	Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
	Just a real quick question here.
	Ladies and gentlemen, if Obama can lower the seas, then why can't he clear the snow from the streets?
	If he can lower the seas, why can't he make the snow not hit the ground when it's supposed 20 more inches in Washington, which is a godsend?
	Ladies and gentlemen, have you noticed the global warming wacko's record snowfall for the year?
	New York, Philadelphia, Washington.
	So what?
	Whatever.
	No big deal.
	We're going to go ahead and build our climate unit here in the U.S. government to monitor global warming.
	Greetings, welcome back.
	Great to have you here.
	Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network telephone number 800-282-2882.
	The email address, lrushbaugh at EIBnet.com.
	Boy, it's a piece of breaking out all over.
	Have you seen about it?
	Moscow says that U.S. Missile Shield is aimed at Russia.
	Israel is urging crippling sanctions now against Iran.
	And this latest from state-controlled Reuters out of Beijing, senior Chinese military officers have proposed that their country boost defense spending, adjust PLA deployments, the People's Liberation Army deployments, and possibly sell some U.S. bonds to punish Washington.
	More peace.
	China military men sell U.S. bonds to punish Washington.
	More peace breaking out all over the world here in the era of Obama.
	And I have just a little quick question here, folks.
	What's the difference?
	What's the difference between New York City's rejection of the terrorist trials and the country's rejection of healthcare?
	I mean, Obama says, well, I just haven't closed the book here on maybe doing the trial in New York City, but when the mayor doesn't want it and when the governor doesn't want it and when local officials don't want it, well, you got to listen to that.
	Well, what about when the American people don't want your stupid health care bill?
	You don't got to listen to that, right?
	And then there's this.
	The Obama administration yesterday asked California's largest for-profit health insurer to justify plans to increase customers' premiums by as much as 39%, a move that could affect some 800,000 customers.
	In a letter to the president of Anthem Blue Cross, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that she was very disturbed, very concerned to learn of the planned increases, calling them extraordinary.
	Yeah, maybe so, but let me tell you something, Kathleen Sebelius.
	Most Americans are worried about your rate increase on the rest of us.
	All these taxes that are coming our way.
	How come you never get anybody concerned about government raising costs to the people in the form of taxes and then squandering the money?
	There's big, big, big chatter out there, ladies and gentlemen, and it's all over NPR and throughout the internet.
	Apparently, there is a billboard out there in Wyoming, Minnesota.
	Got a huge photo of former President Bush on it with this question, miss me yet?
	And there is, we haven't seen this.
	It's just a rumor.
	However, there is a friend of NPRs, Bob Collins, Minnesota Public Radio, assures us he's seen it with his own eyes.
	And there's a picture here, but in this day and age, nobody knows if the picture has been photoshopped or what have you.
	And I'll hear the details on this.
	The Obama administration yesterday, amidst all of this record-setting cold weather, proposed a new agency to study and report on the changing climate, also known as global warming.
	Climate change has drawn widespread concern in recent years as temperatures around the world rise, threatening to harm crops, spread disease, increase sea levels.
	No, Obama took care of that, change storm and drought patterns, and cause polar melting.
	Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Jane Lubchenko, the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, announced that NOAA will set up the new climate service to operate in tandem with NOAA's National Weather Service and National Ocean Service.
	They haven't delayed this, though, because of the snow.
	I'm not kidding.
	They're having to delay setting up the office because they're expecting another 16 to 20 inches in Washington.
	I mean, this is absurd.
	Absurd.
	Also known as this is a state-controlled and a joyous AP, I might add.
	Also known as global warming climate change history.
	Are they yes, they are purposefully ignoring the ongoing hoax that global warming, man-made global warming is.
	Let's go back audio soundbite-wise.
	This is a good reminder, ladies and gentlemen, because President Obama has hit an all-time low in his approval numbers now.
	He's down to 44% in a couple of polls, 46% in another.
	And where is the state-controlled media reporting this?
