Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
No, you can't look at it that way.
That is the in that that is the entirely wrong perspective to look at it that way.
Ah, Snerdley's sitting here telling me about the speech last night and the Obama's.
That was not.
Let me put it this way.
I think I can finally explain the Obama doctrine in three words, 2012 or bust.
That's what the Obama doctrine is.
Folks, uh, greetings.
Great to have you here.
Uh music lovers, conversationalists all across the fruited plane, Rushlin Bull with unique insight and analysis.
Here on the cutting edge, telephone number 800 282-2882 and the email address Ilrushbo at EIB net.com.
First the speech did not come from the Oval Orifus.
Second, it happened at 7.30 Eastern time.
4.30 on the left coast.
Meaning it was not a priority for this speech to be seen.
It was not a priority for this speech to be heard.
Normally something of this supposed great import, you do it at 9 o'clock.
However, there was a very important television program on last night that ABC told the White House, we're not moving this.
If you do this at 9 o'clock, we're not going to cover it.
We'll let the other networks have it.
They did not want to move, nor did they want to interrupt dancing with the stars.
No, no, no.
I mean, laugh if you want.
It's the truth.
And that was fine with Obama.
My friends, I have an entirely different take on this speech last night.
I'm looking at uh, in fact, I've even got I don't know how entirely different it is.
Now that I think about it, I look at some of the stuff I have in uh in one of my stacks here of various media analyses.
I think it's an incorrect thing to look at Obama's speech last night as a foreign policy speech.
I think it's a mistake to look at it as a speech on Libya.
And the war or kinetic military activity.
Didn't say war.
I I think I think it's um the only proper way to look at this speech last night was as a campaign speech for 2012.
This was a speech designed exclusively for domestic political consumption.
This was not a speech about military policy.
It was not a speech about foreign policy.
It was a speech that Obama waited to give until he had a pretty good idea in his mind of the lay of the land.
It was a speech that was given just like pretty much all of Obama's speeches.
A speech in which he's jockeying for position.
It's all about making him look good.
The key to this speech last night was the president of the United States told a known coward, Mohar Gaddafi, that the world would be better off if he weren't part of it.
Now Obama made a great point about we're not gonna do this militarily.
We're not gonna sit in trouble.
We want him gone.
And the rest of the world wants him gone.
Excuse me.
And I knew that I was right when I saw and heard Obama rip into both Bush 43 and Clinton.
When he starts talking about how long it took in Iraq, eight years, which it actually didn't.
Um this is where he's wrong.
Regime change in Iraq took what a couple days.
We got rid of we got rid of Saddam Hussein within two days of moving in there, much faster than Obama has gotten rid of Qaddafi, but Qaddafi Obama wants to make it look like Gaddafi's gonna go.
It all hinges on Qaddafi quitting.
All of this, this speech last night totally hinges on Obaf on Qaddafi quitting.
And folks, if he does, and I hate to be the one to tell you this, but if Qaddafi decides in the next two weeks, month, whatever, to go into exile, you're gonna have the biggest victory speech that Washington's ever thrown, and it's all gonna be about how great Obama's diplomacy, power of persuasion, how great his words are.
Why, all it took was one speech nine days late, but when Obama finally rolled up his sleeves and got involved, Qaddafi finally heard the message, and he's gone.
It won't matter who replaces Gaddafi.
It could be the Muslim Brotherhood, could be Osama bin Laden.
It won't matter because it's gonna take a while.
And by the time that happens, it'll all be forgotten.
By that time, whoever takes over Libya can be back to being blamed on Bush.
No, no, I'm I'm I'm very serious about it.
I got sick to my stomach watching this last night.
I got sick to my stomach thinking about this last night.
Because I like you, I got I I got caught up and we could, we could analyze it as a as a foreign policy military whatever speech, it was a disaster in that regard.
It was an it was pathetic.
It was incompetent, it lacked energy.
Obama said a bunch of things that he doesn't believe.
I I almost thought he was about ready to start making a case for American exceptionalism.
He said things for the first time last night he doesn't believe.
He got really close to articulating the Bush doctrine, which everybody wants to be free, and wherever anybody wants to be free, we're gonna go there and make it happen.
He doesn't believe that.
But when you look at what he knows, vis a vis 2012, his re-election campaign, where the independents are today, he knows that the vast majority of the American people do believe in American exceptionalism.
He knows the vast majority of voters want an exceptional America.
So he's um pliable, very comfortable with making people think that he sees the world and the country the same way.
