Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Does it Obama really serious?
He thinks he can distract people from my show by having a joint session with the President of Haiti right as this program starts.
Is he really that delusional that he thinks people are going to tune out this show for a joint session with the President of Haiti?
I was how did the president of Haiti get here?
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the fastest week in media.
Here we are already at Wednesday.
Great to have you here.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882, the email address, El Rushball at EIB net.com.
Well, look at this.
Venezuelan officials, that means Hugo Chavez, have taken control of two sugar mills.
This is from an approving uh state-controlled associated press.
All happy down there.
Hugo Chavez has taken over two sugar mills.
He's a Piker compared to Obama.
Obama has taken over two of the largest companies in the world, General Motors and Chrysler.
And I got a story in the stack today.
Chrysler is doing worse than even Toyota.
Next, he's taking over student loans and uh Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and mortgages and so forth.
Yeah, folks, it is it is just it is a delight to watch the implosion of the Democrat Party.
It is it is a delight to watch the fact that the Democrat Party is a gulag being exposed.
It is a delight to just watch all of the idiocy Nancy Pelosi, we've got the soundbite coming up.
We have to pass the Senate bill so people will know what's in it.
Somebody said who was somebody said that's like you got to buy the house to get a tour.
I think it was Ed Morrissey.
I'm not sure who said it.
But it's, I mean, these people are just, and of course, Mass is a train wreck.
And Ram Emanuel is a train wreck.
David Letterman spent 10 minutes making fun of Ram Emanuel last night.
This kind of stuff just doesn't happen.
And then get the Dick Durbin of all people is out there undercutting Obama.
Uh Dick Lou, we got two sound bites.
This is Monday morning in Glensdale, Pennsylvania.
Here's Obama talking about his health care bill.
Our cost-cutting measures mirror most of the proposals in the current Senate bill, which reduces most people's premiums.
This morning on the Senate floor, here is Senator Dick Durbin speaking.
Anyone who would stand before you and say, well, if you pass health care reform, next year's health care premiums are going down, I don't think it's telling the truth.
And Dick Durbin has just called President Obama a liar.
Sure.
He just called him a liar.
What and the rest of Durban's comment, nobody ever said we're going to bring the rates down.
What we're going to do is slow the rate of growth.
So his own party is undercutting President Obama.
We have now from a relentlessly, relentlessly silver lining associated press.
Americans have come to detest Congress ever more deeply as it nears the end of a nasty fight over health care, but more than half still back President Obama, a bright spot for a Democrat Party counting on its leader to help stave off what a joke.
The real the headline of this story is Obama more popular than Congress.
What the real headline ought to be when you read the story is Congress hated more than Obama is hated.
And he's down to 40, what is it, 43% approval in Rasmussen?
It's the lowest he's ever been, the highest the Rasmussen uh superapproval disapproval index is.
The latest associated press poll found that the fewer people approve of Congress than at any point in Obama's presidency.
Support has dropped significantly since January to a dismal 22%, as the health care debate has roiled Capitol Hill.
Uh it's now don't don't misunderstand.
I'm I'm not I'm not I'm not saying we're out of the woods with these people.
It's just it's just a delight to see all of this kind of stuff happen.
Like here, for example, Kathleen Sabilis.
Again, from a very approving Associated Press, the head of the Health and Human Services Department sketching out a stark choice for the nation's insurers, oppose reform and eventually lose customers, or work with the Obama administration to improve the legislation.
Kathleen Sabilius told health insurers today that if overhaul fails, premiums will continue to rise, and employers will cancel coverage.
All that by by design, by the way.
She said that the industry may make money in the short term, but it won't work for Americans, and it eventually won't help insurers.
Never mind.
Never mind that as we have previously pointed out, the sole intention of the Obama administration is to destroy private health insurance.
Why else would they be trying to force insurance companies to take on preconditions?
That means that many, if not most people, will happily wait until they desperately need insurance coverage for an illness or accident before they resort to buying any.
And Obamacare demands that the insurance company sell it to him.
Well, that's not that's not even insurance.
That's private sector welfare, and they can't stay in business doing that, which is the purpose.
