Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Ladies and gentlemen, after this, after this monumental diss, after this overwhelmingly profound show of a lack of respect by Barack Obama for Hillary Clinton, she's not the Hillary Clinton I know if she doesn't just come out in the next hour or so and say, I'm the VP pick.
You will not believe this.
You will not believe it.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's open line Friday.
Hey, ladies, those of you in the Hillary camp, she wasn't even vetted.
Caroline Kennedy never talked to her.
They didn't ask for any donors from the Clinton Library.
She wasn't even considered as a vice presidential running mate.
She wasn't even given the thought of a one second in a day.
This is no way to treat the Clintons.
Greetings, my friends, and Open Line Friday.
Yet, not only is it right, the woman behind it is Pelosi.
800-282-2882 is the number if you want to be on the program.
I'm not kidding you, the email address, lrushbow at EIBnet.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, it has just been learned that a new name has been placed in the, and by the way, the drive-bys are all breathless, panting away for their stupid phone text messages to go off.
Did you sign up for Obama's text message announcement of his VEP snurdly?
I didn't either.
Who would do that?
But anyway, apparently a lot of them have.
I will guarantee you, he will not announce this pick before 3 o'clock today.
I'll bet you money, he's going to wait for later in the day, maybe even during Olympics coverage, because they're figuring that a lot of people will not go out on Friday night, that they will stay home on Friday night to watch the Olympics.
And of course, any announcement of his VEEP will interrupt NBC's programming.
Could be a big miscalculation.
Anyway, there's a new guy that is names in the finalist, Chet.
I never heard of the guy.
Chet, Chet, Chet, Chet.
What's his?
That's right, Chet Edwards.
Not to be confused with John.
Oh, speaking of Edwards, ladies and gentlemen, right here, I hold it in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
This is good.
I hope this happens today, too.
In an interview on CNBC this morning, Warren Buffett suggested that donors to the John Edwards for President campaign consider filing a class action lawsuit to get the money back.
I think if I'd given him money, I'd probably be asking him for it back about now.
Buffett's main problem with Edwards was that he continued to solicit contributions long after he knew the story of the affair would eventually prevent any chance of him occupying the oval orifice.
It might be kind of interesting if some contributor would bring a class action suit on behalf of people.
Yeah, guys, I'll tell you who's getting the money now is the woman.
They're using campaign funds to fly her down to St. Croix and to put her up in some house down there.
That's who's you Democrats.
What a great day.
You ladies that have been holding out hope for Hillary, this is unconscionable, this show of disrespect.
I'm telling you, it's an AP story is out.
Chet Edwards is a favorite of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who praised his extraordinary credentials on ABC's this week on August 3rd and said, quote, I hope he will be the nominee.
Nancy Pelosi is running his show.
Nancy Pelosi, ladies and gentlemen, is who guaranteed that the superdelegates in the House went early for Obama to freeze Hillary out.
Nancy Pelosi running this show.
Nancy Pelosi is making sure that Mrs. Clinton is a gnat in Washington, D.C. You get these two women.
It's a Queen Bee syndrome here, folks.
It's not these two women.
It's any two women in a competitive situation like this.
You can see it at the Olympics.
You can see it everywhere that happens.
But this is deadly because this is a lot of money.
This is politics.
They did not vet her.
They did not.
Here, Democratic officials reported she was never vetted.
She was not asked for a single piece of paper.
She and Senator Obama have never had a single conversation about it.
How would he know if she'd even take it?
The official said that Clinton never met with Obama's vetting team of Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy.
If these women who were supporting Hillary and were holding out some sort of hope that she might be chosen, that's bad enough to learn that she's not going to be chosen.
But now to find out she's not even been vetted, to find out that means for those of you in Riolinda, she wasn't even considered.
All of this, all of this idle speculation over recent days and months, weeks has all been nothing but a giant tease designed to keep the Hillary forces in line, thinking something might come up.
No, they didn't even pretend.
One of the other factors in this, too, by the way, is that Hillary has only retired something like a million and a half of her debt, which is $50 to $20 million.
Obama didn't want to take that on.
He also doesn't want it to go out and hire food tasters.
He didn't want to have to go out there and hire somebody to start his car for him every day.
So he doesn't want, but you ladies that were for Hillary, I mean, they're still out there.
