Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
The all-knowing, all caring, all seeing Maharashi is not here today, as you know.
He told you yesterday, he warned you yesterday that I would be here, but he will be back as he told you on Monday, and things will get back to normal.
It is I, Douglas Rabanski, the phone number is 1-800-282-2882, and it is Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, they're calling Joe Barton.
They're calling whether the Republicans are spineless is what they've shown.
They've made this man apologize for his apology.
And I can tell you, if you've been following the story, that Joe Barton's apology to British Petroleum to BP as we now call it.
I know for a fact that his apology was completely appropriate.
How do I know this?
I hold in my hands absolutely incontrovertible evidence that his apology to BP was appropriate because Joe Biden said it wasn't.
And the minute Joe Biden says it isn't, you know for a fact that it is.
The biggest story, of course, yesterday at the end of the show, Rush had a telephone call.
And obviously, if it was from a lady on the scene, and she was calling to tell Rush, and all of you, that uh the barges had been shut down down in Louisiana.
And the and the barges in fact had been shut down.
We now know.
In fact, it's the biggest story of the morning of the afternoon.
It's the biggest story today.
Governor Jindal wants these barges.
They're called crude sucking barges, and they've been stopped by the Coast Guard.
So the Coast Guard is enforcing some regulations.
It's fifty-nine days into the oil crisis, I think.
And the Gulf Coast governors uh real are realizing head on that the feds are letting them completely down.
So about eight days ago, uh Governor Jindal ordered these barges to begin vacuuming the crude oil out of the waters which are soaked with oil, as you know, and against the governor's wishes yesterday, these barges were sitting idle even as more oil is flowing towards Louisiana, towards the shore.
Jindal said um he said it's the most frustrating thing.
He said it's the most frustrating thing.
He said literally, yesterday morning we found out that they were halting these barges.
Now, why have they halted the barges?
They're telling us the Coast Guard has ordered the stoppage of these barges for reasons that Jindal finds frustrating, as I share them with you.
You will find them frustrating as well.
The Coast Guard, we're told, wanted to confirm that there were fire extinguishers and life vests on board, and further claimed that they had trouble contacting the people who built the barges.
Now, let's just get this uh straight, as we sit here in complete disbelief on the story.
The Coast Guard wants to confirm the barges are sitting there.
The barges are there.
Jindal wants them there being used.
Governor Riley, Governor Riley, also in the all the all of the Gulf Coast governors are asking the question today.
Who is in charge of this cleanup?
59 days.
59 days into the crisis, and nobody knows who's in charge.
Alabama governor Bob Riley.
He has had problems with the Coast Guard also.
He said, It's like a huge committee down there, and every decision that we try to implement, any one person on that committee has absolute veto power.
Now I mentioned this when I was here on Monday.
We talked about the lack of leadership.
We will talk more about the lack of leadership because the story of the lack of leadership doesn't go away.
The notion that there's not one person involved in this story who is in charge, that there is no such thing as a Manhattan Project type brain trust organized instantly when the when the event occurred, with the instruction from the top saying, please solve this.
You've got three weeks, solve it, has not occurred.
When you hear this, and you know that these barges are sitting there, aren't you Isn't this enough to convince you really convince you that our government is too large to function?
That we need to clean out a whole layer of bureaucracy.
You know, you st you do start wondering the other question.
Does this administration want the U.S. to fail?
Heaven knows that we want Obama's policies to fail.
I know that Rush said that, and we follow him on this.
So first they hide behind, let me get it right, behind the Jones Act.
Then a state governor with leadership skills in the story.
Jindal is showing, by the way, the very thing that we're not seeing from the administration.
Jindal is showing that he's got leadership skills.
He got the guts, he's got leadership skills.
He figures out a way around the Jones Act.
He's got the barges sitting there, the administration Coast Guard gets it all tied up in red tape.
It's embarrassing, in fact.
You know that?
