Time Text
And greetings, my good friends, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists on across the fruited plane.
Rush Limboy having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Great to have you here on the fastest three hours in media.
The excellence in broadcasting network.
Here's the telephone number if you'd like to be on the program.
800 282-2882.
The email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
And now is promised, ladies and gentlemen, the official Obama criticizer.
Certified black enough to criticize, Mr. Bo Snerdly.
This is Bo Snerdly, official Barack Obama criticizer for the EIB network, certified black enough to criticize with a heavy dose of pure unadulterated organic slave blood.
I have a statement.
President Obama, your weakened media blitz to again try and reverse your sagging fortunes implementing your socialist health care takeover failed.
The only ones buying it are those who are already in so deep they can't see out.
Nobody else wants in.
And you've changed messages so many times, you are quickly losing all credibility.
It has become apparent that you view speech making and television appearances as a substitute for real governance.
Given the state of our economy and our weakening defense posture, perhaps it is time for you to spend a little less time on television and a little more time coming to terms with the magnitude of failure your leadership is causing.
It hasn't been a year yet.
You have no major achievement, and you're racking up a string of disasters.
Our economy is still in the tank.
Our enemies, thanks to your ineffective foreign policy decisions, think we have become a weakened nation, and some are openly gloating about it.
Respectfully, sir.
Shape up, or you will soon replace Jimmy Carter as the worst president in the last hundred years.
And now a trans Uh wait just a second.
Uh you said he has not racked up any successes.
I beg to differ.
Nationalizing mortgages and nationalizing the student loan program.
Do not official Obama criticizer, ignore those.
While these other failures have happened, he is gobbling up the private sector, like Pac-Man on steroids.
Now back to the official Obama criticizer.
I revise and extend my remarks.
You, sir, have no major achievements and a string of disasters for the American people.
For yourself, El Rushbow just named a few.
And now, a translation for our EIB brothers and sisters in the hood.
What up, B?
Yo, dog, it's been a minute.
Check it out, yo man.
You got some issues, yo.
Remember, it's September.
And yo, bro, we still don't see no jobs out here, yo.
Ain't that much hope.
And what be changing ain't changing like you said it was gonna change.
Bush is gone, yo, but you and your crew still raise them up every time somebody starts asking questions.
Where the jobs?
When you're not on TV, speechifying, you, Michelle and the Kitties are outliving large, man.
We see the pictures, man.
Y'all been to Paris, got dinner, but in New York, man, London, Harry Potter tours and all that stuff.
But check it out, man.
Out here in the hood, man.
Nobody's chilling.
Everybody's illing.
Ain't nobody got to do for them kind of vacations, yo.
You know how bad it is, Bomba man, people starting to sell their bling, man.
What's up with that?
Nobody can see what that stimulating money is stimulating, man, unless it's stimulating unemployment.
Oh, check this out, my mainest.
Tell your crew something something.
Stop whining about this race stuff, man.
You H B I C now, yo.
You the head black in charge.
You in charge of everything.
You running the show.
You are the man, okay?
So just bring it.
Y'all don't have to come with this race stuff no more.
You up in there, man.
You up in the house.
Bring it, okay?
Tell your crew to stop making excuses.
Now we see them boys up on Wall Street.
You know, they kind of coming out rolling again.
But we don't see it here.
Here's another tip, yo.
You making the Russians happy, but you making the brothers yappy, okay?
Ain't nobody got no spending money out here, yo.
Okay?
You worrying about health care?
That's not the deal, man.
It's the jobs.
A healthy jobs takes care of the healthy health care, homie.
So let me run this on you, man.
Step off the TV.
We already know what you look like.
We know you're in charge.
Stop spending.
Stop the grinning.
Get busy.
Get some jobs up here going, oh, we're gonna break you off that hope and change thing when next time an election rolls out, yo.
I'm telling you, you got that?
You feeling me?
That concludes this statement.
