, let me go back to the part where, you know, play these Morton Kondracki sound bites, and he talked about the way McCain's gonna have a different tone than the first Bush.
I don't know the Bush administration's new tone in the first term, I don't I don't know how McCain can outdo that.
Uh that was letting Ted Kennedy write the education bill and all.
But anyway.
All these Republicans, these moderate Rockefeller Republicans are gonna go they're just gonna go nuts with glee and joy, if indeed McCain beats Obama big time and does so by attracting moderates and independents and liberals and Democrats to vote Republican.
And they're going to say, see, see, there really isn't any conservatism.
Reagan wasn't really a conservative.
There are moderate centrists, and that's what this party needs to always be.
That's how this party will win.
Now, I I normally only ingest, start bragging.
But in this case, if my reality check proves out, and if indeed my scenario proves to be the case that McCain wins and wins big over Obama, and does so by attracting liberal Democrats and independents and all that, there's gonna be one factor that nobody will concede nor admit to on the Republican side, and that will be Operation Chaos.
And Operation Chaos was the brainchild, the brilliantly conceived and so far flawlessly executed strategy of the nation's leading conservative media voice.
And were it not therefore for the conservatives in this country acting as operatives in Operation Chaos, the Democrat Party would not have been exposed like it's being exposed today, both Obama and Hillary.
And so while McCain and then these these conservative uh elites and the media in uh Washington and New York pat themselves on the back for redefining the party and say, see, this is how you win.
You don't win with conservatives, you don't win with right wingers, you win with centrists and liberals and moderates, and you put together a great coalition.
The fact is it would never have happened if it does happen, if the Republican Party had been left to its own devices, because the Republican Party, as of now, is not willing to go after either Hillary or Obama.
They are scared to death to do it.
They're sitting around and letting us do it for them.
They would not do it.
And if it not for us, and Operation Chaos and a lot of other conservatives continually exposing for the American people the pure ultra-liberalism of Obama and all the other defects that both Hillary and Obama possess, making it much more attractive for people to vote Republican.
If it weren't for us doing this, then there's no guarantee that the snapshot that I see today of McCain winning would come true.
The Republican Party's not on the field.
The Republican Party's taking a day off, they're taking a month off, they're letting everybody else do their dirty work and exposing the Democrats and the Liberals, and we're happy to do it because as conservatives, we want them to lose.
We want liberals to lose.
We don't want our taxes raised.
We don't want our national security threatened, we don't want it imperiled.
We don't want our borders wide open.
Still iffy.
Well, we there's a lot of things that we we don't want anything of what the left offers.
We see their track record, we see the history, it's disaster.
Especially in the current economic climate.
So you just keep in mind that if my scenario comes to pass, and after the election Obama is defeated handily by McCain, and a Republican start saying, see, see, see, this is how you do it.
We don't need those right wingers.
We don't need the evangelicals.
We need independence and moderatism.
We will be here to remind them that had it not been for us, exposing who these liberals really are.
Because if you're trying to attract liberals, McCain's not going to go out and attack liberals.
All these right wing so-called conservative media elites, they're not going to attack liberals.
They're not going to expose them, or moderates because they're trying to attract them.
Attract them.
We are.
And if it hadn't been for that, I'm looking down the road.
Left to these people who support McCain and his campaign in the RNC, they wouldn't win.
And so the point is, they will be wrong when they say conservatism doesn't matter when there are no right wingers.
We don't need conservatives in the Republican Party to win.
They will be wrong.
If they do win, as I have laid out, it would not have been possible without conservatives.
Back in a second.
I'll tell you these guys at the Politico.com, they are just all over everything.
They got two stories on how Hillary is not paying her bills to all of vendors and people helping her campaign, including over $200,000 of health care premiums for her staff that she hasn't paid.
The Clinton campaign says we pay all of our bills on time.
Then there's this.
This is by Kenneth Vogel at uh 4.35 this morning.
They posted it during the first run, his first run for elected orifice.
Barack Obama played a greater role than his aides now acknowledge in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty, and abortion positions that appear at odds with the more moderate image he's projected during the presidential campaign.
The evidence comes from an amended version of an Illinois voter group's detailed questionnaire filed under his name during his 96 bid for a state Senate seat.
Late last year, in response to a political story about Obama's answers to the original questionnaire, his aides said he never saw or approved the questionnaire.
They asserted that the responses were filled out by campaign aid who unintentionally mischaracterized his positions.
But a politico examination determined that Obama was actually interviewed about the issues in the questionnaire by the liberal Chicago nonprofit group that issued it.
And it found that Obama, a day after sitting for the interview, filed an amended version of the question.
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 got to be seriously suicidal.
Cool.
These people can't tell the truth.
They are trying to mask who they are who they are.
Obama.
Our last call said he's a typical far-left wing.
Of course he is.
Look at the freaking pitcher 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 in the fastball.
And then here's another one.
The Washington Post had this Sunday.
Obama overstates Kennedy's role in helping his father.
You remember the Philadelphia speech?
And again, 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 uh mother from Kansas.
The Camelot connections 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 at January at American University and in Selma last year, Kennedy family did not provide the funding for a September 59 airlift of 81 Kenyan students to the U.S. that included Obama's father.
According to historical records and interviews with participants, the candidates 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.
I mean, this is this is no different than getting off the plane and avoiding snipper fire in Tuzlabosnia.
These people just liar.
I'm getting so sick and tired of saying it.
I need a new word prevaricator.
You know, this lying business we learned from the 90s that people don't care.
Who don't care if politicians lie, especially Democrats.
They don't care.
The fact that the lie sounds good, Democrats want to believe it.
It's true anyway.
The whole world's a fantasy.
Why not accept what Obama and Hillary say?
