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 why you're here.
And you know what day it is.
So I don't need to say any of it.
We can just get started.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
That's right.
And I'm your host, the one and only Rush Limbaugh.
Often imitated, never duplicated, never equaled here on the EIB network.
Utilizing talent on loan from God.
Don't doubt me.
Open line Friday, whatever you want to talk about for the most part, we'll talk about.
800-282-2882 is the telephone number.
I misspoke.
I said the Centers for Science of Public Interest made 17 billion, 17 million.
They're a nonprofit, 17 million.
They made last year.
They have a total of 80 million dollars in the bank.
Maybe they should, maybe they should take some of that 80 million dollars and practice what Obama preaches, spreading it around.
Like to poor kids who have pre-existing conditions and can't get medical care from those horrific insurance companies and who are obese because they're eating all this horrible food that the Center for Sciences of Public Interest disapproves of.
What is a public interest group that cares about people supposedly doing hoarding 80 million dollars?
What are they doing?
Earning 17 million dollars.
Why didn't anybody ask how the hell are they doing that?
And what are they doing for it?
And what are they using it for?
Here, grab audio soundbite uh number what is this?
13.
At least that's what it is.
Let me check here.
Just a second.
Is it 13?
No.
Uh I just got it.
26.
This is the Center for Science of Public Interest montage.
Never mind.
Nobody's talking to me, so I don't know.
Okay, all right.
Here it is.
This this is for my TV show back in February of 1996.
Uh this is a montage of the people at the Center for Science and the Public Interest, Michael Jacobson and others.
Uh, and you'll hear some audience laughter in here.
Soda pop has been shown to promote obesity in children.
This is Gerber's best-selling product, bananas with tapioca.
It has only half the banana content of plain banana product.
Who would have guessed that one Belgian waffle has as much saturated fat as two quarter pounders?
Movie theater popcorn is certainly one of the single worst foods you can buy.
I'm sorry to say we found that Mexican food is loaded with salt.
Here are nine strips of bacon.
Here are three glasses of two percent milk.
Would you believe they have the same amount of saturated fat?
The tuna salad.
What a disappointment.
Kung pow chicken has as much fat as four McDonald's quarter pounders.
Mint chip dazzler.
A full day's worth of fat, two full days' worth of saturated fat.
That's who these people are.
That's who they are.
They're no different than Al Gore and his stupid movie.
They're no different than the lying hoaxers from Global Warming.
But beyond that, it's none of their business what anybody eats.
And I keep bringing this up because the McDonald's CEO told them to go pound sand.
When they threatened to sue McDonald's over the uh the toys that are in Happy Meal.
You know, that's the kind of leadership people are looking for, the kind of leadership that we're seeing from Chris Christie from Jan Brewer, the governor of Arizona.
Uh Sarah Palin, this is the kind of leadership people are looking for.
Not this.
Try this.
This is a this is uh an AP story today.
Too many Republican leaders are acquiescing to a poisonous demagoguery that threatens the party's long-term credibility, says a veteran GOP House member who was defeated in South Carolina's primary last month.
While not naming names, 12-year incumbent Representative Bob Inglis suggested in interviews with the Associated Press that Tea Party favorites such as Sarah Palin and talk show hosts are the culprits.
He cited a claim made famous by Palin as a Democrat health care bill would create death panels to decide whether elderly or sick people get care.
There were no death panels in the bill, and to encourage that kind of fear is just the lowest form of political.
This is a Republican, and he got beat in South Carolina.
This is not what people are looking for.
By the way, the new Medicare guy, this Berwick, he openly advocates health care rationing, which is why Obama recess appointed him so that he would not expose all of this in testimony during confirmation hearings.
They didn't want anything this guy says to be heard.
Four months before an election, creating more controversy about Obamacare.
Don't try to tell me that Obama's his mindless little waif being sabotaged by left-wing staff and appointees.
These people are Obama.
That's why he picks them.
This guy is an open advocate of rationing, which is shorthand for death panels.
Anyway.
Three cheers again for Mr. Skinner, the CEO at McDonald's.
And from the AP in Germany.
Faced with a ballooning deficit, Germany's health care system, Chancellor Angela Merkel's government decided Tuesday to raise premiums and cut into the profits of doctors, dentists, hospitals, and pharmaceutical manufacturers, the decision comes.
