Time Text
The Obama polling data out there today is not good, and the state control media is in distress.
NBC Wall Street Journal poll.
30% of the American people say they cannot relate to President Obama.
And it's that's his tip of the iceberg.
And they're all wringing their hands out there at the drive-by media.
Oil spill.
Dragging Obama's numbers down as well.
Rush Limbaugh the EIB Network 800-282-2882 and email address.
El Rushbow at EIB net.com.
I guess NBC could no longer ignore the story.
I wonder if it's painful for them to have to report this.
I mean, it has to have left a mark out there.
Because I think when I get to the details of this, I think it's much more than just the economy than the oil spill.
I think his personal numbers really are not holding steady.
They say they are.
The only thing propping him up is his personal numbers of people like him.
But I if you everything else is cratering.
And yet the likability is up.
I wonder if there's not a wilder effect in that number.
Two months of oil continuing to gush from a well off a Gulf Coast, as well as an unemployment rate, still there 10%, have taken a toll on Obama and is standing with the American public.
According to the latest NBC News Wall Street Journal poll, for the first time in the survey, more people disapprove of his job performance and approve of it.
For the first time in his presidency, more than 60% believe the country's on the wrong track.
And as he relieves McChrystal of his command in Afghanistan, Obama's scores on being able to handle a crisis and on being decisive have plummeted since last year.
side.
And indeed, the poll shows that only 6% have a favorable rating of BP.
In the history of the NBC News and Wall Street Journal poll, Saddam Hussein, 3%.
Fidel Castro 3%, Yasser Arafat, 4% have had lower favorable scores.
O.J. Simpson, 11%, tobacco maker Philip Morris, 15%, have had higher ratings than BP.
But Obama's not much better.
Only 33% believe a U.S. economy will get better in the next 12 months.
That's a seven-point drop since May.
Yet they say here the public continues to blame Bush more for the state of the economy than it does Obama.
Polster Peter Hart says the Republican Party has a major advantage in the fall, and this poll just confirms it.
The Wall Street Journal reports the poll with this headline: confidence waning in Obama and U.S. outlook.
Americans are more pessimistic about the state of the country and less confident in Obama's leadership than at any point since Obama entered the oval orifice.
The survey also shows grave and growing concerns about the Gulf oil spill.
Overwhelming majorities of adults favoring stronger regulation of the oil industry, believing the spill will affect the nation's economy and environment.
62% of adults in the survey feel the country's under wrong track, the highest level since before 2008's election.
Just one-third think the economy will get better over the next year.
Amid anxiety over the nation's course.
Support for Obama and other incumbents is eroding.
For the first time, more people disapprove of Obama's job performance and approve, and 57% of voters would prefer to elect a new person to Congress than re-elect their local representative.
That's the highest share in 18 years.
Barack Obama is destroying his party.
And he's destroying his own presidency out there.
*clap*
Now the extended stack here on the McChrystal and Petraus thing.
I'm stunned by the herd, the stampede of the herd.
Actually, I'm not stunned, but I wonder where the intellectual honesty is.
The media heard, oh, well, it's finally we got a commander in chief.
This guy has certain control.
He's showing he's not gonna mess around.
Yeah, why this guy, this guy, how Obama took over.
What?
He's the president of the United States.
He's been there 18 months.
We're getting all these stories.
Well, finally Obama shows up, is what they sound like.
So he fires McChristal.
He inherits Petraeus.
He didn't hire Petraeus.
Petraeus was there.
Petraeus hired by George W. Bush.
Obama's constantly complaining about all the problems he inherited from Bush.
Now he's inherited Petraeus.
He got Bush's general, who his party and his voters hate.
And hate it, by the way.
Move on.org has removed their Petraeus ad from their website.
Oh yes.
Remember that full page New York Times ad, General Petraeus?
It's gone.
And their good friends at like-minded Google have removed the ad from their caches, so you can't see the ad.
It's gone everywhere.
They hated Petraeus.
And now they're praising Obama for one of the smartest moves he's ever made.
And let's not forget the media.
The media was right in there bamming up on Petraeus during the hearings in the Senate leading up to the surge.
