Time Text
The views expressed by the host of this program make more sense than anything.
Anyone else out there happens to be saying because the views expressed by the host of this program are documented to be almost always right ninety-eight point eight percent of the time.
That's the result from our latest opinion audit.
Once again, I am your host, Rush Limbaugh, saying more in five seconds than most hosts say in a week.
Great to have you here, 800 282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
Email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com, a Washington Post reporter has apologized to Obama for calling him much more white than black.
In an online chat last week, not even in the newspaper.
In an online chat last week, Washington Post reporter Jonathan Wiseman said this of Obama quote.
He really did not become immersed in black American culture until he left college and went to Chicago.
Hello, Jeremiah Wright.
The great irony is that he is much more white than black, beyond skin color.
Well now, see, when you work in the drive-by media, and you happen to swerve into the truth about a Democrat candidate, all hell will descend on you.
And all hell did descend on poor little Jonathan Weisman.
So he has apologized, said I was trying to say that chronologically, Obama spent his entire childhood either in the white environment of an elite Hawaii prep school or in Indonesia.
But frankly, I'm not defending myself.
It was a really stupid and sensitive comment, and I've apologized for it to the people who have emailed me.
A lot of readers were upset about this on the uh on the blog.
Now, isn't this what many were saying from the get-go about Obama?
He's not down for the struggle.
He doesn't have slave roots to the civil rights struggle in this country, and he doesn't have slave blood.
We had the LA Times, the magic Negro call, hey, you know, I mean, this guy is just a way for whites to assuage their guilt, white liberals to vote for him.
It was the left as all these journalists out there that worried about his authenticity.
It was just last week.
I will never forget this.
I wish I could remember the guy's name.
The guy that runs the Southern Christian leadership conference in Atlanta.
Said, hey, just because Obama might be elected doesn't mean we're out of business.
Doesn't mean the race business is out of business, because he didn't have any slave blood.
And so he has no time.
So will you not be able to say that a black American, an African American has actually been elected?
Now his wife has slave blood.
But that doesn't mean anything because she's just going to be first lady.
So here's Weisman.
He comes along and look, Obama is half white.
He was raised by his white grandmother, who has been thrown into the bus and extracted.
He is not down for the civil rights struggle.
In fact, as everybody knows, he goes to Chicago, probably chose that church for black street cred.
And who was it, do you think that he turned to advice on that?
Who would you think would advise Obama?
Could it be his wife, Michelle My Bell?
She already had the cred.
Could it have been Oprah?
Could it have been somebody in a Chicago political machine?
This man Obama is a series of calculations, ladies and gentlemen.
A pure series of political calculations.
Now, this is funny.
Not only is Jonathan Weisman in trouble for daring to say that Obama is much more white than black beyond skin color, meaning he talks white, he he he lives white.
That's that's what Weisman meant.
From the New York Times today, a new campaign charge.
You supported Clinton.
Brooklyn's 10th Congressional District, home to more African Americans than any other in New York, gave Senator Obama the highest margin of victory in the state.
But the district's longtime Congressman Adolphus Towns did not share his constituency's preference for Obama.
Now some of those voters are pushing to get rid of him.
His decision not to back Obama shows he's out of touch with his constituents, says N. Chandler, a former city corrections officer who lives in Bedford Stiphescent and who had supported Mr. Towns in the past.
And I think I think people this district are ready for a change.
Poor old Adolphus Towns, he'd done nothing but what the Congressional Black Caucus has ever told him to do.
He's been he's been an expert radical in the House of Representatives.
He's done everything, but since he supported Hillary, he gotta go.
He's not the only one.
The tensions in this district echo those in a handful of races around the country as Democrat incumbents with large African American constituencies try to soothe the resentments at anger incited by their support for Hillary Clinton.
Even after Mr. Obama and Hillary embraced in Unity New Hampshire on Friday and sought to put their divisions behind them.
Some strains are still evident closer to the ground in Georgia.
Representative John Lewis, a prominent civil rights leader, is facing primary challenges from two black candidates who have been critical of him for backing Mrs. Clinton for months before shifting to Obama to underscore the point.
One of the challengers to Mr. Lewis set up his headquarters in the same building that served as Mr. Obama's office for the primary nearby in Savannah.
