Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
No, no, no, no.
I don't think it is courage.
I don't think of it as courage at all.
And somebody Snurdly talking to me here, uh, people telling him that they can't believe how much courage I have speaking out against Obama.
It's not courage, Mr. Snerdley.
It's actually love.
I'll explain this here in just a second.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program.
We're back at it at 800 282.
2882.
If you want to appear on the program, this is the EIB network and the nation's most listened to radio talk show.
Great to have you here.
We uh we have an exciting three hours straight ahead for you.
Snerdley says he's got so many people, I can't believe how much courage Rush has.
And I get this note from HR today before the programs to a lot of lot of reaction to yesterday's show, and particularly the first uh hour, hour and a half.
You know, we need to put that on YouTube.
I forgot to tell Coco that.
We need to encode that uh for the ditto camp video yesterday, put it out on YouTube.
Any rate, uh got this note from from HR.
I said, guy I frequently talked to said, your boss wanted Obama to fail.
Guy said that to me when I said Obama's taking his lumps on the economy.
HR told the guy Rush wanted the president's plan to spend your great grandchildren into debt to fail.
Because Rush knew Obama's plan wouldn't work.
You think Russia's happy about somebody not working?
We're spending money on shovels you won't get paid to see on bureaucracies you don't even know about, projects you'll never see, and if you do see them, not until 2010, and you still have unemployment rocketing.
How about giving the American people their money back so they can pay their mortgage, buy products from companies that employ you and your neighbor, hold on to jobs, create tax revenue for the blessed government you hold so dear.
You want the private sector to recover Obama's spending money down the rat hole of government.
Come on.
Um by the way, ladies and gentlemen, at Rush Limbaugh.com.
I didn't know that the my acceptance speech receiving the Freedom of Speech Award at Talkers Magazine Saturday was being videotaped.
But Newsmax was there.
Chris Ruddy and the boys were there, and they videotaped it, and we have linked to it now at Rush Limbaugh.com.
And it's only 10 minutes.
I got a note from my brother.
How in hell uh you manage to keep your remarks to ten minutes.
It's brevity is the soul of wit.
I'm stick speaking to about their three or four hundred uh uh radio people in the audience, and I'm talking about freedom of speech and so forth.
Uh and uh it's just ten minutes.
You can uh you can link to it whenever you have time.
But this this business of uh courage, and it was the linking of that video that reminded me of this.
Um I'm not I'm not trying to uh defuse or deflect a compliment with that uh about it being courage, but I I don't I don't think you know I don't have to to grab hold of myself and say, okay, it's time to get your guts in gorder now.
Time to be by but you know, we be courageous here, be brave.
I don't look at that way at all.
Um I look at at um what I do here every day is uh a function of love.
Uh I love the United States of America.
I love the people who make it work.
I love the ability to speak.
I'm in the free speech business.
I don't take it for granted.
I love being able to say when I say you know what else I love?
I love not being afraid of what people say about me after I say what I think.
I love not being affected by critics.
I love it.
Took me a while to learn it, but I now love it.
So it's uh this whole, my whole career, this whole radio program is a labor of love, if you want to call it that.
But I really I don't I don't look at it as courage.
Uh Coco, the webmaster said, you know, you really need to post this this little speech of yours because you know, so many people tell me, he's talking to me now.
So many people tell me they're they're just afraid to speak out uh about Obama.
I understand that.
You're surrounded by uh but by brain-dead Democrats and liberals who voted for the guy, or people who are not even necessarily Democrats or liberals, they just voted for the guy.
They still have this this cult-like devotion to love for him.
And uh so you're afraid to speak.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
As I say in this speech, I don't want to give it away because you ought to watch it, but you know, the uh the the counter, the the the the way to react to assaults on free speech is cut start shouting louder.
You know, it's more free speech.
More speech, not kowtowed, don't respond to critics and uh and this kind of thing.
Al Gore is uh gonna find out here, you know, he's got two of his journalists imprisoned, sentenced to 12 years of hard labor in North Korea.
