Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yeah, I had it.
I had it yesterday in the audio soundbite roster, and I am so ticked off that I didn't see it.
I am so ticked off that I missed it.
Now the whole thing's gone viral.
I had it yesterday.
Of course, it doesn't really make news until I do it anyway, even if I am late to it, but it still makes me mad.
And I had the Chris Christie video, I had it in a stack yesterday.
And I, yeah, what the hell?
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
And when we go to the phones on Friday, we lift the regulations and restrictions that are placed on all callers.
And never forget, the primary purpose of all callers is to make the host look good.
But don't let that confuse you.
That's not my praise, idolatry, devotion, or any of that.
So, whatever you want to talk about on Friday, fair game, telephone number again, 800-282-2882.
I have no excuse for it.
I just, I had not heard that the video existed, and the way it was slugged, did it, it's my fault.
It's my fault.
So, anyway, we've got it now.
If you haven't, if you, if you, well, it's embarrassing.
This is Broadcast Exit, Cutting Edge Societal Evolution.
And I missed it.
I had it and I missed it.
It's a conflict.
Everything crashes here at 12 noon between 12 noon and 12.05.
That's what everything.
It's like it's a reverse vacuum cleaner.
Everything just spits out right on my.
And sometimes it's tough to sort it all through.
So anyway, here it is.
If you haven't heard this or seen it, it has gone viral.
And the reason it has gone viral is because conservatives across this country have been starving for genuine elected leadership.
And we've had all of these advisors, I'm not going to mention any names, all of these advisors who say Republicans need to be more moderate in their tone.
Republicans need to moderate their tone.
Because we can't appear to be critical of Obama.
We've got to moderate our tone to make sure that we don't fulfill this false impression that's been made of us that we are extremist kooks and so forth.
So Governor Christie was doing a press conference and he nails, he destroys a reporter here.
He is one of the few leaders in America who is willing to follow the will of the people.
And the state-controlled media doesn't get it.
I mean, he's playing, look at, yeah, my poll numbers are going to go down.
All of our poll numbers are going to go down.
Mine are going down.
But I don't care.
The alternative is worse.
He's got to fix the state.
So he got a question.
The Newark Star Ledger columnist Tom Moran said, Governor, do you think the sort of confrontational tone you're taking will increase your odds of getting this through the life of Flither?
That's the voice of the new Castrovi.
Do you think this sort of confrontational tone, Governor, that you're taking will increase your odds of getting this through the legislature?
You must be the thinnest skinned guy in America because you think that's a confrontational tone.
You should really see me when I'm pissed.
I love what people say they don't want to have argument.
That's what we were sent here for.
Here it is.
Bigger government, higher taxes, more spending.
I believe in less government, lower taxes, and in empowering local officials who are elected by their citizens to be able to fix their problems.
Now, I could say it really nicely.
I could say it in the way that you all might be more comfortable with.
Maybe we could go back to the last administration where I could say the way you wouldn't even understand it.
Okay?
I could even go back and say it in a way you wouldn't even understand it.
He wasn't finished.
This is who I am.
Like it or not, you guys are stuck with me for four years.
And I'm going to say things directly when you ask me questions.
I'm going to answer them directly, straightly, bluntly.
And nobody in New Jersey is going to have to wonder where I am on an issue.
And I think they've had enough of politicians who make them wonder.
I came here to govern, not to worry about reelection.
I came here to do what people sent me here to do.
And so blunt, direct, maybe you might say honest and refreshing.
Maybe we could see that in your paper tomorrow.
A fat chance.
Again, the reporter's question was, Governor, do you think the sort of confrontational tone you're taking will increase your odds of getting this through the legender?
Which is a typical pap formulaic question from the media to a Republican confrontational tone.
So Christie just handed him his lunch.
As I say, this video has gone.
And when you watch the video, there is a guy in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, one of Christie's staff just laughing himself silly silently because everybody's happy to hear this.
And again, it is because there are just people on our side of the aisle are hunger, hungry for elected conservative leadership, not wishy-washy Republican leadership.
Snirdly attempting to suck up to the host shouting at me at the IFB saying, finally, we have an elected official acting like me.
Chris Christie is who he is.
I've never spoken to him.
He's an independent guy, but he is right on.
He was elected to do what he's doing, what he's elected to do, and he's not to tell people who he is.
He's not going to have any doubt about it.
And there's a teachable moment here for every Republican who is running for office, every Republican who is in office and wants to hold it.
Chris Christie is your model.
