Time Text
Poor Barry.
Poor old Barry, he's out there complaining that McCain wants to talk about the pig and the lipstick issue.
When it was Obama who raised it.
Obama brought it up.
McCain wants to talk about it.
You know what they're saying in the bowels of the Democrat Party, ladies and gentlemen?
They are saying, uh-oh.
They're saying, uh-oh, what did we do?
We could have had Hillary.
Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh here on the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address Elrushbo at EIBnet.com.
Generally, ladies and gentlemen, at this stage of a campaign, when the campaign wheels come off, as they have come off Obama's campaign, this is generally when heads roll.
This is generally when, okay, we've got to shake up people behind the scenes, get rid of some of these people that are making Barry look bad and get some new blood in there.
The problem with that is that the head that needs to roll is Obama's.
And I don't know, they can't do that.
I mean, they can't, you know, they didn't vet the guy, and they're all sitting around.
I mean, they've lost, when you get a 20-point swing in white women from Obama to McCain, that's unprecedented.
I don't think anybody's seen that kind of movement that quickly in presidential politics in their lifetimes.
You know the Democrats live and die by the polls, and they're out there saying, well, polls don't matter.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Change every day.
Snapshots.
They live and die by it.
I'm telling you, there's got to be panic back there.
Evidence of this can be found in the New York Times today, a column by the esteemed Thomas Friedman, who has this advice for the Messiah.
Somebody needs to tell Obama that if he wants the chance to calmly answer the phone at 3 a.m. in the White House, he's going to need to start slamming down some phones at 3 p.m. along the campaign trail.
And if Obama wants to rally his base, he has to be more passionate about his own ideas.
And then he writes this, Obama will need to find another way to connect his ideas clearly, crisply, and passionately.
Now, this is the esteemed Thomas L. Friedman in the New York Times who's essentially saying Obama has lost his base.
His base is the media in the kook fringe.
Obama's lost his base, and he has lost his way to connect his ideas.
He doesn't do so clearly, crisply, and passionately.
Now, I'm sure that Mr. Friedman is trying to help here when he writes somebody needs to tell Obama, blah, Mr. Friedman, I think you better get in line.
This is what Obama's thinkers have been telling him for weeks, if not months.
This is the advice Obama's disappointed sycophantic followers have been giving him.
Friedman, you're a little bit late to the party here.
Obama's idiotic lipstick and dead fish comments were examples of Obama getting tough.
That's how he gets tough.
This is how community agitators man up, folks.
The real problem, and I say this to Tom Friedman and all the others who are getting quaky in your boots.
I mean, this clown that calls here right before the end of the show, if that doesn't illustrate liberals, I don't know what does.
To call here and say Sarah Palin can't put two sentences together when his own candidate can't put a paragraph together without a uh and a, you know, uh Obama doesn't have any ideas he can get tough on.
See, this is the real problem.
How would he get tough on tax increases?
How would he get tough on surrender in military conflict?
How does one get tough about not drilling for oil?
I mean, is he going to sit there and angrily pound his fist and say, if you don't properly inflate your tires, I'm going to lose it.
Shut up about high gas prices and listen to me.
Quit your whining.
Go out and buy a tire gauge and use it in an air pump or stick it where the sun don't.
What's he going to do?
How's he getting mad about that?
Does he get tough about his issues?
How do you get tough telling people how you're going to screw them?
You hide the fact that you're going to screw them.
Barack Obama does not have any ideas that Americans want.
And Barack Obama does not have any ideas that Americans need.
The guy is a one-trick pony.
He climbed into the arena of ideas with a speech from 2004 in one hand and in the other a speech about him being the one we've been waiting for.
And now that he's punched out, his followers are stunned.
That's all their guy had.
They have been passionately backing a man who has accomplished zilch zero nada.
He hasn't accomplished anything.
He has no life story he can tell.
Well, he has a life story, but he won't tell it.
