Rush's First Nationally Televised Address to the Nation: Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) Keynote Speech

Now, let me speak about President Obama for just a second. President Obama is one of the most gifted politicians, one of the most gifted men that I have ever witnessed. He has extraordinary talents. He has communication skills that hardly anyone can surpass. No, seriously. No, no, I'm being very serious about this. It just breaks my heart that he does not use these extraordinary talents and gifts to motivate and inspire the American people to be the best they can be. He's doing just the opposite. And it's a shame. [Applause] President Obama has the ability -- he has the ability to inspire excellence in people's pursuits. He has the ability to do all this, yet he pursues a path, seeks a path that punishes achievement, that punishes earners and punishes -- and he speaks negatively of the country. Ronald Reagan used to speak of a shining city on a hill. Barack Obama portrays America as a soup kitchen in some dark night in a corner of America that's very obscure. He's constantly telling the American people that bad times are ahead, worst times are ahead. And it's troubling, because this is the United States of America. Anybody ever ask -- I'm in awe of our country and I ask this question a lot as I've gotten older. We're less than 300 years old. We are younger than nations that have been on this planet for thousands of years. We, nevertheless, in less than 300 years -- by the way, we're no different than any other human beings around the world. Our DNA is no different. We're not better just because we're born in America. There's nothing that sets us apart. How did this happen? How did the United States of America become the world's lone super power, the world's economic engine, the most prosperous opportunity for an advanced lifestyle that humanity has ever known? How did this happen? And why pray tell does the President of the United States want to destroy it? It saddens me.

CSTV- TONY DIGIROLAMO- WELL RUSH HAS A WAY WITH WORDS AND WHAT HE HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS GREAT COUNTRY INSPIRES ME.

Obama has the skills but trashes the country, and I'm telling you it comes from the mentors he is still bonded with at the hip.

The liberal media did not do their job in vetting and investigating all of his works his friends et al.

Now the liberals own it all ... the three houses of government Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman, and Rachel Maddow.

Rush is the bomb! He's all we need. On to the Tea Party!