Representative John Barrow, who is white, but represents a district that is largely black, is under attack from a challenger who says Mr. Barrow was also late to endorse Obama.
And another New Yorker, Gregory Meeks of Queens, faces a primary opponent who has sought to make an issue of his support for the Clinton campaign in a district, New York sixth, where Mr. Obama drew nearly 56% of the vote.
Patrice Quinn.
What does all this mean?
Where is the racial identity politics in this country?
It's in the Democrat Party.
Where is racism?
Where are demands for unity based on skin color and gender?
Not on issues.
It's in the Democrat Party.
Where are all these restrictive demands and guidelines and requirements that people tow the line based on race?
It's in the Democrat Party.
Patrice Queen, a freelance writer from East New York, Brooklyn, and a volunteer for Mr. Powell's campaign was especially upset that Adolphus Towns had continued to back Mrs. Clinton.
To her, the reason black leaders like Mr. Towns stuck with Clinton was obvious.
Racial self-hatred, said Ms. Queen, who is black.
It was as if they were saying, We people of color are not ready yet.
We're not ready to be in the White House.
Self-hatred does that to you.
Do you understand this, folks?
They are saying that people like John Lewis and Adolphus Towns and Greg Meeks did not get on the Obama bandwagon because they didn't feel they were ready as black people for a black president.
That's not what it was.
They were rolling the dice, they were going to dance with the people at Brungham.
The Clintons had taken real good care of them.
And a manner of speaking.
The Clintons invited them to the White House.
They had all the good times.
And who's Obama anyway?
Who is this guy?
Don't forget, folks, I gotta remind you of this.
During the early days of this campaign, there were a lot of liberals, so who the hell does he think he is?
This is Hillary's time.
There were a lot of people.
This whole notion of unity and Barack Obama as the unifier is another myth.
A total fabrication.
A PR package that is designed, once again, as all liberalism is to fool people and disguise what actually is going on behind the mask.
Back after this.
Okay, we have we have a problem in America, do we not?
We have a problem of uh energy.
We have a problem energy prices.
The supply is not really a problem, and we would not have any shortages, we don't have any lines.
But uh the fact is that the world is using most all of what it produces, is leading to rising prices, along with a lot of people hedging their bets on the future price, trying to get as lower price as possible down the road.
Uh, and energy usage uh is critical to American freedom and liberty.
America's uh energy growth is related to economic growth, which is related to prosperity and freedom for as many Americans as seek to access it.
Correct?
All that's right.
Uh any any disputes about that?
Fine.
From Billings, Montana, two conservation groups have asked the federal government to impose new restrictions on oil and gas development in the West to protect the greater sage grouse, a popular game bird that's on the decline.
Scientists contend that sage grouse breeding areas are suffering in the face of accelerating oil and gas exploration in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Utah, and other Western states.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the grouse.
The grouse are suffering.
And damn it, we're the ones that deserve to suffer because we're making the grouse suffer.
And we're doing it for immoral reasons.
We're searching for gas, natural gas.
We're searching for oil.
And that makes us sick, says Senator Reed.
Senator Reed, it is you, sir, who make me sick.
And presumably many other people.
Unless drilling is slowed down.
The um grouse, the chicken sized grouse, could end up on the endangered species list.
That could shut down public hunting for the bird and prompt restrictions on residential development and agriculture.
So the first the first stab here is to protect the grouse to shut down oil and gas exploration.
And then they say if you don't do this, we're gonna blackmail you even further if you keep exploring that we're gonna put this damn grouse on the endangered species list, and that'll stop you living anywhere here, it'll stop you buying anything here, and it'll stop you developing anything here.
And as such, if you already own property here, we're gonna make it worthless.
The American left, the conservation movement, the grouse are suffering.
Or is it certainly the grouse are suffering?
It's the grouse, the grouse.
Let them adapt.
They will find a Kmart sign to live in like the spotted owl.
Denise in uh Friesen, California.
I'm glad you haul held on.
Thanks much for calling.
Hello?
Hi, Denise.
How are you?
I'm fine.
How are you?
Never better.
Good.
I'm just um calling because I'm saying, are you serious about this statement by Clark?
Like no one cares about what people are saying about McCain or Obama.
We are suffering as American people.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I might have missed something here.
Nobody cares about McCain or Obama at No, what nobody's saying what nobody is cares about what they're saying about McCain or Obama.
