Time Text
You know, it's even worse for the kids out there than I knew, ladies and gentlemen.
Greetings, and this is live from the office of America's anchor man, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence at Broadcasting Network.
Great to have you here.
Our telephone number, 800-282-2882, and the email address, lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
This is from A.P. Obama in Atlanta.
State law meant to keep teenagers out of indoor tanning booths have not made a dent.
This, according to a new study, disappointing doctors hoping to reduce deadly skin cancers.
The researchers say it's not clear why the laws failed, but pointed to lax enforcement as a factor.
This is a sitcom.
Why does any law fail?
Because people ignore it, because it isn't in force, because this one's stupid.
Protect the kids from keep them out of tanning booths.
Hello, parents.
It's so tough out there for our kids.
We're doing everything we can to protect them from each other and from themselves, and they still stupidly go ahead and act like kids.
I don't know what we're going to do about it.
Yeah, you could tax tanning beds.
I don't know.
Taxing everything else.
I have an idea.
And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, in case you missed it, I announced the official policy here for all of us when it comes to union workers and so forth.
We support the workers.
We do not support the unions.
We are all for the workers and the great sacrifices and contributions they make, but we are not for the unions.
As such, I myself am getting a little fed up here with all this talk.
Now, Chris Dodd saying the General Motors CEO should resign, Rick Wagoner.
Who the hell is Chris Dodd?
He ought to be under investigation for the Fannie Mae Freddie Mac subprime crisis and for his taking money and sweetheart deals from a guy his committee oversaw, Angelo Morello of Countrywide.
Out again, there are no ethics violations possible when you are a Democrat, because your intentions are always so honorable.
But nevertheless, we're hearing all of the blame being showered on the automobile CEOs, but guess who's getting a free rod, so to speak?
And that is the head honcho of the United Auto Workers, Mr. Gettelfinger.
Shouldn't somebody suggest he resign?
Maybe we've got some Republicans in the Senate.
Maybe we have some Republicans in the House of Representatives who say, well, you know what?
The auto industry has been gummed up a little bit by the unions.
Maybe Mr. Gettelfinger ought to quit, too.
He's got nothing to hang his hat on here.
The whole industry seems to be in a big quagmire problem.
Yeah, the CEOs ought to go, but Mr. Gettelfinger ought to be right behind them.
We support the workers, but not the unions.
I have an idea.
We're into solutions here at the EIB network.
Instead of $15 billion or $18 billion, whatever they're thinking about doing here for the auto industry, why not let the free market just give it a partial chance?
Because Congress can do anything, right?
They can run this business.
They can run that business.
They can administer that service.
I mean, they're the experts, are they not?
We're investing in Congress' final authority to do everything right.
Are we not?
So my idea, ladies and gentlemen, is Congress should put in an order to buy a million or a million and a half cars.
Cost $15 billion, $18,000, whatever number of cars you could buy for $15 to $18 billion.
Buy the cars.
That's what needs to happen here, is it not?
We need to sell American cars.
So Congress should go in and buy the cars and then let Congress figure out how to sell them.
They know how to get reelected.
They know how to raise campaign cash.
They know how to get and spend earmarks.
They know how to get away with destroying certain businesses.
Let them show us how to save one.
Go in, buy the cars, and then sell them.
That's hard work.
Selling cars is hard work.
We need the best and brightest for this.
Obviously, the dealership system isn't working.
Obviously, the way General Motors is doing it isn't working.
We need somebody to buy cars.
Congress has the money.
They're appropriating it right now.
Supposedly going to get a deal here, $15 billion.
Go out and buy cars.
Maybe Obama could move these cars on the internet to his fundraisers.
Maybe he could award a car to every one of his fundraisers who donates a certain amount of money to pay off Hillary Clinton's debt so you can go in the State Department without any conflicts.
I have an idea.
I have a better idea.
Better idea.
Here's how Congress can sell $15 billion worth of cars.
And that is put Obama's logo or his likeness on all four hubcaps or wheel covers so that wherever you go in America, these cars purchased by your bailout money, every one of them would have an Obama likeness on the hubcap or the wheel cover or somewhere.
Maybe make it the hood ornament.
You think those cars wouldn't sell fast?
Yeah, I mean, you'd have, you've got even a built-in advertising slogan.
See America the Obama way.
See the USA the Obama way.
Just bring back an old Chevrolet jingle.
See the USA in a Chevrolet updated.
