Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
You know, I feel like I'm back in my first radio job when I was 16 when as a DJ I had to throw every switch.
I had to do it.
I mean, I have to 14 switches here just to get started.
Make sure the cable doesn't get run over in a chair.
Anyway, it's Friday.
You tell I'm live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
L Rush Mow behavior Golden and E IB microphone.
Open line Friday, a golden opportunity for those of you who call and succeed in getting through today.
Whenever you um call Monday through Thursday, you have to talk about things I care about.
But on Friday, I will fake it if necessary.
Friday's where you call whatever you want, whether I care about it or not.
Golden opportunity for you.
Question, comment, whatever.
800-282-2882, the email address, lrushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
White House and the media and a Democrats.
We lost 36,000 jobs last month, and they're out there saying, Oh, ho ho, what great news.
What fabulous news.
And a White House is out there saying, Well, how good that number would have been without the snowstorm.
Well, what I would say is, ladies and gentlemen, how good would the unemployment number be without fear of tax increases?
Cap and tax.
Obamacare.
If businesses were not scared to death of the Obama future, what would unemployment be now?
It's oh by the way, folks, before we uh continue here with the meat of the program, a uh little update for those of you who are subscribers at Rushlimbaugh.com.
Today we're launching our new media player, the Rush Media Player, and as usual, we're testing it live.
We're not why why why why is this so funny, uh, Brian?
We're testing it live.
I mean, we we don't, you know, we could sit here for six months, say folks are working on our new media player and so forth, but we like to test things live.
So this is this is how my mood's actually pretty good.
I just temporarily upset, turn the ditto cam on, turn the microphone on, hit the cough switch, uh, hit a print something, should have cable and hit run over the chair.
I feel like I'm 16 years old back in the first round.
I had to go and turn on the transmitter.
Uh at any rate, where was I?
Oh, yes.
The new Rush Media Player.
This is how Rush 24-7 members can now watch the Flash high definition Ditto Cam.
All you do, click on the flash HD icon as always, and make sure you're logged in, and you'll get right to the new player where the Ditto Cam will automatically start playing when the show's on the air.
Uh, and you get four channels now in the Rush Media Player.
You get the Ditto Cam, a morning update, TV appearances, and speeches.
Of course, haven't been too many of those last two on purpose because I hate them.
All archived Ditto Cam's morning updates are now in HD or available there too.
It's just it one easy to use and easy to find place.
The uh Rush Media Player.
Now, the the free side can only access the TV and speeches channel, but that's pretty good too.
Interviews on numerous TV shows and stuff like the CPAC speech, uh, rush to accents appearances, they are available to people on the uh on the free side.
Now there are some new features that we have on the Rush Media Player that again we're testing live.
Option to go full screen.
You can share links and embed the free videos on the blogs, and you can rate the videos, which are all mine, and they're all going to be five stars, but I mean you still rate them any anyway, and the player has its own search engine.
So the link to it right at the top of the homepage, so everybody go check it out at Rushlimbaugh.com.
Now, if I ladies and gentlemen, if if if I were the Associated Press or Reuters, uh, and you know, we're expecting my opinion audit update today, but it's been delayed.
Uh Sullivan Group thinks more time is needed to actually determine whether I was right in the first place in suggesting Republicans not go to the summit.
Uh I got an interesting note from a guy.
He said, you know, you should never ever admit you're wrong because even if you weren't, you're still boxed in.
You still you were wrong about being wrong, or you were wrong.
So you're still wrong.
Uh so never admit to being wrong.
The headline would be limbaugh unexpectedly correct about Obama's failures, accuracy rating to unexpectedly rise, would be the AP headline were they to cover my um accuracy rating.
Now I think this is a clear majority.
Rasmussen, 55%, say Congress should start over on health care.
Clear majority, don't you think?
I mean, that's four percentage points more than what Obama wants to get.
Oh, I I've uh I'm getting emails from people.
Rush, you gotta you gotta remind people now the real trick here is there isn't gonna be any reconciliation.
Once they pass, if the House passes the Senate bills, done deal.
Whether they go back and and Obama had a meeting with all these guys yesterday, different groups of people.
He said, we don't we can't we have the votes for the public option right now.
But don't worry, we're gonna get it.
We're gonna ram this down people's throats.
This is just the foundation, just a starting point.
And that's damn true.
This is just the foundation if they get this.
And I I they don't have the votes now.
