Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
It is the fastest three hours, the fastest week in media.
Here we are already at Thursday.
Great to have you with us.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
This is the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Once again, your host.
Ridiculed and taken over the Coles over global warming throughout the drive-by media.
We'll share the audio sound bites with you later in the program.
I do not make this program about me.
So we will not be distracted.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program is 800-282-2882.
The email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
So I have details later, but Judd Gregg, a Republican senator from New Hampshire, has sent Obama a letter saying he's eager to have a meeting with him and attend this February 25th thing on uh on health care.
And he's eager to present his ideas uh to Obama.
Uh it but it the deal's already done.
We explained this to you yesterday.
This whole thing's a sham.
The deal is already done.
The way somebody in Pelosi's office leaked, started bragging about the trick that they're pulling on everybody here.
Details coming up, but on that moat.
New Rasmussen report, sixty-one percent say Congress should start all over again on health care.
This is a uh sixty-one percent of U.S. voters should scrap the whole thing.
National survey on telephone.
Just 28% who think it is better to build on the uh plan that's been working its way through the House and Senate.
You remember, uh, ladies and gentlemen, you remember all during the uh last three, four years of the Bush administration, the Patriot Act and the warrantless wiretaps and so forth, the left was crying and moaning and wailing about the loss of civil liberties, uh, freedom, uh, privacy.
Bush was spying on them.
Bush was listening into their phone calls.
From CNETNews.com, the federal government is pushing for the tracking of cell phones.
Two years ago when the FBI was stymied by a band of armed robbers known as the Scarecrow Bandits, it rob more than twenty Texas banks.
It came up with a novel method of locating the thieves.
The FBI agents obtained logs from mobile phone companies corresponding to what their cellular towers had recorded at the time of a dozen different bank robberies in Dallas.
The voluminous record showed that uh two phones had made calls around the time of all twelve heists, and that those phones belonged to two men that they were able to identify.
The jury eventually convicted the duo of multiple bank robbery and weapons charges.
The Obama administration has argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no reasonable expectation of privacy in their or at least their cell phones whereabouts.
U.S. Department of Justice lawyers say that a customer's Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records that show where a mobile device placed and received calls.
Now, quite understandably here, the ACLU is alarmed, uh, very much concerned, as are other civil liberties groups which have opposed the Justice Department's request and plan to tell the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia that Americans' privacy deserves more protection and judicial oversight than what the administration has proposed.
Every day, every day, we learn of something new.
I just had a bunch of people come in, say hello, and they said, you know, you've been doing this 20 years, you probably do it just like clockwork now.
I mean, it's it's uh it you've got a formula down.
I said, no, no, no, no.
It is harder than ever to do this because when I first started this program, I could prep it with three to five newspapers.
Now with the internet out there, uh news is being made every minute, got to keep up with it, have to be able to multitask.
And then I said, Besides, every 20 minutes Obama launches another assault on this country.
Three of them laughed and one of them frowned.
And I said to myself, home run.
But it's true.
Feds pushing for tracking of cell phones.
All of you left is so worried about George Bush spying On you trying to get cameras in your bedroom, listening to your phone calls.
Your guy, Barack Obama, wants to be able to monitor and track you via your cell phone, and if necessary, be able to get records of where you've been.
Same thing with your library books.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I don't use, you know, I've got a cell phone, but I heart I never make a call on it.
Sometimes I text with it, but I never use it.
I hate the phone anyway, as uh as you well know, but they can still track it even if it's off.
Even if your phone's off, it's still sending out a signal.
You have to take the battery out of it in order to not be tracked.
And of course, if you have an iPhone, you can't take the battery out of it.
You can't get in there.
It's not yet.
That's check it out, sturdy.
I know I am right about this.
Don't doubt me.
You have to take the battery out to avoid being tracked.
The cell tower still knows where your phone is.
Uh I'm sure Apple knows this.
Yes, I'm sure Apple.
Apple's not the only one you can't take.
I well, I don't think they're the only one.
Um, Al Gore's on the Apple board.
Uh, do you see what uh uh Jim Inhoff did built an Igloo in Washington and put a little cardboard sign over it said Al Gore's new home?
Oh, by the way, we have uh well, everybody's been wondering where Al Gore is.
Mike, do you have that ready?
Yeah, everybody's been wondering where Al Gore is.
We found him, ladies and gentlemen.
They are uh baking 104 degrees down in Rio.
