Limbaugh Attacks “Barack Ogabe” And His “Angry” Wife (AUDIO)

LIMBAUGH: The standard of living around the world has increased in places where there are basic free markets. Where there aren’t, of course, the standard of living has declined, such as Zimbabwe, the former Rhodesia, now run by Robert Ogabe — Mugabe. I was confusing him with a well-known Kenyan named Barack Ogabe. This is Robert Mugabe.

Please forgive me. I did not intend that slip-up to be made. Barack Ogabe and Robert Mugabe, at least in human structure, are two different people. I don’t know about policy, but, basically — regardless, regardless. See, I’m embarrassed I stepped in that — Barack Ogabe.

Transcript from Media Matters

Ignoring whether or not that was actually a slip up, you also have Limbaugh using the opportunity to shift President Obama’s origins from (USA) North America to (Kenya) Africa.