	They are ignoring Obama's plunge.
	And it is a plunge in the approval numbers.
	March 13th of 2006, however, Wolf Blitzer on the Situation Room, a montage of discussion about President Bush's job approval numbers.
	It's 4 p.m. here in Washington.
	You're getting the first look right now at our brand new poll.
	The president's job approval rating has taken a downward turn again, falling to only 36%.
	This represents his lowest rating ever in the CNN USA Today Gallup poll.
	The president's poll numbers are pretty bad, pretty awful right now.
	Rock bottom as far as the CNN USA Today Gallup poll.
	The president's a rock problem and his new low point in the polls.
	His approval and policies now are at new lows.
	The president's job approval number in this new CNN USA Today Gallup, rock bottom, the lowest it's ever been.
	It's 5 p.m. here in Washington where President Bush takes a beating in our latest poll.
	His approval rating at a low - our latest CNN USA Today Gallup poll just out in the past hour shows the president at an all-time low.
	His job approval rating at a new low.
	That's rock bottom as far as our poll is concerned.
	It's 7 p.m. here in Washington.
	The war in Iraq comes home to roost for President Bush.
	Our latest poll numbers showing his approval rating at a new low.
	Also, President Bush hits a new low in the polls.
	Now back to our lead story.
	President Bush's approval rating now at an all-time low.
	As we noted, a new CNN USA Today Gallup poll shows his job approval rating at a new low.
	President Bush's approval rating at a new low, 36%.
	All of that on March 13th of 2006.
	Wolf Blitzer, it's 4 p.m. lead story Bush poll numbers.
	It's 5 p.m. lead story Bush poll numbers.
	It's 6 p.m. lead number Bush poll stories.
	It's 7 p.m. lead story Bush poll numbers.
	Now back to our lead story, Bush's approval numbers at an all-time low.
	Now, here's the coverage of Obama's new low in the polls, as covered on CNN's Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer yesterday.
	That's right.
	Nothing but crickets.
	They haven't reported it.
	What was being reported by Wolf Blitzer on the Situation Room yesterday and last night?
	Well, here's a montage.
	Tea Party Cheat Chi, her political future may be in her hand.
	Sarah Palin's sleight of hand at the weekend tea party convention.
	A most unusual cheat sheet.
	You might say Sarah Palin at tea partiers in the palm of her hat.
	See these papers?
	These are all notes and stuff I'm supposed to say, but I don't write it on my hand.
	And the answer is in the palm of her hand.
	Sarah Palin as a cheat sheet will look beyond the talking points on Sarah Palin's hand.
	I'm Wolf Mitzer.
	You're in the situation.
	No bias in the media, right?
	There's no advocacy in the media, and there's plenty of objectivity in the media.
	Are we all agreed on that?
	I have notes here, said Wolf.
	I got notes.
	I got a lot of more notes than Sarah Palin, but I don't write them on my hand.
	They just decide themselves.
	You know, I wonder if he did write Bush's poll numbers on his hand as often as he reported that back in March of 2006.
	Last night on the CBS evening news, the perky Katie Couric played another portion of her pre-Super Bowl interview with President Obama.
	She said, you've given more than 160 interviews, taken questions at 26 town meetings.
	What do you say to people who say, in spite of all that exposure, people are not sure who you are or what you stand for?
	This is the Washington analysis that came up over the last couple months since my poll numbers went down.
	Nobody was saying that when my poll numbers were high, right?
	And so I just take these kinds of things with a grain of salt.
	So you don't pay attention to that?
	I really don't.
	No, I really don't.
	Suddenly, the approval polls don't matter now.
	They don't matter now.
	He doesn't feel compelled to change his agenda or even admit that he was wrong.
	But it was all that mattered for Bush.
	It was all that mattered for Bush.
	But it doesn't matter at all to the state-controlled media or to Obama.
	Obama then went on to explain why all of this going on is still Bush's fault anyway, including his poll numbers.