This is what I'm saying.
Wait a minute.
Nobody.
You mean nobody cares who the next president's gonna be?
No, that's not what I said.
I said nobody is caring what people are saying about McCain or Obama.
People are interested in who's gonna be the next president.
What look if nobody cares.
So so so what I'm saying is nobody cares about these little statements that people are making.
Nobody really cares about that as American people.
We're suffering as American people.
We people are losing their jobs.
You know, my problem here is uh ladies and gentlemen, I'm a literalist.
And and uh Denise here is speaking uh female to me.
I don't speak female.
Well, it's you you it doesn't matter how you think I'm speaking because the point in what I'm saying is and I'm gonna get my point across.
I think that you're speaking.
You need to spend less energy on what people are saying about each other in this body.
It's a let's stick to let's stick to the politics of each candidate.
What what politics of candidates work to your advantage?
Well, it's it it's I'm just saying.
I'm just saying, you say now you you're saying now you're doing the sexist email it?
No, I'm no I'm not doing a sexist anything.
I'm like I don't I don't speak cat either.
Well I'm just I'm just saying.
This is what I'm saying.
Denise, I really want to understand what you're saying.
My problem is I I'm telling you I'm a logical literalist, and what you're saying is nobody should pay attention to what people like Wesley Clark or anybody else is saying about Barack.
Let's stick to let's stick to the stick to the politics.
That's what I'm saying.
It's not about all this.
We're suffering as American people.
And this is what I'm saying.
It doesn't matter.
Um try again.
What I hear you saying is that nobody maybe I should start because the American people are suffering, because there's real pain and hurt and suffering in America, that nobody should pay attention to what anybody says about Barack Obama or John McCain.
Is that right?
Okay.
Well, all I'm just saying is, you know, I've I've covered this, and as an independent, I'm looking and I'm looking and I'm seeing which candidate I'm going to vote for.
Because I do need a president.
That's not a driver.
Yeah, you do well, no, no, we can't.
No, no, no, I don't see you don't need a if you think you need a president, we're in deep doo doo.
But the b bottom line is this.
You're gonna vote for whoever you're gonna vote for, but nobody is supposed to talk about them.
We're not supposed to react to what anybody says about them, which follows then we're not supposed to talk about them out there.
You're reacting.
You've reacted a whole whole lot you want to say.
I think now you have reached me.
I think that you are suggesting that reacting to what the media reports say about Wesley Clark saying about McCain is a waste of time because nobody cares about Wesley Clark.
Nobody's thinking about the statement of Clark.
This is why I'm saying it's not important.
We're suffering as American people.
And this is all I'm saying.
Yeah.
Well, let's stick to let's stick to the policies of each person.
I haven't heard you say anything about the policy.
Come on.
Now don't start with me on that document.
So that I can vote for the right candidate.
Denise.
Oh, you want to know who to vote for?
No.
No, I know who you're gonna say I'm gonna vote for.
But I'm saying, give me the policies.
Give me the policy.
I have I do it every day on this program.
We can't afford Barack Obama.
You're already suffering.
You want to suffer some more, vote Obama.
You want to suffer financially even more, vote Obama.
I do discuss the policies.
There's no question about it.
But in discussing what people say, this is a campaign, and the Obama people are trying to destroy McCain.
It is not irrelevant what m what what Obama's little hack surrogates are saying.
It is not irrelevant whatsoever.
I uh the idea that we're suffering.
Yeah.
I know, but this is all this is all part of the mix.
This is just well, I don't want to get sexist here.
And I'm if I say what I'm gonna say, people are gonna think it's just a sexist reaction, it's not a sexist reaction.
It's it's just men and women's brains are different, and he just hear things differently.
Just don't want all this confrontation.
I just don't want all this just can't we stick to the issues.
Can't we just get along?
We'd be nice to each other.
Admit that one of us is gonna lose and be happy about it and move on.
Can we just do that?
We have to have all these arguments all the time.
Can I just turn on the TV and have it work rather than understanding how?
Can I just elect the president without understanding what he's gonna do?
Can't we just do this so that we have as little consternation as possible because we're suffering out here.
I don't mean that as a sexist comment, but it frankly, it's why the soccer mom phenomenon works.
It's why the NASCAR mom thing works.
