Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
What a week, folks.
What a week.
It has been here on the left coast.
At Rush Limboy and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and we wrap up the week.
That means it's Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Man, oh man, that's so old.
You hear how young Johnny Donovan said.
Actually, he sounded like he was alive there.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's Rush Lindbaugh, and this is the EIB Network at Open Line Friday.
Uh, one of our favorite days of the week here, because when we go to the phones, uh, the content of the program is all up to you.
I sort of get out of the way.
Whatever you want to talk about on Friday is fair game.
Not the case on Thursday, but on Friday, one of the one of the biggest career risks ever taken by a major media figure in the history of American media and media figures.
Uh, telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, and the uh email address L Rushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
We're all weeweed up here, folks.
Uh, President Obama yesterday, he was uh the Democrat National Committee headquarters.
He spoke to supporters via a webcast, and here's a portion of uh what he said.
Sometimes it seems like one loud voice can drown out uh all the civil, sensible voices out there.
Nothing's more powerful than millions of voices calling for change.
That's how we won this election.
Uh, we've been through this before.
Some of you were involved when we were in Iowa.
Thirty points down.
And all of Washington said, Oh, uh, oh, it's over.
Hand wringing and angst and teeth mashing, and and then last year, just about this time, you'll recall that the Republicans had just nominated uh their vice presidential candidate, and the media was obsessed with it, and cable was twenty-four hours a day, and Obama's lost his mojo, and you remember all that?
There's something about August going into September, where everybody in Washington gets all weeweed up.
Everybody gets all weeweed up in Washington.
Here's a guy who's got the bully pulpit.
He started to sound like Clinton, starting to feel sorry for himself.
He's got the bully pulpit.
He's on television every day, twice a day.
He's doing these web things.
He's on a phone with rabbis and preachers trying to co-opt them.
Uh, and he says, uh, he says here, uh, sometimes seems like one loud voice can drown out all the civil, sensible voices out there.
Whoa, what is he talking about there?
Who?
Which one loud voice?
Who could that be?
Hmm.
Anybody have any ideas who he could be referring to out there?
Uh I think, ladies and gentlemen, he's uh he's referring to me.
Now, everybody's all wee weed up, he's lost his mojo, still got uh Sarah Palin on the brain, Charlie Cook.
This in the Politico yesterday afternoon, uh, after we finished the program, uh Charlie Cook, one of the best, it says here.
Political handicappers in the business sent out a special update to Charlie Cook political report subscribers that should send shivers down Democrat spines.
Of course, the thing wrong with that is they don't have any spines for shivers to go down.
But regardless, reviewing recent polling in the 2010 election landscape, Charlie Cook can envision a scenario in which Democrat house losses could exceed 20 seats.
I uh I think it could be higher than that.
Uh Charlie Cook said these data confirm anecdotal evidence in our own view that the situation this summer has slipped completely out of control for President Obama and Congressional Democrats.
Today, the Cook Political Reports Congressional Election Model, based on individual races, is pointing towards a net Democrat loss of between six and twelve seats, but our sense is that's far too low.
Many veteran congression election watchers, including Democrats, report an eerie sense of deja vu, with a consensus forming that the chances of Democrat losses going higher than 20 seats is just as good as the chances of Democrat losses going lower than 20 seats.
Now, if they're talking 20, it actually means 40.
I mean, there they are in big trouble.
And here's Obama talking about this one loud voice drowning out all the civil sensible voices out there.
Uh And yell the teeth gnashing, and about this time they had the nominated vice president, media obsessed with it, cable 24 hours a day.
Yeah, Mr. President, ripping her to shreds 24 hours ago.
What do you mean media going crazy with it?
They were trying to destroy her.
I mean, it was everybody was scared to death, if they're still trying to destroy her.
And he says, Remember all that?
Something about August going to September, everybody says wee weed up.
Well, I'm wondering if that was on the teleprompter.
And because he was speaking there in a uh uh.
Well, I guess he was at the headquarters.
That means he had a teleprompter over there.
There's no question about it.
It's a related story.
Uh what recovery?
This is from CNBC, a new home market remains in deep slump.
When it comes to the economic recovery, real estate and housing businesses are in very different places, though sales of existing homes appear to be bouncing back as uh cheap foreclosure properties attract vulture investors and first-time buyers.
The market for new homes remains stuck below sea level.
It's a very one-dimensional recovery, said the National Association of Home Builder CEO Gerald Howard.
The rest of the housing market's still in a recessionary stage.
