Time Text
This is absurd.
This is comical.
I'm watching the drive-bys here during the break.
You know what the big topic on MSNBC right now is, is Bush's speech tonight on the economy, 9 o'clock.
I'm not going to tell you what he's going to say, but I know what he's going to say.
They brought in the big gun anchors at 2 o'clock in the afternoon to do a seven-hour pregame show on the president's 9 o'clock speech.
And you know what the big topic is?
Executive pay.
He better make sure that he cuts executive pay.
Rome is burning and they're worried about executive pay.
Typical leftists.
The only thing funny about this is the executives they're talking about are also leftists.
They're also liberal Democrats.
Greetings.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh to EIB Network.
Executive pay.
Where's that going to stop?
Executive pay, then they're going to get to your pay.
Executive pay?
You better call Frank Reigns in there and you better get Jim Johnson in there.
Executive pay.
Oh, I know it's popular.
It's class envy.
Well, why should these people?
I'm not saying, yeah, they should get their golden parachutes and anything when they fail.
Don't misunderstand me here.
Put limits on executive pay has got nothing to do with this.
This is a government problem.
The capitalist system did not do this.
This is, we need to put a cap on, no, not a cap on Warren Buffett's showing the way out of this.
He got a sweetheart deal, but he's a capitalist in a China shop here.
Showing how Warren Buffett's not relying on the government, is he?
To make Berkshire Hathaway go, he saw an opportunity of buy opportunity.
Went in there, negotiated a deal at Goldman Sachs.
You and I can't get it, but he did because of the amount of money he can give them.
So what?
It's capitalism.
It's the way it works.
It is not the government.
Warren Buffett did not send Chris Dodd in to negotiate the deal for him.
Warren Buffett did not call Barney Frank and say, hey, can you help me out at Goldman Sachs?
He didn't call Hank Paulson, who used to work, didn't call Corzine, who used to work there, didn't call Rubin.
He called whoever's running the show now.
And they said, he just sucked it up.
Say, yeah, hell yes, $5 billion here.
What do you want for it?
Take whatever you want for it.
Executive pay.
They're crying out loud.
See, I intended to start this hour with audio soundbites.
This is what I meant.
I keep getting ganged up on here by idiots in the news.
And I feel the need to comment on it.
All right, let's see.
Well, let me just continue in this vein for a quick minute here because the problem, the problem with Democrats running Congress is that they can't let the light of day in on their greed and their ripoff of the American taxpayer.
We're going to start going after greed and this class envy stuff.
Let's take it right where it's originating, and that's Democrats in Congress.
There ought to be no bill, no bailout that allows the inherently flawed dynamic of Democrats breaking this stuff to fix it.
Dodd, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, they have to step down or recuse themselves from voting on this legislation.
This is a scandal.
This is a scandal.
It's not a collapse.
It is a scandal.
And that's the way you need to look at it.
A scandal of this magnitude that there's no price to pay?
Executive pay?
The executives?
Yeah, the ease evil capitalist robber barrier.
Yeah, they're going to pay.
Democrats are trying to see to it that we win a war without heroes.
They want to lead America's greatest economic scandal without any culprits and accountability.
This is a huge scandal.
And you watch, before this is all over, the Democrats are going to have to punish somebody in order to change the topic.
And it's going to be a great CYA maneuver that they make.
Anything that's done to punish the wealthiest Americans, their most successful corporations, is going to hurt this country.
They are the job creators.
If Democrats drag their feet on a plan, any plan for the purpose of letting the market slide so to help Obama, then there's going to be damage to the little guy, and that's always what happens with Democrat plans to help the little guy.
It's a little guy that ends up getting the shaft.
A loss of wealth is a setback to the entire country, however they structure it.
Get the two stories here, and I'm going to go to the audio soundbites, I promise.
First story is entitled Looking for the White Man.
That's my title for it.
It's from thepolitico.com.
In an election year where Barack Obama pledged to change the electorate, the centrist Democrat Leadership Council has weighed into the debate with a detailed report arguing it'll be difficult for Obama to earn enough African-American and youth support to compensate for enduring Democrat failures with white voters.
The report calculates that a 10% increase in black voter turnout amounts to a one percentage point uptick in the overall electorate, assuming all other groups remain constant.
