Bureaucrat: Obama's Aunt Zeituni is an "Exemplary" Slum Residen

[Gate Troll]

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: "A Boston Housing Authority director says Barack Obama's aunt [Aunt Zeituni], a Kenyan woman who has lived in public housing for five years, is an 'exemplary resident' and only recently did anyone know of her connection to" Obama. Folks, this sickens me!  This poor old woman who is living in her "Slum, Sweet Slum" is called an "exemplary resident," and nobody knew until yesterday when the UK papers got on it that she was related to Obama.  God Almighty, help me!  I am so deeply sickened by this statement.  This woman lives in squalor!  She lives in a place no human being should be, not in this country.  She doesn't even have a decent cane to help her limp around her slum.  Her slum was created by liberal policies and politicians, her slum in Boston... I mean, she's Barney Frank's close neighbor.  Barney Frank, the subprime mortgage molester, the champion of all things liberal. This twisted bureaucrat in Boston calls her an "exemplary resident"?

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: "A Boston housing authority director," that means the slumlord, says that Obama's aunt, Aunt Zeituni, has lived in her "Slum, Sweet Slum" for five years!  He says she is an "'exemplary resident' and only recently did anybody know of her connection to the presidential contender."  This housing authority guy, this slumlord, is not flabbergasted about her living conditions; he's flabbergasted that she's lived there for five years and he didn't know who her relative was: Barack Hussein Obama.  This is how they look at everybody.  And, by the way, let's go back to Obama's book, shall we, ladies and gentlemen? A portion of his own book, reading from his own book: Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.  Listen, my friends.

OBAMA:  If Jane or Zeituni ever felt ill, if their companies ever closed or laid them off, there was no government safety net.  There was only family, next of kin, people burdened by similar hardship.  Now I was family, I reminded myself.  Now I had responsibilities.

RUSH:  Well, you haven't met 'em, old buddy, old pal. There's no safety net for Aunt Zeituni? I think there is a safety net. It's called a Boston slum! "Slum, Sweet Slum."  She's lived here for a whole bumbling of years; she's lived here for five years.  Your aunt, Obama, has been living in a slum for five years. Your brother is living in a hut in Kenya, and he says, "I am my brother's keeper. I am my sister's keeper."  This kind of stuff matters to me because there's so many people in this country who think Obama is going to take care of them.  I don't have... Well, I don't think I've got the audio.  Once again, I have this humongous audio sound bite roster.  It is great, and I want to try to get to it, but there are people who have been interviewed on the street who are saying, "Obama is going to pay for my gas! Obama is going to keep me in my house!"

There are people who believe this, that's Obama trying to dial back the expectations now. (interruption) No of course it's not true, Snerdley. What, you think he's going to keep you in your house and fill your gas tank?  There are people who actually think this. You can find them out on the street if you walk out there with a microphone and ask them.  Well, that's exactly right.  Snerdley has a rare but brilliant point.  "Why wouldn't they think that based on Obama's campaign?"  Why wouldn't they think that? That's exactly right.  They're not thinking it, but they're feeling it.  If they were thinking about it, they'd know it's not possible.  But here's the point, and I know -- I know -- that many of you, many of you in this audience are Obama voters and I know that many of you are -- probably, not all of you, Democrats and liberals but some of you are -- that are going to vote for Obama.  Don't I think that it's meaningful? Do you think it's relevant here?  Play sound bite number one again.  Here is Barack Obama reading his own book.

OBAMA:  If Jane or Zeituni ever felt ill, if their companies ever closed or laid them off, there was no government safety net.  There was only family, next of kin, people burdened by similar hardship.  Now I was family, I reminded myself.  Now I had responsibilities.

RUSH:  Well, you're not meeting them. His Aunt Zeituni is living in a slum!  Folks, Obama has lots of money.  Barack Obama has.  Ask yourself: If you had lots of money would you have a brother living in a tenement someplace, in a one-room hut that you would not help?  Unless, of course, you'd already given the brother countless dollars and made every effort to help the guy help himself and after that he didn't help himself. "Okay, pal. You want to live in squalor? It's up to you." But you have a real-world experience, you have a real-life experience with Barack Obama and two relatives (that we know of) living in absolute squalor, and he is the man of great compassion, the man of great caring and concern. He's going to unify everybody and he's going to eliminate poverty -- except in his own family!

Either that or he's going to have us do it, after he raises our taxes.

Rush Limbaugh is awesome. 

[GarrisonofGondor]

 Amen to that.

isn't it just like you to post something like this I am not at all a fan of Rush Limbaugh

[Gate Troll]

Why? He's the one guy in the media who doesn't sugarcoat things. Why do you dislike Rush?
The guy's awesome!

[sickofpalantirs]

because he oozes conservative bias out his ears perhaps?

[Gate Troll]

Everyone is biased. Some people's biases are more based on truth then other people's biases however.

[MR. Lurtzy]

Let's not get into political biases, because we all know that 95% of the media is pro liberal.

Everyone is biased. Some people's biases are more based on truth then other people's biases however.

You must be joking... Please, tell me this was intended as a joke. That there's still hope. PLEASE!

[sickofpalantirs]

actually, I would say that most people are biased in some way about something.
but saying your biases are more based on truth than someone elses generally means you haven't examined why they are biased the way they are.

and lurtzy: LOL

[FM]

Yes, I agree, true neutrality is only real for soap and chemical reactions. There's no such thing anywhere else. I meant the "more based on truth" part. Truth, unfortunately, is ALSO a matter of faith, and as I exhaustively put before, there's no discussing faith. Tkae the classical example: even if a guy SEES his girlfriend kissing another man, he can be so blindly in love that he'll carve out whatever "truth" suits him better as to explain the situation. And to him, that WILL be the truth, no matter what. You can argue faith (and truth) only within the bounds of a specific argument, so for instance, if we are talking about the Bible, we can argue about the interpretation of a certain passage, but never if the Bible is bogus or not, since it will never get anywhere. The first discussion, however, if held with reasonable people, might actually get somewhere, since you could point out to me a possible interpretation I had never thought of before, and so on.

Yes SOP that is exactly why I'm not a fan. The only guy who doesn't sugarcoat things? HAH!! did you see the O'Reilly blast Barney Frank. Look up on youtube and he gets the republican party in trouble more often than he does anything for it.

SoP. not sop. and yes I do, and no it isn't spreading the wealth, unless you took the gold from someone else. could mm be a modern day robin hood? and I'm all for spreading the wealth, as long as I end up with more

funny thing about bias, I used to always thing our local paper was very liberally biased, than along comes a letter to the editor, because the tribune has local news, we put up with its right-wing rhetoric...

and was like...wow...so it is all subjective.

[macheteman]

oops, sorry SoP i forgot to give you the gold earlier. but now i have. it comes from the "storehouses of heaven". lol.
