Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Every day I keep expecting a little bit of a respite.
A little bit of a slowdown.
Well, no.
Today we're told that in the last three months the stimulus created a million jobs, a total of two million.
What do they think?
They just keep saying it long enough and we're all gonna believe this.
Greetings, my friends.
Uh great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh, emitting vocal vibrations.
Coast to coast on the most listened to radio talk show in America.
Telephone number 800 282882 email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
And a shout out to those of you watching the program on our high definition ditto cam today.
So you're impressed with that, are you?
It is amazing.
You know, people uh people sending email feel like we're really in the studio with you, which is what I said when I first started watching uh football games on high def.
You feel like you're there.
Anyway, uh uh we're doing it via Flash.
You don't need Windows Media Player, real player.
All you gotta do is go to Rush Limbaugh.com, find the orange banner at the top of the page.
Click on the uh HD link there, you'll see, and follow the easy instructions to uh to follow the program now in in high definition.
Uh my friends, uh the first story today uh really is only one to enable me to pat myself on the back and show you exactly what being on the cutting edge of societal evolution is.
More than five thousand people were kicked off of beautiful people.com for losing their looks over the holiday season.
Fat people, this is a dating website, beautiful people.com.
Fat people have been kicked off.
They only allow beautiful members.
Now, the online dating site has a strict ban on ugly people.
Do you remember it was back in the 1980s?
I I did my first ever commentary on banning the ugly from the streets in daytime.
And uh people said, Well, how how are you how are you gonna do this?
Well, the easiest thing to do is we make it voluntary.
The ugly know who they are.
In this case, at this uh this is a uh story from the UK telegraph.
According to Beautiful People.com, vigilant members called for drastic action after users posted photos of themselves celebrating Christmas and the new year, revealing they had let themselves go.
So the Chubby and the Fat, now we need the fat lobby on this.
The Chubby and the Fat have been kicked off of this dating website.
Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model, say the people that run the website.
All right, Haiti.
Here's President Obama speaking about Haiti uh this morning in Washington at the White House.
He held a press conference.
Now, I want you to remember it took him three days.
Three days to respond to the Christmas Day fruit of kaboom bomber.
Three days.
And when he came out after those three days, he was clearly irritated that he had to do it.
He didn't want to do it.
Uh he comes out here in less than twenty-four hours to speak about Haiti.
I have directed my administration to respond with a swift, coordinated and aggressive effort to save lives.
The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States in the urgent effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble and to deliver the humanitarian relief, the food, water, and medicine that Haitians will need in the coming days.
Oh, this is what he lives for.
He lives for serving those in misery.
Now, but don't misunderstand here, folks.
See, this is I I I I wonder I don't have the whole press conference, but I wonder did he apologize for America before, acknowledging we are the only people on earth that can possibly help him out down there in any significant way.
By the way, I've checked it out.
Cuba has offered nothing.
Venezuela has offered nothing.
They have nothing to offer.
Then it Venezuela's gonna send 30 people.
Well, it's probably people want to get out of there anyway because they're having rolling blackouts in Venezuela in Caracas, which is an oil-driven sense, it's the most amazing thing.
That that that w the vision of our future is right before our eyes in Venezuela.
Socialists cut devalued the currency on purpose a couple days ago, putting people in jail if they raise prices as a result of this.
We are devaluing our own currency not as rapidly as Hugo Chavez did, but we're doing it with all of our deficit spending and borrowing.
At any rate, here's here's another portion of the president's statement.
Despite the fact that we are experiencing tough times here at home, I would encourage those Americans who want to support the urgent humanitarian efforts to go to Whitehouse.gov where you can learn how to contribute.
We will be resolute in our response, and I pledge to the people of Haiti that you will have a friend and partner in the United States of America today and going forward.
May God bless the people of Haiti and those working on their behalf.
So the country that he runs around the world apologizing for, the country that he has the chip on his shoulder about, he now turns to as its president and asks people who have lost their jobs because of his policies to donate to White High White House.gov to the people of Haiti.
