Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
We he he he he he he he he.
Oh.
Remember all those times, ladies and gentlemen, I warned you, never ever trust a Clinton.
Nothing happens, nothing that happens with a Clintons is a coincidence.
Isn't it interesting with uh with the the Lord Barack Osama, Obama, whatever, plunging in the polls.
There's a story today from the Huffington Post about how he's losing in Pennsylvania.
And they can't believe it.
He ought to be cleaning up in Pennsylvania.
We can believe it.
We saw him lose Pennsylvania to Mrs. Clinton.
And there was no evidence that he was going to pick up the votes that she won.
So they're they're all concerned about that.
And Bill's out there now starting to give interviews about whether or not Obama is qualified.
And of course, Bill's also doing some other things out there.
You know, he's probably picking up the phone, he's making phone calls.
You know he is.
I look this guy can't win.
Look, he had he had he had look at that media contention he had with him when he over there went over there, Europe.
Oh hell, and then he's plumbing in the polls.
I mean, yeah, the guy can't win.
He can't win his numbers.
It's like I warned you, I warned you this is gonna happen.
You know those phone calls are being made.
Mrs. Clinton, after earlier in the week, saying she did not want her name placed in nomination at the convention, now says she does.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
We're here for another three fabulous hours together at 800-282-2882.
The email address is L Rushball at EIBNet.com.
This is juicy.
You know they're probably having in fact, Victor Davis Hanson today, National Review Online says the Democrats have to be having buyer's remorse over Obama.
This is not going the way anybody thought it was gonna go.
Uh, and they had ample time to do something about this during the primaries, but they just couldn't bring themselves to take the nomination away from uh from a black guy.
So they're they're in the situation.
McCain's doing well in places he's not supposed to be doing well, they're all scratching their heads over this, the Democrats are.
They just they just can't figure it out.
There's no unity behind the Messiah, is the bottom line here.
And I wanna I want you to hear a piece of audio.
Because folks, after yesterday's program, especially the first hour and a half of yesterday's program.
I you you you surely remember that I was just confounded here.
I was on the verge of being incoherent having to discuss the silly proposition that tire gauges and inflating tires was a salient, relevant, important part of our energy policy, which is to produce more energy.
And I got well, I went home last night and thinking about all this, even though yesterday's program was tons of fun, I will admit.
I said, Is this the best we've got?
Is this really the best we've looked at the presidential campaign is about inflating tires.
I mean, it's we've got a I'm gonna talk on uh touch on this in in a little bit more detail as the program unfolds today.
But this is this is it's a little bit distressing.
I mean, here we've got we've we've faced major problems.
We have great challenges in this country, and this campaign, I don't care which side of it you look at, has been reduced to ridiculousness.
It's been reduced to absurdity.
We know we now get stories.
There's there's a story from the AP today about pop culture.
Uh about the the uh remote control viewing habits in the McCain household and the Obama household.
It's it's it's a little dis a little disconcerting.
I want to add to it this next soundbite.
I don't know that you have heard this yet, ladies and gentlemen.
This happened yesterday in Elkhart, Indiana.
It was at a campaign event.
A little seven-year-old girl stood up to ask a question of Barack Obama.
Her name is Natalia.
Her question of Barack Obama, why did you start running for president?
America uh is no longer uh what it could be, what it once was.
And I say to myself, I don't want that future for my children.
All right.
Now, here he's brought it home.
Uh he had trashed his country in Germany.
He has seen the result of that in his plummeting poll numbers.
And now he does it again yesterday in Elkhart, Indiana.
A seven-year-old little girl.
You're running for president, Senator Obama.
A little girl asks you a question.
Why did you start running for president?
It's a seven-year-old Senator.
You tell her because you love the country.
You tell her because this is the greatest place on earth that we've got challenges, but you want to help the country through it.
You don't tell a seven-year-old that her country isn't what it once was.
You do not lie to seven-year-olds and tell them that your country sucks.
You just don't do it, Senator.
America is no longer what it could be, what it once was.
How the hell would you know, sir?
Your experience has only been in one part of America.
Elite leftist academia.
Oh, and with Jeremiah Wright, you have hung around with a bunch of people who do hate this country.
There's no question about that.
But for crying out to a seven-year-old.
America is uh no longer uh what it uh could be, what it uh once was.
And I say to myself, I don't want that future for my children.
You wouldn't want your life and your wife's life for your kids before you decided to run for president, Senator Obama, your wife was pulling down 300 grand working in PR at a hospital.
