Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Boy, folks, are we loaded today?
We got Bill Clinton up there at the Senate telling the Democrats they got to pass health care now.
They got to pass it now.
Pass whatever they can and then just keep amending it year after year after year.
And he's telling them if you don't pass it, you're not going to win re-election.
Now, if it's so damn good, if it's such a wonderful re-election tool, why not save it for like next summer or next fall?
Ha ha ha.
Greetings, my friends, El Rushball behind a golden EIB microphone.
Everybody wishes they were me.
800-282-2882 is the telephone number, the email address, L Rushball at EIBnet.com.
AP.
AP has used the word malaise to describe the U.S. economy.
They have a poll.
The American people are upset at the direction of the country.
56 to whatever, 56 to 39% going in the wrong direction.
Are they still hanging in there with Obama?
The way the AP, the way they write this, they're blaming the citizens for having the negative attitude about the country that they have.
We have exciting news out there.
BBC report, curvy women have higher IQs than waif-like women.
They have to is probably.
You know, it reminds me of a survey not long ago.
Well, I was in Pittsburgh, so this had to be 1972, I think.
They did a study at Tufts University, and they found the larger the bust size, the higher the IQ.
This BBC thing seems to confirm that.
But we'll get into detail on that.
Also a story, child obesity, teen obesity is not due to lack of exercise.
It has been discovered it has to do with diet.
Teens today get pretty much the same amount of exercise as they have in the last 20 years.
Oh yeah, well, folks, we are loaded today.
I mean, I got more than I can possibly squeeze in in these three hours.
But we're going to start with the President of the United States at Fort Hood yesterday in what was the most empty, meaningless.
If you didn't know what had happened, you wouldn't know what he was talking about.
Let's go to the audio soundbites.
This is the state-run media, a montage in which many of them feel they were reminded of Bill Clinton's post-Oklahoma City bombing speech.
This reminded me of President Clinton after the bombing at the Merle Building in Oklahoma City.
President Bill Clinton had Oklahoma City.
This is a national moment, calls for presidential leadership.
It's like the Oklahoma City bombings.
A moment for this president.
A moment to reflect, not unlike the days after Oklahoma City.
See, the way these media people go and the way the Democrats look at it, these tragedies are good things for a president.
Remember, the Democrats were, oh, they were so bent out of shape after 9-11 because it was an opportunity for greatness for George W. Bush that had passed President Clinton by.
But now Oklahoma City.
Well, let's go back.
Let's listen to President Clinton after Oklahoma City.
This is why they love the Clinton, Oklahoma City speech.
We hear so many loud and angry voices in America today whose sole goal seems to be to try to keep some people as paranoid as possible and the rest of us all torn up and upset with each other.
They spread hate.
They leave the impression that by their very words that violence is acceptable.
You ought to see, I'm sure you are now seeing the reports of some things that are regularly said over the airwaves in America today.
It is time we all stood up and spoke against that kind of reckless speech and behavior.
That was in Minneapolis on April 24th, 1995, in which President Clinton blamed me for the Oklahoma City bombing, jinning up government hate.
Now, they haven't blamed me for Fort Hood, but wait till you hear in subsequent soundbites who is being blamed for this by Democrats.
But first, let's go to President Obama himself.
He says this is incomprehensible.
We don't possibly can't possibly understand what happened here.
This is a time of war.
These Americans did not die on a foreign field of battle.
They were killed here on American soil in the heart of this great state, in the heart of this great American community.
This is the fact that makes the tragedy even more painful, even more incomprehensible.
It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy, but this much we do know.
No faith justifies these murderous and craven acts.
Yes, it does.
No just and loving God looks upon them with favor.
For what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice in this world and the next.
I mean, I, folks, I ought to read to you what my friend Andy McCarthy wrote about this at National Review Online.
After the carnage we've seen for two decades and the high religious authorities that have endorsed them, it is simply astounding that an American president at a solemn memorial service for soldiers killed just days ago by a jihadist acting on his rational, broadly accepted understanding of his religious duty, could claim that no faith justifies sneak attack murders, that no religion teaches that God looks upon them with favor.
In fact, a widely held interpretation of Islam holds exactly these principles.
No one is saying that all Muslims follow Hassan's construction of Islam, but hundreds of millions do.
And they have scriptures to back up their beliefs, scriptures we can all read if we just pull our heads out of the sand.
To deny that is to deny reality.