And by the way, good old Pastor Wright is back.
There's a story he busted up a marriage, having an affair with some woman at a church in Texas.
And then he's preaching at a church in New Jersey all week through tonight.
And he compared Obama to the Virgin Mary.
Jeremiah Wright said, Lord told him, an ordinary black boy, you can be a state senator and you can bring folk to the bargaining table who not only do not talk to one another, these folk don't like one another.
He did what the Lord said, Mr. Wright continued.
An ordinary black boy like Mary was an ordinary little girl.
So Jeremy, and Bill Ayers published a cartoon, a four-panel cartoon on his website yes, explaining what he meant when he said we didn't do enough, because he says it's being taken out of context.
He says people think that he meant we didn't bomb enough.
He says, no, no, no.
What I meant was we didn't do enough to stop the war.
We didn't do enough to stop the murdering and so forth.
So the two guys that Obama needs to shut up and go away can't help themselves.
They're out there opening up, telling parts of Obama's story he doesn't want told.
Here's Jeremiah Wright comparing him to the Virgin Mary at a church in New Jersey.
What is this church?
He's in East Orange, New Jersey, through today.
It's at the Elmwood Main Branch, the Elmwood Church.
So, I mean, he's accomplished nothing.
He doesn't have a story he can tell.
And without a prompter, of course, he's a second-rate comedian without lipstick.
But we shouldn't be so hard on Obama, folks.
I've really come to conclude this.
He's just doing what he's been told.
He's doing the best he can.
What we are watching is Obama's A-game.
See, everybody's waiting for the A game that they thought they saw earlier in the campaign.
Where's that going?
It didn't go anywhere.
It never was.
You know, a campaign is more than flowery speeches of nothingness.
And you can't give that speech over and over and over again.
So now we're watching his A game.
While everybody's waiting for the A game, they're waiting him to get his mojo back, and this is it.
If anybody's head needs to roll in this campaign, it's Obama's.
By the way, anybody know the difference between Barack Obama and an empty suit?
Do you know what the difference between Barack Obama and an empty suit is?
Dawn, you have any idea what it is?
Sturdley, do you know what the difference is between Barack Obama and an empty suit?
Brian, do you know what the difference is between Barack Obama and an empty suit?
I don't know what the difference is either.
Sorry.
Chuck Graham, state senator's here.
Stand up, Chuck.
Let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
What am I talking about?
I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, OPAL.
I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
Joe Biden in Columbia, Missouri yesterday, asking a guy in a wheelchair to stand.
Hey, Chuck, stand up.
Let him see you.
Welcome back, Rushland Boy, and having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
I want to go back.
We've got more evidence here on this same-sex or comprehensive sex education in kindergarten in Illinois that Obama denies supporting, yet he did.
Here's McCain's ad that has the Obama camp so upset.
Education Week says Obama hasn't made a significant mark on education, that he's elusive on accountability, a staunch defender of the existing public school monopoly.
Obama's one accomplishment, legislation to teach comprehensive sex education to kindergarteners.
Learning about sex before learning to read Barack Obama.
Wrong on education, wrong for your family.
I'm John McCain, and I approve this message.
Steve Gilbert at the sweetnesslight.com blog has found the original text here of the legislation.
It was Illinois General Assembly Senate Bill 0099, an act concerning education.
And what this copy actually shows is that the bill was specifically changed to include kindergarten.
Originally, the bill was just grades 6 through 12.
In this copy, the six, the number six, is crossed out, and the capital K representing kindergarten is in place of it.
So it actually reads, each class or course in comprehensive sex education offered in any grade K through 12 shall include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including the prevention, transmission, and spread.
I've originally said AIDS, AIDS Crossed Out, and it says HIV.
So the crossed out language was dropped from the bill.
The underlined words were added in the bill, and it was originally not to include kindergarten.
It was specifically changed to include kindergartners in comprehensive sex education, and Obama did vote for it.
