Time Text
Hey, greetings, welcome.
Welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh program here on the Excellence in Broadcasting.
Now I'm just watching, I'm just watching the drive-by's have a cow here over Obama choosing Rick Warren to give the invocation at the inauguration.
They can't get over this.
What they don't seem to understand is that Obama and Rick Warren have identical positions.
On the subject that's got Militant Gays all upset, and that being gay marriage, greetings, welcome back.
As always, Rush Limbaugh and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
We're here at 800-282-2882.
If you want to call the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Um check the email during the uh top of the hour break, and um I can understand this too.
A lot of people are sending me questions.
Rush, why are you talking about all this stuff?
I mean, uh, you know, there's nothing, I mean, you're not offering any solutions.
Just say Schwarzenegger going to bankrupt California already has uh talking about Obama and his uh his upcoming left.
Why why my friends, I'm talking about this, and it's a good question.
I'm talking about this because I'm convinced that a a clear and perhaps even a vast majority of Obama voters have no clue what's headed their way.
I'm I'm not whining here.
I'm not complaining.
I'm just passing on information.
I mean, most of you in this audience are fully aware of what is uh of what is headed our way, and you're fully aware of the incomparable corruption that exists from the top to the bottom of the Democrat Party, either in Chicago or in Illinois and Washington, or what have you.
I I'm just I'm convinced that a whole lot of people who voted for Obama have no clue about any of this.
And so, as always, we simply do the job the drive-by's used to do.
We report the news, tell you what's happening out there.
In 2007, remember we got this great, we got it, we get the education secretary was uh named yesterday, Arnie Duncan, ran the Chicago public school system.
And everybody said, Oh, well, great.
What fabulous appointment.
Arnie Duncan ran the Chicago public schools.
Well, I hope he can do for America what he did for Illinois in Chicago.
Well, only 17% of eighth graders, for one example here, can read at that level in Chicago schools, overseen by Arnie Duncan, the Obama Education Secretary designee.
In 2007, only 17% of eighth graders tested at or above grade level in reading in Chicago public schools.
The system that was administered by Arnie Duncan since 2001.
Students in eighth grade are those most likely to have been in the Chicago system for a majority of Duncan's tenure.
Cybercast News Service used the scores of these students to best determine the results of Duncan's administration.
In math, the uh Chicago public schools' average score increased from 254 in 2003 to 260 in 2007.
However, the national average in 2007 was 280.
75% of Chicago students scored below 283 in the um the math assessment.
Now, nationally, Chicago is the third largest school district with over 408,000 students.
Its budget for 2007 and 2008 was 4.6 billion dollars.
862 million of that was supplied by the federal government.
And so for this money, Chicago is lagging way behind with 17% of eighth graders can read at that level.
From the Investors Business Daily, and I called this one, I called this one yesterday.
Barack Obama's choice for education secretary tried to run Chicago schools like a business.
And as with most monopolies without competition, the result was an inferior product at high cost.
Duncan's efforts have largely amounted to pouring new wine into old bottles with little to show for them.
In other words, Counterfeit.
And here's a quote from the IBD editorial.
Duncan also had ties to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge founded and financed through the efforts of ex-weather underground terrorist William Ayers.
William Ayers saw the Chicago Annenberg Challenge as a chance to radicalize Chicago public school teachers and students.
And I mentioned yesterday that the guy that's really going to be calling the shots on education for Obama will be William Ayers.
And that's why I keep telling you leftists to calm down.
You know, all of these cabinet appointments are just for show.
The real work will be done behind the scenes by people that you'll never hear about, that won't have to go through extensive confirmation hearings or any of that.
Chicago Sun Times is reporting that Ram Emanuel had a deeper involvement in pressing for a U.S. Senate seat appointment than previously reported.
Ram Emanuel had direct discussions about Obama's Senate seat with Governor Globoyovich Blagoevich, who was accused of trying to auction it to the highest bidder.
The uh Emmanuel talked with the governor in the days following the November 4th election and pressed early on for the appointment of Valerie Jarrett to the post, according to sources with knowledge of the conversations who talked to the Chicago Fun Times.
There was no indication from sources that Emmanuel brokered a deal, though.
A source with the Obama camp strongly denied Emmanuel spoke with the governor directly about the seat, saying Emmanuel only spoke with Blogo once recently to say he was taking the chief of staff post.