As their carnival gets ready to start.
So Al Gore goes down there to escape the snow and advises every one of you don't snowblow it, don't plow it.
Uh stay inside, let it melt away naturally.
More of the unexpected news that we've come to expect from the associated press.
First time jobless claims fall more than expected.
By Christoph, Christopher Rugaber, state-controlled AP economics writer.
The number of newly laid off workers seeking unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week to the lowest total in a month.
Oh, wow, folks!
The lowest total in a month.
As states cleared out administrative delays left over from the Christmas holidays.
The labor department said that first-time claims for unemployment insurance dropped by 43,000 to a seasonally adjusted 440,000.
Wall Street economists expected a smaller decline of 15,000.
Labor department analysts said the decline largely reflects the end of administrative backlogs in California and other states that had elevated claims in the previous three weeks.
So how on earth could this drop be unexpected?
You know, it's not, it wasn't unexpected.
They're just putting unexpected in there to make all of this sound more dramatic.
They're just doing this to try so they want that in the headline.
Jobless claims fall more than expected.
So it's uh oh, those of you paying attention to stimulus money, you may not know this.
Polk County, Florida, school district giving away iPods to some parents.
The school district is uh is using the iPod to reward parents of children with disabilities who fill out a 10-minute online survey.
The district wants to know how well it's connecting with the parents and how to get parents involved in a children's education.
They are spending $350,000 in federal stimulus money to buy iPods for the parents.
$350,000 of stimulus money here in Florida to buy iPods.
It didn't save any jobs, didn't create any jobs.
There's nothing shovel ready about it.
I don't know if Alba Apple may be involved in that as well.
Uh, but there you have it.
Now, Iran.
They're out there proclaiming that they are now a nuclear state.
The nutty near professor, Barack Obama, said the United States cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran.
Do you remember this?
He also said that we can't isolate them because uh that'll accelerate their efforts to get nuclear weapons, but he just imposed sanctions on the affiliates of Iran's revolutionary guard.
Now, then again, Professor Obama said that he would create between three and a half and four million jobs, with 90% coming in the private sector if his slush fund was passed.
He said he would close Club Gitmo in a year and has given a terrorist Miranda rights after saying this.
After two months, after his inauguration, Obama reiterated, now, do these folks deserve Miranda rights?
Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block?
Of course not.
And then he proceeds to give one of these folks, the fruit of kaboom bomber.
Miranda rights.
And he continues to call them folks.
These terrorists are folks.
Yeah, is anybody told Bill O'Reilly about this yet?
Because Bill O'Reilly owns the term folks.
Bill O'Reilly's looking out for the folks, and here's Obama now appropriating the term for his own self and referring to terrorists as the folks.
This is going to confuse Obama or O'Reilly's audience.
Who are the folks?
Also, Obama said his number one focus this year was jobs.
And uh and then calls for a summit on his health care plan.
He said he was postpartisan.
He said bankers were crooks.
Then he said bankers were savvy.
Oh you you do not believe the CYA that is going on at the Huffington Post over this.
This business of saying, hey, I love these guys at Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Chase, they're savvy business guys.
I'm all for people getting wealthy in this country.
That's I got no problem at all with these bonuses.
They were livid, fit to be tied yesterday, but now the CYA has begun to suggest that this is not out of the ordinary for what Obama has said.
So now Senator Nutty Professor Obama on Iran, a debate lecture during the campaign.
He said that we will not tolerate a nuclear Iran.
And he said our efforts of isolation have actually accelerated their efforts to get nuclear weapons.
He's criticizing Bush.
Which is strange because Obama just imposed sanctions on affiliates of Iran's revolutionary guard.
Sanctions don't isolate, much less work.
As we are learning.
So every day.
I mean here's the fourth Obama story inside of ten minutes.
This is from Bloomberg.
And I want you people who make less than 250,000 dollars a year to listen to this.
President Obama said he is agnostic about raising taxes on households making less than 250,000 as part of a broad effort to rein in the budget deficit.
Agnostic.
What in the world does he mean by agnostic?
Uh, do you th I'm I'm wondering if this is what happens when this guy doesn't have a teleprompter.
When when when they turn him loose for the Bloomberg interview, I mean he gums it all up, creates a panic inside the White House and over to Huffington Puffington Post.
And now he says he is agnostic about raising taxes.
Does he mean antagonistic?
Agnostic.