	The pundits, what they're trying to figure out is why did his poll numbers drop?
	And if you're the average mom, working mom out there, your husband's just lost his job.
	You're seeing your hours cut back.
	Your home value has lost $100,000 in value.
	You're trying to figure out how to save for your kids' college education.
	Your 401k has just lost half its value.
	And suddenly somebody calls you on the phone in the middle of dinner and says, so how's the president doing?
	I think their answer is going to be pretty self-apparent.
	They're not going to be happy, and they shouldn't be.
	Well, so he's admitting that people are blaming him for it.
	And that's actually correct.
	Sort of a slip up there on the part of President Obama.
	By the way, it was just yesterday on this program that we had two or three really, really good calls to go along with my brilliant suggestions for the Republicans in Congress on how to react to Obama's proposal of a televised joint meeting on health care.
	And we have a letter, John Boehner and Eric Cantor have replied in a letter to Rah Emmanuel, which is brilliant, a brilliant stroke.
	And we'll share with you the details of that when we come back.
	Rush Limbaugh again at 800-282-2882.
	Don't go away.
	Rolling Stones, I wonder when they're next going to be booked to play halftime at the Super Bowl after the who det.
	Back we are, Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
	All right.
	Now, look, folks, I want to say here at the outset that based on this letter that Boehner and Eric Cantor sent back to Rah Emmanuel, it might be.
	We're not totally sure because I'm not sure yet how the Republicans in the Senate are going to handle this.
	But the Republicans in the House make it look like the era of McCain is over in the Republican Party because they've taken a tone here that seems to indicate a new approach to dealing with the man-child president.
	Here's an excerpt.
	Assuming the president is sincere about moving forward on health care in a bipartisan way, does that mean he will agree to start over so that we can develop a bill that is truly worthy of the support and confidence of the American people?
	Now, we know the answer to that because it was in the New York Times yesterday, a story by Jeff Zelany.
	They're not going to restart it.
	They're not going to reset it.
	They're going to start with the Democrat bills and work on those.
	This is nothing more than a show, and it's a diversionary tactic.
	And it's a, as I said yesterday, Obama's problem is not Republicans because they can't stop it.
	Obama's problem is Democrats.
	It's the Democrats of the party of no.
	The House Democrats say no to the Senate Democrats and verse visa.
	Well, I take it back.
	The Republicans can now stop it in the Senate with Scott Brown.
	But in the House they can.
	It's nothing more than a trick, and I think these people know it.
	February 8th, 2010, the Honorable Rahm Emmanuel, Chief of Staff, White House, Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington.
	Dear Mr. Emmanuel, we welcome President Obama's announcement of forthcoming bipartisan health care talks.
	In fact, you may remember that last May, Republicans asked Obama to hold bipartisan discussions on health care in an attempt to find common ground, but he declined and instead chose to work with only Democrats.
	Since then, the president has given dozens of speeches on health care reform, operating under the premise that the more the American people learn about his plan, the more they'll come to like it.
	Just the opposite has occurred.
	A majority of Americans oppose the House and Senate health care bills, and they want them scrapped so we can start over with a step-by-step approach focused on lowering costs for families and small businesses.
	Just as important, scrapping the House and Senate health care bills would help end the uncertainty they are creating for workers and businesses and thus strengthen our shared commitment to focusing on creating jobs.
	Now, assuming that the president is sincere about moving forward on health care in a bipartisan way, does that mean he'll agree to start over so that we can develop a bill that's truly worthy of the support and confidence of the American people?
	Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said today, the president is absolutely not resetting the legislative process for health care.
	If the starting point for this meeting is the job-killing bills the American people have already soundly rejected, Republicans would rightly be reluctant to participate.
	Assuming the president is sincere about moving forward in a bipartisan way, does that mean he's taken off the table the idea of relying solely on Democrat votes and jamming through health care reform by way of reconciliation?