And that is the official Obama criticizer, boast nerdily certified black enough to criticize with 100%.
What was it?
Uh full-fledged uh slave blood.
Authentic slave blood.
Organic uh authentic slave blood.
So the uh Obama official Obama criticizer above criticism.
Uh, as such, and the official Obama criticizer found exclusively here at the EIB network.
Now, I I touched on this this next story here prior to the conclusion of the previous hour.
The newsweek cover last week was Is Your Baby Racist.
This week, the case for killing Granny.
Now, Newsweek's in a full court press here to save Obamacare and to change American thinking to boot.
It's about a lot more than Newsweek.
It's a systematic altering of the way we think and the way we've been brought up.
And it baby racist?
They actually want to prove to me that a four-month-old baby white baby is racist.
On the basis of some survey of doctors and so forth and psychiatrists.
And now the case for killing granny.
I mean, this is scary.
This is sick stuff.
I know, I know they've got a low circulation.
But the cover is on every newsstand in every grocery store in this country.
And that's their only real audience with this rag anymore.
It's not the elites.
It's just other journalists who read the stuff, but it's not it's not for consumption, at least the contents of the magazine's not for the consumption of American people.
It's the cover.
And it's the cover on sale at magazine racks and at grocery stores and so forth.
It's the case for killing granny.
Is your baby racist?
We're all socialists now.
Get the headline, get the graphic into the minds of America.
It is insidious.
This week's Newsweek cover exceeds the sheer breathtaking ugliness of last week's The Case for Killing Granny, alongside a photo of an electrical plug.
The cover story is by Evan Thomas, and over Harvard, Virginia Law.
Currently teaching at Princeton alongside Peter Singer, who believes newborn infants can be killed because they lack rationality, autonomy, and self-consciousness, and thus don't qualify for personhood.
I'm reading here, by the way, from Cliff Theater at uh AmericanThinker.com.
There's also an opinion piece in this Newsweek issue, declaring that America's character is less than the character of those countries that have universal health care.
It's by Washington Post columnist T.R. Reed, classics, Princeton, who coincidentally is the author of a new book pushing for fairer health care.
A third stumsucker piece, titled I Was a Teenage Death Panelist, argues that we all need to be more comfortable with death.
It also attacks right-wing opponents of Obamacare for the lie that Obamacare will include death panels.
The author John Meekham, Newsweek's editor, Sumakomalowed English, University of the South, doesn't explain why that's a lie, and is content to only say that the idea of death panels arose from the sensible and humane idea that families should discuss end of life options.
The central idea behind each of these three pieces is that we spend too much money on people during their last six months of life.
And we all should be more willing to die, say these writers.
We all should be more willing to let other people die by withholding medical treatment, water, food, air, whatever.
Newsweek seeks to make us more comfortable with the idea of killing our parents and grandparents.
The Obamacare deal they want us to buy.
Is that only if more people die will there be better medical treatment for everybody else?
That is you and me.
That's newsweek.
But you don't have to read the contents.
The case for killing Granny.
The case for guilding not never mind the fact that Obama's out there saying, Oh, I'm never gonna pull the plug on grandma.
I don't know where that came from.
Everybody lying about it.
And here's New Newsweek making the case.
Again, it's it's all within the rubric of the medium is the message.
So you got Obama all over television.
You have now I mean, we're all socialists now.
Is your baby racist?
And the case for killing Grammy.
All to coincide with the coming to power of Barack Obama.
Scary, sick, insidious stuff.
As I say, this is not only about changing the way we think, this is about changing our culture.
Changing the way we've been brought up.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
All righty, back to the phones is I, El Rush both serve humanity.
Half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
This is Peter in Rochester, New York.
Hello, sir.
Hey, Rush, it's great to talk to you again.
Uh you're not getting paid enough.
Yeah.
And uh that goes for that that goes for Snerdley, too.
I'll take that up with myself since I'm in charge of that.
Uh yeah, okay, good point.
