If there's no government shutdown, I've been gearing up.
I know if there's a government shutdown, the media is going to be insufferable.
If there's a shutdown, I mean, we're going to be looking at graphics of Boehner with horns on his head and also I know all that.
But they keep asking us about sacrifice.
When are we going to sacrifice for the Iraq war?
They said.
When are we going to sacrifice?
It's about time the government sacrificed the little lipers.
One entity that never sacrifices.
If there is one entity that never suffers that doesn't hurt along with everybody in the private sector, and when you consider the government is responsible for that pain, maybe a little shared pain's not such a bad idea.

It's open line Friday.
Snurdley, you look like you can't believe what you're hearing today.
In 23 years and you still act like I don't believe what I'm hearing today.
There's no question he's look at.
Snerdley cannot believe that I had the audacity to say that Obama looks much closer to Jefferson Davis than Abraham Lincoln.
Look, if you're gonna have your military out there and demand that they put their lives on the line and you're not paying them, you've got slavery.
That's why I think the Reverend Jackson may want to define, redefine his uh his thinking on this.
Hi, welcome back.
Open line Friday, uh 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushball at EIB Neton.com.
When has the government ever had any skin in the game?
The government is always using our skin.
Always.
Eric Holder.
This is from Fox News.
In a letter to Department of Justice employees, uh, the Attorney General Eric Holder says uncertainty of the shutdown puts workers in a difficult position.
Never mind that the article in Fox News goes on to say that only about 20% of Justice Department employees would face furlough under this uh this so-called shutdown, which could last as long as two weeks.
According to the Department's 2011 contingency plan, which was finalized yesterday, not a single FBI official or U.S. Marshal in the field would be furloughed, so we would continue to be able to watch justified.
Old Raylan, Harlan County, Kentucky, would still get paid, and so the show would still be on the air.
It won't be any problem.
Let's go to the audio soundbites, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll start.
President Obama, last night, just to review all this, get us up to speed.
Here is Obama demanding an answer this morning.
What I've said to the speaker, uh, and what I've said to Harry Reid is because the machinery of the shutdown is necessarily starting to move, uh, I expect an answer in the morning.
And my hope is is that uh I'll be able to announce to the American people uh sometime relatively early in the day that a shutdown has been averted.
I'm sure he does hope he can announce the American people's shutdown has been averted.
Yes.
I um I expect an answer in the morning.
Well, the morning is coming gone, he didn't get one.
And now everybody, from the left and the right, you can find in various blogs, newspapers, television networks starting to question Obama's leadership.
In fact, you gotta hear this.
Let me find this.
It's Feynman who thinks that here's grabs on by 15.
Feynman thinks that Boehner is cleaning Obama's clock.
Last night on Hardball, Chris Matthews speaking to Feynman.
Matthews said, you know, I really feel for the guys.
A lot of people behind him that he hasn't had a deal with before.
These are not professional politicians behind him, these are the Tea Party people.
Uh, some have come in and they want to win-win-win and not compromise.
What I find interesting about this is I think in narrow sort of poker terms, Boehner's doing very well.
I think he's cleaning the president's clock.
I mean, he's got the White House up to 35 billion or something like that.
She's 35 billion.
We're talking pennies.
Here is Boehner this morning talking about the um federal budget negotiations, possible government shutdown troop payment, so forth.
We're close to a resolution on uh the policy issues, but I think the American people deserve to know when will the White House and when will Senate Democrats get serious about cutting spending?
A bill that fails to include real spending cuts will hurt job growth and signal that Washington's not serious about dealing with its spending addiction.
And I think the Senate should follow the House lead and pass the troop funding bill and do it today.
I also believe the president should sign the troop funding bill uh into law.
This is the responsible thing to do to support our troops and to keep our federal government open.
Not going to pay the troops, not gonna pay the troops.
The uh regime is adamant about this, and they're also not going to allow the defunding of Planned Parenthood.
So abortions must go on.
Democrat Party and President Obama, abortions must go on.
But if you're a citizen at Jim Moran's town hall and you stand up and you ask him why aren't the military going to get paid, you'll be told to shut up and to sit down.
Why doesn't the media ever remember that it was Obama who promised to cut the federal deficit in half by the end of his first term?
They probably do.
They just not gonna report it.
My question is what is he waiting for?
He promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term.
It's time he gets started on this.
Yeah, paying the troops is a distraction, don't you know?
This whole notion of a rider or a separate piece of legislation to pay the troops, that's a distraction.
Maybe I get an idea.
I got an idea.
Make the troops employees of Planned Parenthood.
Here we go.
Make the troops employees of Planned Parenthood.
Let's get the legislation on that rolling.
And then let's see them defund the troops.
I checked the email at the top.
This is understandable.
There are people who don't know who Jefferson Davis was.
And if you know, depending on your age, if you're relatively young, it might in America.
Don't you think?
Look at you remember John Silber's survey of American textbooks and the longest paragraph, the longest reference to Abe Lincoln they found was a paragraph.
Jefferson Davis was the president of the Confederacy.
Jefferson do they know what that um that's a good question.
For those of you in real linda, the Confederacy, that was the South in the war against Northern aggression.
They wore the gray uniforms in uh in uh gone with the wind.
And uh Jeff Jefferson Davis was their president.
These are the guys that got burned when Atlanta went up in flames.
That's the Confederacy.
So uh and he and Jefferson Davis was the leader.
And of course, the Confederacy were the slave owners and the military representing the slave and plantation owners back in those days.
Here's Dingy Harry this morning on the Senate floor talking about women's health and a possible government shutdown.
Anyone who says this debate is over abortion isn't being truthful.
It's about simple health services.
Yeah.
Republicans want to shut down the government because they think there's nothing more important than keeping women from getting cancer screenings.
This is indefensible, and everyone should be outraged.
The Tea Party, among others, they're the biggest push, is trying to move its extreme social agenda.
Issues that have nothing to do with funding the government.
We're willing it appears, clearly, to throw women under the bus, even if it means they'll shut down the government.
These guys, the Tea Party living rent-free like I am in Harry Reed's brain.
Uh And we had a caller Theo earlier.
How in the world?
We're not defunding Obamacare here.
By the way, it is Obamacare that is going to reduce the payments for women's cancer screenings, is it not?
Is it not Obamacare that's going to reduce the number of mammograms that they'll pay for?
Isn't Obamacare going to reduce all these kinds of cancer screenings for women on the basis that they get too many of them too often?
Yeah.
If the uh military all became employees of Planned Parenthood, then the left really could call military baby killers, and they'd be right for the first time.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh.
Check the email during the brief timeout, and uh man, there's some mad angry people out there over my comment about the military being baby killers now have back off you people.
Let me put this in perspective.
Here's the timeline, or here's here's the chronology.
Military will not be paid if there's a government shutdown.
Democrats in the Iraq War, John Kerry, Jack Mertha, Harry Reid, any number of them called our military baby killers, terrorists, any number of atrocities being committed by our troops, Abu grab all of that.
Come forward to today, where the regime will not sign legislation that pays the military, either separate legislation or a writer to the continuing resolution.
Because the Republicans are also demanding that Planned Parenthood be defunded.
What does Planned Parenthood do?
It kills babies.
Planned parenthood performs abortions.
So all I said was, well, then let's just make the military part of Planned Parenthood.
Thereby they would get funded, and then we could call them baby killers and it'd be true.
It's a rhetorical device to illustrate the utter hypocrisy and how wrong and foolish the left is on this.
Look, the Hyde Amendment.
Let me try it this way.
The Henry Hyde Amendment, Harry Reid supported the Hyde Amendment for most of his career.
Now the Hyde Amendment, which prohibited federal funds for abortion, was essentially repealed by Obamacare.
Even though it prevented federal funding of abortions, it was repealed.
Obamacare repeals it.
So we're returning to what used to be before Obamacare, and now they're calling that extreme.
Supporting what Reed used to support now is too extreme.
As usual, these Democrats, the left, they're standing in quicksand as they make all of these statements.
How many of Obama's czars are going to be sent home as non-essential employees if there's a shutdown?
How many of the White House limo drivers will be considered non-essential?
How many people are clean for the Obamas?
Who buy their clothes, who wash their clothes, who make their sandwiches, who tend the organic garden, will be considered non-essential and sent home.
Will Obama forgo his salary?
Will he stop flying around in Air Force One?
Will he stop the concerts and the golf and the basketball at the government shutdown?
Hell no.
None of this is going to impact him at all.