And we will do it.
We are the most charitable and the most generous people on the face of the earth.
Each and every time a natural disaster like this happens, we step up.
are there.
Despite the fact we're experiencing tough times here at home, I would encourage those Americans who want to support the urgent humanitarian effort...
You know, this country, uh I have I have been to Haiti way, way back long time ago when it was a cruise ship stop, Port of Prince.
And I've seen pictures of Haiti.
It is a devastatingly poor place, and it nothing has ever changed.
And right across the mountain ridge in the middle, you've got the Dominican Republic, uh, which is like night and day.
It's it's like night and day.
And what is the what's the one common factor?
That place, Haiti has been run by dictators and communists.
And how long is it going to be?
How long is it going to be before we hear Obama and the left in this country say that what we really need to do is reinstate the communist Aristide to the leadership position down there to coordinate putting the country uh back together.
Uh the Haitian economy is entirely dependent on foreign aid.
They produce nothing.
Zilch zero nada.
And that and that it's been that way for the longest time.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who you will next hear, was on MSNBC Live this morning.
And she um she essentially says that uh Haiti and its current plight is our fault.
I knew it wouldn't take long for some Democrat to get there.
The question she was asked was this I want to know if you can put into perspective how difficult it is when you talk about there not being much infrastructure to begin with, how much um challenging that makes the relief effort now.
You should think of the most primitive environments, the most primitive living conditions that you can imagine.
It is wrong, especially in in a region as prosperous as this one, for us to continue to allow the desperate situation that exists in Haiti to continue.
And I want to conclude by saying that in particular, it's incredibly important that the United States grant TPS temporary protective status to the Haitians that are here, because the last thing in the world that we need to have happen is for Haitians who are here to be sent back to Haiti in this desperate hour that they are struggling through.
There's no way they could support that.
You know, I I I could sit here and be really cynical.
I'll hold off on the cynicism for a couple hours.
I'll hold off on it.
I'm gonna hold off on it just to give the the show's flow a chance to establish because it's gonna be the media tweak of the day.
And uh I I just yeah, wait till about 215 when they're occupied with something else Obama's doing, and then I'll make my my cynical comment.
You know, Bill Clinton's the envoy to Haiti.
We I guess we're thankful he wasn't there.
He did he sent his thoughts and prayers.
He's the Haiti envoy.
You may not have remembered that, folks, but uh Obama made him the envoy.
Did you not know that, Don?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, well, that's because you know he's got experience this kind.
He's called up the Arkansas National Guard before, so he knows but uh I uh he wasn't there.
Uh uh well, very fortunate uh that Bill Clinton was not there in his official position as envoy.
So here you have Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
It is wrong, especially in a region as prosperous as this one to continue to allow the desperate situation that exists in Haiti to continue.
It's our fault.
It's our fault that Haiti is in its current state of devastation.
We should take it over.
We should do something.
Annex it, make it a state, imperialism.
Yeah, to make it a state, take it over.
Um the let's see, no word from Cuba about aid.
They're not sending anything.
They don't have anything to do.
You say Hugo's gonna send 30 people, a team of 30 p and some supplies.
All right, well, good for him.
Now, here are some facts uh about Haiti.
It's uh one-third of the island of Hispaniola.
It's in the Caribbean, located between Cuba and Puerto Rico, one of the poorest countries in the Western hemisphere.
Eighty percent of the residents live in poverty.
Uh it's one of the most densely populated, least developed countries in the Western hemisphere.
And of course, this, according to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is our fault.
Uh Jean-Claude Duvalier declared himself president for life in 1964 as uh and ruled as a dictator in August of 1971, he died.
Um, and his son declared himself president for life.
He uses secret police force called the Tontons Makutis, which is bogeyman to enforce his policies.
Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the communist in December 1990, won Haiti's first free election, and in 91, Aristide was outed in a military coup.
He fled the country.