You had written two books that got you out of debt.
What is wrong with your life?
What is wrong with the opportunities in this country that have been made available to you?
That you wouldn't want for that seven-year-old girl that asked you to question, what's so bad about your life that you wouldn't want your kids living it?
You're running for president of the United States, and you run down the country to a seven-year-old.
I just this is we we've got to have better than this out there.
This is this is this just continues this absurdity about the tire pressure being a serious energy plan.
And by the way, by the way, here we go, the New York Times today.
Right here it is, ladies and gentlemen.
The great tire gauge debate appears to be winding down.
After telling a caller to a teleconference Tuesday night that, yes, keeping tires well inflated is a good thing.
Senator McCain tonight seemed to signal the matter was being put to rest.
Story goes on to say that um Obama was the winner.
The drive-by's the New York Times here has declared Obama the winner in the tire gauge back and forth.
This is an insult to everybody's intelligence.
Because there's no winner in the tire gauge business other than all of us who are laughing at the silliness of this.
And McCain lost the whole point of this anyway.
The original statement Obama made was we wouldn't have to drill at all for oil because if people would just inflate their tires, we would save as much acid.
gasoline oil as we would get from drilling.
That's the stupidest thing anybody's ever said running for president, including Dukakis and John Kerry.
And the drive by circle the wagons around this, McCain engages.
Oh, I agree with you.
Triple A says we should do that, but uh it's just it's just Obama wins this.
What are these people looking at?
Obama wins the tire gauge debate.
We had a tire gauge debate going on in our presidential campaign.
And Obama rips his own country to a seven-year-old girl in Elkhart, Indiana.
Let's go back to February 18th of this year.
This is in Madison, Wisconsin.
And this is Michelle My Bell, Obama.
Let me tell you something.
For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country.
And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.
I don't, you know, I don't care to analyze this.
You know, people say, well, look where she came as she grew up poor, she grew up black, and she's in a Princeton, all these student loans.
The way I look at it, she's in the top one percent of earners in this country at 300 grand before they pull her off that job or to be part of the presidential campaign.
She did get into Princeton and she wrote a lousy thesis and still graduated.
Uh I what what what is there to complain about?
These people cannot let go of something that never happened to them.
That's the bottom.
They cannot let go to something that did not happen to them.
And they hang around all these people that have the same viewpoint of America, and the Democrat Party has nominated this guy.
We remember when Michelle my bell was in uh Zanesville, Ohio, back in uh late February.
Remember what she said to a group of women there, quote, don't go into corporate America.
You know, become teachers, work for the community, be social workers, be a nurse.
Those are the careers that we need.
And we're encouraging our young people to do that.
But if you make that choice as we did, to move out of the money-making industry into the helping industry, then your salaries respond.
What do you mean as you did?
When did you move out of the money make you mean by Barack running for president?
And that's when you first became proud of your country?
At however old you are, Michelle My Bell.
So go tell people don't invest in your dreams.
Don't follow your passions.
Don't follow your desires.
Go out there and be what we think you should be.
Nobody's.
Invisible nobody's working in low-paying jobs because that's all this country's worth anyway.
Now, Michelle Mybell was taken off stage as she was made.
They did some kind of a makeover on her out there.
And she's surfaced now.
We have a couple soundbites.
She was on Good Morning America today.
Robin Roberts says to Michelle Mybell, the Paris Hilton Britney Spears ad, what was your reaction when you saw it?
You know, frankly, I didn't see the ad.
I rarely look at these ads.
So I don't know, you know, firsthand the content I've heard people talk about it.
But first reaction is, you know, it's it's it's funny to have anybody characterize Barack as an elitist.
You know, this is the kid who was raised by a single mother who didn't have um access to many resources, who, you know, has walked away his entire life from lucrative careers to work in the community.
Ha ha ha!
No, that's a new one.
He has walked away from lucrative careers to work in the community.
Have you heard that before?
That's uh that's a that's a new one uh on me.
Anyway, Michelle my bell, elitism doesn't even begin to describe your husband, egoist, egotist, messianic complex.
Besides, none of that has anything to do with money.
Why is it all these Democrats are constantly focused on money if it's not the Clintons telling everybody how rich they are and they don't need tax cuts?
It's Michelle and Barack Obama talking about how little they had when they were in the top one percent as a family.
And it's all about it's all about money with these people.
So elitism is an attitude, Michelle.
Elitism is a nose-in-the-air attitude that says, I'm better than everybody else.