Now, in a February 9th oval orifice interview, Obama said that a presidential commission on the budget needs to consider all options for reducing the deficit, including tax increases and cuts in spending on entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare.
The whole point is to make sure that all ideas are on the table, Obama said during the interview with Bloomberg, which will appear starting tomorrow.
So um, so uh what I want to do is be completely agnostic in terms of solutions.
Agnostic.
Of course the tax increases are gonna happen, folks.
We've been telling you this since before he was inaugurated.
There will not be any cuts in entitlement spending.
The Democrats will not allow it.
There will not be any cuts in Social Security or any of that.
Um it'll be loudly talked about, a lot of wailing, a lot of gnashing of teeth, but which will never be seriously considered.
So anyway, you're on the hook now.
Those of you under $250,000 a year, a tax increase is now coming your way.
It always was.
If you believed it wasn't, you have just been snookered once again.
I went to my trusted dictionary on my cell phone, uh, ladies and gentlemen, to look up the word agnostic.
And I I had a suspicion here that I was right.
Agnostic, basically Obama's voting present when he says that he is agnostic About raising taxes on the middle class.
It means that he is unwilling to commit to an opinion about something.
So he is an agnostic he has no opinion on it.
This is the same as voting present on a uh a middle class tax increase, meaning he's going to leave it up to his uh commission and other advisors and the uh the Democrats in Congress.
By the way, before going any further, ladies and gentlemen, I want to congratulate Mr. Shahid Khan, who is 55 years old.
He is the president of Flexingate Corporation and auto parts manufacturer based in Urbana, Illinois.
He has lived in the United States forty some odd years.
Uh he is uh of Pakistani descent, and he is uh the person who has been selected by the Rosenblub family to purchase the St. Louis Rams.
Uh I didn't get the Dubai ports deal, but we do have Rashid Khan.
Now he's got a he's got to pass muster with the NFL owners.
He's got to go through the uh the vote process there.
Uh but the Rams principals, Chip Rosenblum and his sister Lucia Rodriguez have sold the team to Rashid Khan of Urbana, Illinois.
Congratulations to him.
Says he's a big Rams fan.
He goes to the Edward Jones Dome constantly and appears to want to be a pretty hands-on owner for what we've been able to uh to figure out.
Here's Obama himself.
Here's this quote.
This is um uh 2 what?
Uh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I've we're putting we're putting the live.
February 24th last year.
February 24, 2009.
This is to his first joint appearance before Congress.
Let me be absolutely clear, because I know you'll end up hearing some of the same claims that rolling back these tax breaks means a massive tax increase on the American people.
If your family earns less than 250,000 a year, a quarter million dollars a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime.
I repeat, not one single dime.
One year ago.
In fact, not a dime.
All right, all right.
All right.
February 24th, 2009, President Obama joint session of Congress.
Let me be absolutely clear.
Your family earns less than a quarter of a million dollars a year.
You will not see your taxes increased a single dime.
Yesterday he said he's agnostic about it, which means he has no opinion anymore about it, which means he's open to it, which means everybody that voted for this guy on that basis has now just been screwed and lied to.
Although we we tried to tell all of you people in this category that you were gonna pay the lion's share of any tax increase, because there are more of you than any other category.
There are more people in the middle class, still it's true, even though Obama's doing his best to wipe them out.
Still more people in the middle class than there are rich, more people in the middle class than there are poor.
So say hello to your Obama tax increase that you were assured one year ago would not happen.
David Rodham Gergen says that Obama is in crisis.
We're seeing the president descend almost slow motion into a crisis.
He's been pounded over the last 24 hours uh from left and right.
The labor leaders jumped on him today for inaction on the labor agenda.
We learned today that in his meeting yesterday with congressional leaders and talking about a jobs bill.
It was Nancy Pelosi uh who said, Mr. President, I don't think this is going to work.
Hulk Krugman from the New York Times called uh President Obama clueless.
And of course, there are new polls out, the latest uh ABC Washington Post, which show this arc downward.
If you look at the averages of the polls in recent days, his disapproval rating has almost passed his approval rating for the first time.
So uh these are dangerous times for this president.
Uh Wolf Blitzer still has not reported, by the way, the falling approval ratings of the president.
We've been keeping a sharp eye.
Obama in crisis, if David Gergen thinks it, everybody in Washington does, guaranteed.
We're back at Rush Limboss serving humanity, executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
That's because I, as host uh and boss, assigned the duties.
