Why Does Rush Limbaugh Think Dems Moving Prez’s DNC Speech Is One of the ‘Most Significant’ Obama Events?

Sep. 5, 2012 4:27pm Jason Howerton

Rush Limbaugh Says Dems Decision to Move Obamas DNC Speech Is a Huge Thing

Rush Limbaugh (AP)

On Wednesday, conservative talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh argued that the decision to move President Obama’s convention speech to a smaller indoor venue is a “huge thing,” and warned listeners not to “doubt” him.

“This is one of the most significant events involving Obama in the last 6 months,” Limbaugh said. “This is a huge thing. Do not doubt me.”

Limbaugh said he doesn’t believe that it really was the weather that prompted the Democratic National Convention to move Obama’s speech. That was just their cover, he said, quoting a local Charlotte weather man who also questioned the hasty move when there was only a 20 percent chance of rain.

“[I]t’s a simple question.. if you had a #Panthers game, Concert or Soccer match with a 20% chance of storms would you cancel 24hrs prior?” meteorologist Brad Panovich posted on Twitter.

“Severe threat is almost zero Thursday night & chance of rain is 20%,” Panovich wrote.

The radio host said the fact that Obama can’t fill Bank of America Stadium, which holds roughly 75,000 people, shows that people are not as excited this time around to hear the president’s message. Politico reports that Obama’s speech has been moved to Time Warner Cable Arena, which holds 50,000 fewer people than the stadium.

“[When] you have the ego that Obama has….You are used to filling auditoriums and you can’t fill them anymore. That’s big,” he added. “It is not new. He has been not filling arenas of 18,000 to 20,000 in Ohio and Iowa. This is just the latest.”

Limbaugh talked about the “reality” of Obama’s popularity versus the perception depicted in the media. He noted that Obama’s approval was at just 43 percent in a recent Gallup poll and added that people have been relentlessly mocking the president using Clint Eastwood’s “empty chair” reference from his speech at the Republican National Convention.

“I am telling you, when the crowds no longer show up… that’s a sobering day. That is a tough reality.” he said.

20 percent chance of rain? Smart move Barry. You don’t want to take a chance and get any teleprompters wet. The horrors we’d face watching our incompetent leader of the free world stumbling about with the verbal mash of old 2008 lies with new 2012 lies and showing his truly incapable colors.

  Look let me be clear! I typed a long diatribe earlier but it got censored. It was because I was using a name brand radio station by name. This station is controlled by the Fed’s Neo Fairness Doctrine. So I don’t blame the blaze.
  
  The Point is this, and it may not be anything, but do any of you Blaze heads not remember that the Obozo campaign had already been hedging to find a way to get out of leasing Panthers Stadium months ago. I sped read an article from a Charlotte Newspaper, I think, months ago or more that basically said the Obozo campaign had already decided not to do the speech at the 70K seat stadium. I think this was around the time that Obozo couldn’t fill up an eighth of the Ohio State Bball arena. Anyway if any of you Research folks remembers this article then please post link.

  This isn’t close. Democrats are jumping ship left and right. A local liberal radio host said that ALL of his liberal friends are ashamed that they voted for him and WILL NOT do it again. A lady called in and said that her dad and his friends had NEVER voted for a Republican and will this time. Close advisers to the president from 08 have jumped ship. They know him. They know it was a mistake to support him. IF HE WINS IT WILL ONLY BE BECAUSE OF MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD. Polls are under sampling Republicans by 10-12%. He is WAY behind. You can’t be as incompetent as he is and win a second term He’s not even smart enough to tell a plausible lie. He lies about things so ridicules that even the liberal media is shocked and can’t in good conscience let it go. We have reached a point where only absolute morons still support him.

  They moved it because they know they can NOT fill it. Even with all the kings horses, all the king’s men!! Not with bus-ins from all the surrounding states, not with free box lunches, $ whatever and they KNOW It. I think the numbers for the COMMIE in the WHITE HOUSE are worse than anyone is letting on. FOX wants to keep them “close” or their “season” is shot.
  We need to enlist the POWER OF PRAYER !! Praying for those people who have been duped by these
  UNION, COMMIE, MUSLIM, ANTI-AMERICAN take-over ghouls! Those people in the convention hall don’t know they are being used or fooled. Who wants to believe that? The PIGLOSI’S, BOXERS, REIDS, SCHUMMERS, all of those types (Dick Durbin et al) they all know what OBAMA is really doing and they don’t care. As long as they get theirs, what do they care???
  Nothing that was said yesterday OR today in Charlotte was meaningful to me. Usually there is something, but nothing… it’s all lies, it’s all convoluted, distorted sayings…. HERE IS THE BIGGEST LIE: That GOP did not want to COOperate. Yeah, right…that’s why PAUL RYAN wrote 3 budgets and got them voted on …whereas no DEM would even vote for Obama’s budget. When it came time to DISCUSS the Health Care aspects.NANCY PELOSI locked the conference room doors. Just because Mitch McConnell said His main purpose was to see Obama wasn’t elected 4 a second term…so what? That’s what opposing party people say.
  Obama hasn’t even met with

Either way the election goes, we win.

