Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
You know who this is.
You know what this is.
You know how we do this.
And you know why you listen.
So let us from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And I really I can't believe we are already Friday, but here we are.
Open Line Friday, where we expand the universe.
Well, we try to expand the universe.
Subject matters discussed on the program.
It's up to you.
People on the phones.
This is a one-day a week where you can talk about whatever you want, even if I don't care.
It's not the way not the way it goes on Monday through Thursday.
So the phone number is 800 282-2882, and the email address L Rushball at EIBNet.com.
Well, another power grab took place this morning with this uh this financial regulatory reform.
Bill Obama doesn't know what's in it.
He doesn't care what's in it because all he knows is it gives him more power and more authority, and the government gets bigger, and Chris Dodds out there saying, Well, we really won't know what's in this until um until it uh gets it uh starts taking place.
We just like Pelosi, we got to pass health care to find out what's in it.
Same thing with this, another 2,000 pages.
Folks, we are being ruled by a minority.
And it is stark, this reality.
The number of Americans identifying themselves as conservative or very conservative stands at 42% according to new gallop numbers.
That is compared to 35% who describe themselves as moderate, and 20% who describe themselves as liberal.
The results are based on eight Gallup surveys conducted over the past six months.
According to Gallup's Lydia Sa'ad, the 42% identifying as conservative represents a continuation of the slight but statistically significant edge.
Conservatives achieved over moderates in 2009.
Should that figure hold for all of 2010?
It would represent the highest annual percentage identifying as conservative in Gallup's history of measuring ideology with this wording that dates back to 1992.
Gallup also found that self-identified independents are slightly more likely to label themselves moderate than conservative, 41 to 36%.
Just 19% of independents consider themselves liberal.
Now, that's fine and dead, but moderates are liberals that would have the guts to say so.
What?
You disagree with that?
I don't know.
I didn't say that.
Moderates or liberals have the guts to say so.
Moderates are a bunch of liberals who want everybody to think they're smarter than everybody else, and more tolerant than everybody else, and uh less judgmental than everybody else, and you know, more open mind.
Uh more open-minded than everybody else.
But still, doesn't matter.
We are being ruled by a minority.
Twenty percent of this country is liberal, and look what they're doing.
And there's a let me find this.
There's a story in the stack today.
Uh, you know, we we've we the the Senate shot down this latest stimulus bill, the so-called 100 billion dollar jobs bill, uh, and and it it it it ends unemployment benefits for a lot of Americans.
And it's over.
And this is this is because of the pressures of re-election.
However, I want you to listen to how I think it's uh AP might be Reuters.
I should have put this at the top of the stack.
I'm going through it even now.
It's gotta come up here pretty soon because yeah, here it is.
It's the Associated Press, Republicans kill jobless aid measure in Senate.
The Republicans can't kill anything.
It's a damn lie.
How can the Republicans kill a bill?
They they they can't kill anything.
They don't have the votes to kill anything.
All they can do is kill themselves.
Which some might argue that they're doing a halfway decent job of.
Uh, but they can't kill legislation, and yet look at this that Republicans kill jobless aid.
It's a damnable lie.
The tiny turtle causing taxing plane to return to get what is it with turtles?
Everyday turtles are in the news.
Yesterday, there was a story that BP was setting turtles on fire.
And I didn't find any confirmation.
This is out of Atlanta.
A caged two-inch turtle traveling with a 10-year-old girl caused a crew to turn around a taxiing airplane, take the girl and her sisters off the flight, and tell them they couldn't bring the two-inch pet turtle aboard.
The sisters threw the animal and the cage in the trash and returned to their seats crying Tuesday after AirTran Airways employees on the jetway said they couldn't care for the turtle while their father drove to pick it up.
Two days later, however, Carly Helm was the little kid reunited with the Nitiri.
The turtle, even though at first the family thought it was emptied with the trash, that it survived in the trash for two days.
What's that tell you about the Atlanta airport?
They don't pick up the trash for two days, no matter what's in it.
Carly was heading home to Milwaukee after visiting her father in Atlanta with her sisters Anna 13 Rebecca 22 when this flap unfolded.
Rebecca said the three were led onto the jetway and told they'd have to get rid of the baby red ear slider turtle named Netiri after the princess in the movie Avatar.
