Uh ladies and gentlemen, I checked my email during the top of the hour break here.
This kind of shocks me.
A lot of people, how do you know that the government is going to tell insurance companies how much they have to spend on what?
What do you mean how do I know?
What are they making it up?
It's all over the place out there.
Is it the politico?
It's in the New York Times.
They're all happy about this.
Here's the political version of the story.
White House outlines insurer spending rules.
The Obama regime on Monday outlined rules to restrict health insurers' spending beginning next year.
A key provision of Obamacare that aims to improve value for consumers.
Under the new rules, issued in the form of a regulation.
Most insurance companies will have to spend 85% of the money they collect in premiums on health care.
Insurers selling to small groups or directly to individuals will have to spend 80%.
The rest of the money can be spent on administrative costs and profit.
But you have the the government here, the authoritarian government, liberal government telling and the industry how it must spend its money.
Try getting your arms around that.
And all of this in just two years.
Just two years.
Welcome back, folks, Rush Limbaugh.
This is the EIB Network.
We come to you from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Our telephone number is 800 282-2882, the email address L. Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Do you remember?
What was her name?
Um what's her name?
Velma.
Yeah, Velma Hart.
Not to be confused with Selma.
That kind of ticked him off, but it it they were uh other news items got in the way of focusing on my claiming to have been at Selma.
Yesterday from the Associated Press headline, woman who told Obama she was exhausted, loses gig.
The woman who told President Obama that she was exhausted from defending him and his economic policies and waiting for the change she expected after voting for him has another reason to be put out.
She has lost her job.
She's been fired.
Velma Hart, the chief financial officer for Amvet's, a veteran services organization based in Maryland, said Monday in an interview with CNBC that she was laid off as part of the nonprofit's effort to cut expenses.
We got the audio sound bites on this.
Let's go to uh in fact, let's let's go back to September 20th.
CNBC's special event in this uh sound by 13 and 14 mic, investing in America, a town hall with Obama.
And during the QA, Velma Hart said this to the leader of the regime.
I'm one of your middle class Americans, and quite frankly, I'm exhausted.
Exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for.
I've been told that I voted for a man who said he was going to change things in a meaningful way for the middle class.
I'm one of those people, and I'm waiting, sir.
I'm waiting.
I don't feel it yet.
That's September 20th of this year.
On September 21st, she's on PMSNBC with uh Chris Matthews.
And Matthew said, what you did yesterday was speak clearly about American life.
When you talked about how you used to have hot dogs and beans as the main dinner because it was inexpensive, and you fear you may have to go back to that.
One kid heading to college, I think you captured the reality of a lot of Americans.
I appreciate your saying that because that's my reality.
And um, you know, I'm worried.
I I know I shouldn't be.
Somehow I know I shouldn't be.
I should have confidence in our leaders to get us through the these trying times, but I'm I'm I'm getting a little anxious.
And um I quite frankly, uh, the other thing that I'm concerned about is I think uh a lot of people are getting anxious, and because they're getting anxious, anxious people do desperate things, and um I'd like for us to avoid that.
He is our chief.
And the hard questions have to go to him.
Matthews thought this was a good moment for Obama.
Belmont.
I think it was great.
I think it helped the president, shook him loose a little bit to see that Claire confident voice that people should be talking to him.
I think he's a little surrounded at White House, perhaps by yes people.
I'm hoping he's going to come through.
I have great faith in him, and I think he will.
Right.
Now she's out of a job.
She got canned yesterday from a nonprofit.
Hot dogs and beans to what?
Dog food.
I don't know what she's going to be eating, but change is a terrible thing.
Now we we move forward to October 22nd, just barely over a month ago in Los Angeles, USC, Democrat National Committee rally, the actor Jamie Fox spoke.
I saw a lady on television who said to President Barack Obama that I'm exhausted.
I'm exhausted from defending you.
Can you believe that?
It's only been in office for a year and a half, two years.
You cannot get exhausted.
Jamie Fox ripping into Velma Hart because you can't be exhausted.
It's only been out there for a year and a half, two years.
So she tried to walk this back.
She appeared later on CNN and she walked it all back.
But it didn't help.
I know Jamie Foxx doesn't eat hot dogs and beans.
He is a hot dog.
But he doesn't eat hot dogs and beans.