The Organization of American States and the United Nations-led trade boycotts to try to force Aristide's return to power.
Many Haitians tried to flee to the U.S., they were forced back to Haiti.
Later the refugees were sent to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
In September of 1994, President Clinton, now the envoy of Haiti, sent a delegation there in hopes of avoiding a military conflict.
He sent President Carter, General Powell, and Senator Sam Nunn.
The peace deal does prevent an outbreak of fighting.
And what happened was Colin Powell went in there and he took one of these uh military leaders they were talking, I forget the guy's name.
It might be General Cedris.
Yeah, I think it was just you what a member you got there, H.R. General Cedras.
He took General Cedris over to a window in this decrepit room and building they were in.
He said, General, you see this window.
Ten minutes after we leave this building, I can have a missile fired and hit right through this window.
That's that's when General Powell uh was still a Republican and was not making the top 100 liberal lists in uh uh British newspapers.
Uh I did not know until I looked this up.
February 24th of 2004, the Reverend Al Sharpton, as a presidential candidate, states that both Aristide and the political opposition leaders approved his suggestion to travel to Haiti to broker a peace agreement after the former U.S. backed peace plan was rejected by opposition leaders.
In February 28th, uh four days later, Secretary of State Powell urged Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristry to step down.
According to senior State Department officials, Aristide reaffirms his stance on his position.
He will not leave until his term expires 2006.
And the guy, Aristide's a communist.
Now, I do think that part and parcel of helping out down there, it won't be long before somebody in the Obama administration suggests that we reinstate, reinstall Aristide.
Because there's sympathy with these kind of people.
So we'll keep a sharp eye on this.
But uh I'm I'm I'm I'm just fascinated here that the country the president of the United States feels the need to apologize for, the country the president of the United States feels is immoral and unjust, can barely contain himself running to the cameras in less than 24 hours after this earthquake to pledge aid uh and to ask citizens who have lost their jobs because of his policies to donate to the relief effort.
So there you go.
Quick timeout.
Much, much more straight ahead on the EIB network, including another C I Told You So, the media now starting to acknowledge that voters are starting to have buyers' remorse.
This is based on two polls out there that show that over half the country, or at least half the country think Obama is a failure after his first year.
Again, cutting edge societal evolution.
Oh, by folks.
At this time, 13 congressional liberals are meeting with President Obama to put together a health care bill that'll get House Democrats and Senate Democrats to agree.
Charlie Wrangles out there in a roll call saying we're in big trouble.
We are in big trouble.
The health care talks are stalled.
We face a serious problem.
The difficulty in hashing out an agreement between the two chambers is largely due to there being so many different factions with a stake in the matter, Wrangle said.
Normally you're just dealing with the Senate, and they talk about 60 votes, and you listen to him and cave in, but this is entirely different.
I'm telling you that never has 218 been so important to me in the House.
So the uh there's a secret meeting going on up there uh between 13 congressional liberals and the president.
Let's let's tune into C SPAN and and Oh.
That's the Florida House.
Oh, let's go to C SPAN 2.
Hang on, just uh.
C SPAN 2 has financial inquiry hearings.
Okay, C SPAN 3.
Do we have C-SPAN 3 on we don't have it?
Well, that's probably where the health care hearings are.
The health.
Healthcare hearings are not on C SPAN 3.
Oh, oh, wait, oh, I sorry, you're right at C SPAN 3 House Armed Service Committee hearing.
We were promised coverage on C-SPAN eight times.
The American people can't see what's going on.
Republicans in Congress can't see what's going on.
Not even the poor SAP Democrats in Congress, other than these 13 liberals can see what's going on.
There is no C-SPAN 4.
That's where it's at C SPAN.
And the media, of course, couldn't care less.
It's not a health care reform bill, it's an Obama ego stroke bill.
That's all that matters.
We will be back.
You know, this is amazing, folks.
I I I don't know if you know this or not, but last night, Martha Coakley, the Democrat candidate in Massachusetts, was in Washington for a fundraiser, and the fundraiser was uh basically put on for her by insurance and uh insurance company and and and uh pharmaceutical uh lobbyists.