Now, there's more melting down in the Obama campaign.
Linda Douglas, we've told you about her.
Linda Douglas used to work at ABC, and she used to work at NBC as a drive-by journalist.
And she decided she was not having enough impact for Obama as a drive-by journalist.
So she said, I'm leaving drive-by-ism and I am going to go work for Obama.
So we have yet another member of the extreme left media abandoning the media to go to work for Obama as a spokesperson.
She was on Joe Scarborough's program on DNC TV this morning.
Scarborough said, did Barack Obama mean to put that lipstick on a pig that he was describing, Sarah Palin?
Absolutely, categorically not.
What is offensive about the way that the McCain campaign has reacted is once again, they are making these ridiculous charges.
First of all, this had nothing to do with Governor Palin.
But secondly, they made a ridiculous charge that it had something to do with sexism.
And I think that she should be embarrassed.
And it is insulting to women that the McCain campaign keeps cynically grasping for some excuse to say that everything that is said about the ticket has something to do with sexism.
Now, this is not the kind of spokesman and contribution that you get from a campaign that's on the offense, that's feeling confident.
These people's backs are against the wall.
They don't know what hit them.
Here they are complaining about McCain and the Republicans using a lipstick comment when it was Obama who mentioned it.
When it was Obama who said it.
And it wasn't just lipstick on a pig.
It was also dead fish in newspaper that a lot of people think was aimed directly at McCain.
So Scarborough said, well, will Barack Obama come out today and address these charges, which seem to have taken on a life of their own over the last 12 hours?
Charges?
I mean, what is the charge?
The charge is sexism against Barack Obama.
The New York Daily News, the New York Post, Drudge, a lot of the papers are talking about it.
The attack and the charge is against your candidate, Barack Obama.
Will he address these charges of sexism?
You're saying that because Drudge and the New York Post are accusing the Democratic candidate of sexism, which is a completely ridiculous charge.
Of course, we're not going to spend the day responding to something like that.
Senator Obama is going to be out today, as he does every single day, talking to voters about how he's going to improve education for children, make college more affordable, bring down gas prices, move us toward energy independence.
He's not going to be able to do any of those things.
But Linda, Linda Douglas, as a former member of the Drive-Bys, and I'm sure you'll be a member of the Drive-Bys again after the Obama campaign loses.
You'll go back to some network.
What happened to this notion of the seriousness of the charge?
Remember, Anita Hill had no evidence whatsoever against Clarence Thomas.
But people like you, Ms. Douglas, why you kept it all alive.
You kept it alive by saying the seriousness of the charge.
We have to investigate this.
Tom Foley, when there was no evidence to support that George Bush 41 had been part of a plot with the Iranians to keep the American hostages in prison essentially until after the 1980 election, didn't matter there was no evidence.
Foley said the seriousness of the charge demands that we investigate this.
So what about the seriousness of the charge here, Ms. Douglas?
There's a pretty serious charge here that people are making.
Your candidate's sexist, and your candidate insulted Sarah Palin by calling her a pig.
Serious charge.
We got to investigate this.
We got to talk about it.
So then Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, on this program said, she said, well, he comes out with a substantive education speech the same day the McCain campaign comes up with an ad slamming him for legislation, saying he wants to teach kindergartners sex before they learn to read.
They seem to be outgaming in Democrats right now.
How does Obama get back on the offensive?
They have been running a consistently negative and deceptive ad campaign.
You're absolutely right about that, Andrea.
There has been a barrage of negative, cynical, deceptive ads, and they are, you know, they really do fall into the category, as we've said yesterday, as dishonorable.
These are dishonorable ads when you continually try to deceive the public in the most cynical ways about Senator Obama's record.
But he's not going to waste his time responding, number one, to stories that loom up in the news media that don't really have any foundation.
And number two, all of the negative, cynical, typical Washington attacks that we've been getting from the John McCain campaign.