A country cannot be protected by people who lack the will to face reality.
And that's what we have in President.
I'm still struck.
Does he face reality?
Is he this naive or is he this cunning?
I mean, he's got to know what jihad is.
He's got to know of the imams that preach it.
He's got to know that there are scriptures in these people's book that suggests the way to get to heaven is to kill infidels.
I mean, this is not even arguable.
As Andy says here, it's not about all Muslims, but clearly hundreds of millions of them.
This is the next sound bite.
He has to just, well, listen to it yourself.
You'll see.
The stories of those at Fort Hood reaffirm the core values that we are fighting for and the strength that we must draw upon.
Theirs are the tales of American men and women answering an extraordinary call.
The call to serve their comrades, their communities, and their country.
In an age of selfishness, they embody responsibility.
In an era of division, they call upon us to come together.
In a time of cynicism, they remind us of who we are as Americans.
Tell you folks, there's bashing America again, taking the occasion of this solemn moment to bash the country with his new age.
Liberal speak in an age of selfishness.
I thought he was going to fix all that.
In an era of division.
I thought he was going to fix all that in a time of cynicism.
I thought he was going to fix all that.
He also used the term extremists to talk about people who act as uh Nadal Hasan did.
They are not extremists.
They are mainstream in their sect of Islam.
They are mainstream.
There are hundreds of millions of them.
They are not extremists.
And this, this is serious stuff, the president of the United States refusing to recognize and, of course, the FBI refusing to take seriously, the Justice Department refusing to take seriously, these agencies not sharing information that they had about this guy.
You know this guy.
I got a.
I got a pdf file today.
George Washington University did its own transition task force presidential Transition task force last year.
It ran from april 2008 to um january 2009.
This is not an Obama assigned task force.
It was George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute Thinking anew security priorities for the next administration proceedings.
Report of the Homeland Security Policy Institute presidential transition task force.
They're working on this, regardless who is going to be elected president.
You go to page 29 of this pdf file and among the participants who were giving lectures, sitting in on panel discussions, you find the name Nadal Hasan, Uniformed Services University School OF Medicine.
Now I?
Um, this is not Obama per se and I don't want anybody to misunderstand here, but this is a failure of the broader government.
How in the world, even if you don't, even if you don't do background checks formally, which take a while for task forces like this about, wouldn't you at least check with law enforcement or, his name, with the military, that they knew about the guy?
How does this guy end up?
Everywhere we seem to look in the path, this guy is someplace of prominence.
He's at Walter Reed giving speeches, lectures to other doctors.
Uh, as I said yesterday, this guy was not on the radar or even under the radar.
He was on stage and it was on stage at a point that everybody knew he was on stage.
So here's Obama uh with, with this speech, willingly missing the boat on this, taking the occasion here to praise the military by saying they show us the way during a time of selfishness, cynicism and division.
You know, these speeches are supposed to be uplifting.
These speeches are supposed to be uplifting.
These speeches are supposed to be inspiring.
They're supposed to comfort it.
Bashes Bashes, the country.
You know, this business of division, who was it that divided this country in the war in Iraq?
It was Barack Obama and practically every member of his party, except for Joe Lieberman at the time.
It was Barack Obama.
It was Harry Reid.
It was John Kerry.
This war is lost.
We have no chance.
We don't deserve to win.
John Murthy, our Marines over there committing rape and murder.
Age of division.
Ralph Peters last night on the O'Reilly factor.
He's a columnist for the New York Post.
Question, you listened to the president today.
What do you think?
One point particularly got to me, offended me.
It wasn't hard to comprehend, and it's not now.
It was the act of an Islamist terrorist who gunned down 54 people because he believed he was doing the will of Allah in accordance with the Quran.
Not hard to understand.
The evidence is there.
And where are the Southern Baptist suicide bombers?
Where are the Methodist marketplace massacre types?
It's clear that the problem is Islam.
And the other thing that offended me in all the speeches at Fort Hood today, not one mention of terror, terrorist terrorism.
I didn't expect him to mention Islamist terrorism.
But what does it take?
What evidence does it take for our president to admit this was an act of terror?
My God.
He can't.
He can't because it occurred on his watch.
Now, here is Dick Durbin.
Now, let me remind you about Senator Durbin.
Senator Durbin, remember, went to the floor of the Senate and compared interrogators in Guantanamo Bay and at Abu Ghraib of being no different than the people that worked for Pol Pot, the people that worked in the Soviet gulags and the Nazis.
