Time Text
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think we're up to soundbite eight and in order.
We get back to them.
Did I get a confirmation on that?
Good.
Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Well, I need another day, hear me.
Uh telephone number 800 282-2882.
If you want to be on the program and email address, Lrushmole at EIB net.com.
Uh Facebook took down North Korea's Facebook page.
I put it back up, though.
The Norks have a Facebook page.
They have 3,0173 friends.
We're up to 700 and what is it?
Sixty 761, 762,000.
We've got another iPad winner today.
We got four more to go.
The fifth winner is John G of Sawanee, Georgia.
Now to be registered, you have to become a friend of ours at Facebook.
It's Facebook.com slash Rush Limbaugh.
We started the page actually to um make public about 20 pictures from our wedding.
We originally weren't going to do it.
We don't live our lives in public, we try not to, but these things came back and we showed them to some friends, and they said you've got to let some people see these.
It's just they're wonderful.
And they are.
So my arm was twisted.
We started the Facebook page.
Wedding photos are up there, and now, you know, we update it with some stuff.
My brother's book is plugged up there now.
Zeb Chaffet's book is plugged up there.
We link a couple stories from each day.
They're hot and heavy.
And you also go there to register for the free iPad giveaway.
Nine iPads in total, 64 gigabyte, 3G capable.
Each engraved on the back with my signature and the EIB logo.
We have drawings every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
So have another drawing late tonight.
We'll announce the winner tomorrow, so forth and so on until August 30th, when all of them have uh been given away.
And by the way, we're toying with the idea of adding some stuff to the winners, like some merchandise from the uh from the EIB store.
471,900 plus friends.
The North Koreans, 3,173.
What does that tell you?
What?
What kind of price?
Oh, the Norks?
What kind of prizes?
A grass sandwich.
Uh Cockroach Cocktail.
Who knows what they give away on the North Korean page.
Jennifer Rubin at Commentary Magazine.
How bad is the ground zero mosque story for the White House?
Bad enough that Obama advisers are pointing fingers at the president and trying to absolve themselves of the fiasco.
The politico is reporting that prior to the decision, Rahm Emanuel and Obama's communication staff vividly and presciently predicted that Obama would be handing Republicans a weapon to batter Democrats as weak need on terrorism three months before the elections.
In other words, it's not our fault.
Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod, the president's most devoted cheerleaders, were all for it, you see, but not Emmanuel and the communications team, because they're smart enough, they remind us, to tell Obama what a harebrain idea this was.
But it wouldn't look good, especially for Emmanuel, who has his own bout of uh not my fault media coverage earlier in the year to look so blatantly disoyal.
So he throws disloyal.
So he throws in an email.
Give me a break, Emmanuel emailed politico and asked about a press report that he had opposed Obama coming out in favor of the mosque.
We all stand behind and support the president's decision.
But on background, you guys should know not my fault.
What is clear is that Axelrod and Jarrett, arguably the most powerful of Obama's team, also possess the worst instincts from the political.
No one supported Obama more forcefully than Jarrett.
Obama's close friend and the administration's liaison to the civil rights community, who told people that she thought the mosque issue was a matter of core democrat principle.
Axelrod, a canny tactician, with a keen sensitivity to political danger, did not dissuade his boss from jumping in, citing his own parents' experience with religious persecution as Jews in Europe.
Well, Jennifer Rubin says I guess his sensitivity to political danger Was on the Fritz and his disgusting invocation of the Nazi analogy, make no mistake, the American people get the role of the Nazis in this one, and the Muslims are awarded the status of potential Holocaust victims, suggests his undiluted leftism has rendered him anyway.
Bottom line is that they're divided in the White House over this.
So I take you back to the audio soundbite with Mark Halperan, who was Scarborough today worrying on the air, why did he just leave this incomplete and unclosed as he goes on vacation?
Why did he leave the wound of the mosque at ground zero wide open?
Maybe because he wants to.
Does anybody ever stop to think that this man does what he intends to do?
That he has intended to inflict damage on the American private sector.
Does anybody doubt the possibility that Obama is look at somebody who advocates trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in Manhattan and giving him a two-year forum to bash America?
It's not a big stretch to see the same guy not having a problem with a mosque at ground zero.
What is these people are in denial?
They've got this image of Obama that they constructed as brilliant, smarter than everybody else in the room, and then when it doesn't fit, they can't double back and say, boy, what a stupid tone-deaf guy.