Well, there's only one problem here, Linda.
He proved you wrong.
He did go out and respond to it.
Shortly after she appeared on MSNBC today, he went out and responded to it.
She said he's going to go out, as he does every single day, talk to the voters about how he's going to improve education for children.
No, he's not.
He's going to say we need to improve it.
He's not going to tell us how he's going to do it because he has no clue.
He has no clue other than to teach kindergartners sex education.
He did sign that bill.
He did vote for that bill, Linda.
He's also going to talk about making college more affordable.
How is he going to do that?
Is he going to call the university presidents and say, lower your tuitions?
Remember, university presidents are liberal associates of the Democrat Party.
There is no way.
I mean, if you guys are really upset about college tuition, you'd be calling it big university, big education, big college.
And you'd be trashing them like you trash big oil.
You never do anything about this.
All you'll do is come up with more favorable student loans or more student loans or what have you.
There's never any pressure to lower tuition from people like Obama.
Bring down gas prices.
How's he going to bring down gas prices?
Obama, in fact, Ms. Douglas, you should remember this.
Obama said he wasn't upset when gasoline peaked at over $4 a gallon.
The price didn't bother him.
What he said bothered him was how quickly the price rose.
But he didn't say the price bothered him.
I haven't heard him say he wants to get gas prices down, and he hasn't the slightest clue how to do it.
He can't tell anybody how he's going to do it because his plan does not include finding any new energy that could be converted into gasoline.
You've got an empty suit candidate who can go out and speak all these platitudes.
We need to do that.
We need to do this.
And we need to do that over there.
But he didn't have any idea how to do it.
Anybody, ladies and gentlemen, can go out, talk to a large group of people and tell them what's wrong and have the crowd go nuts.
Yeah, you tell them.
Not very many people can come up with actual solutions to these things.
You know, part of, I think, Obama's appeal way back in the early days of the campaign was that he went out and he identified what was upsetting and bothering people.
And so they thought he was one of them.
He was the one they've been waiting for.
But after a while, you've got to do more than just relate.
Just say, hey, I know you're hurting, and here's what's wrong.
You've got to come up with solutions.
And poor old Obama doesn't have any, folks.
We'll be back after this.
Stay with us.
Ha, there are you.
Welcome back, Rushlin Baugh, the EIB network.
A little note here, ladies and gentlemen.
Ben Smith at the Politico has updated his blog on this whole lipstick on a pig joke that Obama told.
The Obama campaign has been claiming that there was no intent to imply anything about Palin when he mentioned lipstick and a pig.
And the Cain campaigns out there saying he called Palin a pig.
Actually, he called her a pig.
That's what this is really all about.
So the Obama campaign's denying that.
But this little update now.
Though on a day when Obama's surrogates were joking that Sarah Palin's record cannot be concealed with lipstick, it was hard for those following the campaign not to hear the echo.
Meaning, Obama goes out, tells his pig, lipstick pig joke.
People think it's about Palin.
No, I would never do that.
Economic policy.
Barack Obama.
But his campaign's out there after he makes the lipstick comment telling people, joking that Sarah Palin's record can't be concealed with lipstick.
So I think she got this combobula.
She tells the lipstick joke, the lipstick pit bull joke.
And it's, you know, Obama's.
I say this all the time.
The Washington Post does it all the time.
Everybody McCain says it all the time, too.
But I think this clearly gets to the intent.
But look at beyond the intent here, whether he intended to do it or not, it just isn't presidential.
The whole press conference or the whole appearance that he had yesterday was just undisciplined, directionless.
There was no presence.
He did not exude any presence or any command of the situation.
And I think he doesn't have much, and that's his mind starts wandering, and he comes up with political clichés.
And he's trying to be a stand-up comedian.
This is how street agitators get tough.
You know, his supporters want him to toughen up.
They want him to fight back.
This is how street agitators do it.