I'm smarter than everybody else.
And that's your husband to a T. Robin Roberts then said, but the controversial New Yorker cover, where you're portrayed as being militant, Barack being defined as a Muslim with the turban.
What do you think when you pick that up and looked at it?
Well, this is tacky.
Um, but then, you know, you move on.
Um, then I pick up this great article about me and Ebney.
You know, so there's up and down, good and bad.
Um, you know, I just don't emotionally go uh to those high highs or those low lows.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the makeup change.
That's that's what they've been doing.
They've been stripping her emotions out of her.
She is a flatliner.
She's a straight liner.
I don't know if it's ProZac or whatever, Zoloft or whatever, but she's not mad anymore.
She's not gonna.
She's not going to get mad at anything anymore because that's not working.
And she's sitting there saying, Well, the thought in her head as she's answering these questions, these puffball softballs from Good Morning America.
We'll get back at them when we get in there.
We'll pay them back when we get in the White House.
Anyway, a little long here in our opening segment, ladies and gentlemen, a brief time out.
We'll come back and continue with much more right after this.
Everybody's bobbing their heads to this on the other side of the glass.
Ladies and gentlemen, just to be clear, I am not accusing Michelle Obama of being on drugs.
I'm simply used that uh ill as an illustration, suggest that they have really toned down her emotional reaction to things.
I mean, she was out there fired up and mad, and I think that's one of the reasons she was angry like Jeremiah Wright, and that's one of the reasons they had to do the makeover, so she came out and this appearance of Good Morning America, she's just flatlined.
I mean, it's just a straight line, there's no emotion whatsoever.
And they uh they're like they they they stripped it out, and I said like, if you're on Prozac or something, but I don't I'm not making the allegation.
I because I frankly don't even know what those drugs do.
Uh other than I've known one guy taking the stuff, and that's why I made the comment.
Because he's like a zombie.
At any rate, we are back.
800-282-288.
Did I step in it further there, HR?
Good.
Okay.
800 two eight, because I didn't identify the guy.
And I'm not trying to impugn the drugs.
I don't, I just eight hundred-two eight two-2882 is the number if you want to be on the program.
I have to go back and play this again.
A little seven-year-old girl uh w asks Obama yesterday, why do you want to be president?
America uh is no longer uh what it it could be, what it once was.
And I say to myself, I don't want that future for my children.
All right, let me take a different tack with this.
Because during the commercial break, Mr. Snerdley said to me over the IFB, I don't believe you don't get this.
And the staff never says that to me, ladies and I'm usually the one saying that to them.
I said, Well, what do I don't get?
He said, he wasn't lying to little girl.
That's exactly what he thinks.
That's how he was raised, and that's what he's been taught throughout his life that America's imperfect, it ain't any good.
It once was great, we don't know when, uh, but it's not as great as it once was.
And so what we really got there, essentially, ladies and gentlemen, and the children will always manage to pull this off.
We got 100% unfiltered honesty.
I mean, you did that he didn't even have to stop and think about that.
That that answer was instinctive.
And so we have the Democrat Party presidential nominee, presumptive nominee, actually saying to an audience in Elkhart, Indiana, and a seven-year-old little girl what he thinks of his country, and it's not good.
Now, don't misunderstand this.
I am not some, you know, b idealist here who thinks that there's nothing wrong with this country and that you cannot criticize the country.
Not by a long time, there's plenty wrong with this country, led by people like Obama and liberals.
There's plenty wrong with the country.
But fundamentally, institutionally, this is the greatest place on earth, the greatest place it's ever been.
And it's those fundamentals and those institutions that the left predominantly, when I say that, I'm talking about our founding.
The founding of this country, the principles, the concepts, the fundamentals, the traditions, and the institutions of our founding are what is under assault.
And when Obama and liberals look at America and don't like it, that's what they see.
They see the principles of the founding, and they don't like it.
They don't like the Second Amendment, for example.
They put things in the Constitution that aren't there.
Yeah, you've been through all of this over the course of of twenty years.
So I I'm not a uh blind, you know, rose-colored glasses kind of person.
But somebody running for the presidency of the United States.
It seems to me, would look in fact, you know, Obama thinks he's JFK, right?
He's out there thinking he's JFK, he's trying to adopt some of the physical mannerisms of JFK, and they're talking about Camelot too and so forth.
This campaign in 1960, a presidential campaign in 1960, was I was nine years old.
I was the first time I paid any attention to presidential campaign.
I mean, in serious way.