Let me ask this.
Given Obama's laxed approach to all of this, farming it all out, the negotiations, he sits there, I expect an answer in the morning while he goes off to meet with the Reverend Sharpton chow down on soul food.
By the way, I saw a picture of that.
I saw a picture of Obama chowing down on soul food, and Sharpton is looking at him like he can't believe what he's seeing, like he's looking at somebody from Darfur eating for the first time in a year.
Another Caranine Kennedy took Caroline Kennedy up there to um Sylvia's.
You just don't put anything in your mouth and chew, you just don't do it.
But Obama was wolfing down whatever Obama and then and Sharpton was looking at him with eyes wide and could not believe what he was looking at.
I saw the picture.
I saw it, I saw it yesterday.
But anyway, his attitude has been very lax, very laid back.
Except now when he's holding a couple of meetings to seem like he is the savior in all of this.
I expect an answer in the morning.
My assertion is that Obama's not even essential to any of this.
Obama hasn't been involved in any of this.
He'd been sitting up there in the ivory tower issuing commands, demanding this, expecting that.
Now we need to ask if he is considered an essential or non-essential employee of the federal government.
Just by the virtue of the way he conducts himself.
How many of the people on Muchell's staff will be sent packing?
She got a staff of 24.
Did you know that?
Muchell Obama has a staff of 24.
And I know a lot of you are probably offended.
What do you mean?
You don't talk about the president that way, Rush.
You don't ask questions of president essential or not.
Well, how essential can he be taking a vacation every two weeks?
I guarantee you this.
If you work someplace and they let you take a week or two vacation every every four weeks or so, I guarantee you they wouldn't look at you as essential.
All right, back to the phones because it is open line Friday.
Mike in Warsaw, Wisconsin.
Hi, great to have you here, sir.
Yay, Rush.
Frontline dittos.
Thank you very much.
Um I'm a business owner, my wife's a teacher, and I listened to you for 15, 20 years, and I've listened to you talk about how the left can go over the the deep end.
And now that I'm here and part of it and watching what's going on in Wisconsin, again, you are right.
Mm-hmm.
Usually it's just amazing to me the extent they will go to everything that they pulled in this last election cycle, and yet we were so energized enough to pull off the victory.
That's right.
Now that's really, they really ticked off that when they found 7,000 or four, actually, it was from 14,000 legal votes, which resulted in a 7500 vote lead for um Judge Prosser.
You know, it's it's one thing.
As I said, there's a part of me, there's a part of me that would love for this county clerk to have purposely withheld the votes just to spring them on the Democrats this way.
I know it didn't happen, but that's what they do.
Except they do it with illegally found votes.
Ours in this case are legal votes.
And that ticks them off even more.
I think a Democrats have more respect for us if we found 14,000 illegal votes.
Right now, all they are is mad because our 14,000 votes are legal.
But I'll tell you what, uh, that Prosser victory in all candidness should give us a lot of hope.
Admit it now, when you saw that race was so close, how can this be?
The election results in November.
Uh the Democrat senators fleeing the state rather than do their jobs.
How can how can the how can the public have changed its mind so fast?
Turns out they didn't.
Now, the left put three and a half million dollars, you know, I always look to try to find the positive in the upbeat.
The left put three and a half million dollars into the Supreme Court race.
Prosser versus Klappenberg.
If they can't win in Wisconsin, if they can't win in Wisconsin with all that union money and all that union power and all that propaganda, and the bust in union goons, they bust people in from across the country.
In ultra-liberal Wisconsin, then we really should have hope here, folks.
I uh I I kid you not.
Uh Don in Central Michigan, hi.
Welcome to the EIB network on Open Line Friday.
Hi, Ross, thanks for taking the call.
Yes, sir.
I want to say I told him I was a liberal, and they put me second in line, so you're not afraid to talk to liberal.
I also said I was a liberal with a sense of humor who's not angry.
I've been listening to you for 20 years.
You are a constant broadcaster.
I've listened to the environmental clack will updates and laugh, but today I I'm sensing a tone in your voice.
I don't want you to blow a gasket.
Things aren't as bad as you think.
Well, you you you you hear a tone of my voice on blowing a gasket.
Well, as I talk to the screener, we've gone from Jefferson Davis, the baby killers, to uh a lot of different subjects here.
