RUSH TRANSCRIPT: OBAMA: "I mean, when you stand on a presidential debate stage, and you say to your political opponent, I’m going to throw you in jail, that’s what happens in banana republics. That’s what happens in a lot of countries around the world that are run by authoritarians. And so I take him at his word when he says that he admires somebody like a Vladimir Putin. And the fact that you got Republicans who in the past have criticized me for even talking to Russians and now feel comfortable with supporting somebody who considers the former head of the KGB as a role model indicates that either they know better and they don’t care or they don’t know better."
