Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
You know, a lot of people asked me yesterday, why haven't you commented on this Al Gore story?
And you got the Masseuse out there, and now this updated story on that.
I tell you why, folks, I'm skeptical about these allegations against Al Gore.
How do you massage a wooden object?
I mean, the guy's a tree.
It's just very, very difficult for me to believe this if it's true.
I'm going to tell you this.
If it's true, the 2000 uh election had more of an impact on Gore than we knew.
He lost his mind and his pants.
Greetings, folks, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network at uh 800-282-2882.
Great to have you here.
Already up to Thursday.
Can you believe this?
iPhone launch day for many people.
And big news still coming out of Washington on the uh Stanley McCrystal uh General Petraeus.
You know, everybody's missing this.
Well, as I said yesterday, the reason you listen to this show.
I mean, these people are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.
All this praise for Petraeus now.
Well, we're gonna go back and we're gonna revisit all of the audio sound bites of all these Democrats ripping Petraeus.
A new one.
I mean, look at this.
In the politico, how Obama Took Command by Mike Allen.
How Obama and by the way, that is a general thing.
And I predicted this.
I predicted this.
I'm gonna play you the prediction from the program yesterday.
I predicted that this would be Obama rising to the occasion.
Uh Joe Klein, Time Magazine, the sort of moment people write books about.
I feel like I'm on another planet.
We've already written 50,000 books on this guy trying to buck him up, and now you have to sit here and say, how Obama took command.
If you have to write a story that says Obama took command, it's obvious that he hadn't taken command, and I'm still not sure that he has.
What a pathetic example of journalism.
How Obama took he's only been commander-in-chief for a year and a half.
He's only delivered how many speeches at West Point.
He's only dithered how long about all the policy in Afghanistan.
He tried to affect the elections in Afghanistan to get Karzai out of there, and now because he fires a general, they come up and say, How Obama took command.
Well, what's he been doing up to now if he didn't have command?
This is nonsense.
This is flat-out absurdity, journalistic malpractice trying to portray something here as a it's it's like what was it, the first year of Clinton.
He's still searching for his voice.
Bill Clinton was still searching for his voice.
I don't know.
And then we have, you see, this a Japanese have been told to go to bed an hour early to cut their carbon emissions.
You haven't heard that Japanese told to go to bed an hour early to cut carbon emissions.
Maybe we could do that for Anderson Cooper at CNN.
Put that network to bed an hour early.
Think of all of the carbon emissions that we could save there.
You know, these billboards out there.
George Bush, Miss Me Yet.
They're not the ones we need.
You guys that are in charge of this, I got a better idea for you, and I'll give it away.
I don't want any royalties.
I don't care about the credit.
You know, you've seen these billboards of smiling George W. Bush and the headline, Miss Me Yet.
This presidency is so out of kilter.
And to put this in real perspective, you need a billboard with a smiling Jimmy Carter that says, Miss Me Yet.
I mean, when you put a picture of a smiling Jimmy Carter, the absolute worst president in this, well, last hundred fifty years.
Uh and he have a billboard campaign that might indicate we prefer him to Obama.
I mean, that would be a tremendous insult.
Also, um, the uh the director of um health or homeland security, big sis Janet Napolitano, has issued a statement.
Homeland Security Secretary John at Janet Napolitano, also known as Big Sis, issued a statement this morning regarding America's two most pressing issues, the Gulf oil spill and President Obama's devotion to golf.
Secretary Napolitano, speaking to labor leaders, declared that from this day forward, no one in the Obama administration or those seeking favors or mercy from the administration shall use the phrase gulf oil spill.
It will now be referred to as the BP caused disaster.
Official language requirements, use inside the administration from Janet Napolitano, no longer the Gulf oil spill.
It is the BP caused disaster.
Along those same, you think I'm kidding?
Along those same lines, it can no longer be said by administration officials, the press office or the media that the president went to play golf.
The president no longer plays golf.
The president is clearing his mind.
We appreciate your cooperation.
We'll take note of those that do not do as instructed.
So it's no longer the golf oil spill.
It's a BP caused disaster.
He doesn't play golf anymore.
He clears his mind.
You see this?
Blagojevich.
I mean, this is all over this is the Chicago Tribune.
They're really covering this.
And I have pointed this out before.
Rod Blogoevich, not exactly emerging as a shining example of enlightened feminist friendly rhetoric in the undercover recordings being played at his trial yesterday afternoon.