They don't have the votes now, and that's I'm still not uh convinced that they're gonna get close to having the votes in the House for the Senate bill.
Well, we'll we'll keep a sharp eye.
There's two weeks to go here before Obama's resurrection deadline of uh of Easter Sunday.
Let's listen to a little montage here of the uh of the media and some elected officials.
The great news, the great news that only 36,000 people lost their job.
And by the way, I don't even believe the number, but we'll go with it since that's what's been reported.
The nation's unemployment rate is holding steady at 9.7 percent.
Employers cut 36,000 jobs fewer than expected.
The unemployment rate is unchanged in February at 9.7%.
Employers cut 36,000 jobs, which was smaller than expected.
The jobless rate held steady by 9.7%.
That's good news.
The unemployment rate held steady at 9.7% as employers cut fewer jobs than had been expected.
The unemployment rate did not budge, holding steady at 9.7%.
That is better than expected.
We've been waiting for this report.
The news definitely better than expected.
Today is a big day in America.
Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.
That was Harry Reid.
There's only this a big day in America.
A big day in America.
Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today.
So losing 36,000 jobs, a rising underemployment number up to 16%, and a 9.7% unemployment rate is what happens when Obama focuses like a laser on jobs.
You want the lowlights of this, because the drive-bys are once again painting this with uh with rose, well, they're looking at it with rose-cluttered glasses.
I mean, it's absurd to portray this as good news.
Here are the lowlights of an absolutely depressing jobs report.
This is the result of Obama's laser-like focus on jobs.
Remember that.
U.S. non-farm payrolls declined for the 25th time in the past 26 months.
Unemployment rose by 34,000 to stand at 14.9 million.
The jobless rate stuck at 9.7%.
Total hours worked fell by a seasonally adjusted 0.6%.
Job losses in February were concentrated in construction, screws, transportation, insurance, and publishing.
And except for the last two, the stimulus money was supposed to fix all that.
The U-6 alternative gauge of the unemployment rate, which includes discouraged workers and those forced to work part-time, rose to 16.8% from 16.5%.
An economist Heidi Scherholz uh for the economic policy institute in Washington said, What um what we see in this uh report's essentially a job market on pause.
The the pace of decline is slowed dramatically, but jobs are Not being created to put this country's nearly 15 million unemployed back to work.
How about the prospect?
How would you like to consider the prospect here that we may be a nation in decline on purpose, and that for the foreseeable future, as long as these people run the show, we're going to have a 10 to 12% unemployment rate.
That that's going to be the new norm.
That's going to be the new full employment.
Full employment statistically around 4.95%.
How about the new norm now being 10%, 12%?
The um let me tell you something.
The Obama administration, at a lot of levels over at the Pentagon in the White House, they view their mission as to manage an America in decline.
They want an America in decline.
It is about time America got cut down to size.
I met with a guy today.
This is fascinating.
There's a whole bunch of powerful people here in town in Palm Beach, because a Club for Growth, annual convention or whatever they call it, is taking place here.
And quite naturally, many of the attendees have sought a meeting uh with me.
And I have uh I have granted an audience to four of them.
Yeah, one of them was this morning.
I'm not going to name names.
You would know them all.
They come from many different uh spheres, if you will.
One of them said to me today, you know, I was driving around a little over a year ago, just about a year ago.
And I was listening to you, Rush.
And I cringed.
This guy's a Republican.
I cringed when you said that Obama purposefully intends to destroy the country's economy, take it, pare it down to size.
I said, that's I said, no, no, that that can't possibly be true.
It may be that he just doesn't get it.
And that he's not a leader, but no.
I But Rush, I have to tell you.
I can see no other reason to explain this.
We keep heaping mistake after mistake after mistake after mistake.
This is more than somebody just not getting it.
And then this person said to me, you know, we know some people in this administration.
You get a couple of drinks in them, and they're really open up because their egos are huge.
These two guys are over at the Pentagon.
And they said, quite honestly, very proudly, we are here.
It's part of the administration to manage America's decline.
Whatever you think that means, you're watching it.
America's decline.
We are here to manage it.
Not fix it, not correct it, but to manage it because they think this is what we deserve.
That we've been too big shot for too long.
I knew all this, my instincts, because I know people like this.
And I said to them, I said to the guy that to whom I granted the audience when he said, I cringed when I heard you say that.
I said, I know it's hard to hear.
It's difficult to hear me say that.
