Rush Was Right! Obama Using Haiti Tragedy For Political Benefit. Is Media Twisting Rush's Statement To Divert From Harry Reid's Racism?

What does the Obama Administration and liberal Democrats do when they want to divert attention from themselves?

Attack Rush Limbaugh.



Lapdog Media outlets have been parroting the claim that Rush Limbaugh told his radio audience not to donate to relief efforts for Haiti after the earthquake which has devastated the island nation. Of course, these so-called "objective" media outlets have used "sources" like Media Matters, Center for American Progress and Huffington's Toast, who took Rush's comments completely out of context.

Of course, Rush saying we had donated to Haiti via tax dollars was correct, as NRO points out. But Rush never discouraged anyone to contribute to relief for Haiti. The objection was using the White House website as a source for donation funds. That's a reasonable concern. How many people have found cookies from whitehouse.gov or Obama's campaign website on our computer when doing spyware checks? How do we not know that Obama won't use names, addresses, etc. for his own fundraiser lists?

Rush also said the following:

Yes, I think in the Haiti earthquake, ladies and gentlemen -- in the words of Rahm Emanuel -- we have another crisis simply too good to waste. This will play right into Obama's hands. He's humanitarian, compassionate. They'll use this to burnish their, shall we say, "credibility" with the black community -- in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It's made-to-order for them. That's why he couldn't wait to get out there, could not wait to get out there.

Well well! While liberals criticize him, Rush has proven once again he is 100 percent right on the money.

Kristinn at FreeRepublic just found the following item:

The Obama administration is burnishing Barack Obama's image as intently focused on the plight of Haitians by pushing on the press a detailed-to-the-minute timeline of Obama's involvement with the response to the Haiti earthquake this week.

This shameless promotion of Obama confirms what Rush Limbaugh said earlier this week--that Obama would use the earthquake for his political benefit.

The release of the Haiti timeline is in stark contrast to the failure of the White House to similarly account for Obama's time in the aftermath of the Christmas Day terror attack on America while Obama was on vacation in Hawaii. Then, the administration told the press Obama was getting briefings in between golfing, snorkeling, picnicking and otherwise not doing his job.

The timeline lists twenty-two entries for Obama taking meetings, briefings and phone calls in the sixty-nine hour period from 5:52 p.m. Tuesday (an hour after the quake struck) through 3 p.m. Friday. Other entries note meetings convened by others at Obama's direction.

Obama seems to have slacked off some on Friday after spending the previous two days on the phone and in meetings.

The danger for Obama is that the amount of time spent on the earthquake by him has not translated into relief for the survivors in Haiti. Last night and this morning, news reports out of Haiti all told the same story: aid is bottled-up at the international airport in Haiti because no one has taken charge.

Here's a sample from the release demonstrating Obama is the hardest working man in show business, I mean the White House (via the Chicago Sun-Times):

Thursday, January 14

(The President receives verbal briefings on the situation from Denis McDonough throughout the day)

9:30 AM-- The President met in the Oval Office with several of his lead military and civilian national security team to receive an update on the situation in Haiti and on progress against al Qaeda and its affiliates.

4:17 PM - The President speaks with President Sarkozy of France about ongoing US and French relief efforts, and the need for coordination of immediate and long term international efforts to assist the people of Haiti.

4:30 PM - Deputy National Security Advisor Tom Donilon convened a Deputies Committee for approximately 2.5 hours to discuss coordination of the United States Government's relief efforts in Haiti. The meeting included senior representatives from: State, USAID, USUN, DOD, SOUTHCOM, TRANSCOM, JCS, DHS, Coast Guard, and National Security and White House Staff.

8:54 PM -- The President speaks with President Fernandez of the Dominican Republic. The President expressed his appreciation for the role the Dominican Republic has played in facilitating the evacuation of US citizens and in the flow of relief teams and supplies into Haiti through the Dominican Republic. President Fernandez conveyed his assessment of the situation in Haiti following his visit today to Port au Prince.

10:15 PM -The President receives an update from Deputy National Security Advisor Tom Donilon on relief efforts, the situation on the ground in Haiti, and tonight's Deputies Committee meeting.

Once again, Rush is right on the money. But that won't keep liberals like Zennie Abraham from attacking FreeRepublic and others who point out the truth about what Rush really said. Of course Zennie is a typical race-baiter who defended Mao Ze Dung-ite and 9/11 Troofer Van Jones as "a good man who should fight back." (Abraham has also said Islam had nothing to do with the Ft. Hood jihad, in addition to calling President Bush a "white president" while criticizing Michelle Malkin with the same photo of her used by Charles "Icraus" Johnson, racially stereotyping Malkin.

So the liberal "outrage" over Rush's statements were not surprisingly manufactured, and repeated without question by the Obama worshippers in the lapdog media.

Can we perhaps propose the hypothesis that this liberal attack on Limbaugh is nothing but a ploy to divert attention from Harry Reid's racism, as well as the Democrat Party's long history of racism?
