President Obama's allies in the Senate.
This is AP.
President Obama's allies in the Senate will not provide funds to close Guantanamo Bay prison next January, according to a top Democrat official today, with debate looming on Obama's spending request to cover military and diplomatic operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Democrat official said that Democrats will deny the Pentagon and the Justice Department 80 million dollars to relocate Guantanamo's 240 detainees.
Now why would this be?
Obama said he's going to close Club Gift Mall in January, 2010.
Now the Democrats say, sorry, pal, we're not going to give you the money for that.
Any guesses?
Why would the Democrats turn on Obama on this?
Why?
Don't want to lose in 2010 and the polling data on closing Guantanamo must not be on the same page with Obama's desire to do so.
And uh that's right, Snerdley.
Fear is the reason because the word is out that if we re if we close Gitma that some of these clowns are going to be released in the United States.
And people uh are not excited about that.
Americans Rasmussen report, Americans evenly divided over the area uh idea rather of making free health care.
Americans evenly divided over the idea of making free health care available to everybody in the country, but opposition grows dramatically when their own health insurance is involved.
Forty-two percent of Americans say that everybody in the U.S. ought to have free health care.
However, by 60 to 27, that's a two to one margin.
Americans reject free health care for all if it means changing their own coverage and joining a program administered by the government.
Hellsbells, folks, 42% favor free health care for all Americans except if they've got to change theirs, then to hell with all Americans.
Now what what?
You know, I love Rasmussen.
What does this question come from?
Forty-two percent favor free health care for all.
What's gonna be free about it?
There isn't gonna be anything free, but more importantly, they reject the premise of health care for all if it means changing their own coverage and joining a program administered by the government.
And that's the real news in the poll.
Reuters reporting today that uh blue-collar U.S. males are losing more ground in the employment area.
Rodney Ringler is an unemployed blue-collar male without a college degree.
He's hardly alone.
Men like him have been the main victims of the current recession.
I haven't worked since December of 07, around the time this recession started, said Ringler, 49-year-old computer technician, as he walked his dog in Dallas, and he sees little light at the end of the tunnel.
I've uh been looking to get into law enforcement because it's a growth area, but uh he had no immediate prospects.
One statistic that stands out in America's recession stung economy is the emplo unemployment rate for adult men in April for the second month in a row.
It surged ahead of the national average to 9.4% versus 8.9% for all workers.
The jobless rate for adult women 7.1%.
And the reasons, Reuters says, are clear.
Male-heavy sectors such as construction and manufacturing have been hard hit.
But the implications may be dire for the broader economy and hamper the recovery as families that once had male breadwinners now struggle.
Hey, how's that hope and change working out for you?
All this was supposed to change, right?
I mean, the little guy was supposed to be the beneficiary of all of this stimulus spending, right?
The little guy, the blue collar guy, leads the country in unemployment.
Conflicting stories on the housing market.
Washington Post.
Housing banking sectors lead market rally.
Stock markets shot up as much as 3% yesterday as investors shook off last week's malays, cheered by encouraging reports in the housing sector.
Home improvement chain lows announced better than expect expected earnings.
Well, now that's not a mystery.
Why did why did Lowe's announce better than expected earnings?
Because people are building gardens and planting their own seeds in the backyard.
Also, a home builders group, yeah, they're fixing up foreclosures too.
Entrepreneurs are fixing up foreclosures.
Anyway, home builders group said confidence in the market for new homes has risen for the second straight month.
However, if you go to the Associated Press, really, these these doesn't make sense.
The market gain yesterday attributed to the housing sector.
And home builders group said confidence in the market for new homes has risen for the second straight month.
And then you go to AP, housing construction plunged to a record low in April as a steep drop in apartment building offset a rebound in single family construction.
Permits for new projects also hit a new low.
The commerce department said today that construction of new homes and apartments fell 12.8% last month.
That's the lowest pace on record going back a half century.
And yet, the housing market is given credit for the market rebound yesterday.
In a disappointing sign for the future, applications for new building permits drop 3.3% to a new record low.
Annual rate of 494,000.
Yeah, the housing sector revived the market yesterday.
How's that hope and change working out for you?
Efforts to repay bailouts may undercut benefit for taxpayers.
New York Times.
Americans were promised a reward for rescuing the nation's banks in return for all of those bailouts.