They have to blame us.
Imam Obama, Rush Limbaugh, calling him Obama Imam Obama.
That's why people are starting to wonder whether he's a Muslim.
No, it's because he said that he's a Christian and people don't believe him.
What is it, Snerdly?
All right.
You're asking the same question that Mark Halpern asked.
How could Obama not know what was good?
My point is he does know.
He did know.
So he he he, I know.
I don't know that he wants to blow up the Democrat Party.
I think he's willing to blow up the Democrat Party in order to get done the other things he wants to do.
I mean, when's the last time he was concerned about a Democrat winning re-election anyway, other than himself?
I mean, he'd been blowing up the Democrat Party chances ever since he started insisting on the pork of us.
Every legislative agenda item, if Obama cared about his party, he would have stopped them from doing everything they've done.
But he's been in there pushing them from behind and putting their name on it.
Remember, the White House out there saying it's not Obama care.
I mean, the bill originated in Congress.
I we have somebody here who was raised and educated to believe the worst things about this country.
And he and he thinks this country's got a lesson or two to learn.
That we've been imperialists, aggressors, uh, oppression, we've spread it all over the world.
I mean, look at his pastor said of 9-11, America's chickens come home to roost.
His pastor.
We look at, we're not stupid.
We do not believe a man who tells us he doesn't hear what his preacher says for 20 years.
For 20 years, we don't believe somebody doesn't hear the preacher.
Sorry, too big a stretch.
President Obama, Vice President Obama, Senator Obama, did what about when Ramayer said, I never heard that when I was uh Lieutenant Services.
Well, if you heard it now, well, those are videotapes out of no, they're releasing with the church.
Oh, well, no, I really haven't heard that.
We don't believe this.
Most normal people, when they choose a church, want to hear it of what pastor says and they remember it.
This guy chooses a church and then tells us he doesn't remember the thing a guy said, or he didn't hear any of that.
Sorry, we don't believe it.
So when the pastor of Jeremiah Wright's church, the man who Obama says mentored him to Christianity, said of the 9-11 attacks, America's chickens have come home to roost.
This is what happens when you murder and kill around the world.
Well, um, if that's who mentored you, if that's your pastor, forgive us, we think you heard him say It.
So it's not there for a stretch to believe that Obama might think America has a couple lessons to learn.
And one of them might be, okay, look at.
He does he not, has he not apologized?
Every chance he's had when on foreign soil for this country?
Has he not?
He must think the country's guilty.
He's out there apologizing.
Is it a big stretch to believe that he would support the building of a mosque at ground zero because we need to be taught a lesson?
Haven't it nothing to do whether he's a Muslim or not?
That we, given the way he's raised and educated, look at it's clear this man does not believe a concept of American exceptionalism.
And if you don't believe that, you don't believe in America.
But it's just that simple.
You believe in something else, and you may want America to be something else other than America, but do you hear him talking about the greatness of the country?
You hear him trying to inspire people to continue the greatness of the country?
You don't hear that.
You hear them talk about an America in decline.
They go to the G20, the G8, the G Wiz convention, they say the days of Americans leading the world economy are over.
Sorry, we hear that, and it has a specific meaning.
When his attorney general is hellbent on bringing the mastermind of the 9-11 attacks, who wants to be executed to New York City for a trial which would be near ground zero.
And we all know what this mastermind's gonna do.
He's gonna rip America to shreds.
Might find some jurors in New York who agree.
Find somebody who wants to do this.
It's not a stretch to believe that he didn't mean it when he said he supported a mosque at ground zero, that he did mean it.
What's what's for me hard to believe is the way the left wants us to believe, that he doesn't mean what he says.
Not just in this instance, but a whole lot of other things.
He's got a communications problem.
How can he be the best communicator ever and have all these problems?
How can he be the best communicator in the world and have a prompter everywhere he goes?
And if it's on the prompter, it's meant to be said.
And it was on the prompter at the Iftar dinner.
So it was intended.
It's like you videotape a TV show and you review it before it airs.
If it goes, you intend for what's seen to be seen.
Otherwise, you'd edit it out.
You put it on a prompter, make it clear you think have a right, build this mosque and uh near ground zero.
It's just a hallmark of American openness for it to happen.
You mean for it to be said.
So after meaning it, then these guys like Halpern come along and say, Well, I can't believe he won a vacation, didn't fix this mess.
It's a mess.
