BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know it's amazing to watch this. Now the Egyptian army is saying we will act if protesters resist change. What? Resist change? The protesters are demanding change. You know, I arrived here today outta sorts. I'm really not feeling all that good. I don't know why. It's just one of these straight-line sorta blah days. Today the job is the job. Let me just put it that way. Very rarely, ladies and gentlemen, is this job work. Today, it's work. Not because of the subject matter; just because… I don't know. I am so irritated at things I can't begin to tell you, but I'm not gonna bleed on you. I'm just saying it's hard to keep up with here. The Army says there's gonna be big trouble if the protesters resist change. Who is it that's been demanding the change? The protesters. Others are saying, "Hey, Mubarak is still in power." The CIA says he might leave. NBC says he's outta there. Fox is saying we're pretty sure here's outta there. CNN is saying, well, foreign ministry says he's not going anywhere. So in the middle of all this, our young boy president has deigned to speak. He's in Marquette, Michigan, at Northern Michigan University, and this gets worse as we go along here on these sound bites. He spoke about the reports that Hosni Mubarak might step down.
OBAMA: We are following today's events in Egypt very closely and we'll have more to say as this plays out. But what is absolutely clear is that we are witnessing history unfold. It's a moment of transformation that's taking place because the people of Egypt are calling for change. They've turned out in extraordinary numbers representing all ages and all walks of life, but it's young people who have been at the forefront, a new generation. Your generation --
RUSH: Gonna throw up.
OBAMA: -- who want voices to be heard. So going forward we want those young people and we want all Egyptians to know America will continue to do everything that we can to support an orderly and genuine transition to democracy in Egypt.
RUSH: That is horrible. That is as shameless as anything yet. This is co-opting whatever's going on over there and relating it to his reelection campaign of 2012 in an attempt to get out the youth vote, making the speech to a bunch of skulls full of mush at a university, telling them, "That's essentially you over there. That's the young people, wanting change." What Obama was telling those people, "The Egyptians want their own me. The Egyptians want their own Obama." My gosh, this guy is shameless. That, folks, is just extraordinary. "A new generation, your generation who want their voices to be heard. So going forward we want those young people, all Egyptians to know America --" Good Lord, take it and make it about yourself. That's disgusting. He has no clue what this is. He has no clue what this is about. Nobody does. But now it's been appropriated. It's about Obama's reelection campaign. "We are watching history unfold." Doesn't history unfold every day? We've been watching history unfold for two years here, folks, and we're not happy about it.
The real question is, or should be, will these events help the United States? Are they in our best interests? It doesn't sound odd to say that. Believe it or not, that's what the US president supposed to be thinking. The US president is supposed to be thinking how does this help us in the Middle East, what does this do, what is this saying about US interests? He couldn't care less. This has now been appropriated for his reelection campaign. To tell a bunch of college students that essentially it's them, your counterparts, your colleagues, your compatriots in Egypt are calling for change, which is of course what his campaign was all about. This is despicable, folks, I'm sorry. This is so beneath the presidency to look at this, to talk this way, and this is the second time he's done it, to try and get out in front of the mob and now own it a second time. RUSH: We mentioned earlier here that a coup appears to be taking place, a transfer of power from Hosni Mubarak to the military, which is outside of Egyptian constitutional procedures. Now, apparently what's happening here, the power is gonna be handed over to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which is not what the Egyptian constitution says should happen. The Supreme Council of the Egyptian Armed Forces consists of Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, defense minister and commander of the armed forces, Lieutenant General Samie Annan, the military chief of staff, the chief of operations and the heads of the Egyptian army. And they are admitting that the transfer of power would occur outside of the constitutional framework. The Egyptian constitution stipulates that a resigning president would be replaced by the speaker of the House and that elections would be held within two months. However this source said the military council would not be governing under the constitution or any legislation and would have to define the format under which they are taking power.
So the military is gonna take over and define what kind of power they have. Now, these reports follow the Supreme Council meeting and the release of a statement that the council titled "statement number one." Now, this is eerie because this is almost exactly what happened in 1952 in Egypt. July 23rd, 1952, a group of army officers calling itself the Free Officers Movement led by Gamal Abdel Nasser overthrew the monarchy and a revolutionary command council composed of about a dozen top members of the movement became Egypt's government, and then Nasser overthrew them and became a ruling monarch. This is why I said it's the second revolution you have to pay attention to.
