Time Text
Yeah, yeah, you know, I've had this global warming stack sitting here piling up for like 10 days.
I haven't even gotten to it.
All this stuff going on here.
There is other news out there.
We will get to it in summary form.
Greetings, my friends, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
That's right, my friends.
One big broadcast hour to go, hosted by me, your highly trained broadcast specialist.
Don't try this at home.
Rush Limbaugh at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address El Rushbo at EIBnet.com.
Went back here.
We found a story from Cybercast News Service.
February 29th of 2000.
Democrats pushed for a resolution Tuesday to condemn Bob Jones University, the Christian scruple in South Carolina that has been at the core of an uproar involving Republican candidate George W. Bush.
The resolution introduced in both the House and the Senate, likely to cause a partisan fight with Republicans, most of whom are backing Bush.
Democrats insisted lawmakers have a duty to denounce Bob Jones University.
Some complain that Bush's apoverty didn't go far enough because he didn't address the scruple's position on minorities.
I think it's important for the Congress of the United States to have the last word said the torch.
Bob Torricelli, Democrat New Jersey, added dingy Harry Reid, George W. Bush's stop at Bob Jones University has turned over a rock under which has lived all sorts of bigoted practices.
The Democrats in 2000, I've forgotten this, in the House and Senate, offered a resolution to condemn Bob Jones University.
This is why we're spending so much time on Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama.
We have another presidential campaign going on here.
And we're being told, yeah, that's no big deal.
Why do we have to cover this?
It's just guilt by association.
You can't hold him accountable for this.
What are you trying to do?
Just work everybody up into a tizzy?
This just isn't right, Rush.
You just shouldn't be doing this.
Well, this is what I've been trying to say for the past couple of weeks here, maybe even longer.
And that is, these people on the left do politics in a very aggressive way, and they try to stay on offense as much as possible.
I'm sick and tired of being on defense.
I want to go on offense as well and play the game by the rules and the customs and the traditions that they establish.
So if they can come after religious institutions on the right, which haven't done anything, by the way, we can certainly ask these questions of Barack Obama.
Senator Obama, tell us one of the favorite things that you've heard Jeremiah Wright say.
Of the soundbites that we have played the past two days, tell us, Senator Obama, what are your favorite comments that he has made?
What do you love the most that has been said by your pastor, your mentor, your spiritual advisor?
Is it where he says the country is run by rich white people?
Is it where he says the United States invented AIDS?
What is your favorite thing, Senator Obama, uttered by your pastor?
Last week, ladies and gentlemen, the Democrat Congress decided that you are not paying your fair share of taxes.
You know, Bush submitted his budget, $3 trillion.
And of course, the Democrats, they get their own version, and all these things, it'll happen in Congress.
So the Democrats have put together their own budget, and they have decided that you are not paying your fair share of taxes.
So they voted to allow most of President Bush's tax cuts to expire.
Over the last, there are the next few years.
You are going to be required to turn over to Democrats an additional $683 billion of your income.
By the way, the president made a speech today at the Economic Club of New York.
That's a couple soundbites I want to play.
Get those ready.
What is Sandbush 25 and 26?
And the president started talking about the stimulus checks.
And he said he has been assured by the Treasury Secretary those checks will be in the mail the second week of May.
Well, guess what?
You're going to get that check.
Snerdley and I aren't.
Rachel Lidden, Brian, of course, makes way too money to get a check.
We're not going to get a stimulus check.
But you people who get stimulus checks, you're just going to be sending them right back with the Democrats' tax increase.
I mean, you won't send it back the next day, but while they're giving you this little pittance, they're going to raise your taxes.
And you're going to be sending it.
By the way, Snerdley, I need to find out something.
These stimulus checks, you're going to have to report them as income, right?
Yeah, you're going to pay taxes on your stimulus check.
So get ready for that.
In addition to all that, over the next few years, in addition to the $683 billion, and it's only going to be higher than that, that the Democrats are talking about raising taxes, if they win in November, that number, $683 billion, will balloon.
If they get their hands on the federal government with this big enough majority, we get socialized medicine, a bunch of new entitlements if they're introduced.
Existing entitlements will be vastly expanded.
Contrary to what the Democrats say, that they want to socket to the rich, that tax increases are going to affect those with incomes as low as $30,000 a year.
That's what's been going on in Congress this week.