Remember, that was Dick Durbin, U.S. Senator from Illinois.
On the Senate floor yesterday, he said this.
To rush to judgment based on this new act of violence at Fort Hood is premature, and it may be unfair, certainly to the 3,500 Muslim Americans who proudly serve in our nation's armed forces today.
As you walk through Arlington Cemetery, devoted to the section that's devoted to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, you will find headstones with the crescent star alongside the crosses and stars of David.
As investigators search for answers as to what happened last week, we owe it to the brave men and women serving at Fort Hood and throughout our military to think clearly and act thoughtfully.
Well, what is he doing here?
Is he blaming this on the U.S. military?
He's determined to absolve radical Islam of any blame here.
I mean, just amazing.
And here is Obama's patron, Mayor Daly of Chicago, at a press conference yesterday to announce the expansion of Arabic language programs in Chicago City schools.
Every day in society, someone's being killed.
Unfortunately, America loves guns.
We love guns to a point that we see the devastation on a daily basis.
And you don't blame a group.
You don't blame a society, the immigrant community, because of actions of one group.
You can't, one individual.
You cannot say that.
So he's blaming it on our love of guns.
On a military base.
Had the 300 people in that room crowded into these cubicles, had they been armed, there might have been less carnage once this guy let loose.
Remember, it was a local cop that brought down Hassan.
I got to take a break.
We'll be back after this.
The media is twisting itself into pretzels.
Pretzels, doing everything they can to deny the obvious reality of Fort Hood.
Last night, CNN, Anderson Cooper 360, Special Investigations Correspondent Drew Griffin reported this about the Fort Hood gunman Nidal Malik Hassan.
Hassan made no attempt to hide his religion or his conservative Muslim ideology, which is exactly why some experts are convinced Nadal Hassan is not a terrorist.
Outrageous on two counts.
There is nothing conservative about Islamofascism.
These people in the media continue to refer to anything they think is evil as conservative.
Secondly, I know, I have read a lot of terrorists who are pretty open about what they intend to do.
They're out there.
I mean, Zawahiri, Bin Laden, any number of them are doing everything they can to let it know, let it be known what they believe and what they intend to do and what it is that motivates it.
What does this guy mean?
He made no attempt to hide his religion or conservative Muslim ideology.
And that's why some, who are these experts?
Name the names.
We need to know who these people are so we don't listen to them anymore.
Now, do you remember, wasn't long ago that the state-controlled media, very, very, very concerned, ladies and gentlemen, very concerned at the forces of talk radio and the right-wing news bloggers regimening up potential violence against President Obama and others in society and all what had happened to our civility.
Well, Anderson Cooper 360 broadcasts an American Muslim threat against President Obama.
Revolution Muslim brother Yusuf al-Khattab said this about Osama bin Laden and President Obama and they broadcast it on CNN last night.
I love Osama bin Laden.
I love him.
I love him like more than more than I love myself.
Is Obama a murderer, a tyrant, a scumbag?
Absolutely he is.
If they killed him, would I shed a tear?
Absolutely I would not.
There you go.
Now CNN putting it all out there, folks, while worrying and wringing its hands throughout the summer about the teabaggers.
Even President Clinton has gotten into that vulgarity game now, calling Tea Party attendees teabaggers.
I'll get to all that in mere moments.
Special investigations correspondent Drew Griffin had this exchange with Revolution Muslim brother Yunus Abdullah Muhammad on CNN again last night.
We're commanded to terrorize the disbelievers.
Commanded to terrorize the disbelievers.
The Quran says very clearly in the Arabic language, terrorize them.
It's a command from Allah.
So you're commanded.
It's a terrorized man.
Terrorize doesn't mean anybody.
define terrorism as going and killing an innocent civilian that's what you i define terrorism as making them fearful so that they think twice before they go rape your mother or kill your brother or go onto your land and try to steal your resources i don't Now, this guy, Drew Griffin, just has this conversation with this guy.
Now go back and play Soundbite 8.
He just heard this guy say what he believes terrorism is, what his commandment from Allah is.
It says after he reported this.
Hassan made no attempt to hide his religion or his conservative Muslim ideology, which is exactly why some experts are convinced Nadal Hassan is not a terrorist.
Well, let me tell you something.
I'm an expert on media, and I am entirely convinced as to why CNN has no audience.
Zip Zero Nada.