The banks essentially granted stock options to the government, a potential jackpot for taxpayers once the crisis blew over.
Can I address that for a second?
Because this is a biggest bunch of drivel and bilge to come down the pike.
Let's say that it had worked.
Let's say that the government taken over the banks.
Let's say the banks' value roared back, and the government's hold, the stake in the banks, equaled a tremendous amount.
And for the bailout, they got great money.
And so the government is called taxpayers.
And so the taxpayers here, uh a potential jackpot for taxpayers once the crisis blew over?
Do you think how would how would this succeeding equal a jackpot for you?
It wouldn't because they're not going to give it back to you.
Because you don't own the banks, Obama does.
Obama and the Democrats own the banks.
And even if this these bailouts had led to incredible new values for the banks that the government owned, you think it's going to result in lower taxes?
You think Obama's, ooh, look at our stakes in the banks.
Why we've we've got more profit in these banks.
We got more value, more money to treasury than we ever realized.
Let's give a tax cut.
So how the hell does this jackpot, if it ever did materialize, mean anything to you?
It doesn't.
Does it mean the government would borrow less?
No.
This is pure hocus pocus.
Anyway, now the banks, eager to get Washington out of their hair, are pushing to undo these investments as quickly and cheaply as possible.
If Obama acquiesces, billions of taxpayer dollars could be left on the table.
Oh.
So the effort to repay the bailouts may undercut the benefit for tax.
There never was going to be a benefit for taxpayers.
No matter how this works out, the government benefits.
If the banks are allowed to repay some of the some of the TARP money, the bailout money, then everybody goes, yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
But it's not going to manifest itself in any positive way for individuals.
Here is an AP story.
Recession causing high anxiety for students.
School's out, surfs up, summer beckons, time for college students to see if they can stay afloat in the worst economy their generation is known.
Young people are carrying a load heavier than they normally bear as they scatter from campuses, judging from an AP MTV poll that finds students anxious about their finances, anxious about their job prospects after graduation and the pressure facing their folks back home.
Josh Donahue, 23 Oregon State University economics graduate is living on food stamps.
First in his family with a degree, he stays with relatives and scrapes even for a menial job instead of the bank gig he'd dreamed about.
A degree in economics, he said, doesn't really prepare you to understand the economy very well.
To be sure, tight budgets are a right of passage at college.
Rum and noodles build character.
But in a nation that has lost more than 5.7 million jobs since the recession began, parent and student alike are swept up in the tempest.
In the poll of students, nearly one in five reported at least one parent lost a job in the last year.
Parents usually worry about their kids' finances.
Now the kids are worrying about their parents, and that makes total sense because most of them are still being supported by their parents.
And that's why they're worried.
At George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, systems engineering junior Adrian Solomon 21 of Virginia Beach said his mother, who is single and raising his 16-year-old sister, as well as a foster child, is trying to support me sometimes when I need it.
At other times she's asked him for money.
I would do what I can to help her out.
Jake Lear, 21, Warrington, Virginia, digital arts major at George Mason, worked three jobs at a time through the semester.
Is doing one of them full-time this summer.
A resident advisor helping to look after freshmen in dorms because he gets free housing.
His parents worked for a federal contractor that shrank its workforce and eliminated 401k matching contributions.
The schools in suburban Northern Virginia outside Wishington.
Well, Washington.
I'm pretty much independent as far as school goes, Lear said, but where they would normally help me out with cash here and there, they don't do so much anymore just because money's tight.
Okay.
Well, it's a tearjerker of a story out there.
Hope and change isn't working out too well for the students.
How's that hope and change working out for any of you?
This I could go on with this story.
This story is full of tales of college kids who are experiencing indignity after indignity after indignity.
They're having to work when they get out of school.
Some of them are having to work to stay in school.
Some of them have to hold down two and three jobs.
What an indignity.
It's just, this is not what these students had planned on.
This is not what America promised them.
This is what they've got.
I wanted to be investment bankers until the government took over the banks.
You know what I think?
I think these kids doing two and three jobs is probably the best education they're getting.
They're working.
And that's one of the best ways that they can advance themselves that there ever was.
In what he casts as an attack on litter bugs and nicotine addiction, Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco wants to impose a fee on the cigarette butt.