And by the way, if I'm pronouncing the name Netiri, forgive me, I haven't seen Avatar.
And they had to get rid of the turtle if they wanted to reboard.
So what do you mean get rid of it?
And they said, throw it away.
I was very sad.
I felt bad for my little sister because it was her first pet, planning to take care of it herself, and then they're telling her to throw it in a garbage.
While the sisters say they were told to put the animal in the trash, Air Trans says they chose that themselves despite an offer to fly later at no charge.
With the flight rolling toward its takeoff, and a tenant told them a turtle wasn't allowed to cabin, they had to take it back.
Rebecca Helm called her father.
He began driving back to the airport.
She asked an AirTran employee to make arrangements with her dad to look after the turtle until a dad could get there.
The employee said nope, can't do it.
We don't have facilities to care for people's pets here.
Well, they really missed a PR operator.
Now listen to the last line of this, though.
Basically, you've heard the nuts and most of the story.
AirTran told the crew member the original owners wanted it back, and the airline arranged for the turtle to fly as cargo to Milwaukee on Thursday.
Two-inch turtle and cargo.
Wonder if it survived.
Anyway, the sister's mother reported what happened to the animal rights group PETA, which sent a letter to AirTran demanding an investigation and disciplinary action.
For their part, Rebecca Helm said her sisters are very happy to have a turtle back.
So they call PETA.
They call an animal rights wacko group.
The turtle has a right to fly, I suppose.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, right.
Oh, really?
They were told they were on the Today Show today?
And they were told to put the turtle under the seat.
Well, but this story says they were not allowed on the plane, is that they get the hell off the plane.
And they threw it away.
Oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people on board the people on board the plane said it's okay, put it under the seat, but the attendants outside the airplane at the gates, it's okay, just put it under the seat.
It's when they got on board the airplane that the crew said, uh-uh, throw it away.
Okay, and then of course, call call Peter.
So we need new rules and regulations now for turtles.
We have to turn our lights off for these things.
You got me.
I don't know.
People can put their cats.
Well, the story addresses that there's something about uh reptiles and disease.
Uh reptiles are more prone to be carrying disease than mammals, like dogs and cats and uh and this kind of thing.
You remember you had the story yesterday about the fight that broke out at a kindergarten graduation?
Well, here it is.
Victorville, California, two people arrested, 20 people ID'd in kindergarten brawl.
There is I read the story, there's no word on how fat the kids are.
We were trying to think what could have caused This.
We had a call a couple of days ago from a guy who said he finally noticed when his daughter came home from kindergarten, five years old as she got fat.
Could see it every day, getting fatter and fatter and fatter.
And wonder what they were feeding her in there.
It turned out to be mac and cheese.
Then we had the story in another kindergarten where a fight broke out over Butter versus Marjorie in mac and cheese, and a serrated spatula ended up being used as a weapon.
Well, here are the details.
Two adults were arrested, up to 20 people have now been identified in a Wednesday brawl among parents during a kindergarten graduation ceremony at Puesta del Sol elementary school.
I don't remember.
You know, I went to kindergarten, but I don't recall if there was a graduation ceremony.
At any rate, sheriff's deputies arrested two women Thursday in connection with the fight, which stopped Wednesday's graduation ceremony, put the school on lockdown.
No parents were allowed on campus for the sixth grade graduation assembly on Thursday.
Yeah, we're looking at whatever we can do to hold these people accountable here, said Maureen Mills, who's the assistant superintendent.
We can't control a parent's behavior.
Okay, so we can't control the parents' behavior.
So we can't expect them to control the children.
If they can't control themselves, how can they control a kids?
At any rate, the staff handled it in a very professional way, and we will move forward.
Now, I don't know if if if this is how parents behave, maybe it is unreasonable to expect them to feed their own kids.
I may have to revise my thinking on this.
You know, with kids uh starving to death uh because there's no school in the summertime, and doesn't make sense to me.
We're the parents here.
Well, maybe it is unreasonable to expect these kinds of things.
They're gonna get into a fight at a kindergarten graduation ceremony.
Maybe it is expecting a lot to expect them to feed their own kids.
I went to the comments, this is the uh uh the Daily Press, Victorville newspaper, and went to the comments section here.
Um listen to this.
Uh Monifa wanted to sit all of her family up front.
Juanita had 13 spaces saved.