There's a piece, the UK Telegraph today, Tony Harnden, Toby Harndon.
Bloodless President Barack Obama makes Americans wistful for George W. Bush.
Where's the emotion, President Obama?
This is a killer piece.
I'll share it with you when we get back.
Rush Limboy, your guiding light, period, on the EIB network, 800-282-2882.
If you want to appear on the program, let's grab a call here.
Tampa, Florida.
Sam, glad you called, sir.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
This is Sam in Tampa.
Yeah.
I think we should cut the rhetoric for one day, talking about all the stuff that bothers you or you feel.
Today's Veterans Day.
We should be celebrating all the men and women that have died for our freedoms.
If you have never gone to the Veterans Hospital in the Trauma Center to see young men and women with their limbs cut off or their heads blown half apart, you would not be sitting here talking about something that doesn't really even matter.
What matters are those men and women that have given their lives.
Give them the one day.
I really don't believe you.
I am sitting here stunned.
I'm smiling, but I'm stunned.
You may be the most ignorant person to ever call this program.
We talk about the veterans in the military every day on this program.
We honor them and celebrate them every day.
We defend them against relentless assault from the Democrat Party throughout the Iraq War.
My man, I have been to Walter Reed Army Hospital.
I have visited troops wounded in battle.
I am on the board of the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, which raises money to provide college scholarships for Marines and others who are killed in action.
If you had the slightest experience listening to this program, you would know that.
The rhetoric of this program is in defense of military personnel killed at Fort Hood, and we are talking about a president who either doesn't or refuses to recognize a genuine threat that this country faces, who is dithering in Afghanistan.
While three months ago, the commander on the ground requested 40,000 more troops.
The president of the United States made a political calculation he needed the House to pass his health care bill first before he could send the troops because he didn't want to lose his left-wing base, which is anti-military.
You need to be calling some of these libs that host radio talk shows and telling them that they need to stop the rhetoric and get a little patriotic and start supporting the troops.
And then you might call CNN, and then you might call NBC, and then you might call the Washington Post, and you might call the New York Times and tell them what you just told me because you're talking to the wrong guy, you doofus.
Sorry, you idiot.
Might not understand the word doofus.
We, what is this we?
We need to stop the rhetoric.
Don't you understand, sir, the rhetoric of this program is principles that based on love of this country and trying to save it among the many institutions and traditions that defined its greatness, including the U.S. military.
Thanks for the call, Sam.
That's a great example.
Happy Veterans Day to you out there, Sam.
This is a great example of what we used to do caller clinics in the early days of this program.
That is a perfect example of a caller making the host look good.
We used to have, that's the primary requirement of a caller, make the host look good.
And many people misunderstood that.
Well, Limbaugh says he just wants a bunch of sycophants calling him, praising him, telling him how great it is.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
We need callers.
We get them now, but with the early days, callers that inspire even more brilliance from the host.
Who is the reason people are listening?
Anyway, Sam, as I said, happy Veterans Day out there.
Maybe we need to call President Obama the Iceman.
He has no emotion.
He doesn't show any emotion.
Look how he reacts to unemployment.
He's utterly unaffected.
It's like it doesn't bother him at all.
I want to share with you some excerpts of this piece by Toby Harnden in the UK Telegraph.
Barack Obama's reaction to bad news is to play it so cool that Americans yearn for a bit more drama and some even for his predecessor.
During the election campaign, Barack Obama's cool detachment was a winning quality.
The no-drama Obama, a welcome contrast to Mr. Angry John McCain.
Never mind the hot-headed I'm the decider, President Bush, which, by the way, characterization I never quite understood.
I never understood Bush being thought of as a hothead.
Bush said, you're either for us or against us.
You're with us or against us.
That's no different than Reagan saying, we win, they lose.
You know, Bush was just direct.
Bush violated political correctness at times.
That's, I guess, what people consider to be hot-headed.
We wanted him to be hot-headed, by the way, after 9-11.
We wanted hot-headedness.
That's the whole point of Toby's piece here.
A year into his presidency, however, Mr. Obama seems a curiously bloodless president.
If he experiences passion, he seldom shows it.
It's often anyone's guess as to whether an event or issue truly moves him.
No passion.
Perfect word for Obama, the ice man.
He has spent more than two months considering a troop increase, but do we know how he really feels about the Afghan war?
Yeah, we do.
He doesn't like victory.
