Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hey folks, Facebook is really, really slow this morning, really slow right now.
And it's not WikiLeaks.
I posted a very funny picture of me and Abby.
I had to chastise Abby for attacking the TV every time she sees Obama on the thing.
So I sat her down on the sofa and we had a heart to heart.
And Catherine took a great picture of it.
So that's posted on our Facebook page and also at rushlinbaugh.com.
Hope you had a great weekend.
We sure did.
And we're back at it for more here on the excellence in Broadcasting Network.
People still ask me, how did you name this network?
Who named us?
And I named it.
And we didn't have a name for the network when we started.
Everybody wanted to know, well, what network is the guy on when the people started talking about the program?
People were starting to call Larry King, his midnight show.
And Larry professed not to know who I was.
He kept saying, whoa, whoa, what network?
What network?
People started calling me, what's the name of your network?
I said, well, I guess we're going to have a name for a network.
So I just named it after my level of performance.
The excellence in broadcasting network, EIB.
Just happened right there.
Well, yeah, it did, right off the top of my head, which is where many fertile things occur and grow.
Our telephone number, if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882 and the email address, LRushbo at EIBNet.com.
How about Obama ceding the presidency, not just the podium, but ceding the presidency to Bill Clinton for a half hour or 45 minutes last Friday after this program is off the air?
Man, oh man, we've got sound bites of females in the White House press corps.
Folks, it's as we always knew it.
In fact, as I'm listening to them ask him questions, the camera's not on them.
I think they're taking their clothes off in front of Clinton while they're asking him questions.
And please say, can I be next?
What does Monica have it I don't have?
What does she have that I didn't have?
It's hilarious.
And what's Obama's excuse?
Michelle's waiting.
He's got to go to a Christmas party.
That's how I know the tax deal is going to get done this week because Obama's vacation in Hawaii starts.
And if Michelle didn't want to be late to a Christmas party, I know damn well she's not going to want to be late getting to Hawaii.
So you can count on this.
And it's not a good deal unless some things change.
This is not worth a Republican signing on to.
It really isn't.
Which we detailed for you throughout the busy broadcast on Friday.
But I mean, let's go back, shall we?
This is February or January 7th, 2008, during the presidential campaigns in Dartmouth College in New Hampshire during a town hall meeting.
And this is Clinton during the town hall meeting talking about Obama.
Give me a break.
This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen.
This whole thing's the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen.
And don't forget, it was Clinton who I think, not on Mike, maybe it was on, we don't have the audio of this, but you remember he was in South Carolina at some point.
He was complaining to some of his people.
He said, and you remember this, he said, yeah, you know, two years ago, this guy had been fetching us our coffee.
Remember that?
Two years ago, this guy, this guy began, yeah, he began as our coffee out there.
They're playing the race card on me.
Now, Clinton is, He is a phony alibi for Obama's supposed supply-side transformation.
Why did they call Clinton?
It's not Clinton's tax rates that they're trying to keep in place.
It's Bush's.
Why didn't he call Bush?
It's Clinton's tax rates everybody's trying to avoid.
Has anybody thought of this that way?
No, that's why I'm host.
And why did he call in Bill instead of Hillary?
You know, the nags ought to be furious about this.
Because it just shows the old guys, when they think that something has to be done, you got to go back to the old boys network.
Hillary does all the grunt work all over the world, going places nobody else wants to go.
She got eaten up during the campaign, cheated on, cheated against, all that kind of stuff, made to look like a cleaning woman on Sundays.
And they then go to Bill Clinton to bring him back as the savior of Obama.
Clinton, ladies and gentlemen, Clinton is no dummy.
He knows Obama is a failure.
He knows it.
That's why he's helping him out here.
Do you know what Obama is now going to owe the Clintons for this?
If this thing ever, if it comes to pass?
You know, Clinton, he wants to come off as some magnanimous guy just trying to help his president.
But you know that he and Hillary are laughing themselves silly because Obama has dug himself a hole.
He forgot to take a ladder in to climb out.
So he's down in the hole.
He's yelling up to the top, hey, Bill, Bill, can you give me a hand?
And Clinton says, yeah, yes, man, whatever you need me to do.
What do you want me to do?
And Clinton goes out, takes over the press conference, stands there, starts clapping and so forth.
And Bill turns to the press and says, hey, you know, isn't this guy great?