Now, some of the conversations between Emmanuel and Lugoevich were likely caught on tape, and at some point, depending on what happens, we'll learn the uh the truth about this.
Now, here again, we have conflicting information all over the place about this, and I Newt Gingrich is the latest Republican, and there have been quite a few who have advised other Republicans to back off on this.
That there's there's no reason to um be critical here of Obama.
Obama had nothing to do with this.
Well, Republicans are the Republican National Committee shouldn't be running these ads.
It's just it's just a mistake here to focus on what might have happened.
Now, I think this is an example here of the Republicans continuing to make a mistake in thinking that if they appear in a way that they consider reasonable, that somehow it's going to result in people voting more for Republicans down the line than Democrats.
Which is disheartening because it means a continuation of the same flawed thinking that we carried into the election.
See, my friend, I am convinced that this is a center-right country.
I'm convinced that the majority of people in this country did not vote for the Republican candidate because the Republican candidate was not a right winger.
The Republican candidate was not a conservative.
They couldn't bear to vote for Obama, but they also couldn't bear to vote for McCain.
They could not do that to themselves.
They couldn't compromise their principles in that way.
So these election returns have created the impression that the country's moved way to the left, almost irretrievably so.
And apparently a lot of Republicans think then the only way to get back in power is to move a little bit to the left, not as far left as the Democrats have gone, and compete essentially on the liberal side of the field.
And it's a mistake.
It is a huge mistake.
And I, but I'm not worried because Colin Powell has told the Republican Party not to listen to me anymore.
They are not listening to me, period.
But this notion that we can't criticize Obama, or we can't raise questions about some of this stuff, is like saying we ought to leave Barney Frank alone and Chris Dodd alone and everybody associated with the Fannie Mae debacle and the subprime mortgage debacle, and we need to leave everybody in the Democrat Party who has anything to do with any of this corruption, leave them alone because it's just it's unbecoming and people don't want to hear it right now.
And that's a mistake.
People need to know what's ahead of them.
And the if if we want to continue this Illusion that you have a cesspool in Chicago, Illinois, and out of this cesspool came Barack Obama.
But none of the cess in the pool happen to stick to him.
If that's if that's what we want to present, and I know there's one school of thought out there.
I have heard this expressed.
I forget who said this.
Some Republicanslash conservative thinker.
Back off.
Back off right now.
It's wasted to do this right now.
At some point, all this is going to come home to roost.
And if the Republicans just hold their fire and appear reasonable here, and appear to be giving Obama a fair shot, we almost come together as a peoples.
And we almost come together as Americans for hope and change.
We have an economic crisis.
We have a recession, perhaps a depression.
We have home subprime mortgages and foreclosures.
We have the automobile bailout.
We have Bernie Madoff.
We have essentially huge big problems.
We need to appear to be working together with the president's elect so as to convince the American people that we are not partisan.
And that we are not small-minded, and we're not just picking fights to pick fights.
Instead, we need to back off so that when all of these mistakes that Obama is going to make begin to pile up, that we will have a baseline of credibility and previously voiced support for Obama from which to launch our criticism, which will then give the criticism more credibility.
So the theory is that our criticism will only have credibility if we appear for weeks and perhaps months to love Obama, to support Obama, to want Obama to succeed, because for Obama to succeed, the country will succeed, and we want the country to succeed.
Because if if if we if we do, then our then our criticism down the line will have much more credibility because we will have shown that we really hoped for this to work out.
We really wanted Obama to change America for the better forever.
But alas it didn't happen, and we are so sorry to have to say this now, but maybe he's making some mistakes.
That's the theory.
That is, the theory behind this is that with the great unwashed, you know, with the so-called 20% of independents and moderates that we think we need to win elections, that we must appear...
And remember, there's polling data.
The liberals and the drive-by media have run polls, all these exit polls, and they have said that the reason McCain lost was because he turned negative on Obama.
Now I nuked this during the campaign.
Because the it's a silly notion.
Here's the proposition they put before us.
You have these 20% or so moderate independents who hate partisanship.
They literally despise it.
And as long as Senator McCain was running a friendly and respectful and honorable campaign, they were willing to listen to what he had to say and perhaps give him their vote.
But the moment, this is the theory, and this is what our people are told, and they stupidly believe it, the moment that our candidate appears to be critical of Obama, just critical, not even an attack mode, just critical.