Not only is he talking the game, he's getting it done.
He's actually going to pare down the button.
He's taken on all of these liberal special interests.
He's taking them on without any fear of reelection.
He doesn't care.
He loves the state.
The state can't.
Illinois is bankrupt, folks.
Illinois cannot pay its bills.
Illinois is not paying its bills.
They are bankrupt.
And who came from that state?
Stock market is, what is it now?
Folks, we've got a bad situation potentially here.
You remember Black Wedding's Day in 1992?
That's, let's see, what are we here?
Down 214.
You know, if we end up, if we end the day here down 300 or 400 points, they can't blame old Fatfinger.
They still haven't found Fatfinger.
Who was Fatfinger?
The Euro starting to level off, but it plunged today.
So exactly I told you, we got a day and a half rally out of this so-called bailout on Monday.
So here's Obama urging Merkel and then urging Spain to go ahead and participate in this bailout.
A trillion dollars.
Now what do we do?
What's left to do?
The only thing left to do is structural change.
and there's no structural change taking place.
Yet Sarkozy in France is threatening to get out of the European Union now.
Is it threatening to leave it?
Oh, by the way, by the way, here's Obama now walking to the steps of the Rose Garden.
I saw a story last night that he is livid.
He is just ticked as hell at British Petroleum for not stopping the oil leak.
And he's going to express his anger, I am told, in this presser.
We're not going to jip it.
We're not going to, well, we're rolling on it.
And if that's indeed what he does, we will.
Here's the play for you whatever is relevant.
Here's the thing about this.
This is exactly what he wants.
This is a great day for Obama.
The market's down 200 plus.
The Euro is falling.
More chaos, more tumult.
Obama can look over all of this.
And what they're doing is blaming capitalism.
Capitalism is responsible for where we in the United States are.
That's what they're saying.
That's what we're going to get away with saying.
George W. Bush, British Petroleum.
Look what capitalism does.
It destroys while Obama is in the process of destroying.
Europe is socialist.
That's what you focus on.
But he loves this opportunity.
The government has not helped at all with this spill.
So they get to sit around his bystanders and spectators.
And now, raise holy hell.
That's what he's doing here with British Petroleum for not doing anything faster about the leak.
Remember the Apollo 13?
You've seen the movie about the Apollo capsule that lost all of its power on the way back from the moon.
A massive effort was made from all sectors.
Everybody who had anything to do with manufacturing the capsule.
NASA, I mean, private sector people, government sector people pooled all of their resources to come up with a plan to save the astronauts and get them back.
And they did.
That's the kind of thing that needs to be happening here with this oil spill.
And it's not.
The government's sitting by, sending people down there, SWAT teams, taking notes, waiting for time to go by, putting out news that the spill is even larger than we thought.
The original figures are larger than we thought.
And so now it's time to really dump.
And instead of partnering up and instead of trying to fix this, this is another instance where the Obama regime is taking the advantage of a crisis to advance their agenda.
Okay, so here's the private sector unable to clean up or unwilling.
That's what he's going to say, unwilling because they don't care about the environment and they don't care about all this oil that they're losing.
They don't care about all the profits that they're losing because all the oil they're losing.
No, no, no.
He's going to use this as an opportunity to say, see, I need more power to keep this stuff from happening.
I need more power.
Government needs to be bigger to make sure this stuff doesn't happen.
We can't rely on the private sector.
I told you last week, they won't do the good things in the world.
They don't do things because they have hearts.
Government has to have the power to do those kinds of things.
I'm guessing that that will be one of his themes today in the remarks he's making at the moment.
But before we go to the break, I feel vindicated.
Do you remember early on in this spill, I was misquoted in saying, don't do anything.
It'll clean itself up.
I never said don't do anything.
It was me and Gene Taylor, the Democrat congressman from Mississippi, who flew over.
See will take care of it.
It's going to break up.
And the powers that be and the leftists, oh, this is horrible.
These people don't understand how bad this is going to destroy everything.
Beaches, birds, dolphins, sharks, whatever, shrimp.
It's going to kill everything.
The worst disaster we've ever had.
Even worse than Exxon Valdez blow up now.
I was thinking, you know, this amount of oil seeps into the Gulf every day.
Not in one big concentrated dose like it's doing here, but, and where does it go?
The ocean eats it up.
Headline, Associated Press.
Where's the oil?
Much of it may be gone.
For a leak that has spilled millions of gallons, the oil from a deepwater horizon disaster is pretty hard to pin down.