You ever seen a harder working guy besides me?
Now, I'm only going to have a half hour to answer your questions, a couple, maybe 15-minute extensions.
I don't want to get in Obama's ways digging like a real pro down there.
He got no way out except for me.
You know, this is just every aspect of this is just predictable.
The press corps loving it.
It's two tingles of Chris Matthews' legs.
The Clinton White House press corps just beside itself with how excited they are over this.
And we get to watch this and chuckle because it's Clinton's policy everybody's trying to avoid.
It's the Clinton tax rates that will be reinstated if all of this falls apart and nothing happens to save the Bush tax rates by December 31st.
Now, who is the party of no here?
Who's the part?
It's exactly right.
Democrats and Obama were calling the Republicans the party of no.
And now the Democrats are chanting, just say no to all this.
By the way, who was it?
You blue dogs.
Remember I told you on Friday that none of the Democrats who retired or who lost are allowed into the meetings or allowed to vote on the deal?
Now, who was it that told you blue dogs that Pelosi doesn't care about you?
Who was it that told you it was I, El Rushball, who was looking out for you all during the campaign?
And I know you chose not to listen to me.
And I don't know why any of our journalists did not ask either Obama or Clinton about these Bush tax cuts.
You know, they said, what is it now suddenly we're going to save the middle class?
How come nobody asked if this didn't prove that conservatives have been right all along?
Why didn't somebody ask these?
Wait a minute, you guys keep talking about saving tax cuts for the middle class, but Mr. President, I can remember you saying for the last three years that the Bush tax cuts were for millionaires and billionaires.
Are you now saying, Mr. President, that Bush tax cuts included middle-class tax?
Now, we didn't get that question from any reporters.
And Clinton didn't get that question from any reporters.
But it would have been a valid question.
What is this tax cuts for the middle class?
You guys have been, you said there weren't any.
It was tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
And speaking of that, they kept talking about preserving these tax cuts for the middle class, which I didn't think were in the Bush tax cuts.
Shouldn't the president and the Democrats want to improve the lives of all Americans?
Isn't the president the president of everybody, not just the middle class?
Aren't they representatives of all Americans, both the rich and the non-rich?
I mean, if extending the Bush tax rates is good for the middle class, won't it be good for the so-called rich as well?
Well, of course it would, but they can't say that.
Now, whatever happened to equal protection under the law, or do we, in fact, have two Americas now?
Do we have two Americas presided over by Obama and Clinton?
But we have to now call this the Obama-Clinton presidency.
You realize that this is the Obama-Clinton presidency.
You know, Clinton thinks so.
You know how he loved it.
You can see he loved it.
They couldn't get him off that podium.
And the great thing about it is he knows he's not accountable for anything.
He can say anything.
He can answer anything.
He can get all the love and the adulation, all the appreciation.
And he's not accountable for it because at the end of the day, he's not president.
But it looks like the Obama-Clinton presidency.
Are we?
We got sound bites.
Oh, before we go to the break, I don't know.
Those of you who don't follow football, you have to know something.
Yesterday on the sidelines at the Jets Dolphins game, something very unsportsmanlike happened.
Something that it's happened before.
It's happened before.
I don't know in the NFL, but it's, oh, yeah.
It's certainly it's in college.
It's happened before.
What happened was this.
Nolan Carroll was running down to cover a punt with the Miami Dolphins, and he runs out of bounds to escape a couple blockers.
He's the gunner, runs out of bounds to escape a couple blockers, and he is tripped by the Jets strength coach, a guy with the name of Sal Alosi.
And I saw it.
Sal Alosi sticks his knee out there, and Nolan Carroll goes falling all over himself, somersault, ends up with a Charlie horse, is injured.
Everybody fit to be tied over this, as they should be.
But they're angry.
Oh, Woody Hayes.
Woody Hayes, remember, coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Opposing player intercepted an Ohio State pass, and Woody Hayes went out and slugged the guy, went on the field.
Interception happened right in front of Woody Hayes.
Woody Hayes went out there and slugged the guy.
It wasn't long after that that Woody Hayes retired.
So this is, it's happened before.
I remember in a Steelers game, some Steelers' opponent intercepted a pass running down the Steelers sideline.
The coach Bill Cower got balled up his fist and looked ready to, he was so mad, he looked ready to chop that guy.