	As the president has noted recently, Democrats continue to hold large majorities in the House and Senate, which means they can attempt to pass a health care bill at any time through the reconciliation process.
	Eliminating the possibility of reconciliation would represent an important show of good faith to Republicans and the American people.
	Now, if the president intends to present any kind of legislative proposal at this discussion, will he make it available to members of Congress and the American people at least 72 hours beforehand?
	Will the President include in this discussion congressional Democrats who have opposed the House and Senate health care bills?
	Will the President be inviting officials and lawmakers from the states to participate in this discussion?
	Will experts include the actuaries at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid services who have determined both the House and Senate health bill raise costs just the opposite of their intended effect?
	Will those experts include the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which has stated that the GOP alternative would reduce premiums by up to 10%?
	Also, will Republicans be permitted to invite health care experts to participate?
	So they're throwing it right back at him while indicating a willingness to participate here, indicating a desire to meet with him on this.
	I think they've decided that, you know, I suggest yesterday the answer ought to be no, just hell no.
	And I did it on the basis of three things.
	We know the vast majority of American people oppose Obamacare.
	They oppose the bills that took place in the House and Senate.
	They don't want any part of it.
	There's no poll anywhere that shows the majority of the American people favor Obamacare.
	And really, Obama doesn't have a bill.
	This is the one thing that they left out of their letter.
	I wish that if, Mr. President, we haven't seen your bill.
	We don't know what bill.
	I mean, we've seen the House and Senate bills, and you don't have one.
	I mean, why are we meeting with you anyway?
	The other two reasons I think that the answer should just be hell no is that we had two polls yesterday.
	80% of the American, and this is Gallup, 80% of the American people disapprove of the Liberal Democrat Congress.
	I wonder why.
	And 90% of Independents and Republicans do.
	So there is no fear.
	There should be no fear in simply standing up and saying hell no to this.
	The Republicans are hell-knowing the Obama proposal.
	Now, they have decided that for whatever reasons, they're going to make it look like they're willing to, but they've presented an option, series of options here for Obama that he can't possibly meet.
	Obama cannot, unless he lies, which is entirely possible.
	But none of this that they have asked for, none of this that they suggest is going to happen.
	And the deal killer is that he's not going to reset this and start from ground zero.
	Will the special interest groups the Obama administration has cut deals with be included in the televised discussion?
	In other words, are you going to bring the unions in there and you're going to let us ask why they are exempted from any tax on the Cadillac health care plans everybody else is going to have to pay?
	What about, are you going to bring Senator Nelson in so we can ask him about his, by the way, Senator Nelson has gotten a message.
	Senator Nelson on an unrelated matter apparently has cave, Senator Ben Nelson, Nebraska, says that he will now join the Republican filibuster against the confirmation of this new National Labor Relations Board communist that Obama has picked to head it up.
	Now, that's pretty big out there.
	So the letter is what it is.
	It's not a hell-no letter, but it is different from what the Republicans have communicated in the past.
	And I like that it's directed to that hothead, Ram Emmanuel.
	This is a goading letter.
	It has a goading tone to it that might just tick off Emmanuel, which I like, of course.
	And maybe, maybe the self-serving bipartisan reach across the aisle days of the McCain-led Republican leadership is on hold and hopefully maybe over.
	Now, this isn't the Senate.
	That's a whole different story over there, but maybe McCain will no longer be the voice of reason for Republicans.
	I don't know.
	I like the tone of the letter.
	It treats Obama for what he is, someone not to be trusted.
	It rams all the things wrong with this bill right down his and Emmanuel's throat.
	It spells out, and the Drive Bet Politico wrote a piece on it today.
	It spells out all of the lies and distortions and all the fact it raises costs and all the things wrong with it.
	It spells it out in this letter.
	There's an air of fool me once, but you're not going to fool me twice about it.
	So I think the letters put them in a position where if they cave, they will do great harm to the Republican Party.
