Time Text
Greetings my friends, welcome back.
It's Rush Limboy and the one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Great to have you here, as always.
I'm tired.
I don't know why, but I'm sitting here fighting fatigue from behind.
No, I wasn't up partying last night.
Well, but I gave up on the ice skating.
I gave up on the ice skating before the ChiCom team came on.
I had to watch 24, but I mean, that's up till midnight.
I'm normally up later than that.
I don't know.
Nevertheless, I'm not complaining.
I mean, I'm just telling you what is.
Telephone number 800-282-2882, the email address lrushbo at eibnet.com.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
Lake Erie is now frozen over for the first time in 14 years.
The 241-mile-long lake virtually frozen over from one end to the other.
Now, this will prevent a bunch of lake effects snows because what happens?
You got cold air that passes over the relatively warmer waters of the lake, and it rises up there, it condenses in the clouds, and bamboo, you got lake effect snow.
Not cold front snow, but lake effect.
So lake effect snow will be way down since the ice on the surface of the lake is not nearly as warm as the water, relatively speaking.
Now, the reason that this is important is because we find ourselves here each and every day.
More and more is not, for example, now the IPCC, somebody's going to have to run in there and take the Peace Prize away from these people and from Al Gore.
Because every day, there's a new revelation.
Now, an independent scientist who's not either a global warming believer or a denier, he doesn't care.
He's just a scientist.
He's examined the data from which they concluded that global warming is causing more and more intense hurricanes.
It's not true.
The data doesn't support their conclusion.
It just isn't true.
He says, I defy anybody to show me where my reading of their data is wrong.
And of course, nobody's going to step forward.
The whole thing's made up.
The whole thing is made up.
And the bottom continues to fall out.
And yet the Obama administration and not one U.S. media outlet other than Fox, and of course us, is reporting any of this.
Not one.
Because our media is no longer media.
They are repeaters and propagandists.
So I take you back to April 13th of 2007.
Lori David, who's a big environmentalist person out in Hollywood, the ex-wife of Larry David, an open letter to me via the Huffing and Puffington Post.
Dear Mr. Limbaugh, global warming causes extreme weather in both directions.
For example, the reason the blizzards are getting worse in the northeast is because the Great Lakes are no longer freezing over, thus fueling the stronger snowstorms that are topping the headlines and disrupting the start of the baseball season.
This is April 13th, 2007.
But today, Lake Erie is frozen for the first time in 14 years.
So now we're going to hear, well, yeah, that just means there's global warming.
No, it just doesn't work that way.
Climate change now, but this is all becoming it.
I think, what did I see?
I don't know.
This can't be right.
My memory must be failing me.
I think I saw somewhere today where less than 20% now believe it.
Man-made global warming.
I'll have to find it.
Somewhere here in the stack.
Now here from another UK paper, a paper called The Register.
More trouble looms for the IPCC.
The UN body may need to revise statements made in its fourth assessment report on hurricanes and global warming.
A statistical analysis of the raw data shows that the claims that global hurricane activity has increased cannot be supported.
Now remember, this was a central feature of Al Gore's propaganda movie, Earth in the Lurch.
Les Hatton once fixed weather models at the Met Office, having studied maths at Cambridge.
He completed his PhD as a meteorologist.
His PhD was the study of tornadoes and water spouts.
He's a fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society, currently teaches at the University of Kingston, well known in the software engineering community.
His studies include critical systems analysis.
And he goes on to cite that Al Gore uses a fluke year of 2005, one year to push the agenda that global warming or climate change, whatever it is, is causing more and more intense hurricanes.
This guy has analyzed it.
1999 and 2009, and then between 1946 and 2009, the averages of storms and their strength almost exactly balances out.
And Al Gore picked one year in that range, 2005, to make a 100-year prediction that everybody bought into.
Then, ladies and gentlemen, the Obama administration scientist on snowstorms is out there saying that weather is not climate.
This is yesterday on an NPR radio show in Washington.
The NOAA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Administrator Jane Lubchenko, she got this question.
Last week we saw some really unusual weather patterns, not only through the Mid-Atlantic, but even today in the southern part of the U.S. What do you think has made this year so different?
It's important that people recognize that weather is not the same as climate.
And record-breaking storms neither negate nor prove climate change.
This year we have indeed seen a lot of seemingly strange things, record snowfalls in the mid-Atlantic region, even though the planet is warming.
And this isn't a contradiction, and it's not really unexpected.