But he backed off.
It didn't happen.
So everybody just, they're beside themselves.
The sports media, that guy ought to be fired.
I don't care if his apology was up and right.
This is unseemly.
This is unquelled for.
This kind of sportsmanship wired.
Wouldn't it be nice?
Wouldn't it be nice if voter flaw fraud and climate fraud and stimulus fraud was covered with the same intensity as this thing that happened with the Jets Dolphins?
Wouldn't it, you know, even the business insider has a story on what happened.
New York Jets assistant should be fired for tripping a Dolphins player.
This is a business insider, not a sports page, not a sports writer.
The business insider, the business insider is calling for the coach's firing because he cheated.
So the question is, since when does that matter?
Since when does it matter?
Because people look at the climate fraud, the climate global warming fraud, the hulks, the lies of the stimulus package, voter fraud and so forth, Acorn, where's the anger at that stuff that in its own universe really matters?
In Obamaville, this coach is a hero.
In the world of politics, anybody helps Democrats get away with cheating is a hero.
But on the football field, it's the other way, other way around.
I'll bet you sports talk shows, I'll bet you other talk shows, not just in the world of sports, are all over this incident.
I'll bet people are talking about it like it's the biggest outrage they've ever seen.
Yeah, it was outrageous, but it's no more outrageous and meaningful, no more meaningful some of the legitimate cheating and fraud that takes place at the Democrat Party in this country.
It may as well have been the Obama team on the sideline that did it.
First time anybody is mad at him.
It was Woody Hayes who punched Clemson linebacker Charlie Bauman, the 1978 Gator Bull.
I mean, literally grabbed a guy with a face mask and socked him in the face.
My dad loved Woody Hayes.
Look at folks, I'm being dead serious about this.
Everybody thinks that I'm just off on a tangent trying to be funny.
If the Jets coach that stuck his knee out and tripped the Dolphins player, if this guy, if the Jets coach were a Democrat candidate, I kid you not, everybody would be demanding to look at that video over and over again from all kinds of different angles, slow-mo.
Eventually, the coach would be cleared.
The Dolphin player would be blamed and kicked out of football.
If this were politics, if the coach were a Democrat candidate, if they find that this coach is a Republican, he has no prayer of ever working in the league again.
I guarantee you.
And look at this.
I mean, I'm right again from off the bench.nbcsports.com, how George Hallis invented the sideline trip.
So here's the story on, hey, a little context here.
It's no big deal.
Coach must be a Democrat.
The Jets coach must be a Democrat.
There's no big deal here because this story is about how it was invented by George Hallis.
The Bears were playing the Giants or the Rams one day, and one of the Rams players or Giants players intercepted a Bears pass, was running for the end zone, no way to catch him.
Sahala stuck his foot out and tripped the guy, got a 15-yard penalty.
Hallis knew that his defense would keep him out of the end zone, and that's what happened.
All it was was a 15-yard.
Well, hell, that clever George Hallis, what a great coach.
See, the context here, this tells us a lot about the Jets coach.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Now, I was also serious about this.
No, seriously, Obama cedes the presidency for 45 minutes to Bill Clinton.
On the table are Bush tax rates and their extension.
Now, now that Obama and co-President Clinton have confessed that they were dead wrong on Bush tax cuts, because isn't that what happened?
Even for two years, if they want an extension of the Bush tax rates for two years, remember, for the last 10 years, the Bush tax cuts were the reason we're in this economic problem, the reason we're in a recession, the Bush tax cuts, the reason we went to Iraq, the Bush tax cuts.
The reason we're in Afghanistan, the Bush tax cuts.
The reason you don't have a job.
The reason we had to buy General Motors, Bush tax cuts.
The Bush tax cuts, singularly, the most destructive thing that's happened in this country in the last 10 years.
And here are Obama and Clinton both advocating for their extension for two years.
But wait, the same people told us that Clinton's tax increases in 1993 led to a booming economy throughout the 90s.
So if Clinton were intellectually honest, I know, I know, but if he were, shouldn't he have taken the occasion?
And we know how egocentric he is, and we know how desirous he is of having a legacy.
We know that he still doesn't have one.
He's trying to overcome the Monica business and the lying under oath.
Shouldn't Clinton have supported and insisted on tax increases to help Obama's economy?
