Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Way, I am so glad, so glad to be back with you, my friends.
L. Rushball.
America's real anchor man, the one and only back in the saddle, as they say, here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882.
And the email address L Rushball at EIB net.com.
Okay, so what do I start with today?
Let's go through the list of possibilities what we start with today.
The new financial bill, even worse than the health care bill, being shoved through as quickly as possible, giving the government control of 60% of the economy.
When it comes to financial services.
The oil spill, the total lack of leadership in the government, who claim to have the smartest and the best and the brightest people ever to serve in Washington, D.C., and they are clueless.
They haven't the slightest idea except Obama said plug the hole.
And of course, I thought I was listening to Clinton.
When he said plug the hole.
Just plug the hole.
Just go plug the hole.
It's easy for you to say, yeah, just go plug the hole.
You know, Obama's one of these guys.
He he all the other people in the world do the real work, and it just happens as far as he's concerned.
He doesn't know how anything actually gets done.
Says, go plug the hole, dammit.
I'm I'm I'm ticked off.
Plug the hole.
Um we have a potential impeachable offense with this Joe Sestack thing.
Was he or was he not offered a federal job in exchange for not running for the Senate in the primary against Arlen Specter?
And in this is a subset.
It appears that Ram Emanuel is being thrown under the bus.
It seems that there's a contest here between who well, not a contest.
It looks like that the new chief of staff might be Senator Turbin.
And Schumer and Turban seem to be aligned to get this done using the Sestack thing uh as the springboard because it appears they're trying to set Rahmanuel up as the fall guy on being the one who offered a gig.
I'll explain all this as the program unfolds.
We continue to find new things in the health care, not new to us.
We continue to find things in the health care bill that we all knew about, but the state-controlled media is just now finding out about, and others are just now finding out about, that are not good in terms of its effect on small business tax increases for everybody and so forth.
Then we have Elena Kagan and her total lack of any qualification to be a Supreme Court Justice, other than the fact she's a friend of Obama.
We also have the drive-by's moving into a house right next door to Sarah Palin, the author of a book on Palin moving 15 feet away from her house.
Next door for six months.
Now there's a book out by Zeb Chaffetz on me.
Chaffetz did not seek to move in next door.
Had he, he couldn't have afforded it anyway.
Uh but had he tried, uh, he wouldn't have even tried it, wasn't even in his mind to try.
He didn't have to try because I was a willing participant in this uh in this book.
I have to marvel.
The uh the left is just beside themselves at Chaffetz.
All they hate is guts now.
They're accusing him of being a limbaugh lapdog, uh, and other more vulgar things.
The media matters people.
Uh it's it's I don't even want to use the word.
Um, but it's it's uh it's it's interesting.
The Washington Post hires somebody who hates me to do the book review, David Frum, and then I have apology.
Oh, gee, we didn't know because reviewing books at newspapers supposed to hire somebody that's uh uh impartial, has no axe to grind, doesn't know the author of the book or what have you.
Uh and the Washington Post said, we you know, we didn't really know that uh this is this contratant existed, which I guess they didn't know that Frum wrote the cover story on Newsweek, which is for sale because it lost 28 million dollars uh on me.
I don't know what Frum's bug up his rear end is with me anyway.
We used to email back and forth when he was uh, well, I know he's jealous, but but it's it's more than that.
I don't know.
It just it's I've I've never said one negative thing to him.
I know that he's uh part of the Reagan era is over crowd uh and so forth.
We've had our battles about that, but regardless, they've had to apologize now for that, and they've had to apologize for a couple of errors from made uh in uh in in the uh in reviewing the uh the book.
The New York Times review of the book, Janet Maislin or Maslin, she hates me, she hates Chaffetz.
Then the New York Times went ahead after her review and ran the first chapter on their website, which ticked off everybody at the New York Times.
If you got a bad review of the book and you got a reviewer that hates the subject, hates the author, then why do you run the first chapter?
You know, I just even when I'm not here, uh, ladies and gentlemen, we stir things up like a boiling pot.
Brent Brent Brent Mosell sent me a note.
He said, Rush, you know, Brent Bozella Media Research Center.
Rush, you have got to plug this book.
This is the first time anybody has actually told a truth about you and tried to get to know the truth about you.
He said, I think he got a couple of things wrong on you and race, but for crying out loud, Rush, every other Rush Limbaugh book has been by somebody who hates your guts, has to lie and make it up.
