Rush: Obama ‘would rather fund more abortions than pay the U.S. military their salaries’

After the 2010 midterm election, many in the pundit class were predicting a “triangulation” or shift to the center by President Barack Obama so they he could set himself up for a 2012 reelection bid. And though he’s been described as a “mean, vindictive, little guy” and “cold” in the past and now, that triangulation might be dead, which gives us some more insight into Obama’s character according to conservative talker Rush Limbaugh.

On his Thursday show, Limbaugh said Obama’s speech at George Washington University was a peek into who the president  really is.

“Yesterday in case you’re still curious as to who Barack Obama is, you got the real guy,” Limbaugh said. “That was Barack Obama yesterday. That was Barack Obama unplugged. That was Barack Obama unrestrained, unchained – whatever.”

Limbaugh went through a list of Obama’s priorities which he suggested were misplaced.

“Barack Obama would rather give hundreds of millions of dollars to community activists than to reform Medicare,” he said. “Barack Obama would rather give hundreds of millions of dollars to government unions and ACORN and the like rather than reform Medicaid.”

Listen:


Another one of those priorities Limbaugh listed as an example in his rant about the president was the administration’s dedication to green energy.

“So no, we’re going to give money to ACORN, we’re not going to fix Medicare,” he said. “We’re going to give money to government unions – our money laundering operation rather than fix Medicaid. Obama would rather give hundreds of millions of dollars to environmentalist whackos and invest in what he knows to be a totally fraudulent enterprise, that being green energy as a suitable capable replacement for current energy sources. Folks it’s insane. There is no replacement for oil right now. There is no replacement for coal. There’s no replacement for how we generate our energy, zilch. You can dream. You can hope. You can pretend we’re on the way to utopia. We’re not and it doesn’t exist.”

However, Limbaugh condemned the president for his other priorities, especially as he prioritized funding Planned Parenthood above military funding.

“It doesn’t stop him,” Limbaugh said. “He’ll give hundreds of millions of dollars to that effort rather than grow the private sector which is where the standard of living is increased, which is where economic opportunity and prosperity reside. No, we’re not going to strengthen that. Obama would rather increase the number of bureaucrats than promote private sector job growth. He would rather fund more abortions than pay the U.S. military their salaries. Why in the world — I will never understand this, where we afraid of that debate last week when it came to the potential shutdown over this continuing resolution, which now we’re told … the CBO, to the extent we trust them, has done a final analysis on how much money was actually cut – not $30 [billion], not $20 billion — $352 million. All of this was over $352 million.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
