	Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
	I have it on good authority.
	Ladies and gentlemen, you know, Obama runs the Commerce Department now.
	Who did he put in over there?
	Who's running?
	Who got do we have a Commerce Secretary?
	Who the who the heck is it?
	I can't, it doesn't matter.
	The Commerce Department, 80% of the Commerce Department's job is the weather.
	You understand that.
	Maintaining a National Weather Service and all that.
	And I have been stunned.
	I've been sort of surprised there haven't been the usual hurricane forecasts.
	I mean, here it's already uh close to the middle of March, and we haven't had any hurricane forecasts yet.
	I have it on good authority that there are to be 500 named storms in the United States this hurricane season.
	450 of them are to be major storms.
	The Obama administration waiting to announce Gary Locke.
	That's right, Gary Locke, the chairman of uh former, what is he, uh governor, governor state of Washington, yeah.
	So 500 named hurricanes this year.
	450 will be major.
	Uh, that's Don, do you believe that?
	Typical, I think, of the crisis mentality that this administration is uh is living in.
	All right, great to have you here, folks.
	Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network.
	Oh, just got the cue sheet.
	Hang on.
	Telephone numbers 800 282-2882, and the uh the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
	Let's see here.
	I just got the audio soundbite roster.
	Can you hang on with me for just a second?
	I want to look and see what I got.
	Let's see.
	Uh see.
	Kramer, Scarborough Gibbs, uh me, me, me, me.
	Everything's about me again.
	Me, me, me, Charlie Wrangle, Charlie Wrangle, Obama, Obama.
	Listen, we're the one I asked for.
	Oh, yeah.
	Warren Buffett again from yesterday.
	You know, is the worm turning out there?
	We at this point in the program yesterday, we had five sound bites for you, or maybe it was four.
	Let me uh one, two, three, four, five sound bites on Warren Buffett, where he basically threw Obama under the bus.
	Basically threw Obama under the bus.
	And I promise I'm going to play those sound bites again today.
	This is uh threw him under the bus on the economy.
	And finally, somebody else is reporting this.
	Somebody other than me.
	It's from Reuters today.
	The headline, vaunted Obama message machine is off key.
	When billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that Obama's economic message is muddled and undermining public confidence.
	It's worth listening.
	Halfway through his first 100 days in Orifus, Ace Communicator Obama has struggled to find the right tone in talking about the economy.
	Uh twinning bleak warnings with optimism about the future.
	Twinning.
	How about combining?
	On the campaign trail, Obama said a president must be able to do more than one thing at a time, and his White House has been doing that.
	But he also said in that callback to the New York Times that hey, I got far more to worry about here than the financial situation.
	So what I let's go back and let's let's start again with uh with Obama.
	Uh sorry, with with uh with Warren Buffett, because we have Jack Welch uh to add to this today, although I let me let me just yeah okay.
	It's very typical.
	Here we go.
	Let's start where we are with audio soundbite.
	I think it's number 21 Ed.
	Soundbite's 21 through 25.
	This is worth hearing again because Reuters has now picked up on this.
	Jack Welch has chimed in, uh, but covered his rear end at the same time.
	So here's Warren Buffett yesterday.
	This is from CNBC.
	And here is a comment he made about card check.
	Now, by the way, card check is being introduced in the House and in the Senate today.
	And it looks like it's in trouble.
	Blanche Lincoln from Arkansas, who was an original supporter, Arlan Spector, an original supporter back in 2007 when there was, you know, it had no chance of passage.
	Both of them are changing their minds.
	It looks like Card Check is going to have some problems.
	Card check is the is the misnamed piece of legislation that will allow unions to come in and unionize virtually any small business that they wanted to.
	Oh, and speaking of that, there's a great piece today in the American thinker.
	And it is about government unions.
	Now, follow me on this, and I'm paraphrasing this, I just read it.
	That's right.