Uh one of these is uh uh Lucy Ling's sister.
She used to be on the View, and uh Al Gore, I guess gonna do something to try to get these uh journalists released.
They work for his network, current TV.
I guess Al Gore is going to find out if global warming is more of a threat to the world than terrorism, as he claims.
He claims that global warming is the bigger threat.
These two reporters' lives he's being sent to negotiate for are not in danger of the ice caps melting.
They are in danger of being worked to death and beaten to death by a communist tyrannical terrorist-oriented regime.
I got this great email from uh from a guy in in Gilbert, Arizona, his name is Tim.
Dear Rush, after finishing listening to your enthralling first hour yesterday, I hooked up my iPod to my powerful audio system.
I turned up the volume.
I opened all the doors and windows so my neighbors could hear, and I played it again.
And hear it they did.
My neighbors came out into their backyards to listen, and I can tell you, many of them had never heard anything like what you were saying.
It was fantastic.
I would love to have seen that.
I would love to Gilbert, Arizona, for a guy to hook it up to his massive audio system and blast it all through the uh the neighborhood.
You know, folks, what one of the things I have um I have done in continuing our discussion of yesterday about how President Obama is destroying the United States economy, whether by accident or by design, he is destroying the U.S. economy.
By the way, polling numbers on the economy, he's in trouble.
He's starting to lose some ground here.
It's starting to take hold, I think.
It's no time to celebrate here.
It's time to keep up the pressure.
But uh, you know, because you what I what I've done here, I went back, he made a YouTube speech on January 10th.
This was President elect Obama.
And if you go back and you listen to President elect Obama in January of this year, selling his stimulus plan to the nation.
It's hard.
It is hard to listen to it.
Because even then, there was time to help the economy and to protect jobs.
It's just five months ago, and there was time to make sure that he wasn't gonna do what he what he ended up doing.
It's hard to listen to this because the opposition should have mounted in all sectors, not just here, at that point.
In this address to the nation, President elect Obama declared that he had assembled a brilliant economic team who had all the answers, and they would turn the economy around with millions of new jobs in every sector, and he said 90% of the new jobs would come from the private sector.
Barack Obama, who has never and had never run anything in his life, sounded self-assured.
You're gonna hear it.
I got sound bites.
I went and I went and dug it up.
Self-assured, calm, smug, proud in this address, proud of his promises, proud of himself.
His words would begin the healing help was on the way.
It was five months ago.
We can now revisit his speech.
We can assess the results.
And remember, as a response to this obvious train wreck of a plan.
We knew it back then on January 10th, and we told everybody within our earshot that this was a train wreck, that this was a disaster waiting to happen.
And anybody with a brain, and anybody with a modicum understanding Or knowledge of history knew that what he was proposing was a disaster.
A literal train wreck.
And that's when I wrote my bipartisan stimulus plan, presented on January 29th, that ended up running as an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
Let me take a break here.
We'll come back, and I've got, let me see.
I broke this down into uh three, four six sound bites from the January 10th Obama speech, promising Nirvana, promising utopia.
It's just fascinating, but it's difficult.
At the same time to go back five months and listen.
Which we will do together when we come back after this brief EIB obscene profit timeout.
You know, folks, it's funny how uh Sarah Palin's future is so much brighter than Katie Kurick's.
Katie Curick's CBS evening news ratings uh have fallen to an all-time low since Nielsen began taking television ratings.
CBS evening news has fallen to an all-time low.
Sarah Palin was the center of attention at the big Republican dinner last night where Newt Gingrich was the keynote speaker.
CNN very, very approvingly reports Newt Gingrich was the keynote speaker at Monday night's fundraising dinner for the Senate and House Republican campaign committees, but it was Sarah Palin who stole the show.
She was invited to speak and accepted.
She was disinvited to speak and said, okay.
They invited her to speak again and disinvited her, and she showed up anyway, but did not speak.
