The second half of the uh of the health care summit just kicked off uh twenty minutes late.
I want to ask you if if if you if you're watching this.
Would you ever envision any competent CEO running a meeting like this?
There's no objective other than to try to embarrass Republicans, but that's been blown.
There is no point.
Uh nobody's in charge of anything.
There is no organization.
There is simply no end game here.
There's no reason for the meeting.
If I were the Republicans in all I would have said, I'd have said we'd be happy to do this, but we're going to do it on GoToMeeting.com.
We'll see you on the computer.
They're busting everybody up there to Blair House in actual buses.
Uh rather than letting these guys uh drive up uh individually.
Anyway, welcome back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network, 800-282-2882, the email address, Rushboat EIB net.com, a blogger.
Who is this guy?
Bungalow Bill.
Bungalow Bill commenting on the unfortunate death at SeaWorld yesterday.
Where that uh that whale pulled a trainer in there and it was over.
Um we know more about Tillicum, the killer whale, in five hours than we knew about Obama before the election.
Uh the mainstream media failed to report on Obama's college days, his birth certificate, drug use, associations with Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Frank Marshall, Davis, connections to Acorn, his participation with the Annenberg Project, how he used the courts to win earlier elections, his direction towards communism, radical beliefs, racial beliefs, all the dirty little secrets hidden so Obama could assume office.
And now that he's president, they fail to dig in deeply to the health care plan, the stimulus plan, and all the other controversial stuff leading towards socialism.
I haven't heard the mainstream media discuss Obama's desire to track Americans with their cell phones and increase wiretapping capabilities, yet they screamed that Bush was listening in on terrorists.
Um he quotes uh the soundbite we played um from uh uh just before the election, Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw uh with a whole discussion of what they didn't know about Obama.
Oh, I don't know really what books he's I don't know who he listens to.
I I really have no idea what books I haven't seen on the list of uh people that he considers very important.
We really don't know, Charlie.
That's a terrible thing with it.
We don't know.
But in less than a day, we know everything we need to know about this killer whale.
We know where it was born, we know who its parents were, we know which tanks it lived in, how many people have died around this killer whale, and all the other details the media managed to dig up about the killer whale.
Uh but we don't know anything about Obama.
We know everything about this whale.
And this whale's a serial killer whale.
Three humans so far, and and they and in every instance they think the whales are just playing, and they don't know their own strength.
They're just tossing the victims around uh in their and they're driving.
I mean, that's one of the things I read um I read today.
Now, if I didn't know better.
Oh, can we jip?
I don't even know it's it's it's Tom Dung Heap Harkin now speaking.
I don't know what I just want to hear a little bit of this.
It's gotta be good.
We're gonna I'm writing to voice my concern regarding my family's rapidly escalating health care costs on Saturday for the time.
It's uh it's sob story after sob story after sob story.
Remember Louise Slaughter with the sob story of the day and a dentures that some woman in her district has to wear of a dead person because she can't afford her own.
Okay, jip it.
$16 and 20 cents.
This is a 14.6% increase, and will result in a yearly cost of $18,194.40 percent.
Obama looking on very concerned, folks.
Very concerned.
Our monthly health insurance premium was $373.50 per month.
Tom Hark and reading a letter from a constituent.
Which had a lower deductible and covered three additional.
about how people insurance companies are killing all this whole family costs are out of control and as a self-employed individual i feel powerless at the current rate of increase by the time i reach medicare age my premiums will cost forty two thousand dollars per year As a farmer, I manage risk on a daily basis.
Any of this have to do.
With reforming health care.
I have not yet found a lot of money.
This is all about trying to position Republicans as big friends of killer insurance companies.
That's it.
Do it for Paul's plans.
Do it for Paul!
Stuck in it in an expensive pool.
One more time, do it for Paul!
The best option would be for the U.S. Congress to pass comprehensive health care reform.
Obama looking on concerns.
very very concerned with the same story in the future of my small business depends on a sincerely Raymond Smith Buffalo Center Iowa Mr. President.
We spent I hear talk about well, we've got to start over and do all this thing again.
You know, we spent one year considering a range of ideas from experts from all over the political spectrum.
Obama very concerned now.
Two committees.
The Help Committee under the able leadership of Senator Dodd, the Finance Committee under the leadership of Senator Bacchus.