After months of wrangling within Merkel's coalition over a fundamental overhaul of the system, and after a series of political blows to the Chancellor and plummeting support in the polls, Germany's once highly regarded mandatory health insurance covers about 72 million people, but they can't afford it anymore.
Wherever you look around the world, all the plans that our socialists in this country adore, all of the plans that they want to implement here aren't working.
They fail everywhere they've been tried.
And Germany, lest we forget, Germany was the model for Obamacare.
And now the Germans admit they can't afford it.
Interesting news out of the uh James Carville poll, the democracy corps poll.
This is James Carvel and Stan Greenberg.
Jim Garrity has looked at National Review Online's looked at it.
So is Ed Morrissey and Hot Air.
Deep in the poll, they asked, now I'm going to read you a list of words and phrases which people use to describe political figures for each word or phrase.
Please tell me whether it describes Obama very well, not too well, or not well at all.
When asked about socialist, 33% of likely voters said it describes Obama very well.
22% said well, 15% said not too well, 25% said not well at all.
Other words, 55% of likely voters think socialist is a reasonably accurate way of describing Obama.
And that's not the worst of it.
This poll had a 35-31 Democrat-Republican split.
Obama sinks underwater on job approval.
In the Carville Greenberg poll, 46 approve, 50 disapprove.
He's underwater.
More strongly disapprove, 38%, than strongly approve 27% of his performance.
Among likely voters, the gap widens to 4551, with 40% strongly disapproving of Obama's performance.
The same exact split occurs in Obama's handling of the economy.
The bottom line, and perhaps most problematic, is that Obama cannot score a majority for any of the positive qualities listed by the pollster in the survey among likely voters.
The best Obama does is a 49% for hopeful vision.
The same number for strong leader, both of which are ties.
Otherwise, Obama's underwater on every other quality mentioned.
This is the Carville Greenberg poll.
This is the Democracy Corps poll.
Sorry, poll.
A bunch of Democrats.
Now saying he pro-business.
But given his record of stoking government intervention in the private sector, creating an environment of uncertainty poisonous to business growth.
It's no wonder the president is branded with an anti business scarlet letter.
Now, this is reading here from the Heritage Foundation's Morning Bell, and they found an interesting story in the Washington Post written by columnist Farid Lakaria, in which Farid Zakaria endeavored to find out why America's 500 largest non-financial companies are sitting on 1.8 trillion dollars in cash.
And you've probably heard about this phenomenon.
There are many, many companies.
Apple computer, or Apple Inc., is sitting over $50 billion in cash.
A lot of companies have a lot of cash.
They have not in they've just keeping the cash in the bank, series of banks.
They're not investing in anywhere.
That's spending it.
And Zakaria wanted to know why.
Now Zakaria might have genuinely not known why, given he's a leftist.
And he might seriously have had the question.
Why are they sitting on all this cash?
Now people like you and I can understand the question without having to have it asked.
Or understand the answer.
I mean, if they're sitting on cash and they're not doing anything with it, they're obviously hoarding it, they're saving it.
Why would anybody do that?
It's no different than putting the money under the mattress.
Why do you think people do that?
Because they're scared to death if they do anything else with it, they're gonna lose it.
But leave it to the Washington Post to send somebody out to do an investigative column on why these evil corporations are hoarding their cash.
So Farid Zakaria went out and spoke to him.
And these business leaders said to him that it comes down to economic uncertainty surrounding new laws, regulations, and taxes, the expansion of the federal agency's authority and the unknown implications of Obamacare financial reform and cap and trade.
And the kicker.
Farid Zakaria notes that most of them had voted for Obama.
Yet all of them now believe he is at his core anti-business.
You know, folks, when I read this.
Yeah, I I'm stunned.
In one way, it is a wonder that American business has progressed as dynamically as it has in the last two decades, given that apparently most business leaders are total dumbasses.
When it comes to politics, public policy, and what governments can do to them.
I don't have a Harvard MBA.
But I don't need to head up some giant corporation or small business to understand that I'm dealing with the enemy in this regime.
All you have to do is listen to them.
When they start talking about redistribution, now maybe maybe these guys got caught up in all the crony capitalism thinking they would be on the inside.
Well, Snerdley says that they're not dumb, and I guess technically they're not dumb.
I know that technically they're not dumb, but this is like I said the other day, we need to redefine smart.