An example is a by but before I get into this, what is this?
Why does anybody have to be enlightened feminist friendly?
I mean, when you hear what Blogoevich said about Obama, it is the way men and women both talk about people.
There's nothing feminist or anti-feminist about it.
An example is a conversation he held with Chief of Staff John Harris, November 7, 2008, in which the two were discussing Blagoevich's plans to swap a Senate appointment for a post in the Obama administration or some high-paying job in the private sector.
Harris and Blagoevich were reviewing talks with union officials that they perceived to be emissaries of Obama.
Blagoevich said the emissaries didn't seem to know exactly what to make of his swap request.
Barack really wants to get away from Illinois politics, said Blagoevich, laughing.
Eventually the talk got around to it, and this was said in court.
This is all played in court.
Eventually the talk got around to a suggestion that they try a different route to convey the swap idea to the president through the soon-to-be First Lady Michelle Obama.
Blogoevich said, uh, he's a lot more henpecked than me.
He listens to Michelle.
Hinpecked.
Something like that has drawn derision from the media as enlightened, uh not enlightened feminist-friendly rhetoric.
Henpecked.
Uh I've often thought, I've even commented on it on this program.
I think Obama is.
Why do you think this guy, when he I think half the reason he leaves the white house to go get a burger?
Because his wife is making him eat watercress and bamboo in there.
He wants to get out, have some real food, have some fries, some onion rings, some burgers.
He's looking when this guy leaves the White House and look at what he eats.
I mean, it's real food.
Who knows what they're feeding the poor guy in the White House?
Obviously he's henpecked.
He may be so henpecked he didn't even zip her up behind her back.
As the only thing he would do behind her back.
Great illustration of the difference between Blagoevich, me, Obama.
Remember Pat Schroeder.
She once said, I have a brain and a vagina, and I can use either to get what I want.
She said this back when she was still in the House of Representatives.
You what I said in response to it?
We looked it up.
She said, Pat Schroeder, I have a brain, I have a vagina, I can use either to get what I want.
I said, I have a brain and a penis, and I only have to use half of either to get what I want.
Oh, and that I remember that just irritated him out there like nothing before.
Law to fight corruption takes a hit with Supreme Court ruling.
This affects Jeff Skilling and perhaps Conrad Black.
A Supreme Court ruling today weakens key anti-corruption legislation.
Justices ruled that the law against honest services fraud was too vague to constitute a crime unless a bribe or kickback was involved.
The decision likely to have far-reaching consequences could affect the recent convictions of Jeff Skilling, Enron, and Conrad Black.
Former Chicago newspaper magnet, both Skilling and Black, had appealed to the Supreme Court.
The decision would not affect their convictions on other charges.
Blagojevich is being tried on multiple charges of corruption, including depriving the public of honest services.
And that's what this law here is all about, that they dealt with.
Depriving the public of honest services.
Multiple charges, Blagoevich, including depriving the public of honest services.
And I read that.
Depriving the public of honest services, if this had been upheld as the law, every liberal in government would today be in prison.
Apparently, General McChrystal couldn't stop laughing in that meeting yesterday.
It lasted a half hour.
Looky here, folks.
This is from a very approving Reuters.
Venezuela will nationalize a fleet of oil rigs belonging to U.S. company Helmick and Payne.
The latest takeover and a push to socialism as President Hugo Chavez struggles with lower oil output and a recession.
You know why there's lower oil output?
Because he didn't have anybody down there who knows anything about it, and he's already nationalized a bunch of rigs, nationalized a bunch of uh oil wells.
Now he's going to nationalize a fleet of them, claiming that the people in that business have no clue how to bring oil to the market.
There are 11 drilling rigs that have been idled for months following a dispute over pending payments by a Venezuela's state oil company.
The oil minister Rafael Ramirez said yesterday the rigs, the Oklahoma-based company's entire Venezuelan fleet were being nationalized to bring them back into production.
So an Oklahoma company, an American company's oil rigs, 11 of them have been nationalized by Hugo Chavez.
We see our future in whatever direction we look, it seems in this world.
Back to the audio sound bites now.
Remember Jim Moran, he's back at it again today.
Let's remind you this was yesterday.
One-minute speeches on the floor of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today out of disgust over recent comments by Rush Limbaugh about child hunger.