Your heart goes out to all of those down there in this area who are being affected by this.
I mean, this country is bigger and better, and we can do a bigger and better job of fixing this mess.
But the government and the bureaucrats need to get out of the way.
Isn't it the same old story?
You wonder, somebody said something funny to me if Obama had been confused between the word golf and gulf, because he's been out golfing a lot since the whole thing started.
The answer is, of course, that this is if you are of the administration's mindset, the answer is that this is a convenient crisis.
Now, it's coincidental, fascinatingly coincidental that this crisis happened where it did.
Sort of George Bush's Katrina was in the same neighborhood as they point out to us.
But now this whole thing is going.
And people like Rom Emanuel make sure that this whole thing remains a catalyst in their minds for other things in their agenda like cap and tax and oil putting limits on oil exploration.
You follow what I'm saying.
Remember the famous quote?
I've got it here.
You all remember when Rahm Emanuel was quoted as saying, you never let a serious crisis go to waste.
But in the many times you and I have heard that quote repeated to us during the past 18 months, two years, we have forgotten and we've lost sight of what the second half of that quote is.
The second half of that quote is he says, you never let a serious crisis go to waste.
But he also goes on to say, and what I mean by that, is that it's an opportunity to do things you could not do before.
They view crisis as opportunity.
Let me say it, just let this sink in what I'm saying.
They view crisis as opportunity to do what?
To do things you could not do before.
In other words, to do things you couldn't otherwise do.
In other words, to do things that the public would never would never let you do.
But they will use crises for that.
So if you're checking for life vests on barges that are there to suck up oil in the Gulf where there's a spill, if you're taking your time to shut down these barges, you're contributing to the disaster.
You're making it now, you really are causing a man-made disaster.
You really are helping to contribute to that.
If you're checking for life vests and uh fire extinguishers, think of how they will run health care when it's time for you to go in for your operation on your eye or your knee or your heart or your cancer treatment.
And what are they gonna stop?
What are they gonna do?
Are they gonna stop you in the way to the hospital and say, have you brought the right robe, have you brought the right pajamas before we can continue the operation?
I mean, that's that's what you get from government of this size.
The Obama administration's response to this disaster has been, from the beginning, by all appearances the gang that couldn't shoot straight.
There is still no one in charge.
Why don't they just put Bobby Jindal in charge of the whole darn thing?
A state governor like Jindal, Governor Riley, should be able to answer and call, go to one person, one person in charge of the federal effort, and get An immediate answer.
Obama's response to this entire thing has been the response of a fiasco.
He covers himself politically, and he's not the person in charge.
He doesn't he doesn't have anyone in charge to fix this tragedy.
It's a it's a shame.
You never let a serious crisis go to waste.
And what I mean by that is that it's an opportunity to do things you could not do before.
You never let a serious crisis.
Okay.
Remember those words because we're haunted by them.
That's how they push through all of this stuff.
Obama would not waive the Jones Act.
He would not allow foreign expertise.
He would not allow foreign equipment to participate, you know.
Something something very strange about that.
I think we need at this point to have some special barges go to Washington, D.C. and suck up some of the politicians that are there.
Once again, all this hurts people in the Gulf so they can take advantage of another crisis.
And of course, you have uh you have uh Representative Barton who apologized to BP for coming to this country and being shaken down by the government, shaken down by the administration, in fact, and you have the Republicans I hate to say it, uh spineless.
They call him on the carpet.
Our own party, the Republican Party calls him on the Do you know it says in the story here from the AP that there are actually Republicans calling for his punishment, calling for his punishment.
The word is that at least two in the leadership are considering some sort of option for Representative Barton that would punish him for apologizing to BP.
It's unbelievable.
It's the Rush Limbaugh show.
The phone it is open line Friday.
The phone number is 1-800-282-2882.
Also, there's Rush Limbaugh.com.
As you know, I am a I'm a paying member for very good reason.