And this should enrage you.
This is a sign of disrespect that nobody in this party has ever shown the Clintons.
And the Clintons are not the Clintons I know if they just sit there and take this.
If I were Hillary, I would call this show.
I would right now call this show if I were Hillary and say, I am the nominee.
Obama has chosen me.
I want to get out in front of the text message and watch the fur fly.
These women have been battered already.
They have been battered.
They have been beaten up by the Obama campaign and the Democrats.
And the Democrats have decided on the affirmative action candidate rather than the woman.
And they've been teasing her all along and all of these surprises and all of these promises that it might be Hillary and she might be in the running and so forth.
But yes, she was in Florida yesterday or somewhere with Obama or campaigning her first campaign appearance and still referred to him as my opponent, quote, unquote.
So this is not just battered liberal syndrome going on here.
This is battered women liberal syndrome going here.
And ladies, you got one thing.
You got two things you can do.
Don't cry about it.
Just suck it up and vote for us.
That's all you can do.
Suck it up and vote.
Don't cry.
Do not start get mad.
I know they're already mad.
I know these women.
And they have just been royally dissed not to even have been considered.
And then to learn that Pelosi has got this guy that nobody ever heard of from Texas on the VEP list.
She doesn't want to be threatened by anybody in that number two slot.
She wants to figuratively be the number two in Washington after Obama.
By the way, an Operation Chaos update, ladies and gentlemen.
And this is something that we've been looking for.
We've been watching, we're studying this, and we expected what is happening to happen.
We also expected it not to get covered.
Rasmussen Reports says that the number of registered Democrats is declining 2% in July alone, ladies and gentlemen.
Also, the Rasmussen report says in January and February, while Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were in the early stages of the battle for the Democrat nomination, the number of Americans who considered themselves to be Democrats surged to record highs.
But now people are leaving the Democrat Party.
What's happened is clear.
Our troops served their tour of duty, and they're rotating back from deployment, ladies and gentlemen.
Back to the GOP.
We have just barely gotten started.
I'm going to play a soundbite for you.
Grab soundbite number one.
Here is Obama yesterday after the networks had shut down.
Cookie still came up with the audio.
This is at the Chester, Virginia meeting out there with Tim Kane the Eyebrow.
And what I characterized yesterday is it looked like the cast of one flew over the cuckoo's nest had been let out for a picnic in the daytime.
Here is Obama after the cameras had shut down.
Everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now in the Olympics?
Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure.
Their ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly superior to us now.
Which means if you're a corporation deciding where to do business, you're starting to think Beijing looks like a pretty good option.
There he goes again, running down the United States.
Do you know the United States of America's economy is more than that of Germany and Japan combined?
But here he is, infrastructure.
They're doing it right.
The communists, ladies and gentlemen, the communists are doing better than we are at infrastructure, airports, train systems, ports.
And if you're an American corporation, why it makes sense to go over there and start, hey, Obama, what do you think they've been doing for the last number of years?
Where do you think Nike makes its shoes that you wear, play, and pick up basketball?
Where do you think Apple's making the iPhone?
But, ladies and gentlemen, we need some commentary on this, and I've got to take a quick time out.
So just sit tight.
We'll be back and continue right after this on the EIB network.
Open Lion Friday, Rush Limbaugh heading into the weekend on cruise control here.
Nice to have you with us.
Here, listen to Obama yesterday, Chester, Virginia, one more time.
Everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now in the Olympics.
Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure.
Their ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly superior to us now.
Which means if you're a corporation deciding where to do business, you're starting to think Beijing looks like a pretty good option.
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is breathtakingly politically stupid.
I don't care how hateful you are of America.
There are just certain things that you're not going to be able to pass off to people.
China?
A better place to live than the United States of America?
Well, maybe if you don't mind pollution controls that don't exist.
Maybe if you don't care that people are employed at slave labor wages.
And maybe if you don't care that construction standards in the countryside are so slipshod and shallow that they allow the collapse of thousands of buildings, including schools, when an earthquake hits, killing tens of thousands of people, if that stuff doesn't bother you, then I guess maybe China does look pretty good to you.
Now, the Anointed One has said a lot of stupid things recently, but the idea that totalitarian eye candy engineering proves that Beijing is better than America is near the top of the list.
