Rush ended his radio show
talking about this issue with a caller, and
again, with Ken Hutcherson.
Here's some of the transcript from those two articles.
Jesus Endorses Barack Obama
February 03, 2012
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Ted in Suffolk, Virginia. Hi. I'm glad you waited. It's Open Line Friday.
Hello.
CALLER: It's an honor to talk to you, Rush. I appreciate you taking my call.
I take exception with Obama's misuse of Scripture to promote his personal agenda concerning the capital gains tax and raising the taxes.
If he really understood what this Scripture meant, it really means just the opposite.
It means personal stewardship, personal accountability.
It really says that every one of us born in this world is gifted to produce.
Gifted so that we can give back to our families, provide for ourselves.
It does also say that, you know, some of us have more gifts than others.
But everyone is a "10" at least one thing so that we all can provide and contribute to ourselves and our family and the community.
RUSH: At the risk of being disrespectful because I clearly don't mean to be,
but since Obama has a direct line to Jesus --
CALLER: (chuckling)
RUSH: -- I'd like him to ask a question.
CALLER: Yeah. RUSH: "Dear sir: Where are we supposed to get the money
that we are then to give everybody else?"
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: I mean, where does it come from?
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: Charity is wonderful, but you have to have it to give it away.
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: How do you get it?
CALLER: Yeah. And that Scripture doesn't saythat some of us are incapacitatedwhere we can't get any gain, where we need everybody else.
It does saythat everyone -- every single person born with our DNA --
we have the gifting to be able to provide for ourselves.
RUSH: Well, this is what I find offensive about it isthe attempt to attach virtue to poverty.
It's an unfortunate thing, and they need care and attention and so forth.
There's the right kind of compassion, too, which is aimed at getting them up and out of it.
Not maintaining them there with constant, never-ending sympathy so that they all vote for you.
The whole notion thatObama's got a direct line to Jesus
and Jesus would agree with doing everything we can to see to itthat people don't work
and that we just "take care of" those who don't work?
This attaching virtue to this... It's a typical liberal trick.
You know, at Christmas back in the eighties and in the early nineties, when homelessness was all the rage,guess who were the poster people for homelessness?Mary and Joseph!
Mary and Joseph.
Every one of us was just a paycheck away from being Mary and Joseph. They were "homeless."They were trundling through the Middle East.
They were desperately looking for the inn.
They didn't guarantee their reservation with the American Express Card.
They got there, their room had been given away to the mules,and they were in trouble.
But they were the modern equivalent of the homeless.
They were the modern equivalent of Mary and Joseph.
So the left always try these kinds of things. It's highly offensive.
I totally understand.
And this is from a guy who has a brother living in a six-by-nine-foot hut, by the way!
Don't forget that. Not even a sign that says "Home, Sweet Hut" anywhere.

And here's part of Rush's second article
talking to Reverend Dr. Ken Hutcherson.
The Hutch Talks Politics and Super Bowl
February 03, 2012
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: We happily welcome back to our program the Reverend Dr. Ken Hutcherson who joins us from the Antioch Bible Church in Seattle.
I assume you're at church. You might be at home.
Welcome back to the program, Hutch.
How are you, sir?
THE HUTCH: (chuckling) May I say, brother: You are a sick man.
RUSH: (laughing)
CALLER: Obama's brother doesn't have "Home, Sweet Hut," anywhere?
RUSH: Sick?
THE HUTCH: "Home, Sweet Hut." (laughing)
RUSH: (laughing) He's got a brother that lives in Kenya in a six-by-nine-foot hut.
THE HUTCH: (laughing)
RUSH: And he's got an aunt that just last year got running water in her house.
THE HUTCH: (laughing)
RUSH: This guy lives on a dollar a month.
THE HUTCH: Whew!
RUSH: $20 would make such a difference to this guy's life, and Obama won't come across.
But he's talking to Jesus.
THE HUTCH: (laughing) Hey, you know, you're talking to the right man when you say what Jesus has to say.
RUSH: Yeah, but the scary thing is Jesus talking back to him, Hutch.
THE HUTCH: (laughing)
RUSH: He thinks He is.
THE HUTCH: (laughing)
RUSH: Look what He's telling him!