	Mary Landrew was uh was also a supporter of Kardsek, and now she's in doubt about, you know, when the rubber meets the road, when the pedal hits the metal, when the happy meal has the order of fries, or the McNuggets.
	Then when it when it gets serious about that, if people start thinking about this in different ways, now that the vote may actually affect their futures as opposed to their words affecting their futures, some of these people are backing off on card check.
	Now, the point in the the American thinker piece today was we're all being told by the Obama administration that the government is our salvation, that the government is our destiny, that the government can should handle all of our problems, that the government's the only place that can deal with the economic decline, the government's the only institution that can save the world, much less save America.
	If that's the case, why do government workers need a union?
	I mean, the people closest to the government are the people that work for it, right?
	And yet they need a union to protect themselves from what?
	The government.
	From incompetence, from excess of what, hey, it's a great, great point.
	If the government were so magnificent, if the government were so wonderful, why nobody would need union representation to protect them against the government.
	I will share this with you in greater detail as the uh as the program unfolds.
	I still, you know, I'm still can't get over all the gaffes that are occurring in this administration.
	And I'm you know, I'm I'm wondering if it were George W. Bush and uh and he had sent his Secretary of State over to meet with the Russians, and they totally and that stupid little Lego game thing they put together, the read the red reset button got the word wrong.
	Um, that would have been so huge.
	Can you imagine how the drive-by media would have talked about the stupidity of Bush and the State Department if it was Condoleezza Rice?
	Or imagine if it were Colin Powell.
	You know, he was the first Secretary of State.
	Can you imagine if something like that, well, they would have slid past it, or as Dizzy Dean used to say, they would have slid past it if it were Colin Powell.
	But for Condoleezza Rice, oh, they would be demanding that she be thrown out and so forth.
	So we've had that gaff, we've got the tax cheats, uh, the Gordon Brown insult.
	That still blows my mind.
	Obama giving the Prime Minister of the U.K. something you would give your mother-in-law for Christmas at the last minute when you had run out of ideas.
	So you dial up Amazon and pick 25 DVDs and fire them off.
	I mean, the the the the basic etiquette that is missing here is shocking.
	And then, and then again, this Hillary thing, uh that's it was embarrassing from top to bottom.
	And then Hillary wasn't through.
	She visits Brussels.
	She speaks to leaders of the European Union, and in a speech, she claimed that U.S. democracy was older than Europe's.
	She said, I have never understood multiparty democracy.
	It's hard enough with two parties to come to any resolution, and I say this very respectfully because I feel the same way about our own democracy, which has been around a lot longer than European democracy.
	Smartest woman in the world now, remember.
	You know what the biggest myth in American politics is that liberal Democrats are all intellectually smart, and that Republican conservatives are Neanderthals.
	I'll tell you somebody on the Democrat side who's really smart, and that's Clinton.
	He may sound like a bumpkin now and then he may do some stupid things, cause those excessive appetites he has that just vore races, they can't be satisfied, but he's smart.
	Obama's not even in Clinton's league when it comes to smarts, but he has the ability to talk it.
	You know, intellectuals are often the ones that are more surprised by the truth and the outcome of events because they're removed.
	They live in their own little world of affected speech, uh worldviews and so forth.
	Nobody would accuse Clinton of being intellectual simply because he's from Arkansas and he sounds like it.
	But he's smart.
	You have to, if Bill Clinton is a smart tactician, he's strategically smart.
	Obama's not in his league, but they built Obama up to be this smartest guy, the brainiest, just like Hillary is not and never was the smartest woman in the world.
	We have been around, our democracy in the U.S. been around longer than European democracy.
	Ever heard of Athens?
	Ever I mean, I just I just he just mouth opens uh in in awe.
	So we thought, you know, we saw that we thought that Obama sent Hillary out in the world where she has been virtually for the entire Obama administration, so she could stay out of his newly gray hair.
	But the fact of the matter is, she plowing through one mistake after another, one giant embarrassment after another, and she is the one with experience between the two of them.