This guy got all of his information from watching the Olympics.
And, of course, the stuff that they have put on the Olympics, the venues that they built, yeah, eye candy is exactly what it is, like that bird's nest stadium and the swimming cube and all these other places.
But who in the world's out here telling the Obama, the Messiah, that China is living standards are far and away better than ours.
Infrastructure is far better than ours.
Who's telling him this?
Or does he just think it?
Lori Bird today, Townhall.com, has a really good column, The Case Against Obama in His Own Words.
And she says, some of these gaffes that he makes are not really gaffs.
They are, they are, they're just, they're stupidity.
He claimed that Kansas tornadoes last May killed a whopping 10,000 people.
He said, in case you missed it this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas.
10,000 people died, entire town destroyed.
Actual death toll was 12.
Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the U.S. over the last 15 months.
We've traveled every corner of the U.S. I've now been in 57 states.
I think one left to go.
Last March, on the anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement.
Quote, there was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge.
So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.
Obama was born in 1961.
The Selma March took place in 1965.
So his gaffes go beyond simple slips of the tongue and confusion and just display a lack of knowledge on important issues.
As the case when he commented on the war in Afghanistan, the lack of translators.
You all remember that.
And, you know, here's something else.
Action speaking louder of words, louder than words.
Laurie Bird did some research here.
According to Obama's tax returns from 2000 and 2006, the Obamas have given far less to charity than John McCain has.
In all but the two most recent years reported, the Obamas gave around 1% or less of their income to charity.
The contributions increased in 05 and 06 to 4.7% and 6.1% respectively, but they are still far short of those of McCain, who gave 28.6% in 06, 27.3% in 07.
But what about his concern for the least among us?
Words, words, words, but no deeds, no actions.
By the way, in terms of living conditions in China, hundreds of millions of Chinese live in the countryside without regular access to utilities, education, or clean water, and modern farming equipment.
About half of the Chinese hover right around malnutrition and no education.
They cannot feed a billion people.
They cannot feed their population.
They can put on a good eye candy show, and somebody as simple-minded and as oriented toward America loathing as Barack Obama can come out.
And once again, audio soundbite number one.
Listen to this one more time.
Everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now in the Olympics.
Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure.
Their ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly superior to us now, which means if you're a corporation deciding where to do business, you're starting to think Beijing looks like a pretty good option.
Yeah, they don't have any environmentalist wackos to deal with.
They don't have any big government regulations.
They can put up cheap buildings.
They can put up all kinds of cheap infrastructure, eye candy, but this guy's salivating over a totalitarian system and the power that the Chinese government has.
And he is using that to say that it is a better country than the United States.
Well, why don't you go over there and seek the presidency of that country, sir?
This also, this next Obama soundbite's outrageous.
This is yesterday in Lynchburg, Virginia.
We've got to send a clear message to Russia and unify our allies that they can't charge into other countries with impunity.
Of course, it helps if we are leading by example on that front.
All right.
So once again, Obama compares our incursion into Iraq as a similar moral equivalent example of the Russians going into Georgia.
You have to ask the question: is he just stupid or is he pandering here to this wacko nutcase fringe base of his?
We spent a year and a half there at the UN.
There were 14 resolutions, maybe more.
We had allies going into Iraq.
We also had some people opposing us, but we just didn't march in under the cover of darkness when nobody knew it.
Hussein knew we were coming.
Everybody knew.
We had built up the whole thing for a year and a half.
We had given Hussein ample time to show that he didn't have weapons of mass destruction.
And this man, the Democrat presidential nominee, who did not even consider Hillary Clinton as his number two, this man has the audacity twice in one day to compare the United States to both Russia and China, and in both instances finds the United States failing.
Finds the United States in second, the country that has given him a life and an opportunity he could have found in no other country on this planet.
And he is not grateful for a single thing this country has done for him.
He has a sense of entitlement, apparently.
I don't understand the lack of gratitude somebody like Obama has for the greatest place on earth.
And I certainly can understand there are America haters out there, and he is obviously one of them.
But it makes no sense politically to seek the presidency of the United States, broadcasting the fact that you hate your own country.
And that's why I question the political acumen and general baseline intelligence here that this little man child operates from.
Here's that Warren Buffett soundbite from CNBC this morning.