It is the design.
And now this delay, or this this deadline, don't you love this?
The argument over the deadline out there, uh, ladies and gentlemen, a disconnect.
This is from the Hill newspaper.
House uh majority leader Stenny Hoyer and the White House on Tuesday engaged in a rare public dispute over when health care reform will be voted on.
Hoyer yesterday suggested the March 18th deadline recently set by Robert Gibbs.
Does anybody believe Gibbs is setting deadlines?
Does anybody really believe that?
That Gibbs is setting headlines.
Deadlines.
This is an Obama deadline.
At any rate, that deadline of March 18th, not endorsed by congressional leaders, Steny Hoyer said, no.
None of us have mentioned the 18th other than Mr. Gibbs.
Hoyer told reporters when asked about the date being viable for the House to vote on the Senate bill.
Uh Gibbs didn't back down Tuesday afternoon, saying there seems to be a disconnect here between Congress and the White House before stopping himself to add this was information I was given based on conversations people had in this building uh with the with people from Capitol Hill.
So now they're arguing about the deadline.
But the reason they don't have the votes to get this done by March the 18th, which is just 11 days, uh, eight days from now, they do not have the votes for this.
Now they want to get this done by March 18th.
Why do you think they want to get it done by March 18th?
I'll tell you why they want to get it done by March 18th.
They want to get that, and by the way, I think this is all bogus, but this is the timeline theory.
This is the story.
They want the House to pass the Senate bill by a week from tomorrow.
Then the Senate will have a week or so for reconciliation, and to be able to get it all done and sent to Obama before everybody leaves on the Passover Easter break.
Because they're all worried that when these clowns head out of town to go back home for the Passover Easter break, they're going to catch hell from constituents, and it's going to be like the August recess was last year, town halls, all kinds of public protests, and they they're really saying if we don't get it done here, and this is about five times five different dates that they have said.
If we don't get it done by X, it's gone.
If we don't get it done, now is if we don't get it done by March 18th, it's dead.
And Hoyer said, well, whoa, whoa, well, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Now, Obama has told us that health care reform is important.
4,000 people die from lack of insurance every day.
Obama has told us this.
I don't forget these things, ladies and gentlemen.
Obama has over the and some Democrats over the course of this debate, 4,000 people a day.
Of course, it's a bogus number, but that's what they're saying.
4,000 Americans die from lack of insurance every day.
But it's not more important than Congress going on another vacation on time.
They haven't had a vacation since last month.
They got to have another vacation.
The Passover Easter break.
And passing health care is not more important than their vacation, even though 4,000 Americans every week are dying from uh lack of insurance.
Uh so really really important stuff here, um, like voting for a bill, no way that they're going to be held to a deadline.
Of course, Obama's never met a deadline either.
He has yet to meet any of his own deadlines.
Gitmo's still open.
Uh, we're still in Iraq.
We've ramped it up in Afghanistan.
What deadline is Obama met?
He's got that lackey Gibbs out there slapping down Hoyer and all these other guys.
In fact, I'm told Pelosi in a uh in a meeting with Rahm Emanuel just said, look, butt boy, back off.
There ain't gonna well didn't say butt boy.
It's a little look, little naked guy.
Uh there's not gonna be a deadline of March 18th.
You know, Roms up there trying to twist arms and whatever other body parts he can get hold of in these meetings with Democrats in Capitol Hill, and they finally react March 18th is not possible because they don't have the votes.
They're nowhere near it, folks.
They haven't been anywhere near it all year.
It is a smoke screen that they are as close as they are.
Drudge has a great timeline uh on his page today about all of these deadlines, what was said at these deadlines.
I'll print that out and have it for you after the break.
Now, here from the weekly standard.com by John McCormick, Stupak, there is no deal, and I won't agree to a promise to fix the bill in the future.
There is no deal, and I won't now, Stupak said that White House officials are trying to get FaceTime with members to convince them to vote for a bill that nobody has seen in writing.
So they are working on something other than the Senate bill because they know that's the non starter in the House.
So they're working on something out there, but nobody's seen it.