So potential new home buyers are weeweeing themselves out there.
What so what if if if uh unemployment's pushing 10%?
So what if Obama and his tax cheating treasury secretary of promised tax increases?
So what if the Democrats are pushing cap and tax and books for buck bucks for butchers?
I think we need to rename his health care plan, because he'd got cash for clunkers, books or bucks for butchers.
Because the doctor's getting 30 grand for chopping off a foot.
Only a coward would fear a sluggish economy and a continued recession.
Uh and then Americans have weeweed themselves over Obama's wasteful spending and central planning.
What's wrong with the American people?
Everybody's wee weeing so Americans who have lost their jobs.
Are they wee weed up?
Are they wee weed up over the stimulus bill?
Hundreds of thousands of jobs are lost every month.
What was it, another 568,000?
Millions of jobs since Obama was immaculated.
The president has destroyed the budget for generations.
He promised unemployment would not exceed 8% if the one trillion dollar porculus bill was passed.
It's uh now at 9.4%, probably go higher, according to the Obama administration.
And the American people are scared to death about the future because they do not trust the president.
He's lost it.
He can't get it back.
So are Americans wee weed up over the economy?
I mean, here's Obama talking about everybody in Washington, it's all wee-weed up.
He's the reason everybody's wee-weeing.
He's the reason.
He's got everybody all scared to death.
The Americans are wee weed up over the economy.
Maybe the uh maybe the state-controlled media today in a White House briefing could ask Baghdad Gibbs, Baghdad Bob Gibbs, if the uh if the uh American people are we wee weed up out there over uh everything, as well as people in Washington get wee weed up in uh in in August.
Are Americans seasoned citizens wee weed up over rationed health care?
Who's wee weed up?
I mean, he says people out there, everybody watching it gets wee-weeed up, but everybody's wee-weed up.
Hell, I'm wee weed up.
Uh I mean that's a great way to put it.
I've been wee-weeed up for it.
Speaking of losing trust.
This is uh from the ABC News Washington Post poll published today in the Washington Post.
Faith in Obama drops as reform fears rise.
Faith in Obama.
Public confidence in President Obama's leadership has declined sharply over the summer.
Um because of that one loud voice out there drowning out over the sensible civil voices.
And this is amid intensifying opposition to health care reform that threatens to undercut his attempt to enact major changes to the system.
Here are the numbers among all Americans, 49% now express confidence that Obama will make the right decisions for the country.
That's down from 60% at the 100-day mark.
That's you were like that's that is a plummet.
You don't Get that back.
And especially when you uh factor in the reasons that he has lost all this trust and people have lost faith, it's because he's not telling the truth.
He's all over the board.
There's no consistency to what he's saying.
People know more about this than he does.
He cannot hold up a health care bill and say, here's what's in it.
He can't say that right here.
It says we're not going to insure illegal immigrants.
We're just not going to do it.
By the speaking a question about that.
Yeah.
If illegal aliens are not going to get Obamacare, and he's been telling everybody that this week.
Why are the following groups lobbying for Obamacare via Health Care for America now?
Here are the groups.
The League of United Latin American Citizens, LULAC, the National Council of La Raza.
By the way, La Raza, the steering committee for Health Care for America now, the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health.
Sorry, the National Latina Institute for Taxpayer Funded Abortion.
If illegal immigrants are not going to get Obamacare, how come all of these Hispanic groups are lobbying for it?
And speaking of that, I guess I was remembering the other day.
Remember when he had that uh uh well you his appearance with McCain at Rick Warren's church out there, the saddleback church.
Uh remember he was asked of s what?
Saddle what?
Uh McCain was really good.
It was uh that that was back in the days when McCain sometimes supported his own party.
But that's another subject.
U.S. Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama sidestepped a pointed query about abortion on Saturday by mega pastor Rick Warren during a televised forum.
Asked at what point a baby gets human rights, Obama said, Well, whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with uh specificity, that's above my pay grade.
But now Obama's saying we are God's partners in matters of life.
And this is the kind of stuff that is causing people to lose faith in him.
We are partners, God's partners in matters of life, and well, when does a kid become a kid?
When does a baby get human rights above my pay grade?
And yet here's a guy who claims to have all the answers for Americans and their health care.
Uh as uh challenges to Obama's initiatives have mounted over the summer because of that one lone voice drowning out all the civil sensible discourse in Washington.
Pessimism in the nation's direction has risen 55%.
55% see things as pretty seriously on the wrong track.
