Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Listen to this headline.
It is a headline from CBS News and their website.
AIG bonuses renew call for Congress to read bills.
Is that not hilarious?
Greetings.
Greetings.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program.
Here we are the fastest three hours in media broadcast excellence.
Straight ahead as always.
It is a thrill and an honor.
Delight to be with you.
The phone number, if you want to be on the program when we eventually get to the phones, is 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Yes.
AIG bonuses renew call for Congress to read bills.
And I, your host, am mentioned in this story.
The fine print in the stimulus bill authorizing the AIG bonuses has led to a renewed call for politicians to read legislation before they vote on it.
This a renewed call.
It means it's an ongoing problem that the best and brightest among us are voting on things they have not read, they have not studied.
And of course, how about the timeliness of this?
After the AIG mess has been created, now they come out with a story that essentially says all these clowns didn't read the bill, which we have been saying for weeks.
Now, by the way, uh there are more departures at AIG.
Ed Morrissey has it at Hotair.com.
The war on prosperity continues.
I don't know whether this is intended or unintended, but more people are leaving AIG.
mission accomplished.
You have to understand all this stuff happening in the financial sector, ladies and gentlemen, is designed to create more fallout and more chaos.
The more chaos, the greater opportunity for government Obama to take it over.
It's like the plan, and when he like I said yesterday, really, really, really came alive in his press conference the other night when talking about the deductibility for charitable contributions being reduced.
I mean, he got excited.
He got really, really, really reffed up about that.
And you might, you know, but most charities are upset about this.
A lot of other people are upset about it.
But if you understand why.
Okay, if there are fewer citizens, i.e.
the private sector making charitable donations, guess who gets to make it up?
If it's made up, that's the government.
The government will be more in control of even that.
That's the theme that you have to understand.
The umbrella under which all of this news about the financial sector or any other business or industry that the government is bailing out, i.e.
taking over.
You have to understand that this is all about the government creating chaos.
Uh Dick Morris, Dick Morris was on Covuto's show yesterday.
And he said after he listened to Geithner's plan on the toxic assets.
He said he's convinced that Obama wants the plan to fail.
Now this is taking it to a new level.
I, of course, said I want Obama's policies to fail.
Bobby Gindle out there backed that up.
Now, by the way, the CNN is running a story.
The Democrat National Committee claims that I am Bobby Gindle's speechwriter.
The only problem with that is I don't write speeches.
I don't even write my own.
And the only way that you can get a transcript of my speech is to find out what I said after it when their transcripts published is I do not write speeches.
And now they're using me in a special election in New York.
They're taking the attack rush plan, Rom and these guys for a little test drive.
In a special election up in New York.
New York State will have details of that as the program unfolds.
The CBS story AIG bonuses renew call for Congress to read, Bill?
The United States Congress is dangerous.
Radio host Rush Limbaugh said, Said last week, they put the bonus law in the stimulus bill that nobody read.
The stimulus bill contained the details of these bonuses.
And they even include in this CBS story a link to a video clip of Republicans unsuccessfully trying to have the bill read out loud.
CB.
kid you not.
See, it's a blog, but it's still it's it's on the uh it's on the CBS website, uh, nevertheless.
Tim Geithner today was up on Capitol Hill again.
Financial Times has the details.
Geitner lays out new financial rules.
Let's go to the audio sound bites to give you a flavor of this.
Once again, this is the House Financial Services Committee.
Barney Frank, the banking queens committee, and here is Barney setting out the plan.
The goal of public policy is to come up with rules that set a fair playing field that constrain abuses that protect legitimate and responsible entities from irresponsible competition.
The job of Franken Roosevelt and his colleagues during the 30s was to set rules that allowed us to get the benefit of the finance capitalism of the stock market, but could tail some of the abuses.
Our job is to craft rules, as did Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt that allow the society to get the benefit of these wonderful value-added financial innovations while controlling some of the abuses.
Meaning the government's gonna now be the referee.
The government is gonna control as much of this as they can.
Here is Geitner now asking for massive new powers to change the financial system.
Not modest changes.
He wants an overhaul.
And as I discussed before this committee on Tuesday, U.S. law left regulators without good options for managing the failure of systemically important large complex financial institutions.
To address this will require comprehensive reform.
Not modest repairs at the margin, but new rules of the game.