Listen, uh, I'm a physician up here in Rochester.
I I by common sense, can you imagine the liability risk that a hospital would take by turning down or lowering the triage uh uh point for a child with suspected meningitis in an emergency room because they have no insurance?
It doesn't happen.
There that would be asking and begging for a lawsuit from the Now you're referring back to Michelle Obama last Friday saying, Oh my god, my daughter might have been in gritis.
Oh, thank God I've got insurance.
Exactly.
And we know everybody goes to the emergency room gets treated.
Some cases two thousand times.
In fact, they're triaged, and it doesn't now they'll try to ask for insurance, but if somebody comes in with a hundred and six fever, a stiff neck and a headache, and th the insurance they'll take care of it later.
That person is rushed into care right away.
Yep, yep, yep.
Now the the other thing I wanted to mention is is that when you talk statistics, you you say that that side uh lies when they bring up statistics.
There are some true statistics out there.
People ought to know that of all the of the total uh pie of health care spending, only two percent is so-called uncompensated care.
It's two percent of all health care.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
What do you mean uncompensated?
You mean the hospital or the doctor's not paid?
The hospital has to basically eat it, and uh those people don't have Medicare or Medicare.
I mean it's only two percent.
That's right.
Whose number is that?
Uh I'm not sure, but it's out there.
It's out there.
But you trust it?
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
Well, no, it'd be great if it's true.
I just uh it is true.
It's two percent, and the people with uncompensated care, uh the uh Kaiser in California did a poll.
Uh two-thirds of the people who have no insurance are happy with you know with their two thousand visits to the emergency room.
And well, as you said, I think forty percent don't want Obama to change anything.
And those people represent the safety net.
So we got a damn net safety net.
I've well, you don't have to convince me.
I think it's the best health care system in the world, and we never hear anything good about it from the leaders of the Democrat Party.
Yeah.
And and you know something else, Rush.
Ezekiel Emmanuel, who uh who's uh uh a doctor who's in close touch with the administration's in charge of their health care plans, Ram Emanuel of Ballerina's brother.
Right.
This guy knows these statistics.
These people are lying through their teeth.
I know.
Well, that's what I that's my point.
When they when the left comes up the three million homeless, whatever that they're lying for their teeth to advance an agenda to create an emotional reaction of support for uh for what they're trying to do.
They can't be honest about anything and succeed.
Dirty little secret, you know show you how ridiculous it is.
To show you how ridiculous it is.
Can any of you in your 60s and 70s, any of you in your 50s, any of you in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, can you name for me one major government program that A has cost less than they said, B has resulted in a surplus of savings and has not run up the national debt or the annual deficit?
Can you name one?
Has Social Security been cheap?
Have they saved money doing Social Security?
Or has the deficit risen?
Medicare, ditto, Medicaid, ditto, war on poverty, ditto, great society.
Can any of you name a major government program that saved anybody, particularly the U.S. taxpayer, any money?
Can you name a government program that cost less than what they said it was going to cost?
You can't.
In fact, the government is so inefficient, we all make jokes about it.
And yet, why is it that when Obama comes around and says his health care plan is revenue neutral, it will not add to the deficit, and we're gonna have savings, and we're gonna call we're gonna get a $500 billion, whatever it is, from Medicare fraud, and so why does anybody believe it?
Only because they want to.
Only because for some reason faith in government for way too many millions of Americans is unthinkable.
But there's there's no evidence.
I mean, the idea that they can produce any statistic whatsoever that's going to show that this many million more will get health care cover.
Yeah, we're going to ensure 47 million more people.
Guess and it's not going to cost us anything.
And we're not going to hire any new doctors, but everybody's coverage and treatment is going to get better, and it's going to get cheaper, and we're going to reduce the deficit.
The only way we can reduce the deficit is to reform health care.
Why why did there's no, there's not a there's not a syllable of truth in anything I said.
And there hasn't been.
You can't say any of that about any other government program.