That's what Clinton did.
Clinton raised taxes on everybody.
It's 39.6 the top rate.
That's what we're going to go back to if these rates aren't extended.
And those rates led to a booming economy.
So they say.
So why didn't Clinton do that?
Why didn't he insist on tax increases to help Obama's economy?
He didn't.
Because he knows the truth.
They know that in these, and Clinton led us to believe the economy when he took office was just as bad as it is now.
It was the worst economy in the last 50 years.
So now that Obama and co-President Clinton have confessed they were dead wrong on the Bush tax rates, now would be a good time for them to admit they were dead wrong about Obamacare bending the cost curve down and saving Americans $2,500 on their premiums.
It would be a good time to admit their stimulus bill was a slush one.
A good time to admit that Bush and Cheney were right about Gitmo.
If they're going to admit the Bush tax cuts were the right thing to do, isn't it time to come clean on everything the Republicans have done good?
All right, to all of those of you on the email, yes, I'm aware that we had no audio on the dittocam for the first minute.
It was purposefully done by Brian, the broadcast engineer, to see if anybody was paying attention.
And clearly you were.
Now, one of the things that you missed in the first minute was Facebook is exceedingly slow today, and that's because I've posted a really cute picture of me and the dog Abby.
I had to sit the dog down and have a heart to heart.
The dog keeps attacking a TV when she sees Obama on there.
And we've put the picture up on Facebook.
It's also at rushlimbo.com.
And there's so many people trying to get in there and see it.
Facebook's a little slowed down.
That's what I was telling you.
All right, a federal judge in Virginia has declared the Obama regime's health care reform law to be unconstitutional.
This is U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson, the first judge to rule against the law which has been upheld by two others in Virginia and Michigan.
Both of them were Clinton appointees.
One of them might have been a Carter appointee, but you can see how the dividing line shakes out here.
Perfectly understandable.
And it also illustrates that justice is not blind.
It illustrates that judges do indeed have an ideological bias.
There's no question about the libs, the leftist judges believe in writing law and supporting unconstitutional things by their brethren on the left.
Conservatives believe in original intent and the Constitution reigning supreme.
And there's no way that the Commerce Clause element of the health care bill can said to be constitutional.
The federal government may not mandate, may not require that any of us buy anything.
The health care law does.
Judge Henry Hudson in Virginia has said that it is unconstitutional because of the Commerce Clause, for the exact reason I said you cannot, the federal government cannot mandate the citizens buy anything.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli filed a lawsuit challenging the law's requirement that citizens buy health insurance or pay a penalty starting in 2014.
He argues the federal government doesn't have the constitutional authority to impose this requirement.
Other lawsuits are pending, including one filed by 20 states in a Florida court.
Virginia is not part of that one.
The U.S. Justice Department and opponents of the health care law agree the U.S. Supreme Court will have the final word on this.
And we don't know when, but they will have the final word.
All right, audio sound bites.
We start with co-president William Jefferson Clinton last Friday afternoon at the White House.
Here's what happened, by the way.
This is what I'm told happened.
Clinton and Obama have a 90-minute meeting in the Oval Orifice.
And then they head to the press office in the West Wing, and it's locked.
There's nobody in the West Wing, or very few people that matter because there's a Christmas party, in fact, going on, which we were to later find out.
So Clinton and the President of the United States start tooling around the West Wing, trying to find somebody to open up the press office or alternately to find Robert Fibbs because nobody knew what was coming.
Clinton and Obama agreed to this amongst themselves, which raises all kinds of questions.
Did Obama agree to it and Clinton propose it?
Or did Obama propose it and Clinton agree to it?
We don't know.
Anyway, they eventually found a key to the briefing room was locked.
Not the press office, but the briefing room that was locked where the press was gathered.
They sent out a message: okay, look, we need to get a cube.
The briefing room, get in there, and call the press and get them in here.
The press was assembled.
They got in there, and Obama announces he's got to go to a Christmas party and ask Clinton to take over the press conference on the tax deal.
During exchange about what Clinton gave Obama about dealing with an opposition Congress, the reporter said, Mr. President, what do you think?
I've been keeping the first lady waiting for about half an hour, so I'm going to take off.
I don't want to micromanage.
Please go.
You're in good hands.
And Gibbs will call last question.
Thank you.
So far, Obama gets a question.