And I'm gonna comment on that later.
Uh because what in the world are these two groups trying to help a Democrat get elected for and maintain this this stupid Obama?
I'll tell you what's going on with that in just a second.
But after when she came out of the restaurant last night, she was followed by a reporter named John McCormick.
He's from the Weekly Standard.
And he uh he tried to ask her a question, and somebody came and shoved him to the sidewalk into a metal railing, and he fell down in the sidewalk.
And then this same person, this is a this is a taught tactic.
Then the same person, oh my God, somebody fell, goes down, helps the person up, and then kept bumping the guy, the reporter, so he couldn't get close to Cochlean.
Now, Coakley, this was assault and battery.
The video shows it was it was Michael Meehan, who's been uh Democrat uh congressional campaign committee guy, uh message expert who's been imported at the last moment here to try to help out the Coakley campaign.
So he pushes the video is clear as a bell here, pushes the reporter down to the sidewalk, then immediately helps him up, and uh keeps him away from Cochley.
Coakley is an attorney general.
She sat there, stood there, and watched this whole thing take place and didn't do anything about it.
It was like it's like Eric Holder with the Black Panther, a new Black Panther Party in uh in Philadelphia.
Now I want you to listen to how the Boston Globe has reported this.
The headline, reporter takes tumble chasing Massachusetts candidate.
That's not what happened.
The reporter was pushed to the sidewalk.
A reporter trying to question Massachusetts state candidate to Senate candidate Martha Coakley involved in a scuffle with one of her aides, John McCormick of the Weekly Standard fell Tuesday night as he tried to speak with the Democrat while simultaneously videotaping her and trying to pass a metal gate on a Washington sidewalk.
Photos and video of the incident show that Cochley aide Michael Meehan trying to help McCormick up.
A scuffle broke out as Meehan tried to block McCormick and determine if he was an operative of a rival campaign.
He's not an operative, he's an accredited journalist, and you know who he is.
He's the guy, by the way, that Didi Schuzefova call a cops on.
Uh in New York 23, if we're approaching her, as she uh trying to get in her car.
Anyway, more on the this is just amazingly outrageous and hilarious.
Yes, I think in the uh in the Haiti earthquake, uh, ladies and gentlemen, in the words of Rom Emanuel, we uh we have another crisis simply too good to waste.
This will play right into Obama's hands, humanitarian, compassionate uh.
Uh they'll use this to uh to burnish uh their uh uh shall we say credibility with uh uh the black community in uh both light skinned and dark skinned black community in uh in this country.
Uh it's made to order for him.
That's why he couldn't wait to get out there.
Could not wait to get out there.
Now, back to this Cochlear story.
This this Boston Globe story, uh it is it's comical.
It is i it is so wrong as to almost be a parody.
And the problem, see, this is exactly what's wrong with print media.
Everything that they write can be fact checked by their readers.
All one has to do is go to the internet and look at the video and see that this reporter did not fall down.
He did not stumble.
He was pushed down.
And then by a guy named Michael Meehan, been identified pretty close.
And then Meehan hurriedly, oh, oh, oh, oh, let me help you up, man.
Let me know what happened here.
And the the way this is reported is just comical.
A reporter trying to question Martha Coakley was involved in a scuffle with one of her aides.
So far, so good.
John McCormick of the Weekly Standard fell Tuesday night as he tried to speak with the Democrat while simultaneously videotaping her and trying to pass a metal gate.
He was pushed into the metal gate and then ended up on the sidewalk.
Photos and video of the incident show Coakley aide Michael Meehan trying to help McCormick up.
Yeah, that's true.
But the photos and video of the incident also show Meehan pushing and shoving Coakley into the metal grate and to the sidewalk.
And then McCormick blocked Meehan, uh, Meehan brought McCormick to determine he was an operative of a rival campaign when everybody knows he's a journalist.