Anyway, Velma Hart walked it all back.
And still didn't matter.
And she's not commenting now after after this story.
CNBC article.
As uh she and her family cope with her new financial setback.
She plans to explore the regime's mortgage loan modification program in order to stay in her house.
So Obama's change has forced her, and now she's going to try to go to the loan modification program.
Ms. Hart was only notified she's going to be fired last Friday.
She's already looking to getting a taxpayer-funded bail out of her mortgage.
She is an Obama supporter.
I know the program doesn't work, but you want to bet that it will for her.
You would not bet your house on it.
Now at all this post she's going to go into that program after being laid off after doing all oh, so you think Obama's that vindictive.
Uh-huh.
Should be foreclosed tomorrow for dissing the regime.
That's what you think.
Well, anyway, uh, Amvet's executive director Jim King told the Washington Post that the nonprofit was looking for ways to survive financially.
It's not anything she did.
Her boss told the post.
She she got bit by the same snake that's bit a lot of people.
Uh it was a move to cut our bottom line.
In September was when Hart told the town hall meeting, told Obama that she was exhausted.
Hart said the recession had taken enormous toll on her family and left her and her husband worried about their finances.
She told CNBC she still supports Obama, noted the economy is improving, though she finds the prospect of unemployment scary.
She walked it back the next day on CNN.
She was asked a question.
Uh let's see, uh have you lost faith in the president?
Do you think it's simply the circumstances we're in that he doesn't necessarily have control of?
Hart, yeah, it's the latter, but I don't know what he does and they have control of it.
That's um, I still have great faith in this president, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but didn't it didn't matter.
You go out, you diss the regime as she did.
It was only a matter of time.
And now Velma Hart, sad to say, is uh on the unemployment lines and now having to go to a failed mortgage modification program to try to stay in her home.
Just a coincidence, by the way, that she gets canned after the election.
Just a coincidence out there.
Nothing more than that.
Just a coincidence.
And we'll take a brief time out.
We'll come back and continue here on the EIB Network with El Rushboard.
Don't go away.
Okay, back to the phone.
Back to the phones, uh, to the phones.
Because we haven't been to the phones yet.
And we start in Columbus, Ohio.
This is Bob.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hello.
Uh mega dittoes, and it's a great honor and privilege to converse with you.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I I also want to let you know I'll be thanking for Thanksgiving your existence and what you do for our country.
Well, thank you very, very much, sir.
I appreciate that.
Uh what I am calling about regards the harassment and humiliation as a form of punishment to the American people.
As you'll recall, one of the few times that Obama is permitted to not use a teleprompter.
He often slips up and reveals his true self.
Yes.
And he did make that point of we have to reward our friends and punish our enemies.
Yes, I remember that.
And he is suffering so mentally from the destruction that we just shoved in his face by using the wheel.
Well, I know that they look at I I've said all along that the enemy to the American left is America.
The enemy is American conservatives.
And this is proof.
What's going on with the airline industry is harassment and punishment.
So you think the harassment at the airports is payback for what happened in the ballot box.
I believe Obama has a list of things that he's ready to do, and he just checked this one off and says I'm going to be out of the country.
I'm not going to be able to take the track for it.
Stop and think of this.
This guy does not sound like a Looney Tune.
This guy does not sound like he escaped the straitjacket at Leavenworth.
He calls here and he honestly thinks that this could be the president of the United States getting even with the American people over the he honestly thinks that.
Whether it's true or not, this is what he thinks.
Rasmussen has done a poll.
Rasmus is going to ask the American people, do you think the government is operating outside the limits of the Constitution?
Now st whatever the results of the poll.
Where do you get the question?
Well, obviously for me, but I mean the point is, at what other point in American history would a pollster even consider polling the question.
The Washington Post yesterday polled a phone poll of Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars.
They actually did.
Thirty, it's either thirty-one or thirty-nine percent of the American people think the government's operating within the Constitution.
The rest don't.
A majority do not.
A majority do let me see if I can find it here very quickly.
Yeah.
Uh there's a thirty-nine percent of likely U.S. voters believe the government currently operates within the limits of the Constitution.
Forty-four percent disagree say it's not functioning within the limits, and another 17% aren't sure.
So it's it's not a majority.