And it's Douglas Rubasky filling in for Rush, and we'll be right back.
I am going to move on.
It is I, Douglas Rbanski filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
Maharashi is away, as you heard him say on um yesterday.
On Monday, he will be back, and everything is back to normal.
There's no more guests fill-in hosts, and I, for one, as a listener, will be very happy that that is the case.
It is open line Friday, 1-800-282-2882 is the number.
Also, uh, if you have a chance to go to Rushlimbaugh.com, of which, as you know, I am a paying member.
Nobody forces me to say that.
I actually, and have you seen the graphics?
The graphics, I think they've got one up now that says the Thug Father.
Because of Obama's shakedown of British petroleum.
The thug father, the graphics are the sort of thing that we in Hollywood would spend millions of dollars trying to create.
They do it here, and boy, they're funny.
Funny, smart stuff there.
Anyhow, back to the thug father, in fact.
British Petroleum has been shaken down, and as you know, Representative Barton was called on the carpet by his own party, and I said a moment ago at the first monologue that Representative Barton, that we know for a fact when he apologized, someone said he's in the pocket of big oil.
We know I happen to think he did the right thing by apologizing because accidents do happen.
But the Washington Post goes has a story today, and they talk about British Petroleum having to possibly pay the costs on the moratorium that is on drilling.
Let me say that again.
There is a an administration imposed moratorium on drilling, and there are administration officials who are suggesting that BP should pay the lost wages of oil industry workers who have been sidelined by the administration's moratorium.
That is the working definition of another man-made disaster.
Self-imposed, self-inflicted by the administration.
It is mind-boggling.
It is mind-boggling.
Of course, once this was announced, BP's stock took a nosedive.
Big surprise.
Who owns the stock?
Do you know?
Pension funds.
We've heard it about it.
Pensioneers.
People think always big business is something that doesn't involve regular people.
Of course, it is owned by regular people.
Regular people are directly affected.
The president yesterday asked BP for a voluntary contribution to a foundation that will support unemployed oil industry employees.
Voluntary.
Voluntary.
BP then agrees to this, and they offer, according to the Washington Post, 100 million dollars for the state imposed uh state imposed um uh moratorium on drilling.
Now, I want to mention a name to you, because if you've been following the plot for about the past eight or nine or ten years, you've heard this name before.
The name is Jamie Gorellick.
Jamie Gorellick, I see you nodding over there.
The name J Jamie Gorelick, as you know, was involved in the Clinton administration.
She's someone who has been involved in how could I put it?
The wall, so that you could not have one agency of government, one intelligence agency of government share information with another intelligence agency.
Kind of like that what is going on right now.
And she is one of the figures, one of the central figures involved, one might say, in the path leading up to 9-11.
Get this.
Get this.
These names jump out of the newspaper when you read this stuff.
You can't make this up.
Jamie Gorelick is a lawyer who is now serving as an advisor to BP.
So she, again, this woman is, by the way, I think she's involved in Fannie Mayor Freddie Mack as well.
I think she's every I want to know.
She was on she was on the 9-11 commission.
This woman is this woman is every place.
Jamie Gorellick.
And now she's the lawyer, she's an advisor to BP.
So she's in on this White House meeting that we all heard about, and she said we we made clear that we do not think this is a liability for the company.
I'm talking about them, about BP having to pay for the moratorium on drilling.
She said the president says he's concerned about those workers.
He asked if there was something we could do as a voluntary gesture, says Jamie Gorellick, who is described as a Washington lawyer who serves as an advisor to BP and was president.
This is no regular Washington lawyer.
This is somebody who's all over the place.
Asked if BP had requested a statement from Obama, affirming that BP should remain strong and viable.
And by the way, that is notably been missing from the story.
Gorelik does not answer this question directly.
She's asked, okay, should BP remain strong and remain viable?
She does not answer the question.
She says, We know what it looks like when a company is driven to bankruptcy.