A few days ago, I was sent Mr. Limbaugh's response to the news that more than 16 million children will face, quote, a summer of hunger, quote, because they won't have access to free or discounted meals they usually get at school.
Mr. Limbaugh ultimately recommended these children dumpster dive.
Dumpster dive to find food until school starts back up.
In the midst of a deep recession that has forced millions of Americans to face the daily fear of losing their homes and failing to provide food for their kids.
All Mr. Limbaugh can contribute is another awful example of shameless and callous commentary.
Ask yourself, when is the last time that Rush Limbaugh missed a meal?
Take a look.
You judge for yourself.
What did he have?
A picture of me down there, too, on an easel.
On the House Florida, Jim Moran, that's yesterday.
Here is Jim Moran today on the House floor.
One minute speeches.
There have been 379 incidents involving threats and abuse towards census employees so far this year.
That's more than double the violence that occurred during the last census in 2000.
The reported incidents have consisted of robberies, assault, violent threats being held against their will, and carjacking.
They are doing very important work and getting paid very little for it.
Ironically, it is the work of census takers that will ensure that each American receives their fair share of federal resources.
I'm afraid that this abuse may be directly tied to some of the anti-government rhetoric that is coming from some people in this body and the Republican noise machine.
In other words, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and countless other so-called shock jocks.
Rather than disparaging federal employees, this body should be applauding the work that they are performing.
As Jim Moranz of Baghdad Baghdad McDermott yesterday, Jim Moran today, he's from Virginia.
I mean, this is this is serious.
And when these kind of guys start leveling these anti-government charges at you on the floor of the House of Representatives, they are setting up what they hope will be some issue or incident of violence down the road.
They can say, C C Limbo is causing it for the record.
When's the last time we talked about census workers on this program?
I mean, it has been weeks.
It has been a while.
And the last thing I remember saying about census workers is talking about them and how they are being perceived out there doing their jobs.
And I the last story we did on the census worker was one who talked about, my God, I can't believe how angry people are at the government out there.
We've also heard about how the census workers are being hired and fired and rehired and fired and rehired and fired to build up the employment numbers.
They're hired and a lot of them aren't doing anything.
Hired, fired, hired, fired.
All to make it look like there's new job creation going on.
But nobody on this program has ever suggested don't participate with these people.
Not in the census.
There is some other sort of wacko community survey that some people are running around trying to get you to give information on.
But I don't know what he's...
They just make this stuff up because it fits the template.
And you know, it's very serious stuff, while at the same time being hilarious.
I mentioned a moment ago that Hugo Chavez nationalizing oil rigs.
And I said that our future is visible to us no matter where we look.
However, let me ask you a question.
If you're in the Gulf, if you're in the American oil business, who would you rather have running it?
Chavez or Obama?
At least Chavez, when he nationalizes the rigs, wants some oil to be produced.
Obama is putting a moratorium on drilling.
What the heck is with that?
Does that not put things in perspective here?
Chavez, yeah, it's just like Obama, except Chavez is nationalizing oil rigs to put them into production.
Obama wants to shut them down.
So you might say that Chavez is a thug, but unlike Mr. Obama, he's a patriotic thug.
Because he at least wants his country's oil output to um to get out and then to to uh to increase.
Speaking of oil, you know, lost in all the tsunami of news about McCrystall and Petraeus, which we're gonna get to in a minute.
This is from Bloomberg News Petrobras.
That's the petroleum company of Brazil.
Petrobras, petroleum company of Brazil, announced its offshore drilling plans for the next five years.
Brazil plans to invest 224 billion.
That's 224 billion dollars in offshore drilling.
We have given them 10 or 12 billion.
Now stop and think about this.
Here's Brazil, 224 billion dollars in offshore oil drilling.
They're going to invest that much.
And what are we doing?
We are investing in windmills and solar power and wacko little light bulbs, cafe standards, batteries, biofuel, hydrogen.
We're investing in tire gauges for crying out loud.
And despite all this leadership from the Grand Barack Obama, Petrobras, is going to invest 224 billion dollars in offshore drilling.
Well, what are we doing?
We're shutting it down.
You know what would be funny?
And by the way, it would be totally intellectually honest, as if the Senate Armed Services Committee does not confirm Petraeus.
Well, they're gonna hold a hearing starting next week on Petraus.
That has to happen as a new commander in Afghanistan.
Now, everybody in that committee, the Democrats, and they're the majority, the Democrats in that committee, and you're gonna hear the audio coming up in due course on the program today.