Mr. President, what do you think?
Well, I've been keeping the first waiting waiting half hour.
I got to take off.
That's his response to the question.
Clinton says, I don't want to make her mad.
Please go.
And of course, oh, is the first lady mad?
Hey, hey, I understand what you're talking about there, old bud.
Go.
Get out of here.
I can handle this all by myself.
I look forward to it.
And Obama says you're in good hands.
Females in the press corps start taking off their clothes.
He says, Gibbs will call last question.
Clinton says, Thank you.
Yes, go ahead.
And then he starts speaking.
I still spend about an hour a day trying to study this economy.
I want to make full disclosure.
You know, I make quite a bit of money now, so the position that the Republicans have.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait just a minute.
Get cue this back to the top.
Here we go again with this guy bragging about how much money he makes.
Obama's up there.
It's always about him.
Clinton gets up.
It's always about him.
Clinton or Hillary get up there.
They first have to tell us how much money they make.
Yeah, I've made quite a bit of money now.
So the Republican position out there is going to benefit me.
Here's the whole bite now.
I still spend about an hour a day trying to study this economy.
I want to make full disclosure.
You know, I make quite a bit of money now, so the position that the Republicans have urged will personally benefit me.
I think the people that benefit most should pay most.
I just got back from a trip to Asia with my foundation.
Hong Kong, super free marketplace, had a stimulus.
Well, I guess we're not supposed to use that word anymore.
Yeah, you are.
You're supposed to call this deal a stimulus.
You are certainly to use that word again.
You are supposed to call this tax extension a stimulus.
But now, wait a minute.
The position that the Republicans have urged will personally benefit me.
I think the people that benefit most should pay most.
Well, that's Clinton talking about himself.
But what does he end up doing?
He ends up taking a position that will benefit him.
And believe me, folks, he didn't have to study this for an hour to learn that part of it.
He did not have to study for 60 minutes to figure out that keeping current tax rates will benefit him.
Okay, so Obama leaves the room and they start the QA with Clinton.
Unidentified female reporter says, Some of your fellow Democrats are saying the president just didn't go in and fight hard enough for his core principles, that he caved in.
Politically, some say he should be a one-term president.
Has he damaged not only his own political path, but he's has he let the party down?
I did 133 events for him.
I believe the Congress in the last two years did a far better job than the American.
Wait, wait, wait.
Stop the tape.
You heard this.
The question, has he damaged the question is all about Obama.
Didn't do this, didn't do that, should be one-term president.
Has he damaged not only his own political path, but has he let the party down?
Clinton says, I did three, 133 events for him.
What?
The question wasn't about you.
And once again, it's all about him.
Thought they did.
And I went to extraordinary efforts to try to explain what I thought had been done in the ways that I thought were most favorable to them.
But we had an election.
The results are what they are.
The numbers will only get worse in January in terms of negotiating.
This is a good deal and the best he could have gotten under the circumstances.
He didn't answer the question.
Has he damaged not only his own political path, but has he let the party down?
Yeah, that's the best thing he could get because next month a cavalry shows up here.
Republicans are going to start running the House of Representatives.
That's the best they can get.
And that's exactly where that's why it's mystifying to me whether Republicans are caving here at this point.
They can get much more than this.
Next week, the Republicans are saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, but if we have to make this retroactive, it's just going to screw up the IRS's tax tables and computer programs.
It's going to make it a logistics nightmare for everybody to have to go back and redo their taxes, start paying higher taxes and get rebates, refunds, and start paying a new rate.
It'd just be simpler to.
I understand all that as one who hates that kind of minutiae, but they pay a lot of people in government to take care of a lot of that kind of stuff.
And I don't think that ought to be the primary argument for standing in the way of improving the deal and getting rid of all of this pork and all of this spending, which just keeps adding up in this bill.
It's even worse than what we informed you of on Friday.
Another unidentified female reporter.
There's a lot of comparisons being made between the 94 election and the 2010 election.
Do you think those are analogous?
Are they similar situations?
We played political kabuki for a year, had two government shutdowns.
The only reason we could do that is that the deficit was already coming down in a time when interest rates were the problem and the economy was coming back.
People just didn't feel it yet in 94.
We can't afford that.
We don't want to slip back in to a recession.
No, no, there hasn't been a slip out of one yet.