And the new rules must be simpler and more effectively enforced.
These will include rules on what you can make, uh, what you can earn, what your bonuses are gonna.
Now here's here the the the thing, folks, that you have to ask yourselves now seriously, uh ask yourself at any time you interface with government, any time you interface with a government bureaucracy at the state level, at your local town or city level, whatever it is, the DMV, or whether you're going out to uh try to get a permit to build something in addition onto your house.
Uh you know, what whether you're whether you're fighting the town ordinance on whether you can have your lights on in the back because of turtles.
I mean, whatever it happens to be, ask yourself how smoothly does it go, and how often do you succeed in battling government?
I mean, just the other day, yesterday, the post office says we're out of money.
The postal service directors were out of money.
We don't we wait who's been running the post office.
There is no intelligent reason to give these bureaucrats any more control over our capitalist institutions than they already have.
The Congress has regulated the financial services industry and the bank industry to the point that they have practically destroyed it.
As recently as post-Enron, we had all kinds of new regulations, and we had new regulations on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack, and when the regulators tried to enforce them, guess who shut them down?
Your very own Congress.
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd did their best to shut them down.
We found out today that Rom Emanuel, during a short little stint at Fannie Mae, earned 386,000 dollars.
Should he be forced to give it back?
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are losing money.
There is no logical reason whatsoever to turn any more of this or any of this over to these incompetent bureaucrats.
Geitner is simply incompetent.
This toxic asset plan, I think I think Dick Morris is right.
I think it's designed to fail.
It makes no sense.
The toxic asset plan makes no sense.
It is designed to fail.
Chaos.
The chaos on the border.
Mrs. Clinton going down to Mexico saying it's our fault.
It's the drug habits of Americans that are driving these gangs.
And it's making the gangs pull the triggers.
It's making the gangs get the guns.
It's making the gangs trying to get into the United States.
It's the United States fault, the chaos on the border.
That's exactly what they want.
Everywhere you look, you need to look around.
You can't avoid it.
There's chaos everywhere.
And you you'd have to think, well, here we elected a guy to stop all this.
Hell, folks, if you read the right papers, we are slowly becoming hated, genuinely hated overseas.
The European Union and a bunch of the the Chicoms, they are livid with us over the way we are handling our supposed rescue of our financial circumstance.
They I thought we were supposed to be loved.
I thought there was supposed to be all this new respect simply because we got rid of George W. Bush.
But now we're despised and hated, and people think we don't know what we're doing, and what they're missing is we know exactly what we're doing.
Well, Obama knows exactly what he's doing.
There's a there's a story I have in the stack today.
I just I I I read this, I just started laughing.
In fact, let me find it.
Here.
Let me got it here pretty nearly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here it is.
This is from uh, let's see, New Scientist.com.
It's midnight.
This is how the story begins.
It's midnight on 22 September 2012.
The skies above Manhattan are filled with a flickering curtain of colorful light.
Few people who live in New York have seen the aurora this far south, but their fascination is short-lived.
Within a few seconds, electric bulbs dim and flicker, then become unusually bright for a fleeting moment.
Then all the lights in the state of New York go out.
Within 90 seconds, the entire eastern half of the U.S. is without power.
A year later, millions of Americans are dead.
The nation's infrastructure lies in tatters.
The World Bank declares America a developing nation.
Europe, Scandinavia, China, and Japan are also struggling to recover from the same fateful event.
A violent storm 150 million kilometers away on the surface of the sun.
Sounds ridiculous.
Surely the sun couldn't create so profound a disaster on Earth yet.
An extraordinary report funded by NASA and issued by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in January this year, claims it could do just that.
Now I'd like to know if any of these people buy into global warming.
any of these people that issue this report?
Because the people that bind to global warming say sun has nothing to do with anything to do with whether it's warm or cold here on the Earth.
The projections of just how catastrophic this storm will be make chilling reading.
Oh, I'll bet.
Oh, I'll bet they do.
We're moving closer and closer to the edge of a possible disaster, said Daniel Baker.
A space weather expert.
Are you kidding me?
We have a space weather expert on Earth.
We don't even have weather experts on Earth, and now we got a guy who's an expert in weather in space.
He's based at the University of Colorado Boulder.
He's chair of the National Academy of Sciences Committee responsible for this report.