Monifa said she'd pay, but Juanita didn't have an EBT card reader on her.
Her son hadn't stolen it yet.
This is a comment.
One of the one of the people at this brawl put a comment here what happened.
So somebody hadn't stolen a card to be able to pay for the seats.
Uh some days, you know, you read the news and you say it doesn't matter what Obama does.
We're gonna do it to ourselves first.
Open line Friday Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
We will get to your phone calls ill quick oh.
I got an email from a friend this morning, very proud uh for his son.
His son got an email yesterday from uh from a guy at a company that hires summer part-time employees for a big computer gaming company, and his kid got hired for the summer, not as an intern, but a real job, and he's very proud because this his son is immersed in animation, creating animation for computer games, smartphone games and so forth, and I said, Well, congratulations, look out.
He might become a millionaire someday, and Obama will end up taking 70% of it.
Which takes me to this financial reform regulation bill.
Key House and Senate lawmakers agreed on far-reaching new financial rules early Friday.
Folks, this is an abomination.
Wait till you find out what's in this.
I was listening to uh Judge Eddie Munster, uh uh uh Andrew Napolitano on Fox today uh when I was driving in, Stuart Varney, and they were giving details of this.
It's a it's when if you listen to the state controlled media talk about this, it is they're all getting Democrat Party talking points and they're regurgitating it as news.
Uh Judge Napolitano said that this is so far reaching, gave this example.
If you have to take out a loan to do some orthodontics work on your kid, a federal agent will have the authority to deny you the loan or to inspect it and uh give you and or the bank a lot of trouble over it.
I mean, the loss of liberty may be even greater in this bill than in the healthcare bill.
Uh Virtually every financial institution is serving and operating at the whim of whatever federal bureaucracy or agent or person assigned to it.
If some bureaucrat thinks that Bank X is headed for big trouble, it can take it over, or they can shut it down.
And there's no recourse.
And all this is said to be protecting the consumer.
And they're trying to sell this thing by saying, well, yeah, but there really are some improvements here in credit card companies.
They can't screw you with the interest rates.
Well, there may be some of that in there, but it's not offset by all the horror that is in this piece of legislation.
Anytime, folks, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd got a standing ovation from their colleagues early this morning when this thing was struck with a deal.
Anything, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd get a standing ovation on is something to be really, really worried about.
Here's Barney Frank, 533 this morning.
This is the sound of Democrats seizing control of the U.S. economy.
With the votes of the House and the Senate, conferees in favor of passage of the bill, I declare the bill passed, and the conference committee is now adjourned.
In the standing oh, and here was Chris Dodd this morning on Capitol Hill, after the conference committee meeting had adjourned, he said this.
No one will know until this action is in place how it works.
We believe we've done something that has been needed for a long time.
It took a crisis to bring us to the point where we could actually get this job done.
What job?
No one, let me you didn't hear this.
No one will know until this is actually in place how it works.
It's 2,000 pages.
No one will know until it's in place how it works.
Well, I can tell you, I can tell you how it's going to work.
You lose liberty, the government gets bigger, they take over more and more of the economy, and the only bad guys here are Wall Street firms and banks.
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, not touched by this.
Government excess, government irresponsibility, government uh lawlessness, not affected by this.
Another missile salvo fired right into the heart of the private sector.
Well, these tax rate increases coming in January associated with health care and whatever is in this that we will not know until it's actually in place.
We're all going to end up, and certainly your kids and grandkids are all going to essentially end up working for the government.
And this is a point that I think is really not emphasized enough here.
The more money they take, and however they take it, the more money they take out of the private sector, the less liberty we have, both in terms of the time that we are forced to spend each day working not for our families, but to feed this ever-growing government, combined with the inability to use our money to ensure our own security and pursue our own dreams because our disposable incomes are going to shrink and shrink and shrink.
All of our work will be, or the vast majority of it will be to feed government.
We are being forced now with legislation that the author says nobody will know until this is actually in place how it works.
We are being forced to pay for someone else's goals and desires.
Obama's and the Liberal Democrats.
While they deny us our own goals and desires, it all gets back to liberty.
It all gets back to the fact that this administration, this regime is hostile to liberty.
Obama does nothing to protect or expand liberty.
Everything he's done has taken a bite out of everybody's liberty.
He does nothing to protect it, nothing to expand it.