But it's it's uh well is a majority, but it it's it's it's 44%.
Still, the the uh the question, the question itself, and for the guy from Columbus, Ohio, the new TSA regulations kicked in on November 1st, which is the day before the election.
But Obama knew he was gonna get clocked.
They knew it.
They had their polls out there.
Here is Irving in Atlanta.
Nice to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, how are you?
Very good, sir.
Good.
Well, I never disagree with you.
I've been listening to you for many, many years, but I don't agree with you uh on what uh what you said about Obama.
Uh, you know, uh not uh uh in a blank you know, not I'm not doing Korea.
I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous.
Uh I think he will actually go uh and do something aggressive in Korea because for some reason or another, that's the one area that he's done relatively well in.
I mean, he's he's prosecuted the world relatively well with the surge.
He has listened to somebody in in the Pentagon uh with regard to don't ask, don't tell.
Yeah, Petraeus uh has been put where he's been put, and uh may even go higher in rank.
So as far as I'm concerned, I think he might actually go ahead and uh do something in Korea.
Uh aggressively and and uh correctly.
I hate to say that.
Wait, wait, wait a second.
one area that he's done relatively well in is the military or are you talking about a geographic area?
No what I'm saying is for some reason he's kept the troops longer uh he leaving it more open uh he's he's uh wavering on don't ask don't tell uh he he put Patrias where he's supposed to he uh did a little surge in Afghanistan as far as I'm concerned somebody he's listening to somebody in the Pentagon and I I think if the Pentagon tells him look go ahead into and do we got to do this I think he's gonna acquiesce.
We'll have to see uh just yesterday Obama said that they're still open to talking with Korea well ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of speeches I and and uh he said he was still willing to talk with North Korea.
North Korea is a ChICOM client just like we are so any action taken against the Norks we have to factor the Chicoms into it.
Send Carter send Jimmy Carter.
Right Bob in Queens great to have you on the EIB network sir.
Hello I did talk about something a couple of years ago a name comes up to me with this searching at the airport was called Abu Grab where people were so offended and it was uh morally wrong and they even called it torture.
Yeah district search terrorists yeah uh yeah so people got court martialed for it so what what are we talking about here?
We're talking about the airports they think strip searching's o okay uh with Americans oh you're saying that what we did at Abu Grab people got prosecuted for us but the agents here are being uh it's it's right because they harassed a few terrorists and made fun at them and stripped them and it was court martial offense.
It was considered torture, remember?
Oh yeah yeah so you're saying that the people the airports are being Abu grabbed.
Yeah.
Worse because they're not terrorists in jail you know I have a and another thing do they have uh don't ask don't tell policy or open gag at the airport they have uh uh uh no I sh you're talking about the agents yeah we don't know uh uh and we won't know about that until they you know build a pyramids uh human pyramids like the uh like they did over there at Abu Grab.
If if they do that then you never know open question Gene in Richfield Illinois uh give it your best shot here.
Yeah which all die anyway I've been in law enforcement most of my life and uh the spotlight seems to be on the pat downs at the airports and I believe that um we need to watch the fate uh handling and what's put in these airplanes uh more specifically because uh I believe that that's leaving us in a weak area by putting too much emphasis on the other thing that they're concerned about.
Well what do you mean?
I mean we're the way I see it we're looking for things not profiling people well uh that's true too but uh you take the spotlight and put it on the pat downs and so forth and I think uh there's a possibility that we may be coming weak in the area of uh checking the freight and so forth that's going on to these aircraft.
Oh the fuck I think the Taliban probably knows that and they might take it now why are you assuming that we're giving a half effort to cargo and baggage simply because of what's going on on a terminal.
Why why is why just because we're patting down people terminal why does that mean we're getting lax with baggage and cargo.
Well uh it just seems to me that they're putting too much emphasis on that and uh I think that it might be leaving the other area vulnerable.
Just my thoughts well I don't disagree look I'm I'm as I said earlier in my uh opening hour Monologue, we'd certainly want hard security.
Nobody's opposed to that, but this is not.
This is this is uh this is harassment.
And clearly uh inspecting cargo.
Well, I don't know that we're not focusing much on this is I mean, I I don't maybe we are, but I don't think you can tell that or ascertain that simply by what's going on inside the terminal.