The multiple snowstorms we've been seeing this winter, with more on the way likely, are a result of the confluence of El Niño and the Arctic oscillation.
That's exactly right.
And they are cyclical and they happen all the time regardless of man-made activity.
Now, she says here, the planet is warming.
Well, we just had Phil Jones, the architect of all of this, and Michael Mann, the guy at Penn State who put together the bogus hockey stick, have admitted, well, Jones has admitted, there hasn't been any warming since 1995.
The medieval period was in fact warmer than it is today.
And of course, there was no man-made activity to cause it back.
The whole, the bottom has fallen out of this.
And yet Obama's NOAA administrators out there still promulgating a hoax.
Promulgating a lot.
I think this Lubchenko woman needs to resign.
She's not phased in the least after learning Dr. Jones is a fraud.
So she got another question.
One last word.
And then what is your reaction to the growing sense around the country, perhaps even around the world, that global warming is a hoax?
Climate change is underway.
It's happening now.
It is resulting in many changes that will affect the way people live and do business.
And the fact that we are getting more and more requests for information about droughts, about future heat waves, about air quality, forest fires, sea levels.
It's not the tape.
She just said that weather is not climate, didn't she?
And now she's citing a bunch of weather phenomenon to suggest that there's warming.
She said heat waves, forest fires, sea level rise, inundating coasts.
Does this woman not know that the hoaxers have pretty much come clean?
You know, this woman, this guy's name is Phil Jones.
You remember the Billy Paul song?
Me and Mrs. Jones, we got a thing.
She could sing the duet with the guy.
A normal person would be outraged over how they have been misled here by these people.
A scientist would be curious to know all the facts.
So we don't get that with Obama's propaganda scientists.
Weather may not be climate, but years of weather where there's no warming is climate.
We're not talking about today's cold weather or yesterday's cold weather or last summer's cold weather.
We're talking about the cumulative weather since 1995.
The climate that Dr. Phil Jones is talking about when he says there hasn't been any warming since 1995.
Folks, do you realize that we're talking 15 years?
And we were told 1998, the hottest year ever, and it's going to get worse.
We're going to bake.
We're going to fry.
And Obama's out there saying, let this be the boy.
Let's just see the apples began to pull.
Rado, rado.
These people have zilt zero nada credibility.
And I think what's happened here, Jane Lubchenko of NOAA has given herself away.
A really good liar would feign some concern here.
A really poor liar just keeps pitching the same lie with no emotion after learning that one of her co-conspirators just turned state's evidence.
This is like Al Capone's henchman continuing to say, we never did anything after Capone just admitted everything.
What legitimate scientist wouldn't call time out on anything connected with global...
See, the bottom line is this is not science.
This has been my point for 25 years.
There's nothing about this that's science.
It's pure left-wing politics.
Your phone calls are next.
As promised, it's back to the phones.
I'm going to let you people carry this show for a while as I'm tired out there.
We're going to go to Reno, Nevada.
Kevin, hello, and welcome to the program.
You got to talk for two minutes without me saying a word.
Oh, that's going to be tough.
Maha Rushi, 20-plus-year listener and second-time caller.
My pleasure.
I'm a retired city worker here in Reno, and Nevada is a right-to-work state.
So I want to comment a little bit on getting government benefits after not paying anything in.
I worked for 28 years, and if I remain retired for 28 years, God willing, I will have made just a little over $2 million.
But that, again, was my investment.
Now, wait, let me ask you a question about this.
Is it $2 million total or is it $2 million in retirement only?
It'll be $2 million in retirement only.
There is also a health benefit there.
And I'm being blatantly honest with you.
It's a good retirement.
Well, yeah.
PERS here was, we self-contributed to this.
There was no unions involved.
When the money came out of the checks, out of the paychecks, that, of course, was salary that we did not receive.
So we're getting it back on the end.
And certainly we're getting it back in spades.
There's no argument about that.
But the reason that PERS has grown so financially well here in the state is it was very well invested in the stock market.
Now, wait, let's define PERS as the public employee retirement system.
Yep, I'm sorry, public employee's retirement system.
In California, they got two of these.
They got the public employee retirement system and a public teacher's retirement system.
Okay, this is not it.
I worked for the police department here.
Okay.
I believe the teachers, I have a couple of sisters that are retired teachers, I believe that was generated by the unions and paid out by the union.
We were not a union shop at all.