So why does anybody believe it?
It's compatible Mr. Lomboth compatible.
People understand the government is trying to help people.
It's because people realize they can't do things for themselves and the government will help.
The people want the thief, Mr. Lumba.
That's the voice of the new castraffee.
By the way.
And that must be the answer.
They want it to work.
They want it to be.
But there's no logical, sane reason to believe anything that Obama or anybody says about this health care plan.
The only way to reduce the deficit is to reform health care.
Yeah.
The only way to reduce the deficit is to is to expand social security.
I mean, it's just since it's nonsense.
Practical common sense nonsense.
David in Lafayette, Louisiana, welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Russia's truly, truly an honor to talk to you.
Thank you very much, sir.
I'm just curious why the won't the mainstream media report on the stories.
You, Hannity, Walton and Johnson talk about why do they wait two, three weeks when they're so quick to criticize stuff that you say?
Uh are you asking why they don't listen?
I mean, they get they have people over there that get paid and all they gotta do is listen to you, listen to Hannity, listen to y'all.
And y'all report stuff.
No, no, no, no.
Again, the wrong context.
Of course, if they listened, they would hear the truth, and then they wouldn't be able to report what they report, which is why they don't listen.
They have media matters.
They have their blogs to report out of context what is said here.
And that becomes a see.
I've often found this amazing.
What is so hard?
We know we're not on a super secret frequency.
You don't need a special decoder ring and a special radio to listen to this program.
It's the most.
Listen to Radio Program America.
All you need to do is grab a radio or get a website and turn it on.
And yet, never am I quoted by what I actually said on the radio.
It's always, and according to Media Matters for America, or according to the daily costs, or according to this or that.
Or and the only explanation for this is it's purposeful.
We're the enemy.
We have to be discredited and destroyed.
The left can't engage in open debate.
The left can't be honest about what they believe.
They can't be honest about what we believe.
They they can only discredit our uh character, impugn our character credibility.
That's the only chance they have.
And they've got a you know, quite a large army and arsenal of people that uh that are engaging in it.
You know, I gotta say something funny.
Uh driving to FedEx Fields from the Hay Adams Hotel yesterday.
Our driver took us on a route.
We went by the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, a uh Lincoln Memorial, and I don't remember, I think there was traffic crossing a bridge, maybe not familiar enough with Washington to know where the road was taking them, but I noticed three of the tiniest little bug kind of cars I have ever seen.
Three wheels.
Three of them together, two of them that were in like formation.
One was leading and the two were behind.
They all fit, all three of these fit in one lane.
And I'm seeing all these other large cars, standard sized cars around them.
And I think these people are driving death traps, thinking they are saving the climate.
And then I thought where the hell's Ralph Nader.
So I'm seeing these three little cars.
I mean, they look like they look like um You know these weirdo helmets bicycle riders uh wear that they come to a long point in the end.
That's what this thing looked like with three wheels, two rear wheels and one with a with a bubble like a canopy that the driver sits in.
And the wheels from what from my distance, I wasn't that far from them, the wheels look like they're maybe two inches thick.
The tires.
And I'm saying, where's that?
I mean, this is death traps.
And here you got probably some Washington liberals driving around a beautiful day, and they think they're saving the planet, and they're riding around in death traps.
And I'm where is Ralph Nader?
Remember, Ralph Nader made it a personal crusade to get rid of the Chevrolet Corvair.
And then the drive-bys picked that up and they set off explosions.
Remember, NBC, Michael Gartner was the news director.
They actually exploded some kind of a uh a pickup truck to make it look like a rear-end collision would make it blow up, and they set the dynamite charges in it.
We had all of this attention on unsafe automobiles, and it was led by Ralph Nader.
And then after after we got word from Ralph Nader, then consumer reports came in and uh and the drive-by media, and we said, you gotta have heavier cars out there.
We we get Corvair's at death trap, we've got to get people out of these things, and now we got people riding in cars that make the Corvair look like a Hummer, and everybody ploughed us.