He was talking with the anchorette, Becky Quick.
And she basically said, look, after some revelations, spectacular fall, Edwards no longer be speaking at the convention.
Warren, you support Obama, but did you ever give money to Edwards?
No, I didn't.
I didn't give money to John Edwards.
And in fact, I think if I'd given money to him, I'd probably be asking for it back now.
In fact, I've never heard of it, but it might be kind of interesting if somebody, some contributor, would bring a class action suit on behalf of all these people who essentially were led to send money to a man under totally false pretenses and where he knew it and didn't tell them the truth.
Can you imagine, ladies and gentlemen, I mean the juiciness of a class action lawsuit against a trial lawyer, a slick, scheming fraud like the Brett girl.
All right, to the phones, and we'll start with Zeisel in Chicago.
You're next on the EIB network store.
Or ma'am, I'm sorry.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Thank you for taking my qualm at Zoe from Chicago.
First, you sort of beat me to it, but I wanted to make the point that China is a nation that's filled with starving rural people that barely have enough food to eat, if any, and they have terrible medical care if they get any.
That's my first point.
Barack Obama just conveniently doesn't know his facts.
He's living in a fantasy world like most of the liberals out there.
Number two, I wanted you to know and your public to know that I just went into a Borders bookstore today on the north side of Chicago to buy some books to take on vacation.
Not one on Sean McCain.
The first floor has many Barack Obama books.
In fact, there's a special section in the store with a sign dedicated to Obama mania.
Well, of course, it's Chicago.
Everybody knows that Mayor Daly runs the bookstores and the magazine stands.
Mayor Daly runs everything, runs Obama for crying out loud.
One other thing about China, and this is, I'm sure, something else Obama really admires, the one-child policy.
Chinese couples are allowed one child because they can't feed all of their people, and most people want a son.
And if they are pregnant with a daughter, what do they do?
They abort.
And they keep aborting until they get a son.
Now, that's a policy Obama can support.
That's a policy Obama likes.
He's for infanticide.
It is not an overstatement to say so.
He's got two daughters, I know, but it's look at liberals for everybody else.
It's for everybody else, snerdly.
They exempt themselves from their own stupidity, from their own danger.
Somebody ought to ask him, Senator Obama, when did you and your wife, Michelle My Bell Obama, decide that your daughters were human beings?
At what point did they have human rights?
Senator.
This guy's a dangerous joke.
Absolute dangerous joke.
And I still, I'm sitting here, folks, I'm loving this.
I still can't get over the fact that this diss of Hillary and Bill Clinton is the largest show of disrespect the Democrat Party has shown these two ever in their lives.
And I'll tell you something.
There's tension between these two, and you know it ain't about policy because they don't disagree much on policy.
It's personal, and it's only going to get worse.
Once when this gets out, once the Hillary babes find out the true nature of this show of lack of respect, what a time, what a time to be a spectator in politics.
Wayne, Charlotte, North Carolina, your second on Open Line Friday today.
Hi.
Yes, sir.
Ditto's rush from a listener and an EIB student for over two decades, first-time caller.
Thank you, sir.
Yes, sir.
Two quick points.
Number one is my off-the-radar prediction for Obama's running mate.
I predict Wesley Clark.
And the reason is he had no scheduled speaker slot, the only major player with no speaker slot at the convention.
There was one seemingly planned.
You can change that around at any time.
If he picks Wesley Clark, that's going to have to be vetted by Pelosi.
She might like Wesley Clark because he's dumber than Obama.
But I'm telling you, you know what?
Really?
She is the one apparently running this show.
She did say on August 3rd, which is just 19 days ago on Stephanopoulos' Sunday show, that she likes Chet Edwards, congressman from Texas.
And by the way, in this AP story, a Democrat person tells AP that Obama has said to Pelosi that she's going to be pleased with the pick.
So everybody's looking at Biden.
Everybody's looking at Bai, and everybody's looking at the eyebrow, Tim Cain.
And all of a sudden, out of the blue, here comes Chet Edwards, but it's not out of the blue because Pelosi mentioned it back on August the 3rd.
And Pelosi, Pelosi is the one who ran the Capitol Hill, making sure that those superdelegates did not abandon Obama when Hillary was making great gains toward the tail end of the primaries.
By the way, this house business, you know, this is such a non-story.