She says the claims that come first are the creditors, then the employees, then the environmental claims, and then others.
She said this would not be a good result for anyone.
She says I don't think the administration needs persuasion of this.
Now here's a question.
Because I'm curious person.
I I could even be prone to conspiratorial thinking at various times of the day.
How on earth, how on earth did Gorelik get this job?
Why is she in this job?
Why is again there's another massive disaster?
9-11.
And now this in the Gulf and Jamie Gorelic is wherever this woman goes, is there always a disaster that is lurking somewhere in the I would not hire her if that were the case.
I would I would stay away from this woman as much as possible.
So now the New York Times takes Obama to task.
What the New York Times says, essentially, is that Obama has no legal basis for the demand of BP putting up all this money.
This is very important, and I want you to follow me here.
Obama feels that he does not need a legal basis.
So the New York Times, David Sanger writes, listen to me closely.
First there was General Motors, whose chief executive was summarily dismissed by the White House before the government became the company's majority shareholder.
Chrysler, forced into a merger.
And you and I all know about the banks that received government bailouts.
You know that executive pay was curbed.
You know the insurance companies were seeking all sorts of help from the government.
President Obama's successful move to force BP to establish a 20 million compensation fund, says the New York Times, that the company will have no voice in allocating.
The company will have no voice in allocating how the 20 billion is spent, where it goes, what happens with it.
The president, further in the horror story of horrors, says that this is just a down payment.
So he keeps the door open for more of a more of a shakedown in the story.
You heard what Rush said yesterday, didn't you?
He said the government is acting like a branch of organized crime.
I I tell you, I think we would actually be better off with Tony Soprano.
It's Douglas Yerbanski filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
1 800-282-2882 is the number, and we'll be right back.
After this.
Hell, Rush Bell is not here, but he will be back Monday.
1-800-282-2882 is the phone number.
And things will be back to normal on Monday, as Rush has already told you.
You know, Obama is, and it is Open Line Friday.
You know, Obama is being besieged at every place you turn.
This guy has worsening problems at every front.
Any place this guy looks, there's another problem.
When he was a candidate for president, by the way, Barack Obama saw every little thing, every little activity of George W. Bush as a mistake.
Particularly in the Gulf Coast.
Bush's policy about war, Bush's policy about the economy, all these things were Barack Obama's Mr. Big Talk's uh easy targets for criticism.
Now everything is turned around.
Obama has got variations on the same themes himself that he's facing.
His judgment is got to be put under the microscope.
And the mainstream media is doing it in a sort of lame way.
They still give him excuses, though.
Don't be fooled by these quasi-critical pieces that do appear in the New York Times and elsewhere, these questioning pieces, because they're not quite putting his judgment under the microscope the way that they would if it were George W. Bush.
He needs more public scrutiny.
His options need to be looked at.
Now, some people are still giving him the excuse that it is early in his presidency.
My goodness, early in his presidency?
It's two years in, my friends.
Two years in.
He's got a recession he's facing, that is in large part creating and enhancing.
He talks about recovering and rebuilding.
That's number one.
Number two, he's got Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is a massive problem, and this man is sending conflicting conflicting signals about that.
I'll be talking about more on that later in the broadcast.
And thirdly, he's got this, he refers to it as a battle that is being waged against an oil spill.
Three things.
Three things.
Do you know that when the president had a motorcade on um Tuesday driving through Pensacola, Florida, there were protesters.
There, you didn't see a lot of there's you any time Bush went someplace, you knew there were protesters, you knew there were protesters outside his house, wherever Carl Rove still goes to this day, they're protesters.
You did not see the protesters when Obama's motorcade was in Pensacola the other day.
There were so there were protesters.
And some of them said, day 55, still no skimmers.
Other signs said, enough with the photo ops.
Enough with the photo ops.
So we have this, we have this ongoing problem.
It is open line Friday.
I'm gonna come back to the New York Times piece in just a moment, because a very important point about free enterprise and government interference that the piece makes.
