RUSH: I have to be honest. I have to warn you, give you a barf alert here for the next series of bites, not just the excerpts from the speech by The Messiah but also we have a couple of reaction shots or bites from the Drive-Bys, the disciples who are over there soon to die of anal poisoning they’re following Obama around so much. Let’s just hit them in order. Here’s the next one. You have been warned.
OBAMA: We acknowledge that there is no more powerful example than the one each of our nations projects to the world. Will we reject torture and stand for the rule of law? Will we welcome immigrants from other lands and shun discrimination against those who don’t look like us or worship like we do and keep the promise of equality and opportunity for all of our people.
(crowd cheering)
OBAMA: People of Berlin, people of the world, this is our moment. This is our time.
RUSH: All right. So Obama, he’s gone now beyond the shores of the United States. He’s not running for president here. This “citizen of the world” stuff. He’s post-national now. He really is not — he doesn’t look at himself as — an American citizen. He lives in America, likes the country, but he’s a citizen of the world. And he has to go over to Germany, and I don’t know about you, but I’m frosted. That last bite was Barack Obama ripping his own country. There is no other country around the world that’s being ripped for torture, and there are places where it’s actually happening. You want to talk about Cuba? You want to talk about China? You want to talk about Russia? Ever heard of Siberia? You want to talk about many of the Middle Eastern countries where Obama just was.
Torture happens all over the place. It’s part of Islam, for crying out loud if women do the wrong things! And there he is in Germany criticizing his own country. Not by name, but we all know. “Will we reject torture and stand for the rule of law?” He’s in Germany, don’t forget. I haven’t heard that the Germans were torturing people. Have you? “Will we welcome immigrants from different lands?” Do the Germans have an immigration problem? Well, they do but I mean, it’s the exact opposite. They’re letting anybody in. So is the U.K. That’s their problem: they are letting anybody in. He ripped his own country, here. He took shots at the United States of America while in Berlin speaking as a post-nationalist citizen of the world. He continued on that theme.
OBAMA: People of Berlin, people of the world, this is our moment. This is our time. I know my country has not perfected itself. (cheers) At times we struggle to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people, we’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.
RUSH: Okay. So now he has to go apologize for the United States of America. What is it? He’s black, he’s running for President of the United States, “We haven’t perfected ourselves.” You know, that’s a key phrase, by the way, is one of the things that drives liberalism is the fact that they think people and institutions can be perfected. They think they can be perfect. And when nothing is perfect, then everything’s wrong. But this is just beyond the pale. He’s talking to Germans and making excuses for the United States of America, which to this day defends and protects Germany? (interruption) Exactly right. This is insulting. It is demeaning. “We have made our share of mistakes. There are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.” This is Iraq. But he’s not a candidate, folks. He’s just a guy strolling through the forest there who happened to see a microphone and a podium.
He says, “Oh, there’s about 100,000 people out there. I think I’ll go make a speech.” This is change. But ladies and gentlemen, if you are wondering when you hear Obama talk about change, this is it. The change is: America sucks, America’s deficient, America’s guilty, but America is now willing to pay the price because we have a Messiah who understands the faults, the egregious errors made by the United States and her people. We are racists, sexists, bigots, homophobes. We discriminate against people who worship differently than we do, have skin color different from ours, and we have not always behaved properly in the world. And we torture. And we, of course, are biased against people who want to get into our country illegally. We have a lot to pay for. Not to mention that we are primarily the country responsible for climate change, shrinking the Atlantic coastline, melting the Arctic ice. This is the change. You want change? This is the change. Now, I think he knew he was on some thin ice. So this was next.
OBAMA: I also know how much I love America. I know that for more than two centuries we have strived at great cost and great sacrifice to form a more perfect union, to seek with other nations a more hopeful world.
RUSH: We have strived? We have strived? He has no concept of American exceptionalism. He has no concept of the true greatness of this country, nor what has caused it, what’s behind it. Ignorant. Now, the barf alert continues. We have two audio sound bites from the Drive-By disciples following The Messiah. Here first is Andrea Mitchell of the National Barack Channel.
MITCHELL: The soaring rhetoric, lofty hopes, addressing a crowd that German officials say is more than 100,000 strong. Presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, echoing Ronald Reagan as well as others who have spoken here, said that the walls that now must come down, must be torn down are the walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; Christian and Muslim and Jew, and that the walls between these people cannot stand.
RUSH: Channeling or “echoing” Ronald Reagan? pimping and distorting Ronald Reagan would be more like it. Here’s Newsweek’s Richard Wolffe also speaking on the National Barack Channel.
WOLFFE: We’ve seen him going through these with leaders and press conferences. But clearly what he’s accomplished is that image: the giant crowd between the Victory Column and the Brandenburg Gate and a crowd waving American flags. I mean, when you contrast that with what we’ve seen with President Bush, generating business crowds protesting against his big presence, protesting against the war; that’s really the image he is trying to project to Americans saying, “You can vote for me and I will unite the world, be a popular president,” something obviously that has been very unusual over the last seven years.
RUSH: I told you, I warned you people. I warned you people, barf alert. So now we’ve got a Brit journalist, at least a Brit-accent journalist: Yeah, Bush draws big crowds but they are to protest, but here’s Obama proving he can unite the world.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Bill in Morgantown, West Virginia, you are up. Hello.
CALLER: Mr. Rush, it’s such an honor to be speaking with the Maha Rushie.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: You know, I wonder if Obama is going to be using this as his experience, you know, with speaking with foreign leaders because up to this point, he has absolutely no experience in that area whatsoever. This is something that our president definitely needs some kind of experience. Maybe this — in my opinion — maybe this will give him experience for the next election maybe if he continues this, but, sir, I don’t think that this year’s going to be enough experience for him to prove to the American people that he can deal with the extreme problems that are going on in the world today.
RUSH: You misunderstand the point. There aren’t any severe problems because Obama will solve them. He’s The Messiah. We’re going to remake the world and unite the world with change. There aren’t any problems as long as we elect Obama.
CALLER: Would Obama accept the fact that we don’t need change, we need dollars to buy a gallon of gas now?
RUSH: No, no, no, no, that’s minuscule. In fact, Obama doesn’t care what your gasoline — if you remember, he is not upset about the price. He’s just upset about how quickly it increased.
CALLER: Oh, yeah.
RUSH: Remember that?
CALLER: I remember that. You know, sir, if I could say just one more thing before I let you get on with this wonderful, wonderful show of yours.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: If I could ask Obama to put on a uniform while he’s over there and get down in the trenches with our boys that are over there fighting and actually get some military experience.
RUSH: There won’t be any need for the military. See, you are still not getting it. Messiahs don’t have armies. They don’t have divisions. They don’t need them. There won’t be a need for armies. He won’t have to know the military because there won’t be any military, anywhere. I don’t think people quite understand here what’s going to happen. Obama’s going to get elected, he’s going to get inaugurated and the world’s going to lay down their arms. Everybody’s going to destroy their nukes after we do ours, everybody’s going to get rid of their AK-47s after we get rid of ours. These things, the world was going to follow the example of The Messiah. That’s what he wants people to think. Now, I know this sounds very strange but there are people living in this country who are alive today who are prepared to believe that. Many of them make up Obama’s supporters even as we speak.