Back to the phones.
This is Vincent in Eatonton, Georgia.
Vincent, welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Rush, Mega Dittos from Eatonton, Georgia.
Thank you.
First of all, congratulations on your 20th anniversary.
And may the next 20 years be as rewarding for you as the last 20 have been for us.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Appreciate that.
Our pleasure.
Rush, I'm not a conspiracy theorist like Oliver Stone, but I also believe in the analogy that where there is smoke, there's fire.
And I'm just wondering how many gaps that Obama's going to have to make before we know his true religious leanings.
I'm going to refer to 57 states, okay, several months ago when he made reference to visiting the 57 states.
I Google 57 and upcomes of 57 Muslim states.
And then last, the other night, we were watching Fox, and they showed an excerpt of Stanopoulos', George Annopoulos' interview with Obama when he said, my Muslim faith.
Well, Rush, I'll tell you what, I came right out of the chair, and I never heard what George Stanopoulos said in response to that until I was listening to your program yesterday.
In fact, I had called in and was listening to it when my cell phone went dead, but that's another story.
And I learned that Stenophilus was the one who said Christian.
And Obama quickly responded with...
That's right.
George Stenophilus corrected.
He said, no, no, you're Christian faith.
Yes, your Christian faith.
Christian faith.
That's right.
My Christian faith.
So I'm wondering how long do we have to go before we really know.
Now, Rush, this is also an opinion.
Now, some of my friends think I'm a little wacky in this regard.
I don't believe for a second that he could have been elected as a U.S. senator if his faith was that of Muslims, especially following 9-11.
He may have been elected as a state senator.
Now, wait a minute.
He's never, he hasn't been spotted in a mosque.
He's been going to Jeremiah Wright's little hellhole up there in Chicago where they preach a bunch of hatred and stuff.
But I mean, I don't think they do.
I don't think they do.
It's not a mosque.
Well, no, I understand that.
What I'm saying is I don't think he, 20 years ago, whenever he became a Christian, when he decided, I think that's when he decided to get into politics.
And the thinking was he could not get anywhere in politics if he were a Muslim versus a Christian.
And I'm just wondering what his true religious leanings are.
He gives his eloquent speeches 2002.
What does it matter to you in the sense that he might be lying about it?
Well, I just think he was lying or hiding his true feelings.
Well, there's a lot of stuff circling around the internet about this.
People have been trying to peg this down and so forth.
The last one I saw was some sort of a document from a school in Africa where he was known as Barry Sotero and was enrolled as a Muslim at this particular school.
But I don't know what to make of this stuff.
You know, I just, there are people out there trying to make these connections.
He did say Muslim faith.
And of course, we had the story yesterday.
Muamar Gaddafi earlier this summer made a speech saying that he's a Muslim.
And then I know the 57 angler, 57 Muslim states, and he thinks he's got, he's visited all 57 states of the United States.
And then Stanophilos, I mean, you know, pulled him out of the fire yesterday.
Can you imagine if Stanophilos hadn't corrected that?
Seriously, folks, stop and think about that.
If Stanophilus had not corrected, that line would have lived in infamy now, and Barack Obama would have had to correct that.
Look, Vincent, I'm glad you called.
Thanks much.
We'll move on to Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
This is Frida.
Hey, Frida, how are you?
Oh, I'm doing just fine, Rush.
I'm so happy to speak to you.
I have a remark to make.
It's regarding the lipstick on a pig remark by Obama.
Now, I heard this morning on one of the cable news networks that Mr. Burton, whom I believe is Obama's press secretary, submitted a written statement, and I saw it on TV.
And at the end of the statement, it said something like that McCain was asked what honor meant to him.
And they say that McCain could not answer what honor meant to him.
Now, that was in response to the lipstick remark.
I find it ridiculous and appalling that they will make a big deal about or associate McCain and honor.
And if there's anybody on earth that we know that is an honorable person, it is definitely McCain.