That's up from 48% in April.
So look at this.
The uh 49% express confidence versus 60% express confidence in Obama at the 100-day mark.
Forty-nine percent now say they think he'll be able to spearhead significant improvements in the system.
That's down nearly 20 points from before he took office.
I mean, this is a major, major plummet.
And it is all happening because people lost faith, whatever they've lost trust.
He's not the guy they thought he was.
So after he talked about Washington being all wee weed up in the month of August, he continued talking about the uh problems he faces when he was at the Democrat National Committee headquarters yesterday.
Unfortunately, Washington is obsessed with the Snap Poll.
They are uh obsessed with what's you know uh what is played in on talk radio or what's said at a town hall meeting.
You can have twenty really civil, sensible town hall meetings, but if there's one where somebody's screaming, you know which one's gonna get on television.
Yeah, here's amazing.
He got the White House, he's got the Senate, he's got the House, he has every news network, he's got every newspaper, and yet talk radio, which of course means me, manages to ruin everything.
What a crybaby.
What an absolute crybaby.
And by the way, Mr. Obama, you are Washington.
When you sit there and say Washington's obsessed with the snap poll, uh, what's played on talk right?
You are Washington.
You and your party are Washington.
Quick timeout.
We're just getting rolling here, folks.
Uh, still in first gear.
Brief timeout, we'll be back.
We will continue in mere moments.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rushlin boy here in Los Angeles.
It's open line Friday.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
So we got the ABC News Washington Post poll, 49%, only 49%.
Less than 50% express confidence that Obama will make the right decisions for the country down from 60%.
George Stephanopoulos on the ABC News website today.
The biggest problem for President Obama in today's poll.
The ABC News Washington Post poll is this.
Only 49% of Americans are confident that he will make the right decisions.
Voters like Obama, but they're worried he's getting in over his head.
Blaming the Republicans are blocking health uh blocking health care will make Democrats feel better, but may turn off independents who are already abandoning Obama.
17-point drop in handling health care and overall job approval.
In fact, the best short-term antidote for Obama's a solid two-week vacation.
Give everybody a chance to cool down, get himself off of television, hope the economy slow men to continues.
You know, it isn't gonna work.
It isn't blaming Republicans here is not gonna work.
The bottom line is they can't stop anything.
I the the uh effort here to get a Republicans on board, obviously for bipartisanship to share some of the blame when the excrement hits the fan is what the uh what the Democrats are all about.
But uh, it ain't gonna fly.
I mean, people people the Republicans can't stop it, and and uh everybody knows this.
The Democrats are the power in Washington, D.C. Uh now here's Obama.
You can you can tell what really bugs him uh by listening to the things that he claims about.
Another sound bite from his uh little talk at the DNC headquarters yesterday.
There was a poll done, some of you may have seen.
Wall Street Journal, NBC poll.
Turns out that a huge proportion of the American people are convinced, a that uh somehow health reform means illegal immigrants are gonna get health care.
Well B that it's a government takeover of health care, C that all the money's uh gonna be funding abortions.
Yeah.
D, uh that uh but what's the other one?
Death panels?
We're all gonna be, you know, uh pulling the plug on grandma.
Now come on.
Presidential now come on.
Uh come on.
Uh let me tell you something.
Huge portion of American people are convinced somehow health reform means illegal immigrants are gonna get health care.
They already do, and they are going to get it again.
I ask if they're not gonna get it, how come the League of United Latin American Citizens, the National Council of La Raza, and the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health are all lobbying for this.
They're all supporting it.
Uh a government takeover of health care.
Well, hell's bells.
That's the only reason he's doing it.
Of course it's a government takeover of health care.
Who in the hell is he out there talking about running it?
Himself and the federal government.
Uh, all the money is uh gonna be funding abortions?
Uh why is Planned Parenthood supporting this?
And we're not gonna be pulling the plug on grandma.
We only spend money on the sick, and we're going to ration that care.
So what we have here is the president of the United States.
Now think of this.
The president of the United States has finally identified his true enemies.
Strawmen, scapegoats, villains, doctors, rumor mongers, the greedy, that one lone voice overpowering the sensible and civil, and that one lone voice, obviously, moi.
Conspirators, bitter clingers, Republicans, angry mobs, ditto heads.
Mr. President, could we just talk about substance?
Could you just talk about the substance of your plan?
Please.
You can sit there and you can go up to these sycophant Democrats, and you can say, hey, Yeah, how about the stupid American people?