People were afraid, I guess, that she would steal the show from the podium.
Uh Sarah Palin's future is uh is bright.
You know what one of the things that Newt said last night?
Obama has failed.
Obama has failed.
Remember when I first said, I hope Obama fails?
Remember how the Republican establishment cringed?
Oh, no, no, nobody wants.
And I made the point in the interview to Hannity last week.
What in the world is so difficult to understand?
Everybody knew.
Everybody knew what I meant at the time.
I wanted what has happened not to happen.
When I say I wanted Obama to fail, I meant that I wanted what he's done not to have happened.
I wanted somebody to stop it.
He is destroying the U.S. economy.
All of you people who said you want and you hope on our side, you hope Obama succeeds.
Is this what you meant?
You want a destroyed economy.
You want a bleak future for children and grandchildren of parents today.
Do you want the United States government running and designing car companies?
Do you want is that this is do you want two million jobs lost since he took office?
1.8 million to be precise.
Do you want an unemployment rate of over 10%?
Do you want an economy that some would describe as as bad as the Great Depression?
Is that what you wanted?
Because that's how that's what he succeeded in doing.
And that was his plan.
Let's go back and listen to the YouTube speech.
By the way, Coco tells me we are in coding yesterday's first hour, maybe first hour and a half, for YouTube.
We don't know how long it's gonna take, but we're gonna YouTube it.
We're gonna get it up there.
January 10th YouTube channel, Barack Obama, president elect, gave his weekly address.
Here's a portion of his comments.
Our first job is to put people back to work and get our economy working again.
This is an extraordinary challenge, which is why I've taken the extraordinary step of working, even before I take office, with my economic team and leaders of both parties on an American recovery and reinvestment plan that will call for major investments to revive our economy, create jobs, and lay a solid foundation for future growth.
It was an extraordinary plan.
He is exactly right.
It was extraordinary in that Pelosi and Reed wrote it.
Let us not forget Harry Reed, Nancy Pelosi wrote his plan.
The Republicans were shut out.
They were not involved in writing the plan.
Nobody read the plan after it was written.
Millions of jobs have been lost since Obama's revival plan was passed.
1.8 million.
Is what we're seeing today what he meant by a solid foundation.
Five months ago, and people five months ago thought that circumstances today would not be what they are.
People thought that people were going to be going back to work and that people's home values were going to rise.
And it isn't happening.
Five months ago, listen to this stuff.
Here's the next soundbite.
Families across America are feeling the pinch as they watch debts mount, bills pile up, and savings disappear.
These numbers are a stark reminder that we simply cannot continue on our current path.
If nothing's done, economists from across the spectrum tell us that this recession could linger for years, and the unemployment rate could reach double digits.
Ha!
Ha ha!
You just have to laugh.
And once again, the strawman, if nothing is done, nobody was saying don't do anything.
Economists from across the spectrum tell us this recession could linger for years.
If nothing is done.
We have people talking about a depression now.
Some of his acolytes are saying we've bottomed out.
I and we may be seeing the end of things here, but double-digit unemployment is still in the future.
Economists from across the spectrum tell us this recession could linger for years, the unemployment rate could reach double digits.
It has not because we didn't do anything, because Obama inflicted a plan that is causing havoc and destruction on the U.S. economy.
Then this next little bite's only four seconds.
Listen fast.
It's not too late to change course, but only if we take immediate and dramatic action.
Now, what he was describing was we got to again, he's dumping on Bush and dumping on his predecessors.
He has made the situation worse.
He did not inherit a mess.
He has created one.
We were not in a mess.
It was all trumped up.
We didn't need TARP.
It was not that pressing.
We didn't need all these financial bailouts.
It would have been very simple to slow the slide.
We have a cyclical economy.
If you want to bring the economy back, you put more money in the hands of people who make the economy work, and that's us.
The American people, not put it in the hands of bureaucrats from Washington to state capitals all over the country.
By the way, Oakland, California.