So unless you just want to say that the TSA is generally incompetent, and they're focusing all their efforts here on people and thus being lax with cargo.
Uh it's a generally legitimate concern.
I mean, a lot of cargo flights carry four times as much freight as passenger planes, uh, and that would mean a massive expansion of the inspection system.
I know that customs is uh is heavily you try to bring something in from overseas, you buy a piece of furniture or whatever, it can take customs weeks to clear it.
Uh coming through.
Uh FedEx has similar problems, UPS bringing packages across.
I mean, they have to clear customs.
I I my my No, I I know, I know that the guy is suggesting we check cargo.
I just don't know that we're not.
I'm not drawing a I don't know how we can just because we're focusing on pat downs, how that means we're not focusing on cargo.
And even if we are focusing on cargo, uh, we're not making a big deal of it.
We're not showing it.
We're not showing pictures.
There aren't cameras showing us how the cargo is being inspected, but we are hearing all about the harassment of passengers.
Which is, as I said yesterday, there's a reason for this, and it's not about security.
It's harassment.
It's the regime saying this is what it's going to be like.
It's also to move us willingly into scanners.
We're back, El Rushbo serving humanity on the cutting edge of societal evolution, Thanksgiving week it is.
We used to have an exclusive on this program, and that was every day, the every year, the the day before Thanksgiving.
I would read to you from my book, The Real Story of Thanksgiving.
Now it's everywhere.
Everybody does the real story of Thanksgiving.
I was uh I was listening to uh uh somebody on the radio this morning, almost reading it verbatim.
Well, I know I still have to do it, but I mean it's but it's out there.
Everybody's even the New York Times did a story on the real story of Thanksgiving, but their point was hey, they really socialism wasn't that bad for the pilgrims.
It worked out pretty well at first, it's all they could have done, in fact.
And they even referenced my telling the real story.
Well, I've got it in the stack.
It's just one little paragraph.
That they reference me telling the real story of Thanksgiving.
It's kind of a throwaway uh mention as far as the New York Times is concerned.
But it just it just goes to show you how it's only taken twenty two years, but it's out there now.
Everybody's doing it as though nobody else knows the story, which is fine.
And I'm like Ronaldo's Magnus.
I don't care who gets the credit as long as the job gets done.
Because I am totally secure in my person, in my ego in myself and in my clothes.
And I it really doesn't, it doesn't matter.
What are you frowning at, Mr. Sturdley?
You distract me when you're frowning in there.
I don't like it.
Well, you find I do yesterday.
Mm-hmm.
Ida was never asked that question.
I was not asked the question.
You I was not asked the question, and I'm not being asked the question right now.
And since I'm not being asked the question, I'm not going to answer it.
It's just the way it is.
Now, look, nobody wants to about our last caller from Richfield, Illinois.
This business about the cargo.
You know, this is where the Dubai Ports deal comes into play.
Because everybody was worried about the Dubai Ports deal because that was Arabs, and they're going to let terrorists uh get uh terrorism equipment into the country because they ran the ports.
That's what everybody was afraid of.
So the 9-11 commission recommended that we screen 50%.
John Lewis up there.
Uh John Lewis uh Medal of Freedom recipient.
You know, it is amazing what being in Selma can do for you.
At any rate, the 9-11 Commission recommended that we screen 50% of cargo on passenger aircraft by February of 2009.
And 100% of cargo on passenger aircraft by August of 2010.
Now we aren't anywhere near those numbers.
And this is passenger aircraft.
true cargo flights carry much more cargo than the cargo that's on passenger jets i don't think we do a hundred percent screening on cargo of passenger planes anywhere Ed Mockie of Massachusetts producing uh pushing legislation for that, but the airlines say it'd be prohibitively expensive and slow down the system.
Tremendously.
So that is a vulnerable uh area.
And but you see, even in in light of all this, what is going on?
Innocent Americans are being humiliated, and what's the message?
The message is we own you.
The message is your government controls you.
Your government owned your government can make you do whatever we want you to do.
There is a conditioning taking place.
This is the regime showing what it's going to be like.
This is the regime testing what kind of resistance there will be.
Because they're not going to catch any terrorists.
All this rot gut about homegrown terrorists are worried about.
Let's get to Napolitano saying it.
Audio soundbite.