It's hard to conceive of the sun wiping out a large amount of our hard-earned progress.
And the reason, ladies and gentlemen, that it's difficult to conceive of the sun wiping out a large amount of our hard-earned progress is the Democrat Party already does it.
We don't need the sun to wipe out large amounts of our hard-earned progress.
Barack Obama and the Democrat Party are in the process of doing it.
We don't need to wait till 2012 for this mythical storm on the sun to take us back to the third world.
The Democrat Party is in full speed, ahead mode on this.
So here we have more doom and gloom.
It's everywhere you look.
It's crisis, it's disaster.
Why I've got a New York Times story today with 10 cities actually under bridges in Fresno, California.
I know they've been there, but you didn't see it reported during the Bush administration.
Now California's about bankrupt, 10.1% unemployment out there.
This is a state Problem run by the left.
California is a microcosm of what we face because Obama is emulating the same kind of policies that have run California into the ground.
Now we've got all this doom the latest doom and gloom is the sun is going to set us back to the stone age.
The global warmists are going to convert to this disaster as soon as their little bare feet can get them there.
I mean, if this doesn't scare us all into giving up meat and getting rid of light bulbs, toilet paper, driving cell phones, and instead adopting mass transit.
You wait, you wait till you hear the solution for this.
The solution for this sunstorm that's going to wipe us out will be every solution they're offering for global warming.
This story says that the resulting disaster will be worse than Hurricane Katrina.
This sunstorm will be worse than Hurricane Katrina.
Obviously, somebody on the sun's very mad.
And then they're going to take it out on it.
But it's just, folks, it never ends.
Every day there is something that's going to kill you.
Every day there's something that's going to ruin us.
And every day that that was reported, guess what the solution is?
The government has to take over.
The government has to be in charge.
Now the government is going to fully take over the financial services industry.
They're going to nationalize it because they want to control it.
And I defy you to find other than the U.S. military anything the government does that you would hire them to do if you had a job needed to be done.
Think about it.
And yet, and yet so many people seem to think that is the magical solution.
All right, a quick time out.
There's big problems overseas, by the way.
Speaking of the third world.
Another Obama brother is in trouble in Kenya.
This is Malik Obama, not to be confused with George Obango Oyango.
George Obango Oyango Obama is the guy who lives in the hut.
Malik Obama has been taken to hospital with chest pains and stomach pains.
They fear cholera.
Also today, Obama's aunt, Aunt Zatuti, faces deportation hearings.
I know it's hard to believe.
The President of the United States signed a $500,000 book advance five days before being inaugurated to escape ethics rules and to also earn a lot of money before his own tax increases go into effect.
Now I wonder if President Obama will redistribute any of that $500,000 to the guy living in a hut, the brother who has cholera, and will he lift a finger to help Aunt Zatutti, who is about to be sent back to the third world whether the sun erupts or not.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh on the cutting edge of societal evolution here at the EIB network.
You remember, we got all those jokes about how dumb George W. Bush is.
In fact, I hadn't seen this.
I was channel surfing around last night looking for a movie worth watching.
And I started with HBO because it's the first movie channel on DirecTV, Channel 501.
And I saw the stage show Will Ferrell is doing.
The good night with George W. Bush or a last day with whatever.
It was just outrageous.
That was just portraying this guy as the biggest boob, loony-tune, stupid idiot on a it made me sick watching this stuff.
And then realized that, you know, the theater wherever it was taking place was loaded with people laughing themselves silly.
And we would never ever get anything like that about Obama, and this guy is truly, truly dangerous.
I don't know how smart he is.
You know, education's one thing.
Common sense smart is another.
Well, let's talk about it.
Bush.
How dumb is he jokes?
We heard them all over the place.
How about how about we take the other tack with Obama?
How about we start talking about how smart he is?
Let's do some bits on how smart Obama is.
He is so smart that he can increase the national debt by nine trillion and brag That he's cutting spending by four trillion.
He's so smart he can say he wants us out of Iraq in 16 months, and he can say that for the next 27 months.
He's so smart he can still say that today.
He's so smart that he can say that he'll get the world to love us again.
While Poland and England and France and Germany and the European Union are furious with us, not to mention the GICOMs.
And he's going to work with Iran to stop nukes.
All of this stuff is happening.
The jokes are on us when Bush was president.