Why, that's it.
That's it.
The moderates, they're out of there, they knew it.
It was too good to be true to Republicans, just can't help it.
They just become these mean-spirited partisans and they run for the Democrat Party, which is the most egregious, outraged, partisan, angry, deranged bunch of people in American politics in my lifetime.
So we're told that moderates look at Democrats as clean and pure as the window of a snow.
They're net partisan whatsoever.
They don't like partisanship.
And that is killing us because we're believing in this rot gut.
It is partisanship, standing on principles and ideas that have long proven to work, that people want to respond to and will respond to.
When you're afraid to stand up for what you yourself believe in, why should anybody else believe in you?
And our side's afraid to stand up for what it believes in because they think it's going to offend people.
And so that leads us, we can't criticize Obama.
We can't criticize the education secretary of choice, we can't criticize because we want this to work.
We want the country to improve and change and get better.
We want Obama To really bring about this change and hope that he promised.
Yet many of us, we sit here and we cringe at that because we know who Obama is, and we know what his ideas are, and we know where it's going to lead the country.
And somebody got to stand up and say, hey, folks, maybe we can't stop it, but this is what's headed your way, and you should be prepared for it, which is why I spend some time here talking to you about those very things.
And with examples of how the culture is deteriorating.
With examples of how people are just.
When you get stories that say a school has discovered that one of the great ways to keep order is rules.
I'm sorry, I do not feel like celebrating that.
I do not think, wow, somebody's come over the great.
When I see stories that say parents are in dilemma over whether to tell their kids the truth about the economy this Christmas, or whether you just go spend crazily go further in debt just to shield the kids from the pain.
I'm just incredulous.
I'm a credulous.
This does not bode well for the future.
We got a whole political party that's trying to foster this kind of thinking.
Anyway, folks, a brief timeout.
Gotta take it.
We'll come back, continue right after this.
Don't go away.
Don't go away.
Petal Mannheim Steamroller here as the Christmas season continues.
It's kind of cool getting into New York after Washington at the White House Christmas party.
We got out of New York.
About uh what was it?
11 o'clock, 10:30, something, 10:30, and it was snowing.
It was uh it was Christmas time.
I didn't mind it.
I knew I was gonna be in it for about 10 seconds.
And it was uh it was it was snowing, and it was just it was cool.
Took a couple pictures of the airplane in the snow, because you never know when the last time the next time that's gonna happen.
And then we walked inside, got in the car and sped into Manhattan and looked out the windows when I got there, little snowflakes flittering down, Manheim steamroller in the head and so forth at Christmas time.
Kind of dig it.
Now we were I was talking with Snerdly mere moments ago, ladies and gentlemen, because we saw a story about the Clinton Foundation.
This is such a scam.
This that's why I said earlier, Boyevitch is such a piker.
Here he is working with people like Jesse Jackson Jr., whoever else, you know, wanting half million dollars or a million dollars, uh, maybe a couple of uh little little uh think tank jobs for himself or corporate jobs for him and his wife.
He didn't get the money.
The little small timer blew it.
He's a Piker, the Clinton Foundation.
Five hundred million dollars.
Largest contributors, Saudi Arabia, and we're discussing with Snerdly how many of the donors have been scrubbed on this list.
How many people did they scrub and allow to be scrubbed?
And so we're all thinking, well, why would Hillary take this Secretary of State gig?
Because remember, when the Clintons were raising all this money for the foundation, everybody in the world thought she was gonna be the next president.
So they were buying whatever they wanted from the next Clinton administration early.
That's what this is all about.
And then all of a sudden things blow up and Barry wins.
Barry could have frozen them out.
Barry could have ended them.
Barry could have buried him, but instead, Barry puts her at sex state, where all these people who donated to Slick Willie's foundation will now be working with her.
And Blagoevich has got to be sitting there looking at this and saying they're coming after me.
I haven't even sold anything yet.
Look what's happened here with the Clintons and and Barry.
And then this.
Folks, this is just classic.
This is from uh from AP Obama.
No byline, by the way, because they're on a st a byline strike there at AP.
The future of security contractor Blackwater worldwide just got a little more politically sensitive.
Newly released records show the largest security contractor in Iraq donated between 10,000 and 25,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
Now, assuming that Hillary Rodham Clinton is confirmed as Secretary of State, she will have final say on whether Blackwater will keep its contract despite a deadly shooting last year.