THE HUTCH: Well, he's definitely not telling him Scripture, because Scripture tells me:If a man don't work, he don't eat.
RUSH: Exactly right.
THE HUTCH: Hey, you gotta be praying for your brother up here, man.
We're fighting for our life up here.
RUSH: Let me reintroduce Dr. Hutcherson. He is affectionately known as "The Hutch."Dr. Hutcherson presided at the wedding of myself and the lovely Kathryn -- the greatest, best wife ever.
And he is a former linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys, the Seattle Seahawks, and the San Diego Chargers in the National Football League.
He currently is a pastor in Seattle.
You were the "mike" linebacker. What was your number?
THE HUTCH: I was number 59, my brother.
RUSH: Number 59.
And at the time he played with the Cowboys, "Too Tall" Jones was on the team with that group.

RUSH: Well, that's the old argument: General manager and owner don't go together.
Let's get to the Super Bowl. Are you excited about this one?
THE HUTCH: I'm excited. I'm excited. But you still have...
I gotta get you to pray for me, brother, like I said.We're fighting for our life up here.
We had four Republican be stab me in the back up here,
and they voted for same-sex marriage, bro,
and we lost in the Senate.
We've still got the House to go and that is just absolutely ridiculous of what's going on --
and, bro? We're gonna win.
RUSH: Did they lie to you?
THE HUTCH: We're gonna win,
but these Republicans are never gonna be sitting again when we have our next election.
RUSH: Did they mislead you?
Did they lead you to believe that they were not gonna vote the way they did?
THE HUTCH: Well, a bunch of them was going back and forth. Sitting on the fence, back and forth.
Sitting on the fence, sitting on the fence, and we knew that we had one that was gonna go,
which was probably gonna take 'em over, but we had three go.
And if they woulda stayed we woulda won the Senate by one vote.
And, people, we need you.
You all need to be praying for us, if they want to keep up what I'm doing, I hope.
Can I give my blog out?
RUSH: Yeah, sure.
THE HUTCH: If anyone wants to keep up with us it's the HutchPost.org. Www.HutchPost.org.
We gonna win this fight, bro, because I don't know what it means to lose.
RUSH: What do you...? Hutch Post, P-o-s-t?
THE HUTCH: Mmm-hmm.
RUSH: HutchPost.org.
THE HUTCH: Yes.
RUSH: The Hutch, a man of the cloth, is doing the Lord's work.
THE HUTCH: You wanted to ask me a question about the loss of jobs, didn't you?
RUSH: Say that again?
THE HUTCH: I heard you say in the second hour you wanted to ask The Hutch,"How can these numbers with that many jobs lost be a positive?"
RUSH: Yeah. Yeah. Do you get an answer for this?
THE HUTCH: Oh, absolutely! You know I do.
It is [Million Man] Math Made Easy by Louis Farrakhan.
RUSH: (laughing)
THE HUTCH: (laughing)
RUSH: Louis Farrakhan's Math Made Easy!
Have you ever thought about running for office rather than --
THE HUTCH: I did.
RUSH: -- rely on these guys?
THE HUTCH: You know, I did.
Before Bush ran the first time I was courted and was asked ten different times to run for the presidency.
RUSH: (laughing)
THE HUTCH: And I said,"No, I'm called by God --
and I have a lot more power as a pastor than I would as president."
Plus, people won't be looking at me as much in my own house, see?
RUSH: (laughing)
THE HUTCH: (laughing)
RUSH: We're talking to Dr. Ken Hutcherson, former linebacker in the National Football League
and now Antioch Bible Church. He is the pastor there.
THE HUTCH: Thank you.
RUSH: The fortunate pastor presided my wedding on June 5th.
Now, Hutch, let's go to the Super Bowl. You keep trying to avoid talking about this.
Every time I bring it up you go to gay marriage
or you go to the fact you ran for president or you want to talk about Math Made Easy.
What is it?
THE HUTCH: (laughing) I just don't want you to be wrong, that's all.
RUSH: How do you know where I'm going on this?
THE HUTCH: I think you do. You gotta go with the Patriots, right?
RUSH: Why do I have to go with the Patriots?
THE HUTCH: (garbled)