See the USA, the Obama way.
So let's review.
We get Gettelfinger to resign along with the executives because he's had as big a role in screwing all this up as anybody else has because he's part of the union.
We support the workers, but not the union.
Congress, rather than give these guys $15 billion, buys $15 billion worth of cars, trucks, SUV.
In fact, go out and buy the electric cars.
Go out and go and buy the whatever they're making out there.
The hybrids make the cars, buy the cars that you tell us we ought to be driving, and then go sell them.
Congress sells the cars because that's the really hard part here.
That's what really needs to happen.
Congress sells the cars.
Any problem selling the cars offer an incentive.
Obama could offer a free car.
We're not talking trade-in.
No, no, we're not talking about, well, you might want to trade in.
Congress will handle the details of the trade-in.
Give a flat amount for your car, regardless how old, worn out, or new it is.
Forget the details, certainly.
Tom Dashell has shown us the way.
No details here.
There will be no details.
We're just going to do it.
Congress is going to buy $15 billion worth of cars.
Congress is going to sell them.
If you have a trade-in, trade it in.
Take whatever they give you.
Buy the new car.
We'll equip it with Obama wheel covers or hubcaps so you can see the USA, the Obama way.
Obama could even buy some of the cars himself to offer his incentives to fundraisers and donors who help retire Hillary Clinton's campaign debt so she can go into the State Department unconflicted.
No details, just do it.
You can bail them out or buy them.
And what they need to do is sell cars.
Now get this.
Another reason that Gettelfinger needs to go.
This is a story.
Where's this story?
This is from the Los Angeles Times, and it is from December the 6th.
And oh, I should tell you, you know, there's a story in the stack here because I think this guy comes, this writer comes from a low-income family.
Now, you might be asking, why would I say anybody comes from a low-income family?
Because there's research out there.
Have I found it?
There's research out there that the yeah, but I've got it in a different stack too, and I've got it in color here in this stagnant.
I'm looking for it here.
The details of this are.
Ah, ah, here we go.
Found it.
New research from the University of California at Berkeley shows that the brains of high-income children function differently compared to the brains of low-income children.
The study of normal nine- and 10-year-olds who differed only in socioeconomic status showed detectable differences in their prefrontal cortex.
That is the front part of the brain responsible for so-called executive functions like personality, decision-making, and social behavior.
Half of the children were from families with low incomes, mean household income of $27,192, and half from families with high incomes, a mean income of $96,000.
For each child, the researchers measured brain activity while he or she was engaged in a simple task, watching a sequence of triangles projected on a screen.
The subjects were instructed to click a button when a slightly skewed triangle flashed on the screen.
In some cases, children from low socioeconomic environments showed a lower response to the unexpected Novell stimuli in the prefrontal cortex that was similar to the response of people who've had a portion of their frontal lobe destroyed by a stroke.
What does all this mean?
It means that children who grow up in the highly privileged households don't just have money advantages, they also develop brain advantages.
The differences may become apparent in problem-solving and in scruple performance.
This is in the Wall Street Journal.
It is in a blog, and it's called This Is Your Child's Brain on Wealth.
Now, there are people in the drive-bys who are trying to say that this is a wage gap issue, and it's very unfortunate.
And of course, it's not a wage gap issue at all.
It has nothing to do with that.
Now, the reason I mentioned that story is because this guy, Jonathan Cutler, who is an associate professor of sociology at Wesleyan University, has a piece.
He's got a book also, Labor's Time, Shorter Hours, The UAW and the Struggle for American Unionism.
I'm convinced this guy grew up poor.
I'm convinced he's got a very underdeveloped frontal cortex.
You want to hear his idea to fix the problems?
He said the big three's real union problem is, is this.
If there's a hope long term for the unionized big three companies and for the UAW, it rests in dealing with the unfinished business of the 1980s, unionizing the unorganized transplants.
Jonathan Cutler.
See, only an idiot could look at this mess and conclude that the problem is that we need to unionize the companies who are making money.
We have an auto business in the South that apparently is thriving.
They are able to sell their cars for $2,000 on average less than the big three because their workers are not unionized.
Their workers have health care.
Their workers have all these things.
They're just not unionized.
They're not paying a bunch of people to no longer work for them.
They're not paying lifetime pension and health care benefits for people that no longer work for them.
As such, they can make cars that people apparently want and sell them for $2,000 less.