Held over a hundred bipartisan meetings and walkthroughs to discuss this bill.
Our bill contains over 147 distinct Republican amendments.
Now on the issue of health insurance reform of the ten key elements in the House bill.
We have nine of them in our bill.
Senator Harkin Rush Limbo here, and I would I would like to uh I would like to voice the concern about my my family's rapidly rising tax bill.
I figure the House five years bill.
Over half of what I earn will be in the hands of people like you.
I don't know if I can go on that way, Senator.
Can we talk about my family's rapidly rising federal tax bill, Senator?
Don't let me send you a sob story letter on that.
Will Obama look concerned when you read that letter?
So I think we're very close on this.
Senator Hart, do you have any other letters from constituents complaining about the rising tax burden and the pain and suffering it's causing their farm family?
We can take an incremental type of an approach.
We don't have to do anything else.
any letters would be turned down for medicare medicare reforms you can only do that if everybody's in the pool You can only get everybody in the pool if you make it affordable for middle class families and others.
You can only make it affordable.
Senator Harkin, could we put together an income tax pool?
I could join a whole bunch of other citizens or reduce my overall rate because you would agree on a cheaper rate if we all pooled our resources for income taxes, Senator Harkin.
Without doing it all together at all, I see a picture of President Obama seeing he's still very deeply concerned, ladies and gentlemen, this story being told by Tom Hart.
Deeply deeply concerned.
And they found it to be a debacle because the insurance premiums skyrocketed.
New Hampshire, Kentucky, and Washington were forced to repeal their reforms because of that.
Case in point, Massachusetts in the 90s put in uh health insurance reforms or anything else.
Individual market premiums doubled.
Runs Massachusetts.
Four years ago when they did their comprehensive reform, they put the package together, you know, by free.
Has stopped covering you can't cover this incremental approach.
Every time I hear about you know, we're sinking.
We're drowning in this country on health care.
They're showing hockey, Senator.
They're showing hockey on the Obama network.
Women's hockey to boot.
Women's hockey to boot.
You say, well, it didn't reach out.
Then we'll throw him at 30 foot.
By that time, the swimmers drowned.
And that's what's going to happen to race myths.
Senator Harkin has a time limit on Democrats filibustering during the uh the health care summit here.
By the time if we do this kind of incremental type of an approach that I hear others talking about.
President Obama, do you feel we need to stop this?
I mean, this is rambling on incoherently making less sense than you have been.
I'd like to put this in a different kind of a contextual framework.
Different, whoa, no.
We don't allow segregation in our country.
Conservatives are not allowed in a lot of places, national origin, etc.
President Obama.
President Obama is a talking point alert.
Talking point alert, all this is talking points.
President Obama, you've got to stop this.
This is another problem.
This is Harkin using statecraft, Obama.
Nothing more than talking points.
Harkin, don't you realize the campaign's overhealth.
And you won.
Why should we?
Why should we?
Obama's very concerned still.
Allow that to happen.
It's time to stop segregating the government.
That's why insurance reform is so vital.
Because the health insurance industry in this country is based on a flaw.
What's that?
And the flaw is it.
Their ratings are based on segregating people because of their health.
It's exactly what your health care bill does.
It's exactly what your own health care bill.
Have you heard of the death pedals in your own bill, Senator?
You're segregating people out because of their health status.
Do it for Paul.
Do it.
I sold insurance.
I was an insurance agent when I was a young man.
And you worked in that hated industry.
I've never forgotten.
How many people did you screw?
People in the pool.
Cheaper it is for everybody.
You start selling the state.
Everybody sells insurance screwing everybody.
How many people can screw when he sold insurance?
Let's think about that.
It's time to stop that kind of segregation in our country.
Senator Senator.
Why don't you want to talk about Obama's health care bill?
What the hell is it?
You're talking about when you sold insurance and segregation of civil rights.
On the issue of insurance reform in pre-existing conditions, there are well there you heard just a little bit of the back and forth.
That last one between Well, that's it.
I guess everybody's getting tired of this now.
But that was uh that was Senator Harkin, uh, ladies and gentlemen, not talking about the uh Obama bill, but rather getting in uh some comment there about about segregation.
Um I was not making it up.
Obama's own network is now showing Olympic women's hockey.