800-282-288-2, a friend reminds me in an email flash uh about Obama and agnostic.
He's saying he's agnostic because he pretended to be against taxing health benefits during the campaign.
He went after McCain because McCain was in favor of it uh as part of an overhaul that would have reduced costs, according to McCain.
And so here comes Obama railing against that.
Now he knows.
Here's the thing.
Obama knows if he comes out now and says he is for a middle class tax increase or taxing health care benefits.
He knows he's going to get creamed for flip-flopping.
So now he's got to say he's got an open mind.
He's voting present.
He has an open mind.
If the Democrats suggest it, he's got to take a look at it.
So he's not for it, he's not against it.
He's gonna wait and see what happens.
But remember all along, folks, all along he was going to raise everybody's taxes.
It's part and parcel of the redistribution of wealth that he assured Joe the plumber he was going to do.
Now, listen to this.
Joe Biden was on Larry King Alive last night.
And uh and Larry King, I mean, following right along with the questions they gave him, said, Are you optimistic about the jobs bill?
By the spring, I think people are gonna begin to have more confidence in the policies you we put in place, but you think you're gonna see net creation of jobs every month.
Now it's not going to be seven million jobs in the next six months.
It's a depression for millions of Americans.
But we took this job.
No one, we were facing a gigantic hole we would have fallen into.
We inherited it.
Yeah, we inherited it.
You know, why don't they do something?
Take the New Madrid fault where I live.
And and Obama, I think that that's a new Madrid, Missouri, short little south of Cape Girardeau, a big big hurricane or uh earthquake fault there.
Been predicting a big one there, just like the San Andreas for a long time.
And uh, I I think what Obama could do, but maybe Obama and Biden have a joint big wallapa losing ceremony in honor of President Bush name, the new Madrid fault after him.
So it becomes Bush's fault.
Because this seems to be the only thing these people have to say.
Now, what Biden's talking about here, the United States is a state-controlled AP, United States likely to average 95,000 more jobs every month this year, while personal savings will remain high as credit remains tight, according to a White House report released uh today.
Council of Economic Advisors also trumpeted the 787 billion dollar economic stimulus package, which it said has saved or created about two million jobs.
In a message to Congress, Obama pointed out that the economy he inherited was losing 700,000 jobs every month, but now says 95,000 jobs will be produced net every month starting this spring.
Now, by this time, I have a simple question.
Who cares what Obama or his people say about the economy and what they predict in the future?
They have been grossly wrong, time and time again.
Who cares what they predict?
Here's the truth.
The American left, the liberals keep attacking the regulatory system that was in place before Obama was elected.
When in fact it is mostly their regulatory system.
They complained about inheriting deficits when in fact they pushed for even bigger deficits when Bush was president, including Senator Obama.
Senator Obama voted for every spending bill that came down to Pike.
He cannot distance himself from all of this.
In fact, he and the Democrats were asking Bush to spend more.
Look at it's the Democrats and their buddies that ran Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and we just did a morning update today on the sorry shape they're in.
They are in their so in debt, they've been bailed out, there's no hope that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are ever going to get whole.
The people that run Fannie Mae Freddie Mac received tens of million dollars in bonuses, and meanwhile, Obama's out there complaining about everybody else getting bonuses.
So what exactly, I need to ask, what exactly did the Republicans do to reduce regulations?
Honestly.
What specifically did they do that eliminated some key regulation that would have prevented the housing collapse?
Specifics, please.
They can sit around here and they can blame Bush and blame the Republicans all they want, but I want to know what the Republicans did.
Because the truth of the matter is, they did it.
The Community Reinvestment Act was hatched by Carter.
It was expanded by Bill Clinton.
It was used by Acorn and their allies to wreck the housing market by wrecking the mortgage market by demanding that mortgages be given to people who could no way pay them back.
Ergo, the subprime mortgage crisis.
It was called affordable housing.
And it was designed to wreck the whole system.
AIG and the rest.
I mean, the uh I mean I'm not, I don't defend AIG, but they were trading loans, derivatives, if you will, that were based fundamentally on loans created by liberal policies.
I'm really getting fed up with this notion that everything they inherited was Bush's fault.
They have doubled down on whatever was wrong.
I want them to name whatever these regulations are the Republicans did that created this mess.
Because my memory is that George Bush a number of times tried to stop some of the stuff going on with the subprime crisis, and his poor regulator got up there beat up by Barney Frank and whoever Chris Dodd.