Look, it it is it is technically inaccurate.
This is another important point, I think.
Techly, uh technically inaccurate to say that Obama replaced McChrystal with Petraeus.
He didn't replace him with anybody.
We have a void.
We're down one four-star.
McChrystal was a four-star general.
He's gone.
We have not elevated anybody.
We simply took Petraeus from his CENTCCOM commander's job and sent him to Afghanistan.
McChrystal has not been replaced.
Technically.
Meanwhile, many of the same people, many of the same people who said that McChrystal had to be fired because of his criticism of the Afghan policy.
The withdrawal deadline, the rules of engagement.
The same people are now saying they hope Petraeus will stand up to Obama and get him to forget the withdrawal guideline and change the rules of engagement.
I'm I'm watching this.
Where is intellectual honesty in it?
Where is where is anybody in the media's concern for credibility?
Well, I know it sounds funny, and it is.
But we're talking about the nation at war here at the same time.
They get rid of McChrystal because he was insolent, disrespectful, critical of the president's policies.
So they go out and they get rid of him and they and they hire Bush's general.
And the same people who are mad at McChrystal for criticizing the policy now say they hope Petraeus can convince Obama to change the policy.
Were it not for me, my friends, your head would be spinning.
We're going around the world here at 360 degrees.
We can't stop.
I has stopped the globe putting the focus on all this.
Is this not?
I mean, we still have incompetence.
We have cheerleading on parade.
We do not have serious accountability going on here.
Nobody is reporting any of this accurately because it's all about Obama.
Because they know everybody in the state control media knows.
It's a disaster.
They haven't got the gust to say it, but he's an absolute embarrassment and a disaster.
That's why they're having orgasms today over what?
He hired Bush's general.
They're having orgasms because finally he's acting like commander in chief.
So the same people who said McChrystal had to go because he was criticizing the Afghan policy.
Now say they hope Petraeus will be able to convince Obama to change the policy.
The New York Times hated Petraeus so much.
They gave MoveOn.org a half-price deal on their full page, Petraeus ad.
The New York Times, and they're right in there with all the rest of them today, singing Obama's praises.
I want just one of them.
I don't care.
CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, LA Times, USA Today, Chicago Tribune.
I don't care what paper.
I want one of you just to put a, if not a headline, a subhead.
Obama turns to Bush, General.
It's the truth.
It is precisely what's happened out there.
And the the Betrayus ad scrubbed from Moveon.org's site.
And it's all gone from the Google Cash, Google, you know, left wing buddies of Moveon.org.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
This is Obama, January 14th, 2007, slay the nation.
This during a discussion about the status of the Iraq war.
We cannot impose a military solution on what has effectively become a civil war.
And until we acknowledge that reality, we can send 15,000 more troops, 20,000 more troops, 30,000 more troops.
Uh I don't know any uh expert on the region or any military officer that I've spoken to uh privately that believes that that is going to make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground.
Here's Obama.
Well, he was talking about Petraeus's surge.
No matter how many troops, it won't work.
No matter how many troops were sent.
Flashback, Biden, September 9, 2007, meet the depressed.
Tim Russert, General Petraeus said in a letter to his troops that we've not had the political reconciliation we thought we would have.
Been much slower, but there's some hope.
Then he said, My sense is that we have achieved tactical momentum.
We have arrested the initiative from our enemies in a number of areas of Iraq.
We are in short a long way from the goal line, but we do have the ball.
We're driving down the field.
Is that what you expect him to say tomorrow?
This is a question for Senator Joe Bight Me.
On the eve of the Petraeus hearings.
Here's Bite Me's answer.
I think he's dead flat wrong.
The fact of the matter is that there is that this idea of the security gains we made have had no impact on the underlying sectarian dynamic.
None.
None whatsoever.
That's the current Vice President of the United States.
See, no way the Petraeus knows what he's talking about.
Flashback, September eleventh, two thousand seven on Capitol Hill during the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Iraq.
Senator Clinton, Hillary Clinton, said this to General Petraeus.
You have been made the de facto spokesman for a failed policy.
The reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief.
She just called him a liar.