Satellite images show most of an estimated 4.6 million gallons of oil has pooled in a floating shape-shifting blob off the Louisiana coast.
Some has reached shore as a thin sheen and gooey bits have washed up as far away as Alabama.
But the spill is 23 days old and the thickest stuff hasn't shown up.
So where is it?
I mean, where is it going to end up?
Government scientists and others tracking the spill say much of the oil is lurking just below the surface, but there seems to be no consensus.
Oh, here we go.
Consensus and science.
What is that?
I did not appreciate spectacle during the hearings.
What's he talking about?
He is ticked off about something.
What are their tools?
A program the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration uses to predict how oil spills on the surface of water may behave suggests that more than a third of the oil may already be out of the water.
Did you hear that?
About 35% of a spill the size of the one in the Gulf, consisting of the same light Louisiana crude released in weather conditions and water temperatures similar to those found in the Gulf, now would simply evaporate according to data the Associated Press entered into the program.
They're looking.
Remember now, the spill happens or leak and everybody goes into crisis mode, panic mode.
It's the end of the world.
Oh my God, it's horrible.
You remember it all?
It's so bad, eighth graders from St. Louis are on a field trip down there looking for it, looking for all the distraction and the destruction.
And a third of it may just have evaporated, as in nature is taking care of this.
One of the biggest tools that our government and media uses to shape public opinion and to create an obedient populace is crisis.
Anytime there is a chance for crisis, they love it.
They eat it up.
They make it worse and they expand upon it even worse than it is.
All right, a quick time out here, folks.
I'm going to get myself up to speed on what the hell Obama's doing here and report when we get back.
Don't go away.
Well, apparently Obama did not come out and blame BP and get all angry and so forth.
That was misled by speculation from ABC's The Note this morning, which suggested or some, no, maybe it wasn't a note, some, no.
It was Mark Ambinder at the Atlantic on his blog suggested that he was really ticked off.
Oh, he did get mad.
I'm assuming he totally did get mad.
Well, we'll get it.
We'll have the audio soundbites coming up of this, but apparently, he said they're doing everything they can and then segued into introducing these new federal regulations over oil drilling.
said he didn't appreciate the spectacle of the oil companies and haliburton pointing fingers at each other.
So we'll wait till we get the audio sound bites of this.
I'm giving some conflicting reviews about Obama.
But here's something to keep in mind about this.
When the evidence doesn't match up with the crisis projections, remember scientific premise, consensus, in fact, global warming is and will continue to happen.
But there's a whole bunch of heat missing.
Remember that story a couple weeks ago?
Scientists look for missing heat.
The heat is hiding from the scientists.
They can't find it.
The premise, the premise, global warming.
No, no, no, the premise can't be incorrect.
We have to study things to make the premise look like it's sound.
So there's global warming out there.
We know it.
But we can't find the heat.
Scientific premise.
Worst oil disaster ever.
Beaches fouled for generations.
But one-third of the oil is gone.
And the damage isn't nearly as it was billed to be.
It's not that the premise was wrong.
No, no, no.
We have to find out what's screwing up our conclusion.
We have to, where's that oil?
We knew it was going to be the worst oil spill in the history of oil spills.
We're missing one-third of the oil.
Where's the oil?
It may have evaporated.
How do we get it back?
The premise must survive above all else.
Audio soundbites.
If this doesn't say it all, if somebody doesn't stand up and say, Mr. Holder, it's time you resigned.
You're not qualified for this job of Attorney General.
Yesterday afternoon, there was a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Department of Justice oversight.
Eric Holder testified, Ted Pohl, Republican from Texas, have you read the Arizona immigration law?
I have not had a chance to.
I've glanced at it.
I've not read it.
It's 10 pages.
It's a lot shorter than the health care bill, which was 2,000 pages long.
I'll give you my copy of it if you would like to have a copy.
Even though you haven't read the law, do you have an opinion as to whether it's constitutional?
I have not really, I've not been briefed yet.
We, as I said, have had underway a review of the law.
I have not been briefed by the people who have been responsible who are responsible for that review.
Are you going to read the law?
I'm sure I will read the law in anticipation of that briefing.
I know that they will put that in front of me and I'll spend a good evening reading that law.
So he hasn't read it.
He's sure he will read it.
Now, my good buddy Andy McCarthy said, isn't Holder guilty of profiling men?
He hasn't read the law, and yet he's out there making judgments about, he's the attorney general for crying out.