That's exactly right.
That's a great example of how the Obama campaign is flailing around, throwing it up against the wall, hoping something sticks.
Now, what happened was that McCain had done an interview with somebody.
It was, I guess it's Time magazine.
And they asked him to define honor.
And McCain got a little testy, as he sometimes does, and he said, it's in my books.
Read my books.
I'm not going to sit here and define it.
It's in my books.
Read my books.
So that got reported.
And then Bill Burton, the campaign spokesman for Obama, issued the following statement.
It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against the father of two young girls, a position that his friend Mitt Romney also holds.
Last week, John McCain told Time magazine he couldn't define what honor was.
Now we know why.
And the reason they say McCain's got no honor is because of this attack on Obama supposedly wanting to teach sex education to kindergartners.
He did.
He voted for it.
The Obama campaign is lying through its teeth here, trying to cover this up.
This is why there are all kinds of holes in the Obama story that they don't want to tell themselves.
When somebody else tries to tell these stories, they're going to go out and they're going to attack people.
My guess is, just exactly as you said, Frida, when you start attacking John McCain's honor, I think 40 million Americans watch John McCain's speech.
And I'm guessing that they think not only he understands the meaning of honor and he is the meaning of honor, that he personifies it.
McCain walked the walk.
He doesn't have to talk the talk.
That's for people who are guessing what honor might be.
So I think it's just an example of how they're just flailing away out there, folks.
It's just funny to watch.
I'm having the best time with this.
Can change on a dime, obviously.
But this is, you know why I like this?
Because the conventional wisdom is always wrong.
And the notion that the Democrats and the media put out that they are the kings and that 80% of the country agrees with them and that their candidates are infallible and that they are in touch with the American people and that everybody is just practically willing to bow down and kiss the earth to have Democrats running the country again.
And there's no truth to that.
And I love these people who have this arrogant, condescending way about them getting a comeuppance.
I love it when reality slaps arrogant, condescending people upside the head.
And it always does at some point in time.
And right now, it is happening to the Democrats.
The very last things they expected to happen are happening.
Just like the Wellstone Memorial and countless other examples that I could give you.
They thought the Wellstone Memorial was going to relate to 80% of the country and they're going to be swept to a big, big legislative victory in 2002 and retake the House and the Senate.
It didn't happen.
It hurt them.
Just as this whole campaign that Obama's running now is hurting the Democrats, Willie Brown's got it right.
They're on defense.
And there's nothing they can do to turn this around because their candidate cannot get tough on the issues he supports.
How do you get tough on no new energy?
How do you get tough on raising taxes?
How do you sound mad about bringing non-college tuition when you have no intention of doing it?
So they're kind of stuck.
About all they can do is come up with clever ads for the guy, but they run the risk every time he goes out there without a scripted speech.
They've got their fingers crossed.
We'll be back.
The truth is, ladies and gentlemen, you can put lipstick on a community organizer, but that does not make the community organizer presidential.
Ha!
Welcome back.
Great to have you.
You know what this lipstick thing show is?
It's just one of many recent examples of how the media has lost the gatekeeper image that they use.
You know, in the old days, when the media had their monopoly, if they didn't want you to see the Obama lipstick comment, you would not know about it.
Somebody might write about it, but you would not see it because the only cameras that would have been there would have been ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN.
And if they wanted to suppress it, you would have never known about it.
But they have lost their gatekeeper status.
They have lost the image of standard setter for what's right and wrong, what we get to see, what we don't get to see.
Basically, their editor, their worldwide national editor role has been obliterated.
And even now, when they want to come out, they say an ad or a charge is tasteless and has gone too far, doesn't matter anymore.
Who are they to say that?
It used to be that when they said something was something, then something was something.
Whatever it was, they have lost that, and that, I think, explains one of the reasons why they are so fed up and ticked off as well.
Here's Harry in Pleasanton, Texas.