The jokes were on him.
With Obama, it's a total joke, and the joke's on us, and it actually isn't funny.
Hang on a minute.
What do I...
Oh!
Oh, goody.
Oh.
Here, as a prelude, grab Audio Soundbite 25.
You're gonna find it in four seconds.
Play it.
We could set up systems so that everybody in each house have their own smart meters that uh will tell you when to turn off the lights, when the peak hours are, can help you sell back energy that you've generated in your home through a solar panel or through uh other mechanisms.
All this can be done, but it also creates jobs right now.
Our biggest problem, we don't have enough electricians to lay all these lines out there.
Jokes on us.
This is from his Internet Town meeting just moments ago.
You are wrong, Snerdley.
When we're talking California, there will not be a revolution point.
Because the people that would revolt in California are leaving.
Sit tight, folks.
You will not believe the latest environmental regulation proposed in the state of California.
But first, for those of you who read the book 1984, Big Brother was everywhere, no matter where you went.
Big brother was on television, on the radio, didn't matter where you went.
I have a simple question.
When do all television sets just eventually default to the Obama channel?
There has to be an Obama channel now, and at some point the government, the FCC, is gonna encode broadcast signals so that your TV or your receiver defaults to the Obama channel all the time.
Same thing with your computer defaulting to the Obama page.
Last Thursday, we had Obama on Leno.
On Sunday, we had Obama on 60 minutes.
On Monday, we had the networks replaying Obama on 60 minutes in Leno.
On Tuesday, we had the all-channel press conference Tuesday night.
Today.
Now wait a minute.
Scratch that.
On Thursday, we had Leno.
On Friday, we had wall-to-wall media coverage of Obama on Leno.
Then on Sunday we had 60 minutes.
Monday we had wall-to-wall media coverage of Obama on 60 minutes.
On Tuesday, we had the all-channel press conference from the White House.
Yesterday, wall-to-wall media coverage of the Obama press conference.
Today, Thursday, a virtual town meeting in the White House.
Obama doing an internet online town meeting.
Tomorrow, it'll be wall-to-wall coverage of the Obama town meeting.
Now, I I don't know how many of you uh read Orwell's 1984, but the Supreme Leader was Big Brother.
And not only was he on TV 24-7, you couldn't get him off of television.
So we have audio sound bites from Barack Obama all over television today.
He had an internet town meeting that the networks, well, the cable networks spent some time televising.
We have three sound bites, one of which you just heard.
Here is a C this is uh a question for the president from Harriet in Georgia.
Hello, President Obama.
Here is my question for your online town meeting.
When can we expect the jobs that have been outsourced to other countries to come back And be made available to the unemployed workers here in the United States.
Thank you so much for all your hard work.
God bless you.
Now, before we play, before we I don't believe any of these questions actually came from people that just created the question.
But before I play you Obama's answer, let me remind you of IBM yesterday.
IBM announced layoffs of American workers and said that the work being done by the laid-off Americans would be picked up by IBM employees in India.
In essence, it was in the Wall Street Journal yesterday.
IBM outsourcing jobs.
So here's this question from uh from Harriet in Georgia.
When are you going to bring these jobs back made available to the unemployed workers here in the United States?
Thank you so much for all your hard work.
And uh and God bless you.
Here's Obama's answer.
The answer to the question is not all of these jobs are going to come back.
And it probably wouldn't be good for our economy for a bunch of these jobs to come back, because frankly, uh there's no way that people could be getting paid a living wage on some of these jobs.
At least in or in in order to be competitive in an international setting.
So what we've got to do is create new jobs that can't be outsourced.
Uh and that's why energy is so promising.
I don't think that we've lost all the jobs we're going to lose in this recession.
We're still gonna be uh in a difficult time for much of this year.
Well, that's inspiring.
The jobs aren't coming back.
We don't want them back.
They don't pay very much.
We need new jobs that can't be outsourced.
There's no such thing.
We need new energy jobs.
Now we can't blame this on the I don't I uh I don't think the teleprompter's making him say this.
I scoured, I watched, I couldn't find any evidence that the teleprompter's there.
I'm sure the teleprompter's feelings are hurt.
Well, no, wait, I take it back.
I take it back.
There the teleprompter was there in his opening statement.