That means that if the black voting rate rises from 60% to 67.2, the level of whites as measured by the Census Bureau, it amounts to 1.7 million votes, less than George W. Bush's margin of victory in 2004.
So they're very upset here.
They say it's this electoral math the Obama campaign is now forced to face down the challenge for Democrats to find a political formula that appeals to swing voters.
That challenge is daunting, but not impossible.
So now they're focused on race again.
They just can't let it go.
The three days in a row here that we've had, oh, woe is us, white Democrats, a large number of them won't vote for Obama because he's black.
And then Jesse Washington writing in the Associated Press, get this.
Spurred by the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, we are finally, inevitably, talking about race.
Finally talking about race?
Yes, a full-breath conversation now.
We're having a full conversation about race that this country has never, ever had before, which is absurd.
They're obsessed with it, and they're obsessed with it because it's hurting them.
All right, audio soundbites.
What we've got here, a little A-B side-by-side comparison to show you the similarity in philosophy and beliefs of Mahmoud Ahmadinezad of Iran and the Democrat presidential nominee, Barack Hussein Obama.
Now, there's not much difference on these two guys, except one of them speaks Iranian and therefore need a translator.
So here's first, this on Iraq, America was wrong.
Iraq is now occupied six years later.
Here's Ahmedinezad before the UN yesterday.
Iraq was attacked under the false pretext of uncovering weapons of mass destruction and overthrowing a dictator.
The dictator is a topple and WMDs are not uncovered.
The Democratic government is established by the votes of the people, but after six years, the occupiers are still there.
Here is Obama.
All these Obama bites come from July 24th in Berlin.
Here's Obama basically saying the same thing.
This is the moment when the world should support the millions of Iraqis who seek to rebuild their lives, even as we pass responsibility to the Iraqi government and finally bring this war to a close.
We got to get out of there.
And of course, we didn't.
Obama has criticized the lack of WMDs being found and so forth.
We didn't need to put that in.
Here is now the Ahmadinezad echoing other Obama talking points.
This is yesterday at the United Nations talking about Afghanistan.
Here, terrorism and drugs are spreading.
The place a mess.
NATO and America made it worse.
In Afghanistan, production of narcotics has multiplied since the presence of NATO forces.
Domestic conflicts continue.
Terrorism is spreading.
And innocent people are bombarded on a daily basis in streets, markets, schools, and wedding ceremonies.
NATO forces, that's us.
I mean, he's Ahmadinezad ripping America here for all the violence and all the horrible things that are going on in Afghanistan.
Here is Barack Hussein Obama, July 24th from Berlin.
We must renew our resolve to rout the terrorists who threaten our security in Afghanistan and the traffickers who sell drugs on your streets.
No one welcomes war.
I recognize the enormous difficulties in Afghanistan.
But my country and yours have a stake in seeing that NATO's first mission beyond Europe's borders is a success.
For the people of Afghanistan and for our shared security, the work must be done.
Right.
Now, you might say, well, this is not Ahmadine's.
No, he is accepting Ahmadinezad's premise.
He is saying what Ahmedinezad is saying.
Ahmadinezad saying NATO going in there.
Everything's worse now.
Drug trafficking, all this stuff.
Obama says, yep, with threatened security in there, there's terrorists in there.
Traffickers are selling drugs are out there on the streets.
Nobody welcomes war, but we've got a stake in seeing it.
NATO's mission works, which means it's not working.
Here is Mahmoud Ahmadinezad on world poverty and global warming yesterday at the United Nations.
Expanding hegemonic domination.
Destroying the environment and destroying the social solidarity of nations.
There is no end in sight to this.
Poverty, hunger, and deprivation are hurting more than one billion of the world's population and have dashed their hopes for a decent life.
Forget that this guy's insane and that he's, you know, his people are starving.
It's not the point here.
Here is Barack Hussein Obama, July 24th, Berlin, Germany, on world poverty and global warming caused by American capitalism.
As we speak, cars in Boston and factories in Beijing are melting the ice caps in the Arctic, shrinking coastlines in the Atlantic, and bringing drought to farms from Kansas to Kenya.
The poverty and violence in Somalia breeds the terror of tomorrow.
The genocide in Darfur shames the conscience of us all.
So a recitation of the world's problems.