Well, we've been focusing on a presidential race and the Democrat Party chaos.
And by the way, that's not all.
On top of voting for record-breaking tax increases, the Democrats voted against limiting their earmarks.
Now, McCain went in there.
Now, all three presidential candidates voted to end them.
But McCain was leading the effort in the House.
He didn't even get a majority of Republicans to go along with him.
What was the vote in there, 72 to 29, something like that?
I mean, it was a lobster.
This earmark business, McCain was leading the cause and leading the charge in the Senate, and he was on the losing side of 72-29.
So their own pork barrel spending will continue unabated.
A lot of Republicans voted for this too.
Learn it, love it, live it.
So while raising your taxes and giving themselves free reign to spend more of your money, earmarks, and pork, House Democrats continue their quest to make it easier for terrorists to avoid detection.
Now, the Democrats just passed a version of the FISA bill in the House, but it does not contain immunity for the telecoms who have furnished call lists and so forth to the government so they can track terrorists.
You know, a lot of Democrats think that Bush's spy program is what nailed Spitzer.
They do.
They really do.
So you may be thinking, Rush, I don't understand.
Terrorists do attack us.
Why would Democrats not want to capture the terrorists?
Why would they not want to listen in to terrorists to find out why and how they're going to attack us and when?
Why do they want to not give immunity to, my friends, I'm glad you asked.
More important to the Democrats is servicing a huge constituency, and that would be the plaintiff's bar.
For those of you in Rio Linda, the trial lawyers.
By removing immunity from the telecommunications companies, they are open for lawsuits, galore, class action, you name it.
The trial lawyers are, I mean, salibating.
They are just licking their chops over this, if this stands.
This has been the breaking point of the bill.
This has been one of the crucial elements of the bill that has kept it from being passed and sent to the president.
They want immunity for the telecoms, past and future, in order for the SPY program or the FISA program to work.
The Democrats said, nope, no immunity.
We want to be able to sue them.
So our trial lawyers will get rich and can send us campaign contributions.
Then there's this.
New study from the Center for Responsive Politics found that the median net worth of U.S. senators is around $2 million.
House members, medium now, net worth is over $600,000.
The Reuters headline is this, get elected to Congress and get rich.
And it is the case.
It really, it is the case.
Some of these people show up.
What are their salaries?
$140, something like that?
And they all end up getting wealthy.
Some of the senators arrive wealthy.
I mean, they're our House of Lords.
So let me sum up what your Democrat Congress has been up to this week while we have been chronicling the chaos in the Democrat presidential candidacies.
We have been screwed.
Me too.
I live here.
We have all been screwed.
Democrats have once again flipped us the bird.
And it's not the flying finger of friendship that they're flipping us out there, folks.
How did this just happen?
I just got an email from Friends of McCain.
By the way, excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I erred mere moments ago.
Your tax, your rebate, your stimulus check is not taxable.
In other words, you will not report it as income when you file your 2008 tax returns.
So you get it all.
You get the gross and you get to keep it.
But you're going to be giving it all back and more once the Democrats get their tax increases passed, if they do.
I know what's happening with the price of food.
I know what's happening.
President was asked about that today.
President was asked about prices at his 25 and 26.
I don't have that transcript in front of me, but I think I know what those two bites are.
Price of gasoline, price of food.
Prices, prices, prices.
Damn well I know what the price is.
You think I don't eat?
Of course I know what the price of food is.
Do you know what the price of jet fuel is?
Okay.
It's not don't give me $4.85 a gallon stuff.
If you can find a contract buy, you can maybe do better than me started.
Nobody listened to my complaining anyway.
Look, we have these two soundbites of the president and from the Economic Club of New York today when he gave his speech.
Here's the first of two.
One bill in Congress would provide $4 billion for state and local governments to buy up abandoned and foreclosed homes.
You know, I guess this sounds like a good idea to some, but if your goal is to help Americans keep their homes, it doesn't make any sense to spend billions of dollars buying up homes that are already empty.
As a matter of fact, when you buy up empty homes, you're only helping the lenders or the speculators.
The purpose of government ought to be to help the individuals, not those who, you know, like who speculated in homes.
This bill sends the wrong signal to the market.
That is exactly right.
Do you know how many of these foreclosures happened?
These guys that never lived in these houses they were buying, buying them to flip them, and they got caught and they got caught and it went south.
Oh, we need a bailout.
We need that.