	All right.
	A brief time out here, ladies and gentlemen.
	We'll come back.
	Warren Buffett again from yesterday because I don't think the worms really turning, but I mean, when when the Reuters guys start writing about Obama's vaunted message machine being muddled, because Warren Buffett basically says, hey, you're doing things wrong here.
	Uh, it's worthy of comment here on the EIB network.
	Sit tight.
	We'll be right back.
	Hi, welcome back.
	Rush Limbaud, the most listened to Radio Talk Show in America.
	800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
	By the way, we're gonna play today the entire three-minute phone call, at least the uh that segment of it that the New York Times is linked to on their caucus.com blog.
	The callback from uh Barack Obama to the New York Times trying to clarify this whole notion that he's a socialist or not a socialist.
	And the reason we're going to do this is that we're going to let you hear President Obama off teleprompter trying to say something that nobody has written for him.
	And you will hear a profound difference, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
	Plus it's funny uh in and of itself as far as the content is concerned.
	All right, Warren Buffett from yesterday morning on CNBC's squawk box program.
	Here are his thoughts on card check.
	Oh, and by the way, I was just checking the email during the profit center timeout there.
	And a lot of people Rush, what is card check?
	And I understand this.
	Card check doesn't describe what this legislation is, nor does the title of the legislation describe what it is.
	Let me give you an explanation of card check that everybody can understand.
	You are a small business employee.
	Your boss Has a shop that is not union.
	After this legislation passes, one day Tony Soprano will walk in with a lead pipe.
	And he will start beating people upside the head to vote to unionize.
	Because you cannot vote in private.
	Card check is a public vote on whether to unionize.
	So they send in a soprano guy with a lead pipe aimed at your kneecaps or your head.
	And they tell you it'd be a good idea if you participated in unionizing the shop.
	And then after they unionize the shop, they really couldn't care much less about your shop.
	All they want is your dues to be able to send it to the Democrat Party.
	So when you think of card check, think of yourself as a non-union employee in a small business, you love the guy you work for, maybe you hate him, it doesn't matter.
	And some guy, Tony Soprano, walks in, threatening to beat you up over the side of the head if you don't vote to unionize.
	That's card check brought to you by the freedom-loving Obama Democrat Party.
	Here's Warren Buffett's thoughts on card check.
	I think the secret ballot's pretty important in the country.
	Okay, throws Obama overboard, throws Obama under the bus on a signature piece of legislation.
	Card check.
	He believes Buffett does in the secret ballot.
	Card check is not secret, therefore they can intimidate you into voting the way they want.
	Here is Warren Buffett on cap and trade, which is basically Obama's global warming carbon tax.
	Anything you put in that effectively taxes carbon emissions is somebody's going to bear the brunt of it.
	In the case of a regulated utility, the utility customers are going to pay for it.
	I mean, it's going to become in effect a tax.
	I think we should get the economy straight.
	I think job one, job two, and job three is the economy.
	And he doesn't like cap and trade.
	He doesn't like the carbon tax.
	Your utility rates will go up 25%.
	minimum.
	You 95% who Obama is telling that you will not face a tax increase, maybe not on your income, although you will, I guarantee that too, but But your everyday living expenses are going to skyrocket.
	But here's Warren Buffett throwing Obama overboard on cap and trade.
	Up next, corporate jets.
	Obama's trashed them.
	John Kerry has trashed them.
	So has Barney Frank.
	Obama has said you can't just get on your jet and fly to Las Vegas for a good time.
	You just can't do it.
	Those days are over.
	Here's Warren Buffett on that notion.
	I do have a dog in this point.
	So put me down as biased, but I I do think I use a jet both personally and with business.
	I mean, I have my own things I pay for, but I use it in business.
	Berkshire has been better off by me having a plane available to go and do deals or whatever it may be.
	I think it's a big mistake to start demonizing anybody in this game.