In fact, Obama Believes that we must lose our liberty to make his goals possible.
Central command.
Central planning.
That's what these people believe is the only way to have a fair and just society.
That's what higher taxes and more government spending, more government debt is all about.
Transferring not just wealth from your family to the government, but something else.
Your liberty.
Smothering your liberty to empower the government.
Obama's entire ideology based on the denial of liberty and choices and opportunities to the people to empower the government.
This is an administration, this is a regime.
To me, looking on as a somebody like all of us are going to be affected by this.
This looks like somebody who doesn't like liberty, who thinks the problem with this country has been too much liberty.
So central planning is going to take over more and more of assigning dreams, goals, and whatever.
He loves authority.
Authority.
That's what's driving all of this.
And greetings, welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence and Broadcasting Network.
Great to have you here, my good friends.
Well, we just lost email here, and I'm seeing if I can get it up on my Wi-Fi on the iPad.
If I can't, I'm going to have to go to 3G.
Because the email is, eh, it looks like the life wise network is 3G.
Well, I'll do that in the next break.
I want to keep on with this Obama business because if you stand in his way, and we see this each and every day.
If you stand in his way, you are the enemy.
You are to be besmirched, you are to be punished.
Obama will seize your money, redistribution.
He will seize your free speech, the disclose act.
I think the House has passed the disclose act.
This is their counter to the Supreme Court ruling that permitted corporations once again to get involved in electoral politics.
Disclose would require grassroots people to it would subject them to all kinds of investigations.
It would eliminate certain kind of grassroots organizations from participating in politics via financial donations.
Obama will gonna he will seize your future with mandates and regulations.
Look at what he did with the uh the attempt here at the oil moratorium.
And when the judge slapped it down, he said, okay, we'll just do it again.
So if you stand in the way, you are the enemy.
Authority control power.
This is what defines Obama's ideology.
Now, as for his personal personal abilities, you know, people continue to ask me, Rush, is this guy really this sneaky smart or is he really just ignorant?
My friends, like most authoritarians, he is an incompetent with no real world experience.
We know this.
It's a community organizer.
He has no real world experience in anything.
But he's stubborn, he's unwilling to learn from mistakes, such as the stimulus.
This is the third stimulus now.
Are we ready to admit now the stimulus has not created jobs?
They have revised the economic growth rate down to 2.7%.
That's a big economic news today.
We've seen the foreclosures are up and existing home sales are way, way down.
There's no new jobs are happening of any significant number.
It's been a year and a half since the stimulus, and we are ready to admit that it was a mistake.
Yes, everybody knows it was, but Obama.
Not a mistake.
He's not capable of making mistakes.
That's his ego.
He's petulant.
He cannot take any criticism and doesn't abide it.
Look at this phony financial regulatory bill.
He doesn't know what's in it.
Two thousand pages.
And he doesn't care.
Because what he does know is that it means more power for him, more power for the government, less freedom for financial institutions and the public.
So he supports it.
Same thing with the government-run health care.
And that 3,000 page bill.
Same thing with Cap and Trade.
Doesn't care what's in it.
The end result is it's more government, bigger government, more authority, And less liberty.
He doesn't read this stuff.
Apparently, Chris Dodd didn't read it either.
No one will know until this is actually in place how it works.
So most of the people voting on it haven't read it.
But it advances the transformation from liberty to the most expansive government we could possibly imagine, grabbing power from the individual, taking it for themselves.
And all of these bills are built on that same ideology: the destruction of individual unalienable rights and the promotion of government power.
In this financial regulatory reform bill, there are several unconstitutional aspects.
You cannot have property seized.
They can seize your property.
Look at BP.
They can get in the way of a private loan transaction you make for whatever purpose.
And if they don't approve of it, you won't get it.
A teary-eyed Christopher Dodd.
It's a great moment.
I'm I'm proud to have been here.
No one will know until this is actually in place how it works.
But we believe we've done something that's been needed for a long time.
It took a crisis to bring us to the point where we could actually get this job done.
A crisis created in part by you, sir.
The subprime mortgage crisis.
And your assistance, of course, from Barney Frank and Bill Clinton and all the rest.
Lest we uh by the Brian, is the HD Ditto Cam still out as well.
All right, the the uh standard definition, like Windows Media Player, Real Player, those uh those are still working.