But first I do want to go to your calls.
Let's go to Port Arthur, Texas, and speak to Leo.
Leo, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Yes, good morning.
I'm listening to the program today, and you started off by stating that the Republican Party uh showed a lack of spine and and whatnot, but I think to the contrary, given the state of one-up politics in America and the grandstanding between these politicians of both parties.
Me being a Democrat, I find it refreshing that Republicans have finally shown spine and courage to call in one of their own reprimand them for doing something that was totally stupid and out of line.
Well, you know, Leo, you and I disagree, because I think the Republican body did something stupid by reprimanding him.
How's that?
Do you do you see the same on the other side?
Do you see a lot of reprimanding on the liberal side of each other's conduct?
When necessary, it'll take place.
But my call this morning was in specific order with regards to Barton.
And for it to happen at this particular time when they could have used this for momentum to continue the negativity.
For me, it shows that there's still hope for the Republican Party.
And that was basically the nature, you know, the reason for me calling.
I'm not uh throwing in the hat for them, but I just would like to make that, you know, known.
Leo, tell me, in your wish, you talk about hope for the Republican Party.
What is your wish for the Republican Party when you think of the hopeful signs?
What do you see?
Honestly, you want my honest opinion, because that's what I'm about to give you.
And with all due deference, I feel that if the Republican Party would take the cues from the people within their ranks rather than allowing those of you and talk radio to try and take control of their party and the radical way that you all view America and the world,
that they might be more effective if they just eliminate Rush Limbaugh, Hannity Levin, and all these other radical guys out of the equation and start governing and thinking for themselves.
Leo, it's very good of you to call the Rush Limbaugh show.
What you're saying, if I understand you correctly, is that you would be happy if the Republican Party took its cue from the Democrat Party, yes?
No, take its cue from the people, and then among themselves as a party.
Leo, do you do you want to think, Leo, do you not think that what you brandish with a wide brush is talk radio?
Do you not think that it's is somehow resemblance of people talking about just say to the uh elect few people though, because everybody in talk radio, they're not radical.
Do you not think that talk radio, the way you put it, is similar to people talking over the back fence?
You know, my friend, if you're not listening to talk radio, and if you're not on the internet, and if you're only getting your news in certain places, you are simply not getting the news.
This is why people are concerned about bailing out what they call journalism right now.
Well, just for your information, I'm one who can think for himself.
I do my I do not rely on talk radio.
I I I listen to the news, I go online, I get information, I talk to my co-workers.
We have two local radio programs here in my area that I call in.
One is ran by an independent, another by Democrat.
And when we talk among ourselves locally, the rhetoric doesn't line up with what I hear the national guys putting out there.
So as far as for me having to rely on talk radio like a lot of people, I don't.
All right, Leo.
What I'm hearing you say is that you would you don't like the sharpness of divide.
You don't like the sharpness of difference of opinion.
And I tell you, my friend, so much of this goes way beyond opinion, Leo, and it is a huge contrast, a huge contrast in what each party stands for.
Uh we'll be talking about that a little later in the show as well, Leo.
Thanks so much for calling the Rush Limbaugh Show in Queens.
Let's go to Vinny.
Vinny, welcome to the Russian Limbaugh Show.
Hey, Mr. Rubowski, thanks for taking my call.
I'd like to uh just for a moment to respond to Leo.
Leo, as far as rhetoric and you know what the national programs are saying, it was your president that said uh to uh have you, one of his followers, get in our faces.
It was your president that said bring a gun to a nice fight.
It was your president that said who's ass to kick.
Okay, that was your president that was raising up the rhetoric rhetoric, not Rush Limbaugh, not national radio.
That was your president.
And as far as Representative Barton, he may have been a bit inarticulate in what he was trying to say, but his point was sound.
By the way by the way, Vinny, do you notice this little this little nuance here?
Well, I know the left is always looking for nuances, so let's play the nuance game.
