RUSH: Ron in Columbus, Ohio. Hey, great to have you on the program. Hello.

CALLER: Hi, Rush. You know, the first time around it was said that Barack Obama stole the nomination from Hillary.

RUSH: Right.

CALLER: I’m saying the next time around, it’s an Obama that’s gonna steal it again, but it’s gonna be Michelle.

RUSH: Oh, wouldn’t that be delicious?

CALLER: Supposedly the polls show Michelle higher in the polls than Hillary, and —

RUSH: Well —

CALLER: — then the Obamas will use the excuse that they need to be in office longer because they need to take care of the more of the things that they want to do.

RUSH: Well, I can hear that. I can hear, “You know, I can’t leave this country, potentially, in the hands of the Republicans — I just can’t — and so either I’m staying or Michelle’s running. You take your pick.”

CALLER: Right.

RUSH: And Michelle runs. Now, any first lady is gonna have higher approval numbers than any politician right now. I don’t know. Now, maybe the Obamas read a lot into that, but wouldn’t that be great if Michelle decides to run? Obama said he’s staying in Washington. He’s not leaving town. Wouldn’t that be great if Michelle decides to run against Hillary in 2016? Oh, we’d have Operation Chaos 2!

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I’ll tell you something else about Michelle Obama. She has not failed her husband as Hillary has admitted she failed hers. Hillary said that Bill did what he did ’cause she wasn’t doing a good job as a wife. Michelle has not done that, Michelle’s not failed her husband. So you never know, folks. I wouldn’t put anything past anybody in that party.
