Obama needs to get off his butt and call Rush and tell him,, shut up brother. All through the election, almost any white person who said they would not vote for Obama got called a racist. BUt when this Rush idiot tosses race out for no reason what so ever, no one says a word to him. Every person in Washington needs to call Rush,, and tell him to take his racist ass right back to where it came from.