This guy told the truth, but you gotta plug this.
You gotta make this number one on the New York Times list, Rush, because it'll send a message.
Number one, it'll help, it'll help the author, and I don't know this author, he wrote me.
I said, I don't know what Zeb Chaffetz.
But he said you also send a uh a message to all these other journalists that you can score big by being respectful to conservatives, which would never happen, but it's an interesting thought that uh that Brent Bozell had.
I noticed you can't get it on the iBook store or Kendall.
It's not an e-book yet.
They ought to do that.
Uh the publisher's name escapes me at the uh at the moment.
Sentinel, is that the publisher?
I think that's who it is.
So, anyway, there's that.
Uh then we have the drive-by's are trashing Rand Paul, which is predictable.
We have the White House being less and less covered by the drive-by's.
And the state-controlled media is starting to turn just a little.
It's not a big deal, but they're starting to turn on Obama when it comes to the oil spill and when it comes to Afghanistan, and they're starting to get a little bit upset that Obama's not talking to him.
And apparently Gibbs, the most brilliant White House press secretary we've ever had, got hold of the drive-by's the other day and in private said, You're asking too many questions about the oil spill.
You need to be asking these questions at BP.
You got Ken Salazar out there saying, Don't worry, our boot is still on BP's throat.
We're gonna handle it.
And Salazar, stealing an idea, he obviously heard on this program because nobody else has said it, said, Look at what we were able to do during Apollo 13.
We were able to put something together, working together with Apollo 13 and bring those astronauts back.
As somebody said, uh, if Salazar wants to do a uh a takeoff or a uh the a similar action to Apollo 13's rescue, uh there is no single guy in charge like there was then to lead the effort, and the astronauts would be dead by now.
Uh if it were if it were up to the Obama administration to do Apollo 13.
Meanwhile, Bobby Gendal, Bobby Gendal desperately wants a federal permit to build some barrier islands to keep the oil spill away from the primary shore, and he can't get the federal permit, which is what people genuinely dislike about government.
The bureaucrat, the bureaucracy, the maze that you have to go through.
All he wants is a permit.
It it frankly it upsets people.
He has to even have permission from the Obama administration to do it.
But then he asks for it and he can't get it.
Or hasn't gotten it yet.
The oil spill now it's it's it's um Oh, and there are now accusations.
That BP really doesn't care about anything but the money.
That they're siphoning some of the oil just to be able to sell it, that their focus is not on plugging the whole.
It is recovering as much of the oil as possible, siphoning it up to the surface to container ships.
Then over in Congress, you have these leeches in Congress who also see only a money opportunity here.
They want a cap.
They want to increase the liability cap.
They want BP to really have to pay through the nose in the form of penalties and taxes for this.
Nobody, nobody in government, other than Obama, hey, plug the hoe.
Just plug the hoe.
I gotta go on vacation.
Plug the ho.
I'm going on vacation.
I can't be bothered.
So Arlington Cemetery, I'm gonna go to Lincoln's Lincoln's place in Illinois.
Plug the hoe.
Plug it.
Nobody's doing anything.
Except trying to figure out how they can punish, how they can look like they're doing the greatest hearings, and how they can get the most penalties and fines and money out of this.
We don't have just the oil spill to worry about.
We now have the spill, the continuous spill of illegal immigrants into our country, with Obama now siding with the Phoenix Sons on Los Sons with the jerseys they wear, siding with the illegal immigrants, once again siding against the American people.
This means that Obama is supporting the inclusion of politics into professional sports.
I wonder if it were not the St. Louis Rams instead of the Los Rams, that uh people would not have objected to my attempt to be part of the ownership group trying to buy it.
Can't have politics in sports, you see, except when Obama agrees.
And for all the oil spill and all the illegals, folks, we are spilling red ink like it's the national debt now over $13 trillion.
The average household share of that's $117,000 and it's growing.
There's no way we're ever going to be able to pay this back.
There's no way of retiring the debt.
This debt's now 90% of our GDP.
It's we look, wouldn't it be funny?
We have Europe in crisis.
The Germans want to go back to the Deutschmark.
The uh they want to get rid of the Euro all over the place.
Wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be delightful if the so-called Bush recession, which is what this is labeled, wouldn't it be fascinating if the Bush recession was responsible for the collapse of European socialism?
Like Reagan and his defense spending led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Bush's recession, leads to the collapse of European socialism.
You think Bush will get the credit for that?