He made on purpose, and now he's on the lynx, our lady of the fairways, and you people are blaming me for all of it, which is exactly what he wanted to happen.
Okay, we're gonna get back to the phones here in just a second.
I've got uh lots of stuff here in the uh stacks.
U.S., this is a Wall Street Journal, U.S. saw drill ban killing 23,000 jobs.
The Obama administration knew that their moratorium is going to kill at least 23,000 jobs.
They did it anyway.
This we knew, about the Wall Street Journal here making it official.
From uh Reuters Americans are concerned and can are confused about the health care reform, according to a poll.
Many are confused about Obamacare.
Who's surprised by this?
I certainly am not.
I've I've thought of a way that I want to try to explain to people the problem with an oversized public sector.
You know, we sit here, well, ladies and gentlemen, we talk about the public sector government, private sector.
And I speak um oftentimes about how it's not good.
The public sector gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger because they really don't produce or Make anything, and everything that's used to pay them has to first be produced and then taxed in the private sector.
Really don't make anything other than the Chevy Vault, which is the first thing they've made in a long time.
But there is such over the last 50 years, there's been such as a steady and creeping love and appreciation for government and the media, the left has done a pretty good job of making people think that government should be the central thing in their life.
Government's about benefits.
If you don't have what you want or have what you need, the government will get it for you, and that you're entitled to it because you're an American.
And it's just built and built and built.
So I asked myself, how could I explain this to, say, people in Rio Linda or Port St. Lucy?
You know, where if you go to McDonald's and they don't have any McNuggets, you call 911.
Now, how to explain to people in Port St. Lucie the problem with a massive public sector when they don't have any McNuggets and they call somebody in the public sector.
911, or in Rio Linda, where they may not call 911 when Aren't they McNuggets, but similar things happen.
So the challenge is how to explain, come up with an analogy that would explain it.
The oversized public sector and the problem.
And I I thought of it, maybe this will help.
The unbalanced load in a washing machine.
Have you ever heard of a top-loaded washing machine with an unbalanced load of clothes?
Because how do I know about it?
Because I used to do laundry.
And I knew when the machine started making it cloud lapping crap tap.
So what is that?
I had to learn, my experience it was an unbalanced load.
So I could, yeah, I can relate.
Now remember, I'm I'm trying to explain why a growing public sector is bad to people who've been conditioned to look at the public sector as panacea as their solution.
So I thought the unbalanced load in the washing machine.
Because if you're in Port St. Lucie, Rio Linda, and places like that, you know intimately about an unbalanced load in a washing machine.
If there's a couple of heavy towels on one side, the machine is gonna get loud and it's gonna shake violently and it's gonna shut itself down.
And you're gonna think it's gonna blow up.
When I read articles about public sector pensions bankrupting states, or articles on the Obama trillion dollar budget deficit, I wonder what's the best way to help people like Port St. Lucians or Rio Lindons understand that the public sector's too big, and if we don't correct it, the economy will shut down.
Well, they put too much in the washer and it overloads on one side, the thing shuts down.
And what do they have to do?
What do you have to do to fix the unbalanced load?
You have to take some stuff out of it or rearrange it, but but the the no, no redistribution.
The best thing to do is take some stuff out of it.
If you if you leave the same amount in there, eventually it's gonna unbalance the one side, and you have to take some stuff out of there anyway.
So maybe the way to convince, and these people are gonna have to be made to understand this if we're gonna eventually beat this back, will be to explain that a bloated private sector, underfunded feature tensions and teacher pensions and all that is the same thing as your overloaded top loader.
Even at the laundromat.
I mean, you don't even have to have one in your house.
It can happen in the laundromat.
Sometimes a washing machine load becomes unbalanced, can cause problems in the spin cycle.
Yeah, but you can't, the front loaders are if you have a front loader, you have a stink problem.
You have a front loading washer, you don't want any we took ours Back.
You had it, you had to take the lining out of the door.
It stunk.
The front loader, and a typical, typical, the front loader came about because the environmentalist wacko said it's going to be more efficient.
It's going to save money, use less water, get the same job done, but it stinks up the room, stinks up the clothes and stinks up the washing machine.
You have to leave the door open.
Well, it's worse than that.
You have to clean the lining after after a while.
I've seen it in the staff memos.
So we ditched it, and we went back to the toploader.
But even the top loader sometimes you end up with an unbalanced load in there.