They all accused him of being a liar.
They all said he was incompetent.
They all said the surge wouldn't work, they all said the war was lost.
And for these guys to come now and confirm him?
What hypocrisy is that?
These guys intellectually honest.
They would say to Obama, this guy is gonna guarantee to lose Afghanistan like he lost Iraq.
We can't confirm this guy.
Who do you think you are?
We know that's not gonna happen.
But that would be the intellectually honest thing to happen.
And by the way, whoever is out there might be Media Matters, it might be somebody on Jim Moran's staff, Congressman from Virginia.
Whoever is out there, either monitoring this program or whoever is taking transcripts of this program and editing them and giving them to Baghdad Jim McDermott or Jim Moran so they can head up there and make statements about me on the floor of the House.
Please hear this.
To Congressman Moran, I say.
All the armed robberies against small businesses are encouraged by left-wing hate mongers like Jim Moran.
They're always trashing businessmen.
They're always trashing capitalism, they are always trashing corporations, always talking about how these people are ripping off the American people, about how they're abusing the American people.
Jim Moran and his ilk are encouraging people to steal, to rob, to threaten their fellow citizens, and hold them responsible for this kind of crime.
Hey, it's only tit for tat, Moran, if you're gonna run around there and make up things that I have not said about the census, anti-government rhetoric.
What about you and all of your rhetoric, your entire career, anti-business, anti-military, anti-big oil, anti-Walmart, anti-big drug, you name it.
Is there any wonder, Mr. Moran, why there's so much hate in this country?
It's because of people like you.
And your colleagues in the House and the Senate and everywhere else Democrats are found.
You've been ginning up hatred against private sector entrepreneurs, businessmen, and individuals for as long as I've been alive.
I also think that Moran encouraged terrorists to try and attack our country.
His constant attacks on George Bush give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Not just Moran.
Baghdad Jim McDermott goes over to Baghdad to say we love Saddam Hussein.
We don't think we should be an invasion here.
You guys have drummed up so much anti-American sentiment around the world by criticizing George W. Bush, and I think you, Congressman Moran, and you, Congressman McDermott, you too and all of your colleagues are primarily responsible for the recruitment of terrorists all over the world, not Guantanamo.
And not the war in Iraq, and not the war in Afghanistan, but people like you.
You've been running down your own country and running down your own president.
Encouraging our enemies to take action against us.
Doesn't talking up income redistribution encourage robbery, Mr. Moran?
I mean, you want to take from people something they've earned that's not yours to give to somebody you want to take from people who work, give it to people who don't work.
Does that not encourage robbery?
Are you not, in fact, robbing people yourself, Mr. Moran?
By virtue of your so-called progressive tax policy.
In fact, didn't Jim Moran cheer the looting of BP?
Didn't Moran, wasn't he all for the looting of BP?
So you guys want to play this game.
Uh, you go right ahead.
Jim Moran, I know Jim Moran is the guy who hit a seven-year-old kid.
This was long before Bob Etheridge did it.
Another Democrat.
I think Moran went out there and slugged a seven-year-old black kid.
He thought he was stealing his car.
Jim Moran thought a young seven-year-old black kid was stealing his car, so he hit him.
Now, why was the kid stealing a car?
Well, because policies made made by Jim Moran have kept people poor and minorities for the longest time.
Get Snurley get this story.
You know, I just it's from Waterville, Washington.
An argument over butter in a macaroni and cheese recipe turned into violence between a brother and sister.
Twenty-one-year-old guy called a cops on June 6th to say his 17-year-old sister tried to cut his neck with a serrated serrated edge of a spatula.
The police report said the sister was making mac and cheese when her brother asked if she was using butter.
That led to an argument over the difference between butter and margarine, and then the butter battle escalated.
The Wenatchi World Newspaper reported the girl was charged in Douglas County Superior Court with fourth degree assault.
Now, why would people be fighting over whether it's butter or margarine?
Who has made us care about the difference of butter?
Would it not be people like Jim Moran and Baghdad Jim McDermott and all of these nanny state liberals who are trying to tell us that everything's gonna kill us?
What do you bet?
What do you bet that if butter was being used, the guy thought it was gonna kill him faster than margarine would?
Or vice versa, who knows.
So a serrated, sarcerated Ed spatula.
Serrated Ed Spatch used as a weapon?