It's a 10-page law.
I'm waiting to be briefed on it.
And yet he's out there ripping the law to shreds.
Proving what this is that the Department of Justice has been purely politicized, much has every other cabinet post and czar ship in the country with this regime has been politicized.
There's more from Holder.
Lots more when we come back after this brief timeout.
All right, we got the Obama sound bites.
We're going to interrupt our Holder show and go back to Obama.
But first on this oil spill, Merv Fingus, and this is from the AP story.
They can't find the oil.
They can't find one third of it.
Where did it go?
Worst disaster ever.
Beaches ruined forever.
Can't wait for this.
Can't wait.
Can't wait.
We've got our cameras on the beach.
We want to see dead birds.
We want to see birds covered in oil.
We want to see shrimp covered in oil.
We want to see crying fishermen.
We want to see utter disaster.
And we want to blame it on capitalism.
We're going to blame it on big oil.
But One-third of the oil is missing.
We've got to find it.
Where did it go?
And if it evaporated, it's in the air and we're breathing it.
We're going to die.
Oh, no.
Oil is going to kill us no matter where it is.
This is the leftist reaction.
Merv Fingus is a great name for somebody who studies oil spills.
Merv Fingus studied oil spills for 35 years, has worked for Environment Canada, which is their environmental agency, predicted a bit of both.
She said some of this oil is going to wash up.
Some of it's going to stick to sediment and mud and sink slowly to the bottom.
Much of it likely settling near the spewing well.
That's the fate of a lot of oil spills, sedimentation on the bottom.
And see, people think that oil and water don't mix.
Oil will float.
But if it gets mixed in with sediment down there on the seafloor, bam, it's going to wade down and come back down.
So some of it's evaporating, some of it's not getting to the surface.
And a disaster so desired by the left and by the media is taking a little time here to evolve.
A little bit too much time.
I'm not, folks, no, no, no, I'm not exaggerating.
They want this disaster.
Everything is a political opportunity to advance the regime's agenda.
Remember the hurricane season after Hurricane Katrina?
Hurricane season begins June 1st.
Where were the drive-bys?
They were in New Orleans with their cameras trained on the horizon, waiting to see if Katrina No. 2 was on the way on the first day.
And they've had their cameras to Florida and were looking at the same thing.
Is there a hurricane out there?
Of course, there wasn't, but they went to their weather people for disaster weather forecasts.
What could happen in this upcoming hurricane?
So they're anticipatory of these disasters.
Part of its ratings, people watch.
They also just love the fact that they get a chance to blame their enemies for all of this.
So here's Obama.
And I guess he was angry.
I was getting conflicting information as to who.
I guess Mark Ambinder, I owe you an apology because he did predict and say that Obama was going to be angry.
Here he is, first of what, five soundbites here.
Let me tell you, it is an anger and frustration that I share as president.
And I'm not going to rest or be satisfied until the leak is stopped at the source, the oil in the Gulf is contained and cleaned up, and the people of the Gulf are able to go back to their lives and their livelihoods.
Now he rips the oil companies involved.
I know BP is committed to pay for the response effort, and we will hold them to their obligation.
I have to say, though, I did not appreciate what I considered to be a ridiculous spectacle during the congressional hearings into this matter.
You had executives of BP and Transocean and Halliburton falling over each other to point the finger of blame at somebody else.
Like you do.
American people could not have been impressed with that display, and I certainly wasn't.
Well, how about you, sir?
You still haven't stopped blaming George W. Bush, and your network, MSNBC, is blaming Cheney.
MSNBC wants Cheney brought into court to testify about this because he once ran Halliburton.
Where are the congressional hearings on the regime's response to the oil spill?
Yeah, we're going to have congressional hearings on Halliburton and BP and Transocean, but where are the congressional hearings on what the regime is doing?
We still don't know what Obama's done.
We don't know what he's going to do.
We don't know what he is doing other than making speeches telling everybody how ticked off he is about this.
Here's the next soundbite.
There's enough responsibility to go around, and all parties should be willing to accept it.
That includes, by the way, the federal government.
For too long, for a decade or more, there's been a cozy relationship between the oil companies and the federal agency that permits them to drill.
Seems as if permits were too often issued based on little more than assurances of safety from the oil companies.
That cannot and will not happen anymore.
Or an old phrase, we will trust, but we will verify.
Oh!
So I was right.
My instincts are right on.
I'm sorry.
I apologize for being wrong, folks.