And uh yes, nerdly, they are wearing clothes.
Uh we'll be back.
Yeah, I'm not gonna play the whole thing, I but I just want you having it standing by out there because uh remind people what I was doing.
So, in the in the spirit of bipartisanship, ladies and gentlemen, Tom Harkin compares opponents to health care at to segregationists.
Let me see if I understand what he was saying.
If everybody is not part of a government run health care system, it's like segregation.
That's that's what he was saying.
If we're not if we're not all part of a government-run system, there's segregation out there.
Tom Harkin is one of the biggest loads in the Senate, is all I can say.
He is just one of the biggest loads.
All right, tell me.
Is this not a good day for me to share with you a new feature from the Heritage Foundation for members?
It's a great day because this is Obama holding his press stunt of a so-called health summit.
You know, ask heritage.org.
Well, you can now send questions to the Heritage Foundation researchers, and you may well get an answer from these PhD educated folks.
I had a meeting with the Heritage Foundation people last time they were here, and uh I said, you know, you've called the site, Askheritage.org, and by God I would love to ask you people so many questions.
You know what?
We'll make that available.
And they're announcing it today.
Now, I don't normally make a big deal out of this kind of thing because you can get all the answers you need here, frankly.
But for those of you who like to stay after school and ask more questions, you now have a renowned think tank to follow up with one of our EIB partners, the Heritage Foundation.
Now there are all kinds of reasons to be a member in good standing with Heritage, including this one now, the opportunity to ask them specific questions.
I mean, you this is like being able to call one of these brainiacs in there, one of these conservative brainiacs, and to have them help you understand something.
If you need it, the odds are you won't because you listen to me.
But if after the show's over, something comes up and you can't listen to me, Heritage Foundation, the website titled Askheritage.org, $25 minimum donation required, and it is worth it.
And this new feature is absolutely phenomenal.
Okay, Detroit, Michigan.
Don, uh, as we go back to the phones, great to have you with us, sir on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Great to talk to you.
Thank you.
Uh just wanted to share a small story with you, unlike these uh teeth stories you've been hearing today.
Uh my wife, after a routine blood test, was diagnosed with a little bit of a high sugar, and they needed to monitor it.
I'm currently unemployed and uninsured.
And I went to one of the best hospitals here in Detroit.
They not only did the tests, they gave us all the literature, the education, the equipment, the medical devices, and everything to monitor her blood work.
And they didn't ask me for a dime.
So, you know, all these sob stories I've been hearing is maybe one out of a hundred.
I don't know what the ratio is.
You know what?
That's exactly right.
And you you talk about props.
This has been nothing but a giant prop.
Every Democrat's gotten up there and and read a letter from a constituent or told some sob story.
Uh and it all adds up, boy, how unfair a rotten this country is.
How mean the people in the insurance business are.
How mean the people in the healthcare business are.
And we need to do something about that.
They've only been talking about this for 30 years this way.
Tom Coburn made the point, Mr. President.
You go to the emergency room, you get covered.
It's the law.
And nobody who doesn't get treatment in this country.
And we've heard the horror stories.
Something like ten people in some little Texas hospital account for over 6,000 emergency room visits over three years.
Yeah, really right.
By the way, folks, have you noticed something today?
Have you noticed how um all these Republicans sound just like Tom Harkin?
Have you have you noticed how all these Republicans sound just like all the Democrats at this thing today?
You miss that certainly?
You missed that?
Well, then you obviously don't have your you you you don't have your mind right, or it's not screwed on properly.
Because there's no difference.
The big difference my foot.
There's no difference.
Everybody knows it's all a these people are all inside the beltway taxers and spenders.
It's all the same bunch of people.
I got my my email from my listeners is telling me that every day here.
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, a lot of people want to.
Why were you shouting, do it for Paul?
Do it for because of this.
This is a well stone memorial.
Will you stand up and keep fighting for social and economic justice?
Say yes!
Paul!
For Paul, will you stand up and keep fighting for better wages for those who mop our floors and clean our bathrooms?
For those who take care of our elderly, take care of our sick, teach our kids, and help our homeless.
Say yes!
Her poll.
Will you stand up and keep fighting for cleaner air and cleaner water for a cleaner environment for our children and our future?
Say yes.