The mayor there, Ron Red Dellums thinking of filing bankruptcy in Oakland, California.
And you know, when you're going to spend stimulus money on local businesses like my Muslim bakery, is it any wonder that your town's gonna go bankrupt?
Once again, a liberal Democrat running an American city into the ground with the help of Barack Obama's economic policies.
Here's the next bite.
We have uh three more to go here.
I asked my nominee for chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, Dr. Christina Roomer, and the Vice President's elects chief economic advisor, Dr. Jared Bernstein, to conduct a rigorous analysis of this plan and come up with projections of how many jobs it will create and what kind of jobs they will be.
The report confirms that our plan will likely save or create three to four million jobs.
Ninety percent of these jobs will be created in the private sector.
So smug.
He is so smug here.
Uh doctors working on this.
They know how to save the patient.
They haven't saved any jobs, they have destroyed jobs.
They haven't created any jobs, they've destroyed them.
Ninety percent figure is a joke, but he's so confident he had all the answers.
He still is, while he is wrecking the economy.
A rigorous analysis of my plan to come up with the projections of how many jobs it'll create and what kind of jobs there'll be.
Create or save three to four million jobs.
By the way, Bill McGurn, Great Peace Wall Street Journal Today, and a number of other people also have made this point that this business of saving jobs is a nothing but a political trick because it can't be calculated.
It has never been calculated officially by any government agency, labor department, or anybody else.
You can't know.
It's impossible to know.
It's simply a way for the administration to say, even after they've lost 1.8 million jobs, they've saved five.
We're doing so great.
We've saved five million.
We might have lost five, but we've saved five.
Actually, we've lost one point eight.
It's all a lie.
It's all political BS.
It is Clinton-esque.
No jobs are being saved.
Jobs are being lost.
He has not created or saved anywhere near three to four million jobs five months into his plan.
Here's the next bite.
The jobs we create will be in businesses large and small across a wide range of industries.
And they'll be the kind of jobs that don't just put people to work in the short term, but position our economy to lead the world in the long term.
Jobs we create, once again, smug, false.
His plan has destroyed jobs.
Caterpillar, caterpillar, the perfect example of all the companies.
His plan was supposed to help caterpillar, shovel ready jobs.
We're gonna start rebuilding roads and bridges.
We need heavy equipment people to do that.
So we need heavy equipment manufacturers to be working full time to build the equipment that the shovel ready jobs are going to do.
And his little announcement yesterday that we gonna start spending even faster now to create 600,000 jobs immediately.
Those are all short-term jobs that aren't going to lead the world in anything.
The problem is we're heading down the path we're not going to lead the world in anything.
We're not going to lead the world in technology.
We're not going to lead the world in science.
We're not going to lead the world in medicine if this man gets his way.
The Chinese are scared to death about our debt.
There's another story about it today.
It's a mess.
Everybody involved knows this is a mess.
Party loyalty and the desire for power is compromising.
Honest analysis on the part of millions of official people in Washington who know better than to sit idly by and watch this happen.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have at Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
Last soundbite here from President elect Obama, January 10th.
This was his YouTube address to the nation.
And I am confident that if we come together and summon that great American spirit once again, we will meet the challenges of our time and write the next great chapter in our American story.
He's not confident.
People are confusing Barack Obama's outsized ego for confidence.
His ego is such, his own messianic complex is such, he thinks that he can convince us to happily sacrifice and not oppose anything for his abject failure.
His abject failure will do the U.S. economy.
Or you might say his success in implementing his plan will lead to failure on our part.
So the next chapter's being written.
It's being written in red ink.
This smug, inexperienced, egocentric fool has to be stopped.
This has to be said now.
He's had five months with no check and no balance on virtually anything he has done.
He wanted nothing to do with bipartisanship.
All of those of you who believed that we were going to get unity.
He had all the answers.
He did not inherit a stimulus bill.
He created it.
He wanted it.
And now our children and grandchildren will inherit Obama's deficits, high taxes, and inflation.