What I'm saying is I think you can be a force for good in America.
Bring us together.
Don't go over the top, unless it's really funny.
But uh there's no evil uh liberals and no evons.
All right, so Jefferson Jefferson Davis and uh what's a few dead babies between friends.
That's a little over the top, and you're trying to bring me back and and save me as a force for good.
You know, you can go to twenty forty million viewers if you have all of us.
Didn't I just say that the Wisconsin election should give us hope?
Last caller was a nice guy.
Very, very nice guy.
One of the nicest liberals that I can ever remember having called the program, honestly.
Said he was a liberal with uh sense of humor, who is not angry.
Actually trying to uh help me thought I needed to dial it back a little bit.
Could was this guy calling from a museum by any chance?
Sturdle.
You don't know.
Tim in Minneapolis.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Great to have you with us.
Thank you so much for taking my call and uh the privilege to speak with you and the honor is seconded only by being able to shake George W. Bush's hand in March of 2011.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I appreciate that.
2001.
Um I'm calling about the uh letter that Qaddafi wrote, and I heard it yesterday and you uh mentioned it.
He wrote to his son, uh uh Abu Muamaba.
Sure, which makes me wonder this should put to rest the question whether Obama is a Muslim or not, because what uh what kind of Muslim would call an infidel his son.
Well, yeah, but we're also dealing with somebody whose um elevator may not go to the top floor in Qaddafi.
He did, he referred to him as my son, uh uh Abu Baraka, no b uh uh Baraka Abu Amuama.
And he said he understood why his son had to bomb Libya and he wished him well in his reelection efforts.
Sure.
So Qaddafi was essentially saying, look, I know why you gotta kick the crap out of us here, and we hope it works for you.
Yeah, I I just let you can't, you know, I wouldn't I wouldn't make the connection here that um yeah.
I do have a carbonite story for you.
Carbonite story.
Oh, I've been listening to you for many, many years, and uh I bought a desktop computer back in 2004, and uh I put it off and put it off and put it off.
And about a year and a half ago, I decided, you know, I'm gonna get carbonite, so I got it, and this last week uh I had a fatal crash, partially because it's it's uh PC and not a Mac.
But uh the other the other anyway, so I'm on my way to Minneapolis to do some training for next week, so I got carbonite restoring my files as we speak.
And I even uh I even am trying the the 45-day free uh go to my PC dot com uh so I can monitor the restoring progress as the classes.
Now isn't that cool?
You you have an iPad by any chance?
I do not.
Well, if you do if you get an iPad, the go to my PC has an iPad app now where you can actually do all that from your iPad.
Wow uh and it's cool.
They they demoed it for me the other day.
Uh by the way, there's I've heard some rumors that uh Carbonite backed up files are uh objecting to being restored to PCs.
It's not true.
Um they love Macs, but there's no truth to the rumor that backed up files on carbonite are purposely uh shutting down for for Windows machines.
They love Windows machines just like they w they love Macs.
Yeah, I wish I had a Mac again, but you know how that goes.
Take care and have a good day.
Thank you.
All right, open line Friday, Marlene in Bel Air, Michigan.
Hello and welcome to the program.
Rush.
Yeah.
Oh my goodness.
What an incredible honor this is.
Thank you very much.
I've been a student there for about Uh eighteen years now.
And I have a make the host look good question.
Oh, I love these.
You know, I don't get nearly enough questions anymore.
I I love getting questions and nobody asks me questions anymore.
Well, you're the only one that can answer this one.
I'm I'm convinced.
Um You and I are both convinced that Obama most of what he does or all of what he does is contrived.
I mean, he's planned it out and he does everything on purpose for some reason or other.
Right.
Now, in order to do all this, he has to have a lot of people in the know.
How does he do it?
How does he keep people in the know?
You know, that is an excellent question.
And you know where your crest how you your your question comes from from a belief.
Okay, we've got a president who for whatever reason seems intent on restructuring this country and turning it socialist.
He's got some animus against free market capitalism.
Why?
It's you know, where okay now, where does he where where does he find how how does how does he get people to go along with him?
Yeah, right.
They're all over the place.
He doesn't have to convince them.
That's he th the reason he's got czars is because they are exactly who he is.
Um this Kathleen Sibelius is Obama.
Every uh Eric Holder is Obama, and that's why he has chosen them.
