Caller Angela reams Rush up one side and down the other for not questioning Obama's bona fides back when it would have made a difference.
Telling him he and the pubies in high places owe us an apology and should hang their heads in shame for not calling his citizenship status into question before he was even nominated.
Rush got VERY defensive, sounded like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar...
True, Trump trumping Obama works because Trump has nothing to lose.
That is very true, but someone pointed out that he may be lying about who baby daddy is.
Whether that's true or not, it makes no difference. It's a losing issue. Everyone already knows that, and doesn't care. That issue is not going to get him out of office, or even stop him from being reelected.
If we can prove he wasn't born here, or committed some fraud. That will get him out, hopefully in handcuffs.
But there is the natural born requirement in the constitution for two citizen parents based on understanding of the term when the document was written. Otherwise anchor babies born to illegal aliens would qualify to run for president and surely that was not intended. And shouldn't the burden of proof be on Obama to prove, via a long form birth certificate provided and certified by the state of his birth to disinterested or at least politically balanced authorities, that he meets the natural born criteria? Or does Obama get a pass because he was able to stonewall all verification attempts before assuming office? Other elected officials have been removed once fraud came to light.
I want to see the long form BC as well, but until it surfaces, exactly what is there to talk about, other than hypothetical scenarios? In the big picture, sans evidence, it's a losing cause, at least in terms of today's reality.
For the same reason Clinton could lie under oath and get away with it.
For the same reason Vince Foster's murderer can get away with it.
For the same reason Hillary Clinton can be a serial liar and still be Secretary of State.
For the same reason Attorney General Janet Reno can use the FBI to attack US citizens, kill them and get away with it.
For the same reason armed government thugs can invade a citizen's home and rip a six year old child from the guy who rescued him to return the child to Fidel Castro's Cuba.
All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
Every “anti-birther” in the realms of politics and/or the “media” that I’ve read or heard omits acknowledging the second “leg” of the definition of “native born citizen,” to wit: (1) birth on U. S. territory, and (2) having two parents, both U. S. citizens.

Almost forgot...GO, Indians!!!
Exactly! I'm thankful Rush is addressing the issue, regardless of how thorough he is/isn't.
He spent **less** than 5 minutes making JOKES about Obama’s eligibility, then he said essentially said “See! I DID talk about it! “
It has only been since January of THIS year that Rush has given any significant time and treated the topic with ANY respect. If Obama’s eligibility is a SERIOUS issue now, then it was in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Rush IGNORED it.
SHAME SHAME SHAME of Rush and the other so-called conservative bobgle heads.
The sad thing is that, as I’ve read here, having such an opinion makes one:
1. A Soros troll
2. An Obama supporter
Guess Limbaugh has just been faking it for a couple of decades.
That stinkin’ Obama-supporting Limbaugh!!!
But once you crack that Obama nut, Obama is going down. This is for all the marbles. Obama gets exposed - he’s gone. The Rats know and we know it. It is the very reason they are foaming at the mouth over the issue. And it’s why FR over the last 3 years has had OBot trolls come out of the woodwork.
Rush's nose is growing.
I was born in Massachusetts, and I am not eligible to be president.
After the alleged dirty dealings in Illinois, including allegedly having a judge unseal his state senate opponent's embarrassing divorce decree, maybe the Klintons finally found someone they had to back away from. Maybe Barry's investigators were better than Bill's/Hillary's investigators.
I listened. Almost ran off the road. I’ve tried for months to call in that show. They screen your call, and as soon as you say you’re bringing up the BC issue they drop you.
Unfortunately, the caller was uneducated. When Rush chided her, saying that Hawaii had released a bona fide short form, she didn’t respond.]
She should have said, “Rush, there is some question on the validity of that form, but even so, why don’t they release the long form with the name of the doctor who delivered him etc.”
He continued to be defensive with her.
She should have said,
“Look, Rush. You dropped the ball. You and all the rest of them. The BC is not the issue. This issue is that even if he were born in the USA he’s not a natural born citizen. And something else, Rush, where you and the rest of them dropped the ball, why has Obama not given us his school transcript? Why is it that not one person remembers him at Occidental College? Why aren’t you asking “why?” Rush.”
But she didn’t.
We should call everyday... all of us until someone gets on there who can eloquently say what needs to be said.
The best part about the Rush Limbaugh Show? People dislike him - and listen anyway. :)
Rush should offer his listeners a serious apology.
The SAME issues that exist today, existed in 2008. Not even one item concerning Obama’s eligibility has changed. Only **now** does Rush start covering the issue. I am disgusted with him.