If Romney gets it then we all get jobs. And that’s most of what we need. Rich nations are rarely police states. Worry if it suits you. I’m not going to.

If The Zero wins then America ceases to exist in fairly short order. And we get to start over after “The War” that results from a Rudderless Planet. He hates America so much he can’t see the simple truth of what this world will be without it.

What follows the Dark Ages? You got it. The Fat Lady isn’t even warming up yet…

  Look at yourself and Dora for any explanations. She has had 2 abortions due to inconvenience, and you are a dolt. You align with socialism, statism, racism, dependancy on fed daddy, and on and on. Many peeps here are tired and weary-there are no longer any approachable democrats. It may soon be time to take off the gloves; maybe just do a la carte taxes and watch your special interests fade. How do you reconcile cair and lgblt under one tent? I for one am tired and sickened by your ilk-there is little common ground. Polarized doesn’t come close as a description. While your dependancy and lack of individual worth sadden me, your want for more of my worth does not confront me. There appears to be a tipping point in the near future- press on, let’s get it over with and get back to decency. How does that strike you pissant?

  @Windy,
  You do realize you just reinforced my question right? I was being (a little too) sarcastic towards 2minutes, and of course you come back with pissant, dolt, and later on POS. Oh and by the way, you have no clue what I aligin myself with, as I don’t know what you align yourself with. To call someone a Marxist, socialist, blah blah blah, really doesnt move the discussion forward. Everytime someone on here questions or comments someway they don’t like, the childish name calling, busts out. You’re not 12 are you? Though, that wouldn’t be surprising.
  Dora actually made a legit comment. The Congressional Repubs ran in 2010 on Jobs, Jobs, Jobs….i even voted in AZ for Republicans cause i wanted a change. All they have done is block bills, not created 1 job, tried to repeal something 33x, and tried to outlaw womens freedom to choose the best course for their health. Not to mention all the voter ID stuff going on. Sneeky, and underhanded IMO.
  You asked how I square myself with cair and lgbt under one tent? I don’t subscribe to that tent, but I’d imagine they square it by being TOLERANT of other views, not ignorant. How do you square yourself with…oh who am i kidding, you probably ate up the platform didn’t you. I don’t understand how a party, so hell bent on bringing God back to the country (by th way,where’d he go, i see churches on every other corner) can’t themselves live by the same love and acceptance that they preach. Sorry i may have rambled…

  The chair would have been a great improvement. Had King Hussein done nothing the last 4 years we would have already recovered from the recession and had plenty of jobs in America.
  But because he is so dedicated to the destruction of the American Dream he has made things worse now than when he took over.
  
  Taking from the rich so government can create more positions to fill is not going to improve our GDP. Allowing a free market to expand and utilize the resources at it’s disposal will always improve our GDP and improve our economy.
  
  He does have rhyme to his reason and it is DESTRUCTION.

  They answer to sponsors. They would probably be more honest and informative if they answered only to themselves. There would still be a left or right bias in how they report the news, but the decision of what news they report could be made on the basis of importance instead of the attention span of people who might switch over to Dancing With the Stars or Jersey Shore.

  I invite you and all other responsible American citizens to join me in boycotting said liberal media. I have been boycotting them for the majority of the 21st century. I saw what they were doing to Dubya during the ’04 elections, and I decided enough was enough. It was a very unpopular position to point the finger at the media during Dubya’s second term, but I held my ground and continue to do so. The deceivers in the media have only gotten bolder and more reckless since then, and I keep wondering just how much BS Americans are going to put up with before I am joined by enough viewers to make them take notice.
  
  They know their numbers are down, but they write it off with all kinds of excuses. They know that Fox News was kicking their butts in ratings for the past several years, but they still refuse to get the message. Instead of righting their listing ship, they only direct their guns across the Fox’s bow. Sadly, Fox News have been the ones doing all the compromising. The lefty outlets are steadfast in their mission to promote the leftist agenda.
  
  Occasionally, I see a glimmer of hope. Like CNN, who were once the worst of the lot, have recently shown at least a few “scattered showers of journalism.”*
  
  I don’t know what else to do about it, so the boycott continues, and so does my call to others to do the same.
  