And Stupak's saying, I'm gonna see it first, I'm not gonna accept your promises.
Now, Bart's still a Democrat.
And Democrats are Democrats first at the end of the day.
The point I was trying to make by relaying the opera story, Stupak said, is that a White House pulling out all the stuff, trying to get members to commit to voting for health care.
Um, but I continue to say to them, put forth your proposal in writing so that members can see it.
No member is so weak on this issue that just because they got to go to the opera, they're gonna vote for health care.
Stupak emphasizes coalition of pro-life Democrats is sticking together.
My numbers remain firm.
We're at twelve, and these are twelve who voted for it in November who will not vote for it unless we resolve the issue.
Now there's this big trick.
There is a huge trick that is being planned in the Senate regarding abortion to try to satisfy Stupak and his guys.
And I have to say, I have to say the Republicans have have discovered the trick and they're not going to fall for it.
The trick, and I'll explain this in greater detail when we come back, but the trick was to get Republicans to go along with stripping any federal funding for abortion in the Senate bill during reconciliation.
And the Republicans, it was fear would go for that because oh, Republicans, oh, pro-lifers out there vote for Republicans.
And the Republicans say, hey, hey, hey, hey, we're not going to carry your water.
You, this is your bill.
If you want to strip abortion funding out, you're on your own.
We ain't doing it for you.
Now that's gutsy because they're running the risk.
A lot of a lot of pro-life groups are going to see the Republicans refusing to strip federal funding from the Senate building, and whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute here.
I thought you Republicans are pro-life.
Well, this is gonna be a an interesting test because the the genuine pro-life groups out there are gonna understand what's going on.
The objective is to defeat health care, not come up with a health care bill that does not have federal funding for abortions.
The objective is to wipe this out.
The objective is to stop it, not to end up with a bill that Democrats will sign and give to Obama.
And the only way to do that is to not help them strip the abortion funding out of the Senate bill.
The Republicans are not gonna do that.
They're not gonna carry.
Am I making myself clear on this turn?
Do you understand?
Okay.
I understand I'm gonna have to say it two or three times.
I'm willing to say it two or three times, because this is gonna be one of those times where the Republicans in the Senate are going to go against their uh core belief.
Because the they're gonna look like they are, but the but the but the real because everybody knows, the the real pro-life groups know that at the end of the day there's going to be federal funding for abortion if this thing passes.
It's gonna get added at some point down the line.
The objective is to make sure this thing doesn't go any further than where it is right now.
And the Republicans are not going to help the Democrats satisfy Stuck.
It's just that simple.
At least that's what they're saying now.
L Rushbow serving humanity while having more Fun than a human being should be allowed to have right here on the excellence in broadcasting network.
Let me let me try to explain this again here, because I knew it may, if you're hearing this for the first time, it may sound uh a little convoluted.
One of the great, great talents I have is making the complex understandable.
So let's let's start at the beginning.
Bart Stupak, Democrat Michigan, House of Representatives, is pro-life.
The only thing Stupak objects to in all of this Obamacare garbage is the fact that abortions are federally funded in the Senate bill.
Stupak says he has 12 votes to vote against Obamacare, the Senate bill, unless the federal funding for abortion is taken out of it.
Now the Democrats in the Senate don't want abortion taken out of it.
They put it in there because they like it.
And most of the Democrats in the House want federal funding for abortions.
And if this passes in any way, shape, manner, or form, no matter what they do, there will be eventually and ultimately federal funding for abortions, taxpayer-funded abortions in Obamacare.
So if there is reconciliation, remember Stupak is saying that he hasn't seen a bill, meaning they're making promises to him that the abortion funding will be stripped out of it, but he hasn't seen it in writing.
And the reason he hasn't is because reconciliation hasn't begun.
And there's still a genuine question as to whether or not there will ever be reconciliation.
The argument is they're trying to convince Stupak they're going to make him happy, but they're not showing him in anything in writing.
And he's demanding it in writing.
So if we get to reconciliation, the Senate Republicans have announced a strategy to block any effort the Democrats make to take abortion funding out of it.
