RUSH: We have an entire half of the political system in meltdown over the fact that Donald Trump won this election and that their candidate lost it. We have Obama and his farewell address last night, which went longer than George Washington’s, Ronald Reagan’s, and Harry Truman’s combined. He mentioned himself 75 times, and it was pathetic. And do you know who was in the front row of that speech last night standing up with applause every now and then? Remember the name Robert Creamer? You’ve forgotten already?
Robert Creamer is the husband of Jan Schakowsky. Robert Creamer was exposed by hidden video — James O’Keefe, Project Veritas — as buying and paying for people to show up at Trump rallies and cause violence, to start protests, to start beating people up and having the media report that it was Trump supporters causing the violence. This is the guy who was caught admitting that the Hillary campaign was providing him the money to hire these people.
He resigned before the election. He resigned and claimed that he could not continue, he apologized — and there he is in the front row of the Obama farewell address last night giving standing ovation after standing ovation, and all Obama… It was pathetic, this speech last night. It was one lie after another about all the great things that have happened. The great economy, the great job creation. More job creation in the last eight years than any time in American history. Just full of delusional BS.
And it was filled with the usual liberal platitudes, nothing but struggle out there. Life in America is nothing but struggle, you gotta continue to try to overcome. Keep organizing, Obama said, keep organizing, grab a clipboard, get your signatures and start protesting, run for office yourself, but the shtruggle, the shtruggle is what defines us and we must continue with the shtruggle. Just pathetic, folks, the whole thing is pathetic.
These people who constructed lie after lie after lie to make us think that they were taking over the country, that they had become the majority, remain a pathetic minority. They are now rendered impotent ’cause they don’t know how to deal with somebody like Donald Trump, who just happens to be the epitome of a real person. They haven’t the slightest idea how to deal with him. His cabinet picks are just sailing through here. They are doing fantastic jobs.
Watch President Obama's full farewell speech
rump himself was able to shut down this silly story that CNN and BuzzFeed and John McCain and Rick Wilson and all of the intelligence agencies combined apparently conspired on to do whatever damage they could to Trump. And I’ve had heard some people say, “Well, Rush, it’s too late to prevent him from being elected, what will they do?” Can you say the word “impeachment”?
Folks, I’m warning you here. These people are at their wits’ end. They are desperate. Everything that they think they accomplished, not just the last eight years, but the last 50, is going to be set back, delayed, rolled back, repealed, destroyed within a couple of years. They are in abject panic and they will do whatever they have to do in their minds to stop the Trump agenda, to stop Trump from succeeding, and this is just the latest example of who they are.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Julie in Fairfield, Illinois. Julie, glad you called. Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you?
RUSH: Fine and dandy. Thank you much.
CALLER: Great. I wanted to call and talk to you about the farewell speech given last night by Obama. I wanted the listen. I don’t really agree with anything he says, but I just wanted to hear what he said for his last speech. And one of the biggest points I noticed was his point about race relations, how race relations are better than ever before and he really bragged on that, that he was the cause of improved race relations.
RUSH: Well, now, wait —
CALLER: What was most ironic is that he gave the speech last night in what has become the most violent city in America and what people are now calling Chiraq because of the terrible gun violence. And so, yeah, I thought that was a very ironic point that he made and really just contradicted the whole point in general.
RUSH: Yeah. Well, you know, I watched it under duress. I didn’t want to watch it. I’ve heard the speech, I’ve seen the guy, I knew what was gonna happen, but I had to watch it because professionalism mandated it, and it was delusional. The man is entirely delusional.
Now, you mentioned race. Grab sound bite 17. He actually admitted that he failed. He said (initiating Obama), “Race relations are better than they’ve ever been in 30, 40 years.” I don’t know how you can say that, but he said things bogus about the economy and jobs as well as. But then he said this. And in many people’s many people’s minds this is the sole reason he was elected. He was elected to fix race relations.
I can’t tell you, I couldn’t put a number on it, but it’s big, the number of white voters in America that voted for Obama thinking it was the end of racial strife. Thinking by electing a black, that America would be stating, “We’re not racist anymore.” And I warned everybody, “It’s not gonna happen, it’s gonna get worse. It’s going to get worse.” And it was, it did become worst. I’m convinced a lot of white Americans voted for him hoping it would mean the end of strife and division along racial lines. Here’s what Obama said about it last night.
OBAMA: After my election there was talk of a postracial America. And such a vision, however well intended, was never realistic.
RUSH: What?
OBAMA: Race remains a potent and often divisive force in our society.
RUSH: What?