Look what they've been led to believe.
Huh?
They believe everything about this is true.
Everything is true.
They've been made to believe it.
That's not how they're supposed to work.
We're supposed to get away with lying to them about this, but they believe it.
How about Mr. President, how about this?
How about you present a bill and we discuss it?
How about you go out there and hold up some pieces of paper that comprise your health care plan?
It's not enough for you to say we're not going to pull a plug on grandma.
I want you to show us the section and the page in your bill where it says we're not going to do that because the House has a version that says we are going to do it.
You know, to Obama, the devil is anybody who doesn't blindly follow him.
I think Obama's coming off as two levels before below Nixon, even on Nixon's best day.
One of my all-time favorite top ten tunes, 1965, Sir Douglas Quintet, and she's about a mover.
Everybody uh is asking me, how did it go with William Shatner yesterday?
Folks, it was like everything else this week.
I have simply had a blast out here.
We did the interview in a private home in Encino, California.
And uh it's a Shatner's show is raw nerve.
It's on AE.
I don't know when this particular episode's gonna air.
It's a 30-minute show with commercials, so that's 23 minutes of content.
We did an hour and 45 minutes.
And he had a unique setup.
We were sitting in chairs that were side by side, well, not quite side by side, facing each other, rather, with no table.
And they it was a four-camera shoot.
And the interview, you know, I I I said that he talks to his guests about everything other than their area of expertise.
But since I'm an expert in everything, everything was on the table.
So we we did discuss some political stuff.
We discussed uh environmental wackoism, uh, we discussed Obama's health care plan uh legacy, uh, what what what we will leave for our children and grandchildren.
And for example, Bill was uh concerned about the environment.
I want to make sure that uh we leave a clean world and so forth for our children and grandchildren.
Said, they'll if you really are worried about what you want to leave terms of this country for your kids and grandkids, then we have to defeat Obama and the Democrats.
And he said, How do you know?
How do you know all the time that you're right?
How do you know?
And you know, nobody's ever asked me that.
They just assume I'm right.
But he said, How do you know that you're right?
And I'm not gonna give away my answers or anything here, but it was a largely philosophical thing.
Bill Shatner's uh uh very philosophical guy, could get very deep.
Started out with family influences, uh, grandfather, my father, my uh my mother.
Uh, talked about uh what was it?
Brian Brad Bryant was there, Glicklig was there, our limbaugh family aide uh uh was there.
It was it just it was wide-ranging, it was all over there.
Truly, I mean, you hear Cliche wide-raging interview.
This uh this really was it was it was uh it was a gas, it was lots of fun.
We talked about the you know what makes great radio, theater of the mind.
People already have things in their mind before you add to it.
Uh how how did he asked me, how do you approach the notion that you're on radio and you know that you paint the picture, and I gave him my philosophical uh uh business broadcast expertise answered to that.
It was really, it really was a lot of fun, and it was a it was a unique setting.
It was a living room of a private home that uh was lit really well.
I I had a great time.
I mean, I'm gonna be eager to see it.
Normally, you know, I do television, eh, take her to leave it because I don't have that uh sense of how well I did as I do on radio, but this I felt really good about when it was um all over.
And as soon as we get an air date for it, uh we will of course pass it on to you.
Now, folks, Obama says there aren't death panels.
I poo-poo's the notion that there aren't death panels here.
The Wall Street Journal, an interesting uh report.
If President Obama wants to better understand Why America's discomfort with end of life discussions threatens to derail his health care reform.
He might begin with his own Department of Veterans Affairs, the VA.
And he'll quickly discover how government bureaucrats are greasing the slippery slope that can start with cost containment but quickly become a systematic denial of care.
Last year, bureaucrats at the VA's National Center for Ethics and Healthcare advocated a 52-page end-of-life planning document called Your Life, Your Choices.
The VA has a 52-page end of life planning document.
It has it has a name.
It's called the Death Book.
And what has happened here?
George W. Bush suspended the use of the death books last year.
Obama has reinstated the death book.
After the Bush White House took a look at how the document was treating complex health and moral issues, the VA on Bush's order suspended its use, but now Obama has resuscitated it.
And there is it's it's called your life, your choices.
That's what it's actually called, but it's a death book.
And it presents end-of-life choices in a way aimed at steering users toward predetermined conclusions.
There is a worksheet on page 21, and it lists various scenarios and asks users to then decide whether their own life would be not worth living.
I have page 21 right here.
Page 21 from the death book from the VA, reinstated by Obama, what makes your life worth living?