I had my dad helping me.
And we were we were coming off of pretty good boom.
World War II, the 50s, things were booming.
And JFK acknowledged it.
And he said, But you know what?
We can do even better.
Pass the torch to a new generation.
We can do even better.
But he did not criticize the country.
So we can do even better.
So Obama has a lot to learn, but they don't want to do better in the sense that you and I think the country can improve.
They want to totally change it.
On the cutting edge, Rush Limboy, your guiding light.
The excellence in broadcasting network.
Mrs. Clinton, ladies and gentlemen, July 31st of this year.
A mere week ago, essentially, at a California fundraiser.
What will happen at the convention in respect to, you know, my putting my name in nomination, a roll call vote, and the usual kind of uh process that occurs at conventions.
Well, you know, we're we're trying to we're trying to work that out with the Obama campaign and with the DNC.
I I happen to believe that we will come out stronger if people feel that their voices were heard and they're used to as possible.
I think that is a very big part of how we actually come out unified.
All right, Operation Chaos.
Operation Chaos, Mrs. Clinton wants her name placed in nom in uh in nomination.
Uh July 31st, California fundraiser, she then said this.
We do not want any Democrat either in the hall or in the stadium or at home, walking away saying, Well, you know, I'm just not satisfied enough.
I'm not happy.
I mean, that's what I'm trying to avoid.
Can you believe this?
This is just a week ago.
We don't want anybody at the convention walking away saying they're unhappy, unsatisfied.
Now, how the hell could that happen when they're nominating a Messiah?
If there's all this unity behind Obama, if there's all this excitement, if there's all this fainting and swooning and 45,000 people or more at his speeches, then how could anybody leave there unsatisfied.
This is sounding more and more like the Republican convention of 1976.
That whole convention, Ronald Reagan kicked butt.
Every speech he gave was far better than Gerald Ford.
But Gerald Ford was incumbent and the old party hacks and we're not going to upset the apple cart now.
And everybody knew they were nominating the wrong guy.
And I bet you, folks, I think there's some of that going on in the Democrat Party now, that they have nominated the wrong person.
This guy should be up by 10 to 15 points to drive by's writing stories about why isn't that happening?
And now Mrs. Clinton saying we gotta get her names in nomination out there, her name and nomination, so that people don't walk away unhappy.
Dissatisfied.
And you know, you know that old Bill's out there working the phones.
I warned you people, I warned you, I tried to tell you, but he threw the race car down on me, and I got distracted everybody.
And I had to run around and defend myself as a race.
I'm the first black president of this country.
I had to run around and tell everybody I'm not a racist.
Well, I warned you, I said this is not gonna work.
This guy can't win.
He can't get enough votes, he ain't enough support, got no experience at all.
Look, he got all that media coverage over there when he went over that summer intern tour that Limbaugh calls it, he's exactly right about that.
And what happened?
His numbers fail.
Keep falling.
I try to warn you, don't ever, ever think that anything that happens with the Clintons is anything but coincidences.
And nothing is coincidence with the Clintons and never ever trust them.
And from the AmericanThinker.com today, a story, could Obama still lose the nomination?
Will Hillary outsmart Obama and take the nomination at the last minute?
Many of us familiar with Hillary Clinton's approach to achieving her goals refuse to believe that she ever gave up all hope of winning the nomination and the presidency.
Her words and actions on the subject of the convention itself always left the door open for a return.
Should Obama falter or suffer some calamity?
Her artful evasions were enough to lull journalists, and more importantly, the Messiah and his disciples into the presumption of inevitability.
No further rumblings of a mass protest in Denver.
Should the first black candidate be denied his rightful due were heard?
After all, he received enough uh publicly expressed support from the superdelegates to put him over the top.
Everybody presumed the presumptive nominee was a lock, but now there are a few signs that Hillary may be making her move.
A blogger, Peterico, alludes to the Hillary campaign, burning up the phone lines to the superdelegates.
That's right.
Just as I just told you.
Then Bill Clinton told ABC News, I'm not a racist.
Contended the race card was played against him.
Hillary's Puma, which is short for party unity, my uh Derrier.
Supporters in Denver and nationally plan a rally at a Denver park during the convention, and ABC News reported yesterday that Hillary does not rule out putting her name and nomination contradicting earlier press reports.
Now, if the party goes along with Obama's request, then it will reduce the number of superdelegates uh who would who would need to sit out.
Well, after he accepted the decision last June to seat the delegates uh from Michigan and Florida, but with half votes.