Uh I doubt it.
Then we have Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey, showing us what a leader looks like again.
Nope, we are not going to raise property taxes.
We don't have a revenue problem in my state, he says.
We have a spending problem.
But where would I like to start with none of those?
From the Washington Post, high school students and college-age adults have been complaining to District of Columbia officials that the free condoms the city has been offering are not good enough, that they are too small, and that getting them from school nurses is like asking grandma or auntie.
So Washington officials, DC officials, have decided to stock up on Trojans, including the company's super size magnum variety, and they have begun to authorize teachers or counselors, preferably mail, to distribute condoms to students if the teachers complete a 30-minute online training course called RAP MC for Master of Condoms.
I am not making this up.
Students are offended the condoms are too small, and they're not the right brand.
They want bigger and better condoms.
So the school district, okay, okay, okay, fine.
We'll give you condoms made by Trojan, and we'll give you the giant-size uh condoms, magna variety, and uh the teachers take a training course here called Rap MC, Rap Master of Condoms.
That's W R A P. Health officials and consumer advocates say that in terms of preventing pregnancy and uh STDs, there's no difference between Trojans and the less expensive Durex condoms the city is offering.
But because Trojans are considered a better known brand, DC officials say they are willing to spend an extra few thousand dollars a year to try to persuade sexually active teenagers to practice safer sexing condoms.
Now the the fallacy here is that this is safer sex.
One of the students quoted in this story is in his 30s.
I kid you not, one of the students quoted is in his 30s.
One of the guys here is T Squalls.
That's the student.
If people get what they don't want, they're just gonna trash them.
So why not spend a few extra dollars and get what people want?
Yeah, they're going to do it anyway, so why not spend a little more so these miscreants can uh can go out and uh and and pretend that there's no consequences to what they're doing.
So, Obama said plug the hole, and the DC school district heard him.
And we're back.
Great to be back.
Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity simply by showing up.
Barack Obama says, plug the hoe!
Plug the hoe!
I want a hoe plugged.
And the DC school district said, yes, we can.
800 282 2882, if you want to be on the program for the Boston Globe and editorial today, Obama should take charge of cleanup in the Gulf.
Out of political caution, he and his team are framing this huge environmental disaster as BP's problem, even though it is clear BP doesn't know how to solve it and hasn't been honest about its scope.
The last thing we really need is Obama taking charge of this because he is clueless.
He hasn't the slightest idea what to do.
He is not a leader.
He's an organizer, he's an agitator.
He cannot take charge.
He has no experience leading anything but a few community organizers, and there are never any solutions to what they do.
There are just the provocations that create more problems.
He is never, in fact, all he's ever done is resent multi-billion dollar private companies and tried to create crises for them.
He's never ever helped solve a crisis.
Obama is about creating crisis, folks.
Part of me thinks that he really doesn't is not bothered by all this.
This is an opportunity.
This disaster is an opportunity.
Like his uh his energy secretary, the interior secretary, an idiot Samazar.
Uh, we're gonna keep our boot on BP's throat.
Now, you read this whole editorial, Boston Globe is ready to ban oil.
Uh, but even they, even they at the Boston Globe are seeing Obama's inexperience and incompetence.
And a lot of people are starting to reflect on this.
It's just too obvious.
You can't miss this.
And it is such a stark contrast to the Obama of perfection that we got during the campaign.
But here's the dirty little secret.
For all of you at the Boston Globe, for every one of you, whether you be an environmentalist wacko or a concerned citizen worried about this spill, like all incompetent statists, like all incompetent liberals, Obama does not solve problems.
He exacerbates them.
Rama Manual.
A crisis is a terrible thing to waste, or I'm paraphrasing, but it's something like that.
This was the you know, predicting Obama's failure, which I said I hoped for, looks so easy today.
I hope he fails.
Look, it's taken a year and five months, but look at the people now lining up with me.
Maybe not my name, but more and more people are using the word failure, incompetence, inexperience.
Where's Colin Powell?
And I'd like to ask, where is General Powell?
Why isn't General Powell being interviewed?
Obama was the man.
He was what is needed.
And Obama, or rather Powell, we were told, was the quintessentially perfect Republican candidate.
Where is the great, brilliant, brave, moderate Republican Colin Powell weighing in on this?
The man who said Americans wanted more government.
The man who was so impressed with Obama, he threw the entire Republican Party and the country under the bus.