How is it that these bright-eyed, bushy-tailed business people know exactly what to do to grow their own businesses and cannot see what is being done to kill that growth by the government that regulates them?
Why I don't understand it.
Where is this relationship that government is good?
I don't think it I think they're scared to death of them and they try to make deals with them.
Uh crony capitalism and this sort of stuff, but with this bunch, we've never had an administration like this.
We've never had such an anti-business, not in our lifetimes.
Well, see, this is maybe maybe that's it.
Snurdly saying, Who could possibly believe it?
Well, I don't have any trouble believing it, Sdurdly.
Well, that's right, I know these, but how come I'm the only one that knows them?
I'm not I'm no special brain here.
Liberalism is easy to understand.
Liberalism is socialism is Marxism, and it's failed everywhere.
It's been tried.
Uh central planning doesn't work.
I mean it's nothing special to know who liberals are.
Now I know a lot of people are not ideological as I am.
I understand that, and that's got to change.
Well, you know, going back to I hope he fails, and everybody's reaction.
The reaction that that Snerdley, it was not they couldn't believe.
I mean, they knew what everybody knew what I meant.
They just couldn't believe I said it.
But they were all hoping it too.
They just wouldn't say it.
That's the difference.
I I maintain to you that most of these business titans are hoping the hell none of this stuff worked.
It's too late now, but they wouldn't say it.
Because they're scared to death.
They're regulated by the government in so many different ways.
From equaled employment opportunity to quotas to God, who knows how many ways the government can come get you.
The regime.
Well, I'm a different ball of wax.
I don't know, and it doesn't scare me.
But I don't have to answer to anybody but me.
Uh and uh and you know, the staff can't tell me what to do.
So but it uh you asking me that.
Oh no, you mean when I got fired all those times didn't scare me?
No.
No, I have never been scared to say what I believe.
No, that's true.
I've never been scared to say well.
Okay, fine.
Maybe that's unique.
I don't know.
But forget all that.
Forget what the the thing that continues to amaze me.
Now, all these guys out at the Aspen Institute, now they're realizing, or at least they're admitting, you know, these policies, this is not just an accident.
But they don't want to say that yet.
They're just they are honestly legitimately criticizing the policies.
But when it comes to motivation, they don't want to go there yet.
They don't want to say, this guy's out to destroy us.
This guy's got a big chip on his shoulder about something to do with this country.
They don't want to say that.
So the Washington Post, to get to close the loop here, sends Farid Zakaria out.
Why are you guys sitting in all the cash?
And they say, Well, we're afraid of losing it.
If we put it somewhere, we're afraid somebody's going to take it, or we're going to lose it in an investment.
We don't know what's coming.
You know, we plan our businesses years ahead.
We have business models and strategies, and we can't make any plans because we don't know what's ahead.
What it looks like is is not good.
So we're holding on to our cash to make sure we're still in business and be able to weather whatever storm comes our way.
And then Zakaria was stunned when most of them had voted for Obama and now believe he is at his core anti-business.
Remember the Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg, we mentioned this earlier this week.
He said by reaching into virtually every sector of economic life, government is injecting uncertainty into the marketplace, making it harder to raise capital and create new business.
What's all of what Obama done?
What's it produced?
It's lost three million jobs.
There's nothing good that's been produced from any policy that he has implemented.
I've got to take a break again because I'm way long, but don't go away.
All right, it's open line Friday to the phones, New Albany, Indiana, and John.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Thank you, sir.
Rush, it's gonna be a lot to digest, maybe 15 to 20 seconds worth, and at the end I'll hang up and go listen and see how goofy my voice sounds over the waves and your response, and then I'll say done and thank you.
All right.
I'd like to inform you that I pulled the plug on my cable because I believe it's global knowledge that your program is at the very least three days ahead of all news outlets, and that's why I fired my cable company.
Because I grew oh, so very painfully tired of hearing topics that you discussed or hit on days earlier, and to me, sir, that's very impressive.
My question is, why aren't the right commentators all on the same page?
I mean, look at you often have sound bites of all the left idiots, and it seems they're on the same page.
And they're pumping it out daily, but when one watches or listens to programs like yourself or the right and everyone, it seems like they're a shotgun blast.
They all hit the target.
But it wasn't the proverbial quote unquote bullsey shot.
You have your show and all its glory.
