Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Now, seriously, can there be any doubt here, folks, that the president is delaying the start of his latest giveaway speech to the Middle East to coincide with the start of this program?
It's supposed to start at 11.30.
And in a couple of minutes, he's going to be walking out there.
I'll bet you, I'll bet you that Barack Obama is never late for dinner.
I'll bet you he is never late for his tea time on the golf course.
They've had all the media waiting.
They've had the audience waiting in there, much like the cadets at West Point had to wait for hours and hours and hours.
This is arrogance.
It is obnoxiousness.
Can't even keep his word about a start time.
Not even disciplined enough to show up on time.
This is being billed as a major speech, folks, on the Middle East.
And all it is, you know what?
This is actually going to be good because I'm going to be able to tell you what this speech is before he gives it.
And we'll be able to see how much of what I say is right.
I've got a whole little cheat sheet here of notes that I made, comments that I was going to make about this speech, but he hasn't made it yet.
He's going to be making it while we're doing the program.
I will not have a chance to hear this guy while he makes his speech other than during a couple commercial breaks.
That won't be enough to get a full-fledged idea.
I'll just tell you, it seems like every two, by the way, welcome, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, where it's always the right place.
It's always the right time.
Our telephone number is 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, Newt Gingrich will be here at the top of our final hour, top of the third hour.
It's a little bit after 2 o'clock Eastern time today.
It seems like every two to three weeks, President Obama needs the nation to stop everything it's doing to listen to him give a speech.
Sometimes he has big news like Bin Laden's killing, although he screwed that speech up.
But most of the time, it's some policy announcement or whatever.
And most of the speeches are an attempt to find a way to get in front of issues that he's either screwed up or hasn't been heard on before.
And he needs to try to draw attention to himself to try to convince people that he's in charge after letting things spiral out of control.
And that's exactly what's going on here.
The Middle East is spiraling out of control, and he's trying to get in front of it.
There's this notion, all the diplomats and all the wonks, the think tank people are calling this thing the Arab Spring.
And it supposedly is a flowering of democracy, an uprising.
And so Obama's out there trying to get in front of it and own it.
But I'll take you back to some of the all-time favorite soundbites that we've played on this program.
Our old buddy Nick Robertson at CNN, who was down there at Tahriri Square, which is a circle in Cairo.
And he ran up, he found Mustafa and he found Ahmed.
And he's asking them, what do they think of President Obama?
And they couldn't have cared less.
They said, Obama's not on our side.
Obama hadn't done anything for us.
Obama's been all over the ballpark on this.
And Nick Robertson was forced at the end of those two sounds.
Well, as you can see, it's a growing appreciation for President Obama.
No, there wasn't a growing appreciation for President Obama.
What he's going to do here is give away the store.
We are broke.
If the Middle East needs money, it's called Saudi Arabia.
It's called Qatar.
It's called Bahra.
It's called the oil-producing states.
It's called Dubai.
It's called the United Arab Emirates.
That's where the money is.
Why is it, you know, we're continuing the myth here that we are the world's power broker when Obama doesn't even believe that?
Obama doesn't want us to be the power, but he wants himself to be.
He doesn't want the country to be.
USA Today headline, Obama to propose economic help to Egypt, Tunisia in Middle East speech.
He's going to tell them how to create jobs.
What?
He's going to sell his t-shirts over there?
He's got some birther t-shirts.
Ever since the birth certificate thing was resolved, he put the long-form birth certificate out there.
They actually have their own thriving merchandise business.
They are.
They're selling Obama birther t-shirts or something.
What's he going to do?
Tell the Middle East how to lower health care costs while he's at it?
Obama to propose economic help to Egypt, Tunisia, in Middle East.
Economic growth at Key to Middle East reform.
AIDS said the president will discuss ways that countries can help create jobs while reducing corruption.
He's going to tell them this.
What did our NASA Muslim outreach bomb out?
He now has to come in and do it himself.
And I'll tell you what, don't be surprised if there's a subtle reference here to Israel being a problem.
And I think if he does this in this speech, if he pushes Israel to make peace with the terrorists, these closet terrorists and Hamas and Fatah, then he deserves to be hammered.
Because it will be obvious he's got a Jewish problem if he takes the occasion of speech to do that.
And I just, I would not be surprised at all.
So here is Hillary's out there doing the warm-up now.
The speech is at the State Department, so she's doing the warm-up.
And so you have Obama's latest world historic speech bumping up right against the start of the big show here, which is probably the main reason he's giving it.
It's not an accident, folks.
They advertise this thing at 11.30, then 11.40, and for 45 minutes, all the networks had their little graphic at the bottom of the screen.
We are moments away from President Obama big speech on the Middle East.
Ben Stein, we all love Ben Stein here.
CBS News on their Sunday morning show.