If Qaddafi doesn't leave two weeks, two months, if Qaddafi doesn't leave, well, no big deal, no real change.
Um Obama can't look any worse than he does.
But if Qaddafi decides to scram, and look at this story from the UK independent, West willing to strike immunity deal with Qaddafi to end conflict, West, that would be us.
Britain and other coalition countries would be prepared to allow Qaddafi to escape prosecution, be granted safe haven as part of a deal to end the conflict in Libya.
Publicly, David Cameron has called for Colonel Qaddafi to face an investigation by the International Criminal Court in Hague, but privately government officials suggest there's growing support for a deal which would allow Qaddafi immunity and the chance to live out his life in another country with some of his wealth.
If that happens, folks, I want to warn you, you are going to see media orgasms like you haven't seen, not even in Grant Park on election night in 2008.
Because you have no idea how desirous the American media is to be able to portray Obama as a kick butt military leader.
You have no desire, no idea.
You can't understand the desire the media has to portray Obama as one of the most powerful and decisive foreign policy presidents in the history of the country.
You have no idea.
So he makes this speech last night.
If Libya turns out good, meaning if Qaddafi quits, Obama's gonna he'll he'll say he won a war.
And he'll take credit for it.
If it fails by that, if if if Qaddafi does not leave, Obama's still on the good side of everything because he's involved in a humanitarian effort to save countless lives.
And it won't matter that Qaddafi retained power if if he stays in power because humanitarian things.
So that's the way to look at this through the prism of the 2012 re-election.
Not as a foreign policy speech, not as a military speech.
It's a domestic speech.
And he set himself up.
I'm even wondering if perhaps, and he's got this incredible ego.
One of the things maybe made him go on that vacation to Rio, he might have thought that simply with the threat that we would go in there that Qaddafi would quit then.
But I am I'm convinced, you can't talk me out of it.
I'm convinced that this whole speech was nothing more than a campaign speech for 2012 to buck up Obama's 2012 foreign policy credentials and to uh to set up a scenario where if it happens,
the word great, unique, special, forceful, whatever, could be applied to Obama.
And look at the contrast that would be in in um in practically every program here for the past week.
What's the subject been?
Incompetence, disinterest, uh lack of knowledge.
I mean, he's been taking hits from everybody.
What's the mission?
How do we define victory?
Why didn't he go to Congress?
I mean, Obama's been taking hit after hit after hit from his own side, from the media, from us.
And last night he makes it clear the whole thing here, Qaddafi goes.
If Qaddafi goes, and if you're Qaddafi, by the way, let's look at this now.
You're a well-known coward.
Well, the guy shut up for 15 years after Reagan bombed him.
Didn't he?
Not a word.
We we went into Iraq and Qaddafi gave up his nukes and a number of other things.
So now you're Gaddafi, and here's somebody you think is one of you, you know, from Africa, a Muslim.
That's what Gaddafi thinks of Obama.
He said so.
Telling the world that it would be better off if Qaddafi were dead, or at least not in Libya.
So Qaddafi's sitting there thinking, my gosh, the whole world thinks I would be.
Now, a guy like that might believe that Obama's lying when he says we're not going to use our military to get him, we're not gonna.
In fact, I would bet you that Qaddafi thinks that Obama was lying, and that the U.S. military and who knows who else is coming for him.
And if if Qaddafi thinks that, and if he likes money and if he wants to stay alive, and if somebody will promise him exile, don't be surprised if he takes it.
I'm just telling you, if he does, it's gonna be a horror show.
The most incompetent, the most unqualified, least qualified guy in whatever room he walks into is going to be heralded as the greatest statesman of the 20th century.
No, I mean 20th.
They'll launch him into FDR area.
You what?
Sturdley, you forget what I said.
The media, you do not know the desire they have to put this guy in that crowd.
FDR, Churchill, I'm telling you.
You do not know.
I'm just warning all of you here.
It's it's.
What if Qaddafi's forces route these guys and there's a humanitarian well, there is there is a potential for um uh the downside here for uh for Obama, if Qaddafi's uh guys route the rebels uh and humanitarian disasters uh continue to happen, that'll just ratchet up demand for a more uh strident, forceful uh military policy, and in in which case Obama's laid it out.
Uh we're a great country.
Uh we alone protect and stand for freedom.
He's built himself an excuse for ratcheting it up, Mr. Sturdley.
He's built himself an excuse for moving in in a more forceful way if he has to.
