Think Progress buries the lede in a post about how Rush Limbaugh echoed the absurd accusation of Rep. Pete Sessions that President Obama is intentionally increasing unemployement. In the same quotation from his show, Limbaugh states that Obama supports “forced reparations” — a phrase which suggests that the nation’s first black president supports reparations to the descendants of slaves (audio via Media Matters):

LIMBAUGH: As the economy performs worse than expected, the deficit for the 2010 budget year beginning in October will worsen by $87 billion to $1.3 trillion. The deterioration reflects lower tax revenues and higher costs for bank failures, unemployment benefits and food stamps. But in the Oval Office of the White House none of this is a problem. This is the objective. The objective is unemployment. The objective is more food stamp benefits. The objective is more unemployment benefits. The objective is an expanding welfare state. And the objective is to take the nation’s wealth and return to it to the nation’s quote, “rightful owners.” Think reparations. Think forced reparations here if you want to understand what actually is going on.

Contrary to Limbaugh’s suggestion, however, Obama has consistently opposed reparations for slavery.