I said, it's difficult for me to hear myself say it.
So this is um, this now makes four people who have said, you know, a year ago, uh, when I heard you talking about a radical this guy was, I said, no, Rush, this is just the Democrats, it's just some, you know, young, unqualified Democrat.
That's all it is.
Nobody thinks that anymore.
They may think he's unqualified, and they may think he's not a leader, and they may think daddy doesn't get it.
But they all understand now that his agenda is his agenda, and it doesn't matter the impact his agenda has on the country.
He's gonna the latest big time out there going for illegal amnesty.
It's in the Washington Post.
They want to get it done this year.
A path to citizenship for every person in the country illegally.
It's just every day, they flood the zone.
They flip.
Uh, they I don't don't they don't care who knows and who does it.
What do you mean if they told the moderates?
Well, um the so-called moderates, I don't believe there are that many moderates, meaning moderate Democrats.
I don't believe there are that many of them around.
I think it's just uh, you know, uh a label designed to distract.
Anyway, folks, we're a little long here.
I got to take a quick time out.
It is open line Friday.
Snerdley hadn't even answered a phone call yet.
Now the reason for that is he's got to listen to the opening monologue to kind of know what I'm talking about, so he doesn't put somebody up there who's going to say what I just said.
Because if that happens, I mean you don't.
All hell breaks loose in here.
Quick timeout.
Originated by me.
It's uh Rush Linboard.
Talent on lawn from God.
Open line Friday at 800-282-2882.
All right, only two complaints so far about the new Rush Media player.
The first uh complaint is you can't pop out the video and keep it up while you browse to other pages.
We're gonna fix that and add that feature ASAP.
I think we're working on it even now.
A number of you people are complaining about the flashing red dot in the upper left-hand corner of the screen that says live.
Uh, you're saying in the emails that uh you know it's live.
You don't need to be told that it's live, but I kind of like the flashing red dot.
It's gonna be up to me as to whether or not we remove it.
But I kind of like looking at it enough.
I can see where it's distracting, but it kind of matches my shirt today.
So I'll think about that one.
Uh, let's see.
You want to talk about a tsunami.
A tsunami.
And by the way, this unemployment number, don't forget now that the first wave of temporary census workers is factored into this employment report.
But uh this is the Winston Salem, North Carolina Journal.
And it is basically that this tsunami that's coming in May is college graduates.
Now, this I'm not sure what the if this number is national or just in North Carolina.
I can't I can't tell.
But anyway, three million students will graduate from college this year, and many of them are gonna be looking for jobs.
And you know, kids today, they think that the moment the diploma's in their hand that Goldman Sachs is gonna call and offer them 250 grand a year and the house that their parents grew up in.
741,000 of the three million are getting uh an associate degree, one and a half million a number getting bachelor's degrees, six hundred and fifty-nine thousand getting masters, ninety-four thousand uh getting first professional degrees like law or medical, and sixty-three thousand five hundred are gonna be getting doctorates.
And the job market is bleak.
So you're gonna add these people who are gonna be looking for jobs uh as they graduate from May, and they're gonna be listening to all these commencement addresses, telling them how the future is theirs, how important they are, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
That's it's gonna be it ain't gonna be a pretty sight.
Uh, from the hill.com.
Democrats plan pain for Republicans who seek to slow down or block passage of health care legislation, said Senator Sharon Brown, Democrat Ohio, on Wednesday night.
Brown said that if Republicans try to offer amendments and use parliamentary maneuvers to grind out the legislative process, the Democrats would retaliate with all-night sessions and other methods of fighting back.
No.
No, don't say it.
All night sessions.
That's cruel.
All night sessions?
How can they do that?
That's torture.
That's sleep deprivation.
That's the kind of stuff that went on down at Club Gitmo.
Oh, and about that.
Folks, there's big news out there today that is being widely misinterpreted.
Obama, it is said has caved and is now going to try Khalid Sheikh Muhammad in a military tribunal, not in New York City.
And there are stories.
The ACLU is really ticked off about this.
A number of civil liberties groups are really ticked off that Eric Holder has been chopped off at the knees here.
Obama, this is a Andy McCarthy, another brilliant analysis.
He's rivaling my accuracy rating.
Andy McCarthy at National Review Online.
We'll get to it here in just a second, but his point is that this is a fake, it's a head feint.
This is all oriented toward closing Guantanamo.