Colin Powell, who walked away from fellow moderate John McCain.
You know, I've and I was attacked for questioning Powell's motives and loyalties back then, and predicting Obama's failure was spun as somehow unpatriotic.
As if it's unpatriotic to share wisdom regarding failed political philosophies, especially when combined with zero executive experience.
That has become disastrous.
You can't miss it.
It is too noticeable.
So you look back, what was all the controversy about?
Why the hysteria and the venom directed at the doctor of democracy?
Well, I understand why.
They didn't want me to be right.
We were supposed to ignore all of these lack of qualification as well.
We're supposed to give him a chance.
We're supposed to understand the historic opportunity that we had.
It's time we put our boots on the necks of elected Democrats, my friends.
Set a stage on the mic.
800-282-2882.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
Last night in San Francisco at a fundraiser for Barbara Boxer, who may be in genuine trouble.
I think they raised over a million dollars for Boxer out there.
But Obama's saying, I need people with passion.
I need people in Congress with passion.
I need people that can work with me.
People that work with me.
By the way, speaking, let me, you know, we know that Obama's a creature of Saul Alinsky and rules for radicals.
And even by Alinsky's definitions, Obama is not a leader.
Saul Alinsky says an organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.
Provide a channel into which the people can angrily pour their frustrations.
The organizer's job is to inseminate an invitation for himself, to agitate, introduce ideas, get people pregnant with hope and a desire for change, and to identify you as the person most qualified for this purpose.
But the basic difference between the leader and organizer, the leader goes on to build power to fulfill his desires.
To hold and wield the power for purposes both social and personal.
He wants power himself.
The organizer finds his goal in creation of power for others to use.
So, even by Alinsky's standards, Obama's not a leader.
He's simply an agitator who can only point at or invent problems to stir people up for real leaders to use.
That's why he's out there begging for members of Congress with passion.
That's why he's out there saying, plug the hoe.
Just plug the hoe.
Plug it.
I'm not going to tell him I'm going to put up anymore.
I'm not going to put up anymore.
But he doesn't do anything.
He's never led anything, to be truthful.
So people expecting leadership from Obama will be forever empty and unsatisfied.
Here is Obama last night in San Francisco at a fundraiser for Barbara Boxer.
Nobody is more upset than me.
Because ultimately, like any president, when this happens on your watch, then every day you are thinking, how does this get solved?
Exactly.
So he's the president.
He doesn't like being distracted by, oh my God, how does this get solved?
How does this get solved?
Do you think the CEO of any major corporation sits at his desk every day and says, gee, how does this get solved?
I mean, he may say that in the in his mind as he formulates solutions, but he's not sitting there, oh my God, I'm president.
How does this get solved?
Plug the hole.
That's what we got to do.
Plug the hole.
Plug the hole.
How in the world do you sit there and you tell a fundraiser, you gotta feel sorry for me?
I'm a president here.
And like any president, when this happens on your watch, every day you're thinking, how does this get solved?
Ugh.
Okay.
What an utter disaster.
By the way, the uh the uh media was not invited uh to Obama's fundraising party at the at the billionaire Getty home uh in San Francisco.
Because they get their money from evil oil, you see.
Oh, you know, the the getty fortune is all oil.
And there's Obama out fundraising at a getty home, telling people about this, oh it's Bill plugged the hole out of uh how does this get solved?
The Japanese invade Pearl Harbor, 1941, FDR, gee, how does this get solved?
Terrorists blow up the World Trade Center, bomb the Pentagon, and crash a plane in a Pennsylvania field, and George W. Bush says, gee.
How does this get solved?
Barack Obama in a billionaire getty home paid for by oil in San Francisco, raising money for the hapless Barbara Boxer, complains and whines about the BP oil specifically.
Gee, like any president, sit there and ask yourself, how does this get solved?
Moving on.
Time for environmental, I told you so.
This is me back on May 17th.
Let's maybe assign some responsibility to the environmentalist wackos.
How much more dangerous, expensive and involved is it, to have to go out 65 miles or 100 miles in a gulf, and then a mile down to get oil when it's right here on the coast or on shore in various parts of the country where it'd be cheaper to get it, less dangerous.
The left went nuts when I said this.
Well, and predictably so.
Uh it was the media tweak of the day.
And they went predictably crazy on all the left-wing websites.
So let's not a CNN's Larry King Live.
He interviewed the former Shell Oil CEO, John Hoffmeister.