Bear Stearns need a bit.
Bear Stearns go under.
Well, no, I guess you can't do that.
But for crying out loud, do you hear what the president said?
The American people make the economy work.
Don't put more obstacles in their way.
Don't put more shackles on them.
The American people start thinking that the economy is nothing but the Dow Jones industrial average.
And you've got to stop the bleeding there.
Yeah, it affects more and more Americans than it ever has, but still there's a lot more to the economy than that.
Here's the second excerpt from the president's speech today.
A lot of folks are worried about their neighbors losing work.
Sometimes if you're going to lead this country, you have to stand in the face of what appears to be a political headwind.
I'm troubled by isolationism and protectionism.
What concerns me is that the United States of America will become fatigued when it comes to fighting off tyrants or say it's too hard to spread liberty or use the excuse that just because freedom hadn't flourished in parts of the world, therefore it's not worth trying.
And that as a result, we kind of retrench and lose confidence in the values that have made us a great nation in the first place.
But these aren't American values.
They're universal values.
And the danger of getting tired during this world is any retreat by America.
It was going to be to the benefit of those who want to do us harm.
Now, I understand that since September the 11th, that the great tendency is to say we're no longer in danger.
Well, that's false.
That's false hope.
It's either disingenuous or naive, and either one of those attitudes is unrealistic.
And the biggest job we've got is to protect the American people from harm.
I don't want to get another issue, but that's why we better figure out what the enemy's saying on their telephones if he wants to protect you.
Now, the question actually had to do with immigration, and he was, you know, whoever asked the question said, Mr. President, it's been said that a nation that is afraid of immigration has lost its confidence.
What do you think about it?
And that's where he delved off into the answer that you gave.
Global Warming Stack, John Coleman backed.
This is the founder of the Weather Channel, 1982.
He says, you know what?
This whole thing, this whole global warming thing is a hoax, and it's a financial fraud.
The selling of carbon credits is a fraud.
He wants to sue Al Gore because the Al Gores of the world will not have a debate about this.
The Al Gores of the world are out there and his supporters are accusing skeptics of being deniers.
So John Coleman's, let's have a lawsuit about this.
If we can't get a debate, let's get a debate in a court of law and let's make these people show up and prove all this.
He says, look, out of every 100,000 molecules of the atmosphere, 38 are carbon dioxide.
38 out of 100,000.
And it was 33 about five years ago.
Temperature did go up in the last hundred years, one degree, but we lost that degree last year.
It was so cold that we lost the one in one year.
We lost it.
What if we're heading into a cooling phase or period?
So he wants to sue Gore and all these other people in a quarter.
And he also lashed out the weather channel.
He said, I don't think people want to watch the weather channel, find out how to live.
The weather is the single most important thing to people's day, day-to-day planning and so forth.
Safety, security involves economics.
If you're going to have a weather channel, you turn on the weather channel and get the weather.
You don't get some babe telling you about your light bulbs or showing you pictures of polar bears or what have us the weather.
I love this guy, John Coleman.
He was the staff weatherman for Good Morning America back when it was worth watching, back in the 80s.
And here you go.
From NOAA, the National Oceanographic Atmosphere Association.
Average temperature across both the contiguous U.S., that's America for those of you in Rio Linda, and the globe during climatological winter, December 07 to February 2008, was the coolest since 2001.
According to scientists at NOAA in Asheville, North Carolina, in terms of winter precipitation, Pacific storms bringing heavy precipitation to large parts of the West produced high snowpack that'll provide welcome runoff this spring.
Coolest winter since 2001.
Coolest winter since 2000.
Now, all of you who went out there and watched that stupid movie, what was the name of the Inconvenient Truth?
And for who watched it and you just sucked it up, how in the world can we have just had the coolest winter since 2001 in the midst of global warming?
Well, Rush, that's the point.
See, they stopped calling it global warming because it's really not.
So now they're calling climate change.
So when anything is abnormal, they can blame it on us and get us to pay more taxes than acceptable.
I understand that, but we're not buying it.
This is a whole point.
What else?
Oh, I don't have time to get the plastic bag thing.
That's a total farce.
That's a total fraud.
That's a total hoax, too.
Anyway, we're going to do something next, so hang in there.
As usual, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Joe Scarborough today hosted Charlie Black on his Morning Joe show on DNC-TV.