Only days ago, Obama said he wanted the delegates to have full votes.
Now, obviously, he said this believing he's won the nomination and that pandering to voters and critical general election states is of more importance.
So he wanted he wanted to give all these people in those states full votes.
If they go along with his plan, then it reduces the number of superdelegates who would need to sit out the first ballot for Obama to be denied the nomination, which would open the way for Clinton.
Now this is proof that the man should not be negotiating with Achmadinizad.
If he can't think strategically and recognize his vulnerability to a last minute ambush at the convention, he'd be eaten alive in a big league world affairs.
I don't think he does he doesn't think he's not a strategist.
He's a learner.
He absorbs knowledge, but this he's he's and is able to res uh repeat it.
But he's uh this is like all elitists, and like all people with profound egos, he thinks that simply the force of his personality is all he needs to accomplish anything, be it with Ahmadini's odd or keeping Hillary at bay or uh or what have you.
Uh now, David Axelrod is the uh is the campaign architect and guru behind the Messiah, and he was on Scarborough's show today on DNC TV.
And Scarborough said Hillary Clinton thinks her name should be on the ballot in Denver.
What do you think?
We're working closely with him.
You know, we put out a joint statement last night.
We're gonna work this out.
I know that you guys love conflict and you love intrigue and all that stuff.
Senator Clinton talks to uh Senator Obama regularly.
She's campaigning for us uh tomorrow in Nevada.
So you we're gonna work this out.
Work what out.
And according to who are you gonna work this out?
I mean, you're gonna work out all of a sudden she wants her name place a nomination?
Well, how are you gonna work that out?
Either going to let her do it or not let her do it.
What is there to work out?
You guys have the Messiah.
He's already president.
Don't you what I can't believe Axelrod's forgotten this.
He's been treated as president when he went over to see Sarkozy.
He was treated as president when he was in Germany, not by Merkel, she didn't do that.
He'd been treated as president everywhere.
He took the American flag off his campaign plane.
The chair that he sits in on his campaign plane says president on it, uh, as it he's got the campaign logo, Obama.com for president.
He already thinks he is the president.
And yet they got to work something out here with Mrs. Clinton, who the last we knew was vanquished.
So Scarborough then said, well, when Bill Clinton can't even say whether your candidates qualified to be president of the United States, I don't think that that's looking for conflict.
I think that's an in your face.
Did you see the interview?
I sure did.
Mika, the the fact is that there was a, you know, I think that there was a picking at the scab there.
And I thought he was pretty restrained in response.
Oh, there was picking a scab.
It was Kate Snow that did the interview for ABC, and it was picking a scab.
What's the scab?
All she did was ask uh Clinton if Obama's qualified.
Here is what Clinton said to that, by the way.
You could argue that no one's ever ready to be president.
I mean, I certainly learned a lot about the job in the first year.
You could argue that even if you've been vice president for eight years, that no one can ever be fully ready for the pressures of the office, and everyone learns something and something different.
You could argue that.
You think he's completely qualified to be president?
The Constitution sets qualifications for the president.
And then the people decide who they think would be the better president.
I think we have two choices.
I think he should win, and I think he will win.
Well, now, folks, I don't care what that last comment was.
This is not an endorsement.
He will not say whether or not uh Obama is qualified because they haven't given this up.
Mark my words.
And what fun would that be?
Hey, folks, there's a little progress to report out there in the uh in the McCain campaign.
And by the way, I like a question.
I ask a question of uh the Messiah and his disciples.
If the country's no good right now, if it's uh it's not what it once was, when was the country better?
We need to ask him this.
Somebody needs to ask, when was the country better, Obama?
Was it better before civil rights legislation legislation 1964?
Was it better before the Great Society?
Was it better before the war on poverty?
Was it better before affirmative action, Senator?
Was it better before Roe versus Wade?
When was the country better, Senator?
The Messiah needs to stick to the prompter and fast.
Now here's the good news in the McCain campaign.
He's actually attacking a Democrat now.
Rather than somebody in his own party.
I had to hear this twice before I believed it.
McCain's in Olima, Ohio, this afternoon at a town hall meeting.
Behind all the words, Senator Obama's agenda can be summarized as this.
Government's too big, he wants to grow it, taxes are too high, he wants to raise them.
Congress spends too much, and he proposes more.
We need more energy, and he's against producing it.
We're finally winning in Iraq, and he wants to forfeit.
The bottom line that Senator Obama's words for all her eloquence and passion don't mean all that much.