So this whole double-dip business view, we haven't gotten out of the first recession, so we can't slip back into one.
But again, I say, folks, look at this.
It's just me.
But up until Friday, the Democrat position was that the Clinton tax increases brought us a booming economy in the 90s, and that the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 gave us the Iraq War, the Afghanistan War, 4,000 dead soldiers, and the economic collapse, the recession, the subprime mortgage recession, subprime mortgage collapse, a homelessness foreclosure program handed by GM and Chrysler.
I mean, every horrible thing that happens because of Bush tax cuts, right?
And every great thing that happened in the 90s because of Clinton tax increases.
So would somebody explain to me why all that's now been thrown out or thrown upside down?
And in order to prevent a recession, we have to extend the Bush tax cuts.
Hmm?
Can some of you libs help me out here?
And again, just to remind you, they all said these tax cuts were for billionaires and millionaires only.
And now all of a sudden, we have to extend the Bush tax cuts so that the middle class will not be hurt.
I thought the middle class didn't have their taxes affected at all by the Bush tax cuts.
I'm so confused.
And can you blame me?
Tax increases in 93, 94 led to a booming economy.
Bush tax cuts destroyed that same economy.
And now what is it that Clinton Obama wants to preserve?
The things that they claim last 10 years have destroyed the economy in the country.
I need help figuring it out.
Can we, by the way, say that I guess Clinton was first black president?
I mean, he always, you know, when Tony Morrison said that he was, he didn't, he did not object.
Remember, Bill Clinton campaigned for his first election with the promise of a huge middle-class tax cut, And he immediately reneged shortly after being emaculated.
Clinton called a press conference.
He said, I have worked.
I have worked harder than I've ever worked on anything in my life.
I've studied this.
I've looked at it.
But I just can't do it.
We just can't follow through that middle-class tax cut.
In fact, it's just the opposite.
I'm going to have to raise taxes and make them retroactive.
And, well, let the IRS have it.
Look, that's what the IRS does.
The IRS commissioners out there saying, look, we've already got our computer program written.
I mean, it's going to delay people's refunds.
He's saying all the stuff to get people to, you know, people on his side.
We don't want to delay our refunds.
It's what's going to happen out there.
And by the way, Hillary blamed the Bush tax cuts for the 2001 downturn.
And we had a recession.
She blamed the put not 9-11.
She blamed the Bush tax cuts.
So I'm serious.
I don't know what really has happened here.
If the Democrats believe Clinton's tax increases led to a boom economy and Bush's tax cuts destroyed the economy, why do they want to extend the Bush tax rates?
Why wouldn't Clinton say, I tell you what, now that I got this podium, we sent Obama off that Christmas party with Michelle, whatever.
What we need to do here is raise taxes.
That's what I did.
So I did in 1993, 94.
Look what happened.
Look at that boom.
Clinton could have said that because it's true to everything the Democrats have been saying.
They've been blaming the Bush tax cuts for everything.
And now the architect of a boom economy with tax increases wants to extend the Bush tax cuts.
That's what these guys are both admitting that they have been wrong on everything.
Or, no, no, they're both admitting they've been lying.
Obama and Clinton both just admit by supporting the continuation of Bush that they've been lying.
Here's Peter, Lynchburg, Virginia.
We start with you on the phones today, sir.
Great to have you with us.
How are you, Rush?
Fine.
I thought I was watching a WWF wrestling match on Friday.
It looked like President Obama was speaking first and then had Bill Clinton reach into the public arena through the ropes for a tag.
Yeah, then Obama leaves.
And what did he say is the reason?
His wife was getting mad.
His wife was waiting for him for a claim.
He leaves the arena and leaves former President Clinton to wipe up the mess.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, essentially.
You know, let Clinton have this.
Let Clinton deal with this.
You know, Obama says, oh, I'm not a hands-on guy.
He has said this.
He has said he doesn't like the day-to-day minutiae.
He provides inspirational leadership.
He's the guy that inspires people to go out and do great things.
He doesn't like all this hands-on.
He has said that before.
He said it during the campaign.
He said it before he was emaculated.
No question.
But one thing: when you're talking about Clinton, don't say wipe up the mess.
You know, that could, well, it just doesn't work.
You know, it just reminds people of stains and blue dresses and lying under oath pizza deliveries at all hours of the Oval Office.