And this brainiac from the University of Wesleyan University, associate professor of sociology, says the solution is to sick the unions on the southern automobile industry so that their prices of their cars have to go up to equal the price coming out of Detroit and the big three.
This is an illustration of a point that I have always made.
Liberals see inequality and inequity.
And rather than raise people at the bottom, they want to punish people at the top and make everybody miserable.
The only way we can be equal, folks, is if everybody's miserable.
Nobody, have you noticed Obama's not promising prosperity anymore?
No, it's going to get worse.
All during the campaign, his election was going to make things all better.
Now it's going to get worse.
Brief time out.
We'll continue.
Stay with us.
Hi, how are you?
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Here's Larry in Atlanta as we go back to the phones.
Great to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
It's great to talk to you.
Mega Dittos.
I just wanted to, I heard you say something about Shambliss earlier, and the reason Shambliss had such a decisive victory here in Georgia, I think, is because Obama's voters didn't come back out for the runoff.
And I hope that Shambliss hasn't deceived himself as the chairman of the Republican National Committee said that Republicans down in Georgia have learned how to win elections because nothing could be further from the truth.
I would prefer right now that Shambliss, after his stunt in August, which brought him to your show right after he joined up with the Democrats and taken away the only issue the Republicans had to that point, which was the oil issue.
If I had my way, Shambliss would resign right now while we have a Republican governor so he could appoint a real conservative to finish out his term.
Well, what do you think the odds of that happening are?
Zero.
He likes the club that he's in, and he's not going to give it up.
Okay, so you need to rechannel your energy because that's not going to happen.
You don't want to go through the Christmas holidays disappointed.
Oh, no, I won't be.
If something that you want to happen isn't going to happen.
One thing Shambliss said after the election was, we've got to return to the roots of Ronald Reagan.
He did say that.
I think, see, here's the thing.
These guys all know.
It's just a couple obstacles in their way.
And you say the Obama people didn't show up.
Fine.
You know, you win elections, you lose them.
He didn't get his people out.
Obama did not want to go down there and run the risk that they wouldn't show up even if he did go down there.
Obama's smart enough to know that people's emotional reservoirs where he is concerned is over.
Once Obama was elected, that was it.
The only place where this, well, not the only, but I mean, the unforgiving, he can't do anything wrong.
Barack Obama as Messiah now almost always exclusively exists in the media.
Well, even if Obama's voters had showed up on runoff day, I think Shan still would have won because it was just so close on the general election.
Yeah, it's exactly right.
And by the way, Obama, if he couldn't throw himself at him, he threw the best he had.
He threw Ludacris out there.
He threw P. Diddy.
He found every rapper he could find to get behind this Martin Joker.
And it still didn't work.
It's that race, the Gow race in New Orleans that got rid of Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana.
This whole election need not have happened the way it did.
Now, I'm not crying spilt.
Well, I am crying spilt milk, but I know we can't go back and change it.
But it was not irrevocably in the cards that Obama was going to win.
Had the Republicans have we, well, been through this time and time again.
Well, you know, something that need not have happened, and everybody looks at it here as a fait accompli.
This next call's the reason why that I'm going for.
This need not have happened.
Here's Jose in Miami.
Nice to have you, Jose.
Welcome to EIB Network.
I Rosh, hallelujah.
Finally got through to you.
Truly excellence in broadcasting.
Let me begin by saying, Mr. Snuggly, a true professional, a gentleman, you guy, well, you wouldn't find yourself with nothing less.
Thank God for you, people like you that inform and entertain us.
I come from Cuba.
I lost a country I was born in 50 years ago without elections.
You know how it goes.
I see things going the same way over here right now.
And I have a bunch of ideas.
I think we as should group together, do grassroots, and try to get people like yourself influential and to gather up the rest of the people and do some things.
I'm not going to take much time from you, just that.
I'd like to discuss some of the ideas with you, see how viable they are, because we really got to do something and do them now.
Well, I know what your question is.
Even though you haven't asked it yet, I know what your question is because I know where you're headed here.
I have several.
You want to know how do we stop all this insanity that has become this daily sitcom we're all living in, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
Not only the bailout, but also all these politicians, Chris Donald, they should be, like you said, investigators.
I know, I know.
How do we stop that?
How do we stop parents from raising their kids to be nothing but a bunch of soak-em-up sponges?
Gee, I am tempted to be so honest.
Folks, we're not going to be able to stop it for a while.
Elections have consequences.
We're going to get an Obama public works program.