That's uh well, I guess we don't have her saying that.
Yeah, it's uh oh yeah.
It is number 11.
Janet Napolitano number 11, audio soundbite number 11, Charlie Rose.
What's changed, Madam Secretary, in terms of the attitude of people who want to engage in terror acts against the U.S.?
Are they more intense?
Are they having new methods and means?
Are there more of them?
Are they using more people who have U.S. passport?
Uh or you know, all of that.
The growth in homegrown terrorists, U.S. citizens who become radicalized to the point of violence.
They may go over to the FATA to Somalia to Yemen, uh, learn trade craft, learn how to build some of these things, learn how to perform all these operations, and then return to the United States.
All of these things are now in the mix.
What is the process by which a young man in the United States goes from becoming radicalized to becoming radicalized to the point of leaving the United States, going to a camp somewhere for six months and whatever, and then coming back with the intent of the city?
I think that's where we need and can do more work.
So there's the explanation for this.
Homegrown terrorists, you people are leaving here, you're going over to Pakistan and uh uh learning jihad and then coming back.
Yeah, I don't know how many of you are hanging around mosques after you've gone over and learned jihad.
But I mean, this is this is their excuse.
Now, here's the problem, though, is that Obama told us that people only become terrorists because they're so poor.
Remember, he said that.
This had been a favorite theory of the left.
That terrorists become terrorists because they're poor, and they're poor because of the United States, that we have raped the land, that we have stolen the oil and the resources from their Navy lands and made them paupers.
And they are rising up in anger and disgust out of poverty at their oppressors, and this is why we must understand they don't have any opportunities.
They don't have any opportunities.
Terrorism is their only way out.
It's like the left says about Dumb white Americans.
Well, they know they can't get educated.
This country's economy's gone to hell, so they join the military.
That's what the elite left says makes up the American military is a bunch of dumb white kids that have no future.
So they say about terrorists, well, they're just a bunch of Arab kids that don't have any future because of the United States.
They leave the U.S., go to Pakistan and learn jihad and come back.
Now, you can't have it both ways.
They're either terrorists because they're poor, or terrorists because they're being recruited.
How many domestic terrorists are going to be set off after seeing the way women are treated at the airport?
Well, now, look at this is let me read to you this note that I got again from a friend of mine that inspired our opening hour monologue.
Dear Rush, the effect of the TSA groping policy is to convince the Islamic the effect, not the purpose, a key word here, the effect.
The end result of this is convincing the Islamic world, where even touching a woman is a grave insult to a family's honor, that Americans are dishonorable, degenerate and cowardly.
That we'll sit around and let our women be treated this way.
Now remember, in the Middle East, women are, you know, half a human.
They're half human.
I mean, they are the lowest of the low.
But if you touch one, still it's a bit because they're so low.
If you touch, and look what we're doing to ours.
What we're doing to our women, the message being sent here, is that we are dishonorable, degenerate, and cowardly.
The fact that they will allow their women and children and elderly, this is what they see, to be treated this way.
The fact that we will allow our women, and the fact that it can be accomplished by merely launching a few bombers with TNT in their underwear or in their car trunks shows the entire Middle East of America is a society ready to do anything to avoid any conflict or even the smallest risk.
This is how they see what we're doing.
And then they watch the media treat this as a sensational tabloid curiosity.
The media missed the point.
What's going on in airports probably does more to weaken American credibility in the Muslim world than anything that's happened since 9-11?
Because they see us in the process of surrendering.
They see this as in the eyes of Islamic fundamentalism, this is surrender.
We're not defending ourselves, we're not defending our honor.
blaming ourselves.
What a coup these people have pulled off.
In their estimation.
All right, brief time out here.
We'll be back El Rushbow.
On a roll on the EIB network.
Stay tuned.
Okay, Janet Napolitano.
She said that she was concerned with homegrown radicalized young men in the United States.
You just heard her.
We just played the soundbite, right?
So, my question is why the molestation of children?
Why the molestation and humiliation of women?
Nuns, silver-haired grandmothers.
Why remove prosthetic breasts?
If it is young American men going over to Pakistan and learning jihad.
Why the sexual assaults on women?
Says she was concerned with men, so she molests everybody else.
In addition to that.
