      What has Obama ever said of done that would lead him to make that claim?

        Nothing.

        Doesn't matter. Limbaugh sits in his little studio and creates his own reality. The sad thing is that there is a small percentage of people in this country who buy into his fantasies.

          Sadly, I'm guessing the percentage is higher than small.

        The genuine owner's of the world's weath are the people who EARNED it. Moochers don't earn anything.

          So you are saying people of color are MOOCHERS..?..some ..all..most?

          I guess it doesn't matter how the wealth was earned either..on the backs of Native Americans ,African slaves ..just capitalism at it best I suppose.When Europeans were colonizing India,China,Australia,the Americas,and vast parts of Africa what exactly was their method to earn this wealth in natural resources,land for agriculture, access to seafaring routes etc..... a major major foundation for todays wealth was built this way...
          Wall street just colonized mainstreet!

          Just wondering how you reached your conclusion!

      That has to be the most bigoted tirade to come of Fatboy's mouth to date! Is the King of Saudia Arabia White Rush? Do you think that anyone White in America has as much monetary wealth as he does? What about in China or Japan? You see things only in terms of haves and have-nots. The only thing you really fear is that someday a have-not will be able to have some kind of wealth. For someome with such a poor education you should thank God that you have been blessed to be such a skilled liar. Without your microphone and your national network you are just another loudmouth with a lousy opinion. The bars across the nation are full of Rush Limbaugh clones. Rush just needs a shirt with his name sewn on it!

      So, the Slob accuses Obama of race baiting while the Slob race baits.

      Man he is a disgusting neanderthal.

      If any of you watched the PBS special a few years ago, called Guns, Germs and Steel, you'd know that the advancement of some societies over others has little to do with the basic character or intelligence of the society, and much to do with their access to ample supplies of nutrious food and the overwhelming strength of societies that were able to access that food over those who could not.

      Anyone who thinks that all people have had equal opportunity, he's full of it.

      But we already knew that Rush was full of it, didn't we?

      And the only reason you feel comfortable saying that, Limbaugh, is because you are a racist. To you, skin color is all that really matters, because it's all YOU really see, and you are projecting your prejudice on your President. How terribly small minded and unpatriotic of you. And typical.

      Limbaugh: Obama "looks at people of color as the genuine owners of the world's wealth who have been shut out of it"

      I doubt that, it sounds kind of crazy to me... this isn't crazy though:

      The American people are the genuine owners of the Public Airwaves, but they have been shut out of it.

        It's just another example of Rush reducing everything to race... and then asserting how having HIS race in power is a status quo that must be preserved.
        In other words: it's just Rush being Rush.

        Limbaugh is asserting that people have had equal opportunity at success.

        That's not true.

        If it were true, it could be used as justification for bigotry against less successful people/societies/races.