	I just think that it causes the American people to look backwards.
	And we don't want villains.
	Well, it'd be thrown overboard Obama three times now on fundamental signature Obama issues.
	Here is the corporate jet business.
	Buffett says, hey, I I have one.
	I have a business that rents and sells these things.
	I I have my own things I pay for.
	My company's been better off.
	We don't need villains.
	That's Obama's entire modus operandi.
	So here's Buffett three consecutive.
	By the way, Buffett's company, if you don't know this, is NetJets.
	And NetJets is a is a fractional share ownership plan.
	Theoretically, you can purchase a share, a quarter or a third, whatever's up for sale of whatever jet in their fleet, and they have lots of them.
	It is incredible.
	The tail numbers of NetJets aircraft.
	They all have the same paint job.
	They all have the same interior, doesn't matter what the airplane is.
	And the tail number always ends with QS, like N455 QS means for quality service.
	And they have so many of these things that I think Gulfstream, and I'm has is uh double check this.
	I think Gulfstream has dedicated A single completion center in Brunswick, Georgia, just to finish jets manufactured for Warren Buffett.
	I mean, there are a his this net jets, and then there are marquee jets, there's all kinds of these companies out there.
	And he owns one of them.
	And here's Obama out there trashing them.
	And John Kerry trashing them.
	So here's the third instance of Obama being thrown overboard by Warren Buffett.
	Here now is uh the economy in general, Warren Buffett.
	Job one is to win the war job and the economic war job two is to win the economic war in job three.
	And you can't expect people to unite behind you if you're trying to jam a whole bunch of things down their throats.
	I don't think anybody on December 7th would have said a war is a terrible thing to waste, and therefore we're gonna try and ram through a whole bunch of things.
	It's just a mistake, I think, when you've got one overriding objective to try and muddle them up with a bunch of other things.
	Well, this is major.
	He's just thrown Obama overboard on health care, on stem cells, or whatever Obama has announced.
	What is it?
	Health care, education, and whatever the third thing is, he's just thrown not only Obama overboard, he's thrown his strategy overboard.
	He has thrown his policies overboard.
	And he also doesn't like this notion of an of a of a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.
	There are a lot of great analogies to that one, by the way, that I've seen I'll share with you.
	So there's one more to go here for Warren Buffett than Jack Welch gets in the act.
	But still, this is amazing, and nobody in the drive-by's is covering this and reporting it in any way with the weight that it deserves.
	Okay, now we have just heard Warren Buffett, Mr. Capitalist, Mr. Economy, essentially throw Barack Obama's policies overboard, under the bus, yesterday in a wide-ranging two-hour appearance on CNBC.
	And after those four instances, throwing Obama under the bus, Warren Buffett was asked what role the Republicans have.
	minority has, they really do have an obligation to support things that in general are clearly designed to fight the war in a big way.
	Republicans have an obligation to regard this as an economic war and to realize you need one leader and in general support of that by But I think that the Democrats, and I I voted for Obama and I strongly support him, and I think he's the right guy, but I think they should not use this when they're calling for unity on a question this important, they should not use it to roll the Republicans.
	All right, may I translate this for you?
	I like cornflakes, but I'm not saying you should.
	If you don't like cornflakes, it's fine with me.
	And Obama makes a valid point about frosted flakes, though I personally find them too sweet, but that doesn't mean you should avoid them altogether.
	We just need to be happy work together, and the Republicans need to realize there's only one general.
	But a general has many majors.
	And sometimes majors disagree with generals.
	And at the end of the day, we all have our eye on the prize.
	And I hope that when it's all said and done, things work out.
	Uh that's how in the world can you throw Obama's policies overboard?
	How can you disagree profoundly with his signature policies and then come out and say, I like his ideas.
	He's the guy.
	I strongly support him.
	He's the right guy.
	How do you do that?
	You do that out of partisanship, ladies and gentlemen.