Stunning, stunning.
I'm sitting here in stunned disbelief.
The Republican presidential nominee has actually criticized the Democrat nominee.
Make a note on your calendars, my friends.
August 7th, 2008.
And not once in this bite did he agree with Obama about anything.
McCain's also running another ad.
This is uh soundbite number 10 out there, Mike.
Uh McCain running another ad, and this fits with his strategy of attracting Democrats.
This this new ad uh filled with Democrats, including Obama, praising him.
He can work with Democrats on key issues, whether he's campaign finance reform or tobacco policy.
He's worked with us.
Well, John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain.
And I have enormous respect for him.
He is a courageous, patriotic American who stands up for what he believes.
I admire Senator McCain greatly, and he's one of the people we model our campaign over on because he is very direct, very blunt, and nobody has to guess at what he's thinking.
No, I love John McCain.
He's a great guy.
Coming to Washington, I believe that the right approach uh begins with the proposal put forward by Senator Lieberman and Sam McCain.
I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House.
And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.
That's now.
I right, right.
I gave you one and take it away.
That's exactly right.
Now, here's the thing about this, and two things about this ad.
The first one is it's obvious.
Okay, do we, as McCain voters, actually want to hear him be praised?
And I'll tell you who was in there, Dashell, Biden, the haughty John Kerry who served in Vietnam.
Howard Dean was in there, Russ Feingold, the Messiah was in there.
And of course, the last comment was Mrs. Clinton, who said, I know Senator McCain's has a lifetime of experience over into the White House.
Senator Obama has a speech that he gave in 2002.
I think she means 2004, but that's beside the point.
Okay, so do we really want to hear Democrats praising McCain?
Is that is that what we?
The voters that McCain is ultimately going to need.
Is that what we want to hear?
No, of course not.
But on the other hand, every one of these people in this ad, except for Hillary, and just give her a chance, is ripping McCain to shreds today.
So and they're all talking how happy they would be to serve with him.
In Biden's case, I'll be happy to run with him or against him.
So these comments were made within the in some of within the context of McCain seeking the presidency.
So this is this is why I don't go to the White House correspondence dinner.
Because it's a phony baloney plastic banana good time rock and roll event where people who hate each other and hate the president act like they get along and it's one big family and party for one night and it's a joke.
Well, here we go.
All of this comedy, which which which are we supposed to believe from Tom Dashell?
Are we supposed to believe Tom Dashell when he says McCain can work with Democrats on key issues, whether it's campaign finance reform or tobacco pottery?
He worked with us.
Are we to believe Dashell means that?
Or are we to believe Dashell when he criticizes McCain today as an Obama supporter?
Same thing with Biden.
John Kerry, I have enormous respect for him.
He's a courageous, patriotic American who stands up for what he believes.
And carries out there kind of kind of agreeing with Wesley Clark that what McCain did not that big a deal to qualify for the what are we supposed to believe?
This whole class of people is a bunch of phony baloney plastic banana good time rock and rollers.
Who are we to believe?
Which version of these Democrats are to believe.
Why did they find it necessary to sing McCain's praises?
And then all of a sudden he gets the nomination, and he's the only difference between him and a bag of manure is the bag.
And this is, you know, frankly, this is why a lot of people just keep politics at an arm's length because they don't know who they can believe.
In fact, they think they can't believe anybody, that these people are all in it for themselves.
One more time, though, I have to hear this.
McCain actually attacking a Democrat in Lima, Ohio, just this very afternoon in a town meeting.
Behind all the words, Senator Obama's agenda can be summarized as this.
Government's too big, he wants to grow it, taxes are too high, he wants to raise them.
Congress spends too much, and he proposes more.
We need more energy, and he's against producing it.
We're finally winning in Iraq, and he wants to forfeit.
The bottom line that Senator Obama's words for all our eloquence and passion don't mean all that much.
Well, I'm glad that wasn't on a teleprompter.
He actually said those words like he means them.
Quick time out, folks.
We'll be back in just a moment.
As further evidence, ladies and gentlemen, that uh Barack Obama was telling the truth to the seven-year-old in Elkart, Indiana.
November 23rd, 2004, during a book signing for his uh his book, Dreams from My Father.
The basic outlines of the government that we possess and our civic religion as a people uh is such that um potentially at least uh we could create uh a society that is the model for the world.
Uh It isn't right now.
Barack Obama in 2004, telling the truth, he thinks this country is defective.
There's major problems with it.
It's not a model for the world.