If the load is made up of smaller items, they move easily around in the water during the wash cycle, and they rarely end up unbalanced.
But when you are washing heavy items, one or two heavy items, they can end up on the same side of the tub at the end of the wash cycle, and then you hear that large thumping sound coming from your washing machine, and you got to run in there and turn it off as fast as you have to stop it.
So think of the bloated public sector as an unbalanced load in your top loader.
Or if you've had a front loader and you don't like it, think of the public sector as a front loader.
It just stinks.
And you have to leave the door open to air the thing out, and it takes you much longer to get the job done with less efficiency.
Back after this.
Hey, we're back.
Just trying to understand something Snortly just said to me in the IFB, and I didn't get it steep.
So, Steve in uh the Cape, which Cape?
Cape Girardo.
Well, it could have been Cape Cod when we talk about Cape Cod.
Cape Girarde, Missouri.
Steve, this is my hometown.
How are you, sir?
Good.
Greetings from the City of Roses.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I was six years behind you in school, but I used to listen to you on KGMO.
Well.
I was the one that called every day and say, Man, play in a gata de Vita, will you?
Well, I'll search my memory archives.
In the Gata Davida.
Yeah.
Iron butterfly.
I remember.
A lot of people thought it was in the Garden of Eden.
Uh Rush, I want to tell you you have been blessed with a brilliant mind, and I am so grateful that you're on our side.
Thank you very much, sir.
I appreciate that.
And uh let me one quick comment before I ask my question.
Uh I can tell you that as the pastor of a fairly large church that I am held accountable for literally every word that comes across the pulpit, and I have been scrutinized for one off-handed remark for weeks.
And it is not reasonable to think that uh that uh the president did not know what was being preached by Jeremiah Wright.
Only only unreasonable people and people that are willfully blind would accept that argument.
Right.
For 20 years he didn't hear any of that stuff.
It's just not the Jerobiah Wright that he knew.
Sorry, it's not believable.
Exactly right.
My question is, I really view this upcome these upcoming elections in November as probably the most important, at least in my adult lifetime.
I feel like it's our last chance to turn back the tide of socialism.
My question to you is do you think number one, do you think we can take back the Senate?
And number two, which races do you feel the mosque issue might play a key role in?
I think yes, I think we can take the Senate.
I actually think, and I I will go out on a limb because it's uh in the big scheme, it's early.
Politics, anything can happen at any time.
And it's just what the middle of August, just past the middle of August.
But I think that this is gonna be on the House side.
I think this is gonna be a bigger blowout than any of the inside the beltway experts think.
I think it's gonna be bigger than 94.
I think the morning after uh people who are already expecting this to be a big blowout are gonna be shocked.
I mean, on the Democrat side.
I mean, they're already trying to condition the fall here by saying, well, 94 was a surprise.
We know what's coming this year.
Well, it's gonna stop anything.
It's gonna be bigger than they think.
They're going to be shot.
They really believed in 2006 and 2008 that those elections meant that we had become a leftist, not a center left, but a leftist socialist country.
They really thought that's what that meant.
And then they create this uh this perfect character of Obama.
They create a resume that's perfect that doesn't require any proof.
Smartest guy in the world, we never saw the grades.
Law review never saw anything he wrote.
I mean, they create, they created a character, a perfect, perfect figure in every way.
Smarter than anybody else, brighter, better spoken, uh better resume.
I mean, unique, unlike anything we've ever seen.
And they got 53, 54% of people to buy it, which is really not a big number considering all of the advantages they had, all the bias, all the unified approaches in the media, but they still thought that this meant that one of two things.
Either they had cowed the country into believing leftism, socialism was best for them, or that the country had actually become that.
And now they're learning and they're shocked and angry and mad that that's not the reality.
And they lash out as only they can at the people.
It's not Obama's fault for being unacceptable.
It's not Obama's fault for not representing the greatness of America.
It's our fault for not understanding the greatness of Obama.
It's our fault for not understanding and accepting the perfect phony baloney resume of the guy that they created, and that he lived off of, by the way.
And so here's this guy who's Mr. Perfect.
His words alone were going to change the world.
We find out that his words haven't changed Italy Squat.
Obama has found out that the magic that he had in university that turned a C into an A, that made him a special person, put him at the top of every class he was in, find out that that magic does not hold, that this job requires work.
And he's really never had to work.
He's been a chosen one for a whole host of reasons, which I'm not going to bother getting into here for most of his life.