It's why the liberals continually, every election try to identify a certain middle, upper middle class female archetype, and suggest that she will be the primary beneficiary of Democrat policies because she's suffering too, and her own husband doesn't care.
Bill Clinton loved those soccer moms more than their own husbands.
He understood the uh challenges of their lives, getting them dressed, fixing breakfast, taking them to school, picking them up, going to soccer practice, and the whole while driving a gas guzzling SUV and feeling guilty of sin about it.
Somebody had to help these women was the Democrats that were gonna do it.
The same thing now.
And we're back on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
We have a little drive-by mantra here, as you know where the drive-by's are trying to dredge up a new definition of uh swift boating.
Uh, ladies, in fact, let me uh let me take this next call.
I want to get to this after this next call because of much of the same thing I think is going to happen here.
Uh this is Kim in Cape Canaveral.
Hi, Kim.
Nice nice to have you here.
Honor to talk to you, sir.
Um Diddle's from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Yes.
Just up the coast.
Yes.
I think you are dead right.
I think that um Wesley Clark is just trying to impugn um McCain, and I think any military experience in whatever the form is going to help a candidate to better understand his number one job of being commander in chief of the military.
He can better understand whatever his troops may encounter.
Theoretically, that's true, but uh you know, this there's some there's some admittedly leftist generals out there that I would hope never get near the commander in chief chair.
People that think we're the focus of evil in the modern world that don't want to use the military because its size and its power is unfair.
Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
But I agree with you.
You the the uh the the the any military experience at all is valuable in terms of uh having experience to defend and protect the country.
Exactly.
But and any of these people who seem to hate the country and don't want to be here and want to change it, I'd like them to consider going over to Europe and and settling over there.
No, that's not what they're about.
I know.
They want to remake this country in their own.
That's right.
They want to change this country.
If they ever succeeded, they'd be the saddest and most disappointed people on the face of the earth.
No, I think we would.
Well, yeah, yeah, but uh, I mean, they they they think they've got utopia within arms reach now, and then they would just be devastated because what they want doesn't work.
No, I understand.
So we will keep fighting for the real utopia.
And I thank you for for all of your leadership in educating all of us.
Thank you, Kim, very much.
I appreciate the call.
Because that's what you do.
Well, thank you.
I very much appreciate that.
Thank you, sir.
Have a happy independence day.
Same to you.
Uh let's see.
The uh this this yeah, I think Wesley Clark, the Obama campaign, they're just trying to destroy John McCain's character, just like they try to destroy the character and reputations of any judge that is nominated by the president to any court, particularly the appellate courts or the Supreme Court.
Because their guy can't compete with McCain.
When it comes to the experience that she was talking about, serving in the military and how that translates to having uh worthwhile experience to be commander-in-chief and uh defend and protect the Constitution.
Obama is not anywhere near it.
I mean, it is grossly unqualified.
So in the process, what is happening, and some swift boat guys are getting mad, by the way, because the way the left is using the term swift boat, it is used to uh say that people are being lied about.
Specifically, Democrats are being lied.
Swift boat to swift boat a Democrat is to lie about him and to falsely attack and accuse.
The truth is a swift boat attack is the truth about a Democrat.
And most leftist Democrats, anybody who tells the truth about them or their policies is accused of a personal attack.
So the drive-bys have come right along.
They have accepted this new definition of swift boating, trying to turn it into a pejorative, and they are trying to equate all that with uh with with Wesley Clark.
The Swift boat vets told a truth about a guy they served with who was lying.
John Kerry.
So here we have a montage of people from ABC, CNN, NPR, CNN, CNN.
We also have uh that's it.
We do not have Clark and McCain on this.
This is just a montage to show you how they're doing it.
The McCain campaign unveiled a new truth squad.
The Swift Boat Veterans.
The so-called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
The Swift Boat people.
Swift boating's very real.
Like the Swift Boat veterans, which ran ads against John Kerry.
This is like Swift boat rhetoric.
Did Wesley Clark pull a Swift boat on John McCain?
They are so eager for McCain to be swift boated because they think a swift boat is telling lies about somebody and then successfully destroying them.
And they are trying to turn that definition around to fit their intended usage of it.
Last night on Anderson Cooper 180, uh James Carville was the guest.
And Anderson Cooper said James is McCain's service record fair game.
I don't know what the Obama campaign is apologizing for.