And this is going to incur the wrath of some pro-life groups who are not, if they're not up to speed on this, and I I hope the Senate Republican leadership takes some steps behind the scenes to explain what's going on here.
But they are not, see, the the objective here is not, and for those of you pro-lifers, uh understand something.
The overall objective here is to kill the bill, not get a bill passed, but that strips funding for abortion.
This bill is a disaster, even if they strip federal funding for abortion out of it.
So the objective here is to kill it.
The objective is to send this bill pack and yet again, never ever be heard from again.
Now, the only way that Stuck, as far as what he's saying, can be uh mollified, is if he sees something in writing in the reconciliation package that says, yep, federal funding for abortion is coming out of there.
So if we go to reconciliation, there will be an effort by the Democrats to strip abortion from abortion funding from the bill.
And the Republicans strategy is to oppose and stop any such effort.
And the the reason for this, the the what the Republicans are going to do is is it to facilitate this in reconciliation.
So remember this is budget reconciliation.
And so they'll raise a point of order.
And this is a procedural effort that is objecting is essentially to the reconciliation process.
And they're trying to get back to 60 votes to defeat this thing when the Democrats don't have 60 votes, unless some Republicans join them in stripping federal fundings.
The Republicans stay, we're not going to join the Democrats' efforts because we are not going to do the Democrats' dirty work for them.
We're not going to be the guys just because we're thought to be pro-lifers.
We're not going to be the guys to make it happy, make Stupak happy.
We're not going to be the guys that take language he doesn't like out of this bill.
If the Democrats want to take it out, they got to find a way to do it on their own without us.
And we're going to invoke a point of order which is going to require them to get 60 votes to do it.
Now, holy hell is going to be raised if if we get to this point.
I'm again, I'm still not convinced we're going to get to reconciliation.
I think I think look at folks, if Obama, it's a very simple thing, you Democrats in the Congress got to ask yourself something.
If a president of the United States would ambush a Supreme Court sitting in front of him at a State of the Union speech, if a president of the United States would ambush Supreme Court justices, do you think he would have the slightest compunction in ambushing you, either in front of you or behind your back?
If this guy is willing to diss the U.S. Supreme Court and the justices who showed up in the State of the Union, don't think you're sacred.
So the whole point here is to defeat the bill and to make sure if it goes to reconciliation, I still, you know, If this far, I'll be stunned.
But if it does, this is the strategy.
Democrats are going to have to find a way to take abortion funding and let them make their base mad and let them make Stuck happy.
The Republicans are not going to carry the water for the Democrats makes Stupak happy.
That's that's a big test if we do get to this reconciliation biz.
I got an email here from a very angry and troubled subscriber at Rushlimbaugh.com named Aaron Rodriguez.
That's R-O-D-R-I-G-U-E-Z, for those of you spelling these names at home, Aaron Rodriguez, in all caps in the subject line still not fixed, with four exclamation points.
Rush, your so-called webmaster, still hasn't fixed a media player to open on a separate window.
How can we increase our knowledge and listen to you at the same time if we can only have one window used?
You said they'd have it fixed by Wednesday.
Heads need to roll.
Signed Aaron, Olive Branch, Mississippi.
Look, folks, I can't do everything myself.
I got rid of the blinking red dot today, and not one note of thanks.
Not one note of appreciation.
Not one note.
Thank you, Russ.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for getting rid of the blinking red dot.
It's gone.
We're nobody has said where's the red dot.
Well, I haven't checked enough to see if anybody's asked where the red dot is.
But we're working on the Papa.
Told you people this is beta.
We do our testing live, which is what a beta is.
It's gonna get fixed.
They're working on it even as we speak.
By the way, I need a factual error correction.
I said 4,000 people a year die, 4,000 people a day die for lack of health insurance, uh, quoting Obama.
It's 4,500 a year die.
It's a Harvard number used by Obama, which adds up to 124 people every day dying, ostensibly, because they don't have because they don't have uh health insurance.
So here's this here's the timeline on Drudge.
Oh, speaking of drudge, I meant to mention this yesterday, and it we were loaded and I didn't get to it.