	But this is a this this was a huge no vote of confidence in what Obama's trying to do in uh in the what Warren Buffett's basically telling you is he is not trying to straighten out the economy.
	Jack Welch up next.
	He was on uh MSNBC today with uh Joe Scarborough and Mikha Zuzinski, and they have this exchange about President Obama.
	This guy has locked in another world, and he's throwing all these initiatives into this game in the middle of a crisis.
	Focus on the economy.
	It's the economy?
	It's getting the banks going.
	It's a clear message to everybody.
	All hands on deck.
	We have a crisis.
	Let's deal with this.
	Not one day carbon tax.
	One day take the kids out of the Washington schools.
	I mean, it's it's it's crazy.
	People need a clear message.
	Now, what would you assume about Jack Welch?
	We've got a another bite, actually two more, but one more Welch bite.
	What would you assume after hearing this?
	What would you assume, Mr. Snitt?
	He really doesn't like the way Obama's running things.
	He's he's too scatter shot out there.
	He needs to focus on one thing.
	You see, I I again I express my frustration over how few smart people actually understand liberalism, understand radicalism.
	Obama is taking advantage of everybody being distracted by the economy to ram through all these socialist type proposals that are going to fundamentally alter the basic structure of the country.
	He's doing it on purpose.
	And these guys think he's just making some neophyte uh mistake.
	Needs to focus on the economy.
	He's purposely not focusing on the economy.
	Now, you just heard Welch says he's locked in another world.
	He's throwing all these initiatives in the game in the middle of a crisis.
	Focus, focus, focus, get the banks going.
	We got a crisis.
	I mean, it's crazy.
	People need a clear message.
	And then he said this.
	I love the guy.
	I think he's great.
	I think he's got a beautiful family.
	I think he's a good man.
	But these you bring up a comment about him, and all of a sudden you're a pariah.
	You're you're not American.
	You're a bad guy.
	If you even bring his name up, my two trust fund daughters, if I bring his name up in anything other than a glorious, they don't have any critical thinking about it at all.
	Well, now we know he's getting beat up at home.
	He's getting beat up at home by his he what did he call him?
	His two trust fund daughters.
	If I bring up Obama's name in anything other than a glorious way, they yell at me.
	They don't have any critical thinking about Obama at all.
	Hey, Jack, you and I need to go have an adult beverage.
	Yes, sir.
	One more example.
	No, not about women.
	Berat.
	No, no, I don't mean about that.
	I mean, just he says I can't bring the guy's name up without without hell being sent upon you.
	That's what I mean.
	Last night on Charlie Rose on PBS.
	He interviewed Traxxas Partners hedge fund co-founder Barton Biggs.
	And Charlie Rose said to Barton Biggs, what would you like to see from Washington today?
	I voted for Obama.
	I'm a fan of Obama, but I think that his tax program has really affected the market.
	And so I'd like to see him back off from raising the capital gains tax to 20%, the dividend tax to 20%, and send a different signal.
	Don't tax the real entrepreneurial long-term investment part of the economy.
	The redistributionist part of his social agenda has bothered the market a lot.
	And so he ought to step back a little bit from that.
	I'll tell you, I throw my hands up here.
	I all of these smart people.
	They get it, folks.
	They understand the disaster here.
	They just are gutless.
	They're gutless to put any teeth behind what they really think.
	Well, I hope he hope he changes this redistributionist part.
	Really, really like the guy.
	Did I tell you that?
	I mean, is it wrong for a man to love another man?
	Is it wrong?
	I love Obama.
	I love the family.
	Why it's the greatest thing that's ever happened to America.
	Policy is a wreck in the country.
	We don't have much choice here.
	But I love the guy.
	My God, he's the greatest thing that ever happened.
	I get the hell beat out of me at home by my trust fund daughters whenever I bring his name up.
	I love the guy's destroying our economy.
	What a great guy!
	The Rocku mama.
	I know.