And the regulators just lost their teeth and kind of slinked away.
I mean, the problem here, folks, as it's always been, and I'm sure those of you who own operate small businesses will agree with me.
There are too many regulations.
There are too many laws.
You can't keep up with them now.
There's too much government interference.
difference So here we have the left, Obama and his buddies with Biden out there on Larry King last night, uh, creating yet another lie that persists for decades.
That deregulation caused this recession.
It was liberalism.
It was socialism.
It was big government and their liberal groups that caused all this.
Deregulation.
There wasn't any deregulation.
That's their favorite ploy, though.
If you let the capitalist free market system go wild, everything falls apart, and only oppresses few end up doing well, and everybody else gets creamed because the precious few doing well are stealing from everybody else.
It's absurd, it's nonsense, but this is their constant refrain.
Re-regulation, reform is always growing government, more regulations, more obstacles, more putting people uh behind an eight wall with more obstacles in their way, so they can't possibly overcome them to be successful.
We have inherited, if you want to talk about inheritance, we have inherited what Obama and his party and his friends have created, and even if we win these elections in November, it is going to take two or three, or I don't know, it's going to take a generation to fix all this.
The damage they have done in, well, not just one year, because the Democrats took over the House in 2007.
And you can track.
You can track when unemployment started to track up.
You can track all GDP started to go to, you can track any number of things to the uh Democrats acquiring more and more power.
Finally, Obama in November of 2008.
Take a look at unemployment then.
Take a look at unemployment in November 2008 and forward.
And you'll find that people in charge of knowing how to run a business that uh-oh, we and heap big do-do do.
So we have inherited, folks, what Obama and his party and his friends have created.
Joe Biden.
Joe Biden was in the Senate for over 30 years.
He was a big spending, free spending liberal.
You will find no record at all of Biden demanding the government stop pushing banks to make loans to people who couldn't afford them.
Biden dares go on Larry King last night and say he inherited all this.
He helped create it.
And any other Democrat in office for 20 years, 10 years, 30 years joins Biden as an architect of this disaster.
Meanwhile, in case you don't know it, Obama still has not killed the Community Reinvestment Act.
Obama still supports it.
Obama still supports the very thing that caused the subprime mortgage crisis in the first place.
Acorn still supports it.
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, both of whom should be sharing a cell with Bernie Madoff, still support it.
So let me challenge.
They're not going to come on this program and debate me.
I know they're not going to do that on health care.
Let me challenge them again.
Obama and the Democrats eliminate the Community Reinvestment Act and all laws that compel banks to make loans to poor people who can't afford them.
let's get rid of some of these regulations requirements that have led to this SNAFU and this big problem.
But they're not going to do that because they want the snafu.
They want the big problem.
They want radical redistribution of wealth.
They have targeted the U.S. private sector, and they continue to do so each and every day.
And now Obama's gone agnostic on middle class tax cuts.
Well, I can't say I'm for them now because they'll kill me for flip-flopping.
So I gotta act like I'm open to anything at this point, which is what he's doing.
And he hopes to get away with that because of your perception of his superior intelligence.
Corpsman, 57 states.
And any time the guy speaks with a teleprompter, it's an absolute, it's a roll of the dice.
Job growth.
This business of 95,000 jobs every month net starting this spring.
You know why job growth is not lowering unemployment.
There are a whole lot of people unemployed not looking for jobs anymore.
They're totally dispirited.
A reduction in jobless claims doesn't mean these people are getting new jobs.
It means they've dropped out of the system altogether.
That's why you got to look at the U6 unemployment figure, which puts it up 17, 18%, not this 9.7%.
So now they're on welfare, food stamps, uh, what have you.
And of course, uh I have a stack here in the it with with two different stories uh on how the uh food stamp stigma is gone, uh, the welfare stigma is gone.
It's it's just absolutely wonderful that all these programs exist for people who are unemployed.
This is the purpose.
They want all of us on food stamp.
I'm not, I'm not exaggerating.
They want all of us depending primarily on government for whatever it is we have.
That's who these people are.
Make no mistake about it.
Gosh, folks, I gotta tell you something.
I don't mean to whine or complain here, you know, I don't bleed on all of you, but it got down to 46 degrees where I live last night.
I've decided to leave for the weekend to go someplace where it's warmer.
It's only going to hit 65 or 68 here over the weekend, and that's that's just unacceptable.
So, uh What's Nerdly?