Oh, wow, we're saving the planet.
We're putting people in death traps.
And we're convincing a bunch of, I'm sure, well-intentioned, stupid idiots thinking that they're actually saving something by driving around in these things.
I can't I can't tell you how small they look like an elongated bicycle helmet that one person could sit in in there.
I mean, this is this is half the size of one of these smart cars that or these little bubble cars that Mercedes makes that you can tool around in.
I was just, you know, I just I don't know, just a sudden thought.
Uh where's Ralph Nader?
Back to the audio sound bites.
George Stephanopoulos got under Obama's skin on tax increases.
Uh Steffi hit Obama here on what's not even in question.
The health care plan's a massive health increase, tax increases.
Here's the question.
Under this mandate, the government's forcing people to spend money and finding you if you don't, how's that not a tax increase?
No, that that's not true, George.
The for us to say that you've got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase.
What it's saying is that we're not going to have other people carrying your burdens for you.
Any more than the fact that right now everybody in America just about has to get auto insurance.
Nobody considers that a tax increase.
People say to themselves, that is a fair way to make sure that if you hit my car that I'm not covering all the costs.
It doesn't work this way.
You buy automobile insurance to protect yourself for being sued when you ran into somebody.
If if if if if that analogy worked, you go out and buy health insurance to ensure somebody else get getting AIDS from you or getting the swine flu from you.
And they sue you for spreading the disease.
But if you don't have a car, you don't have to have auto insurance.
Some states you have to have a driver's license, and then you have to have insurance.
It's a scam.
But he can't get his arms around the factory.
And it's not a tax increase to him because his folks see it's it's not your money, it's his.
He gets to direct all spending.
All money is his uh other than what he graciously allows you to end up with.
So Stephanopoulos says, well, it may be fair, maybe good public policy, but but George, you you can't just make up that language and decide that that's called a tax increase.
Yeah, I don't think I'm making it up.
Merriam Webster's dictionary tax.
A charge money.
Stop the tape and re-cue it.
How hit how enterprising is this?
A journalist actually gets a dictionary and takes it on the set with him and reads to the president what a tax is.
Here it is again from the top.
No, but but George, you you can't just make up that language and decide that that's called a tax increase.
I don't think I'm making it up.
Maryam Webster's dictionary tax, a charge usually of money imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes.
George, the fact that you looked up Merriam's dictionary, the the definition of tax increase indicates to me that you're stretching a little bit right now.
Otherwise you wouldn't have gone to the dictionary to check on the definition.
Well, no.
I mean, what if what you're saying is I wanted to check for myself, but your critics say it is a tax increase.
My critics say everything's a tax increase.
My critics say that I'm taking over uh every sector of the economy.
They're right.
You know that.
Uh uh look, we can have a legitimate debate about whether or not we're gonna have an individual mandate or not.
But you reject that it's a absolutely reject that notion.
So you go out and get the dictionary, and if you get the dictionary, you're discrediting yourself.
Unless you get the Obama dictionary.
So here now is let's let's go to slay the nation with Bob Schaefer.
And Bob Schaefer said the Chamber of Commerce starting a big ad campaign right now.
They say you're gonna put these taxes on the insurance companies on people that make things like X-rays and lab tests and all that, and they're just gonna turn right around and pass it on to the consumer.
They're making huge profits on it.
Look, uh bringing about change in this town is always hard.
When you've got special interests that are making billions of dollars, absolutely they're gonna want to keep as as much of that of the profits that they're making as possible.
And by the way, those insurance companies, even during these down years have been making terrific profits.
We don't mind them making profits, we just want them to be accountable to their customers.
Now, why why in the world, folks, would you have to say we don't mind them making profit?
Can you imagine we have a president of the United States?
We don't mind them making profits when he clearly does in his joint.
He specifically mentioned that the profits are too much.
Pelosi has said the same.