	I know, Snerdley.
	Snerdley says, you know, you gotta have a little humility here.
	Rush, you gotta have a little compassion.
	You have a little understanding.
	These guys can see what they're doing to you.
	And these guys don't want to go through what you're going through.
	Is that what is that your point?
	Here's the answer to that.
	You know the answer is more people just speak up and be honest, there wouldn't be just one to focus on.
	I mean, you can tell from these comments.
	You can tell from Buffett.
	You can tell from Welch, and these guys are business people, and there's not one like them anywhere in Obama's inner circle of advisors on the economy.
	And you can tell from Barton Biggs.
	You can tell.
	They don't agree, they don't like anything that's happening here in terms of policy.
	But God, what a guy!
	What a great family.
	I love the guy.
	Ho ho!
	I've never been happier with a guy.
	Is it wrong for a man to love another man?
	If these guys would just open up, there wouldn't just be one person to fire.
	We're talking we're talking about the future of the United States.
	I really wish he'd change his redistributionist policies.
	Um real entrepreneurial long-term investment to plan the economy.
	That's what's needed.
	But I voted for the guy.
	Big, big, big fan.
	Tax program sucks.
	He's got a bunch of problems out.
	I love the guy.
	Oh, I've never seen a better looking guy.
	Is it wrong for one man to love another man?
	We'll be back.
	They have ceded the territory to me.
	CEDED for those of you in Port St. Lucy.
	Back in a second.
	I wonder if uh wonder if James Carville and Paul Bagala and Stan Greenberg are even as we speak conducting another one of their famous phone polls.
	Just hear Carville on the phone.
	I just have a several question for you.
	Yes or no?
	Do you loathe Juan Buffett?
	And Juan Buffett, a danger and a riff to America.
	Yes or no.
	And then the same thing about Jack Welch.
	And Jack Welcher crook!
	Jack Welcher Crook is a good guy.
	You tell me right now.
	And they'll release the polls after they figure out how much damage Welch and Buffett are doing.
	Look, we're on a roll here, folks.
	We may as well stick with this Jim Kramer, who, as you know, I came to his defense yesterday after he expressed stunned shock and dismay that his buddies in the Democrat Party liberal wing would target him and try to go after him.
	I said, Jim, and he was he was dismayed that I would defend him.
	He's dismayed that people who disagree with him a lot, but have one thing in common might come to his defense.
	So last night on Mad Money, that's the title of Kramer's show, he had this to say about me and Obama.
	Rush Limbaugh defended me as a wayward leftist who has seen the light.
	Hey, I'm thrilled to have allies or defenders.
	Lord knows I need them.
	But the truth is, I actually agree with almost all of Obama's agenda.
	Right down to having the rich pay more taxes.
	I just think it's the wrong time.
	We need to declare war on unemployment and solve it before it gets out of hand.
	We need to stop house price depreciation.
	Nothing Obama's done so far will defeat either enemy.
	And all the initiatives he wants to rush, like the tax hikes, changes in health care, taken with the mortgage deduction.
	I mean, Ku Creep, he wants to take with a mortgage deduction right in the midst of the worst housing downturn in history.
	The tough cap and trade rules.
	Any of these could derail any chance of the economy turning around.
	After saying he agrees with almost all of Obama's agenda, he then trashes it.
	This is You know what we've got here?
	I'll tell you what we have here, folks.
	Speaking bluntly as is the only way I know how.
	These guys cannot admit that they made a mistake in supporting and voting for Barack Obama.
	That's what they can't.
	That's what they don't have the guts to admit it.
	Not yet.
	Not right now.
	They just can't make themselves do it.
	It's either that, it's either that, or they are afraid of their women at home, or they are afraid of the media who will descend on them like the birds in the movie The Birds.
	They won't even be safe in phone booths.
	Either way, these people are a bunch of wusses.
	No wonder businesses in this country is in the crapper with leaders like this for crying out loud.