I laugh, you know, when when news comes up about this guy Van Jones being a communist, how can Obama fix this?
He knew it.
Bottom line has no shortage of people who don't like the country as currently structured.
And and they're all over the university community.
They're all over Harvard and Yale, and that's that's Obama's uh stomping grounds.
And he's got he's got advisors who can point him to people who have the same sympathy.
That look at it's not a rare point of view on the American left to have an animus toward this country as as pounded.
It's not rare for leftist democrats to be anti-capitalism.
It's it's fairly common.
That's becoming obvious.
Yeah.
It's a wake-up call for everybody.
Most most Americans, and we can understand the you know the day-to-day arguments uh between liberals and conservatives and Democrats and Republicans and all that, but most of us have a tough time getting our arms around the fact that there are Americans, that there are people born here who hate this country.
But there are, and there are a lot of them.
Well, but when I say a lot, um I'm 10, 20 percent.
Which to me is a lot, yeah.
That's scary.
It is very scary.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so it's not it's not hard for him to find them at all.
He doesn't have to convince anybody.
He doesn't have to go out and uh and and have lectures and meetings with these people to uh give them marching orders.
They're already on the same page.
That's the scariest of all, Rush.
Yeah.
But y it's the truth, and you have to you have to recognize it for what it is.
Well, I I think you're absolutely right.
You're the only one that could just explain it.
Let me tell you something.
You got some people in City's bureaucracies are even more radical than Obama.
Look at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
You've got you've got judges.
Right.
You've got justices at various levels of our judicial system who are every bit as radical as Eric Holder or or Obama.
Mm-hmm.
Absolutely.
I mean the short answer is a new 24-7 member at I am absolutely enjoying it more than you know.
Thanks very much.
I'm flattered.
I really um you know, I don't I don't plug it much, but I'm glad that you did, because it's it really is encyclopedic.
It's a it's an encyclopedic website.
Absolutely right.
Yeah.
And further answer to your question, keep in mind that it was not Obama who got to the White House and then picked everybody to go with him.
The left picked Obama.
He didn't have to go seek them out.
Absolutely right.
They picked him.
You already had people who are of the same frame of mind.
I mean, you had Solalinsky, you've had people at Cloud Priven, you've got people at Pivon who who have already believed in the things Obama does.
They found him.
You value some of these people in the media, they found him.
Mm-hmm.
He didn't have to seek him out.
David Axelrod and George Soros made Obama.
Oh boy.
I think you're that's absolutely right.
There's no question about it.
You're scaring me more than a lot of people.
Not that he's a puppet, but but he's uh at the same time, he's not a bond villain.
He is not Ernst Stavro Blofeld with a little cat in the lap, giving orders to agent number one to go out.
He's he's uh he's part of a committee.
They chose him because they thought he was the one that could get elected.
And they were right.
What do they do?
Go out and find in in Joe Biden's own words.
Go find a clean articulate black guy.
Yeah, the Jeff Davis community.
You go out, you find a clean articulate black guy, and you know that the Republicans are not gonna dare be critical.
First black presidential candidate, they're gonna shut up.
They're gonna put duct tape on their mouths.
McCain saw to it, uh, and the rest is uh easy.
And then any criticism whatsoever, you simply throw the racism charge and you shut them up even further.
It was very um predictable.
No, I don't think Obama is the cat in Ernst Stavro Blofeld's lap.
He's got a little bit more stature than that, but I understand the comparison.
Audio sound by time, John Boehner, we're gonna start here.
He just had a little presser this afternoon.
And during the QA, reporters said, Mr. Speaker, the Senate Majority Leader, Dingy Harry, said today that um you do have an agreement, roughly around $30 billion in cuts, and that the only thing that's holding this up is a difference over Title 10 funding.
Is he telling the truth?
Almost all of the policy issues have been dealt with.
And there is no agreement on the spending line.
Uh and we're working to try to get there.
Is Planned Parenthood and Title 10 funding the issue that you have a problem with, and what do you claim?
Almost all of the policy writers have been done.
Well, he sounds really interested, doesn't it?
Almost all the policy writers have been done.
Well, is this Title X Planned Parenthood funding the issue you're having a problem with?
It is, folks.
It is.
Next question.