For Paul.
Will you stand up and keep fighting for peace and understanding and to stop the exploitation of women and children around the world?
Say yes!
All right, that's enough.
That's Wellstone Memorial in October, the 29th of October 2002.
That is Tom Harkin uh doing it for Paul.
Um Gail in Parumph, Nevada.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hi, Ross.
It's a great honor to speak to you.
Thank you.
Um I what I have heard and noticed uh today and through this whole week, uh Barack Obama uh says, okay, this is our benchmark.
We're gonna start with my my But what has happened is he didn't count on the Republicans coming in and say, okay, let's start with your plan.
We don't like this, this, this, and so what it is is he's just dumbfounded that they even know what they're talking about.
That the um benchmark that he set is exactly where they started from.
He doesn't want them to talk about that.
And I think they're coming out wonderful.
They I agreed with you.
I didn't want them to go.
I'm glad they did.
I am too.
I I I had to admit moments ago I was wrong.
I yeah, I know.
I I put that down as one.
What?
When that's a great ready to do is they wanted to discuss the differences, what they disagreed with.
That's not what he wanted to do.
Yes, but it is in th that see, he's being caught in his own lie because he did say, let's come up and see where we can find common ground.
And and he said, but we're not starting over.
The starting point, you're right.
The baseline is my bill.
But he doesn't even know what's in it compared to to our guys.
So that's a great analogy that you had there.
Uh he's he th the Republicans are doing Exactly what Obama asked them to do, and he can't keep up.
And now his own network.
Folks, you may think it's a contract with the Olympics.
For women's hockey?
His own network's bummed out of this thing.
You gotta go to C Speed.
Even Fox gave up on it.
Folks, it's so bad we turned our microphone off.
We can't even jip it.
We joined the crowd in pulling out of there.
The only place you can watch this now is uh is C-SPAN.
Is CNN got it on?
I don't have.
They ditched it too.
Well, that's a sure sign it's not going well for the Bamster folks.
Sure, sure sign.
Now, um this latest story from uh from the Fed Chairman Bernanke.
I wonder if he was trying to sabotage the health care theatrics today.
With uncharacteristic bluntness, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke warned Congress that the United States could soon face a debt crisis like the one in Greece, declaring that the central bank will not help legislators by printing money to pay for the ballooning federal debt.
This happened yesterday.
Now, if I'm a Republican in that room, I might read some of what the Fed chairman to the president several times.
Because his bill hasn't been scored because he doesn't have a bill.
All the Democrat bills destroying the insurance industry are budget busters and are bigger budget busters with every passing year, which means that Obama, on purpose and against the warnings now of Ben Bernanke is risking the destruction of the U.S. economy.
Mr. President, did you see what the Fed chairman said yesterday that we could soon face a debt crisis like the one in Greece?
And this is before we have your health care bill.
Oh, for those of you in New York and New Jersey, uh, you are going to pay 25% of the new Obama health tax.
I'll have details for you on that.
We get back.
You know the real, the real horror stories in health care are taking place in Great Britain and in Canada.
This is from Reuters, an independent inquiry said uh Tuesday of this week that it had found shocking standards of care at National Health Service Hospital Trust in the Midlands, including patients being left unwashed for up to a month.
The inquiry's chair Robert Francis said many patients treated by the mid-Staffordshire and NHS Trust had suffered horrific experiences that'll haunt them and their loved ones for the rest of their lives.
I heard so many stories of shocking care.
The deficiencies at the trust were systemic, deep-rooted, too fundamental to brush off as isolated incidents.
And I I don't even want to give you details of what some of this stuff was.
I mean, people laying around in their own filth.
It was just, and this is this is nationalized health care over in Great Britain.
And every seems like every week we get more and more just horror stories coming out of there about what it's turning into.
Snerdley, you'll be interested in this.
This is from AOL News.com, poll dancing.
And people who pole dance are pushing for it to become an Olympic sport.
Pole dancing, the titillating mainstay of strip clubs throughout the globe, may one day be an Olympic sport.
KT Coates, uh pole dancer in England, and fellow advocates are circulating a petition for a test event at a 2012 Olympics at a more formal event four years later in Rio.
Currently they have 4,000 signatures, which seems unambitious, considering a weekend canvas of strict clubs in New York alone could probably double that number.
