A caller to Rushs show today said that in her speech Obama stated, Unlike so many of you, Barack and I have... regarding teaching their kids empathy and morals. He said it was right around the six minute mark.
Shortly after the call Rush said that multiple people had verified that the caller was wrong, had misheard it etc.
I decided to see for myself. I watched it at the ABC news site expecting to hear her say and like so many of you. I was surprised to hear very clearly unlike. Why would Rush try to cover it up?
Email Rush your letter...ask him.
Could she have said “And like...”?
You are right she did say “UNLIKE” you. At about the 6 min mark.
Both she and Barak are sloppy speakers. I hated that he always said “ta” instead of “to”, for example. She doesn’t clearly say “and like you”, but to believe they would broadcast a video with her saying something as stupid as “unlike you” is crazy.
I listened to her speech as well, and at the 6:07 mark I heard the unlike you sentence as well.
As clear as this pronunciation is, I believe that Rush and others will give the other interpretation so as to avoid the immediate backlash of RACISM!