And this is the sort of the pathway to getting that done.
I'll explain it as the program unfolds.
So Sherrod Brown now threatening pain for the Republican Party if they drag out health care.
I think they're gonna try to do amendments, as many as they can get away with, Brown said Wednesday.
I think we uh we keep him here all night.
Tonight, the next night, the next night, the next night.
Again, sleep deprivation.
This is what went on at Club Gitmo, and here's a Democrat now advocating torture for the Republicans to be used on the Republicans.
If they're going to try to filibuster in the traditional sense or the more modern sense that they do, they're going to have pain too.
They're gonna have real pain.
There's not going to be a reconciliation.
That's what that meeting at the White House was all about yesterday.
Bringing up these various groups of House Democrats.
Look, we're not going to be able to get the public option.
It's not in the Senate bill.
We can't get it now.
It's going to build a foundation.
It's a first step.
There isn't going to be a reconciliation.
By the way, Brian, thanks very much.
Great job, Mozart 40.
Waldo de los Rios said a flamethrower sounds great.
The pro-red dot crowd now weighing in on the Rush Media Player saying, don't get rid of the red dot.
If uh people are watching a red dot, they're not smart enough to focus on Rush anyway, so it's not worth their time.
By the way, if we do get rid of the red dot on the Rush Media Player, we're not going to be able to do it today.
We'll have to do it after we uh shut down and do it for Monday.
I got an email question.
What do you mean there won't be any reconciliation?
Uh this is spent some time on this yesterday afternoon, and it it was it's embarrassing that I missed this whole thing myself.
All of this talk of reconciliation is just another head feint.
All this talk of getting the Senate bill passed in the House and then back to the Senate for reconciliation, where all the things the House wants get added in in a second bill or third bill, but not gonna happen.
And it never the point is it was never the intention.
It's all been a head feint from from the get-go.
Once the House passes the Senate bill, we've got Obamacare.
The Senate's already passed it, the Christmas Eve bill.
So if the House, and the objective is what?
To pass the Senate bill.
There is no new bill, there is no new Obama bill, pass the Senate bill, but Rush, but Russia has the abortion lingo.
Yeah, I know.
And they're telling Stupak and the boys, we'll fix that in a reconciliation.
There isn't going to be a reconciliation.
This is Sorin getting the ring.
And then letting Gollum have it for a couple minutes so we get it back.
There is not going to be reconciliation.
You the minute Pelosi gets whatever she needs, 216 or 217 for that Senate bill, it goes to Obama.
He signs it.
In fact, even if there's reconciliation, he has to sign it.
And so Obama's bringing these people up to the White House yesterday, the various factions of Democrats in the House.
Like Barbara Lee was up there, I think she's chairman of Black Caucus.
I don't like it.
No public option.
Oh, but we don't have the votes for public option.
We just don't have the votes right now for the public option.
That's why it's not in the bill over in the Senate.
And we can't get it in there.
But this is just the foundation.
This is just step one.
We're going to have all kinds of goodies in this thing before it's all over with, but we've got to take the first step.
And the first step is that that's why all the actions focused on the House here.
Can Pelosi get the votes?
It's ignore the Senate.
Everything coming out of the Senate is a distraction intended to keep your eye off where the real action is.
The action is the head count in the House.
Now, one other thing, because I I have uh granted audience to some of these powerful forces that are in town for the weekend.
And I've I've I've asked them what I told you I was going to ask them yesterday.
What about repealing it after it gets done?
Here is the problem with that.
It's a practical, well, not practical, realistic matter.
Once Obama signs the bill, Obamacare is law.
There are several things which happen immediately that will Force businesses large and small to offload their employee benefit health care plans.
If, for example, a small business, medium-sized large business, any business, has health care costs as 14%, 10% whatever cost of doing business.
It's around that or higher.
In this bill, in the Senate bill is an option for employers.
You keep paying your own employee benefits for a while, or you can drop your employee benefit, just pay the government 8%.
Pay the government 8% instead of whatever your health care expenses just pay it to the government and thereby all those people it could be within.
It could be within two years, 50 to 100 million Americans could lose their employer provided health insurance.
Because there is a big come on in this bill.
An employer can pay the government 8% per year off the top, instead of whatever it's costing the employee to provide health care for all the employees, and where do the employees go to get insurance?
to the Obama exchanges.
Now, once that happens, the genie out of the bottle business, Once a significant number of businesses have offloaded their health care benefits, and the government is now providing that insurance, how do you stop that?