You can hardly tell the difference here between Mahmoud Ahmadinezad and what's his name?
Barack Obama.
Now, he said cars in Boston.
He put us in there.
Here's Mahmoud.
America is at the end of the road.
American Empire in the world is reaching the end of its road.
And its next rulers must limit their interference to their own borders.
Today, the thought of hegemony quickly becomes a demerit.
Obama on the same subject.
I know my country has not perfected itself.
At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people.
We've made our share of mistakes.
And there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.
Mamu, Dr. Martinizad, and Barack Obama.
Were it not for the translator, you might not be able to tell them apart.
Okay, more audio soundbites.
And ladies and gentlemen, we have four of them coming up with the esteemed Barney Frank, Democrat Massachusetts.
Barney used to be a regular fixture on this program, with frequent utterances and scandals himself involving what was it that was going on in his basement with his boyfriend that we oh yeah, it was a child prostitution ring going.
The guy was well not child, but it was the guy was supposed.
The rumor is that it was just straight up prostitution.
It was but patrolling the schools, right and so forth, and it was going on in Barney's basement.
Barney did not know about it uh, and Barney was fixing the parking tickets uh, that were needed to uh park in front of the uh, the house here where stuff was going on.
He didn't know about it anyway.
Uh, we had a Barney Frank update.
This, is it okay, our Bonnie Barney Frank update theme.
And let's go to the audio sound bites.
Yesterday I pointed out to you that Democrats Chuck Schumer.
Targeting homeownership is the problem here.
The lowly mortgage has brought our economy to its knees.
Last night on PBS the Charlie Rose show he talked to congressman Frank.
Charlie Rose said, who is representing the vast middle class here who faces these kinds of foreclosures?
Where is that voice at the table?
Well that's frankly, the Democrats.
Uh, some Republicans.
We are the ones who have said, look, you're going to buy up some of these assets and many of them will be mortgage securities.
What we're saying is, buy them with an eye towards assembling enough of them so we then can be the landlord, in effect, and reduce the foreclosures.
And that's one frankly, that the administration has been resisting.
Thank god there, he just said, the federal government, he Barney Franklin, they want to be the landlord, they want to buy up enough of these mortgages so that they can be the landlord.
The land they own, you rent folks.
This is one of the guys that caused this.
And then Barney he wasn't through.
Same show, Charlie Rose, he continued.
When we talk about the large amounts of money, it's not simply that we're jealous because they're getting too much money.
It has a bad effect on their behavior.
We have what's called a perverse incentive in many of these corporations.
If the ceo and the top people make a bet on a certain risky investment and it pays off, they get a bonus.
If it doesn't pay off, they don't lose anything.
Well now, that sounds remarkably similar to certain aspects of the U.s tax code, doesn't it?
I mean, do I get to deduct stock losses?
I don't think so.
At any rate uh, if it's this, this is exactly.
We're back to executive pay.
Ceos have a perverse incentive uh, and it has a bad behavior, bad effect on their behavior.
So now Barney Frank wants the government to become your landlord and he wants the government to be in charge of the behavior of ceos.
Yesterday on CNBC, Aaron Burnett talked to Barney Frank.
Is it pretty clear that Henry Paulson doesn't want all those restrictions in his current bill?
I understand and I I admire secretary Paulson a great deal, but on this one, asking him to accept any kind of compensation limitations is just kind of like asking a rabbi to eat bacon on yum kipper, he starts to just really overreact.
They don't want any limitations on executive pay.
The bacon on Yum Kipper.
Yeah, that's over, you start to overreact.
Asking it, yeah, that's what he did.
Asking a rabbi to eat bacon on Yom Kippur, he starts to overreact.
And so this Paulson was overreacting yesterday to the desire by Democrats to control Evan even more of the private sector.
We are talking about the private sector.
They are the ones that broke this.
The scandal is inside the doors at Capitol Hill, transferred to Democrat cronies at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which were partially under government auspices anyway, even though they insult our intelligence and tell us that they were private sector businesses.
A brief time.
This is where we're headed if the Democrats get their way.
They screw it up and they get to control it even more.
Welcome back, Rushland Boy.
Talent.
So much talent on loan from God.
All right, from the AmericanThinker.com.
This is brazen.
It's about Ohio.
The Secretary of State there fooling around with Republican absentee ballots.