He's been asking questions in his campaign uh throughout.
So it's uh it's it's a taught tactic.
Now, the uh something similar, uh, ladies and gentlemen, has happened in the Gallup poll, the way something's been reported here.
Uh in the Gallup poll, Obama's ratings on the economy and health care have reached a new low.
In the Gallup poll.
You know what their headline is?
Obama approval on terrorism up to 49%.
Americans' viewers of Barack Obama's handling of terrorism remain closely divided, but mark a slight improvement from before the Christmas Day bombing attempt, uh, with more Americans now approving than disapproving of how he is handling the issue.
While Obama's approval rating on terrorism is inched up, his approval ratings for handling the economy and health care have declined slightly since they were last measured to late November.
His current 40% approval rating on the economy, 37% rating on health care are the lowest of his presidency to date.
They just a slight decline.
Just a slight decline out there.
Oh, but he's really, really up on terrorism.
So two great examples here of how the uh uh the bad news is the Gallup poll buried.
Well, it's not buried, but it's it's uh it it it doesn't lead to terrorism stuff does.
And this Boston Globe story on on this incident with Meehan and and uh McCormick is just comical.
And it as I say, it is exactly why they're having big problem.
Back to the audio sound bite now, and uh this I wanted I want I predicted this was going to happen.
This is November 3rd, 2008.
I made this prediction before the election.
I mean, it's a huge C I told you so day for old L. Rushbow out there.
I don't think that the substance of who he is is relevant.
Otherwise he wouldn't be above thirty percent.
He's a symbol of something to a lot of people.
And and he's a blank slate, and they are making of Obama whatever they want him to be.
If he wins this, there is going to be some severe buyer's remorse.
Severe buyer's remorse.
I said that the day before the election, November 3rd, 2008 this morning.
On Morning Joe, PMS, NBC, the syndicated columnist Mike Barnacle said this about President Obama.
You'll Mika Bzinsky pipes in here, too.
You have more and more people, at least anecdotally, I've picked this up, edging towards buyer remorse over their vote for Barack Obama.
It's very interesting.
Yeah, very interesting.
Once again, folks, you listen to this program.
You will know what's going to happen if it involves liberals long before anybody else.
It's it's not, you know, I'm not clairvoyant, and I'm I'm not uh uh able to see the future.
I have no crystal ball.
All I have is an encyclopedic knowledge of liberals.
How they operate, how they get people to vote for them, and who they are.
And it was clear as a bell.
Here's a guy campaigning on zero substance, uh campaigning on on a on a feel on a on a it was blank slate.
You could make Obama out to be whatever you wanted to be, and people were doing that.
We've never had somebody like this before.
Politics will never be the same.
We're all gonna love each other and get along, post-racial, post-partisan, post-achievement.
Uh and none of it has happened, and the situation economically continues to get worse and worse and worse.
The administration lies and lies and lies about it.
They promised transparency, uh, health care bill is happening, nobody knows what's in it, nobody knows what's going on.
None of this promised eight times.
It's just very simple.
Uh the the only thing confuses me is, it doesn't really confuse me.
It frustrates me.
If I can become encyclopedically knowledgeable of liberals, so can you.
So can everybody.
And there has been plenty of liberalism over the course of my life for me to learn absolutely who these people are, how they operate, and what's going to happen when they are in charge.
You can look at Detroit.
You can look at New Orleans.
You can now look at California, which has been run into the ground by liberal Democrats, shoring up nothing but unions and state workers and so forth.
It's it's it's and now Schwarzenegger is making it even worse.
He's what is he's made the f uh he's considering the nation's first statewide green building code.
That is absolute disaster for the construction industry and what the hell is a green building code.
All it is gonna be is further restrictions on liberty, freedom, and the uh and the use of entrepreneurial ideas that people have in developing homes, buildings uh whatever kind of commercial or residential uh development that takes place.
It's just simply a disaster.
Absolute disaster.