Um they've even focused this effort on uh on Oprah.
Not I mean, not not poll dancing on Oprah, but on Oprah Show.
Uh Hong Kong held pole dancing championships in 2007, and other countries have similar competitions.
Now, from New York, CBS, HD, eyeball two news.
President Obama's new health care plan really socks it to New York taxpayers, and it's bad news for residents of New Jersey and Connecticut, too.
The numbers are eye-popping.
President Obama's plan to tax investment income to pay for his health care package would force New Yorkers to fork over an additional four point eight billion dollars in taxes on money they get from interest dividends and other investments.
But here's the rub.
A study by the Manhattan Institute finds that New Yorkers will pay twelve to fifteen percent of all the money raised by the new investment tax.
New Jersey residents will pay seven to nine percent.
That's nearly twenty-five percent of the total uh the hit to area taxpayers is so staggering that experts wonder how our congressmen and senators can support it.
The question is so politically volatile that a number of congress congressmen did not participate in CBS two HD eyeball news's phone calls to see if they could support the president's plan.
Chief among them, tax cheat Charlie Wrangell, who's head of the Ways and Means Committee.
But at least one Democrat did break ranks.
Taxes on income, taxes on dividends we are a very high cost state, so we'll pay a larger portion of that burden, so I'd rather have a tax that's fairer.
More across the board, something like taxing the profits of insurance companies I think is better, said Kirsten Gillibrand.
This is a disaster for New York said Representative Peter King of all the plans by the president this this one's the worst as far as the terrible impact and damage it's going to do to New York.
You couple this with a Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial because they still haven't given up on that taking place in New York I mean it's bad news.
Who's next?
Marie in Kansas nice to have you on the EIB network hello.
Hi.
Hi.
It's so good to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
Um well I kind of just wanted to change gears a little bit um the reason I called was to talk about um education not health care because I'm a public educator um and today was the only day I had to call um yesterday I was at a curriculum planning meeting and they're talking about changing the curriculum so much for kids starting in middle school not teaching them history anymore.
Wait they're gonna just wipe history from the curriculum in the middle school in Kansas where in Kansas is this You don't want to say that's why I'm no it's rural.
You know what surprises me about this is the vehicle they're using to pollute kids' minds with current events.
They're using history classes to to uh advocate global warming to uh to advocate Obama's presidential agenda to trash conservatives and Republicans there's a lot of places where history is not even being taught at all it's it's being written every day uh under the guise of history but uh it's basically current events politics being taught I'm surprised that they would they would why why do they want to do this?
Okay.
This is the reason that they want to completely stop h teaching history and social studies is because they want to start teaching real world economics and start teaching them about their future and this isn't all they want to start in elementary school all through middle school gearing them toward a specific career so that when they're in high school they will essentially be working toward that career not getting a well-rounded education so that in college they can,
you know, maybe have a history class, maybe have a fine arts class, choose what they want to do and in high school they'll be working in their career.
So they want to put them in this little box and only teach them these little things because that they're just like robots.
You know this this sounds very familiar to way the Chiccoms do it they orient kids toward one specific area that the state needs help in and they and they educate them on that and that's it.
And if they find these gifted students that are really smart, then they assign them maybe to the party.
And give them the party apparatus as well.
They used to do that in the Soviet Union.
But why can't you teach history and real world economics?
I mean, how long is a school day in rural Kansas?
Well, right now, we're extending it just a little bit.
It's about eight hours.
have just been informed that in Palm Beach County which is where we are here that in three years or three years ago.
Three years ago, it's already in place here, three years ago.
When you enter the ninth grade, you are mandated to select a major career.
How is that a well-rounded education?
I don't know.
It's just it's very frustrating.
And it's so frustrating to the point that I just almost don't want to be a part of it.
But then if I who's going to say no, who's going to be an advocate?
Well, see, I could teach real world economics here in five seconds.
Real world economics is, Republicans are evil, corporations are evil, and capitalism is immoral.
And of course, if you can repeat that, you get an A, and we'll move you on to the next uh subject.
Look at the subject of education has been one that has interested me for a long time, but not in the traditional soppy way.
We met educate I killed me.
But you get I do, because I get so sick and tired of talking about funding and more money and education.
The education system missed me.
