Rush: Crackdown On Oil Speculators “Makes Me Wonder” If Obama Will “Go Hugo Chavez On Big Oil” And Nationalize Oil Companies

Written by Media Matters Staff

From the April 17 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

Previously:

Limbaugh: “I keep track of which dictator is nationalizing more industries - Barack Obama or Hugo Chavez”

Limbaugh on Chavez closing radio stations: “Obama's looking at that, saying 'damn, someday ...' ”

Limbaugh: Hugo Chavez “is a thug, but unlike Mr. Obama, he's a patriotic thug”

Limbaugh: “If I didn't know better, I would say that Hugo Chavez is actually running this country”

Limbaugh refers to Obama's “soul shake” -- that “black handshake ... that he had with Chavez”