She said he's nothing more than a stooge for the White House.
Hillary Clinton, now the Secretary of State.
This was just four years ago, talking about three years ago, talking about General Petraeus, who now represents the smartest move Obama has ever made.
Flashback.
Nancy Pelosi.
August 2, 2007, PBS NewsHour.
Jim Lara.
He says to her, from your perspective, are your eyebrows moving, Nancy?
Are you okay?
Okay, well, let me continue.
He said, from your perspective, Miss Pelosi.
What General Petraeus says in September about the surge is irrelevant to uh uh on your in your mind.
The purpose of the surge was to create a secure environment in which a political progress could be made.
That has not happened.
The President's own benchmarks are not being met.
The surge was to make the area more secure so that the political solution could take hold.
And the measure will be okay.
Did the surge achieve its purpose?
Did the political progress occur?
Amending the Constitution, calling for provincial elections, having law for the fair distribution of oil in the region, reviewing the order on debathification, some of the president's own benchmarks.
Nancy Pelosi, one of the many Democrats who ripped General Petraeus.
September 11th, another flashback, 2007, Washington Capitol Hill during the Armed Services Committee hearing on Iraq policy.
Senator Obama said this to General Petraeus.
This is not a criticism of either of you, gentlemen.
This is a criticism of this president and the administration, which has set a mission for the military and for our diplomatic forces that is extraordinarily difficult now to achieve.
And there has been no acknowledgement of that on the part of this administration.
So that we have the president in Australia suggesting somehow that we are, as was stated before, kicking ASS.
How can we have a president making that assessment?
Yeah, uh, that's an interesting question.
So here's Obama talking to Petraeus, ripping Bush for saying, Yeah, we're kicking ass out there.
How can we say that?
And Obama's admitting he's looking for some ass to kick when he's the president.
On the ass, he wants to kick his BP, not the Taliban.
Flashback, September 10, 2007, Capitol Hill, the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
On Iraq, Robert Wexler, Democrat Maryland, who said he was representing Florida, questioned Petraeus.
Here's a bit of what he said.
The surge has failed.
In truth, war-related deaths have doubled in Iraq in 2007 compared to last year.
Tragically, it is my understanding that seven more American troops have died while we've been talking today.
Cherry picking statistics or selectively massaging information will not change the basic truth.
It is my patriotic duty to represent my constituents and ask you about your argument that the surge in troops be extended until next year, next summer.
I am skeptical, General.
That's Robert Wexler, calling Petraeus a liar, essentially.
And now, Petraeus, the best move Obama has ever made.
Yeah, yeah, I'm here.
All of a sudden I have become an iPhone clearinghouse.
Hey, can you can you uh can you give me an iPhone?
And I'm trying.
Because I am Rush Limboy, powerful and influential member of the media.
Your phone calls are coming up, but we're not through.
Let's return to the audio sound bites.
General Petraeus, George Bush's general, despised, hated, lied to, lied about, accused of being a liar about the surge in Iraq by Democrats and the left-wing media.
Here's Chris Matthews, another flashback.
September 12th, 2007 on Hardball.
Matthew's assessment of David Petraeus Iraq Report.
Petraeus and Crocker, this whole dog and pony show.
I'm watching this dog and pony show.
What do you make of the pony?
You're speaking while the dog.
What about the pony?
It really is a dog and pony show.
The hypocrisy and the dog and pony show.
The Petraeus dog and pony show.
Chris Matthews, also one of those now saying, smartest move Obama ever made.
Why he asserted control?
Why this is really fired that guy, he put Petraeus in there.
These people despise Petraeus.
You know, in truth, they don't.
The bottom line is they didn't despise Petraeus.
They hated Bush.
Anything associated with Bush had to fail.
So they were in a course trying to defeat Petraeus.
I mean, this is just this is this is just so delicious.
Flashback.
September 6, 2007, montage.
Chris Matthews, Keith Alberman, Jack Mertha, Jim McDermott, Susan Swain, all referring to Petraeus pending report as the Bush report.
Washington awaits the Bush report on Iraq.
President Bush, via his surrogate, General David Petraeus delivers his report.