Did you see this?
That the Senate has sent out emails to all of its staff, aides, senators, everybody working there not to use the Drudge Report.
Don't go there because all kinds of viruses are coming on their computers from the Drudge Report.
Which of course is BS, there are no viruses whatsoever.
These people are so stupid.
That's like saying, don't think pink.
What are you thinking right now?
Don't go to Drudge.
Oh my God, what's on drugs?
Let's go there and see.
Uh, they don't want what's on drudge to be seen because it's why F. Chuck Todd is all mad at Drudge.
What a whimpering, snivelling little whiner.
Chuck Todd of NBC News standing in front of the White House the other day, bemoaning what's happened to journalism just because it's on Drudge doesn't mean it's a story.
These guys are so ticked off.
They used to have a monopoly, and one of the biggest sources of their power was determining what you did not see.
What news you did not know, what things that were happening you were not told.
And so there's an alternative media out there, and I take a look at what's happening to these guys.
The network that F. Chuck Todd works for, well, the cable channel, nobody watches it.
CBS, NBC, ABC, New York Times, take a look at what's happening.
Downsizing, layoffs, ad revenue down pages printed down, uh, all of this stuff, and it's all content related.
It's content content content.
And so they're trying to put a genie back in the bottle and whining and sniveling about it.
How unbecoming a member of the state control media to complain about a guy with a web page on the internet.
Just because it's on drudge doesn't mean it's a story.
See, that's that's the crux of it.
They don't have the power to shape and if these guys, you know, you guys, you people continue to uh some of you whine and moan about the media.
If the media landscape were as it was in 1988 and prior, do you realize health care would have passed last August?
And most of you would have loved it?
Because all that you would have heard about it was what the people like F. Chuck Todd and all these others in the mainstream media are saying.
And it would have passed because they love Obama.
It was great for the country.
Had there not been an alternative media, had there not been the opportunity for the alternative media to survive, thrive, and save democracy, and our representative republic, this thing would have passed last August.
And that's what they're ticked off about.
They don't have the power to get these kind of things done.
They can't get the Obama agenda done with 60 seats in the Senate and a vast majority in the House, they can't get it done.
And a state-controlled media.
I'd be mad if I were them too.
Michael Barone.
Well, let's stick with Drudge here in this timeline.
His uh his question is end of the end game or the end.
Today, AP headline, Obama pushing on health care end game.
Last year, July 28th, health care end game on Capitol Hill, Reuters.
August 21st, analysis, health care end game near but uncertain, A.P. October 14th, Senate administration begin health care end game as Dem leaders express unity.
The Hill dot com.
October 25th, Senators say healthcare bill end game is in sight.
Politico.
October 27th, end game.
So when will health care really happen?
TPM Talking Points Memo.
October 30th, last year, health reform inches closer to end game.
Washington Post.
November 23rd, the health care end game, NPR.
So since last July 28th, we have been talking about the health care end game, and here Obama is today, pushing the health care end game.
So once we get once again, we have a template, we have a storyline that they're simply trying to move forward with no reporting, no analysis, no nothing, just the horse race or political aspects of this.
Michael Baron, however, writing of this failure today in the Washington Examiner, senior political analysts, Democrats are stuck with a mess of their own making.
Basically, there's a fork in the road out there for the Democrats.
Both sides lead to failure.
Both roads lead to failure.
And here's the pull quote from Baron's piece.
It's beginning to look like the goal of health care legislation was a bridge too far.
There's a reason it's hard to pass unpopular legislation on party line votes.
It's not the Senate rules.
It's called democracy.
A lively debate going on in the blogosphere and in the media about whether Democrats would be better off passing or not passing a health care bill.
Some liberals claim that Democrats would be better off passing a bill, any bill, even if it's unpopular.
The idea is to energize a Democrat base currently demoralized by the prospects of failure.
Current polls, a year-long failure, I might add.
Current polls show that Democrats far less enthusiastic and far less likely to vote, passing a law might change that.
Others, mostly conservatives, but some liberals, speaking privately, figure that Democrats would be better off letting the issue drop.