And all the big names have their show and their glory.
And their topics to me, as a concerned father, as constitutionalists and a fund lover of this Country and its history.
Maybe you should all meet in the desert or somewhere weird that no one knows about and get on the same page.
All bartend.
I'm done.
Thank you.
No, don't go away.
Are you still there?
Yes.
I I don't know what what are you asking me?
What do you ask me to comment on?
Um You're not all on the same page.
All of who.
Well, all the right common all the right commentators.
Oh, you mean the various radio and TV talk show hosts.
Correct, sir.
You think everybody on the left says the same thing every day, every night they're coordinated, but we on the right are not.
Right.
And you want to know, and you want to know why.
Right.
Everyone, it's like a shotgun blast.
I mean, it's every night, you know, you get a lot of people.
You know what?
You know, I already have a dwindling number of friends on my side of the aisle.
If I if I answer your question honestly, I won't have any friends left on uh my side of the aisle.
Hi, Katie.
Catherine just walked in.
I hey, I I just I just what snurdly?
What?
I can't answer the guy.
If I answer the guy's question, I don't have any friends left.
If I answer I would I I before I get into that, I just got a note, and I need you to help me understand this.
Because I here's the note.
Maya culpa, anti-biz rep was before Obama spoke.
Once he made another historic address, they'll know he's pro-business.
They are the media.
What do you have any idea what that means?
I don't either.
I'm um.
Now, as t as to uh why conservative commentators don't appear to be on the same unified page as the left is.
Well, the first place, the left all get talking points from someplace.
Either the White House or the DNC or uh somewhere.
Uh I know to get talking points, and if I did, I wouldn't open them.
I make the talking points.
The talking points see here I go, though.
If I I cannot answer this question and and and and hold on to any friendships that I've got.
And of course, naturally, the staff want, oh, come on, it'll be okay.
Come on, go for it.
The audience wants to know.
How come you say what you say and it pops up sometime later elsewhere, and you guys don't seem to be all coordinated on the same page.
There's I there's there's there is a perfectly simple and on the money answer, but it serves me no good purpose to answer it.
It just there's it.
Open line Friday doesn't matter.
There's a no-win in answering the question.
Charles uh yeah, it's not no win Friday, it's Open Line Friday.
Uh okay.
Well okay, H.R. is giving me a possible answer.
I put my head down and I do what I do, and I am not responsible for what happens after that.
Snerdley is ex thinks that's a cop-out answer.
Anyway, uh Charles Charles Krauthammer today, a great, great column in the WAPO.
It's a stylistic detail, but quite revealing of Obama's exalted view of himself.
Not surprising, perhaps, in a man whose major achievement before a ceding to the presidency was writing two biographies, both about himself.
What is odd is to have a president so convinced of his own magnificence, yet not of his own countries.
There you have it.
More and more people are starting uh I I f firmly believe I'm not the only one who has realized the purposeful intent and the psychological makeup and how it motivates and animates Obama, but I was the first to say so.
And I think more and more people now are coming out and openly saying so.
And the administration's reacting to it.
What do you mean?
Of course we're pro-business.
Which uh is patently absurd.
All right, to the uh to the audio sound bites.
This is hardball last night.
Chris Matthews is uh beside himself with all the truth telling on this show.
All the truth that we are telling about Obama.
Say Pat Buchanan on last night.
Matthews says, Does this sound right?
Uh this is that li what Limbaugh's saying that this is getting even for White's success.
The white white America hates deep in his soul.
A reason he ran for president was to bring it down.
Is this a reasonable argument by anybody now?
Matthews is misstating what I've said in his question to Obama.
What I've said is I'm simply taking the words of a of a Department of Justice lawyer who repeated it to a line attorney, J. Christian Adams, who said not prosecuting the new Black Panthers is payback.
What can that possibly mean?
It's payback, though we're not going to go after black defendants.
It's payback time.
You know, I said the old the O.J. Simpson verdict was payback time.
And everybody on the left is out of reality.
Why would you say it?
How can you possibly say it?
What do you call it?
Jury nullification.
How long did that trial take and the jury's out for a couple minutes and they come back not guilty?
And it was there's no question, it was jury nullification.
The jury said, we're going to find this guy not guilty for whatever reason, so you all can figure out what it's like.
You know, we've been falsely convicted and falsely accused ever since this country was founded, so how does it feel?