But anyway, the money that we contributed that was deducted from our paychecks at the time we were receiving it was invested in stocks, bonds, that sort of thing.
And it was very wisely invested to the point where Nevada PERS, public employee retirement system, has about a $20 billion investment right now.
Wait, wait, wait.
But is it running a surplus or a deficit?
It's running a surplus right now.
Well, that's one of the few.
Not as much of a surplus as it was a few years ago.
But, of course, the politicians here now, we've got a guy running for governor here that says, hey, let's look at that money.
And that's.
Oh, hey, the Reverend Jackson's been looking at that money for 20 years in every state there is.
Yeah, that's going to be a fight.
We're going to fight that tooth and nail.
But anyway, oh, by the way, I forgot.
I wrote these notes on my hand.
I'm also a Rush to Excellence veteran when you came to Reno several years ago.
That's the last note I have on my hand.
Well, and you probably remember early on in this program's history that I had to ban callers from Reno.
I remember that.
For a while.
We weren't happy with that.
We're definitely in the conservative part of the state.
We're in the northern part of Nevada.
We're not.
Well, we had a genuinely stupid caller one day that just really rubbed me the wrong way and I said, I'm not going to put up with this.
So just ban Nevada callers, Reno callers, for a while.
You didn't take a call from Harry Reid, did you?
No.
No.
Not knowingly.
Anyway, that's my only point is the money that I'm reaping, and again, it is quite a benefit, is money that we contributed.
Yeah, but how much did you contribute, if you want to say?
You know, I don't know.
It certainly wasn't $2 million.
I know that.
I'm reaping the benefits of some very good investments by the handlers of the United States.
Okay, so what it sounds like to me here, that your PIRS system basically took money from your paycheck and invested it for you.
Exactly.
And the pool grew.
The investments were done wisely, and the pension fund is such that your share of it when you retire is going to be equal to whatever you said at $2 million.
Yes.
And that it's paid for and it's covered, and that it was ⁇ if it had not been invested wisely or if that pension fund had been raided, which they, in New Jersey, they're $90 billion.
They don't have the money in the pension plans.
That's terrible.
No, we're not worried.
They have raided it and raided it just like they've raided the future in all kinds of states to pay for current salaries, spending, whatever it is the politicians want to spend to secure their power and so forth.
But you're not a right-to-work state.
You're not union.
This was the deal when you were made, when you accepted the job as a cop.
Did you know you were going to get $2 million when you retired?
When I hired on, I couldn't spell PERS.
You know, I was a 19-year-old kid when I walked into the police department, and everything just contributed and added up.
And again, we're very thankful for it, but I don't want to.
I agree with you 99.9% of the time.
But our system here is we are not dependent on the government.
We are not dependent on the unions.
So maybe we're in the minority.
I don't know.
Well, I definitely think you are if your pension plan is still showing a surplus and nobody's gotten their mitts on it.
Would they want to, though?
The politicians coming up for this next election are looking at that big nest egg there.
Yeah, and I'll tell you what they're going to do.
I want you to be prepared for how they're going to go after your money.
They're going to say, it's just not fair that police officer Kevin here gets $2 million when he retires when so many people can't even afford the dime slot at the Bellagio.
If there are dime slots at the Bellagio.
I should sit at Bellagio.
The dime slot of Planet Hollywood, whatever.
That's the way they're going to come after your money.
Okay, well, we'll keep our eyes open for that.
All right.
Keep us informed.
That's Kevin from Reno.
This is John in Diller, Nebraska.
Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hey, Rush.
It's glad to talk to you.
My wife and I have been watching and listening to you since the Clintons were in office, and you're on TV.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate that.
I just got a quick question for you.
The governor of New Jersey is talking about cutting union jobs.
What about the white-collar jobs?
Is he going to cut into them as much as they're going to be able to do that?
Oh, yeah, he's cutting everybody.
357 programs are going to be cut.
Everybody's going to be affected.
Some of the union people are getting out.
They're going to take their retirement now.
They don't want to wait around to see all this stuff depleted.
Yeah, everybody's going to get cut.
Everybody that's on a government paycheck, one way or the other, is going to have some kind of a cut somewhere.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's good.
No, thank you, sir.
All right.
Now, see, I know what was going on there.
I know what's going on there.
Blue-collar versus white-collar.
Any white-collar people going to white-collar people.
Folks, the point here, it's who do you look?
I don't want to get any class into business.