If you listen to how he's speaking, this is again January 10th, before he was even inaugurated.
He speaks as if he's going through the motions.
That his real agenda has nothing to do with improving the economy, and this is what everybody knows.
This is what it with the guts to admit it knows that his real agenda has nothing to do with improving the economy because history is clear on how that's done, and this isn't it.
He is plowing ahead with his transformation of government regardless of circumstances, including economic conditions.
He had an agenda from the day he started running for president and even prior.
And whatever circumstances existed in the country Were irrelevant.
He's going to implement that agenda, and he's doing it, and in the process of doing it, he is illustrating that his agenda is destructive.
He is destroying the greatest engine of freedom to ever exist on planet Earth.
And there's nobody stopping him.
He mentioned Jared Bernstein in one of these bites that we just played.
He said, I asked my nominee for chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, Dr. Christina Roma, and the vice president elect's chief economic advisor, that's Biden's chief economic advisor, Dr. Jared Bernstein, to conduct a rigorous analysis of my plan, come up with projections of how many jobs it'll create, three to four million jobs, 90% of them in the private sector, right?
So yesterday, at the White House, Vice President Biden's chief economic advisor Jared Bernstein held a press conference to talk about the new unemployment rate and the economic stimulus package.
And during the QA, Jake Tapper of ABC says in January, you and Dr. Roomer issued your recommendation for the stimulus.
It turned out to be rather optimistic.
I think it's fair to say.
You said without the stimulus, the unemployment rate will be just over eight percent.
Obviously, it's nine point four percent with your stimulus.
How do you explain that?
That was before we had fourth quarter results on uh GDP, which uh uh we later found out was contracting at an annual rate of six percent, far worse than we expected at that time.
Were this plan uh not to uh be implemented uh as I've described, and as uh Dr. Romer and I uh articulated back then, in the absence of the plan, job losses would have been deeper from whatever level they started.
Job losses would have been deeper, the unemployment rate would have been by uh our estimates by the end of next year, would have been between one and a half and two points higher than it otherwise will be.
So those estimates that we are touting today and the estimates that you hear us talk about, that's the difference between what would have happened to the job market, the unemployment rate, were this plan not in effect, and the actual outcomes of jobs.
Now, looking back, it was clearly uh too optimistic.
This is flat out Pep.
This is rigorole, this is BS, plain and simple BS.
You just heard Biden's economic guru explain that their estimates on unemployment were wrong because it was Bush's fault, the fourth quarter of 2008 was worse than they thought.
And by the way, it'd be worse than ever if we hadn't done what we did.
That they were too optimistic.
They are not optimistic at all.
They talk optimism, they implement plans that are based upon pessimism.
They implement a plan and plan after plan that is destroying the U.S. economy.
It is destroying the opportunity for the American dream for millions of Americans who don't yet realize that their pursuit of the American dream is in the process of being destroyed.
They will lew and say uh learn this, sadly, soon enough.
This is how it's done.
Hey, we didn't know how bad the Bush left on.
I knew they're gonna do that.
We're gonna do that with Iraq that we're gonna do it with Club Git.
No, well, we didn't know how bad it was.
Bush didn't really tell us that economy was so bad we had no clue.
Our plan, well, if we hadn't done our plan, it'd be even worse.
His plan has made it worse the last five months, and that is why I have gone back to this January 10th speech to illustrate.
His plan has made it worse.
Obama is succeeding.
He's getting everything he wants.
We want our president to succeed.
Well, this, my friends, is our president succeeding.
Bye-bye, American Dream.
Bye bye.
A demand-command economy, bye-bye, free market economy.
Now, another bite from Jared Bernstein.
Chuck Todd of Government Run NBC said, can you give us a little better accounting on the 150,000 jobs are going to be created or saved?
It's a number I know I've heard a couple of times.
What is the accounting on that?
Now, this is a great.
If George Bush had tried ever, at one any any single time, during his eight years of presidency to talk about the jobs saved, he would have been laughed out of the briefing room, and so would have his press spokesman.
