RUSH: Michelle Obama. I'm gonna tell you something. (sigh) They're just getting started with this stuff, folks. There are 21 months to go, and I have been worried to death that this is all... I'm talking about the Obama presidency. I've been worried about it since before he was inaugurated. I have been worried that this is going to lead to racial strife unlike any that we who are alive today remember.
She is continuing that. You know, the story we had on what she said dedicating the museums, the new Whitney Museum, that young blacks -- "people that look like" her -- just aren't welcome. She's on a roll now. That was just the starter. She is continuing in universities commencement speeches.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Michelle Obama, by the way, could not handle being conservative for one day. Would you all agree with me if I said that the media that the Obamas get is basically slobberingly fawning? The media will not take and hold the Obamas to account for anything. Whatever they do, an excuse is made for it. They have made a mockery of the travel and entertainment budget that the president gets. They have made a mockery of so much.
They have done it willingly and knowingly. The media doesn't call them on it. The media doesn't call them on anything, and Michelle Obama has run around talking about how she's so upset, she could not believe what happened in the cover of the New Yorker -- which I commented on at the time. It was a parody cover that was making fun of people that make fun of them! She didn't even see that. There's no sense of humor.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Michelle Obama is on a roll. She is playing the race card, she's doubling down on it, and the reason I didn't start with this in the first hour, I'll be real honest with you, is it depresses me. To think of the opportunity that this couple had. Look at hope that was invested in them by virtue of their election. Look at how many well-intentioned, otherwise fine citizens, look at how many white people voted for this couple, desperately hoping that doing so would help us to get past all of this that has created this racial divide in this country.
I think the essence of hope and change, I think the hope was not so much hope for the country's future economically, hope for people's personal economic success. I think the hope was that if this country made the statement, a majority white country electing an African-American president, that that alone would serve a significant role, play a significant role and cause there to be massive progress toward eliminating, or not eliminating, but reducing the racial strife in this country, and the exact opposite has happened.
I'm sad to remind you that I predicted that what has happened would happen. And I did it because I understand politics. I understand the Democrat Party, and I understand liberalism, and I knew full well that the election of Barack Obama was gonna exacerbate racial tensions because, one simple reason. The president of the United States is the most powerful man in the world. As such, everything he does is under the microscope. Some of it's gonna be supported. Some of it's gonna be criticized. It's just the way it is.
And I knew that every word of criticism would immediately be disqualified and rendered baseless and useless because it would be said to come from racism. And therefore no legitimate criticism of the president of the United States would be permitted. Which meant that he was gonna have a free reign, an open road. There wouldn't be the normal checks and balances or vetting or anything that would rein him in. And since I knew that he was an extreme leftist, that did not portend good things to me, and that's why I said that I think racial tensions are gonna be exacerbated.
I also knew, I knew it, I was hoping I was wrong, but I knew Michelle Obama's running around the campaign saying, "For the first time in my life I'm proud of my country." You listen to Reverend Wright, you know what these people think, you know what they have been exposed to. You know that they have got a giant chip on their shoulder. And she's making it plain that she always has had and that it's getting worse after six, seven years, almost, in the White House, it's getting worse. It isn't getting better. According to her own words.
This depresses me. People with the power of the presidency, and the first lady, have a remarkable ability to inspire. They have a rare opportunity to extol virtue, to lift people up, and the exact opposite has happened. And that's why I didn't lead off with this in the first hour 'cause all of this just depresses me. Like one of the things that Michelle Obama now is claiming that she is offended by is when she is referred to as Obama's baby mama. Well, excuse me, but if you recall -- I just asked Cookie to see if we have this in our archives, I'll never forget this, folks.
In 2004, Obama's addressing the Democrat convention. This is the convention that John Kerry who, by the way, served in Vietnam, retook Boston Harbor. He and some of his swift boat buddies got in a swift boat mock-up and they sailed across Boston Harbor to the convention. But Obama gave a speech, might have been the keynote, I don't remember, but it's what put him on the map. Up until 2004, Barack Obama was not nationally known. He was known in Illinois, known in Chicago. He was known in limited Washington social circles. That speech put him on the map.