I don't want to pit people against each other here because that's not how this is going to get fixed.
But I'd have to say right here that the vast majority of the unemployment in this country is going to be white-collar private sector people or even blue-collar private sector people who are not members of unions.
That's where most of the unemployment is.
By definition, we know what the stimulus money was for.
It was to make sure that states were able to continue to pay the cops, the firemen, whatever the redundant payments that people were giving in the state.
They always claim that the cops and the firemen will be the first to go to teachers as a means of scaring the citizenry into not supporting budget cuts.
But there's so much fraud and there's so much theft and there's so much abuse in all of these state budgets, city budgets, little town budgets, village budgets.
And they always scare you by saying the teachers are going to go.
Then the cops are going to go.
And then the firemen are going to go.
Then your house is going to burn down.
You're going to get robbed and maybe killed.
And it's all because you demanded a budget cut.
And you, no, no, I don't want to die.
And I don't want to get robbed.
Please don't cut.
That's how they hook you.
But the vast majority of people that are unemployed now are going to be joined soon by state and city union employees because the slush money has run out and these states have done nothing.
You just heard that Chris Christie, the state's running a huge, huge deficit.
Tax receipts are down everywhere because unemployment is up.
There are simply fewer people paying taxes, corporate and private.
This is not complicated.
This is Economics 101.
And after a while, when this round of stimulus spending expires, you're going to see a bloodbath out there.
Been predicting this for three to four months now at various states.
I'm talking about state employees, union or otherwise.
Everybody's looking at Greece and the pigs, which is what they're calling the four countries over there causing real stress on the Euro and the European Union.
And BusinessInsider.com says, well, okay, what really got Greece into problem?
What caused it?
And the speculation here is that it was the Olympics.
The Olympics broke the bank in Greece.
Government deficits rose every year after 1999.
And they spent money they couldn't afford that they didn't have in order to put on the Olympics.
That's what they say.
That's the latest excuse.
That's maybe a factor, but I don't think it's anywhere near the total picture.
Well, now this is just playing weird.
I have never, ever heard this complaint before as long as I've been hosting this program on the EIB network.
Dear Rush, I have listened to you religiously for years at work.
Today, I was told by my boss to turn you off.
The reason?
I had my radio turned up to hear the low-volume caller, and I was away from my desk during the commercial break when you pot up the volume level three or four dB, and I wasn't able to turn the volume down.
A boss is screaming, it's too loud, turn it off.
Why is it you have to turn down the volume on callers and turn up the volume on commercials?
Thanks for nothing.
Sincerely, Bernard.
Bernard, what do you think this is?
A TV station?
We don't do that.
You obviously have an inferior radio.
We send all our levels through a compressor.
Everything's matched.
One of those days.
Great show, and you still can't please.
There is still some malcontents out there.
Pat Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
My New Mexico dittos to you.
Thank you, sir.
I watched a little bit of the Olympics over the weekend and the opening ceremonies and so forth.
Interesting contrast to what the Chaicoms did last time.
But anyway, afterwards, NBC...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
What was interesting about the opening ceremony and what the ChiComs did?
Well, they had a malfunction with the equipment, and obviously they didn't have to.
Oh, they had trouble lighting the flame, right?
Right, right.
Only three out of the four flames lit the main flame.
Well, thank God the doves are saved.
Last time it worked in Japan, the doves got fried.
Exactly.
But what I was calling about is afterwards, they interviewed Joe Biden, and apparently he addressed the U.S. athletes before, which you would assume would be a pep talk.
So they asked him what he said to our athletes, and I kid you not, he actually said, and I'll paraphrase, well, I told them that I was impressed with their abilities, but really what blows me away is that they're risking failure in front of millions of people, and yet they still do it.
And I just thought that was a hell of a thing to say to our athletes.
That is the strangest attitude about Olympic competition or athletic competition.
You guys are risking failure in front of millions of people, and yet you still do it.
Right.
I mean, I think that they probably are surrounded and smothered with encouragement and positive thinking as part of their training.
And this was probably a shock to them, especially to hear from our vice president.
Well, he knows failure in front of lots of people.
There's been a year of it.
So I haven't seen that anywhere in the drive-by media.
Well, one thing I did see in the drive-by media, did you hear that our great Olympic skater Peggy Fleming was injured in an auto accident?
I did hear that.
You know, it was in Biden's motorcade?
Yes.
On Sunday.
I mean, this guy's a walking calamity.