Jennifer Bruner has been referred to as the most partisan official in the state.
The Attorney General, I'm sorry, she's Secretary of State.
Secretary of State Jennifer Bruner is disqualifying thousands of Republican votes through some arrogant chicanery that would make Mayor Daly in Chicago proud.
The McCain campaign sent out more than 1 million applications for absentee ballots to Republicans.
Each had a line at the top next to a box that says, I'm a qualified elector.
Bruner sent a memo telling county election officials to reject all applications for absentee ballots if the box was not checked.
Failure to check the box leaves both the applicant and the board of elections without verification that the applicant is a qualified elector, she wrote.
But that's contrary to state law, and Bruner does not have the authority, according to a lawsuit and an opinion from Hamilton County's Republican prosecutor Joe Dieters.
Ohio law allows voters to request an absentee ballot on the back of a grocery sack if they want to, as long as they include their name, address, date of birth, signature, and either a driver's license number, the last four numbers of the Social Security number, or a valid picture ID.
There's nothing in the law about checking a box to verify a qualified voter.
The voter's signature is enough because that's what's checked to send ballots, said Hamilton County Clerk of Courts, Greg Hartman, who ran against Bruner in 2006 and is now the county chairman for the McCain-Palin campaign.
It's just bald partisanship.
She's just trying to qualify likely McCain voters.
This is the Ohio Secretary of State.
We had a run-in with her, didn't we?
And some other Democrat, I forget what it was, the money, Operation Chaos.
It was Operation Chaos.
We had a run-in with this babe already over Operation Chaos.
Yeah.
That's what it was.
All right, here's, well, they'll get it fixed here, but this is just the efforts.
They cheat, and this is not the action of confident people.
This is not the actions of confident people.
Can I say something?
This early voting: it is a recipe for fraud.
Do you realize starting September 30th, people in Ohio can vote?
And a lot of other places too.
And it is a recipe for fraud.
I just, I mean, I can understand you in an absentee ballot a couple weeks before.
This early voting garbage.
I mean, we all know where this originated, too.
It's to help fix the problem.
Oh, and guess what?
In Florida, Palm Beach County, they still have machine problems.
This is a joke.
And the local rag newspapers are all wringing their hands about this.
And even my brother David sent me a note last night.
Look at this.
There's something like 3,000 or 30,000, whatever, votes in question from the last test election.
And this is the third, apparently now the third vote mechanism.
They had to hang in Chad ballot.
Then they went to the machines.
And now we've got to, because the Democrats in this county cannot understand how they are losing.
Now we have to have machines that print paper results.
And it isn't working flawlessly.
And they're all wringing their hands.
And what everybody needs to remember is that Democrats run this county.
Democrats have run this county since long before I got here.
So it's just, it's just, and you got Acorn out there trying to register as many, and they still keep losing these elections.
They keep losing these national elections.
All right, to the phones.
And we're going to go to Kokomo, Indiana.
This is Paul.
Paul, thank you so much for waiting.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, very honored to speak with you.
Thank you, sir.
I do believe that the Democrats are shaking in their boots because you get this random, not really random story about how one-third of Americans are going to be voting early.
That seems like an awfully high number.
My question is: how many of these voters are going to be voting in Michigan, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, etc.?
And how many of them are probably going to be asked to make another cameo appearance in November?
And if you remember, in Indiana, Lake County, during the primaries of Operation Chaos, it took them just about as long as Obama's been in the Senate to figure out who won that primary.
Yeah, because this stupid, the mayor of Gary was running around saying, well, we're just going to wait and see what we need here.
Something like that.
He actually went and started talking to the press.
If he hadn't started trying to make himself a big power broke, if he had just shut up, he might have been able to pull off the fraud.
And that's adjacent to Chicago.
So there's no doubt in my mind.
I think they're scared.
And oh, by the way, my wife and I have a beautiful boy with Down syndrome.
We both knew that he was going to have Down syndrome.
And he's happier than any Democrat that there is in Congress.
And he's not a punishment to my wife and I at all.
He's a blessing.
God bless you, sir.
That's a great line.
He's happier than any Democrat that there is in Congress.
Okay, look, Paul, thank you for the call.
I appreciate it.
He reminds me, I'll tell you a little story.