Now, snerdly, you you want anything, you want to hear the New York Times reference to me in the Kate Zernicki story, the pilgrims were socialists?
Question mark.
This ran on November 20th.
This is uh Tuesday, the 25th, Saturday or Sunday.
Anyway, uh, ah, Thanksgiving is how it begins.
A celebration, regardless of creed, a time for all Americans to come together after a divisive election year.
That's how it begins.
I'm sure she means this Innocently, but that's not what Thanksgiving is.
The Thanksgiving holiday.
How many of you people think the Thanksgiving holiday is celebrated because the pilgrims were about to starve to death after they got here?
And so the Indians shared with us their popcorn and showed us how to kill turkey and make dressing, sweet potatoes with mu with marshmallows on top, uh, and green beans and mushroom sauce.
Where if it weren't for the Indians teaching us all that, why there wouldn't be an America.
And now look what we've done to the Indians.
Thanksgiving was a proclaimed national holiday by our first president George Washington, and the purpose was to give thanks to God for blessing this nation and its founding and creation.
That's what read any number of Washington speeches, and you think you're listening to Billy Graham.
I can't have that.
It was to give thanks to God for our Constitution.
That's what the first Thanksgiving was all about.
So here's Kate Cernicki, ah, Thanksgiving, a celebration regardless of creed, uh time for all Americans to come together after a divisive election year.
And then she goes on to talk about in the Tea Party view of the holiday.
In the Tea Party view of the holiday, the first settlers were actually early socialists.
They realized the air of their collectivist ways and embraced capitalism, producing a bumper year upon which they decided it was only right to celebrate the glory of the free market and private property with the engines.
Historians quibble about this interpretation, but the story, related by libertarians and conservatives for years, has taken on new life over the last year among Tea Party audiences who revere early American history, as the New York Times doesn't.
Can you imagine those Tea Party people?
What loco weeds?
I mean, here we are in revering early American history.
Tea Party audiences revere early American history, hunger for any argument against what they believe is the big government takeover of the United States.
It's made Thanksgiving another proxy in the debate over health care and entitlement spending and place it alongside the New Deal and the Constitution on the platter of historical items picked apart by competing narratives.
There are other debates about Thanksgiving, whether the first was in Jamestown, Virginia or Plymouth, Massachusetts, whether it was intended as a religious holiday or not, but broadly, the version passed on to generations of American school kids holds that settlers who had arrived in the New World on the Mayflower were celebrating the next year's good harvest, sharing in the bounty with Squanto and their other Indian friends who taught them how to hunt and farm on a new terrain.
All very kumbaya, say Tea Party historians, but missing the economic lesson within.
By the way, that's not what I was taught.
I was taught that the Pilbons were incompetent, practically dead when they got here, and if it weren't for the Indians, there'd be no America.
And I'm that was in the 50s and early 60s, I was taught that.
Then there's um this paragraph.
Rush Limbaugh repeats the Thanksgiving story of Plymouth every year, reading it from a chapter in one of his books titled Dead White Guys or What Your History Books Never Told You.
Some details change one year he had the pilgrims growing organic vegetables.
They don't have a sense of humor at the New York Times at I did throw in that the pilgrims that grew organic vegetables as part of the failure of the socialists, and they can't take a joke.
Literally can't take a joke.
So now they're accusing me of making up things in my own Thanksgiving story.
It changes.
Some details change every year.
One year he had the pilgrims growing organic vegetables.
We'll have the real story for you tomorrow.
From my book.
And I just I just threw the Organic vegetable just to tweak the left.
Obviously, it worked again.
Another media tweak has come to fruition years later.
So the New York Times is horrified because the right, the Tea Party, has politicized Thanksgiving.
The new yeah, they revere early American history.
The New York Times is decrying politicizing a holiday.
Like Columbus Day.
Anyway, brief time out here, my friends, El Rushball on a roll, serving humanity simply by showing up.
The New York Times has a blog, and it's called the Caucus.
And yesterday they had this headline: Pat Downs ensnared the White House in New Distraction.
Real life has a way of intruding on Obama's presidency.
So the Pat D's a the real shame about the Pat Downs is it's it's it's in it's interrupting Obama's presidency.
It's a distraction for Obama.
He's sitting around minding his own business, he's out-of-control agents, start groping everybody, and Obama has to be distracted from what?