That the uh the profits are just too great.
So you know, this is what we're dealing with.
I I I don't know, you know what I I cannot explain.
The only thing I can explain, I can't maybe explain it.
Why did Stephanopoulos decide to challenge him on this?
Uh well, I don't think Stephanopoulos really cared.
He was making things up and being a liar.
I think it's all part of the game that state controlled media got to put forth the illusion.
I think Stephanopoulos cares about that.
And Bob Schiefer talking about what he's talking about.
I think what caused uh Stephanopoulos to take this tack and Schiefer is that they know they've got the same guest on Sunday.
They got to do something besides ask the standard Origamer roll.
So that's all it is.
They weren't really trying to embarrass the the damster.
Uh they're just they're just trying to differentiate their shows from the other four that uh that Obama went on.
My friends, I have had an epiphany.
Sudden intuitive leap of understanding.
It happens to me a lot.
Now I've been here it is.
This is the one I had.
I've been I've been telling you how Carbonite safely securely automatically backs up your hard drive off-site whenever you're connected to the internet, and it does that.
But here's what it's really all about.
Let's say you accidentally delete some files from your computer, or your computer is damaged, or it crashes.
All of which can happen.
If it hasn't happened to you yet, one of those three is gonna happen, or it's gonna get stolen.
You're gonna lose crucial data.
When that happens, you get scared.
Fear creeps in.
Then you get mad.
You get mad.
And then you remember that you listened to me, and you took my advice, you got carbonite online backup, and in a few simple steps.
Your vanished files are restored.
No loss.
Not even much angst.
Just a tiny bit until you realized you had listened to me.
So now you're happy, feeling joy, relief, and you're thanking me and you're sending me emails.
Rush.
I really I took your advice on this, and it saved my big and I get many of these every day.
That's how often people have problems with their hard drives.
Carbonite is much more than an online backup.
It restores relief and happiness.
Unlimited backup for your PC or Mac, 55 bucks a year at Carbonite.com where you'll receive a free 15-day trial if you use offer code rush and two free months if you decide to buy.
So it's not even 55 bucks a year.
El Chico.
Turn your fear into happiness.
Rest secure.
Carbonite.com, offer code rush.
It was twenty-five years ago, just to show you how the left works.
Just to show you when they when they propose something, folks, they don't stop.
Twenty-five years ago, March 29th, 1984, a Thursday, the New York Times.
Elderly people who are terminally ill have a duty to die and get out of the way instead of trying to prolong their lives by artificial means, according to Governor Richard Lamb, Democrat Colorado.
People who die without having life artificially extended are similar to leaves falling off of trees.
Twenty-five years ago.
Now fast forward Newsweek magazine, the case for pulling the plug on Granny.
Obama's death panels, Ezekiel Emanuel, making the case that we can't afford 1997.
Now we got people driving around these little death traps.
And the SUV is considered public enemy number one.
I have warned you people about this several times.
When they start talking about this stuff, they don't go away.
It's only taking 25 years.
Twenty-five years.
We're changing the way we've been brought up.
We're changing our culture.
Everything about us, the way we think.
Now Granny has a duty to die.
And if she won't go, we pull a plug.
Newsweek magazine says, yep, that's what we need to do.
Twenty-five years.
They never stop.
Bernadette in East Akron, Ohio.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
It's a thrill to talk to you.
I can imagine.
Thank you.
Yeah.
And I want to tell you Rush is one of my all-time favorite names.
Well, Bernadette.
If I were I had another baby, I'd name him Rush.
Um I called to tell you about how my husband and I unwittingly took part in uh in a uh acorn project earlier this year.
Are you certain you want to admit this to a national radio audience?
I didn't know it until afterward.
That's what they all say.
You're just calling here.
You just you want to you.
You want some absolution.
Oh, yeah, I guess so.
All right, tell us the story.
Um we hosted a student teacher from France for two months who was doing an experience in uh the Akron schools.
And um a bunch of students.
