from yesterdays show...once again...I couldn't have said it better...




BEGIN TRANSCRIPT


Now, this business about what he inherited drives me batty. He keeps blaming it on his "predecessor." No president has ever done that. This is childish. It is immature. It's narcissistic. Let me tell you what Barack Obama "inherited," as president of the United States. Barack Obama inherited greatness. He inherited the birthplace of the individual. He inherited the defender of liberty at home and abroad, the United States of America. He inherited American exceptionalism.

He inherited the concept of equal opportunity and the right to fail and to try again. Barack Obama, as president, inherited the financial center of the world. He inherited the country that has successfully championed capitalism and widespread prosperity. Something else that President Obama also inherited: great responsibility. He inherited the great responsibility to lead the world's lone superpower. He inherited the responsibility to preserve and to strengthen free markets. He inherited the responsibility to continue the philosophy and tradition of a country founded on Judeo-Christian morals, ethics, and principles. He inherited the Constitution of the United States. He did not inherit the right to unilaterally rewrite it or to remake it. He swore to uphold it! Barack Obama did not inherit a mess.

He inherited the United States of America, where anything is possible, where greatness has been delivered to the world time after time in the form of private sector inventions, innovations, and advancements in products that improve people's lives for over 200 years. Barack Obama inherited all of that and a country of individuals energized by their liberty, individuals strengthened by their character. Barack Obama inherited a country that liberates the oppressed. Barack Obama inherited the greatest economy in the history of human civilization. That's all. Nothing more; nothing less. There is nothing to apologize for what he inherited! He may as well be a five-year-old crybaby spoiled brat. (crying) "I inherited this mess of my predecessor." He has nothing to apologize for regarding what he inherited. There is so much to be proud of in the United States of America. There's always a lot of work to be done to preserve it and to grow it, but not in the way Obama is proceeding. Obama is destroying what others before him created. He did not inherit a mess. He has created one -- and as the mess he creates deepens, so does his blaming it on his predecessors. That is gutless. It is childish. It is immature. It is unbecoming someone who serves as president of the United States.

I'd rather hear your opinion

I agree with Rush...like I said...I couldn't have said it any better...it does get old...hearing Obama say...he inherited this...ummmmmm...last time I looked...he was right their...in Congress...voting for this mess...

Are you saying he didn't inherit the mess we are in?

He did and had anyone else won the Presidential race, they too would have inherited this mess.

the mess was present and existing before his taking office, therefore inherited

every president inherited from past presidents. nothing has changed from that. Truman had a depression

his solutions...are...adding to the problem...have you ever seen a country...tax and spend it's way to prosperity ?...

haven't we been doing the same (lousy job) at maintaining a prosperous economy for the last x amt of years???

Limbaugh's credibilty is zero. Why the Republicans continue to kiss his ass is beyond me.

kind of ...but...in all honsesty...it was never this bad under Bush...it's gotten so much worse...so what does Obama want to do...more of the same...more and more spending...more and more goverment take overs...more and more goverment intrusion...telling companies how much they can pay...make...what to produce...value added tax...energy tax...healthcare tax...he needs to be stopped !!...I mean don't you think when the government tells you how to throw your garbage away...it's getting outta control...what kind of car you can drive...what kind of food you can eat...Liberals always think they know better...the pains in the butts !!

now I know you're kidding with me

you expect a man who has been in office less time than our previous president to come equipped with a magic wand? Wave the wand and everyone's booboo's magically disappear???

Not a very rational way of thinking. (jmo)

Long ago I learnt not to discuss politics or religion
Too many people saying too many things they have no clue about. One thing I agree is that if you didn't have it and you were given it you have inherited it.

exactly

Obama seems to recognize him and his wise opinions...why else would they single him out...monitor his show...what Liberals do...is focus in on his personality...vs...his opinion...which as Rush says...is right...99.9% of the time... ...remember...talent on loan from God...

in the arena of debate...on the issues...ideas...thoughts...opinions...it's pretty difficult to disagree with what he says...add to that...Mark Levine...throw in Newt and Antonin Scalia...could you imagine...a panel of Liberals...debating these guys...sheesh !... ...they'd have to stop the fight...

not difficult to disagree when someone makes up their own mind

People give me a break,if u don't like the U.S.A. then just go live some where else.So sick and fedup of people conplaining about the best country in the world.Just be glad that u live here.Try living somewhere else.

isn't freedom still apart of America???? aren't debates a way of keeping people in check and not blindly following everything we are told regardless of who is telling it?

every president inheritated something from the past presidents....does it do any good to blame the past or is it more productive to learn from it and work toward making the future better?

Actually I find it quite easy to disagree with most everything he says.