The proposal to be introduced next month to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors would add 33 cents to the cost of a pack of cigarettes on top of the brand new federal taxes.
33 cents on the cost of a pack of cigarettes to offset the estimated $10.7 million that The city spends annually Removing discarded cigarette butts from gutters, drain pipes, and sidewalks.
Did you know, Mr. Snerdley, that San Francisco has a special cigarette butt detail?
That the sanitation people clean up everything but the cigarette butts.
They somehow leave the cigarette butts there when they clean street sweepers do the uh the the gutters and so forth.
And so what happens now they need 10.7 million more to complete the sanitation job by getting the cigarette butts and to fund it 33 cents per pack new tax on cigarettes.
I did not know there was a cigarette butt problem in San Francisco.
Mm-hmm.
San Francisco butt tax, San Francisco butt tax.
That's an appropriately named tax.
And if you just tell somebody lands here from Mars and says, Yeah, we've got a problem.
There's butts all over the street in San Francisco.
They're in the corners, they're on the drains, and uh somehow sanitation doesn't get them picked up, so we're gonna have a butt tax in San Francisco.
Unbelievable.
Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
I have I have a little challenge I would like to issue here.
I'd like to issue a challenge to our good friends over at the cable news network, MSNBC.
As you know, Michael Steele made a speech today uh uh outlining the future of the Republican Party, and apparently he mentioned every conservative's name in the book except mine and Cheney's.
This has uh this has caused many excited media people to point this out.
Oh, hey, Steele, he mentioned Burke, he mentioned Reagan, he mentioned Buckley, but he didn't mention Cheney, and he didn't mention Limbo.
Now, throughout the busy broadcast day, MSNBC cannot go an hour without mentioning me or playing video of me or having me discussed.
I have the nation's most listened to radio program and talk show.
It is clear to me that MSNBC is hoping to build its ratings on my back.
It seems that the liberalism that is MSNBC isn't selling as well as they would like, because they cannot, from the Scarborough show in the morning all the way to night, they cannot.
They cannot go any appreciable length of time without showing video of me, the CPAC speech, or excerpts from this radio show, or having a bunch of hack guests on to discuss me.
So my challenge is this to MSNBC.
Let's see if you can run your little TV network for 30 days.
Let's see if you can do rush withdrawal.
Let's see if you can run your little TV network for 30 days without doing a single story on me.
And then let's take a look at your ratings during those 30 days.
And see what happens.
Because obviously MSNBC thinks they cannot get numbers without focusing on me.
Okay.
So I challenge you, MSNBC, 30 days without anything mentioning me, no video of me, no guests commenting on me.
See if you can do it.
You know, stand on your own two feet, stand on liberalism, stand on what you believe, stop bleeding off me.
I don't care about the 10 extra listeners they might be bringing me.
Ten extra listeners, I mean, I that's irrelevant to me.
They're not just I just want to see if they can survive on their own.
You know, I'm a self-reliant kind of I don't rely on them.
Here's uh here's Teresa in Pittsburgh.
I'm glad you waited, Teresa.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, how are you doing today?
Fine, very well, thank you.
I think uh Chrysler needs to stand up and say no and kind of like revolt against the president and government, and just say, you know what, you Mr. President, you are violating our constitutional rights.
Well, now who do you mean?
Chrysler, because Obama already owns them, or it will soon, or do you mean the dealers?
The dealers, the dealers.
That are, you know, being shut down.
Well, I think that you know the creditors, these the senior lenders that hold most of the Chrysler debt that were told screw you by the I mean their Fifth Amendment constitutional rights are violated.
They could sue.
Let me tell you something, Teresa.
They're scared to death.
American corporate citizens are scared to death of this administration.
They have seen how this administration is reaching out and trying to co-opt as much of the private sector as possible.
They want to make this administration as they don't want to make them angry.
They don't they don't want to make themselves a target.
Everybody's cowering in fear of this guy.
Well, I think somebody just needs to stand up and you know say we've had it.
This is enough of taking away our freedom.
You know, this was supposed to be our founders created this country on different principles.
Let me tell you something.
I look, I understand what you're saying.
But if all of us say somebody needs to stand up, then nobody's gonna stand up.
As long as you're looking for somebody else to do it, it isn't gonna happen.