Meanwhile, our young president tries to tell us that what's happening here is no more than a replication of his campaign, young people demanding change, young people looking for their version of Barack Obama. In one of the most shameless co-opting of events -- my God, what kind of narcissist must this guy actually really be? Essentially, if all this plays out, essentially a military coup taking place, and Obama wants to say, "Yep, yep, yep, these guys are over there, just what happened here in America, they're looking for their Obama." No, he didn't use those words, he didn't have to. Go back to sound bite 24. Obama's reaction to this today. And listen to this again. He doesn't say those words, but it sounds like a campaign speech of his back in the 2008 campaign.
OBAMA: We are following today's events in Egypt very closely.
RUSH: Right.
OBAMA: And we'll have more to say as this plays out.
RUSH: Sure.
OBAMA: But what is absolutely clear --
RUSH: Yeah.
OBAMA: -- is that we are witnessing history unfold.
RUSH: We do every day.
OBAMA: It's a moment of transformation that's taking place --
RUSH: Yeah.
OBAMA: -- because the people of Egypt are calling for change.
RUSH: Like me.
OBAMA: They've turned out in extraordinary numbers representing all ages and all walks of life, but it's young people who have been at the forefront, a new generation, your generation who want their voices to be heard --
RUSH: Change.
OBAMA: -- and so going forward we want those young people and we want all Egyptians to know America will continue to do everything that we can --
RUSH: All right.
OBAMA: -- to support an orderly and genuine transition --
RUSH: Right, right.
OBAMA: -- to democracy in Egypt.
RUSH: He's making a speech here to college students in Marquette, Michigan. It's all about change, all about finding a new Obama. Young people. It's a military coup. Maybe the officers are young.
Can we put a stamp on Obama’s forhead and get him over their ASAP?? As Bugs Bunny used to say....So long Screwy see you in St. Louis....
Crappola,
Evan America doesn’t want this narcissit turd.
I listened to Obama and I heard the same thing. It’s all about him all the time. Everything that happens here, and in the world, is seen through that narcissistic lens. And he wasn’t even aware that he had no clue what was going on, and that the the government he purports to lead had no clue what was going on. It was surreal. They have completely emasculated the CIA.
...and here he is ladies and gentlemen, the BSAOTUS.
That is sooooo funny.
All About Me
Written by: Dave Davies (formerly of the Kinks)
Can’t you see it’s all about me
Can’t kick the habit, just got to have it
Attention, give it all to me
I’ll draw you into all my confusion
Join in my madness, feed my delusion
I will entice you and patronise you
Then steal your secrets, just to discard you
Can’t you see it’s all about me
Can’t kick the habit, just got to have it
C’est la vie, je suis magnifique
Please help me brother, don’t run for cover
It’s all about me
It’s all about me
Moi, aha Louis, sacre bleu
Please help me brother, don’t run for cover
Can’t kick the habit, just gotta have it
I will abuse you if I should choose to
You only matter to serve and flatter Moi!
Can it be a mental disease, aha
Please help me brother, don’t blow my cover
Je suis magnifique, c’est la vie
Can’t kick the habit, just gotta have it
It’s all about me
It’s all about me
The R.I.C. should be sweating bullets. He’s watching what happens when most of a country doesn’t want a government/president anymore. And they’re doing it without guns-so far.
With at least half of this country very unhappy with him, Obama would do well to imagine what sufficient provocation would cause here.
And would he take his own advice if it did?
Agree - when it’s all said and done he’s 100% genuine phony - and at some level people either know it now or will at some point figure it out. The “historic” presidency is a house of cards built on quicksand.
Henceforth I shall refer to him as the SCROTUS.
“Can we put a stamp on Obama’s forhead and get him over their ASAP?? “
It would have be on his nose. The birth certificate goes on his forehead.
I call him R.I.C.
Raghead In Chief
Head Narcissist in Charge
Works for me... ;^)