Instructions.
This exercise will help you think about and express what really matters to you.
For each row, check one answer to express how you would feel if this factor by itself described you.
And they're A through S here.
Here's A. I can no longer walk but get around in a wheelchair.
Life like this would be difficult but acceptable.
Worth living but just barely, not worth living, can't answer.
And the people reading the book are supposed to check off which of these things apply.
So A, I can no longer walk but get around in a wheelchair.
Eh, difficult I could take it.
It's worth living, but just barely not worth living.
B, I can no longer get outside.
I spend all day at home.
Can you?
You're asked to say, you know, to hell with it.
I don't want to, it's not worth living if I can't leave my house.
Hell.
What what what number C, I can no longer contribute to my family's well-being.
That's not worth living.
I am in severe pain most of the time.
I have severe discomfort most of the time, such as nausea, diarrhea, shortness of breath.
My God, that can happen when you're constipated.
So sitting here saying, okay, I'm constipated.
Life's not worth living.
Well, you don't have diarrhea when you're constipated until you do the fix.
I rely on a feeding tube to keep me alive.
That's not worth living.
I rely on kidney dialysis to keep me alive.
I rely on a breathing machine to keep me alive.
I need somebody to help take care of me all the time.
I can no longer control my bladder.
I can no longer control my bowels.
I live in a nursing home.
I live in a nursing home.
Yeah, that's difficult but acceptable.
Worth living, but just barely not worth living.
I can no longer think clearly.
I'm confused all the time.
Hell that describes half the population.
I can no longer recognize family and friends.
That sometimes could be a blessing.
I can no longer talk and be understood by others.
My situation causes severe emotional burden for my family, such as feeling worried or stressed all the time.
I'm a severe financial burden on my family.
I cannot seem to shake the blues.
And then there's a section other for write in.
Here are the instructions.
To help others make sense out of your answers.
Think about the following questions and be sure to explain your answers to your loved ones and your health care providers.
If you checked worth living but just barely for more than one factor, would a combination of these make your life not worth living?
If so, which factors?
If you checked not worth living, does this mean you would rather die than be kept alive?
If you checked, can't answer now.
What information or people do you need to help you decide?
What makes your life worth living?
And here are the things they want you to assess in the VA death book.
And Obama has the audacity to say that in his health care, and he reinstated this.
Bush killed it.
He reinstated it.
He has the audacity to say that there aren't anything called death panels or such things in his in his uh in his health care plan.
And he's asking veterans to basically say, you know what, I want to check out the hell with this.
I live in a nursing home.
Screw it.
Pull a plug.
Where's Dr. Cavorkian?
This thing is obsessed with death.
It's obsessed with you deciding or with some maybe some influence that your life isn't worth living.
There's nothing positive in this.
What would in these circumstances?
Nothing, it's all about what's it gonna take for us to get rid of you with you making the decision.
And by the way, regardless of your decision, we're gonna be making it for you because of money.
You're gonna become a budget statistic.
People's fears are, you know, this is simple.
This is not a complicated thing for people to understand.
And that's why he's having major problems with this.
The VA death book, brought back to life by President Barack Obama.
We'll be back.
Got an amazing series of sand sound bites coming up from the Charlie Rose show.
Uh he had a panel of people, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Ariana Huffington of the Huffing and Puffington Post, and of course Leslie's not Leslie Stahl was on C NBC today, but uh they're all they're all concerned.
Oh no, oh no, Obama is human after all.
That's what they're asking themselves, and you will hear this enlightened discussion after this.
So there he is, President Obama out there poo-pooing the notionary death panels in his own health care reform plan while complaining at the nation's wee weeing all over the place in August.
So the phones we go.
Open line Friday, Dorothy in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Great to have you here as first up.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
My name's Margie, not Dorothy.
Who what is it?
Margie.
Margie, and are you from Charlotte, North Carolina?
I am.
All right.
I just wanted to make sure that Dorothy had not hung up and we were answering an unscreened call.
Okay.
It's quite all right.
I only have one.
Because he's always getting people's names wrong like this.
I'm sorry.
I'm apologized for that, uh, Marjorie.
It's quite all right.
Is it Marjorie or Margie?
It's both.
Marjorie, I'm called Margie, though.
All right, fine.
That's one of my all-time top ten favorite female names anyway, so I'm glad it's not Dorothy because Dorothy's not in the list.
Right.
Okay, what's up?
I I just want to know.