In a practical, as a practical matter, how do you...
Okay, we're going to repeal this now.
See, we told you, Republicans don't want you to have health care.
Republicans want to take your health care away.
Just like Republicans, you senior citizens, Republicans want to take your social security away from you.
The cost of doing business in the United States today, as you know, is very high.
There's no economic growth.
People are being laid off.
People are not being hired.
The growth is occurring in the public sector.
In fact, for the first time, public sector employee average salaries are $7,000 a year's high, $7,000 a year higher than in the private sector.
$67,000 versus $60 is the average, not the mean, the average.
And this is a trend that has been ongoing for quite a while.
So any business, you go out and talk to them.
They hate the whole health care situation bugs them.
They have to provide it.
Employees expect it.
They have to provide it to get quality people, but they hate it.
The costs keep going up.
The employees are never satisfied with all of what they're getting, even though the employees are paying no tax on it, it's a free benefit.
Companies now have to have entire departments just to deal with that aspect of running their business, which has nothing to do with running the business.
If you think a company will not choose an 8% off the top option payment to the government rather than 14% to 15% that is costing them to provide benefits for their employees, you've got another thing coming.
With as much pressure and stress on these people to stay open.
All of this is by design, by the way.
Let me tell you something, don't misunderstand me here.
I'm not saying it can't be done, but it has to be done quick.
The other thing is that you've got a president here who can veto any effort to repeal, and do we have supermajorities in the House and Senate override vetoes?
You know he's not going to vote or sign legislation coming out of the House or Senate that repeals his most important baby.
Health care, Obamacare, Obama reform monument care.
Now that's a practical aspect of this too.
And then there is this question have you ever, you know, entitlements are entitlements, have you ever seen one repealed?
So the the the focus here is stopping this.
And don't also don't fall for this notion that if he doesn't get it by Easter, if he doesn't get it by graduation in May, whatever, then it's dead for 10 years.
How many times have we heard that since last Thanksgiving?
They're never going to stop coming back for this.
Whenever they don't get the votes one day after one period, it's just the start of another period to try to get them.
While Obama's focused like a laser on jobs, and granting amnesty to illegal aliens.
And energy, clean energy to create jobs.
All of this is the part that Obama relishes, managing America's decline.
That's his purpose.
That's why the people with him are with him.
He's chosen people who are his mirror image.
They are as radical as he is.
In fact, he doesn't appear radical, but if you look at every one of these people he finds, this latest guy that he's appointed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals thinks that John Roberts is unqualified to be on the Supreme Court because he believes in free enterprise.
He believes in private property rights.
This is a guy Obama wants on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
A guy who thinks the Chief Justice of the United States is too radical because he believes in private property rights and free enterprise.
Well, if Obama picked this guy, that's what Obama thinks, too.
So repeal is going to be a campaign theme.
It better be.
But the focus has to be stopping this.
And that's putting pressure on Democrat members of Congress from every which way it can be brought.
Even with Republicans in the House going and talking to them, uh appealing to them in whatever way necessary to get through.
Who knows?
But it's it's what it's what has to happen.
Uh reconciliation is not the end game here.
The House passing the Senate bill is the end game.
And that's why Obama, again, not to be redundant, but drive the point home.
That's why Obama had all these different factions of Democrats in the House up to the White House yesterday, to assure them that though they're unhappy with various elements of the Senate bill, it's just the foundation.
It's just the start.
Quick time out.
Ram Emanuel's brother, Ezekiel, says we have too many fat people in America.
I'll explain why that's relevant and important when we get back.
You are kidding me.
He's serious.
Oh.
No, no.
Welcome back, uh, ladies and gentlemen, L. Rushball behind the golden EIB micro.
Well, the troops, the troops out there are ticked off of me.
Hey, Rush, thanks for the encouragement.
Thanks for helping to convince me today that we're doomed to Obamacare.
Thanks for nothing, Rush, dear Rush.
You're being suckered on repeal.
The insurance bill does not take effect for three years, so there's no government insurance to convert to.
Yeah, it'll take two-thirds with Obama to override a veto, but after 2012, it might just be a simple majority.
And yes, there was an entitlement repeal back in 8486.
Health-related entitlement passed into law, but the outcry from senior citizens was so great that it was repealed one year.
This is this was an addition to uh Medicare.