No, I'm not talking about the jobs bill.
Of course, um it's uh well that's the point.
That's the point.
I'm just I'm just goosing them in Washington and New York.
Uh yes, I am going to talk about the jobs bill.
It's it's it's not even correctly named.
It's not a jobs bill.
It's it's porculus two.
Three, porculus three, porculus four, whatever.
Slush fund three.
So the phone's Karen in Las Vegas.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello.
Um I had to laugh because agnostic, you keep talking about agnostic is Greek.
It's a Greek word, it means to not know.
But if you translate agnostic into Latin, it's ignoramus.
Oh, I'm an ignoramus.
I'm not sure.
I thought I'd share that with you.
No kidding.
Look at that.
I mean, I laugh my butt off when I heard him talking about being a Gnostic on taxes.
Oh, he's ignorant, it's all right.
Look, let me tell you something.
This guy is so arrogant, he doesn't he see he's afraid.
He doesn't want to be accused of flip-flopping.
That's why he's not coming out for these tax increases.
He thinks he thinks if he says some I'm agnostic, I mean I'm I'm uh I'm an ignoramus on it, or I'm uh I can go either way, it depends on what I'm advised to do.
Um he thinks he can escape the flip-flopper aspect.
But he this is where, you know, I think I I've read a lot of things uh in in the show prep between well, last couple days.
And there are more and more people, Joe Klein at Time magazine, um, any number of of liberal commentators who have now started insulting the American people as too stupid to understand what's going on.
And that some are saying there's too much democracy now.
The Tea Party's actually they call them a teabaggers, there's too much democracy.
Now there wasn't too much democracy when Obama was running his campaign, but there's too much democracy.
You know, back when uh in the mid-90s, when this program was uh was about all there was, and the other talk shows were just getting started, Fox News is on the horizon.
Time magazine is there too much democracy.
That's what the left always does, and they're always insulting you.
You're too dense to understand how brilliant a president you have.
You're too dense to involve yourself in supporting your government.
I mean, it is it is hilarious to read.
And I guarantee you that Obama and his people are among the elites who think that you are stupid.
Why wouldn't they?
Hey, fooled enough of people to get elected.
They're sitting back there behind closed doors.
They know exactly who they are.
They know exactly what their plans are.
They know they went out and lied through their teeth and created this false image during the campaign.
Why wouldn't they think voters are stupid?
There's no question they do.
So now they're relying on your stupidity to forget that Obama ever said if you make less than 250, you'll not see one dime of tax increase.
He's already flip-flop by saying he's an ignoramus about it.
That he's agnostic.
He's already flip-flopped.
And this isn't going to help matters.
Now, of course, this is this is with the left.
Uh, but this is this whole administration some days is a is a is a Scott Ott uh uh satire.
Saturday Night Live script.
Larry King Live, again last night, Joe Biden said this about Iraq.
I am very optimistic about about Iraq.
I think it's gonna be one of the great achievements of this administration.
You're gonna see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the uh end of the summer.
You're gonna see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government.
Do you know how hard it is to really not blow a gasket when you hear something like this?
In the first place, it was Joe Biden that wanted to cut that country in three.
It was Joe Biden and Barack Obama who opposed the surge, who proclaimed defeat in front of General Petraeus.
They opposed everything that led to whatever they think now is stable in Iraq.
Obama and Biden wanted to leave in defeat.
Harry Reid, this war is lost.
These people threw the U.S. military under the bus.
These people were doing everything they can to secure a defeat for the United States military, and he has the chutzpah to go on Larry King Live and say this could be one of the great achievements of this administration.
Now, I know that there is rabid hatred for anything Bush in the far left of this country, and I I just wonder if they even fall for this.
One of the great achievements of this administration, they don't have an achievement, folks.
Not as you and I would measure achievements.
The Obama administration doesn't have one thing they have done positively for this country.
I was all set to say that I think maybe Obama is dumber than Biden.
Until I heard that.
We're going to have some audio coming up very soon, ladies and gentlemen.
Joe Biden saying he was going to ram Iraq down Bush's throat.
And another one of Biden saying Petraeus is dead wrong.
And we could probably do a half hour of Biden quotes on what was wrong with the Iraq policy.
That they inherited.
That they now claim was one of the great achievements of the Obama administration.
Iraq.
See, I I hear something like this, and I ask myself, who who has been paying attention the last three years can possibly believe that or fall for it?
I I'm serious.