I want to share with you what Ben Stein said about the Arab Spring.
The Arab Spring is an uprising against Israel.
That's what the Arab Spring is.
It's not a flowering of democracy.
Whatever it is, Obama is going to try to shape it in the minds of the American audience that he has here today, trying to get out in front of it.
As I said, most of his speeches are an attempt to find a way to get in front of issues that he's messed up or hasn't been heard on before, trying to draw attention to himself, convince people that he's the one in charge, after letting things spiral out of control.
Here's Ben Stein.
The Arab Spring as a force for democracy, human rights, and peace in Egypt seems to me to be a fraud.
The dictator and his entourage who were kicked out of Egypt were pro-West, a bit restrained on Israel, open to free enterprise, and resistant to Iranian-sponsored terror.
He's talking about Mubarak.
Egypt is now rapidly becoming anti-Israel, pro-Iran, pro-the Iranian-sponsored terror group Hamas.
Very far from being pro-human rights, he's talking about Egypt, the Arab Spring.
They are arresting businessmen right and left in Egypt just for the crime of being successful.
They have arrested Mubarak's sons and have said they plan to try Mubarak himself.
The most potent of the political forces in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, hates the United States, loathes Israel, condemns the killing of bin Laden, whom they praised as a martyr, and have been wedded to terror for their entire existence.
That's the Muslim Brotherhood, about which security people in this regime have told us, eh, they're no big deal.
Okay, Hillary has seeded the stage, C-E-D-E-D, not S-E-E.
I got the wrong idea.
Been talking about seating things a lot lately here, in terms of Schwarzenegger in his bid to become a real Kennedy.
She's seated the stage now, and the one is now ready to speak.
Ben Stein says the Muslim Brotherhood will probably take over Egypt completely sooner or later.
Has anybody noticed, he asks, that the common denominator of all the successful Arab street movements is that they're sympathetic to Iran.
When the dust settles, Iran is going to own the Middle East, except for maybe Saudi Arabia if we have the guts to help them, which I doubt very much.
We're going to lose our friends in Bahrain.
They're not nice guys, but they're pals of ours anyway.
We're going to lose our pals in Yemen, and it'll possibly have an actual al-Qaeda government in Yemen.
There's a gigantic regional coup by Iran taking place, and we're doing very little, if anything, to stop it.
We're going to regret helping the Egyptians kick out Mubarak as much as we regret helping Khomeini force out the Shah.
You can call it the Arab Spring if you want, but with Iran now the regional superpower, it's a lot more like an extremely bleak Mideast winter.
You've heard it here first.
That is Ben Stein from this past Sunday on the CBS Sunday show.
I have to tell you, when I first heard about this speech, I just assumed Obama was going to kick off another apology tour.
But it's being billed as an outreach to the Arab world.
And it looks like Obama's plan, based on everything I've read here.
We'll see if I'm right when this thing's over and we can review the sound bites.
It looks like Obama's plans to get the Middle East to love us by giving them more money, which makes sense because Obama has been spending other people's money to buy loyalty or votes for his entire political career.
Now, let's review.
Since the signing of the Camp David Accords in 1978, we have been giving Egypt $2 billion a year in aid.
And now Obama wants to double that, according to advance notice of the contents of his speech today.
He wants to forgive them a billion dollars in debt and give them another $1 billion in new aid, a total of $2 billion.
And we can't even be sure the Muslim Brotherhood won't be running the show a few months from now.
It's likely that they will be.
So we're just handing over $2 billion to the Muslim Brotherhood here.
Eventually.
But no price, my friends, is too high.
No price is too high if it'll allow Obama to take credit for the Arab Spring as he seeks to define it today.
That is, if it turns out okay.
If the Arab Spring doesn't turn out okay, he'll just blame everybody else.
It's not like it's his money after all.
It's China's when you get down to brass tax.
And just remember, Just remember to, you know, Obama's speech today, bear in mind the next time you hear him talk about the need to rein in spending to cut the deficit, you can laugh at his face.
When you hear about all the money and all the aid he wants to give to Middle Eastern countries, you keep that in mind the next time you hear him talk about the need to rein in spending and get our deficit under control.
I got to take a quick time out here, my friends.
We'll be back after a little break here.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program, sit tight.
Circumcision finally on the ballot in San Francisco.
They found 12,000 signatures.
This has been, you talk about cutting age.
I warned you people about this in the 80s.
The National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers.
I first heard about this bunch when I was in Sacramento in 1984.
They've been trying to stamp out circumcision since 1984, and they finally have got it on the ballot out there.
Just mind-boggling.
There's all kinds of great stuff, as I say, coming up on the, we found some incredible Mitch Daniels soundbites from 2009, speaking to the Ripon Society, in which he basically says he doesn't use these words, but he chides Republicans.
We've got to stop disagreeing with the Democrats.