	If they cave after writing this letter, the Republicans, I mean, then it'll set the third party nuts on fire.
	They got to be very, very careful, whole firm here.
	And speaking of the who, this is the who.
	And one of their big-time moderate hits, this is called Squeeze Box.
	As in Mama's Got a Squeeze Box.
	By the way, we now have it, ladies and gentlemen.
	Yesterday, I don't know when this was.
	Maybe it was last week, somewhere in the White House, President Bush snuck in there for a session with President Obama on how to pronounce words.
	So Michelle Obama bops into the Oval Orifice today where Obama signs some sort of presidential directive on childhood obesity.
	So he's sitting there.
	Honest to God, he sits there.
	He signs the presidential directive on childhood obesity.
	He says, okay, there, honey, it's done.
	I set the stage for you again here.
	This is Michelle's new issue, childhood obesity.
	So she's in the Oval Office, and there's Obama with his new presidential directive, whatever it is.
	And he signs it.
	Okay, honey, there it is.
	It's done.
	And she says, okay, now let's work.
	I'm just wondering how long he was haranged on this.
	And it's like, okay, there it is, honey.
	It's done.
	Move on.
	And they, well, I'm cutting in a little slack on this.
	Yeah, I mean, it's okay, honey.
	It's done.
	You know, I got to tell you, so I met Miss Wright, but I didn't know that her first name was always.
	And it's, you know, even at my age, you just, you never stop learning things.
	You just, you just never stop.
	Do you know what else they put out about this childhood obesity thing?
	There it is right there.
	First Lady in Vale's campaign to fight childhood obesity.
	Guess where?
	What region of the country do you think, ladies and gentlemen, the largest number of obese children happen to be?
	Tick-tock, tick-tick-tock, tick-tick-tock, tick-tick-tock.
	The where?
	The SIOT.
	That's right.
	The South is where there are more fat kids than anywhere in the country.
	The South.
	That's what they say.
	I saw it reported in the news today.
	The South is where there are more fat kids than any.
	I wonder why.
	Cornbread, who knows what?
	Roadkill.
	Who never wants to eat in the back of their pickup trucks down there?
	You people in the South, you understand I'm your friend.
	I mean, I'm just telling you what these elitists think.
	So childhood obesity, apparently now a regional problem.
	It's in the South.
	Apparently, folks, the Republicans have struck a nerve, apparently, with their letter, Boehner and Cantor, because we have here the Gibbs White House response to them is a passive-aggressive response, may have, I don't want to jump the gun on this, but it may have accomplished just what the Republicans hoped.
	They've called Obama's bluff here.
	He wants to hold a dog and pony show.
	He's not interested in what the American people want.
	Listen to this response from Gibbs.
	The president is adamant that we seize this historic moment to pass meaningful health insurance reform legislation.
	Okay, my response to that, Gibbs, is if insurance reforms the issue, then insurance companies will be surely able to sell their products across straight lines, right?
	Why has that never been discussed by Democrats?
	Let the insurance companies, if you want to reform them, see, their version of reform is basically run them out of business.
	That's what Gibbs and Obama and Reid and Pelosi want to do, and every other liberal Democrat up there.
	But if you really want insurance reform, let them sell policies across state lines.
	Gibbs then said the president began this process by inviting Republican and Democrat leaders of the White House on March the 5th of last year.
	He's continued to work with both parties in crafting the best possible bill.
	Now, if I'm Boehner and Cantor and I read that, I blow up because Boehner has said on several occasions the White House doesn't want to talk to Republicans, that they have not been invited to any of this.
	And we know that that's true.
	It's a lie.
	And the Republicans should refuse to meet based on this statement alone.
	He began this process by inviting the Republican and Democrat leaders to the White House.
	On March 5th of last year, he's continued to work with both.
	That's just, that's just, I mean, this is psychosomatic lying.
	This is pathological.
	And then here's more Gibbs.
	He's been very clear about his support for the House and Senate bills because of what they achieve for the American people.