Well, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
A student teacher doing an experience in the Yeah, yeah.
Going into a s Akron school and teaching for two months in his in his field.
What was the title of the course, Surrender 101?
No.
No, he was teaching actually our we had two teachers at my school, one was teaching physics and the other phys ed.
And we had the one that that taught phys ed.
And it was uh he was a lovely guy.
We liked him and we liked the experience, but when it was all over we got the uh form for evaluation form and found out that it was an acorn project.
And I was shocked because I thought Acorn was doing things for poor people.
What do you think people in the public school systems are?
Oh I mean have we got to import gym teachers from France?
Well actually this one was at a Catholic school.
For the expert had its mitts in a Catholic school.
Yes.
I mean he didn't know it was acorn I didn't know it was acorn.
But we sent a bunch of teachers over to France too and it's all under the auspices of the uh acorn I was shocked.
I know they're in look at they're insidious they're everywhere.
They are like a virus.
Yes it is cockroaches I'm telling you we can destroy the country and acorn still be around somehow.
And I wonder how they got this program under you know under Acorn.
It's not for poor people.
No acorn's not for poor people that's just the cover.
That's what nobody will oppose it.
Acorns for chaos Oh my this program has been in for a couple years.
This is the first I'll bet you that gym teacher was actually a pimp and the gym teacher stuff was just a cover.
All the girls were in love with him.
See I mean seriously why do we have to I'm I'm all for exchange programs.
I mean yep yep yep yep why a gym teacher?
Uh-huh well there were there were three of those that came over most of them were were science or uh science or his I don't know.
What else they talk about deal.
Oh but I I'm wondering whether I should take part in this another year.
That's up to you.
I need your permission.
If a if acorns involved I'd stay away from it oh there's something other than what appears to be going on going on.
I have to find out I have to find out and investigate more.
Good luck.
And then I'll I'll call and let you know.
Do that I'd hope I appreciate that Bernadette Oh it is so nice to talk to you I can't I can't I thank you thanks very much.
Okay.
Bye bye.
Bye bye.
C V uh in Austin, Texas great to have you EIB network hello.
Rush thanks so much for taking my call uh a couple weeks ago uh in the Wall Street Journal uh uh Bill McGurn reported that uh that uh Gibbs uh Mr Obama's spokesperson said before the Washington press uh press corps that uh that Mr Obama would would be more than happy uh to serve only one term if he could get his health care reform passed and I I have not heard any reporting on this at all.
I think if the American people heard this it would be just the icing on the cake wait a second I no no I'm I'm not I'm not sure I think I I think I remember playing the soundbite that Gibbs said that.
Is that right?
Yeah, and the way he said it, it didn't really mean it.
It was a way in which they were trying to say how serious Obama is about this.
Yeah, I mean, you're probably right.
But like I say, the way that Bill McGurn reported it in the journal was very, very clear.
Well, he could be right.
I may be imagining hearing that.
I think I've heard Gibbs say everything.
Yeah, I'm sure you have.
I know I have.
So anyway, I just wanted to get it out there.
really again appreciate you taking the call because I haven't heard anybody report it and maybe you know and I I missed it on your show.
Well uh what people oh wow only one term what are we supposed to do let him have it so we get rid of him and what's the what what what was your take on it?
Well I again my take when I was ready I I have only uh heard it or or read it in the journal in this one article and it just uh shocked me that it has not gotten out and that you know nobody is understanding that Obama's zealotry is that radical I think they do.
I I think Obama's losing supporters left it really independents ago I think they do.
I I I think look at the polling data's all in our favor on this that doesn't mean anything that right now they got to keep it up they're gonna try to ramrod it Bahner by the way John Baylor said the health care is dead as it is in the health dead in the house.
That's interesting he was said it yesterday on one of the shows back in a sec.
Ba ba do All right, folks, a programming reminder.

And that means, sadly, no dittocam on Tuesday and Wednesday.