The rich elitism now is almost entirely found on the left.
From the Jay Rockefellers to the John Kerrys to the Pelosi.
I mean, Pelosi's a multi-millionaire with her husband.
I mean, she's got all kinds of homes.
This business that they're still focusing on McCain on this is just classic, just classic the way the media just pumps this stuff up and tries to make a story out of it to help Obama because it's such a non-story.
And they're saying McCain doesn't even own the properties.
McCain doesn't go to them.
You know, McCain, one thing you can say about McCain, the last number of years, he may have married a wealthy woman, but he has not advanced his lifestyle at all.
He does not avail himself of the opportunities to go to all these houses and so forth.
In fact, there's an interesting contrast.
McCain is not a slumlord.
What do you mean, snurdy?
McCain's a slumlord.
No, he wasn't.
No, I mean, he wasn't vacationing.
He goes to the Sedona place.
They sold the big house in Phoenix and bought a condo when the kids were gone.
His primary residence is a condo in Virginia.
He doesn't even live in D.C.
But here's a way of looking at it.
We found out the other day that Obama, and Jake Tapper, by the way, has done some research into Obama's family tree.
And so far, he'd been able to count eight half-siblings of Obama.
One of them was George Hussein Obama, found in the hut in Kenya, right inside Nairobi.
And we found that old George Hussein Obama is living on less than a dollar a month.
We also found out that one of McCain's houses, a condo, is one that they provide for an elderly aunt of Mrs. McCain's.
How come Barry can't send his half-brother a $20 bill and almost double the guy's annual income?
Well, a $20 bill would almost double his brother's annual income.
And McCain, said to be so out of touch with the common man, used one of his houses to house an elderly aunt.
So they're asking all these questions of McCain on these houses.
Okay, I got some questions for Obama.
How many huts and ramshackle shacks do your blood relatives own or live in?
Have you helped with payments or co-signed banknotes for any of those huts, thatched or otherwise?
If your hut-owning relatives ask you for a loan to make an addition to their hut or to build an outhouse, would you be willing to spend the $5 necessary for an add-on?
Obama, what would be an appropriate hut warming gift for a half-brother or grandmother?
A mosquito net?
Cortisone cream for bug bites?
A waterproof deck of cards?
Please tell us, sir.
You've had to deal with these questions as your half-siblings have moved into new huts and quarters around the world.
How does one go about Obama addressing a Christmas card for a close relative that is a hut dweller?
Do they have an address?
Some kind of GPS coordinates to give FedEx.
Does FedEx go to any of the huts where your half-siblings live?
Senator Obama, would it be in poor taste for you to send a sign to your blood relatives to hang in their hut that says, hut, sweet hut?
If so, why?
If so, these are legitimate questions.
These are damn legitimate questions.
Let me tell you something.
After you send the sign that says, hut, sweet hut, if you haven't done that, why haven't you lifted a finger to help these half-siblings raise their standard of living?
Do they like living in abject poverty?
What about Senator Obama, the least among us?
Does George Hussein Obama hope for change?
Does he hope for an outhouse?
Does he hope for some plumbing?
Does he hope that he doesn't have to walk a half mile to get a cup of water that is not sanitized, Senator Obama?
Does your half-brother George Hussein Obama long for cable TV?
We know, Senator, he gets newspapers from somewhere because there are pictures of you posted on one of the walls of the hut.
Senator Obama, do your half-siblings living in huts all over the world look to you for answers?
Do they look to you for hope?
Do they look to you for change?
By his own admission, your brother, your half-brother George Hussein Obama, has lived in this hut for years with no change in his life whatsoever, and he is your half-brother.
And you're running on change.
At least, Senator Obama, have the compassion of Castro.
At least send your brother, George Hussein Obama, a rice cooker.
So there's Obama.
He's out there praising China with rampant abortions, no labor unions, child labor, and slave wages.
And he favors, compares favorably China to the United States.
Look at all the money they've spent.
Look at the money they've spent.
Look at the money we've spent on people in the last 30 years, Obama.
Look at the money we spend on people all over the world.
Look at the money we spend on ourselves.
He's an ingrate.
He's an uninformed ingrate.
Mike in Mansfield, Ohio.
Open line Friday, you're next.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Hello, Rush.
Hey, yes.
Hi.