Sounds like what happens in my house every night.
I don't know about you.
An argument over butter and margarine.
Have you seen the polling date today?
Nobody's nobody's approving of anything going on in the country today.
Even the drive bys are asked, is there any good news out there?
And I said, yes, there is some good news if you're Jimmy Carter.
Finally, somebody's come along, obviously a worse president than you.
So we know Jimmy Carter's at least happy.
Can you imagine if this woman was trying to make McNuggets along with the mac and cheese?
You got an argument here over margarine and butter in the mac and cheese, and then you throw on top of it chicken McNuggets.
We might have gotten a knife out of the drawer and not settled for a serrated spatula.
Look at all this angst.
Look at all this squabbling that's being caused over meaningless things.
Butter versus margarine.
I'm Rush Limbaugh.
This is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network Quick Telephone Call.
We're gonna start with Marco in Charleston, South Carolina.
Great to have you on the program, Marco.
Hello.
Hey, Russ, it's Michael in Charleston.
Michael, thank you very much for the call, sir.
Yeah, listen, Russ.
I last spoke to you in uh 07 when my son-in-law was killed in Afghanistan by Taladass Sniper.
Um, you know, I think that General McCrystal knew exactly what he was doing, and he did it willingly.
I think that he fell on the proverbial sword and willingly gave up his career for the guys that he's leading in Afghanistan because of what's going on over there.
I think that uh because that he printed his resignation, this is gonna cause everyone to have a laser-like focus on what exactly is going on over there and have to review everything and maybe change some things for the pastor away for the guys that are over there with the black.
Let me uh jump in here as host.
I tell you, we're we're gonna have an extended uh we're gonna have an extended segment on this.
The whole McCrystall and Petraeus thing in the next hour of the program.
Uh and I know a lot of people think that McCristol tened his resignation uh to cause everybody to have a laser-like focus on what is exactly going on over there.
Uh and to review everything.
Uh, many people are opining on this.
One of the one of the uh stark opinions that I've seen that might be John Pedoritz, I'm not sure what is, said that regardless, now Obama owns this, and he he's gotta let he's gotta let Petrae do what he wants to do.
He go out and get Petraeus save the day here.
He can't now turn down what Petraeus asks for.
Because he's now demanded unity.
And everybody, you know, no division.
So what's happened here is it in some people's opinion, look at what's happened here.
In order to save his bacon, Obama's had to go get a Bush general his party hates.
In order to save his bacon in the war in Afghanistan.
And despite Obama being the commander-in-chief, it's really Petraeus now because he holds all the cards because he is the safety valve.
But there's Mark Ambinder in the blog out there at the Atlantic.
And buried in a long piece about McChrystal.
Listen to this now.
This is a Mark Ambinder in the Atlantic.
Now it can be told, the story about McChrystal voting for Obama is not contrived.
He is a political liberal.
McChrystal is.
He is a social liberal, and he is an wacko environmentalist liberal.
He banned Fox News from the television sets in his headquarter.
He has banned fast food, Burger King, and all that from his headquarters and in uh people in his command.
And Minders, yeah, really, this serves to put to rest another false rumor that McChrystal deliberately precipitated his own firing because he wants to run for president.
This, if this is true, and I have no doubt, Mark Ambinder in the Atlantic.
This explains why trust in some reporter from Rolling Stone.
If this guy is as far left as he is, and by the way, if this is true, and I happen to believe it now, if this if this is the case, uh you you you you you can't say that Obama got rid of this guy or or McChrysle are two peas in a pod here.
The guy voted for Obama.
So uh what whatever PR somebody wants to attach, Obama just got rid of a like-minded soul, except for the fact that McChrystal likes to pull a trigger and kill the bad guys, Obama doesn't.
McChrystal likes to win, Obama doesn't.
But now Obama has been maneuvered into a position where the only option is to win because that's what you go get Petraeus for.
That's why you get rid of McChrystal.
So now Obama's really screwed himself at a left-wing base because he's made it clear he's hired Bush's most hated general, the successive architect of Iraq of the surge, counter-insurgency strategy, and charged him with winning.
What do you bet that July 11th withdrawal date gets moved now?
Whatever Petraeus wants, folks, we will see.
Try this story.
This is this is from the uh Victorville, California Daily Press.
Parent brawl breaks out during kindergarten graduation.
Now you talk about anger over meaningless things.
What in the world is there to get in a brawl about at a kindergarten graduation?
