Limbaugh: Obama’s First Instinct Was To Sympathize With The Rioters In Libya, Egypt

Following attacks on American embassies in Egypt and Libya on Tuesday which claimed the lives of four American service personnel, conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh accused President Barack Obama of indulging his first instinct, which was to “sympathize with the attackers.”

“You can’t separate Barack Obama from any of our embassies – he staffs them,” said Limbaugh, referring to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo which issued a statement condemning an American filmmaker who posted an anti-Islamic video to YouTube which sparked violent demonstrations across North Africa. The White House disavowed the embassy’s statement late Tuesday night and claimed that the statement had not been approved by Washington.

“Barack Obama’s in charge of the foreign service – him and Hillary Clinton,” said Limbaugh. “Their first instinct was to sympathize with the attackers with that statement. [Mitt] Romney was dead right pointing that out.”

Limbaugh said that President Obama’s motives are to show Americans “what it’s like to be Egypt and have the United States breathing down your neck.”

“Barack Obama doesn’t think this country should be number one,” Limbaugh continued. “If it were number 35, it’d be fine with him.”