And uh King says, Does it not, John, hurt the whole industry, this spill?
It absolutely does.
And I have to ask the question, Larry.
This is fundamental.
Why is the industry pushed into the deep water?
5,000, 10,000 feet of risk that they're taking for Americans when there's oil on shore, there's oil in the shallow water that the industry is not allowed to pursue.
Tomorrow, we will consume 20 million barrels of oil in this country.
A lot of it is coming from foreign nations and deep water.
We will not tolerate as a country drilling in shallow water, which puts us into this horrific risk.
If this was a shallow well, this would have been this blowout would have been stifled weeks ago.
Exactly my point back on May 17th.
We're forced to go miles out and miles deep to get oil when we don't have to.
It's not that the American people demand this.
It's that radical leftist environmentalist wackos who hold sway with members of Congress have made this a necessity.
And it is a valid question.
James Carville was on Good Morning America today, and he's not happy.
Now, Carville moved to New Orleans from Washington a couple years ago.
He and his wife Mary Madeline live down there.
So he's on with George Stephanopoulos, cohabitant of the Clinton War Room back in 1992.
Stephanopoulos says, James, even though you're an ally of President Obama, you blasted the White House.
You said it was a lackadaisical response.
You said they were naive to be trusting BP, and you went on to say this is a disaster of the first magnitude.
They gotta go to plan B. Are we seeing plan B now?
The political stupidity at S is just unbelievable.
Here you have a situation where you have 11 hardworking people blown up as is a result of corporate malfeasance and maybe criminal negligence as a result of inept bureaucrats, and the president doesn't get down here in the middle of this.
This thing should be his approval rating should be up seven points right now if he'd have come down and I have no idea of why they didn't seize this thing.
I have no idea of why that attitude was so hams-offy here.
It's just unbelievable.
I hope he sees it now.
Let me help out here.
Let me let me help out, James, because he doesn't know what to do.
You know, this is not some figment of anybody's imagination.
He can't go hold a town meeting on this because the genuine oil spill is spilling oil.
He can't go hold a town meeting and talk about all the jobs that are being created.
He can't go out and speak platitudes.
And you'll notice that quote of him when he when he said to the fundraising audience in San Francisco, there's a president, sit there, say, how does this get fixed?
How does this get solved?
It's the first time in his life, I'll bet you he's never said, how do I solve this?
How's this get fixed?
He doesn't look at it, James, as his responsibility.
And for some reason, even despite Bush and Katrina, they didn't see an opportunity or a reason for Obama to go down there.
He was gonna skip it again.
He's going on his second vacation since the oil spill, so he is gonna stop in there.
More from Carville, Sepanopoulos uh tries to defend Obama here, and Carville gets even more passionate.
Stephanopoulos says, Well, gosh, um James, what what more can the president do here?
The president of the United States could have come down here.
He could have been involved with the with the families of these 11 people.
He could have commandeered the things there.
They could be deploying people to the coast right now.
He could be with the core engineers and the Coast Guard with these people in Plackham's Parish doing something about these regulations.
These people are crying, they're begging for something down here, and it just looks like he's not involved in this man.
You got to get down here and take control of this.
Put somebody in charge of this thing and get this thing moving.
We're about to die down here.
James Carville puts somebody in charge down here to get these things moving.
We're about to die down here.
Well, he's got he sent the SWAT teams out, which were inspectors, and he sent uh big sis down there, and he sent uh Ken Salazar in the cowboy hat.
And Salazar said, Don't worry, we got our boot on BP's throat.
Uh as though that's enough.
Um at least grab a mop and start cleaning up a minute's what he said about the Republicans.
Cleaning up the mess they had made in the House of Representatives and so forth.
Anyway, I gotta take a break here, folks.
We'll get to your phone calls uh sooner rather than later.
Don't go away.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
And having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have in the process.
CNN Money.com at risk, the Gulf's 234 billion dollar economy.
The numbers being banded around when it comes to how much the oil spill will ultimately cost BP, and the local Gulf of Mexico economy is huge.
3 billion 14 billion.
One politician put it at over 100 billion.
The range is so big because two important questions remain unanswered.
When will the leak be sealed?
By the way, the Coast Guard, which is a federal agency, has uh has just approved of BP's latest method called the top kill method to plug the hole.
To plug the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
But why did BP have to wait for the Coast Guard to sign off on it?
Why?
Maybe maybe BP just needs a bigger, tougher condom, like they're deploying in the DC school districts.