It's not Petraeus' policy.
The report the White House is writing for General Petraeus.
The Bush report.
That was Baghdad Jim McDermott, the report the White House is writing for General Petraeus.
Flashback, September 6, 2007, floor of the House, Baghdad Jim McDermott spoke.
He said this.
We're kicking ass in Iraq might be the headline of the report the White House is writing for General Petraeus to deliver to the Congress next week.
Here's what the president's kick-ass assessment translates to on the ground.
Ten U.S. soldiers killed so far this week.
793 U.S. soldiers killed so far this year.
3,752 U.S. soldiers killed since the beginning of the war.
And 27,186 U.S. soldiers wounded since the beginning of the war.
And 71,000 documented Iraq civilian deaths since the beginning of the war, although the actual number is much higher.
So here's Jim McDermott, House floor, rebutting the president and General Petraeus on behalf of Al Qaeda.
Audio soundbite number 23.
This is Dingy Harry, April 19th of 2007, at a press conference talking about General Petraeus.
I believe myself.
And you have to make your own decision as to what the president knows that this war is lost.
This war has lost.
This war has lost.
Dingy Harry, April 19, 2007, talking about Petraeus.
It's also ironic, my friends, that uh Obama claimed yesterday he was firing the crystal because he didn't want any division on his national security team.
But in the same announcement, he said that he and McChrystal were in total agreement on policy.
He said it.
Whatever McChrystal or his aide said in the Rolling Stone article was aimed at the folks who opposed Obama's policy.
That'd be Joe Bitney, Carrie Jones, Holbrook Eikenberry.
But they're kept on.
The guy who was loyal, the guy on BHO's side, was canned.
If he really wanted to get rid of the division in his national security team, he should have gotten rid of Biden, Jim Jones, this Holbrook guy, and I canberry.
We're still not through.
Ha!
How are you welcome back, Rush Limboy?
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have a look.
I cannot emphasize this enough.
McCrystal and Obama, policy-wise, were on the same page.
They were in total agreement on policy.
You know, in this Rolling Stone piece, whatever McChrystal and his aides said was aimed at the folks who opposed Obama's policy.
And who were they?
Uh, Vice President Bite Me, uh, John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, Jim Jones, national security guy, Richard Holebrook, uh, and this guy Ikenberry.
But those guys were kept on in the national security team, and the general who was on the same page with Obama policy was, other than the number of troops on the ground.
I mean, McCrystal didn't get the boots he wanted, and he doesn't like the time frame, but in terms of everything else, they were pretty much on the same page.
So he goes.
If Obama really wanted to get rid of the division, getting rid of the general was the wrong guy to get rid of.
Get rid of the clowns and his own national security team.
Vice President, bite me, Holbrook and Eikenberry especially.
Okay.
That's where the rift is or was.
But I don't care.
Look it.
We got an inept commander-in-chief.
We got something in the media pretty much admits hasn't been a commander in chief until now, and I frankly am still not inspired.
Uh, we have the drive-by media singly ecstatic, practically orgasmic over the choice of Bush's general.
Who they all claimed to say was a lying sack of whatever, only doing Bush's bidding.
He was a sock puppet.
They impugned his honesty and his integrity.
They accused him of losing the war with his strategy.
Now all of a sudden, this is the best move.
Barack who is saying Obama has ever made.
I'm sorry, my friends.
I'm not buying it at all.
I I think I think the intellectual dishonesty, the void here of any media integrity whatsoever, to talk about what the story is really all about is striking.
They're trying to make Petraeus into William Westmoreland here.
The Vietnam days.
If that doesn't work, they'll try to turn him into Lloyd Booker, who was commanding the ship that was taken over by the Koreans or somebody border, I don't know what it was.
Having a middle block.
You remember that.
Jimmy Carter's fiance got what they Lloyd Booker, I forget what the name of the ship was.
That's right, it was a USS Pueblo.
And they they they were trying to make Petraeus, you know, Westmoreland was Westmoreland was in was lying about the body count, uh, the KIAs and so forth.
And and that that's what they've accusing Petraeus of back in 2007 was cooking the books and lying about the number of casualties.