We've lost the HD feed of the uh of the ditto cam.
I know you know it.
I just want you to know that we know it too.
We're not a phone company.
We know what's going on inside our own shop.
Now, lest we forget here something uh, folks, intelligent rules of lending were followed by the banks until government intimidated lenders into stupid practices to accomplish social policy, i.e., subprime mortgages.
Now, the government is gonna make the practices they forced the banks to resort to to protect themselves illegal.
The government forces these loan policies now tells the when when it when everything blows up on them, it somehow it's the bank's problem and Wall Street's problem.
They forced the banks to resort to this.
And now, without changing the law that forced the banks to give bad loans, the banks are still gonna be blackmailed into giving bad loans.
This is what this is all about.
This is all about social policy, social justice, or what have you.
If the bank doesn't loan money to the right people, this legislation allows them to shut down the bank.
I mean, it is far-reaching.
I'm not exaggerating.
It's arbitrary.
The government, under the guise of making sure we don't have a collapse, can shut down any financial institution if some idiot in the government thinks it's about to go belly up, or for any other reason.
The banks are still going to be blackmailed into giving bad loans, they just won't be allowed to foreclose, as if all of that is their fault.
As far as Obama's concerned, he wasn't even an effective community organizer.
He can't point to a single significant accomplishment he achieved after years of being one.
So it's uh it's a depressing day on that score.
This um we all know it was coming.
Republicans can't stop it.
There was no way they don't have the votes.
And uh uh, ladies and gentlemen, they are going to continue with this kind of thing.
They're gonna go cap and trade, they're gonna go card check, they're gonna try to get all this done stuff done before November, and if they don't, believe me, in what is known as a lame duck session after the November elections and before the new Congress is sworn in next January, they're gonna try to ram through as much of this kind of stuff as possible.
This is what they've all lived for, and they're gonna have had a two-year window to get much of it done, and they are going to do it, and they'll how anybody feels about it or how they're affected by it.
And those who are defeated in November will be voting on all this stuff that nobody wants, just like they didn't want the health care reform bill.
Here's Pelosi.
Now Remember, we just we said Dodd, who just blatantly honestly said nobody will know what's in this.
Nobody will know until this is actually in place how it works.
Here's Pelosi last March the 9th.
We have to pass the bill so that you can uh find out what is in it away from the fog of the controversy.
So this is the Democrat mode of governing.
Pass it first.
We read it after and find out what's in it.
Here's Obama.
This morning in Washington, outside the White House, before leaving for the G twenty summit in Toronto, had a few remarks to make.
We are poised to pass the toughest financial reforms since the ones we created in the aftermath of the Great Depression.
Early this morning, the House and Senate reached an agreement on a set of Wall Street reforms that represents 90% of what I proposed when I took up this fight.
Now, let me be clear.
Our economic growth and prosperity depend on a strong, robust financial sector.
And I will continue to do what I can to foster and support a dynamic private sector.
We've all seen what happens when there is inadequate oversight and insufficient transparency on Wall Street.
Just, I mean, folks, my blood boils when I hear stuff like this.
He doesn't know the slightest thing about growing the private sector, and he doesn't care about growing the private sector.
I got 90% of what I wanted when I took up this fight.
Now let me be clear.
Our economic growth and prosperity depend on a strong robust financial sector.
And I'm going to continue to do what I can to foster and support dynamic What the who the hell are you?
I'm gonna do whatever I can.
Whatever happened to we.
I'm gonna do whatever I can to foster and support dynamic private sector.
Meanwhile, a treasury secretary, little Timmy Geitner says the U.S. can no longer drive global growth.
This is a coordinated statement.
Obama said it yesterday.
It was the last soundbite of the day that we had.
Timothy Geitner has told the BBC that the world cannot depend as much on the U.S. as it did in the past.
He said that other major economies would have to grow more for the global economy to prosper.
He also played down any differences in policy between the U.S. and Europe regarding deficit reduction.
Now, this is this is uh uh uh classic.
This is this is exactly what Obama wanted.
The U.S. with no power in the world.
And they're proud to say this.
Obama said it yesterday, and here's Geitner saying it today, and they're proud.
No longer can the U.S. drive global growth.
He also said different paths means Europe is running away from socialism while we embrace it.
That's what he said.