Folks, we've been talking about a lot of cars today and the fuel standards and uh engine performance and all that kind of thing.
You know, there's something you can do right now to improve the performance of your automobile without waiting for Obama to make you drive a putt putt.
I have three SUVs.
I don't drive them.
I have them for other purposes.
And the people at BG products, what what is what what is so funny about that, snurdly?
What is so funny?
Are you I have three SUVs and I don't drive I I like 'em.
They're they they serve I don't like driving them.
I I'd rather drive a car.
I mean to each his own.
But uh, you know, I've got to pick up a lot of people at the airport, go to Costco, Sam's Club, all these places, the SUV.
No, I don't go to Costco.
No, but I mean the people that do it for me drive those things.
You know, I've uh it I have use for 'em.
Anyway, the people at BG products said take one in and and let's service it at a BG place where they use BG products fluids.
And so I did that.
They checked all the fluids in the vehicle.
Uh the BG products people are in Wichita.
They had the fluids tested at their laboratories, because they wanted me to know exactly what condition the car was in.
And they discovered in their laboratories that my transmission fluid and the SUV I took to them was contaminated to the point that there were high levels of copper, iron, and lead in the transmission, not just in the fluid.
The old transmission fluid had stopped protecting my transmissions components, and I was I was facing a catastrophic failure of the transmission by not replacing the transmission fluid.
I could expect this catastrophe to occur.
So what they did, BG products uh offers the best synthetic transmission fluid service available.
They have the only lifetime protection plan in the industry.
I mean, transmission is an expensive thing to replace, and if you're not buying a new car today because of the economy, you've got to maintain the one that you're driving.
BG fluids is the best way, BG products to protect your car from from oil changes to transmission to break fluid.
Uh what you have to do is you have to find a service center that offers the BG product service, BG transmission service a website that tells you where there are dealerships or service centers where you live that use BG products.
You don't go into an auto parts place and buy BG products.
Only service centers, certain service centers use the stuff.
And the website's uh address is BG Findashop.com.
And you find a shop near you, just type your zip code in there.
BG will list all the service centers in your area.
It's that easy.
Just log on to BG Findashop.com.
Because if you're gonna hold on to your car, you gotta maintain it and keep it running, and they have lifetime guarantees once you start using their uh their product.
Brittany in uh Temecula, California, she's 20 years old.
It's great to have you with us.
Thank you.
Hi.
Um, like my dad says, Rush, I re I agree with you one percent of the time, and the other ninety-nine, you agree with me, so ditto some sunny California.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
So I wanted to share with you a little uh story.
Every night, my fifteen-year-old sister and I, I'm 20, um, spent about two, maybe one, two hours talking about, you know, current events, news, and yesterday was angry teenagers.
And she expressed to me that in high school you need a lot of angry teenagers.
And they attack first and never think later type thing.
And they always are self-proclaimed liberals.
And my thing is the liberals in Washington are just like teenagers.
Because they react on impulse and emotion, never thinking anything through.
And that's why teenagers clean flat.
Like us Christians cling to our gun and our God.
So that's, I think, because I'm so focused on getting the youth movement going.
And I read say on um, you know, Yahoo, they always got those stories that the uh hip hop movement is getting the youth movement going.
And but I feel like I can't be a part of that movement because they're a movement is all for Obama.
And they clean to my Not only that, you want to stay alive.
I mean, street street street cred for hip hoppers is a murder charge.
It is, especially when we've got most of them like Jay-Z and Young Jeezy.
You know, I'm talking about the white devil in the president's house, you know, before, you know, when Bush was still in power.
So of course, I can't be a part of that group.
Yeah, so I can't be a part of that group.
Just wanted to steal, just wanted to vent, just wanted to share that with you.
Well, I appreciate that.
Um, we we've uh gotten a lot of calls since the Easter break, the spring break.
A lot of calls from a young people like you.
Uh, and it's very comforting to the people who listen to this program to hear people like you uh out there and understand that you have a solid grip on things.
Yeah, there's anger everywhere.
I I and I'm surprised at it because the people that are angry are the people who are winning.
They're people are winning elections, they're winning on the policy battles, and they're still mad.
They're still angry, they're perpetually angry, they're perpetually in gra enraged.
And people have asked me why.
I don't know.
I can't relate to being mad all the time.
I I don't want to be mad all the time.