He's not comfortable, Toby, with the concept of victory.
Yeah, we know how he feels about it.
And a sign that the Obama honeymoon truly is over, I began to hear this week the first stirrings of a wistfulness about Mr. Bush.
I never thought I'd hear myself say it, one Democrat told me, but Obama makes you feel that at least with Bush, you knew he was on something.
When Mr. Bush's Republicans were defeated in the 06 midterm elections, it was the president himself who stepped up and declared that his party had received a thumping.
The Democrat defeats on Tuesday were not on anything like the same scale, but Mr. Obama acted as if nothing at all had happened.
It took Senator Mark Warner of Virginia to admit that his party got walloped.
For three days, Obama maintained a studied silence about the results while his aides blamed him on local factors that had nothing to do with the president.
And to think that it was Mr. Bush who was always accused of being in denial, more serious perhaps was Obama's strange disconnectedness over the Fort Hood massacre of 13 soldiers by an army major and devout Muslim who opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, still is in our military somehow, had praised suicide bombing and shouted Allahu Akbar as he opened fire.
And the president says, we don't have any idea why this happened.
The president says, we really, these kind of things are inexplicable.
Maybe Mr. Obama had been reading the American press, much of which somehow contrived to be present to present the atrocity as a result of combat stress due to soldiers going on repeated war deployments, though, or deployments, though Hassan had not been on any.
And therefore, it was Mr. Bush's fault.
And in fact, I do believe, ladies and gentlemen, I thought I had a soundbite where it was Bush's fault.
Maybe I do.
Let me check the roster.
I got over 34 soundbites today.
Let's see.
Can't find one.
So I'll stick with the Tommy Hardned piece.
When the television networks cut to the president, viewers listened to him spend more than two surreal minutes talking to a gathering of Native Americans about their extraordinary and extremely productive conference, pausing to give a cheery shout out to a man named Dr. Joe Medicine Crow, only then did he briefly and mechanically address what had happened in Texas.
On Friday, when most of the basic facts were available, Mr. Obama tried again.
It was scarcely any better.
He began by offering an update on the tragedy that took place as if it was an earthquake and not a terrorist attack from an enemy within.
Completely missing was the eloquence that Mr. Obama employs when talking about himself.
Absent, too, was any sense that the president empathized with the families and comrades of those murdered.
It was a reminder that for the past 16 years, Americans have had two presidents who would often extemporize and express emotion.
Bill Clinton could certainly feel your pain.
Bush sometimes struggled to hold back tears.
Obama's more like President Bush Sr., famously communicated his concern for people by blurting out message, I care.
With unemployment now above 10%, Obama needs to show Americans that he can relate to what they're going through and take responsibility.
It can do him good to show he has a bit of fire in his belly.
Perhaps he might make a decision or two based on gut instinct.
Toby, I'll tell you why this isn't going to happen.
Barack Obama once said to Harry Reid, Harry, I've got a gift.
Obama thinks it's his speeches.
Folks, you do not understand the ego of this man, the narcissistic ego of this man.
The hardest thing for him to do every day is to turn away from the mirror after he gets dressed.
And he thinks that his speeches soar and lift people's souls and inspire them to great actions and deeds.
His Berlin speech, his Cairo speech, the fake columns acceptance speech in Denver, at Invesco Field at Mile High.
I mean, all over the place.
This speech, yes, I'm sure he thinks that it was one of the greatest ever.
But speeches, folks, speeches, words.
Speeches are not going to convince the Iranians to un-nuke.
Speeches and words are not going to persuade the pot-bellied little dictator in North Korea to give up his nukes.
Speeches are not going to change anything happening in Venezuela or other dictatorial outposts all over the world.
So he's not going to stop making these empty speeches.
In fact, I've got to find this out during the break.
There's a story I missed from over the weekend in the New York Times by Peter Baker, in which this whole point was made.
Mr. President, these speeches are starting to sound tired and the same.
And yeah, yeah, here it is.
I just happened to find it.
The president whose words once soared, November 8th, Peter Baker, as the most gifted orator of his generation, President Obama, he's not an orator.
He's a teleprompter reader.
As the most gifted orator of his generation, President Obama finds speechmaking perhaps his most potent political tool.
It propelled him to national prominence in 2004 and the White House in 2008.
And whenever he needs to calm economic fears or revive stalled health care legislation, he takes to the lectern.
He isn't calming anybody.
This is the point.