The nuance here is that Barton is speaking his mind.
He may even have a valid point.
We are never ever supposed to question the left when they make any of their nuance points, but suddenly this man is making his point, and the whole world, including his own party, comes down strongly on him.
Well, I uh I I heard word for word what Representative Barton said, and uh Basically his point was we have a legal system to do what the White House did.
And if if you're familiar with how this country operates, you know he's right.
He could have said it a little differently, but I agree essentially with his point.
Now, regarding how you opened the show, sir, uh regarding President Obama, nobody's this stupid.
Nobody is this consistently inept.
This is purposeful, purposeful, what's going on in the Gulf.
This is calculated and it is brazen.
Well, that that Vinny was my point.
And uh my point is this.
Tell me if you if you think I'm onto something.
I think the man is well is poorly read, poorly read in history, not well steeped in in anything other than his own ideology.
And I think that he is extremely effective at getting done what he wants done.
And when Rush said the very controversial comment uh over a year ago, I hope he fails.
This is exactly what Russia's getting at.
These things have got his this man's policies have got to fail.
You think I'm right, Vinny?
Well, not only are you on to something, you're backed by uh such as the likes of Charles Crowdhammer, who basically says, you know, Obama's all about uh, you know, creating the world in his image, and that's exactly right.
Um he can't be bothered with the little things, but if the inconvenient things like an oil spill comes up, he goes to what Rahm Emanuel uh said eighteen months ago, and now we're seeing it, and I think we might be at the point where it's time for for people who uh you know wake up every morning, put their pants on one leg at a time.
Yes, sir.
Vinny, if this was a president, anyone other than Barack Obama who they want to cover for, uh, they would be saying that this man is disconnected from reality if it was anybody else.
Well, if I mean you saw what they did to George Bush, who started you know, pretty damn good now when it came to Katrina.
Um not that I ever thought he was that bad to begin with, but you know, I I have to tell you I feel powerless as an American citizen.
I'm very politically in tune.
I know what's going on because I listen to talk radio and I research as well on the internet and read the papers just like Leo does.
Um Vinny, I'll tell you something.
I was I want I made a very big effort to be polite to Leo uh because this is a very polite show.
It's hard, man.
It's hard sometimes because there were so many things I actually wanted to say to Leo, but you know, he's dealing with limited information and he's dealing with an agenda and the limbo program is a very polite show.
Vinny, let's talk again sometime.
Call the Limbo show again.
Uh it's Douglas Rabansky filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
It's open line Friday, 1-800-282-2882 is the number.
Much more to cover.
We'll be right back.
Open line Friday, guest host filling in for El Rushbo, who will be back on Monday, 1-800-282.
2882 is the number.
I'll get back to your calls in a few minutes.
I want to finish talking about this uh New York Times piece, be which is struck me.
It's such a such a curious piece.
The New York Times goes on to say, I was made they were making the point when I left off on this, that uh BP will have no voice in overseeing how the twenty billion they have been shaken down is going to be allocated.
The New York Times goes on to say that with that display of raw arm twisting to describe President Obama.
Now, uh that is not Representative Barton describing arm twisting.
That is the New York Times.
Barton apologized for saying virtually the same thing you realize, don't you know?
He apologized.
The New York Times says with that display of arm twisting, Mr. Obama reinvigorated a debate about the renewed reach of government power.
He reinvigorated a debate about the renewed reach of government power.
There's no debate here.
This is a self-inflicted construct we're operating under.
You understand this, don't you?
Completely invented stuff.
He reinvigorated the debate about the power of government overreach.
Well, we've been living through almost two years of government overreach.
The New York Times went on to say it is an argument that has come to define Mr. Obama's first 18 months in office, and one that Mr. Obama clearly hopes will make a central issue in November's midterm elections.
If this is a central issue, it's not very good news for for the Democrats.
The overreach, the bulldozer, the steamroller of government involvement is is is what the American people don't want.