  * “Scattered showers of journalism” is a brilliant quote from Pat & Stu a couple of years ago.

Obama is a racist who hates white people and America. Maybe thats why people arent showing up.

  Here comes a false flag attack leading to the cancellation of the election, by executive order. I think Barack has already become our dictator. We just don’t know it yet. He won’t make the announcement till the second amendment is abrogated or otherwise made impotent. I hope those fema camps are comfy.

Well, lets see….

Obama has been speaking at partial to nearly 1/2 empty events most of the summer.
There is only a 20% chance of any bad weather tomorrow
The stadium holds 77,000 and the bribing of the unions to bus in people is proving to be as effective as it was for that Ed Shultz mess in Washington DC.
It will be a MASSIVE embarrassment and take any remaining wind out of the Obama platform if he speaks on the national stage to accept his nomination in a stadium for 77,000 that will only be filled with maybe 20,000 so…………

You move to a smaller event and crowd everyone in, no Greek Columns, no huge elaborate stagecraft, just a very real coming of sober reality that the “Chosen one” is not what he pretended to be and he isn’t winning a 2nd term and the age of the DNC empire is coming to a close.

When Obama loses in November, those next two and a half months are going to be interesting. A narcissist finding out his friends don’t like him anymore will be a hard thing for him to take.

  His advisers and “friends” will all be running and whispering in Hillary’s ear, they will run as far and as fast from Obama as possible, once they move over to the HIllary camp, which they will, watch how the MSM suddenly starts uncovering all this “missing” dirt and information about Obama, MSNBC will look like its trying to complete with GBTV on revealing all of the dirty truthful facts on Obama.
  
  They put Hillary under the bus in 2008, they will put Obama under the bus in 2013 and will run the bus back and forth over him for months, I’d put money on it !

  Forget finding out who his friends are, if he looses, there will be riots as we have never seen before. i am not sure he will give up power so easily. I hope I am wrong. if he win we are doomed, if he looses, we are in for a wild ride for a few months i think.

  Not only that, but how many Executive Orders will he be producing in that time, just to mess things up even more for Romney/Ryan? Like they won’t be busy enough trying to fix what he’s already done.

Bullseye. Rush is EXACTLY right. Weather is an excuse. They moved it because
they’re realizing they cant fill the stadium and the OPTICS of that would be devastating
on worldwide TV.

Now translate that to Nov 6 and I like Dick Morris’ predictions of GOP landslide.

  No links needed, MSNnbc on my laptop ran the story yesterday that the social security office purchased 177,000 rounds of 9mm hollow points.
  
  It’s for the impending financial crisis for the government. When they can’t pay social security recipents there will be hell to pay.
  
  Never get between a Seniro Citizen and their promise by the government to be there for them.
  
  After decades of serving their country and supporting their liberal democrats the seniors will soon feel the true impact of kicking it “down the road” by the liberals who have stolen so much from the social security fund it is no longer sustainable.
  
  16 trillion in debt, sooner or later we have to pay our debt holders, the Japanese and the Chinese.

Weather is not the reason. People go in masses to football games regardless under heavy thunder storms. It’s just another lie in the never ending storytelling job that BHO has embark himself.
As always, Rush is right.

It doesn’t matter.

Cited, Factual

238 Over 18

50 Get Govt Assitance
23 Work for Govt
10 Non-Govt Union Employees
60 Get Medicare/SS
10 Remainder that paid no Fed Inc. Tax
Pool A 153 Get Govt Assitance, Union, Pay no tax

Pool B 85 Paid fed inc. tax and not on the dole

For every 1 person paying in, there are 1.5 taking out

http://www.census.gov/govs/apes/
Local/County Workers – 10,781,320 FT , 3,318,107 PT
State Workers – 3,779,258 FT , 1,534,267 PT
Federal Workers (3/10) – 2,583,768 FT , 424,170 PT

Total = 22,420,890
Population 311,600,000
That means that there is a government employee for every 12.89 non-government citizens in the US.

http://www.irs.gov/uac/SOI-Tax-Stats—Historical-Data-Tables
Given that there are now 46.7M on food stamp AND only about ½ of the country pays any form of federal tax (roughly 150M). In fact, only 85M Americans have a federal income tax liability according to IRS reporting.

1 in 6 gets money from the government.

There are roughly 60M getting Soc. Sec.

  Extrapolation, Assumptions
  122 Voted in 2008
  57 Rep.
  65 Dem.
  
  83% Voter Turnout for B
  33% Voter Turnout for A
  
  Just a hypothetical…fun with data you know.
  
  Anyways, look at the ratio of takers to producers. You think that is going to get better? Who procreates more takers or producers?