He didn't use the word war, he didn't talk about the rebels, he didn't talk about Congress, he did talk about NATO and the UN, but he didn't answer a lot of questions that a lot of people were hoping he would answer.
He what he did was wait to give this speech nine or ten days to have some sort of lay of the land.
Most presidents who have guts and fortitude give this speech on day one, folks, and explain why.
And tell the American people the who, what, where, why, what are we doing here?
Why are we doing it?
What's the objective?
You take the country into war, you tell the people at Twitter, we haven't even done that.
This is kinetic military action.
He waits nine days.
I'm convinced to get the lay of the land to figure out where he is, figure out what he can say, what he should say, is going to end up making him look good.
It's all about him.
And in this case, last night was about the 2012 presidential election.
Last night was a domestic campaign speech.
We will be back.
Sit tight, do not go away.
He can't, he can't dare identify the rebels that we are supporting.
They got a they've got Al-Qaeda connections.
If they're not Al-Qaeda directly.
I was just asking snerdly during the break.
I'll ask you.
If you watched Obama's speech, were any of your questions answered last night?
No.
They weren't.
I mean, the speech was supposed to explain why we're helping the rebels.
It was pretty bizarre because he didn't mention the rebels.
He didn't mention who they are.
He didn't mention what we're doing to help them.
He went into George W. Bush platitudes about freedom.
And America's role.
And he came dangerously close to endorsing American exceptionalism.
That had to be causing near heart failure and panic out there.
Um on the left.
And even as he was speaking, uh, it was reported that the rebels were executing unarmed Qaddafi loyalists, which is that's the same thing that the Obama claimed Qaddafi's troops would do if they had the chance.
They were doing what Obama claimed they would do if they had the chance, but that his humanitarian effort was stopping.
So we had that's why we had to intervene to prevent such a massacre, which was already happening.
Why is it okay for the rebels to kill people and not Qaddafi's forces?
Is it is it somehow more humane when the rebels kill people?
Yeah, because we're on the side of the rebels.
Now, the Washington Times sort of confirms my little theory here.
Backer of attack credits Obama for Libyans uprising.
White House henhook Samantha Power, Mrs. Cass Sunstein, a former basketball buddy of Obama's.
That's how he got to know her.
The word is he got to know her because she wrote something really profound.
She was a basketball buddy.
Samantha Power wanted to go into sports casting.
And that's the realm in which Obama met her.
She's also a former news reporter.
She's now a self-proclaimed anti-genocide advocate.
She said, Samantha Power, Obama's two-year campaign to promote human rights helped trigger the uprising in Libya.
So you see where this is headed.
Obama gives his speech last night, nine days late, gets the way of the land, gives a domestic policy speech, makes it clear that the objective here is solely to get rid of Qaddafi, which that the White House they must think is a good bet.
Don't doubt me.
The White House has to be convinced that Qaddafi's gone somehow, somehow, on his own in the next two weeks to a month.
Then this morning in the Washington Times, Samantha Power comes out and says that the Libyan uprising was because of the courage of Barack Obama.
President Obama's two-year campaign to promote human rights helped trigger the uprising in Libya.
It wasn't Bush and Iraq.
It wasn't Tunisia.
It wasn't Egypt.
It wasn't Clinton.
It was Barack Obama.
So the White House putting out the news that all of this in the region is happening because Obama has inspired it.
That's another reason, Snerdley, that he won't talk about the rebels and who they are.
Now, Samantha Power made a speech at Columbia University yesterday.
She's identified as the director of Multilateral affairs at the National Security Council.
She defended her support for the military operation against Qaddafi.
Said the president's effort through speeches in various foreign capitals made it easier for other nations to stand with the United States against tyrants.
The president has argued our interests, our values cannot be separated.
So here you have the White House the day after the speech.
Remember the purpose of the speech, 2012 campaign.
Big forceful leader, big talker, big influence, big stick, people fear Barack Obama, contrary to what everybody thinks.
And here's Samantha Power saying, all of this, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, it's all happening because of Barack Obama's words.
Remember, words are Obama's number one asset.
Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of speeches, in his view.
So they're setting the table now for when Qaddafi goes, it will be Obama's speech last night.
The template is set, the narrative is written.
Samantha Power, the Washington Times, Washington Examiner Day, not sure which doesn't matter, says Obama's words have inspired the Middle East uprisings.
Keep a sharp eye on Moamar Qaddafi the next month, two weeks.