	Putting a stop to insurance company abuses, extending coverage to millions of hardworking Americans, getting control of rising premiums and out-of-pocket costs, and reducing the deficits.
	So, I mean, my reaction to that, why meet with the Republicans?
	Why meet with them at all if the president is so supportive of what has already been passed?
	If he likes it, if he's not going to reset, if he is totally behind what's already been passed, then why support and meet with the Republicans?
	There's literally no reason.
	They were shut out of that process.
	There's nothing in this health care bill that has a Republican fingerprint anywhere near it.
	You cannot, folks, you cannot declare your support for existing bills that the American people and all Republicans have rejected and say that you are open to Republican ideas.
	And by the way, Republican ideas have been known for years on this.
	So there's two passages from Gibbs in response to the letter that if I'm Boehner and Canter, I say, okay, thanks, or we're not showing up.
	If you want to talk to Mitch McConnell boys, go ahead, but we're not going.
	I mean, now there's no, they've got clear sailing.
	Obama has just said he likes everything in these two bills.
	There's no reason to talk.
	And then Gibbs said this.
	The president looks forward to reviewing Republican proposals that meet the goals he laid out at the beginning of this process and as recently as the state of Obama address.
	First, Republicans look forward to seeing the plan the president said he had in his speech to a joint session of Congress.
	That's what they want to see, but he hasn't produced a bill.
	Second, Republican proposals don't have to meet the president's goals.
	He's the executive branch.
	He doesn't tell the legislative branch what they can and can't propose.
	He's not driving the bus.
	Hell, I would say he hasn't even met his own goals here.
	This was sold as a collaborative effort, and clearly it is not.
	And they have every reason now.
	And I'm beginning to think that the whole point of this was to get them to reject the meeting because that's where they think they're going to win.
	That's where the Obamaites think they're going to win by forcing the Republicans to reject.
	I'm telling you, with the polling data where it is, the Republicans saying no, hell no, is a winner for them.
	The American people don't want this.
	And Obama's just reaffirmed that he wants what the American people don't.
	Gibbs said he's open to including any good ideas that stand up to objective scrutiny.
	Including including ideas means Republicans accept what the American people have already rejected.
	That's what they mean here.
	Well, that's the point.
	I'm not going to get to that.
	Snerdley said, who's objective scrutiny?
	Look, I'm running the show.
	I'm getting there.
	It's in the next sentence here.
	It's the American people.
	It's the American people, not the president, who will provide objective scrutiny.
	It's the people.
	See, Sterdley, relax.
	I was getting there.
	The American people will provide objective scrutiny, and they already have.
	And you know what they've said?
	They have spat all over this.
	Spitted for those of you in Rio Linda.
	This is obnoxious.
	To say this president is objective is insulting.
	He's playing political games when he should be cutting the budget, cutting taxes, and promoting work.
	Gibbs.
	What the president will not do, however, is walk away from reform and the millions of American families and small businesses counting on it.
	Well, maybe he won't, but Gibbs, the American people have already walked away from your convoluted bills.
	The American people.
	Have you heard about what happened in Massachusetts, Gibbs?
	Have you heard about what happened in Virginia?
	Have you heard about what happened in New Jersey, Gibbs?
	They have abandoned you.
	The American people have abandoned you.
	The objective now is to get the Republicans to understand that it's time for them to abandon this as well.
	Quick time out, folks, back with much more.
	El Rushball on a roll at the EIB network.
	You know what we ought to do here?
	I'm going to make this proposal.
	Instead of this dog and pony show of Obama with the Republicans up there for six hours in front of C-SPAN, let's do an old firing line debate.
	Let's do one of those old-fashioned firing line debates.
	You have a moderator out there, and you have three people on one side.
	You have three people on the other.
	On the anti-Obamacare side, you have me, Paul Ryan, Representative Paul Ryan, and throw Levin in there because he'll insult them.