That's what that's what Moran was all about.
Now the the the personification of the vilification of the entire Iraq strategy is a hero to these same people.
I'm sorry, folks.
I can't get on the bandwagon.
And not because I have anything pro or con about Petraeus.
I hope he.
In fact, if if if you want to go even further with this, you might say, and some might look at it as a stretch, but you might say that the uh the Rolling Stone piece has actually presented us an unexpected opportunity.
Because now the Petraeus can win the war, and there's nothing Obama can do to stop him.
Well I I it I admit that I am applying a lot of logic here.
Uh but um every everything Obama's got's now rolled into Petraeus.
I mean, they have just they they've they've they've doubled down, triple down everything is now up to Petraeus.
So if Petraeus wants to go win this thing, you know, when Obama said, I don't like the concept of victory, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So because a left-wing general somehow maneuvers himself into an interview with Rolling Stone and gets canned.
We now have a general who's going to win the war, despite what Obama wants.
You know, I I told you, if you if you if I if I might, I don't do this very often, if I might blow my own horn.
I've told you they would never close Gitmo.
I told you that all of that was nothing but a bunch of rhetoric to satisfy the lunatic, insane fringe base that populates their websites out there and their television network.
I told you they were never gonna close Gitmo.
And I'm gonna tell you right now, this July 11th withdrawal, they may bring a couple people home just to say that that, but it ain't gonna happen.
It isn't going to happen.
You mark, unless we win by then.
Because I also told you this, I don't care who they are, the biggest pacifist, the biggest sissy in the world could be president.
But if he's a Democrat, he only wants America to lose when he's not president.
The Democrats hate the military and they don't like it being victorious.
But they don't want to sit there and be saddled with the results of the military losing while they are in office.
After all, LBJ essentially lost it, but look who they ended up getting credit to it for, Nixon.
JFK and K and what's his face, LBJ essentially blew that war sky high, with the best in the brightest.
And they dumped it all on Nixon before it was all over.
Not that Nixon didn't deserve some of it, but I mean, let's face it.
That war was lost because Walter Cronkite said it was over, and even LB Jason, if I've lost Cronkite, I've lost America.
Thankfully, there is no president today who will say, oh my God, I've lost Oberman, I've lost the country.
Oh my god, I've lost Chris Matthews, I've lost the country.
That can never be said.
Oh, oh my God, I've lost Sergeant Schultz, I've lost the country.
Cannot be said.
Oh no!
Oh no, I lost Katie Currick, I've lost the country.
It'll never be said.
Oh no, I lost Diane Sawyer.
Oh no, I've lost the country.
It'll never be said.
Oh no, I've just lost Brian Williams.
You think Obama's just there.
Oh no, I just in the first place he'd ever lose these people, but even if he did, it wouldn't mean anything.
Like it did when it went when when what's his face?
LBJ lost Klondike.
Why how times change?
Yeah.
And it'll never be said.
Oh my god, I've lost Ted Baxter.
I've lost America.
It'll never be said.
Okay, um.
You mean oh wait.
I lost David Brooks.
Oh no, I've lost America.
No, it'll never be said.
Greg in Wisconsin.
Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Mega retired Air Force did it too.
How are you doing?
Very well, sir.
Thank you for calling.
Hey, I'm looking at this uh McCrystal situation and uh thinking about how the Dem are very calculating liberal.
I served 27 years in the United States Air Force.
And you're right when you claim uh we should all know by now that they they just don't like the military.
So do you think that very possibly you're either looking at this and you just touched on it to pin a loss in Afghanistan by using Petrae to pin that on Bush, but uh looking at it the other way, um Afghanistan is in war.
Biden's already said some things about um earlier this year, some successes in Iraq, and they're trying to claim uh take credit for it.
Now Petraeus goes into Afghanistan and win, or at least stabilize the country to where they can start growing uh their own government, etc.
Don't you think the ellipse would take full credit for that?
Hell yes.
Yeah, and of course they will.
But they're not they're not gonna give Petraeus the credit.
Obama will get the credit.