See, I knew when I was nine years old what I wanted to do, and they didn't care.
They went the well-rounded route.
Now I understood it.
It's their business to educate people.
There are people who are trained specialists at educating people.
Um they have to do it in a mass way because you know, 30 to 40 people in a class, I'm talking about my little high school in junior high.
But that was what was frustrating for me about it because, you know, I I I knew what I wanted to do, and so little of what I had to do was oriented towards it.
And I talked to my mom and dad about it, because I skipped school.
I just I especially when I got my first radio job 16.
I'm I I'm hanging around the radio station all day.
And what son, they didn't understand.
They came out of great depression.
Educate the opportunity for an education was like the greatest gift that you could have.
And I'm bored.
I don't care.
I don't it these it's it's I don't like the social aspects of it.
I don't like the teachers.
Uh son, you you're not old enough to know what's good for you on this yet.
Uh educator's doing that.
My dad was whatever happened in school, they were right and I was wrong.
That's just the way the way it was.
But I fr I'm being honest, I did soak up a lot when I was in school.
Uh I I did soak up a lot that I didn't know I was soaking up.
But there's a lot that I learned that I courses I took in school, I uh I I took all the way up to calculus.
I don't even know what it is now.
I did okay in geometry, but I never use it.
Uh and I don't know if I could now.
There's a lot of stuff that you when you talk about a well-rounded education, I c I can honestly say this, that I when I finally quit college, for the all the reasons I've told you, I need to rehash them.
It was probably about six months later, when I had moved away from home, and suddenly, like a big slap in the face, I realized I was going to have to demonstrate what I know, because I don't have a piece of paper that says I know anything.
I don't have a diploma.
I got a high school diploma, but big whoop.
But I don't have this magic diploma from some college that tells anybody I'm educated, and that's what gets your foot in the door in an interview.
After that, it doesn't mean anything.
Uh so that's when I actually started reading voluminously, omnivorously.
That's when I started trying to soak up everything I could that interested me.
Now I'm not I'm not saying I am self-educated, because I did spend all those years in school, I did soak up a lot of stuff, and particularly uh American history, uh literature and stuff.
Uh but I I'm I'm convinced that I did more learning and acquiring of knowledge.
Well, I know it's true, because I'm I've I'm still doing it, and I've been out of school a lot longer than I was in it.
And that's another thing I found out about people.
People when they graduated college, they thought that was it.
The paper, the diploma said it all, and they their their curiosity ended.
They had met the objective of being educated.
And my I I haven't fulfilled it yet, because I never will.
It's an ongoing thing.
As long as you're alive and as long as you're curious, you're going to be learning things.
Like, I didn't know what a cargo cult was until a couple days ago.
And now I know that the cargo cult is basically Obama.
But I had never heard of it.
So I this this the whole subject of education is a is a fascinating thing to me, because we do put faith in the people who are trained educators.
Here's how to best uh give the young person a well-rounded education.
But I have to tell you something.
If I was nine, and if somebody if I had been able to say, you know, I want to learn everything I can about the talent, skills necessary for broadcasting.
I would have soaked it up, and they would have not been able to get me out of that school.
But instead, I was told, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not even gonna stick with that.
It's impossible that somebody nine years old knows what they want to do, or twelve years old even.
So I don't know.
I've I've I've mixed emotions about it, but I I understand your suspicions because a bunch of libs are now running these uh institutions, and that the whole notion of not teaching history is um I know exactly what that's about.
That that is about making sure that those kids don't have the slightest idea what America really is all about, what it has been and what it can still be.
Back after this.
And we are back.
Ladies and gentlemen, um I CNN just rejoined the uh the healthcare summit, and I think I know why.
Uh the Democrat plan for the second half is just to run out the clock.
They're holding on to the ball.
The Republicans are not even allowed to say anything.
Uh here's the time, the way the time broke down in the morning session.
The Democrats spoke 108 minutes, the Republicans 56 minutes, and here's the breakdown.
Obama 58 minutes, but he said he didn't count because he's president.
He actually said that.
Obama spoke 58 minutes.
The Republicans spoke 56 minutes, Democrats spoke 50.
So if you add Democrats and Obama, it's 108, and the Republicans for 56 minutes.
I think CNN probably joined because it's nothing but Democrats now.