And at the time, hardly anybody disputed that analysis of the jury's verdict in O.J. Jury nullification.
The evidence didn't matter.
We're gonna say he didn't do it, so we can find out what it feels like.
Well, I don't think if you're if you're intellectually honest with yourself and you look at these policies, there's there's no way.
Obama said the days of this country leaving the world are over.
He's apologized for this country every foreign trip he's made.
He clearly has a chip on his shoulder about this country.
He's redistributing the wealth of this country, he's returning it.
The wealth of this nation to its quote unquote rightful owners.
They're miserable, I mean, nobody's happy with his policies.
They're a miserable failure everywhere.
But can there be any if you if you his Chris Matthews, his preacher?
Reverend Wright, you know, maybe my problem is I'm too willing to admit what I hear is what I hear.
You people on the left, you heard Jeremiah Wright, you know who Bill Ayers is.
You know that Obama was in that pulpit or that church for 20 years.
You know he heard what the guy said.
You know he gave a half-baked denouncement of the guy during the campaign.
Uh you know Frank Marshall Davis, an avowed communist raised him.
You know his father was a communist.
You know he's got a bugaboo about this country.
You know that he doesn't like the Bill of Rights.
We've had him on tape.
The Constitution's Bill of Rights is a set of negative liberties.
It does not tell the government what it can do to people.
They don't like the First Amendment, the second amendment, the third amendment, the Fourth Amendment.
They want a revised second bill of rights that can tell a government what it can do to them.
The Constitution constrains Obama.
Chris, I mean, he said this.
Maybe my problem is I listen.
So I listen to him say these things.
I listen to what his best friends say, I look at their rage and anger.
I look at the anti-capitalist policies of every appointee and every czar.
I look at what happens, and then I look at the implementation of his economic policies to create jobs and economic growth as doing just the opposite.
I listen to all these private sector business titans now start to say, you know what?
Uh these policies are horrible.
They're not working and they won't work.
And I simply connect the dots.
Well, then why have they been implemented?
They've been implemented by somebody who, by the way, who is happily presiding over the decline of the United States, and people in the regime have used that term, the decline of the country.
This country was wrong in Iraq.
It was wrong in Hiroshima's wrong everywhere it's been to these people.
Now, you people on the left, you may not all dislike this country.
You have to admit you're a sizable contingent of your movement does.
Dislike this country, and some of them actually hate it.
All I'm saying is for the first time in my lifetime, we have elected a president who does not think Anything good of this country, that somehow it's been unjust and immoral and he's got to fix it.
Like Crowdhammer just said, here's a guy who believes in his own magnificence, but not his country's.
I mean, it is what it is.
Maybe my flaw is believing it.
Maybe my flaw is just not letting it go in one ear out the other.
So I've said all these things.
So Matthews asks Buchanan, essentially, is this the reason the guy ran for president to bring down the countries?
Is that is that a viable thing to say?
Well, no, if you say that he ran for president to bring down America, no.
But if you say that uh Barack Obama is is really not the type of, if you will, gut patriot that Jack Kennedy was and Ronald Reagan was, who would tear up at stories about American heroism.
I think Obama does believe America is guilty of a lot of sins in its history, Chris.
I think he is somewhat different than almost all the presidents we have ever had.
Well, now, uh then Pat, why did you say no if you say he ran for president to bring bring down America?
And then everything else you say agrees with me.
He said he's not really the type of gut patriot that Kennedy was or Reagan was tear up at stories about American heroism.
I think Obama does believe America's guilty of a lot of sins in its history.
I think he's somehow different than almost all the presidents we've ever had.
Yeah.
Somehow different than all of the presidents we've ever had.
Yes, and in what way?
Buchanan just described it.
So after this QA, Matthews then played a montage of of rush comments from the past few weeks.
Now he plays this montage as though what I'm saying is beyond the pale.
It's simply outrageous.
But you've heard these things because you listened to the programs.
They aired last night on Mess NBC.
Everything I say here is true.
And yet, those on the left hear this and they think it's racism or sexism or whatever ism they want to call it.
I think Obama loves drilling moratoriums.
I think he loves getting even with this country.
I think he loves punishing this country.
I think he adores the opportunity to cut this country down to size.
Obama was part of the Democrat Party cabal, hoping for defeat in Iraq is appointing people to the Supreme Court to vote down the Constitution.