You're not going to persuade anybody until they first like you.
Oh, yeah.
Wait till you hear it.
We've got that.
We've got Cornell West.
Cornell West.
Cornell West, who spent many years at Harvard, Cambridge, Princeton, well-known black ghettos, claiming that Obama has been de-rasinized or deracinated.
He's not black enough now.
We're back to this again.
You're really uncomfortable hanging around independent black guys.
His whole experience is white.
He's actually a white guy with black skin.
He's confused.
And he's a sellout.
Cornell West, fit to be tied.
Al Sharpton now mad at Cornell West.
But deracinated is the term.
This is in the Boston Globe.
So yeah.
Oh, folks, we are loaded today.
And we'll resume right after all of this.
Don't go away.
You know, folks, I don't know how to interpret this.
I listened a little bit of this speech and it's dead.
It is dull in there.
He even managed to work Rosa Parks into this speech.
I don't know the context.
I don't know how many he mentioned Rosa Parks.
You know, I think it's wonderful.
Bin Laden has come back from hell.
New tape out there.
Give us a preview of this speech.
But what I just saw, I really need some help in analyzing this.
Because Obama made this great statement that to me, it sounded like it was an applause line.
And he waited and waited and waited for the applause, but there wasn't any.
You can hear a pin drop in there.
Obama just said the protesters have accomplished more in six months in the Middle East than terrorists have accomplished in years.
Now, he waited and waited.
There was supposed to be applause.
You can't tell me that wasn't an applause line.
And there was no applause.
But here's the question.
Does that mean, does he mean that terrorists and protesters have the same goals?
What the heck kind of a thing to say is that?
The protesters have accomplished more in six months than the terrorists have accomplished in years?
As though they've got the same objectives?
Now, here's what I assume.
And again, this speech is happening.
I can't hear it while I'm hosting the program, but I am assuming, ladies and gentlemen, that President Obama will propose for the Arabs.
And by the way, he is convinced that this is a flowering of democracy.
He's positioning himself here.
This is the greatest thing ever happened to the Middle East.
And it coincides with his presidency.
We got democracy.
We got people.
He had some sickening line.
Somebody, I was like breathing fresh air for the first time in my life in Egypt.
Like breathing fresh air.
The dignity of the call of freedom.
Some other guy in Damascus.
I mean, it's just, it's just insulin shock-inducing.
But I assume, ladies and gentlemen, that Obama will propose for the Arabs and the Muslims what he has done here in the U.S. Why not?
I assume that he will tell them that they must spread the wealth.
He will tell them they must implement national health care now.
He'll tell them they must institute cap and trade.
He'll tell them to nationalize their banks.
He'll tell them to print money and devalue their currency.
He'll tell them to eat organic food and less fatty foods.
And he'll say, mobilize your wives to get into the schools to get the kids eating the right things.
All 50,000 of your wives, get them out there.
That's what I do.
This is how you promote liberty and the rule of law and prosperity after all.
That's what he says he's doing here.
So will he suggest an identical agenda for the people of the Middle East?
I mean, all of his plans are working here, are they not?
I mean, come on, folks, if it's good enough for America, surely Obamaism is good enough for the Middle East.
Is it not?
I would expect the president to tell these Middle Eastern countries to unionize all their activities, massively grow their governments, destroy all of their private sectors with regulations and disincentives.
This is the road to prosperity this century as defined by this president.
He'll tell them to drive up the costs of electricity and gasoline.
He'll tell them to drive up the cost of food.
He's got all the answers.
The Obama agenda, the agenda for the future.
Will he tell them to emulate Obama policies here while giving them the money to do it?
I'm surprised I thought he fixed everything with the first Cairo speech.
I guess he's taking a mulligan.
Hey, Bush, Bush and I killed Saddam and Osama.
Hey, you can do it the way we did.
Bush and I did this.
I've extended the Bush tax cuts.
I've kept Guantanamo open.
Join me in taking advantage of the information from enhanced interrogations.
Look at all of the wonderful agenda items responsible for a growing, a rebounding United States.
If it's good enough for us, why not share it as part of the Arab Spring?
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Yeah, I'm watching this, folks.
It's my job.
I'm watching this.
I'm listening to it during the commercial breaks.
And I have to tell you, whenever Obama uses a teleprompter, I get the feeling I'm watching somebody watch a tennis match.
Head goes back and forth, and then he's following the ball.
And he just jumped all over Bashur Assad.
Remember, he told Gaddafi, you got to go.
He more or less has called for Syria's president Bashur Assad to either accept democracy or to step down.
Now, how many Middle East rulers has Obama now told us to step down?
Mubarak, Gaddafi, and now Bashar Assad.
Now, is this the same Barack Obama who used to lecture us on how we shouldn't meddle in the internal affairs of other nations?