We're going to get a lot of this stuff.
We're going to get a bailout of the auto companies.
We're going to get Chris Dodd and Barney Frank being superstars for a while.
We're going to get it.
This is what happens.
Fact, Bill Crystal, noted conservative thinker, in his New York Times column today says, you know, we all ought to just come together and support this public works project as something worthwhile that government is doing because it's going to happen.
Opposing it is silly.
So there is a body of conservative thought that says big government for the right purposes is something we should join hands with Obama on.
Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize.
We stuck in our commercial break a little longer than normal by design.
It was ordered by me.
I'm having a real problem today with Mr. Snerdley.
Ever since I got here this morning, Snerdley has not stopped talking about Tony Romo and Jason Witten and the Cowboys.
And since I'm a Steelers fan, he's just beside himself because he now realizes that Cowboys may not make the playoffs at all and has just got him discombobulated.
He's a relatively new fan.
He's been a fan of Cowboys a long time, but just in the past couple of years, has he been a daily devotee of Cowboys News.
Yeah, I know, I know, Snerdley.
The thing you've got to realize here is that over the long haul, there will be exceptions.
They're just certain realities in the National Football League you have to face.
And one of them is, excuse me, the Dallas Cowboys will not beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.
There will be the occasional, like the Super Bowl in 1995, Super Bowl 30.
There will be occasionally one of those, but it just isn't going to happen.
The Dallas Cowboys will not beat the Steelers.
And if you'd have realized this going in, you would have expected yesterday's collapse.
Anyway, we're back, ladies and gentlemen.
Great to have you here.
Let's go to the audio soundbites.
We have a lot of great ones here today.
The drive-bys cannot wait for Obama to be inaugurated.
They've got to do something.
The weight is killing them.
What people are beginning to say is that this president-elect should be president now.
People voted for change in this strange, odd 77-day waiting period that we've imposed, in effect, between our election and our inauguration.
The president is a lame duck and is impotent.
Then you want the new guy to take over.
Thank heaven we now swear them in new president in January.
I'd be in favor of moving it up to December 1st.
The flow of news has so speeded up that from now to January 20th is still a lifetime.
We got to change the Constitution to make the president take over December 1st.
It's just incredible, folks.
They just, they just, they can't stand it.
There's one little problem, and let me give you the names of the people in this montage because I want to address them directly.
They were Gwen Eiffel, Peter Baker, who is from the New York Times, said the 77-day waiting period that we impose, people voted for change, this strange 77-day waiting period.
It's only the Constitution.
The Constitution is nothing but a bunch of suggestions anymore.
The way that the left have been looking at the Ten Commandments for about 150 years.
David Wessel is from the Wall Street Journal.
Dan Rather is from HDNet.
Howard Feynman, MSNBC and Newsweek, and Chris Matthews from everywhere.
I want to address all of you who want Obama inaugurated tomorrow.
The biggest obstacle you've got to this is Obama.
Obama does not want to be inaugurated now.
A story in the Wall Street Journal.
I think, ladies and gentlemen, I, El Rushbo, am the only one who has been on top of this.
The basic, the point of the story, it's Obama preserves political capital for stimulus plan.
Barack Obama wants the economy to suffer even more.
He wants the economy.
He wants your perception that the economy is suffering for as long as possible.
Why?
For his own selfish political purposes.
He is not putting the country first here.
Barack Obama is helping to contribute to a negative perception of America by its citizens.
It's going to get worse, he said yesterday on Meet the Press.
We elected Obama to make it better.
It was supposed to be magically all better simply by electing him.
Nobody forgot to, somebody forgot to tell us here that the magic wouldn't happen until he was inaugurated.
I mean, now the Iranians are even upset with the Iranians are urging him to change his approach.
Mahmoud Ahmadinez does not like what he's doing.
The American left is all upset because there aren't any communist kook freaks in the cabinet.
For those of you on the left who are upset with Obama, because none of your people are in the cabinet, chill out, babe.
You're going to get so much of what you want.
Just shut up.
If you leftists would just slink away back to your sinkholes, let Obama work his magic.
You're going to get everything you want, or as much of what you want as is possible with a Democrat president and a Democrat Congress.
You're going to have our culture blown up.
You're going to get national health care.
You're going to get abortion on demand anywhere paid for by everybody else.
You're going to get doctor-assisted suicide all over the country.
You're going to get your culture a death.
You're going to get the military being pared down to the point it's not worth much.