Well, it could be.
Maybe they were serving butter and mac and cheese at the kindergarten graduation.
Or maybe there weren't any McNuggets.
You never know.
Now, this Ambinder piece documenting the far left wing liberalism of Stanley.
McChrystal kind of puts their the uh this McArthur comparison in uh in perspective, does it not?
Uh and it puts the rest to it as well, because here's you know, McArthur, when they tried to say this is Obama, he says every bit is tough as Truman.
Well, that's this kind of blown to hell now.
That uh that whole analogy.
I think I think what happened is I think about this kindergarten brawl, a parent brawl, a kindergarten graduation, obviously.
Um it has to be this.
It has to be one of the parents showed up and and discovered that the kindergarten made their kid fat.
And didn't know it until they got to the graduation.
And one parent's Kid did not get fat.
And it it's it's gotta, it's gotta it's gotta be organized around one of these possibilities.
Why do you listen to this program?
Here is why.
This is me yesterday.
The president came out smelling like a rose today.
He showed he is the commander.
Stop the tape.
My mistake.
I told a broadcast engineer to go to the wrong cut.
Well, it's right, it's number five.
Then number six.
Why do you listen?
Everything here's beta.
Why do you listen to this program?
This is why.
This is me yesterday.
Yeah, he's let BP run the show said now, now he's untapped things.
He's got he took care of a crystal.
It's gonna help him out here.
Looking like a leader now.
That's what the spin's gonna be.
Obama finally taking control.
Obama finally kicking ass.
Obama finally asserting his authority here.
Yeah, right to the the political how Obama asserted control or power or whatever.
And here's a media montage to say that.
The president came out smelling like a rose today.
He showed he is the commander in chief.
Obama's done very well at asserting himself as a commander in chief.
The good news is you got a commander in chief that took decisive action.
There's no question who the boss is.
It's the commander-in-chief.
It was a brilliant and inspired move to look to General Petraeus.
I would rate this as one of the best decisions he's made as president.
He managed a brilliant choice, and General Petraeus a very brilliant move to tap General Petraeus.
It sounds like a pretty brilliant decision.
It seems like a brilliant choice.
Petraeus was a brilliant choice.
It's going to be seen as a brilliant choice by the president.
The recruitment of General Petraeus for this new assignment is brilliant.
It's perfect.
I don't, I really do not understand any of this.
These people all ripped Petraeus to shreds.
Every one of these media people, and every one of these people in this bite that are not media, like Fran Townsend, well, they're all media now, I guess.
Brilliant choice to choose Petraeus.
Wait till you hear the soundbites we have coming up illustrating what people like this were saying about Petraeus during Iraq.
But let's put this in perspective.
The best decision Obama ever made to go with George W. Bush's general?
Do they not realize that's what they're saying?
The best decision Obama ever made is to go back to George Bush's general.
I mean, that's honestly, folks, that's the take.
The president came out smelling like a rose today.
He showed he's a commander-in-chief.
That's Wolf Blitzer.
What do you mean he showed his commander in chief yesterday?
What's he been doing for the past 18 months?
These people not realize how they sound.
Do they not realize what they're saying?
For the first time in 18 months, we're proud of him.
It's like kind of Michelle said, you know, for the first time in my life, I'm proud of my country.
Well, these guys are saying for the first time in the last 18 months, I'm proud of my president.
Why today he's not alike commander in chief?
Why today he took control?
What are some of these other quotes?
Uh Obama's done very well asserting himself as commander-in-chief.
Asserting.
The good news is you got a commander-in-chief that took decisive action, it's Barry McCaffrey.
What the hell?
You mean it's a crapshoot when we elect somebody?
It's a crapsh yes, in this case it was a crapshoot, and all these comments prove it.
That's why you listen.
Oh, yeah, folks, I love it.
Best decision Obama ever made to go with George W. Bush's general.
Huh.
Doesn't Obama run around and hasn't he running?
Still does.
Complaining about what he inherited from Bush.
He's just inherited his general.
He just inherited Petraeus.
Folks, I love this.
So is he gonna start complaining about having inherited Petraeus from Bush?
Things go wrong over there.
And how how decisive is it to fire somebody and then realize you don't have anybody else who can replace him?
So you have to make his boss do his job too.
He didn't know anybody else in the military other than Petraeus because the Senate hearings where he didn't like him.
This is a joke.