It was it was uh catastrophic insurance, and it was going to cost seniors an additional 325, and they followed Dan Rostinkowski home, practically beat him up when he got out of his car, uh, a cheap Buick in front of his Chicago mansion.
Uh look, folks, I'm not trying to discourage you here.
But the truth is the truth.
Now the government exchanges and so forth, yeah, the the the so-called benefits don't happen for four years, but the taxes and all the expenses are gonna kick in immediately to everybody, you and me and to business.
The look it.
All I'm saying is the effort and focus at this point must remain on stopping it.
So that we don't get to this nightmare of of trying to repeal things.
There, I don't think they have the votes.
I said this at the end of the program yesterday and the day before.
I don't, I know they don't have the votes, or we'd have health care right now.
They do not have the votes.
And I don't think they're close to having the votes.
I don't believe anything Pelosi or Reed say about how, oh yeah, we're getting close.
Stupak coming in and out of there.
Don't, by the way, don't put your eggs in Stupak's basket either.
It's possible he's being legit on this, but he's still a Democrat for crying out loud.
And don't forget this.
You know, Steep Stupak had a chance to vote to defund Planned Parenthood.
And did not vote for it.
Now, Planned Parenthood conducts most of the abortions that take place in this country.
If you could defund Planned Parenthood, you would reduce the number of abortions that take place in this country by an astounding percentage.
And the Republicans last year, they knew they were not going to get this passed.
They didn't have the numbers.
But they they submitted a bill that would defund Planned Parenthood as part of another, I think it was a spending bill of some kind.
And Stupak would not vote for it.
Now, this guy's supposedly willing to hold up Obamacare because he's so committed his heart and soul to stopping abortion.
Yet the number one way to defund or to stop abortion is defund Planned Parenthood.
If you just stop the federal grants of Planned Parenthood, like you stop the federal grants to Acorn.
But he didn't vote for doing that.
I mean, we we're dealing with Democrats here.
We have to know who we're dealing with.
What they want is for us to give up.
They want us to give in.
Their relentless pursuit here is designed to dispirit us.
You cannot, you cannot get angry at anybody for telling you the truth of their strategy and what's going on and how close they are to it.
And say, okay, well, give up.
Because I'm not saying give up.
I'm not saying it's over.
I'm not saying they have the votes.
I'm saying they don't right now.
They want us to just assume the fetal position, lose our steam, run over us.
We have to keep opposing this in every way available to us.
We folks are the only reason Obamacare hasn't passed yet.
The Democrats up till January 19th had more than enough votes to get this done.
The only thing that stopped them was you, the Tea Parties, the elections in Virginia, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and there are going to be others.
The unions are behind this, the unions desperately want this.
Obama desperately wants it too.
There is a movement happening, and you are it.
You are part of it.
You are part of this conservative ascendancy that can stop it all.
You have stopped it all in less than a year.
All I'm saying is, if he doesn't get it by Easter, don't think it's dead.
Don't believe this.
Well, it's dead for ten years.
Folks, I don't I wish I could come up with an analogy.
Think of Obama has been told by whoever he respects most that if his life is over, he will die if he doesn't get this.
And he loves life.
I don't care.
Whatever analogy you can come up with yourself to persuade you how important and and and uh intent he is on getting this done.
Now the Republicans up there in Washington have to do everything they can to plug the holes in the dike up there.
They've got and when they have done a good job of it, until we can get more elected help up there to reconcrete the walls.
We've got to hold out here and stop this, put the brakes on through uh through November and actually then through through January when the new house gets uh sworn in.
There's a chance.
And the and the the best evidence of the fact that there's a chance is that they don't have it now.
With all the majorities that they had, with all the media help that they had, with all the propaganda that they had, with the power of the personality and the persuasive abilities of Barack, but they don't have it.
Look at the public opinion polls on this.
55% want to start over, want to scrap it.
That's a clear majority, Mr. President.
Bigger than the 51% you claim you want with reconciliation.
The action is in the House.
Be back.
Here's a good analogy.
Not of how to look at Obama, but how to look at the healthcare bill.
And maybe Obama too.
The health bill is like the first Terminator.
First Terminator movie.
It starts out looking like it's just what we need.
And then it's exposed for what it really is.
It's nothing at all like we see it or imagine it.
But every time you kill it, every way you kill it, it keeps coming back in a new form.
That's the way to look at this.
Okay, I gotta take a timeout.