So buyer's remorse, I was able to say it before the election, and it's having that's why you know I was able to say I wanted him to fail, and now half the country in polls says his first year has been a failure.
F. Chuck Todd uh on MSNBC, he's the uh White House no, he's the political director now, uh, for NBC.
And the was on MSC is a daily rundown show this morning, and uh is actually suggested uh an ad that Martha Coakley could run In her campaign against Scott Brown.
Another sign this race is finally getting even more national attention.
Rush Limbaugh weighed in on his radio show.
She is the entrenched machine candidate here.
She's attorney general or has been.
I never heard of her until all this got started, but um, any rate, she's she's just a uh a sock puppet.
You know, for Harry Reed and the Democrats.
Well, we shall see.
I'm guessing that Rush Limbaugh sought might make its way into a Democratic ad soon.
All right, uh Rush Limbaugh Sot.
That's SO Titts abbreviation for sound on tape in the uh in the television business.
So uh F. Chuck uh is suggesting here that Coakley put that comment of mine in an ad that she's just gonna be a sock puppet for Harry Reid and the Democrats.
I think what we actually need, uh, folks, what we actually need is Obama going up there and as many Democrats as possible going up there to endorse and campaign for this woman, because that I mean that would that would uh I did kill it.
Uh that there's so much anti-incumbent, anti-democrat, anti-political establishment, anti-machine uh sentiment up there uh that it would be uh great and there's here's look from the from the plumb line.
This is a blog by Greg Sargent.
I think at the Washington Post, although I think he's blogging there.
He might still have his independent blog in a sign of serious worry about the increasingly tense battle for Ted Kennedy's seat.
The Democrat National Committee and Martha Coakley campaign have blasted a private memo to top National Democrat donors, claiming internal polling shows the race is very tight, making an urgent appeal for donations.
The memo, sent over by a source, is the latest sign the campaign surge Scott Brown has caught the Democrat establishment off guard.
It admits that the mobilization by big national conservative groups for Brown is working and acknowledges that the Democrat campaign is having trouble moving independence.
They are losing independence.
In Massachusetts, Republicans are not particularly popular.
The hardcore Republicans, of course, could be on board.
Hardcore Democrats could be on board for Coakley.
But the independents are moving.
And this is a nationwide trend.
It happened in uh in the elections in uh in Virginia.
Where was the other one?
Uh New Jersey, New Jersey, independence moving in droves to the to the Republicans.
Um our internal polling shows the race to be a very tight race.
It means we must do everything we can to ensure we are victorious, reads the memo.
This additional assistance being spent on Brown's behalf seems to be working, the memo continues, alluding to outside money being spent by groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Club for Growth.
The memo's claim the Coakley campaign's internal polling shows the race to be very tight, appears at odds with another leaked internal Democrat poll that showed Cochley with a double-digit lead uh separately.
Ben Smith, the political reports a DNC is poised to sink a half a million dollars into the race.
Another sign that National Democrats see the need for an urgent last-minute push to salvage Kennedy's seat.
But as Scott Brown said yes, it's not Kennedy's seat.
And then there's the update on a private conference call with top Democrat donors today.
Martha Coakley acknowledged the Scott Brown surge has been frightening.
Frightening, urgent, frightening, very close worry.
It's a real battle.
Things are not well.
And this this incident, by the way, with uh with with uh this mee hand clown pushing the reporter to the sidewalk and into that metal uh uh great, gate, whatever it was, metal railing.
Uh who is it?
Michael Michael Graham in a blog post at uh the corner says, you know, there's a this this is symbolic.
This is symbolic of the way the people are being pushed around by Democrats all over this country.
The people of this country being pushed around.
They don't want health care, they don't want cap and trade, they don't want global warming, so they don't want any, and yet the Democrats are doing it anyway.
We're all just being pushed around, and here it happened.
For one and all the sea in Massachusetts.
Sorry, folks, waiting for a um document to print here.