But the limits of rhetoric were on display last week when the president could not rescue two foundering candidates in governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia.
Mr. Obama lost his oratorical touch?
Is the magic finally beginning to fade?
Does the White House rely too heavily on his skills on the stump to advance his priorities?
It may be too soon to reach such conclusions.
The Democrats who lost last week, after all, had fatal flaws all their own, but the results do suggest that Obama's addresses these days may not resonate quite the way they did.
Speeches that once set pulses racing now feel more familiar because they are the same thing.
They're the same thing regurgitated over and over and again.
We live in an era of divisiveness.
We live in an age of cynicism.
We live in an age of selfishness.
My country sucks.
But now that I'm here, it's going to get better.
And we're going to work hard and we're going to find jobs.
These speeches do not inspire anymore.
The New York Times on Sunday questioning Obama's one true gift.
Here's the dirty little secret.
People are sick of speeches.
People want jobs.
If you read this whole New York Times piece on Sunday, the president whose words once soared, what you learn is that the New York Times is really, really worried.
They know this is the only gift the guy's really got.
That's how he gets people mesmerized to vote for him, and he's losing it.
The risk for any president is that at some point the public begins to tune out.
There's interesting polling data out today all over the place.
And it's fascinating.
Look at that.
Both Gallup and Rasmussen have the generic congressional ballot.
Republicans up six.
And the Rasmussen poll up, I think, four in the Gallup poll.
And this is unprecedented.
And in both instances, it is independents helping the Republicans' cause.
This is after the health care vote.
This is after the health care vote.
Well, let's see.
After the election, that's for sure.
But let's see.
I only printed out the first page of Gallup.
Let's see what it doesn't have the date.
Let's see what Rasmussen says.
Well, I can't find the date range.
I'm scanning too quickly here, but I don't know if it's after the health care vote.
It certainly is after the election, but it's unprecedented.
Republicans have never had this kind of a generic ballot lead.
Democrats always lead in the generic ballot.
They always do.
And I'm reminded here that you got Axelrod and Rom Emmanuel out there saying that Republican registration, Republican identification is at an all-time low.
However, conservatism doubles liberalism, 40 to 20, also Gallup.
But in both polls, it's independents that are moving, and it is healthcare.
It's the whole Obama, just the economy.
It is.
Now, we're going to have to call the Democrat Party the Kamikaze Party.
And I'll tell you, Bill Clinton went up to the Senate yesterday and personally gave these guys instructions on how to fly their zeros into our aircraft carriers and do it for the good of the party.
It's an amazing thing to watch.
Democrats wouldn't, well, we know they'll throw their own overboard like they did with Cray Deeds to the phone quickly before we have to take a break.
Jason in Houston, you're next on the EIB network.
Sir, hello.
Rush, thank you for taking the call.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you, sir.
You remember mentioning the guy from the New York Post that was on O'Reilly, and he asked the question halfway rhetorically: what's it going to take for Obama to admit this is a terrorist attack?
And I was riding with my wife in the car when the answer struck me, along with some expletives, that it's going to take for something like this to happen on video is my opinion.
If this attack at Fort Hood had been on video and everyone could see the step-by-step, and I don't want to get too graphic, but could see what was happening and hear what was happening, I don't think even Obama could maintain his agenda-driven denial.
Perhaps don't underestimate this guy in his ability to cast this as something else.
Jason, we have 9-11 on video.
And look how quickly people have forgotten that.
We have 9-11 on video, and we have a large percentage of this country, mostly Democrats, who think that George Bush knew about it and engineered it and let it happen.
So don't think that just a video is going to persuade.
If Obama wants to stay in denial about this, then he will find a way to try to pull it off.
I mean, this is blatant.
This is blatant.
We know intelligence agencies knew everything about this guy.
He was connected to a radical Imam who advised, inspired, two 9-11 hijackers.
He was in the same mosque.
He was communicating with this Imam 10 to 20 times via email.
Allahu Akbar, when he opens fire.
I mean, this is more than denial going on.
I had a little monologue on this inability of Obama to connect the dots.
Probably coming up sometime in the next hour.
It fits in here.
Okay, the Gallup poll was November 5th through the 8th.
So that would include, I think, the healthcare debate.
And get this.
Essentially, the Republicans in the generic ballot in the Gallup poll have gone up 10% since the tea parties began.
And that's why Clinton and Obama are out there calling them teabags and teabaggers and so forth.