A teleprompter was there, and then what he would do, he'd turn his back to the camera to read the question on this giant internet uh uh uh monitor, you know, the the that people had sent in.
Then he would turn back.
There was a teleprompter there.
Maybe the teleprompter did tell I I don't know if he knows the questions in advance.
It'd be easy to sit here and be cynical and say that Obama's people wrote the questions and then wrote the answers, and all of it's on the prompter.
But I think that uh uh even if they did write the questions, they had to do it through real citizens, and he's got a network of people that go for this.
Acorn, he's got a bunch of people that would go for this.
But forget that for a second.
Let this his answer.
The jobs aren't coming back, and we're uh we're gonna lose more jobs this year.
But that's okay because we're gonna create new jobs.
We're gonna create energy jobs, jobs that can't be outsourced.
So I hope all of you losing your jobs out there are inspired here by the fact that one of the reasons you're losing jobs outsourcing, those jobs are gone.
They're not worth it anyway.
They don't pay much money.
Uh I don't think IBM's paying chump change even in India, ladies and gentlemen.
But regardless, your president not inspiring.
Your president not giving you any hopeful signs of improvement in the economy this year.
He wants you depressed, he wants, and it's all stuff he inherited.
He opened his little statement today on the prompter.
Prompter told him again to say that he had inherited all this.
This guy's a gutless wonder.
He is seeking as much chaos and depression among average Americans as he can get.
Now, here this again.
This is part of his response to Harriet.
Now remember, Harriet, hello, President Obama.
My question for you when can we expect jobs that have been outsourced to come back and be made available to the unemployed workers here in the U.S.?
Thank you so much for all your hard work.
God bless you.
Please call me when Michelle's out.
He tells you that aren't jobs are coming back.
We need new green jobs, and then This was the next part of the answer.
We could set up systems so that everybody in each house have their own smart meters that uh will tell you when to turn off the lights, when the peak hours are, can help you sell back energy uh that you've generated in your home through a solar panel or through uh other mechanisms.
All this can be done, but it also creates jobs right now.
Our biggest problem, we don't have enough electricians to lay all these lines out there.
We've been laying lines in this country ever since the 90s.
We've been laying lines in this country since the 1800s.
We got cable lines into every home in this country practically.
We got telephone lines, we got computer lines, we got wireless.
We got Wi-Fi.
We got more ways into your home than you know.
There was an explosion of electricians.
With the housing boom, who do you tell who the hell do you think wired all those houses that were built?
A shortage of electricians.
But aside from that, folks, aside from that, we could set up systems so that everybody in each house have their own smart meters.
You see, you are too stupid to know when it's peak usage, despite the fact that your drive-by media and the utility companies are warning you every five seconds, every day when it's 100 degrees in August.
You might also know you're at peak usage when there are brownouts if you live in California, thanks to Enron.
Yes, we know.
But you're too stupid to know even this.
So you need a smart meter in your house.
Smart meters called a thermostat.
And many people already have them in their homes.
But according to Obama, you don't know how to use it.
So we're going to put another thermostat in there that's going to send out little warnings or red lights to start blinking when you're at peak usage, and you can then turn off your lights, and then you can turn down or up your thermostat, whichever is called for.
And then we're going to help you sell back energy that you've generated in your home through a solar pan.
And we can be done with create jobs doing this right now.
How?
Obama just said that the federal government is going to find a way into your house to tell you how and when you can set your thermostat.
And he wants to hire a bunch of new government workers to get in your house to do this.
Remember, in the UK, they've already spent 30,000 pounds.
We had the story yesterday, with spy planes flying over neighborhoods with cameras that produce an infrared reaction, and they can detect homes that are overusing the approved amount of electricity and energy.
We don't even need electricians in your home.
We can just have spy satellites do it.
The point is the Obama administration wants to know when you are breaking the rules.
The Obama administration wants to know when you are exceeding your allotment.
All this couched in, you can save the planet, and we can help you do it.
Tyranny.
Pure unadulterated tyranny.
In California, they are preparing to ban one color on automobiles in order to save energy.
The color that they will ban theoretically will cause you to lose use less air conditioning in your car as you're driving.
Details.
This is what Snerdley said is finally going to cause the revolution in California.
I said there's not going to be a revolution in California.
The people that would revolt are leaving.
Some may disagree, but they're now going to dictate the color.