Because Obama had the courage and the strength, the foresight to get rid of the mad dog general and bring in this great guy, Petraeus.
Oh yeah.
That's the hope of that's that's why Petraeus has to go win this thing.
Otherwise, if if it doesn't happen, what's gonna happen?
Obama does not want to say, Oh, I inherited it.
General Petraeus, I'd heard it.
I didn't lose that war.
That was Bush's general.
I wouldn't put it past Obama to say that if things blow up over there.
We hope that they don't, by the way.

Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rex.
I have a premise before I make my comment.
Yeah.
My um I belong to the Church of Scientology, and this weekend we're gathering together at the church, and we're gonna go to the beach and we're with bags, rakes, and shovels, and we're gonna collect um all the oil that washes up on the shore.
My question is, what have you done to help protect the environment?
What have I done to help protect the environment?
I'm alive.
I lean, I live a lifestyle that uses the resources of the earth as God intended them to be used.
You know what?
I was I was I save turtles.
I turn off my lights at night.
I've been picking up tarballs off my beach on Palm Beach since 1997, before there was an oil spill.
Tarballs wash up on my beach all the time because there's always oil in the ocean.
I also have my air conditioning in my large house set at 68 degrees so that everybody working in there is productive.
And they are comfortable.
Inside my house at night, I have all the lights turned on, and outside in front, I have all the lights turned on.
I have security cameras and security beams.
I'm using electricity that is plentiful.
I am paying for it for the security of myself and my family.
I am paying my taxes, I am paying the full retail price for every service I acquire.
That's what I'm doing.
I also employ about 150 people.
I bonus them all at holidays.
I have not fired anybody, and I have not sent anybody to a beach to pick up tarballs to make them think they're doing something for the environment.
My people are productive and work.
And my company has not had a down year in twenty-one years, despite the economic cycles of our country, and despite the abominable leadership that we have in the oval orifice right now.
That's what I'm doing.
What are you doing?
You're gonna go out there and pick up tarballs, and what are you gonna do with them?
I also, ladies and gentlemen, saved you from the global warming hoax.
I, the largest voice in the world, exposing the hax, saving millions of people, millions of dollars, and saving them from reducing their lifestyle over a full-fledged lying hoax.
I speak up for liberty and freedom on a daily basis.
I am about optimism, achievement, good cheer, and happiness and contentment and the pursuit of all of it.
What are you doing?
I also take a lot of vacation time every year.
And I enjoy it, but I don't overdo it.
Sometimes I talk too much about golf on the program.
But aside from that, you have just called Mr. Perfection compared to you and what you think you're doing to save what you cannot save in the first place.
We'll be right back.
I wonder what that that that caller, by the way, that that uh just so you know.
That woman was on hold since the beginning of the program, and she said she wanted to talk about my press release today from Janet Napolitano, ordering no longer is it the BP or is it the uh the Gulf Oil spill?
It's a BP caused disaster.
Uh she wanted that's what she said she wanted to talk about.
So that woman, uh, in addition to being a sophist, was also a liar, Attempting to trick the host, but you can't do that.
I've seen every trick tribe.
I'm a highly trained broadcast specialist.
I would ask, I would ask the woman, she said she's a Scientologist.
I don't know what that has to do with anything.
She's gonna go pick up tarballs.
And what are you doing?
What are you doing to help people?
Well, I would say to um Jill was her name.
Oh, Joe, yeah, J O. Joe, what are you doing to contribute to this economy?
What are you doing to grow the economy?
What are you doing to ensure that we have the resources, the wealth, and the material available to help other people?
You seem so devoted to helping other people.
It takes resources to help other people.
What are you doing to help produce them?
Joe.
What are you doing to produce these resources?
I don't know what you're producing, but going out and picking up tarballs, which are there every day of the week for the last gazillion years.
I don't know what in Sam Hill, and there is a Sam Hill, you are doing to help anybody by picking up tarballs.
Why don't you go get an oil-soaked pelican and clean it up?
See, these people, what are you doing to help people?
Um class and dignity prevent me from detailing it.
But it's a hell of a lot.
We're out of time.
It's a good thing, too.
We'll be back after this.