	If they will cave to the right thing to do on something like this, imagine what goes on in the boardrooms, or what has gone on in the boardrooms.
	And by the way, here's another thing.
	Drive by's are you listening?
	All of a sudden now, starting yesterday with Buffett, and moving forward into today.
	Our problem with the economy is the equivalent of a war.
	Right?
	It's a war.
	And we have one commanding general, and that is Obama.
	One general, one war.
	It's a war now.
	We gotta focus everything on winning the economic war, right?
	What time is it?
	Well, I don't know what real time is because my clocks are on our delay.
	Suffice to say, it's around nine minutes to one Eastern time on March the 10th, and I, El Rushbo, proclaim this war is lost.
	If this is a war, if our battle with the economy to straighten it out and Obama is our general, this war is lost.
	You may quote me.
	Here's more from Jim Kramer last night on Mad Money.
	He continued after saying that he loves the Obama, agrees with most of its agenda, and then trashed it the rest of the soundbite.
	He continued with this.
	I am taking enfilotting fire from people I like, people I admire, people I agree with.
	While being defended by all people of Rush Limbaugh, the standard bearer for conservatives.
	Someone who I respect as a radio personality, but whose views are virtually antithetical to my own.
	How the heck did I get dragged into this mess?
	Becoming the target of the wrath of Obama's fans and the darling, albeit surely momentarily, of his critics.
	I mean, temporarily.
	It's not like my criticism of Obama's handling of the crisis is any more pointed than my criticism of the job the previous Republican administration was doing or with its pernicious, laissez-faire attitude toward Wall Street.
	So what gives you?
	The answer, I think, lies in the way the two administrations approach criticism.
	The Bush administration never questioned their beliefs, therefore never answered to anyone.
	Not Congress, not the press, certainly not me.
	They simply chose to ignore my warnings.
	Bush ignored him.
	No, it was Bush didn't decide to target a private citizen, Jim.
	The Bush administration remained above it.
	They did have their ideas.
	They're not running around responding to critics because, in their view, you weren't effective.
	The reason Obama's responding to you, Jim, is because your criticism of them is effective.
	You stand in the way.
	That's why they're coming after you.
	This is what guys on your side do, Jim.
	I'm only trying to help.
	It continued, uh, ladies and gentlemen this morning.
	Back to Scarborough show with co-host Mika Bzuzinski.
	They have this exchange once again about me.
	They play a clip from uh yesterday's program and ask Kramer to respond.
	There you go.
	50 G's I gave to Rendell back.
	How about the 20 G's I gave to Spitzer in that first campaign?
	I want that back.
	The money I gave to Corzon, I want that back.
	The Corey Booker money, I want that back.
	How about the hydro G's I wrote to the party to have a cup of coffee with Clinton?
	I want that back.
	I demanded.
	There should be like some sort of, you know, guarantee.
	Because when they attack you, you should get the money back.
	Exactly.
	I mean, how much how much dough I gave to that darn party?
	I want the money back.
	No, it's fine.
	I mean, you look, they want to attack me.
	They should really, they should lighten up.
	So last night he's uh is all upset that I'm defending him.
	Today, he demands his money back from the Democrats because they're attacking him.
	So Wherever you look, you will find Democrats and business leaders of one degree of prominence or another, all denouncing every fundamental aspect of the Obama economic policy and agenda.
	But I love the guy.
	He's so good looking.
	Why, so svelt, so debonair.
	Oh, man in the wife you've seen the kill.
	Oh, ho, ho, ho!
	Is it wrong for one man to love another man?
	Economic policies are going to destroy the country.
	But damn, I love the guy.
	What a great guy.
	Look at how the media, look at how the libs, look at how the Democrats, look at how they cow people.
	They literally intimidate them and frighten them to death.
	Not me, of course, but all these other people.
	You have to bow down to Obama as though he's a god, as though he's a king, before daring to question the policy.