And Scarborough said to Charlie Black, is Senator McCain troubled by the fact that the man we just heard, Jeremiah Wright, my gosh, there's so many more sermons just like that.
I mean, it's inflammatory.
Is John McCain concerned that that man is Barack Obama's spiritual advisor?
Charlie Black said, well, you know, what Senator McCain said repeatedly is that these candidates can't be held accountable for all the views of people who endorse them or people who befriend them.
And fortunately, I heard your report earlier that Senator Obama's repudiated these very unusual views.
Boy, this is getting easy.
He doesn't have to repudiate anything, and they say he repudiates it.
At any rate, I did not lose my place.
I heard your report earlier.
Senator Obama has repudiated these very unusual views, but John McCain believes that Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton should not be held accountable for their or should be held accountable for their public policy views, the things we've described before.
So Scarborough says, so this, this pastor, he's not an issue for McCain.
I don't think Senator McCain wants to get in the middle of a discussion about Senator Obama's former pastor.
Charlie, not former, and he's on Barack's spiritual advisor, reach out, whatever the hell committee.
He's a mentor.
Come on, you guys, this is serious stuff.
It's serious stuff in the era of foreign policy, which is your strong suit.
Anyway, Charlie Black said he believes that people who endorse you, people who befriend you, are entitled to their own views, but you are not held personally accountable.
That when somebody endorses you or befriends you, they're embracing your views, the candidates' views, not the other way around.
Well, I mean, if that's true, then how come they don't have this guy all over the place making speeches?
Because if he's endorsing Obama with what he's saying, well, how did it come to campaign?
Obama campaign's not putting him out there.
All right, here's his plastic bag bag.
How many of you people bought into this notion way back when you go to a grocery store, get paper bags, they say, you can't use paper bags anymore.
Landfill problems, pollution problem.
You got to use plastic bags.
And then, however many years that's been going on, they say, hey, plastic bags, camera, you can't use plastic bags.
You got to bring your own bags from home, San Francisco and so forth spreading around the country.
No, you got to bring your own bags.
Plastic bags, the birds eat them and they die.
You get messed up in landfills.
They're made with petroleum residue.
You can't use plastic bags.
From the Times Online, this is all the way back to March 8th.
Scientists and environmentalists have attacked a global campaign to ban plastic bags, which they say is based on flawed science and exaggerated claims.
The widely stated accusation that the bags kill 100,000 animals and a million seabirds every year are false.
Who would have thought?
A million seabirds killed by plastic bags.
See, they just throw these numbers out there.
Wow, mom, and the polar bears are dying too.
They pose only a minimal threat to most marine species, including seals, whales, dolphins, and seabirds.
Scientists, politicians, marine experts attack the government for joining a bandwagon based on poor science.
Lord Tavern, chairman of Sense About Science, said the government's irresponsible to jump on a bandwagon, has no base in scientific evidence.
This is one of many examples where you get bad science leading to bad decisions, which are counterproductive.
Attacking plastic bags makes people feel good, but it doesn't achieve anything.
Stop and think of that.
Attacking plastic bags makes people feel good.
Amen.
How sad-sacked must you be to feel good attacking a plastic bag?
How empty must your life be that joining a crusade to attack plastic bags makes you feel good?
Back to the audio soundbites.
Mika Zezhinsky on Scarborough's show, frayed here that the Democrats are going to implode because of Operation Chaos and this Jeremiah Wright business.
Scarborough said, you know, one of the most influential people in Obama's adult life, you got to explain it.
You got to do more than say, oh, I talked about that a year ago because people are going to be concerned about this moment.
Well, I really, I'm concerned on a number of levels about it, actually.
Well, you've explained this.
As a journalist, you've explained that, but okay, let's just assume that the Clinton campaign put this out.
He still has to answer, doesn't he?
Well, Hillary Clinton certainly had to answer to the Geraldine Ferrero thing.
Here I think that the Democrats, you know, through the media, may implode through identity politics.
Absolutely.
She's exactly right.
Give her a gold star.
Give her a gold star.
She swerved into the truth.
Identity politics.
Since there's no distinction on issues, what are the Democrats running on?
Well, you can't elect her.
She's got a vagina.
You can't elect him.
He's got black skin.
That's what it's come to.
The Civil War.
Race war in this country is in the Democrat Party.
All right, Operation Chaos continues.
Another conference call with reporters.