OBAMA: Now, I’ve lived long enough to know that race relations are better than they were 10 or 20 or 30 years ago no matter what some folks say. (applause) You can see it not just in statistics, you see it in the attitudes of young Americans across the political spectrum. But we’re not where we need to be. And all of us have more work to do.
RUSH: Right. Okay, so “After my election there was talk of a postracial America.” No, he talked about it. The Democrats talked about it. It was one of their sales pitches. It was direct, it was innuendo, they did it in a number of different ways. And now he says it was never real, it was never even realistic. “After my election there was talk of a –” There was postpartisan, we were gonna end partisanship, too, remember that? And we’re gonna be loved by every nation around the world. Basically we’re gonna have a utopia here. The planet was gonna heal. That’s right. The sea levels were gonna start receding and the temperatures were gonna start going down.
And the cows were gonna be farting less, and that meant less methane out there, and people are gonna be eating fewer McDonald’s, and it was just gonna be utopia from coast to coast, from poll to poll. Included in that it was going to be postracial. And last night: I never said that, and that was never realistic, that was never gonna happen. This is the kind of double dealing that we got from this administration every day. And we’re gonna keep getting it, by the way.
Dave in Cocoa, Florida. Great to have you, sir. Hi.
CALLER: Rush, pleasure and honor. I’ve been listening to you forever and I finally got on. Listen, my wife and I were watching, just gonna parrot what you’re saying, we’re watching this circus yesterday, or last night, and we’re sitting there going, “This guy’s delusional.” I mean, the growth in this country is like one-and-a-half percent, terrible. He’s probably the worst president ever to walk into the White House, other than Jimmy Carter, but I think he’s even worse than Jimmy Carter. And I’m in sales, and I’ll tell you something. There is such a thing as bad salesman. This guy’s a bad salesman. He tells you what you want to hear. He doesn’t tell you the real deal.
RUSH: Oh, yeah. Yeah. In fact, you want to hear the biggest applause line from last night? Grab sound bite number 18. We have time to squeeze it in. Biggest applause line last night. Listen.
OBAMA: We’ve ended torture, worked to close Gitmo.
RUSH: No, you haven’t.
OBAMA: Reformed our laws governing surveillance to protect privacy and civil liberties. That’s why I reject discrimination against Muslim Americans — (cheers) — who are just as patriotic as we are. (applause)
RUSH: Now listen to the applause. We didn’t edit it. It goes on and on and on, biggest applause line of the night. Stop and think of that, biggest applause line of the night is when he says, “That’s why I reject discrimination against Muslim Americans.” Really? That’s the big deal?
Obama’s years were a clown car driven by a train wreck.
Robert Creamer’s lunatic spouse, Congresscreature Jan Schakowsky (D-9th) was screaming that under Obama for the past eight years there have been “no scandals.”
Bob (an ex-felon) and Jan are a pair of scandalous people who had access to the White House!
No scandals. Right. I did listen to the speech long enough to hear him brag that there had been no terror attacks in the US during his reign. He used a bunch of modifiers to try to make his point “factual”. I turned the channel after that.
Yep, he’s out of his ever hating mind.
He could have rose above it and been a true leader of all the people.
Instead he frittered 8 years of away in bitterness and revenge.
In the end he made it tougher on nearly everyone.
Hopefully, WE shall overcome someday,again...?
Bambi isn’t going anywhere. He will show the same lack of class out of office as he did while in. The MSM will solicit his opinion on everything Trump does and he will violate tradition and give it.
He pedaled away as fast as his skinny legs could carry him.
Does this mean that his Presidential Library will be call President I Library (abbreviated as despicable me libary)?
What's really pathetic, is that liberals buy Obama's self-congratulatory schlock, hook line and sinker, yet still believe that his performance in office has nothing to do with their abysmal election losses over the last eight years.
Hey liberals - if Obama really accomplished everything he claims he did, then why is your party at its lowest level of political power since the 1920s?
Don't hurt your brains trying to process those opposing ideas.
PLEEEEEEEASE Obama!!!! GET THE HELL OUT OF DODGE and leave the silverware!
Normally if you have to tell people how good you are or how well you have done, then just the opposite is true.
I have a question regarding Rush’s new website and hope you can clear up something for me since you do a lot of his site comments on FR. When I click on his topics and begin reading them, the pics don’t work. What I get is just a small icon and where the full photos should be. Is it me or is there a technical problem with the new format. I never had this problem with his previous website. My computer uses Microsoft Windows 10. I just thought I would give you a shout and see if you are hearing this from others and if you are using a method to correct the pic situation when you prepare you posts. Thanks.....ES
I haven’t checked out Rush’s site, but he said today that being new it will probably have some technical problems that will need to be worked out. He said to be patient.
