Earlier today, Mediaite reported on an off-kilter conversation between radio commentator Rush Limbaugh and a caller by the name of “Walter.” The caller was adamant in arguing against Limbaugh’s assertion that President Obama is doing a terrible job in the White House. Here are some highlights from the painfully-awkward conversation:
RUSH: “Tell me what you think…constitutes ‘a great job?”
WALTER: “That he’s not doing a bad job. I’ve never seen a president yet…yet…do a good job at being President of the United States…and he’s black.” [At this point, Limbaugh tries to ignore Walter's racial comment.]
RUSH: “So, he‘s fabulous because he’s not doing a bad job?”
WALTER: “Yes…and President Obama had something else on the other candidates that were running…when he won…the fact that he was black helped a lot.”
Mediaite’s Jon Bershad had this to say about the brief conversation:
This was not a call that anyone’s going to like. Obama fans will be forced to shake their heads and move on while Obama haters will be better off playing the audio here instead of telling ghost stories at camp fires.

They thought he was going to raid “whitey money” and give it to them. The lady that was recorded saying obamanation is going to pay for her car and house. The ones waiting in line to get “obama money” from his stash. And they are allowed to vote!!

Posted on May 25, 2011 at 5:43amWith sore necks we listened yesterday and the pendulum swung to the black liberation non-sense hard left. Rush was doing his typical iron jaw routine and the poor caller kept showing his ignorant cards. The individual act of not doing bad means that the colored president is doing good and should be respected, or something.
Report Post »The black population in America cannot truly figure out that Obama is a circus performance designed for them and against them at the same time.
Rush tried several times to offer the caller a soft landing space but the caller intensified his bareback riding into the twilight zone.
The black Obama clubs will fail as they are not proficient in fact finding or speaking the truth.
The called was indispensable as show material but clearly shows that black America is satisfied being told what to think and do tumbling around the Obama depression.

Posted on May 25, 2011 at 12:45pmNo, you can’t … and yes it is scary. To be frank what worries me are the people who are “seemingly educated” and who say things that are equally stupid without seeing the total and utter incoherence in the “talking points”. The supposedly smart people are so stupid it drives me crazy.
Like the MSM headline today about the GOP being rebuked for in western NY for “voting to end Medicare”. When someone presumably schooled in journalism can say something like this … it just boggles my mind. Is there no hope? I pray for us.

Posted on May 25, 2011 at 9:18amI couldn’t care about any one else? I got a job, I got a place to live. Boy that says it all!!! Walter is the epitome of what is wrong with the Democrat Party. This idiot’s thinking represents the majority of Democrat Senators and Representatives – - – The hell with what the people think or want, just re-elect me.
Although Walter brought up the race card, it’s not about race, it’s about the far leftist elitests (of every race) convincing the un-educated morons that they hold all the answers.
Maybe Walter needs to leave the comfort of his digs and HIS job and go to Trenton, Philadelphia, Detroit and a host of other cities where the liberal politics have created a slave class totally dependent on government handouts. He is far too ignorant to understand that even though he is working, HIS tax money is being used to perpetuate this tragic situation. A situation where there are and will never be any opportunity for jobs like his.
He will perpetuate the tragedy. Guess who he will vote for in 2012.

Posted on May 25, 2011 at 1:34pmThey call the United States a “melting pot”… and it has been for all who come here.. except for the blacks AND those who are now coming across our borders illegally. For some reason, the blacks (not all but most) have absolutely refused to take advantage of the many opportunites that are available here. Instead of taking advantage of the opportunities, they prefer to take advantage of those who work for a living… wanting a never ending “handout” while they eternally complain that the “WHITE MAN” is holding them back. I am really tired of being called a recist and the reason that some deatbeat is failing at life. You can bet your last dollar that more than 90% of the blacks will vote for Obama in the next election… SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS BLACK! This makes them nothing more than racist leeches. Intended or not, Obama has split this country and I doubt that there will ever be a healing.

Report Post »I would however bet that a great percentage of Black people voted for BO for the simple reason that he is black and they were supporting him because of his color and nothing else. Regardless of whether I am right or wrong enough PEOPLE didnt use anything other than an “artistic quality assessment” to vote this goof into office. He spoke well, he dressed well, he’s tall and a hansome guy…and that’s as far as a lot of people go when choosing who to vote for.

Posted on May 25, 2011 at 5:33pm@ Ethereal I have no idea what to say im just beside myself sure ok fine Blacks voted for him just because he was Black ok fine whatever. Im an American who is Black and I did not vote for him and will not either. I vote on the quality of person and their competency to do a good job for the country. I however hate the very evil rash generalizations that people do its ridonkoulous!! Can I generalize and say all white men between the ages of 18 and 56 are pedophiles? I would be rather lacking if I in fact believed that which I dont. If you can find one that didnt do something than that is not (all) I have said many times and shown many times that I did not!! And their are plenty of examples of Blacks that did not!! Now what short of me saying not all Blacks voted for Obama because he was Black do I have to do short of tattoing it on my head? Now if we the believe just keep believing the media hype on all levels Progressive, radicals, liberals, Republicans, etc etc than we are all just drinking the kool aid and might as well hop off the clip like a good little lemming ( not sure how its spelled my guess best) By the way a fact that keeps getting overlooked is he is not just all Black but half Black half White so in fact by action not deed not all Black. This racial stuff however is what is going to keep us all seperate and divided why the crazy takers keep taking over. Can you propose a solution other than race baiting and lets get this together for us andthesake ofour children

Report Post »Well your analogy to “all white men between the ages of….” has one difference. I didnt say ALL blacks I said a great percentage and you said “ALL white…” Lets look at a sentance and tell me if I am correct: “A great percentage of pedofiles are white men between the agaes of 18 and 35.” This happens to be true and is not a racist statement but the way you stated it is to imply I made it racist which it wasnt. This is the kind of phrase twisting that causes the problems. I read over and over again that Obama isnt liked because of the color of his skin, so this isnt race baiting? To keep falling back on this is getting tiresome and really doesnt work well anymore. You stated that you voted on the quality of the person…well how did you determine the quality? By how he spoke? How articulate he was? How he looked in a suit? It couldnt have been on his qualifications because he had no experience leading anything based on his time in the senate so I would like to know how you came to this decision. And BTW this isnt a generalization, we dont hear much of black activists or leaders in the black communities criticize other blacks when it is warrented but when a white does something perceieved to be “racist” without any proof they are all over it so dont blow smoke up my a@@!