And if in the midst of unemployment reaching none point 9.4 percent, on the way to double digit 10 percent, in the midst of 1.8 million jobs having been lost since Obama took office.
If George Bush faced the same circumstances and touted 150,000 jobs saved or created, he would have been laughed at and editorialized out of the office.
But Chuck Todd from government run, NBC, could you clarify this uh for 150,000 jobs?
Give it a little bitter accounting.
Chuck Todd so wants to be able for government run NBC to be able to report this accurately from Obama's standpoint.
So he's asking for help here.
Please, Dr. Bernstein, 150,000 jobs.
I don't uh uh please help me understand so that government run NBC that I work for can help you here.
We know uh how fast the plan is spending out.
We know which sectors, and if actually, if you go back to the uh Romer Bernstein report, you'll see that we actually have estimates by sector, by industry, but also by energy, construction, uh, infrastructure, tax cuts.
150,000 are just based on these estimates so far of what you guys projected out of how this money would be spent?
Correct.
So we don't know exactly.
The 150,000 jobs, it comes precisely out of the methodology I was just describing.
That is, we know spend out.
We know the types of spend out.
We can assign multipliers to different parts of the plan.
For example, tax cuts generate a smaller multiplier than direct government spending.
Once you know the spend out and the type of spending that you're engaged in, then you can derive an estimate of how many jobs you believe you created relative to what would have occurred in the job market were you not doing that spending.
Translation, it's a wild guess.
Worse, translation, I am going to calculatingly lie to you in a way that you will believe because you are part of the government run media.
I've got I'm gonna get to it, folks.
This would just give me time here.
When he said that tax cuts generate a smaller multiplier than direct government spending, that is absurd, and even Christina Romer, before she joined the Obama administration, said so.
That tax cuts generate something like a buck and a half to two bucks of revenue and economic output where government spending is a negative.
And yet she has thrown away everything she knows as an economist to serve Barack Obama.
So basically what you just heard here was Jared Bernstein admitting that the jobs, quote unquote, created and saved, are just extrapolations from the amount of money they spend.
And what they think spending that much has created.
In other words, it's totally made up.
There is no such formula.
There is no record kept on jobs saved.
It's not possible to know.
God may not even know.
That's how impossible it is to know.
Tax cuts generate a smaller multiplier than direct government spending.
Once you know the spendout, the type of spending, then you can derive an estimate of how many jobs you believe you created.
What's the multiplier?
Who is the multiplier?
Is there a multiplier czar in the White House?
One more Jared Bernstein, but I think there's one more.
Yes.
This time the question came from uh Bloomberg News's Hans Nichols, or Hans Nichols, finally says those summer jobs at 125,000.
Are you counting that toward the 600,000 jobs you're going to be saving or creating?
Yes.
Okay, are you also going to be counting that towards the 3.5 total goal?
That is, yeah, that that the 3.5 is the uh the 3.5 is uh an estimate of jobs created or saved by the end of uh of next uh yeah.
Why what you're obviously acknowledging are temporary jobs over the summer, which won't last three months.
How that's getting counted in the 3.5.
Thank you.
Now that's a good question.
The the 3.5 million jobs are what economists call full-time equivalent jobs.
So those 125 would not count as a full 125.
Two part time jobs count as one full time equivalent job.
You know how ridiculous this is.
We have lost one point eight million jobs since Barack Obama took office and put in the got the stimulus bill passed.
We are at 9.4% unemployment.
Do you believe these exchanges?
Do you think reporters would be asking for clarification on 600,000 jobs created or saved?
Where in a Republican president who came up with this fallacious notion?
Absolutely no way.
This is the government-run media asking for guidance on how to report this so they can sell it to their viewers, readers, customers, whatever.
This is a wild guy.
These people in the White House, Jared Bernstein, Christina Romer, dirty little secret.
They know that they have been tasked with destroying the private sector of the United States economy.
They know it.