Let me ask, though, while we were actually going to war, where was Obama?
Not last night, but nine days ago, ten days ago.
Where was he?
He was playing golf.
He was vacationing in Rio.
He was doing everything he could to distance himself from what was going on in Libya just in case anything went terribly wrong.
He's not going to be there.
He's not going to make himself present.
He's not going to establish a connection until he's relatively certain how it's going to turn out.
Truly a gutless wonder.
Most presidents make the speech he made last night on day one.
He was playing golf.
He was in Rio vacationing.
He came out of hiding when he thought it was safe.
You know, folks, there are plenty of humanitarian crises going on in the world.
There's a very serious one on the Ivory Coast.
Now the Ivory Coast doesn't have oil.
Libya is loaded with oil, as we pointed out yesterday.
Now what if I'm what if I'm um what if I'm what if what am what if I'm right?
Because who's going to take over?
If Qaddafi leaves, who takes over?
Nobody is going to think about that.
Nobody's going to really care about that because whoever takes over will not immediately be known.
Nor will who they are immediately be seen or visible.
But let's say it's Al Qaeda.
Let's say it's the Muslim Brotherhood.
Let's let's say all of these Middle Eastern uprisings end up putting a radical Islamic anti-American regime in place.
Let's say that that looks like it's happening in Egypt.
Let's say it happens in Libya.
Let's say that Obama's words, Samantha Power, inspiring this freedom uprising.
That's what they're telling us to believe now.
What happens if that's bogus?
Which we know it is.
What happens if we get really virulent anti-American regimes?
Radical Islamic regimes.
The media will never ask who lost the Middle East.
Well, if they do, it'll be blamed on George W. Bush for the invasion of Iraq, destabilizing the Middle East by invading Iraq.
But nobody will ever cite Obama's historic Cairo address to the Muslim world.
Nobody, nobody will ever suggest that a militant extremist Muslim uprising is because of anything Obama did.
This is where we are.
This is this is what we face.
And I mention all of this simply as a as a cautionary tale.
Because the irony here that if you look at Obama's speech last night as a foreign policy speech, if you look at it in Any technical way at all.
It was a disaster.
It was as continually pathetic as everything else this administration has offered since this all began.
The Washington Times has a great editorial illustrating this.
Being a leader is about more than reading off a teleprompter.
No, it's not.
As far as Obama's concerned, reading off a teleprompter is who he is.
The words on the teleprompter and who puts them there, that's who Obama is.
And they've set the table now.
Obama's words have led to the uprising for democracy and peace.
And Obama's words will be the weapon that vanquish Mohar Gaddafi.
But the Washington Times.
Interesting take, unbeknownst to the novice commander-in-chief.
Obama faces a mass of contradictions that makes this conflict a hard sell.
Mr. Obama has started a war that he says is not a war.
But everybody knows it's a war.
Mr. Obama is using military force, but his Secretary of Defense says there is no vital American interest involved.
Last night Obama tried to claim that there is a vital American interest, and that is somebody around the world wants to be free.
And that's who we are.
I know he practically choked saying it, but somebody put it on the teleprompter for him to say, because it's a 2012 campaign speech.
That's the Obama doctrine, 2012 or bust.
Mr. Obama sold the country and the United Nations on a no-fly zone, but coalition forces are targeting Libyan ground troops.
We've got special ops on the ground in Libya.
Obama said we'll never have boots on the ground in Libya.
Mr. Obama's mandate was to protect civilian lives, but he is actively siding with the rebellion.
And the rebels are taking civilian lives.
The rebels are killing people, but apparently it's okay when they do it.
It's not okay when Qaddafi does it.
Mr. Obama has praised the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people, but many of the rebels are Islamist radicals, even members of Al Qaeda.
But he doesn't dare tell us this last night.
Doesn't even mention rebels.
Mr. Obama has gone to war to prevent a bloodbath in Libya, he says, but he only offers empty words to innocent Sir Syrians being gunned down by the Assad dictatorship.
Mr. Obama has said the United States not seeking to force regime change, but believes that Qaddafi has to go.
And this is key.
No, no, Russia, he said he said it's not our job to get rid of it.
Yes, he did.
If you listen, if you go back and listen to this, Qaddafi has to go.
He said we're not going to do it militarily, but he's got to go.
Who says we're not going to do it militarily?
I mean, for crying out loud, Jonathan Alter, half the press corps been praying that somebody would shoot Qaddafi.
We had the audio sound bites.
They know what's going on.