Clinton campaign chief pollster Mark Penn and Howard Wolfson spoke with reporters.
Mark Penn weighed in with this on the race in Pennsylvania.
The road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue goes right through the state of Pennsylvania.
And if Barack Obama can't win there, how could he win the general election?
I mean, he doesn't seem to be passing the commander-in-chief test.
He's not passing the economy test.
And it looks like he's saying that he won't pass the Keystone test.
We believe this is an incredibly important state, and we believe fundamentally that it provides a very significant test of who could really win the general election.
We believe that this will again show that Hillary is ready to win, that Senator Obama really can't win the general election.
Looks like he's not going to win the Pennsylvania.
I mean, he's trailing there.
We're going to get into gear soon on this, but despite that, he looks like he's going to lose Pennsylvania.
So here's Mark Penn saying, well, you know, if he can't win there, how can he win the general election?
So now, if you can't win Pennsylvania, you can't win America.
That's what Mark Penn said.
Now, we move on to the next soundbite.
This is Howard Wolfson.
Unidentified reporter says, well, Mark Penn in his opening statement said Obama can't win the general election.
And this is only in the context of a potential loss in Pennsylvania.
Do you have other reasons in mind as to how Obama would be weakened against McCain?
Let me just say, this is Howard Wilson, and Mark will obviously speak for himself.
Mark did not say that at the top of the call.
So, Mark, why don't you reiterate what you did say?
I think it raises, I think that if he can't win Pennsylvania, it raises serious questions about whether he can win a general election.
So Howard Wolfs denies that Penn said what he said, asks Penn to clarify, and Penn says it again.
By the way, Boston Globe.
Boston Globe, Time magazine, they've looked into a bunch of claims that Hillary made.
You know, one of Hillary's big claims is that she was the forerunner of the S-CHIP health program for kids.
Her husband opposed it.
Her husband opposed it because it was a budget buster.
Bill Clinton was never in favor of it.
She had little to do with crafting the landmark legislation or ushering it through Congress.
The Republicans ended up doing it.
The Clinton White House, while supportive of the idea, fought the first S-CHIP effort, which was spearheaded by Kennedy and Orrin Hatch.
And they split it off because of fears it would derail a bigger budget bill.
Several current and former lawmakers and staff said Hillary had no role in helping write the congressional.
She had nothing to do with it.
And in fact, couldn't even convince her husband to go for it.
Boston Globe and Time magazine reporting this.
Moving on to the audio soundbites.
Morning, Joe, again.
Fast Eddie Rendell, governor of Pennsylvania, Chris Matthews, said, you know, you were incredibly successful.
Great mayor for our city.
Matthews is Philadelphia.
Going up to the far northern part of the state across the state where people are largely Protestant white people, what's likely to go up there?
What's it like to go up there as a Philly guy?
I think Senator Obama, if he's the candidate, will run okay in some of those counties.
There's no question.
Hillary Clinton is a better fit for those counties, is a better fit for Southwest Pennsylvania.
But I think either one of them is going to carry the state in the fall.
Yeah, so there's Fast Daddy trying to extricate himself from a little foxhole he dug because it was just last week where he said, or maybe a little longer and we'll go with Nab.
He said a black guy will not win in Pennsylvania.
Back after this, folks.
Get this one, folks.
Danbury, Connecticut, Danbury, Connecticut officials have been notified they're being sued by a student who was awakened in class by a teacher who made a loud noise.
Documents filed with the town clerk, a prelude to a lawsuit, claim that a sleeping student suffered hearing damage when his teacher woke him up by slamming her hand down on the boy's desk in December.
Attorney Alan Berry says that the 15-year-old Vinicios Roebucker suffered pain and very severe injuries to his left eardrum when a teacher, Melissa Nado, abruptly slammed the palm of her hand on his desk on December 4th.
A city official says the matter has been referred to Danbury's insurance carrier.
So the kids sleeping in class go, wake up.
He sues.
You think it was his idea to sue?
His parents.
Marilyn in Middlesex, New Jersey.
I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi there.
And Megadittos from Middlesex, New Jersey.
I'm very nervous.
Thank you.
And I'm also kind of relieved that you brought the conversation back around to Pastor Wright, because this question is actually for a caller you had late in the first hour.
Yes.
He had brought up, he was challenging you, saying that the pastor, I believe it was the pastor and not Senator Obama, was coming at this from a black man's perspective.
