Rush hits Obama with right hook

Rush Limbaugh got in a good right hook on Obama yesterday at lunch. Rush played a tape of Obama's speech at Notre Dame where he was really laying on the BS about how he was first converted to Christianity by a cardinal in Chicago. Obama was going on and on about kind and gentle and wonderful the cardinal was.

Then Rush says, in effect, "oh yeah? Well then how come you joined a church for 20 years that was headed up by one of the most hateful people around". Then Rush played some of the various so-called "out of context sound bytes" of Jeremiah Wright, with his "Gawd Dayum America", etc.

While I'm not really a Rush fan, I must say that Rush scored a couple points with that one. Obama really starts getting obnoxiously phony at times when he starts in on his spiel about how we can all be together and happy, etc.

You remember all that happy horseshoot about how these aren't red states and aren't blue states, but they're the United States? And of course, he didn't follow any of that BS while designing his campaign.
