On 8/15/13 show, "The Obama Regime Bungled Egypt," Rush Limbaugh recalls CNN reporter in Egypt in 2011:
CNN reporter Feb. 11, 2011 at Egypt's Tahrir Square Arab Spring protest tries and fails to get locals to say they have Obama to thank for their revolution. Rush Limbaugh recalls on 1/25/13:
1/25/13, "Tahrir Square, Two Years Later," Rush Limbaugh transcript
Rush: "We want to go to one of my all-time favorite series of sound bites.
Folks, I just love these. Our old buddy Nic Robertson, CNN, February
11th, 2011, in Tahrir Square celebrating the outbreak of the Arab Spring
and trying to get people involved in the protest, to praise Barack
Obama for it.
ROBERTSON: Achmed, you've been here, down here on the Square for many
days. The United States and the international community. You've just
listened to President Obama saying that America will support Egypt if it
wants help and assistance, and hopes that there will be a good
transition for jobs for the young people. What would be your message for
President Obama?
ACHMED: We don't know, actually, who he supports. He serves for his
own purposes, and the Egyptian people serve for our freedom and
democracy. Any democratic country should see for the people, not for its
own purposes.
RUSH: Folks, I love this. There's Nic Robertson, these people are in
the midst of protesting what they think is for their freedom (imitating
Robertson), "What would you say to President Obama, who is likely
responsible for your being able to breathe today? Do you love President
Obama?" What the hell did he have to do with it? So Nic moved on now to
Mustapha since Achmed didn't come through for him. Up next, Nic
Robertson here with Mustapha at Tahrir Square.
ROBERTSON: Mustapha is joining me now. We just heard President Obama
say that he wants to extend, eh, support and assistance to Egypt and
Egyptians if they want any, and he hopes that there are more jobs for
the young people in the future. What's your message for President Obama?
MUSTAPHA: Well, my message to President Obama is just, "We started
this revolution without any outside help, and we are going to finish it
also without any outside help."
RUSH: Our message to President Obama is, "Where the hell's he been?
He doesn't have anything to do with this. What you are asking me about
President Obama for? I'm in the middle here of trying to fight for my
own freedom, get rid of a dictator, whatever, Arab Spring, democracy,
and you're asking me what is my message for Obama?" So our old buddy Nic
Robertson, CNN, he tried Achmed, then he went to Mustapha, and he said,
"I'm gonna give Mustapha one more chance here to praise Obama," which
was all CNN cared about.
ROBERTSON: Are you pleased that President Obama has come out,
however, now and said he supports this change and supports the people
and supports the young people and -- and what they've done?
MUSTAPHA: Well, actually President Obama's views were kind of
conflicting during the last week, but now he's saying that he's
supporting the change.
RUSH: (imitating exchange) "Well, at least Mustapha, are you pleased
that President Obama has come out and said he supports the change,
supports you, the young people and jobs and what you've done?" "Well,
actually Nic, old buddy, Obama's view were kind of conflicting during
the last week. We don't really know where he was." So our old buddy Nic
here spoke to Achmed and Mustapha, wanted them to praise Obama in the
middle of the Arab Spring, make it about Obama, and these guys wouldn't
play ball. You heard it. You heard 'em basically say, "Obama's not here.
He hasn't done anything. We don't know what he believes." It's time for
Nic Robertson to wrap it up and tell the CNN viewers what they just
heard.
ROBERTSON: The view from here is one of very happy to now hear that President Obama has swung behind the people.
RUSH: Really? That's what we just heard from Mustapha and Achmed, that
the view from Tahrir Square is one of very happy people to hear that
Obama has swung behind the people? No, Nic, we didn't hear that. That's
what you wanted 'em to say. That's the danger of live TV."...