Back in January, Barack Obama said he would emphasize jobs, jobs, jobs.
Currently a higher priority for voters than health care.
By November, these people hope that voters will have forgotten about health care and may be impressed by Democrat economic policies.
They can't pot Democrat economic policies are destructive.
Mr. Barone, there's no way anybody's going to be what?
Impressed with Democrats.
We're watching Democrat economic policies.
It's called destruction of the private sector.
It's called massive debt.
And nobody's ever going to be able to pay back.
It's called deficits, called this, it's called, it's called redistribution of wealth.
It's called destroying the U.S. middle class.
That's Democrat economic policies.
Barone says, I'm inclined to think both sides are wrong.
They both assume that there exists some optimum course that'll produce happy results, but sometimes in politics, sometimes there's no course that leads to success.
Disaster lies ahead, whatever you do.
And that gets to the fork in the road analogy where failure awaits at the end of whatever road that you take.
It's beginning to look like the goal of health care legislation was a bridge too far.
There's a reason.
It's hard to pass unpopular legislation on party line votes.
It's not the Senate rules.
It's called democracy in the Wall Street Journal today.
Scott Rass Mulson and Doug Schoen.
Doug Shon, a former Clinton polst, he's on TV all the time.
In fact, he's on he's on Fox all the time.
I'm surprised they haven't drummed him out of the Democrat Party.
But Doug Schoen's over there all the time.
He's Democrat polster writing with Rasmussen here, why Obama can't move the health care numbers.
And basically what their story says is that for every idiot that is for the Obama plan, there are two informed people against it.
One of the more amazing aspects of the health care debate is how steady public opinion has remained, despite repeated and intense SATALES efforts by the president and his allies, dwindling in number, I might add.
Most Americans consistently oppose the plan that has become the centerpiece.
In 15 consecutive Rasmussen report polls conducted over the past four months, the percentage of Americans that oppose the plan has stayed between 52 and 58 percent, the number in favor steady between 38 and 44 percent.
For every person who strongly favors it, which is the idiot, two are strongly opposed, though they are the informed.
So all kinds of reasons to be happy with the news today, folks.
All kinds of reasons.
The informed outnumber the idiots.
The new media is now, and and you preventing F. Chuck Todd and his cronies in the mainstream media from being able to monopolize this and get past for Obama whatever they want.
Then the question, well, why why why can't the president move the numbers?
One reason may be that he keeps talking about details while voters are looking at the issue in a broader context.
But the bigger problem is that people simply don't trust official government projections.
Hallelujah!
My gosh, folks, is this is actually true, big progress.
People in Washington today may live and die by the pronouncements of the Congressional Budget Office, but 81% of voters say it's likely the plan will end up costing more than projected.
Only 10% say the official numbers are likely to be on target.
Do you realize how breathtakingly profound this is?
It means that there is an informed public here being polled that understands that no government program ever costs less than what it says.
It always costs more, and it never delivers what it promises.
Uh no, I don't think not going to say this is a permanent realization, but on this instance it is.
The reason Obama can't move the numbers and build public support is because the fundamentals are stacked against him.
Most voters believe the current plan will harm the economy, cost more than projected.
Remember, a Democrat pollster helped write this piece.
Most voters believe a current plan will harm the economy, cost more than projected, raise the cost of care, and lead to higher middle class taxes.
That's a tough sell when the economy is hurting and people want to reform to lower the cost of care.
It's also a tough sell for a president who won an election by promising tax cuts for 95% of all Americans.
So we're left to what we always have known exists.
Obama is running against the will of the American people.
He and Axelrod and uh idiot Gibbs and who else up there, Rom.
Uh fluff, pluff, whatever.
These uh they're they're they're isolated now.
They're like those polar bears, you know, on a on a on a melting glacier that's broken off, and they're they're just floating further and further away from safety.
The problem is they can't swim 60 miles like polar bears can.
As you know, ladies and gentlemen, uh, our our new young man child president is in St. Charles, Missouri today, outside St. Louis, at a closed rally for health care.
The public not invited.
And I'm sure that was the case in Glenside, Pennsylvania on Monday.