As Secretary of State, she determines whether Blackwater keeps their Fed security contract.
And they've given fifteen to twenty-five grand to the Clinton Foundation library and massage parlor.
Fascinating stuff, is it not, ladies and gentlemen?
Thank you for being patient.
Those of you waiting on the phones to appear here.
It is time now to uh reward your patience.
We have Faith from Parts Unknown in Michigan.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Thank you for taking my call.
Yes, ma'am.
Rush, I'm a new listener.
And uh dare I say I'm a devout listener.
How long have you been listening to the program, Faith?
Uh probably about a year, I would say.
Well, welcome here.
It's great to have how did you discover this program?
Eating lunch at White Castle.
Yeah, we own White Castle.
Good, good, good.
Well, I'm glad that you hung in there once you heard the program.
You probably had heard a lot of uh very uh critical things of this program before finding yourself in that White Castle that day.
You know what, Rush, I I was a Democrat in the past, and now I'm a staunch Republican and I listen to you devo I mean just devotedly, and I I'll tell you I agree with just about everything you say except one thing.
What's that?
Uh you know, the part about the union.
And you had a very eloquent lady call one day uh talking about her husband, a lower level manager and engineer.
Well, my husband is a production worker for General Motors.
And uh I'll tell you my husband is very committed and he's a hard worker, which a lot of the production workers are.
And both of us have worked for well he hasn't, I have, where you have unions and you don't have unions.
And I'll tell you, uh at the lower level, the trenches like where we are, we need people to protect us.
And like my husband will tell you how disrespectful some of those like lower level managers can be.
And um I don't know, you probably have something to say about that.
Well, look, I think you you you I appreciate your being a devoted listener.
I th I I I'm glad you called because I need to avail myself of uh every opportunity I can to make the following point.
Yes.
That is, I am not opposed to union people.
I support the workers.
I don't support unions, and I don't support the union leaders, but I support anybody who's working, and I am all for anybody, everybody, earning as much as they can.
I want independence and liberty and prosperity for everybody.
And this is the place in the world to come do it, at least it is now, and has been for the longest time.
We all have bosses who are not fun to work for to one degree or another.
We've all I mean, this is common.
I myself uh have had some that were doofuses, and you have to put up with it.
And sometimes you don't put up with it and you get fired.
There's all kinds of personality types.
You've got arrogant abrasive, you got management that doesn't care, it doesn't notice what you're doing all there, and they've got insecure management.
Everybody thinks management's totally secure, that nothing ever rattles them, that they never ever get in trouble, and it's not true.
They're they got people looking at them too.
Uh, and they're all personality types all over the place.
Uh so I'm I I don't know what you heard me say uh about unions.
I the call that you heard, I remember we had the that woman called and her husband was non-union.
Her husband was non-union, and she was talking about how he had to go in Easter Sunday one time.
You know, Rush, there's plenty of times my husband being a production worker, the attitude amongst the engineers, like if the line breaks down, and my husband is very mechanical, and quite a number of those guys that work the lines, rush.
They know exactly what's happening with the machinery.
And my husband comes home so frustrated because of the attitude among a lot of the engineers is well, if you guys were intelligent, you'd be engineers.
So shut up and back on.
Look at uh you know, I don't I don't want to be insensitive here.
Yeah.
I'm I really don't.
But I we've all faced that in our careers.
Do you know how many literal insane idiots I had to work for for my career?
Do you know how many people who have tried to tell me how to do what I do who have never done what I do?
I've had to go into coaching sessions.
I had I had to, I had to, in fact, there was I got fired in a place once that had no cause.
They just wanted to get rid of because I got stabbed in the back by by some other worker, another another guy at this radio station, and I was naive and didn't understand how the game was being played.
Yeah.
And I was also doing some controversial things on the radio, but I was not doing anything that I can be fired for with cause.
I was not a member of a union.
Uh so they didn't need cause, they just but they but they didn't want to pay a whole lot of money to get rid of me.
So, you know, they tried to make me quit.
And one of the things I had to do every afternoon was to go in for a one-hour review of my three-hour on-air presentation, and I had to listen as the program director who had never done what I'd done, told me I was using the word therefore too many times, and if I used it again in the first hour, because it confused the audience.