Now he finds out that's not enough.
It's not enough to make all the socialist Europeans love him.
Not enough to make all of the uh Muslims around the world love him.
Certainly not enough to make the American people bow down and just thank him for being alive.
And so, okay, heck with it.
I'm gonna enjoy the perk because I'm gonna go play golf, and I'm gonna screw this place up as bad as I can, and I'm gonna write books about it when I get out of here, and I'm gonna make more millions.
And if I serve a second term, I'll screw it up even more.
But I don't, so what?
I'll get there.
I'm gonna enjoy the perks as much as I can.
Somebody just sent me an email pretty good.
Barack Obama is the parsley on the dinner plate.
It's what you it's decorative, but you don't eat it.
It's you cast it.
You know, he gets in the way.
Barack Obama, the parsley on the dinner plate of America.
So, yeah, we I think the mosque issue is cumulative.
It is just the latest in a long line of things that has hold the American people, this is not the guy that they told us he was.
He's not the guy he thought, or he told us he was, certainly not the guy we thought he was.
I do think we can win the Senate.
But, and there's always a but with these, then what do we do?
The Republicans are going to win the House and win the Senate.
What we need is for the dominant guiding philosophy in the Republican Party to be conservatism.
We'll see.
Ruling class is the ruling class.
I'm not trying to throw cold water on anything here, folks.
I'm trying to be uh realistic.
And by realistic, I'm saying this is the greatest opportunity conservatives have ever had to contrast themselves with anybody on the left.
I mean, there is no greater illustration of who they are than this guy, his regime, and this leadership in the Senate and House.
Therefore, no greater opportunity to contrast Reaganism, for example, just to be brief, Reaganism with socialism.
And I don't see the Republicans doing it.
I see a couple of Paul Ryan.
But I don't see the Republicans are simply sitting around waiting for the Democrats to be voted against.
And I think they're a little bit their their theory is when your opponents committing suicide, stand away.
You know, stand aside, let it happen.
Which makes sense to a point.
But at some point they gotta they they they're gonna have to stand for something so they will have an issue mandate other than we're not Obama, other than we're not Democrats.
So the work will continue, is my only point after the elections, if things hold uh as they appear to.
Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
You know, no matter what I say, everybody wants to get in the act.
Everybody wants to.
I know parsley is a digestive.
I know that it helps digest.
That's the real reason it's on the plate, and Obama doesn't help digestion.
I understand this.
But the analogy is the appearance.
Obama is the parsley on the piece of nothing is ever his fault.
If the state comes out too well done, you don't blame the parsley.
You blame the chef.
Obama, just like parsley, never gets the blame.
Not on his side.
Anyway, certainly not in the media.
It's always Bush's fault.
Even uh even now.
Uh who's next?
Cameron in Hartford, Connecticut.
You're next.
The EIB network.
Hello.
Good day, Doctor.
Good day, sir.
Just wanted to follow up your uh comments and say that Juan Williams is being uh specifically uh consistent in character.
Um but first I wanted to caution you on this uh you're falling into the same trap that everybody is, thinking that there's going to be any change in the November election.
Uh the polls uh in the last election, 2008, were co-opted by the 327 affiliates of Acorn, the same and and they found that they could get away with it and they the culprits could walk, and that they would be given uh a free pass by Eric Holder.
So don't think that you're gonna have the opportunity to vote validly in in this election unless somebody goes and cleanses the registrar of voters' office.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, I see I think I think it's it's I think our our uh it's it's gonna be so big it's gonna overcome all that.
There they can cheat all they want, but if th they're facing such a depressed attitude on their side, they're gonna have to work harder than ever or pay more money than ever to get people out to vote.
They're gonna have to put up more buses, they're gonna have to do a whole lot of things.
There just isn't any energy on their side of things.
Besides, Joe Bite me says that we are not going to take Congress.
And Joe Bight Me is never right.
He is always wrong.
So you can put that in our column too.
But I understand your uh your reason for being cautious.
Back to Juan Williams.
Yes.
Uh his comments are uh typically in character for him.
As a matter of fact, you you were away.
And Mark Davis was in for you at the time that he went on with Brian Lamb in a C-SPAN interview Sunday morning.
I'm sitting there eating breakfast, and Juan Williams called for a new group of new set of founding fathers.
I almost dropped my scrambled eggs.
And I said, Did I hear what I think I heard?
And sure enough, uh he did.