The public not invited, that's why it looked like a campaign appearance.
Only Obama supporters, primarily paid union people, uh, got in there.
So there's an anti-Obamacare rally in St. Charles today at the St. Charles Convention Center.
I got some pictures of it here.
It is huge.
They were expecting a crowd of 600 people.
And earlier, 1,800 had showed up, now 2,225 people have showed up at the anti-Obamacare rally in St. Charles.
It's now standing room only.
I, you know, the it's I I don't know how close this venue is to where Obama's venue is, but the Tea Party people in St. Charles, St. Louis are planning another one for tonight somewhere.
I mean, it's just it's it's overwhelming.
Uh, and and the Lieutenant Governor of Missouri Peter Kinder, a family amigo from Cape Girardo is there with uh a lot of bloggers uh and so forth.
So it's clear that uh the the groundswell against this is building, it is growing.
The more Obama speaks about this, the more he drives and energizes opposition to it.
It's it's just it's just a beautiful thing.
John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States.
And that is, by the way, the correct way to refer to the Chief Justice, not Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, it's Chief Justice of the United States.
And Justice Roberts was at the University of Alabama School of Law, spoke, and during the QA, the following question was asked Is the State of the Union a proper forum to criticize the Supreme Court?
The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering, while the court, according to the requirements of protocol, has to sit there uh expressionless.
I think is very troubled.
It is very troubling, and it shows a profound disrespect for the separation of powers.
It shows the thug acracy style of Obama, and what the Chief Justice is referring to here, uh uh one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the court, cheering and hollering.
This is when Obama ripped the court for a decision in a lead, if you were watching mouth, no, you're wrong, or no, that's not right, that's not true, whatever.
All these Democrats are standing up and shouting uh like peasants with pitchforks, ready to storm the gates and maul these guys.
And I I would I would not be surprised if next year not one member of the Supreme Court shows up for the next State of the Union.
And you House Democrats, you you Bart Stupacks out there, you blue dogs, you yellow dogs, you lapdogs.
You Chihuahuas, if proud if if President Obama would ambush Supreme Court justices at the State of the Union in their faces, what do you think he would do to you?
You know, I'm really glad that this speech is back in the news.
I'm glad the Chief Justice said this.
The reason that I will never bet against America and make Obama the odds-on favorite to destroy this country with health care, is I would like to believe Obama isn't a clever enough thug.
Now I could be wrong about that, but it's ham-handed stuff like what he did to the Supreme Court during the State of the Union speech that gives me hope that Obama will ultimately blow his his monument grab.
And what's next to fall?
His, you know, he still has pretty high likability.
But I'm gonna I I I have a prediction.
I have a prediction.
I don't know when, I will not, I will not predict when, but at there at some point, ladies and gentlemen, there is going to be a frustration that overwhelms our young president.
And he's gonna make a mistake during an occasion when there is no prompter.
And he is going to let fly his anger and his intent.
I don't care what you do, I don't care what you think.
We're gonna change this country.
This country is immoral, this country isn't unjust, this country is been under unfair to people, we're gonna change it.
At some point, the level of frustration at not being able to get this through by lying, cheating, conniving, and so forth, is gonna lead to a moment.
This is incident of really ripping into the Supreme Court, State of the Union, is a small indicator of what's possible on this score.
So you mark my words.
Barack Obama is going to be the final nail in his own political coffin.
He is going to hammer it one of these days.
This is March 10th, 2010, at about 1255 P.M. That's when I make the prediction Obama at one point is going to lose composure, and somehow, somehow, is going to admit himself what he's really doing and why.
And at that point, the likability numbers will start joining the popularity numbers, approval numbers of his policies.
Back after this.
Okay, so Obama's closed crowd at St. Charles Haskiral is 400 people.
Invited guests only, public not allowed.
At the St. Charles Convention Center, 2200 people are at Obama goes in about well, close to 5 o'clock Eastern time, 3:50 in St. Louis.
The anti-Obama rally, 2200 people at the St. Charles Convention.
They're already there.
They're already there.
Quite a stark contrast.