Hi, Harry.
Glad you waited.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Thank you, sir.
It's an honor.
Thank you.
I don't think it's right that we criticize Obama for his recent comments.
I'd like to tell you why.
I believe that all of the candidates for that office should share their wisdom that they've acquired through their life experience.
I mean, my goodness, we wouldn't have, you know, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
We wouldn't have asked not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.
Now we have, you know, if you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.
And, you know, Rush, that's a true statement.
You can put lipstick on a donkey, but it's still a jacket.
Right.
You can put lipstick on a community organizer.
He's still a community agitator.
And you can wrap a donkey in a Maverick's clothes, but it'll still act like a donkey, or still act like a jackass, right?
So what are you saying that Obama was right?
We need to praise him here for insight?
No, we don't praise him, but I think he has a right to share his wisdom with his supporters.
Well, when's he going to start?
We all learn from what he says.
Oh, come on.
That's not wisdom.
That's a political fliche.
When is he going to start sharing his wisdom with us?
I wish he would.
I wish the guy would start being honest with us.
I think we just saw the depth of his wisdom, Rush.
I'm kind of playing with you here.
Well, I understand that.
A lot of people, by the way, who are very close to me said, you know what?
I think this is just way over the top.
I think people are overreacting to this like they all do when you say something.
The media, media, matters, these people all try to make you run you out of town over something they misinterpret that you've said.
And I think free speech, people should say what they want to be able to say.
I agree with that, but I love it being turned around on them.
I do too.
I do too.
The worm always turns.
Are you calling Obama a worm?
Did you just call the Messiah a worm?
We're all worms.
And it all turns.
We're all worms.
All right.
Thanks, Harry.
Bye-bye.
The worm always turns.
Barack Obama was just called a worm on the EIB network, folks.
We've done a full 360 on this now.
Have you gone to the foreverhotwater.com website and looked at the Renaille Tankless Water Heater that I have been suggesting and urging you to do?
Not only is it a marvel of technology, it is practical and it's functional.
Not only does it deliver hot water the instant you turn it on anywhere, it lasts for as long as you want it to.
And it doesn't cost you any money to heat that water prior to your using it.
It only costs you when you use it.
I know it sounds hard to believe.
How can this possibly be?
A lot of you probably have become educated now on tankless water heaters such as the Renaille, but you don't know how much it'll save you in energy costs, terms of usage.
If you've got a regular water heater that's older than seven years old, it's on its last legs.
You're waiting for, you know, it's inefficient.
It's going to blow up on you at some point.
You're on borrowed time.
The Renaille Tankless Water Heater doesn't take up much room either.
You can go to foreverhotwater.com to see how it works and how much you would save each month.

Marcia Edwardsville, Illinois, right outside St. Louis.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Mega Dittos, Rush.
I've been listening to you for too many years since college.
Thank you.
Saluki Dittos from Edwardsville.
Basically, I have a couple of issues.
Actually, one observation about Obama being a revolutionary candidate.
He is.
He is the first black candidate for president.
He is also the personal embodiment of Mike Dekakis, as evidenced in his fish little thing the other day.
And, you know, about the rotten fish.
I mean, I'm waiting for the head rotten from the head down.
Right, right, Dukakis.
The fish rots the head from the head down, yeah.
Yeah.
And then that, yeah, he's actually the Chicago guy who actually is trying to make good, although that has a violent connotation to it for McCain, I'm guessing, if he thinks he's got it lost.
However, I heard on another place that...
You know what?
Can you hold your thought there?
Okay.
Because I misread the clock.
I thought I had two minutes here, and I didn't.
I had one.
So don't go away.
But I got to take, we call it inside broadcasting, a hard break.
It doesn't float.
Okay, folks, a brief time out here at the top of the hour, and we will be back revved and ready to go for the third and final hour of our excursion into broadcast excellence today.
Lots still ahead.