I mean, forget the athletes risking failure in front of many.
Retired athletes risk their lives in Biden's motorcade.
Yeah.
We've had a few.
You know what it tells me?
It says Biden doesn't do anything unless he knows it's going to work.
Right, right.
And that's not a good attitude.
Well, it's not.
But these are the guys trying to take risk out of everything, Pat.
There's no question they are.
It'll eliminate the business cycle.
Let's talk about this February 25th Blair House meeting, Republicans and Democrats on healthcare.
This is from Ezra Klein at the Washington Post.
It appears that Obama has prepared a health care proposal.
There has been one person in this country who has been pointing out for a year that he has not had his own program.
That person would be myself, the I, the nominative.
And they hasn't.
They have not had their own program purposely.
The Senate's had their own health care bill.
The House has had their own health care bill.
What I'm told is that posting their proposed health insurance reform, the White House, is nothing more than a compromise bill, taking parts of the White House likes out of both and making it their own.
Ezra Klein writes, I spoke to the White House over the week and they indicated the president's package will not be a new White House plan, but a compromise between the House and Senate bills.
That is to say, the White House expects the House and Senate will have a compromise plan by the time of this meeting that's supposed to be bipartisan for the Republicans to present their ideas so Obama can hear them.
I hope that the Republicans are going up there.
I hope they know what they're doing.
Here's Jonathan Cohn writing in the Liberal Journal of Opinion, The New Republic.
Friday brought yet more reason to think health care reform has a pulse.
Still a bit weak, perhaps, but getting stronger.
It came when Obama issued his formal invitation to the bipartisan meeting on February 25th.
The invitation sketched out the who, the where, and the what.
But the letter's most important passage was this one.
Since this meeting will be most productive, if information is widely available for the meeting, we will post online the text of a proposed health insurance reform package.
This legislation would put a stop to insurance company abuses, extend coverage to millions of Americans, get control of skyrocketing premiums, out-of-pocket costs, and reduce the depths.
Of course, neither the House or the Senate bill does any of that, folks.
I'm getting so weary.
House and Senate leadership have nearly finished negotiating a new compromise version of their legislation.
It's two places now.
It's been reported in the state-controlled media.
I want to know what in the world the Republicans think that's going to happen up there.
So now they've put together a compromise bill.
They've done it outside of the legislative process in having this meeting.
And Republicans are going to, I'll tell you what it is.
It's exactly, it's exactly as I felt.
They're going to go up there.
They've got this compromise.
Now they finally got together.
And guess who's going to say no to it?
The Republicans.
They want to be able to position the Republicans as the party of no, which would be fine if they were the party of no by not participating.
But if they go up there and participate as under the auspices and the premise that Obama puts forth, yeah, we want to hear your ideas.
And then none of them get adopted, and Republicans say, well, we're not going to, they're just, look, I just hope they know what they're doing.
Pure and simple.
Frank in Harbor Springs, Michigan.
Welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
You are next.
Yes, Rush.
Thank you.
Yes.
It's an honor to talk to you.
I've been a longtime listener, and I'm a retired systems engineer for a Ford Motor Company.
And as such, I've survived a number of fairly major recalls, but I do find it interesting the way both the government and the media are continuing to bash Toyota.
You know, they seem to be going after him with continued gusto.
In fact, today, I hear that there are Democrat demands for congressional investigations, which I'm sure will be televised.
But I haven't heard anyone in the media mention the fact that Toyota, who currently operates five assembly plants in the U.S., has no UAW members in any of the plants.
I'm just wondering, I find it interesting.
I know you were talking earlier about the way Obama kind of takes care of his buddies in the UAW.
And I'm just wondering if you think it's possible that Ron Gettelfinger maybe could have been a recent visitor or guest at the White House.
What do you think?
I think it's a rather distinctive.
I think your instincts on this are pretty on.
I think your instincts.
Look at it.
They own General Motors and Chrysler.
They're using the power of government ownership here to go after a competitor on the basis that a competitor is killing its customers.
And, yeah, they're not unionized.
And it's out there for one and all to see.
This is Chicago thug politics.
It's interesting, too, that Toyota did have a unionized plant at the Fremont, California, Newmey facility.
And they announced late last year that they were going to mothball the plant.
That's the one that they inherited from General Motors, and as such, inherited a bunch of GM UAW workers along with it.
But that was their highest-cost assembly plant, and that was the reason given for their shutting it down this year.