For too long, there's been a cozy relationship between the oil companies and the federal agency that permits them to drill.
And these new regulations are simply going to give that agency more power.
So everything I say, you know, I should never doubt myself.
Never doubt myself when I'm analyzing liberals.
I didn't even hear what he was saying.
I couldn't take the time to read the closed captioning, and I knew what he was going to do.
I knew what he was saying.
And he did say it.
Here's the last soundbite we have of it.
This is a responsibility that all of us share.
The oil companies share it.
The manufacturers of this equipment share it.
The agencies and the federal government in charge of oversight share that responsibility.
I will not tolerate more finger pointing or irresponsibility.
I will not tolerate.
I will not tolerate.
You have a cool, detached anger here.
How can he guarantee that this isn't going to happen again unless he bans all offshore drilling?
The oil execs were asked by Congress, who's to blame, by the way.
So, yeah, there was finger pointing, but they were asked for their expert opinions.
And if the oil execs hadn't answered, they'd have been held in contempt.
So they really had no way to go.
Chris Christie again, last Monday, proposing an amendment to cap New Jersey property taxes.
Here, listen to this.
I have instructed my chief counsel, Jeff Chiesa, to deliver to Senator Sweeney and Senator Kane, Speaker Oliver and Minority Leaders Accroach, that stack of bills to finally get New Jersey on the track towards real and lasting property tax reform.
The elements of it are already well known to you, and I will just hit some of the highlights.
A constitutional amendment to be placed on the ballot this November to cap property taxes at no greater than a 2.5% increase without voter approval.
We would also ask that constitutional amendment to include a 2.5% cap on spending for state government operations.
Well, proposing an amendment to cap New Jersey property taxes at 2.5%.
Meanwhile, across the river in Philadelphia, higher property taxes.
The mayor's $3.9 billion budget means a 9.9% temporary property tax increase.
10%.
A 10% property tax increase in Philadelphia, supposedly just for two years.
And after two years, they'll get rid of it.
Want to bet?
So 2.5% max in New Jersey.
That's what he's going to propose.
He also said this.
I have instructed my chief counsel, Jeff Chiesa, to deliver to Senator Sweeney and Senator Kane, Speaker Oliver and minority leaders of Croach that stack of bills to finally get New Jersey on the track towards real and lasting property tax reform.
Governor, Chris Christie, providing a profound leadership, elected official leadership, sorely missing uh, in the Republican Party today.
Brief time out here, folks.
We'll be back and continue right after this open line friday, El Rushball and the EIB Network to your phone calls here, just a second.
Here is the second Chris Christie bite, uh, about capping property taxes in New Jersey.
We are going to be focused over the next 51 days in accomplishing real reform which will finally bring an end to increased property taxes in this state at a breakneck rate.
Take it out of the hands of the politicians, take it out of the hands of the judges and put it in the hands of the people who pay the bills.
So, a maximum 2.5 percent annual increase.
Anything more than that, the people have to approve radon.
Rad on, rad on.
Now I want to go back to Obama here for just a second, because something just struck me.
I'm not going to replay the sound bites, but he did say the government is to blame as well.
You know what he's doing.
He's positioning himself as an outsider.
Now he's not of Washington, he's going to go the outsider route.
He's going to attack everybody inside Washington and everybody outside.
So let's attack Halliburton UH, and Trans Ocean and BP and let's attack the federal government.
They didn't do their job either, so he's the guy in charge taking himself out of that role.
He's blaming an agency or a bureaucracy for being too close, too much in bed with the oil industry.
We need more regulations.
So Obama the socialist is now becoming the outsider and trashing everything.
Now if, if the federal government failed in its duties, as he just said, then I assume the fishermen along the Gulf coast will be able to sue Obama and the regime for damages, because he's just said they share the blame.
So those of you who have, uh livelihoods that might be affected by the oil spill uh, the leader of the regime has just said that his regime holds some of the blame.
You might look into suing them, as well as BP and Transocean and Halliburton, I mean.
He just he just said that the federal government is not, is not free of blame and, the way these guys look at it, government's to blame, so we need more government.
It's the same thinking.
Look uh, you know we have, we have a program.
It didn't work uh, and so we need more government to fix that program.
We did the interesting think piece on that earlier this week.
So what we had here from Obama was just full-fledged 100 phony drama, with himself extricated from it.
I will not tolerate this.
I will not tolerate that.
No, mr president, it is we who will not tolerate what you have done.
It is we who no longer wish to tolerate what you are doing and how you operate.