It played down any difference in policy uh between the U.S. and Europe regarding deficit reduction.
He talked about the different paths Europe is taking to deal with their problem from our path.
He said the U.S. and Europe would take different paths at a different pace in order to reach the common goal.
Well, what is Europe doing?
They're running away from socialism.
They have to.
They can't afford it anymore.
We are running dead straight for it.
They're running away from socialism while we are beginning to embrace it, as we are governed by a 20% minority who has it in for this country like you would not believe.
Somebody needs to ask Obama, some some well.
I know it's not gonna happen.
Some some press person needs to say, uh, Mr. President, what exactly have you done to foster and support private sector growth?
Can you name one thing, Mr. President, you have done that has caused private sector growth.
He'd say health care.
I'm sure he'd say health care and no this and all sure he'd say it, but it's not it's not true.
Obama said, uh that about the U.S. can no longer pull a train for the world economy.
He said all that yesterday while he was pushing for Russia and Putin to get into the World Trade Organization.
Putin, Russia, those are the kind of people Obama wants to lead the world economy.
Not us.
And at the same press conference yesterday, Obama bowed to Putin's puppet, this Medvedev guy, more than he's bowed to everybody, and he's a master of bow boy diplomacy.
This guy knows how to bow.
In fact, there's a new we ought to establish that as a term for how Obama engages the world.
Bow boy diplomacy.
Let's stick with the audio sound bites.
Here's Obama.
This is uh this this morning, outside the White House before leaving for Toronto.
Audio soundbite number seven.
We'll put in place the toughest consumer financial protections in our history while creating an independent agency to enforce them.
Through this agency, we'll combine under one roof.
The consumer protection functions that currently are divided among half a dozen different agencies.
Now there'll be one agency whose sole job will be to look out for you.
Uh that's already being done.
Ted Baxter's already doing that, uh, Barack.
Ted Baxter's already looking out for us.
I don't know what the government is looking out for us.
That's that's I don't want the government looking out for me in this kind of way.
We'll put in place a toughest consumer financial protections in our history while creating an independent agency to enforce them.
Independent?
It's gonna be part of the regime.
Through this agency, we'll combine under one roof the consumer protection functions that currently are divided among half a dozen different agencies.
And now there'll be one agency whose sole job will be to look out for you.
Uh Fox News already has that wrapped up, eight o'clock every night.
Looking out for you.
To recall, by the way, I want you to.
Here's Mark Knowler.
This is uh uh a question that Obama got uh before leaving for Toronto.
Mark Knowler, CBS Radio White House correspondent.
Can you get the bill from the Senate?
You bet.
You bet, can you get the building to say you bet.
No question about it.
Here's Timmy Geitner.
This is yesterday interview with the BBC.
I think the world understands now that the world growth in the future around the world can't depend as on the United States as much as it did in the past.
So for the world to grow together, you can have to see more growth in the other major economies, too, not just in the emerging markets, which are very strong now in the United States.
Okay.
Uh growth in the future around the world can't depend on the United States as much as it did in the past.
We're admitting it.
The regime's leaders are admitting we're not going to be an economic engine of growth.
Obama said it yesterday.
This is how he said it.
The U.S. economy for a long period of time was the engine of world economic growth.
We were sucking in imports from all across the world, financed by huge amounts of consumer debt.
Because of the financial crisis, but also because that debt was fundamentally unsustainable.
Yeah.
The United States is not going to be able to serve in that same capacity to that same extent.
Yeah, because you people, what he's saying is you had so much consumer debt that you're not going to be able to expand your lifestyles anymore.
You're not going to be buying a bunch of products because we're not going to let you.
That's what the financial reform bill is all about.
We're not going to be we're going to let you do be too much consuming.
Besides, you're not going to have enough money to do any consuming because we're going to raise everybody's taxes.
And therefore, there won't be any private sector economic growth, and therefore there will no be not be any engine of economic growth.
That is the United States of America.
Ain't gonna happen.
Get used to it.
This is what the American people voted for 18 months ago.
Now, this next, this next is appalling and it is groveling at its most abject.
This is Obama at the press conference with Dmitry Medvedev.
Just listen to this.
Soundbite number 11.
The generation that stood together as allies in the Second World War.
The Great Patriotic War in which the Russian people suffered and sacrificed so much.