A black church context, yes.
Yes.
And saying that you didn't have any experience as a poor black man, which I believe Senator Obama doesn't either.
But my question is one simply of numbers.
If you take everything else out of it, why would America vote for someone for president with an alien perspective?
I'm not sure.
Are you making a point about there really isn't that much racism here and that the preachers?
No, that's exactly the opposite of what I'm saying.
I'm saying if the caller to you said, well, he's approaching it from a black perspective.
Why would America vote for somebody with somebody if he claims that's a black perspective, which I don't believe, that doesn't share the beliefs that he does?
Just simply.
I mean, take all the hate and everything else out of it.
If we don't understand him, why would we vote for him since he obviously doesn't understand us?
I see what you're saying.
Maybe it's been a long week.
Are you talking about Obama or the preacher?
Well, we're going to go with the preacher since I assume that's what the gentleman who called you was talking about, but the preacher is Obama's spiritual advisor.
Right.
And we're saying that Senator Obama has taken those lessons to heart.
We seem we want to know.
That's the question that we're asking.
We want to know if he's, and he's not being forthcoming about this.
And it's really, really important because this guy is a separatist and does not like this country and thinks we are to blame and thinks we deserve being gotten even with.
Now, if we're going to elect a president on the basis that that's what this country needs, we need to know this.
That's absolutely true, and that's my question.
I also have another thing to ask you.
I wanted to know whether or not you saw an article on Drudge that was written by David Mamet.
Oh, yeah, I saw that.
It's been one of those things that have been building up here in the stack.
David Mammet is a playwright.
Yep.
And I thought it was really cool because he was, I considered, a died-in-the-wool liberal, and the name of the article is Why I'm No Longer a Braindead Liberal.
Yeah, it's a great piece.
It really is.
And the only thing I wanted to say, I'm certainly not going to paraphrase it, was that he cites Dr. Thomas Sowell as being the chief philosopher of our time.
Yeah, one of the greatest philosophers of our time.
He does, absolutely.
No, no, it was a great piece.
I'll tell you why I didn't make it a priority.
And this is a psychological thing.
I agree with you.
It was fast.
It was interesting.
It's entertaining to read.
But I've gotten to the point, Marilyn, where I'm not going to allow myself to get all excited and validated when a lifelong lib converts as though, all right, okay, what I think is now worth it because a lib has seen the light.
You know, I'm welcoming him in.
Hello, Mr. Mammot.
Great to have you here.
Good for you.
Grateful for you.
You've seen the light.
You're going to be a happier guy.
You're going to do better work and so forth.
But I'm not going to sit around and go, whoa, wow, folks, we're really cool now.
We're really good because a Hollywood guy now agrees with it.
I just, you know, I just have this problem.
That to me is operating from a position of inferiority and defensiveness.
Perfectly okay.
And I am rather disappointed that Marilyn isn't in your top 10 all-time favorite names.
You didn't give me time.
Anyway, I appreciate your call.
Thank you.
I want to get one more in here before I have to go to this break.
Thanks.
This is Marcy in Cleveland.
Hi, Marcy.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Well, it's a pleasure.
Thank you for taking this call.
I lost my train of thought.
I'm looking at the computer right now, and I guess Barack Obama defended Reverend Wright's statements, and he's not going to remove him from his committee.
I guess the Pittsburgh Tribune Review has a story.
Yeah, I cited the story.
He didn't, he defends the guy overall.
He distanced himself from the comment where the Reverend, instead of saying God bless you.
He's very picking, right?
I think that's the one.
Yeah, but he's not refuting any of this.
He's just chalking it up to taking some guy out of context who's been the same thing for 40 years.
But Obama's not handling this thing well at all.
Well, I will tell you this.
I'm an Italian-American, white female, and what I heard upset me so much.
From the preacher, from the pastor?
Pardon?
Yes, yes, from his preacher.
I couldn't believe it.

But what I will tell you is that I'm voting Republican in November.

What, are you a Democrat?
Yes.
And this is amazing.
I'm speaking to you.

ABC is reporting it.
Brian Ross, ABC did a good job.
But everybody else has dropped.
Marcy, it's great to have you.
You and David Mammet.
All right.
We count.
Okay, folks, another exciting week of broadcast excellence in the can.
A full week of best of shows to boot.
We'll take a weekend, and we'll see you on Monday.