What an honor it is to speak with you.
It's the first time I've been able to call in and finally get a hold of you.
My name is Mike from Mansfield.
I am a registered Democrat, but I consider myself, I guess, more middle of the road.
I'm for who's the best guy for the job, or I should say best person.
My comment is this.
I don't trust Obama at all.
And, You know, he's very articulate when he has paperwork in front of him that's written for him, but you get him on a conversation where he doesn't have anything in advance, and he's lost.
No, he's not lost.
Well, he's lost, but we get the real Obama.
That's what we get.
We don't get the script.
We get the real Obama.
We find out when he makes a comment like he made about China.
The real Obama.
That's the real Bill Ayers.
That's the real Jeremiah Wright.
That's the real Harvard professor class that taught him.
That's the real Obama.
Well, and he brings up a comment about or try to make a correlation between Iraq and Russia.
Number one, Russia invaded Georgia.
We liberated a country.
We took care of Afghanistan.
Hold it, hold it, hold on, hold just a second.
Somebody get the nitroglycerin.
Heart attack.
Just had a Democrat on this program praise and get right what happened in Iraq.
This is a first.
It is a first.
I'm now starting to question whether you're telling me the truth about being a Democrat.
Well, you know, I believe what I believe.
And not all Democrats are necessarily have all the same beliefs.
But what we, you know, myself, I believe in people's rights.
I think if Obama gets in there, we're going to lose a lot of rights, especially if he thinks China has it going on.
And secondly, I wanted to correct you on something.
I've heard you call Obama the Messiah many times.
Yes.
I think you're mistaken on what he would be classified as.
I think the best term would be Antichrist.
Well, I don't want to go there.
Don't want to go there.
The Messiah is a humorous term used in this contest because that's what he's trying to portray himself as the anointed one.
I'm the one you've been waiting for, is what he means when he says we're the ones we've been waiting for.
I'm the one you've been waiting for.
He's full of it.
This guy's bought it.
He's bought it all.
It's an amazing thing to watch.
Look at Mike.
It's great to hear from you out there.
You're right about pretty much everything you said.
This is David in Cincinnati.
As we stay in Ohio, you're next.
Welcome, sir.
Hi, Grush.
Hi.
I've been listening to you for 20 years, and I agree with most of your positions.
I'm a fairly conservative person myself, at least very fiscally conservative.
Yes, politically.
And I've been fairly politically conservative.
Your last dissertation about Obama's half-siblings, you know what?
I'm not a politically correct guy, but God almighty, that was offensive to me.
And I'm a guy.
I can understand that, you know, because I suggested he send a guy a rice cooker, and it's worthless if you don't have any rice.
I should have said send some rice.
Listen, you have a powerful podium and a great message in terms of our potential dangers with Obama being elected.
And those are great, great positions.
Talk about those too.
We cover the gamut here on the EIB network.
I know.
I know.
It just, to me, was.
What was offensive about it?
What in the world was offensive about it?
There was nothing in it that wasn't true.
You know, again, to talk about the huts, and it was just, it was that.
Why not?
If people of means get put down because they don't have means of being looked at by the Democrat Party as the evil rich people, it doesn't make it right for, and I guess I know a lot of times you're spoofing, but gosh darn it, you have so many important things to talk about.
David, I agree with your positions.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
This was a very important thing to talk about because this was parody.
This was satire.
This was brilliant humor and requires elements of truth in order to be brilliant humor.
I didn't put the guy in a hut.
He's not my half-brother.
Vanity Fair found a guy in a hut.
Vanity Fair found a guy in a hut without an outhouse, without plumbing.
He's Obama's half-brother.
Obama, the least among us.
Obama doesn't give to charity.
Meanwhile, Obama is out praising Russia and China.
And his campaign is trying to make hay out of a bunch of lies about John McCain's homes.
So if we're going to question people's homes and who lives in them and who pays for them, well, we got a lot of Obama half-siblings out there living in abject poverty.
A guy who has four to five or six million dollars a year in income, and he's got a half-brother living on less than $12 a year in a hut.
I didn't create any of this.
It exists and it's real.
If you can't handle it, point it out.
Look, stop and think of this.
With one $20 bill, just one $20 bill from Obama to his half-brother George Obama, he could double his annual income.
A $20 bill.