It was it it would cluttered the mind.
And the next time I used the word therefore, I was gonna be in big trouble.
It's like it's like telling somebody, don't think pink.
Don't think you're thinking pink.
But so uh uh and I went through there and I I knew what was going on, so I smiled and I said, You're right.
I agree with you.
The word therefore does clutter the minds.
I'm gonna do better, I'm gonna try not to use it.
And it got ridiculous.
This went on for two weeks, but I knew what they were doing, and I was not gonna quit, and I was not gonna let them force them out of there, and they ended up firing me and paying a you know, a severance package and so forth.
But we've all gone through this.
Uh union is not the answer to it.
You're you're gonna have people above you wherever you work.
Some of them are gonna just be mean, incompetent, insecure people, others are gonna be great.
And you know, we have choices in this country.
You can either accept a situation, try to make the most of it, and say, okay, I have to stay here, my family's here, I can't pack up and move in this club, who knows where I can find a job, or you can say, you know, I'm not putting I'm not gonna put up with this.
I'm not gonna be disrespected like this, and I've if I'm better than the people I work for, then I'm gonna go get a job where I can use all my talents.
It just it's an attitudinal thing.
If you're gonna sit around and accept the attitude that you're always going to be an employee and you're always gonna have a boss, and you're always gonna have to eat the excrement sandwich, or do you someday want to be a boss?
Do you someday want to be independent and free of that?
And we live in a country where people can make that choice each and every day.
But that's why I've always said that most of the limitations that people have are self-imposed.
Most of the limitations we have are not because somebody won't let us do something, it's because we don't want to do what it takes to do something else, or we we can't move uh, or we whatever.
But but most of the limitations that people place on themselves are self-imposed or have are self-imposed.
And so a union is not is not the solution to any of this.
Union's not not the correction, but I please don't misunderstand.
I have absolute total support for each and every employee in this country where they're unionized or not.
Because see, I want a successful country, defined in a lot of ways.
I want a moral country, and I want a prosperous country, and I want a country with all kinds of future for everybody who has yet to be conceived and born.
And this requires the people who are alive today also want the same things and have the ability, by virtue of how they live their lives and govern themselves to create the same set of circumstances we were all fortunate enough to be born into.
And this this is why cultural moral decay is a great, great, great concern.
It's not because there are some of us who disapprove personally, we won't won't.
It's because of the overall effect over time, long long after I'm dead, what's going to happen to this country with his moral rot with this silly notion that you you kids are so fragile that you can't tell them the truth about the economy, or that you have to drag them in and show them a propaganda movie by Al Gore and then bring their parents in and threaten the parents.
If you don't come watch it, your parent grade will suffer.
Well, now we got some of the silliest economic notions that uh the people of this country voted for.
And we just we sit around and we hope and pray that they overreach.
And I'm convinced they will.
I'm convinced the Obama people are gonna vastly overreach.
And that if if he if he if he puts this $850 billion stimulus package or billion dollar, trillion dollar, whatever it is, year and a half from now, folks, you're gonna see approval numbers for Barack Obama.
They're gonna stun you and him and everybody else.
And here come the midterms.
But what's gonna happen in 210 is gonna depend totally on whether or not the Republican Party has grown a set and has the audacity to actually present an alternative rather than watered down sameness.
So understand here, Faith.
I love you, and I understand garbage that your husband goes through.
I've gone through it and so has everybody else.
It's part and parcel of going to work every day in this country.
We've all had reprobates and idiots that we work for.
We've all also had great people that we end up working with.
If you're lucky, you end up great people you're working with and working for.
But you have to those people aren't gonna find you.
You have to be out there working and finding them.
So please don't misunderstand.
We support the workers.
I sub I I have respect, love, admiration for everybody in this country who gets up and goes to work every day.
I don't care where and what they're doing.
It's the people don't work, who have entitlements expectation who can but don't.
You know, that's that's a that's a whole different thing.
I have no sympathy for sob stories.
Because we've all had them.
If we all want we could all cry every day about something, we could all go through the day.
Welcome to life.
The more you get, the more you're able to get in control of your own life and your own future, the happier you're gonna be.
If you structure life, your life so that you're always waiting for the next explosion to hit.
If you're always waiting for the next creep to pop up, it's going to happen.
You can be a person of action or you can sit around and wait and hope.