We don't want to tolerate your party.
We don't want to tolerate your Congress.
Your ways are the wrong ways.
Very clever of Obama.
Blame the government, but exempt himself.
Blame his agency, blame the companies involved, but take himself out of it.
He said, remember, just a month ago or so, he wanted to expand offshore drilling.
Remember that?
Wanted to expand offshore drilling.
Now he says that um, offshore drilling was allowed without proper permits.
Uh, Ping pong ball here, going back and forth.
Anything he can do to avoid taking responsibility.
And of course, those permits were awarded and granted when.
Bush.
The Bush administration.
I think it's time.
As I said, we need a seminar.
We did a seminar on stopping the oil leak, just like Obama does it.
You know, we have a one-day stop the leak seminar.
Study groups reporting back to Obama after three hours, and at the end of that one day, problem solved.
Experts have come up with a way to solve the problem.
We had a full day's discussion on it.
So here's a guy, at the end of the day, praising yesterday in Buffalo, Western New York.
Economy's going great.
Guns.
Yeah, tell that to the stock market.
Economy is going to tell it.
Stock market is down partially on a sour employment report yesterday that they were touting as great news.
But it wasn't great news.
So essentially, Obama, yesterday in Buffalo, is out there praising himself for 10% unemployment.
Yesterday, he got a story in his House organ, the New York Times, suggesting that it's quite normal, this level of unemployment.
We should expect that millions and millions of the jobs that have been lost will not be recreated.
It's a different economy now.
It's a different world.
So praises himself for 10% unemployment, a stagnant economy, gets some help from the New York Times, and is out there demanding results from everybody else.
He's demanding results from BP, demanding results from Transocean, demanding results from Halliburton, demanding results from Congress, better hearings, demanding results from his own agency.
I will not tolerate.
I will not tolerate anymore.
One more.
So this is what this is.
This is a, I think I get a sneak peek into the Obama campaign profile now through November.
Let's grab a quick phone call here before we have to go to the break.
We'll start in Greeley, Colorado.
Lana, nice to have you here.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm not normally an optimist, but are we going to learn a lot from this oil spill about technology and how oil and water ban, I mean, I know, you know, but I mean, on a large scale about what equipment works and what doesn't.
That's not taking away from the people who will be hurt by this in the fishing industry and the tourist industry.
But are we going to learn a lot?
Well, some of us will.
Others, the left is not always.
No, I mean the technical people that deal with oil and equipment and stuff.
Well, oh, naturally, you learn from everything that goes wrong.
But, you know, one thing Obama's trying to blame this on a faulty permit.
A faulty permit did not cause whatever to blow up down there to blow up.
They still don't know the cause.
They've cited it from a methane gas bubble to a piece of bad concrete.
They still don't know what caused it.
And until they can find out what caused it, it's going to be pretty difficult to actually stop this thing.
It is amazing to see.
Have you seen the pictures of this much oil coming out of that leak?
Well, I don't see, so I don't see the pictures, but I've heard him talk about it.
The other thing is, Stupak was talking last night, which I don't trust him on anything after the pro-life thing, but he was talking about something about batteries not being properly charged.
Do you know anything about that?
Well, no, but who can doubt a member of Congress?
Yeah, especially one that turns on a dime.
No, if Stupak said there was bad batteries, it had to be bad batteries.
Oh, yeah, right.
Barney Frank said it was bad batteries, it'd be bad batteries.
He would know about bad batteries.
But I just wondered if we would learn a lot about, I mean, the dome that failed.
You know, why did that fail?
And will we learn how to do it better if there is a next time?
And there will be a next time.
Yeah, we'll learn that.
Yeah, but we will.
There's no question we will.
Okay, that's what I wanted to ask.
But I want to finish my point.
The left won't.
The left is not interested in learning.
They're the most closed-minded people around.
They have a political agenda, and every event that happens is going to be fit into that agenda, whether it fits or not.
That's their purpose.
Obama.
He's not going to tolerate.
What's the last thing Obama said he wouldn't tolerate?
Pop quiz.
3, 2, 1.
It was Iran Nukes.
The last thing Obama said he wouldn't tolerate was Iran Nukes.
He says, BP is going to pay for the damage caused by the oil leaking.
What I want to know is who's going to pay for the stimulus bill?
Who is going to pay for Obama's damage to the private sector?
Who's going to pay for the utter disaster Fannie Mae Freddie Mac?
Answer us.
It ought to come out of Obama's back pocket.