This is what the caller was talking about.
So you see here uh at Carnegie the President said at Carnegie Millen University.
He said that the Bush administration gutted regulations and put industry insiders in charge of industry oversight.
Who else, sir, would you suggest should be in charge of industry oversight?
Who would you suggest?
Do you not want people familiar with the airline business in charge of overseeing the airlines?
Do you not want people involved in the communications field in charge of the communications field?
Who would you choose?
My thinking is that he would choose somebody who has a red stripe down the side of their pants and maybe a hat with a star on it in the center.
Industry insiders in charge of industry oversight.
So Joe Barton makes his comments.
He accuses the president of unconstitutional shakedown of BP to create a slush fund.
That's Joe Barton's words.
He was giving voice to an alternative narrative, which is that uh that in corporate suites, Mr. Obama, whenever faced with a crisis, whenever faced with a crisis that involves private sector players, he will always show himself to be anti-business.
Now the New York Times tells us that the reality, in fact, is more complex.
To a liberal, these things are always more complex.
The simple is always nuanced and more complicated than common sense makes it be.
The New York Times says, clearly, Mr. Obama sees his presidency as far more than a bully pulpit, Well, actually, he sees it as far less, if you ask me.
He sees himself simply as a bully.
He casts himself as a last line of defense, they say, against market excesses that take many forms.
Obama said in the past, corporate America was not only at the table, they owned the table and the chairs around the table.
That's what he said.
More on this fantastic story.
I gotta continue.
Because of the interference of the administration in business, it sets the stage for something quite unsettling about future investment by business, both domestic and foreign in this country.
Douglas Rubanski filling in for Rush.
I made the point that the word bully pulpit is used and that I call him just a bully.
I can't say...
What I've been suggested to say.
I'm too uncomfortable saying it.
But he's a he's a bully.
No, he's a I'm not gonna say it, sir.
But he's a he's a he's a bully.
Um after the top of the hour, we're going to discuss the mess he's in, the quagmire.
You've not heard the word quagmire at all in this story.
You've not heard the word quagmire, and yet in Afghanistan we've got a quagmire.
It's one of the many fronts this guy is bumbling on.
Somebody said to me, don't get stuck on stupid applies in this case to this president.
And you look around at the economy, you look around at the quagmire in Afghanistan, and you look around at the quagmire in the Gulf, and you look around at the quagmire where immigration is concerned, and you um you have somebody stuck on stupid.
Yeah, the I got two words.
Two words in the whole story.
Community organizer.
That's it.
Enough said.
Is there anything more to be said?
There is nothing more to be said.
That sums up the uh the whole thing early in his presidency, my eye.
My eye.
Refining his leadership skills we're talked about.
We're told he must refine his leadership skills.
When does that actually kick in?
I say put Jindal in charge of something.
He seems to have some leadership skills down there.
The left in this country, the press, Hollywood Democrats, they succeed in convincing a lot of people that the Republican way is wrong, that the conservative way is wrong.
That if they were put in charge, everything will be bliss.
Well, of course, now that they are in charge, everything at every place you turn is a mess.
Have you seen any this much ineptitude, this much turmoil?
You didn't have this much ineptitude or turmoil under uh George W. Bush, I must uh honestly tell you.
It doesn't seem that way.
Remember that some people have that bumper sticker.
I've seen it around, where Bush is smiling and waving.
Have you seen this?
The caption with the picture says miss me yet.
That bumper sticker gets more appropriate almost every day.
It truly does.
Oh my, it's not really um you know, Obama's not worried.
He looks pretty cool.
His plan is working just fine.
His plan is working for the destruction of America exactly on schedule.
He said that he will bankrupt the coal companies.
I tell you, he's thinking he's got to be thinking about seizing oil companies with these huge taxes, this cap and tax plan.
If you can tell me exactly what that has to do with this oil spill, I have I would love to know.