Because what West Clark said in response to Bob Schiefer say, I have to say Barack Obama's had not any of the experiences either, nor has he gotten shot down.
Clark, well, I don't think riding a fighter plane and getting shot down is qualification to be president.
I don't I don't why are we apologizing?
By the way, West Clark has 30 medals.
He's got a silver star, bronze star, purple heart, and everything else.
Nobody's apologizing, James.
Where do you been smoking?
Who's apologizing?
Has anybody who apologized to McCain?
Nobody's apologized.
So what what old buddy James is doing here between bites of gumbo is sending out the warning, don't you dare apologize, and you're going to have me to answer to.
We don't apologize in this party.
We're not going to apologize for this.
I don't know why should anybody apologize.
Exactly right.
You say it and you move on.
You're drive by politicians, drive by media.
You run in, you fire, you take your hit, you create the cast catastrophe in the mess, and then you move on down the road to do it again.
While somebody else like me has to come in and clean it all up.
James in Kokomo, Indiana.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Yeah, hi, Rush.
Hey, it's it's an honor to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, I I was told to get right to the point, so I I will take that personally.
I mean, everybody's uh told that.
All right, well, then I've got another point.
Uh as a Vietnam veteran, uh, I I think that the uh best ambassadors that we have, and the uh by the way, happy upcoming fourth independence day, uh, are the U.S. military.
Uh, the State Department cannot hire the quality of people that we have going overseas.
Now, in addition to that, uh, I think we're reaching a tipping point in regard to this uh oil deal and the economy of this country and the welfare of this country.
I think that Gore and Tom Friedman, uh Reed, Harry, uh Pelosi, and Obama are almost as much a threat as Osama bin Laden.
In uh uh in a in a different manifestation, a different way.
Well, they're in Pelosi that they're gonna destroy this economy.
Yeah, but they're not gonna plant bombs and buildings to do it.
No.
However, uh by the way, I'm a golfer too.
Well, however, you're a golfer too.
Yeah.
Well, no, I I there that you had a caller uh yesterday or last week that wanted to know what we could do about it.
And uh my advice is uh goes back to the founding fathers, uh uh tea in the harbor.
If we're not gonna be represented by these people, uh, we shouldn't pay them taxes.
Let me ask you a question here, James.
I mean, the cut to the chase here.
Okay, so you believe that Reed Pelosi, Obama, uh Al Gore, Tom Friedman, all these leftists are actually going to destroy our economy.
Yeah, they are.
I understand.
I'm just recounting for the audience what you said.
Do you believe two things?
Do you believe they're doing it on purpose?
And if so, why?
Well, um, so that they can uh control how we eat, what we drive.
Why do they want to do that?
Uh well, evidently they they've got some money coming out of it.
They're gonna tax us uh they intend to get our money.
Yeah, but they're not gonna get it personally.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you're right.
Some of them uh a lot of people go there and be.
The reason I ask the question, folks, is because there are a lot of Americans who think this.
And you look at the Democrats and you look at the American left and you look what they're very openly and honestly stating, and it does equal a disaster.
Raising income tax rates, raising the capital gains tax rate, no exploration for new oil, raising taxes on energy, expanding the federal government every which way possible, taking more and more of the right that you have to do on your property whatever you wish.
So if you if you say to people, and we're practicing the art of persuasion here, you want to get to as many people as possible to sound the warning.
So if you go out and you say that the Democrats, the Obama campaign and all the others, are hell-bent on destroying the U.S. economy, how many people do you think are going to believe that there are Americans who actually want that to happen?
Now we we know on our side of the aisle that the Democrats full well they want to control as much of human life as possible in this country, and they want to make sure when they secure their power that they never lose it again.
But if you go out and tell people, you know, they think they want to destroy the economy.
They're a bigger threat than Bin L. You're not going to persuade anybody.
Because people don't want to think that about their fellow Americans.
Besides, you say that about Harry Reed.
What do people know about Harry Reed?
Very little, except when they see him on TV, he's this soft-spoken, just trying to help people get along and so forth.
Doesn't look like somebody that wants to destroy the U.S. economy or change it drastically or harm it greatly.
And yet the liberal prescriptions that they're honest about would do exactly that.
It's also very difficult for a lot of Americans to accept, just because somebody says so, that the sole purpose of Obama and his campaign is to say and do anything to get elected because they want the power because they want to control as much of your life as possible.