At any rate, the four biggest industries uh in the Gulf of Mexico are oil, tourism, fishing, and shipping.
They account for some 234 billion dollars in economic activity.
This story from CNN basically seeks to assign blame.
It's a huge economic area.
There's no question about it.
And Obama still focuses on blaming BP.
Which, fine, go ahead.
They're an easy target.
Big oil.
British.
Everybody hates BP.
Go ahead.
Blame them.
But why not use some of the best and the brightest and the smartest people in the world, the same people who are the only people qualified to fix our so-called broken health care system?
Why don't the same smart, wise, brilliant people come up with a way to fix the oil problem?
They're going to fix everything else.
They're going to fix what's wrong with Social Security.
They're going to fix what's wrong with the private sector.
They're going to fix what's wrong about the unfairness of capitalism.
They're going to fix the health care system.
They're going to fix the financial system.
They're going to fix Medicare.
They're going to fix Medicaid.
They're going to fix a space program.
They're going to fix everything they think is wrong.
Where are they on fixing the oil spill?
If they're the best and the brightest and the smartest, they ought to be able to come up with something.
It's, by the way, the media hype is what's harming tourism more than anything now.
Media hype.
How many stories have you seen of beaches which are fine?
You don't see those.
And you won't see those.
We stick with the audio sound bites.
Bobby Jindel, last Sunday held a press conference in Louisiana, said this.
We've also been waiting for a decision or dredging our sandboom plan from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for nearly two weeks.
We can either fight this battle, we can fight this oil on the Barrier Islands, 15 to 20 miles off of our coast, or we can face it in thousands of miles of fragmented wetlands.
Every day we're not given approval on this emergency permit to create more of these sandbooms is another day where that choice is made force as more and more miles of our shore are hit by oil.
And he wasn't through.
It is clear the resources needed to protect our coast are still not here.
Boom, skimmers, vacuums, jack-up barges are all in short supply.
All sits and waits for cleanup, and every day that it sits in cleanup for cleanup, more of our marsh dies.
Can't get a permit from the regime to build these berms and so forth that would uh that would hold off the oil.
The regime will not talk to him.
I'll tell you why.
You want to know why?
I'll tell you exactly because he's a Republican.
Don't doubt me.
Do not doubt me.
It was just last week we had the stories about a bunch of Democrat politicians who are trying to deny Gendel's idea.
Hey, you're a big limited government guy.
Your idea is not qualified.
You can't cut, you can't come up with a fix, you don't believe in big government.
They want the disaster.
You have to understand the far leftist elements of the regime and of our country want the disaster.
And you think they're gonna think they're gonna give uh gendal the opportunity to be the hero here?
When Obama's sitting there saying, well, plug the hoe, you know, uh, every day is present.
When's this gonna get fixed?
So he asks the question, and a couple days later, Bobby Gendal provides the answer.
You think he's gonna allow that to happen?
If you think that it is not even possible that Obama would withhold or instruct permits to be withheld because Gendal is a Republican, don't doubt me.
Everything with these people is political.
It's either an opportunity for them or it's a disaster.
They would look at Gendal as having a solution to this.
Gendal's idea working, uh-uh.
Well, can't have that.
Mark my words, folks.
Where has there been outreach to the Republicans?
Where has there been anything like that?
Obama's talked about it, but there hasn't been any.
He's not interested in any Republican ideas, including how to deal with this oil spill.
Especially if the idea might work.
If you doubt me, then you have a Long ways to go in understanding two things liberalism and Obama.
Ronald Reagan said, if you can sweep out of the way the notion of who gets a credit, there's no end to what you can accomplish.
With Obama, there's no end to what we won't accomplish, because we're only going to do things we can take credit for.
And if Gendal fixes it, Obama doesn't get credit for working with him.
Obama doesn't get credit for the idea.
He may try.
Drive-by's may say, Obama granted permission for Gendal to do what he did, seeing that it was a workable solution.
But at the end of the day, it still is Gendal's idea, especially now, since he's being denied the permit.
Be right back.
Don't doubt me.
Look, folks, Obama only reaches out to the GOP to slap him.
If you doubt me on this, don't forget Obama tried to take credit for the ceasefire between the Russians and the Georgians when the Russians went in there, even before he was uh inaugurated.
He he said his statements about how everybody should cool off is what made him stop.
Don't think he's not totally focused on credit and who gets it.
