Rush reacts to SOTU address

A great speech...for the low-information voter. What do they believe?

"There is no relationship whatsoever between Obama’s agenda and the direction of the country."

Here's a link to that Gallup poll...and a smaller clip of that honest condensed version of the SOTU address parodied by Paul Shanklin. Man, does Shanklin hit the nail on the head!

But then comes Rush's revelation...

"You may have figured this out long ago, but it just hit me -- and if you figured it out long ago and you've been trying to get through here and tell me, I wish you'd have gotten through. For those of you who figured it out and I didn't, I'm just now getting to it. I apologize for being a late arrival to the party, but now -- now -- it all makes sense. For five years Obama has never once allowed himself to be seen as governing.

He is constantly campaigning against mysterious forces who have ill intentions trying to harm you and this great country. There are these figures behind the screen, behind the curtain. Romney was one. Bush was one. There are others. Obama's trying to expose them. Throughout history dictators, for example, have never really been blamed for the bad things that happened in their countries. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, none of them were blamed by the rank-and-file citizenry.

They were, instead, the leaders of the revolution!

They were the great figures trying to change all the evil that was happening to everybody. Here's Obama."

"This is what you and I are gonna have to learn and learn fast. No matter what is said, no matter what evidence happens, no matter what's reported, it will not be possible to connect Obama to the negativity that's happening in the country today, because he's campaigning against it himself. That's the reason for the perpetual, never-ending campaign. It is why, in eight years, he will never allow himself for even one day to be seen as actually governing or presiding over any of this.

He's always going to be running against the very things he's doing."

This explains so much: a profoundly charasmatic leader who is perceived as fighting powerful evil forces, casting others as responsible for all the problems...and a complicit & activist media willing to make it happen.

"...Obama wants no responsibility for anything. He doesn't want to be perceived as responsible. He is shirking all responsibility by refusing to govern, by refusing to compromise, by refusing to take 'yes' for an answer. ... There's no common ground. There isn't any way there can be bipartisanship...but beyond that, it's the last thing Obama wants!"

Bingo!