And remember, hope, outside the biblical, don't get confused here.
Hope is simply an excuse for doing nothing.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Uh quick timeout here for a little housekeeping thing.
I've had a number of people who have not understood me about this, but Carbonite, the uh the the back up your hard drive.
Rush, rush, rush.
You didn't tell me they don't have a Mac version.
I have told you they don't have a Mac version.
Right now it's PC.
However, it's coming next early next year, January, I think, when I think I have seen it.
I have seen the beta.
The carbonite people came here and showed it to me.
And it's it's fascinating.
The first backup you do, if you back up everything, depending on the size of your hard drive and how much data, it could take a while, but so what?
It happens in the background, you never see it.
It and if it backs up all the time.
It's constantly backing up your computer offline.
You don't have once you set it up, it just happens.
And then when, it's not a question if when your hard drive blows up on you, all of your data is backed up and retrievable, and it's a lifesaver if this ever happens.
But the Mac version is coming.
So in fact, there's a beta out there that some people are still using or using now.
They're testing it, but it's it's coming.
And I'll tell you, it is a life sick.
Carbonite.com is the place to go check it out on the web.
And use offer code rush when you go there, by the way.
Uh this is Angelique in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi.
Well, Merry Christmas.
My father would say, if uh he knew I was talking to you on a telephone, I better make this good.
Um I'm agreeing in agreement with you on blogger situation, but um I do have to say that I'm quite doubtful, and I I don't buy it when Obama says he has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Um I think we're playing elementary school games here, kind of like Bobo told Barry, you know, if I gave you my fruit roll up, would you be my best friend?
He said, sure, and he took it, and now he's just got just kind of left sitting there.
So I think he's kind of gotten out of luck there somehow, and something might have been promised and didn't get it.
Okay, so you you you think you think the notion that uh Obama knows nothing about this is is uh asking a bit much to be believed.
Hui, yeah.
I would say so.
Well now this is you know, I'm I'm I'm happy to hear you say this.
And you know why?
Why?
Because you're exhibiting common sense.
And you know how few people do.
We've gotten to the point where the truth is staring us right in the face of people saying it can't be.
Because we've been lied to so much by the drive-by media.
We don't know what to believe, including the truth.
And the truth is right in front of us, or something, this may not be an established truth yet, but for crying out loud, everybody in this cesspool is tainted for years at one guy who was spawned by this cesspool.
Sure.
Has not been touched by it.
And somehow people find that easier to believe.
So I'm honored.
I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm flattered somebody with common sense like you is in this audience.
I think it's absolutely I don't I I almost crazy, you know, borderline crazy for people to just turn their heads the way that they've been, you know, and and well, what can we there's there's the we really can't do anything about it.
No people are turning their heads, they're just what it is, Angelique, all one of my all-time top ten favorite female names, by the way.
What it is is that people don't want to face this kind of stuff now.
Like Barry Henne's been inaugurated.
Don't hit me with this.
I don't want to deal with it.
I wanna I want to I want to stay lost in the illusion of hope and change and receding sea levels.
Uh and all these and no nobody hating America.
I I I I want to live in my cocoon, my warm little cocoon.
Don't hit me with these.
I don't want I don't even want to confront it, and that's where they are.
Well, this year was certainly a central an a very interesting election year for us as we're kind of uh out flapping in the breeze with our family, so it made for a very interesting Thanksgiving.
Um What are you one of the few conservatives in your family?
Well, my husband comes from one of the union backed democratic families in Pennsylvania, and his father worked for a very uh large company and union and all that.
You and your husband, how long have you been married?
We've been married for eleven years now.
Uh and has he always been of this uh shall we say persuasion, and you've always been uh of your persuasion?
You know, just what I I want to say in the last five years, I guess I kind of finally rubbed off on him and he started, you know, he started actually now he has more than I do.
So the divide is not nearly as wide as it has been.
Well, my husband and I um we've come to see eye to eye on things, and he went digging for himself.
Uh and but it's the rest of the family.
So what are you doing for Christmas?
I got 30 seconds left here.

What you want to tell them is I don't know why they all voted Obama.
You ought to why are you people so irritable?
Why are you so why do you want to get so mad at me?
Your guy won.
It's uh holidays, it's Christmas.
Better times are just around there.
Why aren't you happy?
That's what I would ask them, were I you.