This is anecdotal, and you cannot attach any scientific substance to this.
Snerdley was telling me that he was talking to the editrix of the Limbaugh Letter newsletter, Diana Schneider-Aloco.
And they were comparing notes.
She lives up in Westchester County, and Snerdley lives out in the hinterlands here of central Florida.
He trucks in every morning.
And he says, you know, back this time in 2004, you couldn't drive three blocks without being in and daily with John Kerry yard signs and bumper stickers.
And you don't see them today.
There aren't hardly any Obama bumper stickers or yard signs out there.
And when he was talking to Diana about it in Westchester County, she said much the same thing.
There just doesn't seem to be the outward display of support for Obama that there was for Kerry.
Now, look, this is all anecdotal, but in both places, we're talking about heavy Democrat populations.
King County, Washington.
Remember Democrats demanding a recount when Republicans had more votes, ended up with Christine Gregwaugh being elected.
They did more votes than voters.
She had more votes than voters.
And so they demanded a recount.
After the recount, she had more votes than voters.
So they're, you know, they're who they are.
They're just sometimes all you can do is laugh at it.
Here's Kate in Fairfield.
Oh, it's Kate from Fairfield back.
Kate, how are you?
I'm very well, Rush, dear.
How are you?
Never better.
Thank you.
Wonderful.
I tried to get through on your 20-year, but I just couldn't.
I'm a 22-year listener, for those who don't know.
The reason I'm calling is this whole drive-by thing and their attempt to try and make race the issue.
And, you know, race hasn't been the as I told Bo, if Clarence Thomas was running with Bo Snerdley, I would vote for them, okay?
We're talking Democrats here.
We're talking Democrats here, and I'm talking issues.
It's about the issues, Rush.
It's about where Obama stands.
It's about where he wants to take us.
It's about his socialism.
It's about his background.
It's about who his mentors are.
It's not about his race.
I could care less about his race, okay?
I could care less that Sarah Palin's a woman.
I'm happy she's a woman, but I love her stands on the issues.
I love the way she communicates the issues.
Yeah.
Okay?
It doesn't have anything to do with whether she's a woman or he's a black man.
Of course, what the drive-by is running these stories are doing two things.
One, there probably is, there probably are in certain Democrat states, certainly these blue-collar Democrats, there probably are some people that aren't going to vote for a black guy.
This will not be a first.
Remember the Bradley effect.
Remember the Wilder effect.
I mean, there are white people who lie to pollsters when they get the privacy of the absentee ballot or the voting booth that just won't pull the trigger.
And the Democrats, they've identified this.
I mean, I know that it exists.
But what really, what you're saying is that primarily I agree with they will not consider the possibility that it's Obama and his issues being rejected.
No, no, no, it has to be some.
They have to blame it on America.
Have to blame it on America being stuck in the past, having not made nearly as much progress as we all thought.
It's all part of a scheme to set up explaining his loss so as not to have to explain that it was issues, like you say, that were responsible.
And not only explaining his loss, but blaming us, blaming us, because we're a bunch of prejudiced, racist people that won't vote for a black man.
I would if it was Clarence Thomas and Bo Snerdley.
Yeah, but remember now, I agree with these stories are dealing with Democrat voters.
They're not calling you and me racists in these stories.
Right.
They're calling Democrat blue-collar union workers.
In fact, let me, there's another one here.
Well, I have you.
Yes.
Youngstown, Ohio.
This is from Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review.
You just knew that when Joe O'Connell, former head of the local AFL-CIO, got on stage in Youngstown with John McCain and Sarah Palin, things were not going smoothly for the Obama campaign.
I'm a lifelong Democrat, intelligent Democrat.
I'm supporting McCain, said McConnell.
McConnell assured the energized crowd that organized labor will have a seat at the table when McCain becomes president.
It's the kind of statement Pennsylvania AFL-CIO President Bill George does not want to hear.
It's a problem, Bill George says, that we're in an all-out effort to educate our members of the Democrat Party is the only one for working problems.
Bill George narrows the problem down to race.
There's no question.
Earlier in the primary campaign, the racial issue was there, just like the gender issue was with Hillary for some unions.
So that's who they're doing stories, Kate.
Drive-by's ripping their own voters, liberal Democrat union members, blue collars.