They are employees of Obama.
They have to be loyal.
They are out there spewing absolute drivel.
That makes no common sense.
They admit their guessing.
These are estimates based on the spending.
They're speaking in such detail about 125,000 here, summer jobs, 600,000 overall.
1.8 million jobs have been lost.
9.4% unemployment.
All of this is irrelevant.
It matters only in that it is propaganda from the White House to the Gubberun Media to you.
Back after this.
All right, more on the goblety gook from Jared Bernstein, who just announced the formula the Obama administration is using.
He admits the Obama job plan makes no sense.
There is no there.
Jared Bernstein's brilliant formula was established when he brilliantly estimated an 8% unemployment rate, and now we're at 9.4%, and he blames the fourth quarter that he didn't know about for his formula being wrong.
This is Joe Biden's economic guru.
I'd rather hear from Biden's guy at the hair club for men.
That guy probably has more knowledge of economics in the real world than Jared Bernstein has.
And hey, Chuck Todd.
How many homeless people are there today?
Have you asked about that?
Brian Williams ditto.
You're busy driving Obama around to get burgers.
Did you visit any homeless shelters?
Remember when you guys used to do that during the Reagan administration during the recession?
Remember that?
Trying to drum up all the homeless there were?
Even during George Bush 41?
I mean, with all these foreclosures out there, with all this unemployment, where are all these people living?
Could you do a story on that?
The homeless numbers are gotta be skyrocketing here, but we're not going to hear about it.
What about rising food prices?
What about rising in high unemployment?
How many children are going hungry every night in America?
Could you cover that story like you did during the Bush years?
Could you cover that story like you did during the Reagan years?
I want to know how many homeless there are.
How many children are starving?
I want to know if Obama's going over to Lafayette Park and stealing the homeless's cans of beans and taking them back to the White House and feeding them to his kids, as you said about Reagan.
I want to hear about all the economic disaster.
We got 9.4% unemployment.
Where are these people living, all these foreclosures?
How many children would have been fed if Obama had not taken his trip to New York with his wife for a play?
Remember all those comparison stories you used to do, guys?
Bush going to play golf here, Bush going there, Reagan going there, how many homeless people could be fed?
Remember the school lunch program and how kids were gonna starve because of Newt Gingrich and the Republicans cutting the school lunch program when there were no cuts whatsoever during the great economy of the 1990s?
Where are the stories on the hardships of America brought about by Barack Obama's economic policies?
As state-run media, I guess you're not charged with doing that kind of reporting.
As government-run media, you're not only interested any longer about the hardships created by administration policies.
You just want to celebrate at the feet of the king.
And you want to be in the loyal entourage, and you want to be treated fairly, you want to be in the inn.
Oh, there's an entire story that is the destruction of the United States economy.
There are real people who don't get the travel on private jets to take their wife to a play and dinner in New York on somebody else's dime.
There are people who don't travel to Paris and snub foreign leaders have another plan paid for by somebody else, bring the wife and kids over, and then go out on a date paid for by other people, and then go back to yourself and leave the wife and kids to party and sightsee and fly back on a separate plane, paid for by other people.
There are real people in this country who have lost their jobs, who have lost their homes.
There are children who obviously must be going hungry.
It's so bad that when they go to McDonald's and want a happy meal, and the fries are left out, or they're all chicken McNuggets, they call 911.
This is left to local news to tell us about.
This is a crisis in the making, the destruction of the United States middle class.
And what do we get?
We get news stories from the government-run media about what a wonderful guy Obama and his wife is, and how great she looks in a sleeveless sweater.
Well, what about the starving kids?
And what about the homeless?
What about people losing their hair who don't have access to plugs?
Like Joe Biden.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
These poor economists that work for Obama, Jared Bernstein, Christina Romer, They actually are rent economists.
They come from rent and economists.
They will say whatever they have to say, no matter how nuts, no matter how deceitful it is, because Obama hired them.
In other words, they'll sell their soul for a seat at power.