Um, I'm absolutely as I said to the screener, I'm absolutely appalled that the president of the United States, one of the most powerful individuals, says we we're not appalled that the president says we wee.
Of course, that's why I've been making fun of it all day.
I mean, Bush Bush was not a great speaker.
Clinton was a used car salesman speaker, which I think the Americans love to hear.
But our president says we we.
I mean, who do we have to do?
Well, I'm I I guess I'm just shocked.
Margie, let me ask you a serious question.
When he said people get all wee weed up in Washington in August, what do you actually think he meant?
I don't have a clue.
I have no idea.
I I'm like you.
When you hear the term wee wee.
But he used what is what does it mean?
What Washington gets all wee weed up.
I have no idea.
I mean, I when you said that, I I just was appalled, really, that our president talks like that.
Well, he's awesome.
That's all I wanted to say that I can't believe more Americans aren't seeing President Obama for who he is.
America got what they voted for.
Well, wait a second.
Where did you hear it first?
Where did you hear?
I try to have you want to know what I'm saying.
That's my point.
Americans.
Some Americans may not know.
If MBC, ABC, CBS did not play the clip, they may not know that he used the term wee weed up.
Not on someone like O'Reilly, those terrible, terrible people at Fox.
Uh to play it, or for you to play it.
Uh well, I do play it.
I play all this stuff, and millions and millions and millions of Americans do hear it when I play it, but you heard it from me.
Um I look at I think this is hamped.
Dorothy, all the polling data, he's losing trust.
People are losing faith in him.
His numbers issue by issue by issue, he's losing on every one of them.
I the blooms off the rose.
The magic that was Obama doesn't exist.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
Let's this will illustrate it here.
Uh Doris Kearns Goodwin is heartbroken.
Obama is learning the presidency is hard.
Everything left over from Bush is much worse than anyone thought.
That's her summary.
Charlie Rose said, Doris, what do you make of President Obama?
What we've seen so far is a man that is surprisingly in command of the office.
Think back to the days when people worried about a 3 a.m. call coming in the middle of the night, and this rookie wouldn't know what to do.
He's had multiple crises, and he seems to still be steady, projecting an aura of self-confidence.
My suspicion is that things are far worse than he thought, and that accounts for some of the difficulties he's having.
This is uh considered to be one of the brightest women on the East Coast.
Uh, and this is just a plain old silly comment.
He um is not in command of the office.
He's not in command of the health care issue.
He's lost it.
Charlie Cook, Doris.
The Democrats have totally lost control of the debate.
They've lost control.
He says they're gonna lose 20 seats in the House.
That's Obama.
Obama's the face of the Democrat Party.
He doesn't seem in command of anything.
He's out there using terms like wee weed up.
He's complaining and whining about Bush, and you're helping it here, Doris, by saying, I suspicion is things are far worse than he uh he thought.
And then uh Charlie Rose goes to Ariana Huffington of the Huffing and Puffington Post and says, Ariana, how do you see uh this leadership question with uh President Obama?
I agree with Doris.
On top of it, he's a natural-born teacher.
He's teaching about how to be a human being, not just a president, his uh ability not to hold grudges, to stay centered, all those are great qualities.
My concern is that he's demonstrating a preference for compromise and reconciliation even before the fight has been fought.
He's a pied piper, but he has not taken this strong stand on health care or indeed on reforming Wall Street that would have led to fundamental change.
What in the world is she talking about?
He hasn't taken a strong stand.
What planet is she on?
We know that Barney Frank's prowling around Uranus.
We know that that woman at the health care planet came from Lyndon LaRouche's planet.
And the woman at Barney Frank's meal.
What planet is this woman I still're very close to hiring a uh translator here for when we have Ariana Huffington sound bite.
What in the world is she talking about?
And now this, she she she continued, she's not happy with the way Obama is executing the brilliant plans of Saul Alinsky.
President Obama, who, as you know, is a student of Sololinski, the great community organizer, has actually changed the perspective of the Olinski theory.
He wants to move from the first stage, which is the identification of the problem, to the fourth stage, which is reconciliation.
And he doesn't really want to deal with the messy parts in between.
Well, this is absurd, Much less insane.
He has Barack Obama is not about reconciliation.
He's about sweeping people off the playing field and getting rid of everything.
All right, we have posted now at rushlimbaugh.com the Wall Street Journal's story on the VA death book and the PDF file of the death book itself.
It's 52 or 53 pages.
So Coco's put it up there at Rush Limbaugh.com.