If somebody would just kill Qaddafi, then we can save Obama.
That's what they know.
It's all about Qaddafi.
If I ran the Republican Party, I'd go talk to Qaddafi and I'd say whatever it takes, don't leave.
Well, he's made this a domestic campaign issue.
Barack Obama has staked a lot here on what Qaddafi does.
So I'd pay Qaddafi to hang in.
Build some security at the palace there, what have you.
Well, he's gonna it's Obama's made it this.
Come on, folks, don't give me Obama going out there saying we're not we're not gonna get rid of Qaddafi, but he's gotta go.
What the hell does that mean?
We're not gonna get rid of him, but he's gotta go.
You your Qaddafi, you're sitting there chewing your fingernails.
What does this mean?
Qaddafi knows the score.
They know they want him gone.
Gaddafi knows that Jonathan Alter said the other day, it'd be nice if somebody put a bullet in his head.
So they probably got Jonathan Alter posters all over the Qaddafi Palace with a sharp eye, warning to keep out for this guy.
Obama said that there were no boots on the ground in Libya.
Reports are that some boots have led at special ops.
Mr. Obama said the operation would be handed over to NATO, but the U.S. will still be doing the heavy lifting.
NATO, by the way, said they're not gonna take it till Thursday.
They were supposed to take it tomorrow.
But NATO, they're gonna delay the handoff until Thursday.
I don't know why.
The hope is that Qaddafi will leave before then so that Obama can really get all the credit.
Mr. Obama said Operation Odyssey Dawn would be limited to days, not weeks, but now it's projected to go on for months.
We had that yesterday.
And finally, from the uh Washington Times, Mr. Obama denounced his predecessor.
George W. Bush for unilateralism.
The O force has gone to war with no congressional authorization, fewer coalition partners, and weaker support from the Arab world.
Obama did trash both Bush and Clinton last night.
He trashed Clinton on how long it took in Bosnia.
And he trashed Bush on how long it took and how much it cost in Iraq.
And it was very clear that Obama's point is, I'm going to get rid of this guy in a lot less time, and it's going to cost a lot less money because I'm much more qualified than those two boobs.
Now, I remind you that regime change in Iraq did not take eight years.
It took a day and a half.
Once we started the shock and awe.
That he was tacky.
Yeah, that was childish.
I thought it was very childish and immature.
I'm better.
I'm smarter.
Just because I say so.
So all these contradictions I just shared with you, they are all of Obama's making.
And they are the product of trying to preserve an exalted image that very few people still share.
It's about recapturing it.
So, folks, Samantha Power, again.
The newspaper today.
Obama's words inspired all of these uprisings.
She said so.
The two years of Obama talking about this, beginning with a Cairo speech.
That's what's responsible for this.
If Qaddafi goes, it'll be his words from last night.
If they can do that, if they can reconnect, if they can re-establish that Obama's words move mountains, then they have successfully reignited the 2008 campaign.
Don't doubt me.
Audio soundbites, a couple just to have fun here.
Let's go back and revisit uh me on this program yesterday.
Little montage as we counted down eagerly.
The oh, by the way, Snurley made a good point.
I I myself found myself distracted last night.
Every time, you know, listen to that speech.
Every time Obama used the word regime.
Which one's he talking about?
His or Gaddafi's.
Anyway.
Here's a montage of your host yesterday on this program.
Seven hours and ten minutes.
President Obama and remarks on the Libya.
We're only six hours away now from President Obama and a big announcement on Libya.
We're only five hours, 45 minutes away now.
Five and a half hours, ladies and gentlemen.
Five hours to be exact, 24 minutes.
And Barack Obama will explain why we are in Libya.
Five hours and 24 minutes.
Five hours and 14 minutes.
We're eagerly waiting.
President Obama speaking to the nation tonight at 7.30 to explain why we're in Libya.
President Obama at 7.35 hours, 23 minutes and 15 seconds from now.
Four and a half hours for Obama Wolf Blitzer will continue our countdown, starting with his show at five o'clock on CNN.
Which he did.
Happening now, President Obama is just hours away from speaking of the nation.
Looking ahead to President Obama's speech on Libya tonight.
We're counting down at President Obama's major speech on the U.S. mission in Libya scheduled to begin two hours from now.
President Obama has a huge speech on Libya tonight.
President Obama is preparing to defend the U.S. mission in Libya to Congress, the nation, and indeed the world.
One hour from now, we're waiting for President Obama's speech coming up in about 45 minutes.