And uh the next day I had the opportunity to mention this to Mark.
And anybody uh such as Juan Williams who calls for a new group of founding fathers, is neither never doesn't have a conservative bone in his body, has no place on any Fox News channel that holds itself out as right thinking.
And uh Oh, it's fair and balanced.
I mean, if you got you fair and balanced means you have to put some idiocy on the air.
Well, uh well said, and uh for him to call for Van Jones.
Kevin Jennings, the safe school czar to be a new founding father, Barack Obama.
Is oh he named him?
Uh no, he he was not specific, but he he uh he was talking about the current regime.
I was gonna ask you who should be the new founding fathers, and if I was in the list.
Well, it it it it goes with with Eric Holder, uh Van Jones.
Yeah, um Kevin Jennings, a safe school, the most dangerous man in Washington today, if you understand what his mission is.
Yes.
And and William Ayers and the whole gang of thugs from Chicago where uh politics uh is run the way it is, and now since that's national, uh that's why uh there will be no change because the voting booths were taken over by these uh communists the last time and the let me tell you something, but it's it's really much harder to steal elections in the midterms.
Without a presidential election on the ballot, it's really harder.
Uh the turnout is much lower, and it it it makes fraud stick out all the more.
It's much easier to hide the fraud during a presidential election year.
Anyway, Cameron, thanks much for the uh for the phone call.
We gotta take a break and come right back.
So we'll do that.
Be here.
Back to the phones of Greenville, South Carolina.
It says Warren, hi uh uh Warren, great to have you with us on the program.
Yes, sir.
Appreciate you taking my call.
I just wanted to say uh for starters that I've heard you say many times that you're like 98.7% right.
Point six.
Almost always 99.6, yeah.
Well, well, you're talking to someone that's about 98 about 99.8% right most of the time.
My wife calls me Mr. Wright, and I call her Miss Kid be wrong.
But anyway, I appreciate you taking a call.
I just want to say that uh I'm neither uh Republican nor Democrat.
I lean more toward the Democrats, but uh I'm somewhat, you know, in the middle, and I would like to say that you know there's good and bad in every group of people, whether they're Christians, Muslims, uh Islamic, that type thing, and uh but uh I just want to say that uh uh about things that President Obama says, I think it's uh important that we you know speak truthfully as to what he actually says.
For instance, uh when he when you said that he supports the moss.
Uh I've never heard him say he supports the moss, he says he re supports the right.
Uh then you all come back, then you come back and say he backpedaled and uh, you know, said he wasn't speaking on the uh wisdom of it.
I mean, I don't think the moss should be built there, but you know, I agree with the right, and I just think it's important that you know we speak for the report what he's well then there shouldn't be any controversy here, because he really didn't say anything.
Well he's I mean well, I mean, everybody knows that they've got a right to build a church.
And he said they've got a right to build a church there.
On private property, yes, sir.
It clears that that it sounded like he supported the idea.
Well, he just forced it right, and then some people came back and said he's defending the Constitution, and then uh there's no con there's no controversy there, because he really didn't say anything.
I mean, then like and then later when he says that uh when you reported that he says hearing the call of worship by the Muslims was the most beautiful sound he's ever heard.
Uh it's one of the most beautiful sounds.
Uh is is that his most beautiful sound in the world that in the world, not that he's ever heard.
W one, yes, one of the most, but not the most.
And uh and and I'll just say he really didn't say that either then.
Well, he he said it was one of, not the most.
No, but that that doesn't mean anything then.
It's he's got plausible it's one of them.
Could be a gazillion most beautiful sounds in the world.
That's just one of them.
It might not even matter, even though he made a specific point of the.

Uh he support the right, not he didn't he didn't support the moss.
So we're we're distorting things that uh okay, so he really wasn't for health care per se.
He just likes people having it.
Yeah, okay.
He he really wasn't he he's not he's not he's not for uh green energy and cap and trade, he just thinks it's smart.

This is the first time I've gotten in trouble for actually quoting him correctly.
Normally I'm accused of making it up, which I don't do.
Now I'm in trouble for getting it right.
Imagine that.
Americans confused about health care reform, according to Reuters.
Julia Wood, a 51-year-old mother of 12 from Chicago's East Side, has some health insurance through a state program, is worried that she may lose it, so she asks not to give her real name in the story.
The story here is not that Americans are confused about it, they understand it and don't like it.
They understand it and are afraid of it.