First president in history, to my knowledge anyway, who actually wants his nation to fail.
Obama wants to create an illegal alien bill of rights.
We're now governed by people who do not like the country.
Who is Obama?
Why is he doing this?
Why why?
He wouldn't have been voted president if he weren't black.
And that that's that's what set him off.
And then the line that when I said if he weren't black, he'd be a tour guide in Hawaii.
Man, you ought to you ought to see the smoldering embers that were Democrat websites over at that comment.
And as usual, what sets them off is the truth.
What sets them off is the truth.
Here's Eugene Robinson calling all this racist clap trap.
Matthews says, you know, Limbaugh clearly got a pattern here of saying just what he said the other day, Gene, which is the president wants America to fail out of revenge.
This is racist clap trap.
This is nonsense.
I don't believe Rush Limbaugh actually believes half of the stuff that he said.
Barack Obama wants to create an illegal alien bill of rights.
Barack Obama's proposal for a comprehensive immigration bill falls far short of the amnesty that Ronald Reagan gave to illegal immigrants.
If he believes half of this, I would be stunned.
I think this is all about Rush Limbaugh's uh fat bank account and the fact that by saying increasingly outrageous and inflammatory and yes, racist things about Barack Obama, it stirs the waters and it makes everybody talk about him and it makes people listen to him.
Okay, so there is the learned analysis of what I'm saying.
I don't really mean it.
That was Eugene Robinson, a columnist for the uh Washington Post.
He said Barack Obama wants to create an illegal alien bill of rights.
Well, yeah, uh amnesty is the largest voter registration drive we've ever had in this country.
If you are going to oppose the enforcement of federal immigration law, why is it incorrect to say that we are creating an illegal alien bill of rights?
Barack Obama's proposal for comprehensive immigration bill falls far short of the amnesty that Reagan gave to illegal.
Uh those two are not even comparable.
What Reagan did and what Obama seeks to do?
Reagan would never sue a state.
Reagan would never encourage a boycott of one state by other states, as this regime has done.
So now, in order to deal with this truth that I utter, they now tell themselves I don't really mean it.
Well, you don't see my name listed on all those companies hoarding cash, but I tell you what, something else is patently obvious.
Eugene Robinson, uh Chris Matthews, whoever it is.
Uh you guys really need a new talking point.
Calling everybody who criticizes or disagrees with Obama a racist is just not cutting it anymore.
You you've tried to discredit all of us who disagree with Obama by claiming we're all racists, and it isn't gonna cut it because you got all kinds of people now who are as critical of this uh this regime and its policies as I have been before the regime was immaculated.
Now, this does anybody ever ask if Hugo Chavez realizes what he's doing to his country?
No, they don't.
They don't ask that.
Because everybody knows that Hugo Chavez is a socialist.
Well, the media reports I read about Chavez, there's hardly any criticism.
It's just here's the facts.
Obama, or I'm sorry, Chavez uh is nationalizing the oil business because there's an energy shortage.
Chavez is uh rationing food, Chavez, the socialist leader of Venezuela doing this, this, that there's never any criticism of it, there's just reporting of it.
But nobody ever says, gosh, does this guy know what he's doing?
So why would anybody ask, does Obama know what he's doing?
Of course he knows what he's doing.
This is not an accident.
And he's peppered, he's he's populated his administration with like-minded zombies, cutouts, rubber stamps.
You know, I marvel, you know, Van Jones ends up being exposed.
How'd that guy get in there?
Uh how did Van Jones get in?
He's handpicked precisely because what he believes.
And yet, people say Obama, you know, he's got an immigration plan that's not nearly as uh nearly as comprehensive as Ronald Reagan's.
Come on, are we idiot?
Do you really think that we're you want to try to tell us that Obama's immigration desires, his comprehensive immigration reform desires he's in any way less sweeping than Reagan's?
You really want us to believe that Reagan was more radical on immigration than Barack Obama?
You see, we all know Amnesty or comprehensive immigration reform is nothing but voter registration.
It is a in fact, more and more people are starting to see it.
Now I'm reading uh people who are now beginning to criticize Obama for a political miscalculation.
They're saying, well, it is apparently obvious Obama is trying to uh gain support of Hispanic voters in the November elections via his immigration policy.
Okay, true.
There's no question.