I don't want to wake up mad, I don't want to go to bed mad, I don't want to spend all day mad.
There are a lot of people that do it though, and I I frankly I don't understand it.
It's not something that I want to try to parse and uh and analyze.
All I know is that they're not the people going to get anything done.
The constant complaining and whining and anger has got a root cause somewhere, and it's you know, it all equals unhappiness and dissatisfaction.
And they end up striking out at people like you and your sister and blaming everybody else for the fact that they don't feel very happy uh when in fact they need to look inward.
Here it's a related story somewhat from Bedford, Ohio.
An Ohio man who argued with his grown son over a messy bedroom, said that he overreacted when he called 911 Andrew Mizak called authorities last Thursday after his twenty-eight-year-old son, who was a school board member in the Cleveland suburb of Bedford, threw a plate of food across the kitchen table and made a fist at him when told to clean his room.
The son also named Andrew, lives in a room in his parents' basement.
The father declined to press charges, told the police that he doesn't want to ruin his son's political career.
The son, who also works as a political consultant, said he's lucky to be living in the house rent-free, promised to keep his room clean.
Now, can you see this?
You have a 28-year-old son who's a member of the school board in Cleveland suburbs.
He's a politician.
He's living at home.
You have an argument with your 28-year-old son over the fact that his room is a mess.
Your 28-year-old son throws a plate of food at you.
Thereby making the kitchen or dining room dirty in addition to bedroom.
you, just as they do in Port St. Lucie when they're out of Chicken McNuggets at McDonald's, they call 911.
When your 28-year-old freeloader son still living at home throws a plate of food at you.
Now the issue here is not the 9-1-1 call.
That's just the humor.
9-1-1 to discipline a 28-year-old son.
And then after all the hubbub, you don't press charges because you don't want to ruin the spoiled little brat's political career.
The back living in the basement and all's hunky-dory and happy as it can be.
The issue here is not the 9-11 call.
The issue is a 28-year-old living at home.
This 28-year-old they say that he's in a school board.
He's got to be a community organizer.
Twenty-eight years old still living at home.
Rent-free guidance counselor or something, yeah.
Uh oh.
Oh.
I want to read to you a quote from President Obama on Sunday at Notre Dame about how we approach disagreements.
Now stick with me on this.
Said Obama at Notre Dame.
When we open up our hearts and our minds to those who may not think precisely like we do, or believe precisely what we believe, that's when we discover at least the possibility of common ground when we open up our hearts and minds.
Obama pointed to his days as a community organizer on Chicago's South Side and Cardinal Joseph Bernadon, the deceased longtime Archbishop of Chicago.
He was kind and good and a wise man, saintly man, said Obama.
He stood as both a lighthouse and at a crossroads, unafraid to speak his mind on moral issues ranging from poverty aids, abortion to the death penalty of nuclear war.
And yet he was congenial and gentle in his persuasion, always trying to bring people together, always trying to find common ground.
Never mind Obama joined Jeremiah Wright's church after all this influence from Cardinal Bernard, but that's aside the point.
Obama saying, we got to open our hearts and minds.
We have to discover at least the possibility of common ground.
Next story, the officer of Governor Jim Gibbons in Nevada was notified yesterday that President Obama has refused to meet with the governor and key business leaders from Nevada.
Governor Gibbons requested the meeting in a letter to President Obama so that Obama could address statements he made that were critical to Nevada and have caused economic damage to convention business and tourism tourism business in Nevada.
Earlier this year, the President told an audience in Ilkhart, Indiana, quote, you can't get corporate jets.
You can't go take a trip to Vegas or down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers' dime.
And it sells days are over.
That quote was seen by many as an insult to Vegas.
And by the way, Vegas tourism is way down, and Vegas unemployment is way up.
And so the governor said, hey, how about some common ground?
How about we open up our hearts and open up our minds to those who don't think precisely like we do, so that we can maybe discover some common ground.
And Obama said, pfft, you.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reports over 400 conventions and bidness meetings scheduled to take place in Vegas recently have canceled.
These canceled events translate into 111,800 guests in Vegas.
Over 250,000 room nights.
The canceled conventions and meetings have cost Vegas economy over a hundred million dollars, and that doesn't count the gambling revenue.
