Rush Limbaugh: ‘Barack Obama is not black’

Fox News host Sean Hannity interviewed conservative right wing radio personality Rush Limbaugh for a piece that aired last night (LINK).

During the interview, Limbaugh said his distrust of POTUS Barack Obama is not due to Obama’s race. Limbaugh equated Obama’s supporters to victims waiting for Obama to make everything right.

I’ll tell you, you know, a lot of people right now just — they’re absorbed in the historical nature of this, first black president and so forth. Well, that is wonderful. That’s great. But I got over that months ago after he won the election.

I mean, Sean, he is our president now. And he’s not black, he’s not from Mars, he’s not — he’s our president, he’s a human being. We’re a country comprised of human beings that the Democrat Party and the left have attempted to arrange into groups of victims, and that’s who he appeals to, and the victims are the people waiting around for some grievance to be resolved.

Limbaugh also expressed his concern that America, under Obama’s leadership, will lose its greatness and become average.

Now I look at the things that he has said, and I’m very much concerned that our greatness is going to be redefined in such a way that it won’t be great, that we’re just going to become average. You cannot have this large of government role in the private sector with so many people thinking that just because they’re Americans they’re entitled to things, that this guy is going to pass them out and keep this country great and innovative, full of entrepreneurs, and — these things concern me.

Part two of Hannity’s interview with Limbaugh airs tonight on Fox News at 9 PM.