Back Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
How panicked are the Democrats at the prospect that uh Scott Brown will do the unthinkable and win the special election for the open Senate seat in Massachusetts next Tuesday.
Enough that, and I love this.
Enough that Harry Reed, despite his desperate fight to save his own job in Nevada, has returned to Washington to do what he can to help the hapless Democrat candidate, the charisma deprived Martha Cochley.
Hang on.
Enough that NBC political director F. Chuck Todd describes top Democrats as having a huge concern over the Massachusetts race.
Here is F. Chuck Todd talking with uh Savannah Guthrie today about the Massachusetts race.
Democrats are in full-fledged panic mode.
This isn't about losing their 60th vote in the Senate.
This is about losing health care.
They know it.
If Cochley loses, health care is dead, and it would make 2009 seem like a domestic policy disaster, both for this White House and the Democratic Party.
That's why it's all hands on deck now in Massachusetts.
Six days to go, Savannah.
Well, see, the president gets up there and campaigns for Cochlee Chalk.
Oh, please, please do.
Please take Air Force One and load it up.
Take Michelle My Bell, take Harry Reed.
Take them all up there.
Get Barney Frank on the case.
Get them all up there.
Get Chris Dodd.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, see, it's all about health care.
It's all about.
Yesterday we shared with you polling news that Democrats in the House who did not vote for health care are doing fine in their re-election efforts.
The dirty little secret is, and I have been, you know, I've been very compassionate here, folks.
I've been warning the blue dog Democrats.
I said, look at, you know, Nancy Pelosi wants you out of there.
She doesn't like you being there.
She's willing to lose this big majority she's got to get rid of you.
And you can't have it both ways.
You can't go home and claim to be fiscally conservative and moderate and all that rot and vote for this.
And if you do vote for it, you are guaranteed to lose your re-election effort.
And yet, uh, here's F. Chuck Todd.
If Cochley loses, health care's dead, it would make 2009 seem like a domestic policy disaster.
The dirty little secret is that Democrats are safe if this thing goes down.
I mean, the far left in some places are going to be very upset.
But there's there's much less political fallout if this fails.
That's see, that's the dirty little secret.
Obama doesn't care.
He doesn't care who he destroys.
He doesn't care what happens to Democrat Party.
In fact, there's a part of me that believes Obama wouldn't mind the Republicans taking over the House.
And I've said this before.
Oh, you don't think you don't think that's right?
Oh, he'd love it.
What's his number one tactic, Don?
He blames everybody still blaming Bush.
To have the Republicans to blame for standing in his way?
Oh, I think he would love it.
Do you think he likes the position he's in now?
He owns both chambers and can't get anything done.
After he's two slush funds, he can't get anything.
Oh, speaking of the slush funds.
Man, the the rash of big lies that we are getting from this White House on the economy, breathtaking.
They are claiming that their slush fund has created a million jobs in three months.
The slush fund is the porculus bill.
It's a slush fund.
Now, if if that this is new, and by the way, they're they've they've they've they've changed the way they count now yesterday, so this is how they can report it today.
Why did a report just come out that 85,000 jobs are lost in December?
Why are people so discouraged about the job market?
They're no longer looking.
In September, White House staff claimed a stimulus bill created upwards of 1.1 million jobs as of the third quarter.
There's uh also broad agreement that's uh likely added between 600,000 and 1.1 billion.
And then the very next quarterly report, they claim as many as two million jobs resulting from the stimulus in the third and fourth quarters.
Two milli they're claiming a million new jobs in this last three months, two million jobs in the last six.
This is a teachable moment.
Liberals lie.
They said the unemployment would never get above eight percent.
Now they're taking credit for keeping it at ten.
Uh, President Obama, folks, cites in his book, Dreams of My Father, page 293, the passages of Wright's Audacity to Hope speech that most inspired him.
What Reverend Wright said.
This is what one of the things Wright said that most inspired Obama.
In this, uh it is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks' greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere.
That's the world on which hope sits.
That's a Reverend Wright's statement.