The mayor said, or governor said, I'm disappointed at the hypocrisy shown by this administration.
President Obama's coming to Vegas later this month for a political fundraiser for dingy Harry, but he will not help the struggling families in Vegas and Nevada who are out of work.
All he'd have to do is say, please people start touring.
Start traveling, start doing conventions again.
But he won't do it.
He won't meet with the governor of Nevada.
But he just got through telling everybody at Notre Dame that the only way we're going to solve our problems is by opening our hearts and our minds to people as he thinks differently than we do.
A giant 100% snub.
The Las Vegas media is all over the place with this.
Remember, Obama says we must find a way to live together as one human family.
Moreover, no one person or religion or nation can meet these challenges alone.
Our very survival has never required greater cooperation and understanding among all people from all places than at this moment in history.
That's Obama at Notre Dame.
But he's not the one that ever cooperates.
He kneecaps people to get them to cooperate.
Las Vegas can't survive a successful war on prosperity.
They're asking for cooperation and understanding from the man waging the war on prosperity.
No open dialogue with Las Vegas.
Obama to Nevada.
You.
All right, here's the governor of Nevada, and it's strictly a Nevada story.
It hasn't gone beyond the state borders.
He wants to meet with Obama because Obama's destroyed tourism in Las Vegas.
Obama will not meet with him.
But this is the thing, you see.
President Obama and his ilk are never held to account, folks, for the damage they cause.
They never take responsibility, nor are they asked to take responsibility for the damage they cause.
And not only that, the damage they cause is never calculated or reported, other than in state media like it was out in Las Vegas.
The only thing that matters is that Obama's doing all these things, and he says things are going to be better.
And while all this hope and change is supposed to be improving things, everything's worse.
Everything is worse.
And there's no accountability for it.
Just gets all the credit.
When no credit is due.
Scott, Washington Township, New Jersey.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yeah, hey, Rush.
I've been a student of yours on EIB since 91.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Yeah.
You know how Obama said he wouldn't raise taxes on the average person, only the rich.
Well, what he said was that uh raise taxes on 95% of the American people.
Well, anyway, uh, you know, cigarette taxes went up 60 cents per pack.
And I'm a cigar smoker, and each cigar went up 60 cents.
I can no longer afford the average cigar I used to smoke.
Now I have to smoke a uh a cheaper, less tasty cigar.
Mm-hmm.
Well, have a couple drinks, you won't notice the difference.
Of course, the tax on booze has gone up too.
Uh, well, I don't drink, so then you're screwed.
Yeah, well, you're screwed, and you've got to get used to the worthless taste of the cheaper cigars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I o uh, yeah.
Uh I also drive uh an SUV.
I have a family of six and a German Shepherd, and we need we need a big vehicle to go wherever we need to go.
Better enjoy it while you can.
Pretty soon the car you drive is going to be big enough for you and the dog.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, and finally, uh, I'm a former Navy pilot, and I took an oath to uh defend the Constitution from uh enemies, both foreign and domestic, and it looks like we might have a domestic uh enemy.
What did you fly when you're with the Navy?
H-46, uh helicopters, uh big twin rotor helicopters.
Wow, cool.
A 46 or A26, did you say?
H46, isn't it?
H.46 helicopters.
I'll look them up.
Yeah, it's it's like the Army Chinook.
It's a little smaller, a little faster.
So here's a man, ladies and gentlemen, who served his country in the United States Navy as an SUV with a German shepherd and six family members.
He was told by the president of the United States that his taxes would not go up, and now he's smoking.
Cigars essentially made from tobacco swept off the tobacco room floor.
Because they're cheaper.
This is a good lesson.
Everybody's taxes are going up.
Everybody's.
There's not one person in this country whose taxes, federal taxes, are not going up.
Quick timeout, thanks to the call, Scott.
We'll be back.
Wrap it up after this.
By the way, Steve Gilbert at Sweetness and Light.com informs me that a 28-year-old freeloader in Bedford, Ohio, Cleveland suburb on the school board there is a Democrat.
Not that we really had any doubts about it, but uh he is a Democrat.
So happy to have that uh little information to add to you as we wrap up another excursion into broadcast excellence today, folks.
Sorry if you missed any of it, but if you did, you can always catch a replay of it or transcripts of the important parts at Rush Limbaugh.com later this afternoon.