President Obama's speech only 30 minutes away.
The President's address to the nation only a few minutes away.
So we uh we helped CNN yesterday with their day-long countdown to uh Obama's 2012 reelection campaign speech.
All right, let's grab a couple of uh phone calls.
We're gonna start Lake Charles, Louisiana.
This is David.
Thank you for the call, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, thanks, Ross.
Listen, I just wanted to make a comment about our first ever community organizing president who made it perfectly clear last night that the UN was taken over.
You touched on this, they were to take it over on Wednesday.
How in the world can there be such a bumbling era that you come address the nation, you address the world, his leadership rule about this is to be transferred over Wednesday and less than twelve hours later.
Uh it's not going to happen on Wednesday.
You know, it just doesn't make sense that his community organizing skills worldwide has totally failed.
They're just delaying it a day.
Uh the uh NATO is all matter.
He was told he told us it was going to happen on Wednesday.
How can you address the nation that you're going to do something being the president of the United States of America?
You're asking the wrong.
You you you're you gotta understand this is a NATO problem.
You need to be calling Brussels, and you need to be asking them how in the hell can you guys embarrass Barack Obama like this?
He went on national television and he told the world that you guys are taking over on Wednesday, and then you what are you trying to do?
Embarrass him, you announce the next day you're not gonna take over till Thursday.
I don't know what to say about that, Russia.
Well, I I know you don't because it's it's it's uh You can't embarrass the Messiah like that.
Um well they did.
They they did.
They they um they did if you if you read Obama's books, by the way, we've chronicled this countless times, he did not accomplish anything as a community organizer.
He very little, if anything, did he uh did he accomplish by his own admission?
I mean, he he most of what he described sounds like a laughable fiasco.
If you read his books on what he talked about doing as a community organizer, David Thanks.
This is Tom in um in Mifflin, Pennsylvania.
West Mifflin or just Mifflin?
Hey, Rush.
Hey.
Megados from Central Pennsylvania.
Okay.
Between State College in Harrisburg.
Thank you, sir, for calling.
Thank you.
I just would like to know if this all plays out as you described, do you think that the American people are going to buy into it?
I mean, do you think that his poll numbers will start going up?
Because the more that you expose him, the more that he is just becoming such a joke.
I worry about it.
Don't buy into him.
I um to be honest, I I worry about it.
I I I know that you take a look at look at I think one of the reasons why the speech was given at 4 30.
Half of the country didn't hear it.
Yeah.
Um they're out on the left coast, uh, lined up at the welfare office, unemployment office.
Um the other half 7 30, some of them have just gotten home, some not off the trains yet.
Um normally a speech of this importance made at nine o'clock Eastern time.
Um I I you know damn well that the media, like I said, is just it they're they're panting to be able to broadcast this story.
Your question will the American people buy fewer and fewer will.
The the media is just a joke, and and the people realize that.
They understand that, but I just don't think they're gonna buy into this.
Well, we'll see.
Um I'm I still have not abandoned the true objective here of this program and all of us.
Yes.
Regime change in twenty months in this country.
Yep.
Now, what one of the reasons I I could have you know, I I debated whether or not to share this theory of mine with people today.
Because I um I've chatted with some people uh via email and instant message this morning, and I depressed them all.
I with my theory on it.
You should have said I walked in here, Snerdley was just licking his chops.
Boy, he thought he thought the table and said he thought Obama was so bad, which he was in in the in the foreign policy arena in the substance of it.
He was horrible.
It was pathetic.
And Snerdley just knew it was slice and dice time, and I gave Sturdy the theory, and his eyes opened wide, his head hung low, and his mouth stood agape.
And I I shared this with others.
You know, I get these excited emails.
Boy, Rush, I can't wait for you.
Tear Obama part said, Wait a minute, wait a minute.
And they wrote back, see, I didn't think of it this way.
Oh my God.
So I depressed a lot of people today.
So I thought, should I do this or not?
And I decided to go ahead and go public with a theory to try to throw water on this if it does happen.
Put out this fire a little bit before it happens, so that if it does, uh nobody is really surprised by it.
Back after this.
Oh, come on, Sterley.
Of course, I wasn't serious about paying Qaddafi to hang around.
I said that to make a point to try to illustrate that this is a domestic political speech last night.
And it's a re-election Obama has thrown in.
He thinks his re-election is based on Qaddafi going, based on his words.
Of course I wouldn't pay Qaddafi.