	And then on the other side, you have Obama, Reed, and Pelosi.
	And you have some kind of moderator in there, not from the drive-by media.
	We'll get somebody in from, we'll pick somebody out of a hat because the moderator is not going to be heard from once this thing starts.
	If you really want to have a debate, Mr. President, if you really, really want to get this off the dime, you have me, you have Congressman Paul Ryan, Mark Levin in there against you, Pelosi and Reed, and we'll talk about your non-existent health care plan.
	We'll talk about Pelosi's plan and Reed's plan.
	And then we'll let the chips fall where they may.
	By the way, you small business people, I got a bunch of stories in the stack here, and it's really a crying shame.
	Dark clouds hang over U.S. small business survey.
	And it's not about the fact they can't get loans.
	It's about the fact that they don't want them.
	CNNMoney.com, unemployment taxes slam small business.
	Employers are getting hit with a massive tax increase at a time when they can least afford it.

	Speaking of the, I saw the story in the paper today, or maybe it was some website.
	Obama once again claiming that giving Miranda rights to the fruit of kaboom bomber is no different than what Bush did.
	And that Bush, and here's his words, that Bush treated 190 of those folks the same way Obama's treating the fruit of kaboom bomber.
	And I thought, wait a second, you were calling al-Qaeda terrorists folks?
	Somebody call Bill O'Reilly because Bill O'Reilly's looking out for the folks.
	And I know he's not looking out for the terrorists.
	I mean, O'Reilly's looking out for you.
	And he talks about the folks all the time.
	Now, here's Obama stealing O'Reilly's term, applying folks to terrorist and terrorist suspects, folks?
	Did you catch that?
	Well, of course you didn't.
	That's why you're in there screening calls and I'm hosting.
	Speaking of which, Debbie in Stacy, Minnesota, welcome to the EIB network.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	I'm calling about the billboard.
	And it is for real.
	I live about three miles north of it.
	Now, you're in Stacy, Minnesota.
	This billboard's outside Wyoming, Minnesota.
	Right.
	It's in between Wyoming and Stacy.
	It's on the east side of 35, in between the Twin Cities and Duluth.
	Oh, the Twin Cities.
	Yep.
	Yep, it's about...
	So between the Twin Cities and Duluth on the east side of 35.
	Yep.
	Yep, and it's between Stacy and Wyoming.
	No offense here.
	No offense, Debbie.
	It's a strange place to put a billboard.
	Yeah, I know.
	We don't know how it, you know, it just all of a sudden showed up one time, and it is really cool.
	It's Bush then that has got a little gleam in his eye.
	Yeah, he's sitting there and he's kind of, and then there's just little words that say, miss me yet.
	And he's got his little, you know, his little smile.
	And it's really cool.
	Miss Me Yet.
	Yep.
	So all the people at NPR and the liberal blogs will be upset to learn that it's real.
	Yes.
	Well, it is for real.
	We pass by it all the time.
	So Now that you've mentioned this, next time you drive by, there are going to be some tomatoes on there.
	People throw some eggs on it.
	It's happened to one of my billboards out in Sacramento.
	Okay.
	Just keep a sharp eye on it.
	We just got a phone call, by the way, folks, that one has been spotted in Lafayette, Louisiana, as well.
	So they're real.
	They're popping up all over them.
	We don't know who's doing it, though.
	George W. Bush.
	Miss Me Yet?
	From the the Hillnewspaper.com, Congressional Democrats point finger of blame at Rahm Emmanuel.
	Well, who hired Rom Emmanuel?
	Democrats in Congress holding Chief of Staff Rom Emmanuel accountable for his part in the collapse of health care reform.
	They just don't yet have the guts to blame Obama.
	But Obama hired Rahm, and Rahm is Obama.
	Rahm does Obama's bidding.
	I only hope here that Obama, I'm sorry, one in the same, excuse me, I only hope here that Rahm doesn't go out and call these people another effing unfortunate name out there, folks.