Well, I'll just tell you, it's black.
It's racist.
They're going to ban black cars.
They're going to ban black paint.
Remember when the first Model T's came off the assembly line?
What was the name?
Henry Ford?
Henry Ford, so we can have any color you want as long as it's black.
In California, you can have any color you want as long as it isn't black.
A minor correction.
I said that Aunt Zatutti, uh Obama's aunt was facing deportation to the third world today.
It's April 1st.
She's back in her Boston tenement awaiting a deportation hearing on April 1st.
The president's isn't going to let the law play out.
He's not going to lift his hand here.
How's this going to look?
If if if well it is heartless.
He's got $500,000.
He can buy her an apartment.
He can buy her a green car.
It's a president.
But if he does that, then he steps on the U.S. law.
So they're ignoring U.S. law in a whole bunch of regulations of the banking industry and a number of other things.
They're ignoring the Constitution.
They're stepping on it.
And some people say it would be embarrassing around the world for the uh aunt of the President of the United States to be deported.
We just don't need this.
Which leads to question do we care what people You know?
This is an excellent question, by the way.
Do we care?
What no, wrong question because obviously we're obsessed with it.
The question is, should we care what the world thinks of us in the administering of our policies, both foreign and domestic?
It's an interesting question.
I know the answer.
But I would be interested to hear what people think about this.
By the way, the stimulus bill includes the smart monitors.
And you know who's going to build them?
Google.
This is from uh let's see International Herald Tribune, which is the New York Times International edition.
February 10th of this year, Google will announce its entry into the small but growing business of smart grid digital technologies that seek to keep both the electrical system on an even keel and reduce electrical energy consumption.
Google is one of a number of companies devising ways to control the demand for electric power as an alternative to building new power plants.
The company has developed a free web service called a power meter that consumers can use to track energy use in their house or business as it's consumed.
Smart grid is a new buzz phrase in the electric business, encompassing a variety of approaches.
So it's in the stimulus bill and Google, but Google's done it on their website.
We don't need to wire anything.
It's already been done on Google.
Google, by the way, was instrumental in the whatever you want to call this thing, the virtual town hall today.
You go to the Google main page.
Do you have a question for Obama?
Click on the link.
If California regulators get their way, automakers may soon be forced to rewrite a cliche from the Model T era and start telling customers they can have any color they want as long as it isn't black.
Some darker hues will be available in place of black, but right now they are identified internally at paint suppliers with names such as mud puddle brown and are truly ugly substitutes for the rich ebony hue is available today.
So buy a black card now because soon they won't be available or will look so putrid you won't want one.
And that's too bad because paint suppliers say black is the second or third most popular vehicle color around the world.
The problem stems from a new cool paints initiative from the California Air Resources Board.
The California Air Resources Board wants to mandate the phase-in of heat reflecting paints on vehicle exteriors beginning with the 12 model year, the 2012 model year, uh with all colors meeting a 20% reflectivity requirement by the 2016 model year.
A cool paints initiative.
See, black absorpts.
Black hole, you know, you wear a black shirt in the hot summertime and you feel a little warmer than if you're wearing a white shirt.
So the theory is that a black car is absorbing all kinds of heat, making it hotter inside your car.
They're gonna have to ban black interiors as well.
I mean, if you're in the summertime and you're driving around with black seats and upholstery in your car and the sun's exposed to it or it's exposed to the sun, you know how hot it can get in there.
So you ban these colors.
Uh means the government wants to regulate fuel economy by mandating only lighter colored cars.
They think these lighter colored cars will stay cooler On sunny days and will not use as much air conditioning.
They are serious.
The California Air Resources Board.
They are serious about this.
Now, you take a look.
The last time you watch the epidemic awards and you watch the red carpet ceremony, they show you the caravan of stars arriving.
What is the predominant color of the limousines and the SUVs delivering these people?
Black.
Whites considered tacky.
What's the predominant color of the Chevrolet suburban fleet that follows President Obama around?
And what's the color of his Cadillac limousine?
It's black.

They couldn't calculate it.
It was so small.
So many other variables, headwinds and so forth.
Passenger loads, fuel loads.

Stay with us.
Two questions for you.
How much electricity in homes is being stolen now with uh meters being successfully bypassed?
And what if you told the state of California that you'll drive your black car only at night?
