RUSH: We've got another Obama gaffe, and this was a great one if ABC has left it up on their website. It was on Good Morning America today, an exclusive interview with Good Morning America, and the subject of this particular interview was campaign low blows versus standard attack ads. And Mark Mooney, ABC reports, quotes Obama as having said on Good Morning America today, "If we're going to ask questions about, you know, who has been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily." ABC follows it up and said, "What Obama meant is that McCain, not Obama, has put out more negative ads." So I'm going to dispatch Cookie to try to find this, but I'll be interested. If we're rolling on Good Morning America, we've got it. If we have to go to their website, well. "If we're going to ask questions about, you know, who has been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily." So ABC has to cover for him here. Well, what Obama apparently meant was that McCain, not Obama, has put out more negative ads. That's today's date, September 15th, 2008.
Oh, yeah, and then there's the Obama ad on McCain being computer illiterate. Do you know what the sources are for this? The Daily Kos, Mother Jones. The Obama campaign, the Drive-By Media, they get everything they get from the kook fringe base. What we have learned is that McCain's war injuries prevent him from raising his arm. He cannot use a keyboard. He cannot use a keyboard because of war injuries, and here's Obama with an ad based on these stupid kook fringe, lunatic sources of his claiming that McCain is computer illiterate. They did this because McCain once said, "I don't use the computer much. I have people do that for me." Only because he's got too much honor to say, "My war injuries prevent me." Some news story in 2004 or 2000, I forget which off the top of my head, I've got it in the stack here, did an innocent little story about him independently of his campaign. Might have been the Boston Globe or the Boston Herald, I'm not sure which. But he can't use a keyboard, that's why he doesn't use a computer. Obama is out there with these ads saying that McCain is computer illiterate. BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: We've got it, ladies and gentlemen. We've got Obama on Good Morning America today, and he's denying here in this bite that his ad is intended to attack McCain for being old. Chris Cuomo says, "Now we see these new ads that come out calling McCain an old man."
OBAMA: Hold on, I didn't -- I didn't say that. What I said was -- I mean, let's be fair, Chris -- what I said was that John McCain is out of touch.
CUOMO: But the ad is a negative ad. You paint him as an old man, say you can't use a computer, he's never sent an e-mail, what does that all mean?
OBAMA: What it means is that we've got a twenty-first century economy and John McCain does not have a vision for how to move that forward.
CUOMO: So no apologies for that ad?
OBAMA: If we're going to ask questions about, you know, who has been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily. (rimshot)
RUSH: Hey, Chuck, good to see you, buddy, stand up! Oh, my God, God, what did I say? Love you Chuck, God love you. Everybody stand up for Chuck. So here is Obama, given a chance to say, "You know what, that ad might be a little unfair because I didn't know McCain's war injuries prevented him from using computer. I trusted all that rotgut from Mother Jones and Daily Kos." And he won't apologize. By the way, his surrogates are running around saying McCain's too old, Claire McCaskill and these other people, we played the audio today. There's no question. Now, this is a huge gaffe and ABC's covering it up of course on their website, "He's obviously talking about McCain." "If we're going to ask questions about, you know, who has been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily." He's just very, very tired. He's just overworked, every day.
I want to hear Joe Biden, "Hey Chuck, stand up, out there."
(playing of Biden/Chuck bite)
We need to roll off this Obama here. We're not going to let go of this, when he says, oh, no, we're going to ask questions about, you know, who's been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues, I think I win that contest pretty handily. That goes in with the two Bidens that we have.
It was reported here:

12:51 a.m. Editor: With the exception of remarks on the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, Obama largely delivered his standard stump speech.
Gaff of the address would be when the Illinois Sen. referred to the “You-tay” Indians, instead of Ute.
You-tay Indian gaffe? (Utes).......... We got lots of utes in Brooklyn.
My God, he’s stupid.
So I guess Biden misspoke when he said 0bama was articulate.

You-tay Indians. Sheesh.
Please be gentle with Obama. McCain/Palin need at least token opposition on election day!
I wonder if he'll go up to South Dakota to connect with the Sigh-Ox tribe???
Well for cryin out loud, don’t you people know when a well educated person pronounces a word in French? s/
Man, Freud would have a field day with Barack.
Can't wait till he meets the Nez Pierce. It's becoming clearer each day that Obama has no cultural understanding of our country, because he didn't grow up here!
That was Biden again darn it! That darn Biden is going to ruin Barack's chances.
It is obvious he doesn’t know what he believes, his thoughts circle, twist and return back opposite of where he started, does anyone else see this pattern as a mental issue, not just willing to lie like a Democrat.
I think he can’t help it.
I think he believes he is messianic in his views..
God help us, all I have heard him say so far about being different is that he would have started more aggresive oil and NG searching after 911.
Oh yea, what’s your problem Obamma, don’t see any legislation introduced, you sir are a fake and a liar, your goal is to redistribute the hard earned wealth to those who do nothing in the name of humanity.
I could understand things like taking all non violent offenders and instead of incarceration for incarceration sake training them in a community college format, but taxing the rich line gets real old , even to middle class because who says the middle class isn’t considered rich to them, and any fool knows tax increases on the rich do nothing but increase our cost of goods and services, we pay, DUH!!!!(see Jimmy carter’s era)
What is scariest to me is that so many who buy his BS.
What does Yes we can mean, To Obamma its Yes you can ignore the complete screaming of your brain against him and elect him because he is black and that is historic. Well America
neutered is also historic, a part of history I never hope to see, because in those days you can count on a war which is to terrible to contemplate.
And what the hell is all this cra* about taking cues from Europe, Europe would do nothing for us but laugh, and if it could to get more power by helping in our destruction, i would not be surprised for one to see it..
Than Obamma will say thats the way we have treated them, ala
America’s chickens are coming home to roost mentality.
In reality they would be speaking german right now.
I for one need a leader whose vision is not so corrupted
that he calls what is good, bad. America is not perfect, as no human beings are perfect, but in our freedom we can change what is wrong, But for Obamma’s info what is truly wrong is not the concept of America and freedom, its folks who are willing to play with the reality of a great people in the name of some vision he will not describe.
God help Us.. Come Jesus!!
he is and always will be his own worst enemy.
What’s even funnier is BO will have to face his wife at the end of the day. LOL
Personally, I think Freud would throw his arms up in consternation over this guy. I may be imagining it, but Obama is really not sounding good these days. And my suspicions about the quality of an Ivy League education are reinforced everytime he says “you know”. I had that beaten out of me by my high school junior year. The logic being: 1. If I knew what you were about to say you wouldn’t have to say it. 2. It’s s sign that the speaker does know what he/she wants to say. Sure he can read a script pretty well—right up to the point the teleprompter breaks down. But his everyday speech is juvenile at best.
That faux Southern accent he slips into drives me nuts. You know he didn't pick that up in Indonesia or Honolulu or New York or Boston.