They're saying if Obama loses, cause our Democrats are racist.
Right, exactly, exactly.
And isn't that sad?
Well, why not run the story and say it was Republicans?
Because that would revitalize.
That would just gin up the Republican base.
That would make us so mad.
We'd show up in more numbers than exist.
We're already pretty mad, Rush.
Well, they're doing this.
Yes, I understand.
They're doing this, I think, to try to shame these people.
Right.
To shame them into going in and pulling the lever for Obama.
Correct.
Even if they don't agree with him on the issues.
Right, right.
Right.
Exactly.
Kate, it's always a pleasure to hear from you.
And to talk to you also.
Well, take care and have a wonderful week, and we'll see you next time you make it through.
Okay, bye.
Right after this, we'll be back.
I just check in the email.
Rush, Obama, you're not even talking about it.
He's lying in all of his ads.
He's lying about McCain and Social Security, lying about McCain in stem cells.
Hey, folks, he's lying about me.
But why wouldn't Obama lie in his ads?
First, he's a liberal.
Second, he knows the drive-bys are never going to call him on it.
Not en masse, not in a serious way, not in a way that hurts him.
Folks, Barack Obama is down to one thing: all of the glitter and all of the aura of the Messiah and his hope change rig and roll.
It's all gone.
It's vanished.
All he's got is lies.
That's all any liberal has running for office, is lies.
Why wouldn't he lie?
He can't tell the truth about what he's going to do, and he knows the drive-bys are going to call him on it.
Get ready.
Next six weeks, steady dose of lies from the Obama campaign.
Jim in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Great to have you, sir, on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
Earlier on, you talked about or emphasized the commitment that the leftists have to changing the basic tenets on which our society is based and that they never give up.
That's right.
He's coming back for more and more.
Right, right, right.
I recognized that in 1941 when I was 15 years old.
I looked at what was happening with FDR and the New Deal and decided that was socialism and fundamentally in conflict with what our country's all about.
Yeah, but look, we've got aspects of the New Deal just continued to grow and expand, and they spawn children.
Well, if I was upset in 41, how do you think I feel today?
In any event, I vowed never to vote for a Democrat, and I've been true to that vow all these years.
That's right.
You know, for every one of you that are angry out there, remember somebody's lived through this garbage longer than you have.
And look at, you can still laugh about it.
Well, but you're still a soldier in the fight.
You bet.
But there's one thing I see that gives me some faith in the human or the American citizens.
One of the things that Roosevelt did was get the Wagner Act passed, which empowered industrial unions to extort from American industry.
Right.
And that was in 1935.
20 years later, 1955.
That was just six years after FDR was on TV explaining the Depression.
Yeah, I know.
So in any event, since 1955, the percentage of the American business workforce that has been unionized has gone down every year.
It's like, what, 11, 12% now?
You're right.
It used to be 33, 36%, and it had a steady plunge.
That's right.
So that gives me faith that these people in the lower, well, not lower, in the more menial jobs who are asked to join a union recognize that they're asking to break faith with the basics of our country.
Well, well, look, I don't want to depress you.
I don't want to even make you unhappy here, but that 8%, 10%, whatever it is, unionized, that's not counting government workers.
Oh, I know that.
And the government's a large, state, city, local, dog catchers and all that.
Largest employer in the country is government.
I know that.
And they're all union workers, and they work together to sabotage Republican government workers and appointees and so forth.
But they're all unionized.
They're almost as bad as all those liberal bureaucrats who have been in position for years who are still working to sabotage our country every day.
Yeah, now, they don't think of it as sabotage.
They think it is a reform.
Oh, I know.
They want to reform.
Try the Soviet central planning system just one more time with the right people running it in their minds.
Look, I got to run here.
Jeb, it's great.
Thanks so much.
That was fabulous.
He was 15 years old in 1941 when FDR brought socialism into the New Deal.
How do we think he feels now after all this time?
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, Joe Biden, make a prediction.
He'll talk about tax cuts, tax increases, and patriotism.
He said when Christopher Columbus got off the airplane of 1492, he knew that they needed tax increases down there in the Caribbean.
All right.
McCain has just said he's suspending his campaign to focus on the bailout when yesterday he said he didn't need to do that.
And he's asked Obama to delay the debate Friday night until after the bailout crisis is fixed.