They want you to become as dependent on government as possible.
A lot of people just don't want to believe that that's that a whole political party that has that as its objective.
They can't believe that the people in the Democrat Party don't want what's best for America.
Even though there are countless examples of Democrats doing everything they can to secure defeat in Iraq and in the war on terror.
Even though it's Democrats who've done everything they can to destroy the Bush presidency, even though it is Democrats who have made up lies, slanderous libeless lies about U.S. military men being rapists and murderers and so forth.
It is, they hear Democrats talk about raising taxes, but they do it under the guise of getting even with the rich.
So it's a, you know, it's a tough sell to convince a lot of people of the actual desires that Democrats have.
You could play them a tape of Harry Reid saying oil makes us sick.
Coal makes us sick.
And depending on who you show the tape to, if most of those people pay scant attention to the news, but every now and then watch the evening news and have seen just how mean-spirited we are in the smokestacks and the penguins and the uh and the polar bears in trouble, they might even agree with him.
And then they might hear alternative energy is the answer, and plugging your car in in a hundred miles a gallon, they may say, yeah, let's do that, even though it's nowhere anywhere near, even in a dream close to reality.
So it's the same old, it's the same old thing.
How do you sound the warning bill?
How do you sound the clarion call in a way that doesn't cause people to run the opposite direction and think that you are the kook.
A story, a couple stories just cleared the wire, and they happen.
This so often happens with me, is I have such empathy.
I know what's important when.
What were we just talking about?
How in the hell is so many people in this country not see what's right in front of their eyes?
I think it's because of the way it's explained to them.
You say that the Democrats want To destroy the economy and raise your taxes and ruin your chances for prosperity.
They don't think there's any American that would like to do that.
No, Democrats are trying to come with alternative energy.
Democrats want to tax the rich and make it fair.
That's what they think.
So Associated Press, a new poll, shows high gasoline prices have dramatically changed Americans' views on energy and the environment.
More people now say expanding oil drilling and building a new power plant is a bigger priority than energy conservation.
This is a pew poll.
Nearly half of those surveyed, 47%, now rate energy exploration, drilling and building new plants more important compared with 35% in February.
Now, we read this.
And we say, if this is true, then how does Obama even have a chance?
They are opposed to drilling, and everybody knows it.
They are saying so.
They are opposed to new refineries.
They are opposed to exploration.
They don't even know they want to protect the stupid grouse.
So you tell me if this poll's accurate, then how in the name of Sam Hill?
And there was a Sam Hill.
How does Obama even stand a chance?
How do the Democrats stand a chance?
How in the world can you have this poll and another one that'll come out shortly?
Mark my words, which will suggest that more Americans trust Obama to deal with the energy crisis than McCain.
Also, American voters will not stand for attacks on John McCain's military record.
His campaign warned today in an escalating row over the Republican hopeful's Vietnam War heroism.
This is the French news agency reporting this.
The McCain team sought to score new points on the second day of a fresh controversy over whether McCain or Obama has the best credentials to be U.S. commander in chief.
Of course, Wesley Clark, who started all this, refused to back down.
Senator Lindsay Gramnesty describing his friend McCain as a rock star among U.S. troops, contrasted his long military and political experience with that of Obama.
So I do believe General Clark has made a huge mistake here, no matter how he sugarcoats it, he's trying to question John's service, Graham said.
I just don't think this is going to sit well with the American voter.
I don't know.
We just heard from a female American voter who doesn't give diddly squat about it.
Don't like all this fighting.
This service doesn't matter.
I don't know how representative she is of uh of people.
Anyway, we will uh we'll just have to see brief timeout here, folks.
We'll be back and wrap it up right after this.
Look at here, ladies and gentlemen, the National Rifle Association plans to spend about 40 million dollars on this year's campaign, 15 million of that, devoted to portraying Obama as a threat to the Second Amendment rights held up last week by the Supreme Court.
And they are dead on right.
That was another flip-flop.
Somebody got to Obama and said, Look, we don't care about this issue.
This issue kills us.
This gun business will deal with it after we're in power.
Do not make it a campaign issue.
And he followed suit.
The NRA, God bless them, is showing the rest of the Republican Party how it's done.
And isn't it interesting that they are winning?
