President Obama’s Cairo Speech: Outrageous, Absurd, Embarrassing
If only he could give a speech like this praising America, instead of going over to the Muslim world and crediting them with accomplishments they had no part in. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen)
“What President Obama did today is unconscionable, to draw a moral equivalence between the slaughter of six million Jews and a political circumstance in Palestine that’s largely brought on by Arab leaders. The six million Jews were the essence of innocent citizens.” – Rush

“Obama had the audacity to say, ‘I have unequivocally prohibited the use of torture by the United States.’ Ladies and gentlemen, torture in the United States has always been illegal.” -Rush

Michelle Obama Tells Us She Identifies with Sotomayor’s Rage
It was so hard to go to Princeton. Obama, his wife, and Sotomayor are angry and resentful
– and they’re intent on making this country pay by returning its wealth to its “rightful owners.”

President Obama’s Cairo Speech: Outrageous, Absurd, Embarrassing
June 4, 2009
If you want to hear this speech praised, go elsewhere.
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Now, we’re going to move on here to President Obama’s speech in Cairo — and I understand, ladies and gentlemen. I have studied the reaction to the speech as part of my intense show prep today. And I have detected maybe a consensus in all media quarters that this was a surprisingly good speech, that there’s really not a whole lot here to criticize — and you better not criticize it! If you criticize it, why… Somebody told me — I didn’t hear this, but somebody told me — that somebody said that this speech is as important, is as powerful, was as important as Reagan’s speech, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” (interruption) Who said that? (interruption) Who? Who? Where? Who said it’s the equivalent of the “I Have a Dream” speech? (interruption) Well, anyway, doesn’t matter who said it. That’s the general tenor, the general tenor is it’s a brilliant speech. It’s better than we coulda hoped for. Don’t criticize it. It’s only going to harm you, if you criticize it. So, with that in mind, let’s play the first sound bite I have chosen to share with you from Obama’s speech this morning at Cairo University. This is near the end.
OBAMA: As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam. It was Islam at places like Al-Azhar that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s renaissance and enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra, our magnetic compass and tools of navigation, our mastery of pens and printing, our understanding of how disease spreads and how it could be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires, timeless poetry and cherished music, elegant calligraphy, and places of peaceful contemplation — and throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.
RUSH: Okay. I know we’re not supposed to criticize Obama’s speech here. I know it’s going way off the reservation here to do this. But, folks, that is outrageous. This is simply outrageous. It was absurd, in fact. Let’s see. Where do we start here? “It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra.” No. The origins of algebra trace back to the ancient Babylonians. They were not Muslims. Algebra was temporarily developed by the ancient Greeks and later the English. “Our magnetic compass, tools of navigation,” Islam gave us these? No. “Recent research suggests that the compass may have been discovered by Central Americans, but if they didn’t do it, the Chinese are then its discoverers. In either case, be it the Chinese or the Central Americans, the compass was discovered centuries before the advent of Islam.”