You're going to get the military fighting in places like Darfur, in other words, not protecting U.S. national interests.
You're going to get another Kennedy in the Senate.
If you don't get a Kennedy, you're going to get a Cuomo.
If you don't get a Cuomo, you're going to get another Clinton.
You're going to have your leftist royalty in the Senate.
You people on the left need to shut up and stop embarrassing the Messiah.
He knows what he's doing.
He's putting all these figureheads out there, these centrists, to make everybody on our side, like the Bill Crystals of the world, think that we can meet up and meet him halfway and go unknow-dorily into the future.
The bottom line is that Barack Obama wants you to think things are bad and he wants you to think they're getting worse because he wants you in as state of crisis as much as possible.
The more you suffer, I tried to explain this during the campaign.
The more you suffer, the more your perception is that we're going to hell, the more you will be willing to let Obama and his magic fix everything, like taking over the auto industry and telling them how to run it and taking over health care.
Let me give some details here from the story by Jonathan Weissman and Deborah Solomon in the Wall Street Journal.
In last week's Democrat radio address, Obama read the text of the address in which he outlines five specific components of his plan.
He'd been stressing for weeks his desire to increase assistance to homeowners, a point that he reiterated Sunday, and then to reporters as he introduced his choice for Secretary of the VA, Eric Shinsecki.
For more than an hour on the conference call, the people familiar with the situation said that Treasury and Federal Reserve staff outlined the three main ideas under discussion, a modification of the proposal pushed by the FDIC, a plan to bring down interest rates, and a proposal championed by the Fed to buy distressed mortgages.
When they had finished outlining the proposals, Treasury staff asked the Obama aides for their impressions.
The Obama aides demurred.
They refused to endorse any of the ideas.
When asked what they would like to see or how they envisioned a foreclosure program working, they were non-committal, according to people familiar with the matter.
A person familiar with the call said the Obama aides were vague about their thoughts.
Obama aides said even before the call was convened, the administration had been warned that Mr. Obama saw the call as a chance for Treasury to brief the transition and that Obama aides were not there to offer their opinions or to express transition policy.
The aides on the call weren't of sufficient rank to have made the policy decisions that Treasury is demanding.
And so you see, ladies and gentlemen, Obama wants nothing to do with whatever proposals are hammered out now.
And frankly, neither do the Democrats in Congress.
They want to be able to hang as much of this on George Bush as they can, which means Chris Matthews and Dan Rather and Gwen Eiffel, sorry to disappoint you, but your president-elect does not want the job right now because he's not interested in fixing anything right now.
He's comfortable with it getting worse right now so that when he does take office in January, he'll have a smooth, clean, clear road in front of him to wave his magic wand and do whatever he wants.
And I think Chris and the rest of you better understand something.
He's stoking the fire of unrest.
He is turning up the heat on the notion of crisis.
It's going to get worse.
It's going to get worse.
It's going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.
In fact, let me stop quoting him.
Let me find it.
We have it here in the audio soundbites.
Stick with me here.
Oh, I knew I saw it.
I thought it was headlined.
We'll take a break and I'm going to find it when we come back.
Sit tight, folks.
The EIB network and El Rush will back after this.
I found that soundbite was right in front of me.
And I thought it was in the back of the stack, but it was in the front of the stack.
It's audio soundbite number 11.
This on Meet the Press yesterday, Barack Obama being interviewed by Meet the Press anchor emeritus Tom Brokaw.
And Brokaw said, on this program about a year ago, you said being president is 90% circumstances and about 10% agenda.
The circumstances now are, as you say, very unpopular in terms of the decisions that have to be made.
Which are the more unpopular ones the country is going to have to deal with?
Now, before I lay his answer, you have to understand something here.
This question from Brokaw as a media guy and as a leftist, this notion, remember during the Iraq War, they were obsessed with all of us sacrificing?
They're obsessed with pain.
They are obsessed with suffering.
They don't like for certain people to have to suffer, but they think others of us should.
It's their class envy.
It's called getting even with everybody.
So when he asked this question, what's the most unpopular decision that you're going to have to make that people are going to have to deal with?
He wants us to have to suffer.
Here's the answer.
As tough as times are right now, and things are going to get worse before they get better.
See?
There is a convergence between circumstances and agenda.
The key for us is making sure that we jumpstart that economy in a way that doesn't just deal with the short term, doesn't just create jobs immediately, but also puts us on a glide path for long-term sustainable economic growth.