What I remember, though, is his wife's introduction. I've never seen one like it. I have never seen a wife, period, political or otherwise, endorse, introduce her spouse the way Michelle Obama did that night, introducing her husband, Barack Obama. She had passion. She had energy. She was upbeat. She was -- when I say shouting enthusiastically, I mean, she was shouting. This was not standing at the podium docile. It was firebrand, and I mean it in a positive way. But during that introduction, she kept referring to him as my babies' daddy. You remember, Mr. Snerdley? (imitating Michelle) My babies' daddy! My man. My man. The greatest man in the world!"
She went on, it was like that her whole introduction. My babies' daddy! And then the next thing I remember about it, he came out and virtually ignored her. If that had been me and if my wife had just introduced me that way, the first thing I would have done would go up and hug her and embrace her and whispered in her ear, shouted if I'd have had to to overcome the noise, "Thank you, God, thank you."
I mean, it was unlike any introduction and he just came out and didn't even shake her hand. He didn't quite ignore her, but he acted like, well, that's what should have happened here. Nothing abnormal about that. That's the way everybody treats me.
Hmm. Glen Beck (the tearful one) said about the same thing this AM. Are these guys sharing notes?
I agree with Rush, its only going to get worse....
DEPOSE AND ANNUL
however she serves her White House guests Toto Tartare, Caesar Sashimi, Shiki Mak, American Wagyu Tenderloin with spring vegetables and Maui Onion Veal Jus, plus adult beverages....kinda makes you wonder how serious she is other than like 'her photo-op garden' feeding public school children is more of the same....
President “chip on his shoulder” ain’t done yet.
This woman seems evil in her heart, in my opinion.
The first alleged lady forgot where she hid her nuts.
Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.
America won’t survive those who elected this POS twice.
We’re outnumbered folks. Stick a fork in this country.
This is a vile racist repulsive woman. She hates whitey. Hates the country. Assumes everyone is racist. YET she has straight hair. You have to look at these small things. Perfectly straightened hair. Black women have naturally curly hair. And, as a fact, I find it quite attractive. A cute black girl with a short afro is HOT. BUT, Not moochelle. She hates natural African hair and has hers straightened. Why is that Moochie?
I wish I were a fly on the wall at the white house. I can only imagine how angry the two of them are. Their entire lives are centered around hating something. I truly hope their daughters don’t fall in to the muck in which their parents live.
She wears wigs most of the time.
I have never been so ashamed to see our country subjected to such mitigated balderdash.. She should ask for a refund on her acting lessons.. or Has Huma been coaching her too?
He is wearing the 'mantle' of his father's and communist mentors and that of a bitter wife...how different America would be today had people vetted them or if they cared about their country, made inroads to quell any and all racism, instead they have rekindled the flames of hate....I wonder what they teach their girls.....and I worry about future generations with those young women and those like them who can't let the reins of race go, Michelle is truly, horribly racist...she has had all the advantages of Middle-class America...what makes her so bitter?
I heard where she apologized for the museum thingy.
“WHITNEY museum!? I thought it was Whitey Museum. So you can understand my anger towards such a name. And now of course my embarrassement. I’m SO sorry!”
(Heh - I wonder if she has ever been embarrassed in her life? Well, other than being in other countries and having to say she was from America. “But I’m not like that - I hate it too!)
michelle starts each speech....”as a disbarred attorney”....blah blah blah “having travelled round the world and vacationed on martha’s vineyard at taxpayer expense” ..... blah blah blah.... word of advice ...michelle ...get rid of the black chip .... it makes your ass look big....
I can’t believe anyone graduating from college would think that this crazy ditz has anything constructive to say. College used to be a place where people went to learn how to think. Now they go there to have bull**** shoveled into their empty skulls.
They're right where they've always been.
Who’s the little round faced guy to Michelle’s right? I thought Gary Coleman was dead.