I think your instincts are right on the money here.
I mean, there's no question that that's what this is all about, in addition to taking slams at a competitor.
No question whatsoever.
Look, I'm glad you called out there.
Frank, thanks very much.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network.
Back to our caller.
I think his name was Frank for Ford Motor Company talking about the government and UAW.
The U.S. government, I saw it on Fox, U.S. government, which is GM Chrysler and the UAW.
I mean, that's who this is now.
GM, Chrysler, Obama, and the UAW demanding to know what Toyota knew and when did they know it regarding the brake problems and all these recalled cars.
And according to Fox, Obama, GM, Chrysler, and the UAW are demanding that Toyota hand over all related documents to them.
Now, this clearly, ladies and gentlemen, is harassment.
There are literally hundreds of car recalls every year.
We almost never hear about them in the news.
You know, more people die from lightning strikes than have died in Toyotas.
And if they could unionize lightning strikes, I'm sure they'd do it.
And maybe they should, because it never happened then.
But all of a sudden, Toyota being attacked by the UAW for plant closings like the one out in Fremont, California, and for trying to avoid hiring union workers, suddenly they are getting all of this attention from our government, which is in partnership with the UAW in the car business.
Holy spokes.
I know I've got a smile on my face, but sometimes that's all you can do.
This is hideous.
Do you people know the name Leslie Gelb?
I'm sure some of you do.
CFR?
Leslie Gelb, a former New York Times columnist and former senior governor senior government official.
And he is either the, yeah, he's president emeritus of the CFR, the Council on Foreign Relations.
He's also the author of Power Rules, How Common Sense Can Rescue American Foreign Policy, HarperCollins, 2009.
And he's got a piece.
Three pages of advice.
I don't know where it appears, but he's got three pages of advice.
He's one of these wise guys, a wise old man who know how to run the country.
New York Times columnist, CFR, President Emeritus.
He says President Obama desperately needs a sweeping staff shakeup to save his presidency.
Leslie Gelb says he must reassign Rah Emanuel, get rid of Larry Summers, and get rid of the National Security Advisor Jim Jones.
And then Leslie Gelb offers a thoughtful analysis and suitable replacements from his perch as President Emeritus, Council on Foreign Relations, CFR, and New York Times columnist.
But Leslie Gelb doesn't get it.
If Obama were to reshuffle his advisors to get things right, how can he leave out replacing Eric Holder?
I mean, Eric Holder has had twin fiascos.
Miranda ranks for terrorists in the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial in civilian court in New York City.
And if you're going to shake up this administration, how do you not get rid of little Timmy Geithner for allowing that waste of a trillion dollar stimulus it didn't stimulate?
Or how do you not get rid of Janet Napolitano for anything, she says?
How do you not get rid of the White House terror chief John Brennan for his latest two wackos, criticizing a policy as aiding al-Qaeda, he said, followed by bragging that only 20% of release terrorists are recidivists, as though that's something to be proud of.
Only 20% of captured terrorists return to the anti-U.S. battlefield.
That's not bad.
Where do you stop when you start talking about getting rid of people in this administration?
And how in the world do you do it seriously without saying we also got to get rid of Obama?
I mean, if you got to get rid of all these people, you got to get rid of the guy who put them there.
This is amazing to me.
Obama's the guy that put them there.
Axelrod, Rahm Emmanuel, they're all part of the Chicago thugocracy.
And it's as though Obama's this innocent little waif running around playing golf and shooting hoops, ill-served by these people that were somehow forced upon him when he chose them.
We don't even know who all his czars are for crying out loud.
Oh, Robert Gibbs, the press secretarian stand-up comic who makes fun of Sarah Palin.
Someone ought to ask Leslie Gelb, who shouldn't be replaced in this administration?
I mean, Kathleen Sebelius.
That H1N1 pandemic and showing us how to cough safely on our sleeve.
How in the world, if you're going to replace people, do you not start with replacing Obama?
Boy, Obama must really, really want this trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York.
He sent Biden out there to really attack Mayor Bloomberg in New York.
Biden's surprising outburst is an indication of just how upset Obama is at having one of his foreign policy goals, showing a kinder face to the Muslim world, meet a solid wall of opposition in New York.
Biden's saying that Bloomberg's inflating the costs of the trial, not going to be nearly.
They really want this trial.
They really want this trial to go after Bloomberg.
We'll see you tomorrow, folks.