Well, what's your message to thousands of families who are planning on visiting the museums in Washington, the national parks around the country.
What's what's your message to them right now, Beehner?
Our goal is to keep the government open.
I've said it thousands and thousands of times, privately and publicly.
Our goal is not to shut down the government.
Our goal is to cut spending.
Also on Capitol Hill this afternoon, uh, female Democrat senators held a press conference to talk about the spending cuts and women's rights.
And we all know what that is.
Here is Senator Amy Klobushar, Democrat Minnesota.
A while ago, I was going through the metal detector line, which I always do, and there was a uh a deputy sheriff standing there, and she looked at me and she said, Those guys are not gonna mess with my birth control, are they?
And I made a commitment to her that no, they're not gonna mess with your birth control.
This is about a budget discussion, right?
This isn't about her birth control.
And that's what we're standing up here today.
And that's that yes, we're supposed to believe this.
We're supposed to sit here and have our intelligence assaulted.
Where that's that's what we're supposed to believe.
They are taking the hill.
They're trying to hold the hill for um birth control.
That's right.
This one keep us out of keep that they want to keep they would keep themselves out of our bedroom.
Right.
There was a deputy sheriff standing there.
She looked at me and said, Those guys, they're not gonna mess with my birth control, are they?
Do we believe that?
Do we believe in Amy Klobuchar going through the metal detector and some female deputy sheriff?
They're not gonna mess with my birth control, are they?
And that somehow that moved Senator Klobuchar.
That deputy sheriff reached, Senator Klobuchar.
At that moment, she made a commitment.
No, they're not gonna mess with your birth control.
So the women of the Senate are standing firm, standing up for your birth control.
Which of course means abortion.
If this actually happened, what the deputy sheriff said was, those guys is not going to mess with my abortions, are they?
And Klobishar said, Nope, we are not going to let them mess with your abortion.
But really it's not about your abortion.
It's about a budget discussion.
We're going to they there are no depth to which they will sink that they have any fear.
They'll just lie, make it up, humiliate, embarrass themselves.
What what what kind of somebody explain to me what what kind of uh snertly, I'm sure you'll know this.
What kind of birth control is allowed under Sharia law?
Not even I have a headache works in Sharia Law, folks.
Not even I have a headache.
Does the TSA stop people with Viagra?
*cough* *laughs*
Matt in Ontario, California, welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have Well, it's a birth control issue, she says.
I'm just wondering.
Matt, uh, great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Thank you, Russ.
Happy Friday to you.
Same to you, sir.
You can't do that to me right before you come on.
I'm sorry.
Anyways, I was wondering.
Um you know the theory you have where everybody's knowledge of history starts at their birth.
Yep.
Um, I was wondering at what point did it become acceptable for an elected U.S. representatives to insult the populace.
An example, the Tea Party.
Insert whatever party.
Well, you know, the Tea Party uh uh it precedes even the Tea Party.
Try being a conservative.
Uh and seriously, the Tea Party is a conservative in California.
Okay, exactly.
You understand.
I think the better question is when did it become fashionable for members of Congress to openly disrespect their voters like like like uh Fortney Pete Stark does, or that sound bite from Jim Moran that we have.
So it's you know, a military voter stands up and says, Well, why aren't the military getting paid?
Shut up and sit down.
For me personally, it just keeps pushing me further right, and I personally will never ever consider anybody on the left ever again.
Yeah.
It's rather despicable, and I'm tired of.
Every one of you that says that, remember now there are people that vote for Jim Moran who just love him saying that to a military guy.
They just crowded.
Let me tell you something.
The left considers you and me a bigger enemy than militant Islam.
And so when one of their elected guys comes along and tells us to shut up and sit down, they are happy.
So you want to know when did it all start?
When did this um uh open disrespect for voters and open insult to the American people start?
Gosh, it's hard to pinpoint it in the modern era, but uh it's it's I think fate of compliment, it's it's it's part of the um standard operating procedure of the American left and the Democrat Party.
That I would agree with.
Now I think I think politicians have always made fun of their voters.
Yeah, but not openly in public like they are now.
Well, to their core constituents they have.
Like look at Obama.
He's out there at uh in San Francisco, and he forgets that somebody from the Huffing and Puffington post is there with a live mic.
So he starts talking about the bitter clingers.
Well, consider his intelligence and let me tell you something.