There's only one way to do that, and it isn't his way.
Government doesn't do this.
It didn't happen in the Great Depression with FDR.
It did not.
All these make-work programs, infrastructure, all this jazz, it did not sustain or propel or even grow the economy.
I'll tell you why in just a second.
Here's more Obama, where he says the days of pork are over.
Now, this, folks, I'm going to be very careful here.
I don't want to call this an out-and-out lie.
But what the hell do you think this infrastructure spending is if it isn't pork?
It was Robert Byrd's ticket to re-election.
You can't drive through West Virginia without seeing something named for him, except a rest area.
They named the rest areas after the Republicans in that state.
You got the Robert Byrd Library, the Robert Byrd Library Reading Room, the Robert Byrd Freeway, the Robert Byrd exit ramp, the Robert Byrd, it's everywhere.
And that's how he re-elected himself.
Pure pork.
This is all Obama's talking about.
When I met with the governors, all of them have projects that are shovel ready.
And now we're going to have to prioritize it and do it not in the old traditional politics first way.
What we need to do is examine what are the projects where we're going to get the most bang for the buck.
How are we going to make sure taxpayers are protected?
The days of just pork coming out of Congress as a strategy, those days are over.
It's just not true.
This is pure pork.
It's 100% pork coming out of Washington now with this plan of his.
But he needs to listen to his own advisor there, Tom Dasho.
He's getting way too much into detail here.
Just do the plan, Barry.
The hell with the details.
Dash will say the only way we're going to get health care is avoid the details.
Just do it.
Worry about it later on.
Come up with a principle and do it.
Okay, what's the principle of national health care?
Socialized medicine.
Okay, right.
We now have socialized medicine in America.
Put it up for a vote.
It'll win in the House.
It'll win in the Senate.
Obama will sign it.
They go about doing it.
That's what Daschell's recommending.
Same thing here.
Screw all these details, Barry, babe.
Screw all this stuff about protecting the taxpayers.
We, the government, own all the bridges.
We, the government, will pay for all the bridges.
We, the government, will do this.
Just call it the new Constitution.
Call it Constitution 2.
Call it Obama's Constitution.
Sign it into law.
Forget the details.
Bob Beckle, by the way.
Excuse me.
Bob Beckle was on Fox News channel this morning, and the co-host Bill Hammer said, look, Obama's talking about highways, roads, basic infrastructure, also talking about government buildings, making them greener, more energy efficient, better broadband system for the internet.
Is this what we need, Bob?
The New Deal, first of all, there's an argument about whether it worked.
A lot of it did work.
But a lot of it was make-work projects.
That's what it was, try to get people back employed.
But in this case, the infrastructure needs we've got in this country and upgrading schools and doing the kinds of internet outreach that we need are all things that are going to have to be done eventually anyway.
I thought Al Gore wired all the schools to the internet.
I thought that was done.
I thought he and Clinton personally ran the wires.
I got up there in the crevices and the catwalks and the crawl space.
I thought they already did that.
Or rewire them with fiber.
That's right, because we rewired them with COACS.
That's a coax gone out of business now.
Well, for our purposes.
You know, I really hate to see people get sucked in.
What Obama is telling us, folks, is he's going to take our money and he's going to spend it like any good SHICOM.
He marvels at the SHICOMs.
He looks at the SHICOM Olympics and he marvels, look at all the infrastructure, infrastructure they did.
Look at all their great stuff.
Fancy way of saying Democrats are going to be getting their names on all these projects.
Bunch of plaques, boatload of new bridges, roads, and buildings.
This is ego spending.
Remember, as I told, and I must say, folks, my own inimitable style, this is quite brilliant and quite perceptive.
Barack Obama is fixing something, but not what you think.
There is a repair project underway, but it's not the U.S. economy, and it's not the country at large.
What Obama's fixing is a Democrat Party that was broken by Ronald Reagan, a little bit by Nixon, and a little bit by the Republicans taking over the House in 1994.
FDR's interminable, unending rule of the Democrat Party was interrupted.
It was shattered.
Democrats had the House for 40 years before 94.
So all this stuff is just FDR 2, New Deal 2, in an attempt to repair the Democrat Party so that it once again is restored to its rightful position of power by birthright for as far as the eye can see.
I listened to Obama's infrastructure program looking like he admires the Chikoms.
I'm convinced he's not governing from the center.
He's governing from the Far East.
One hour to go, folks.