Again, the segment I just was privileged to hear.
The president trying to convince his audience how vital the Middle East is to our country's interests.
But isn't this the same guy?
Same guy who was against the invasion of Iraq, called it a distraction from our real problems.
Isn't he the guy who mocked Bush's idea of trying to promote democracy over there?
The Democrat Party laughed at the whole democratization of Iraq idea that Bush put forward.
Now, this whole speech is that the Arid Spring is a giant flowering of democracy.
And guess what?
I did it.
Hey, it's my fault.
I made it happen.
Because I'm Barack Obama.
So we will continue to monitor this.
I want to go back to our groove yard of forgotten favorites.
You've got to hear these soundbites.
This will put this in perspective.
Here you've got Obama, and I still haven't heard any applause.
Now, maybe there is not going to be.
Maybe this is a church service, for all I know.
It looks like one.
Folks, to me, when I listen to it during commercial breaks, it sounds dead in that room.
It doesn't seem any vigor, any excitement.
But again, I'm not able to listen to the whole thing.
But here's Obama trying to get out in front of all this, telling us that we've got this wonderful outbreak of democracy and freedom and fresh air and blue skies.
The birds are chirping at a whole ball of wax.
Trying to make it look like he's responsible for it.
His influence made it happen.
Let's go back February 11th.
It doesn't seem like that long ago.
February 11th.
Today is May the 19th or March?
Three months?
Can that be February to March?
Yeah, three months ago this was.
Pharaoh Obama, big speech on Egypt.
CNN went over there to Tahriri Square, which is a circle, to get the reaction to all the wonderful things Pharaoh Obama was doing.
And they sent Nick Robertson out there, senior international correspondent Nick Robertson, and he's talking to a man identified as Ahmed.
Ahmed, you've been here down on the square for many days.
The United States and international community just listened to President Obama say that America will support Egypt if it wants help and assistance and hopes that there'll be a good transition for jobs for the young people.
What would your message be for President Obama?
We don't know actually who he supports.
He searched for his own burden and the Egyptian people seeks for our freedom and democracy.
Any democratic country should seek for the people, not for his own personal.
We don't know who he supports.
He serves for his own purposes.
The Egyptian people search for freedom and democracy.
I'm sorry to tell you Egyptian people you haven't found that you got the Muslim Brotherhood there.
You know, enjoy this while it lasts.
But there's Nick Robertson trying to make these people say Obama.
Oh, yes, Obama is possible.
Obama made it all happen.
So Ahmed fails.
Ahmed does not give Nick Robertson what he wants.
So Nick Robertson moves down the road and he finds Mustafa.
Mustafa's joining me now.
We just had President Obama saying that he wants to extend support and assistance to Egypt and Egyptians if they want any hopes that there are more jobs for the young people in the future.
What's your message for President Obama?
Well, my message for Brilliant Obama is just we started this revolution without any outside help, and we are going to finish it also without any outside help.
All for two, Nick Robertson, all for two, trying to get the Egyptian people to praise President Obama.
Now, remember, as far as they're concerned, they are here demanding their freedom.
They want Mubarak gone.
They're living in economic squalor.
And here comes a CNN reporter asking them what they think of President Obama.
And they couldn't care less.
So old Nick is all for two.
But he nevertheless has to sum up.
Oh, wait.
No, no.
Sorry, folks.
One more try with Mustafa.
That's right.
And this is it.
Are you pleased that President Obama has come out, however, now and said he supports this change and supports the people, supports the young people and what they've done?
Well, actually, Brilliant One's views were kind of conflicting during the last weeks.
But now he's saying that he's supporting the change.
Right.
So after saying, well, my message for President Obama is that we started this revolution without him.
We'll finish it without him.
Nick says, well, okay, okay, okay.
But are you still pleased with President Obama?
He came out there to support you.
Well, actually, his views were kind of conflicting during the week.
So now it's time for Nick Robertson to sum up and tell his audience at CNN that they did not hear what they just heard.
The view from here is one of very happy now to hear that President Obama has swung behind the people.
The view from here is one of very happy people to hear President Obama swung behind the people.
CNN.
By the way, I'm just told that there was some applause just now.
So basically, 30 minutes into this, there was some applause.
It was very short, but nevertheless, reporting this, going to be honest, there was some applause.
Now, moving on, ladies and gentlemen, we'll continue to update this as it warrants.
We're rolling tape on this.
From what I've heard, I value you.
Playing soundbites of this would cause you to change channels.
I mean, it's that dull.
Are you listening to any of it in there, Sterling?
It's well, we'll just have to wait and see.
Boston Globe had a story on the 17th, a couple days ago.
Here's the story: Cornell West, a Princeton University professor, a leading black intellectual, is harshly criticizing President Obama, a candidate he once supported, but he now calls a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats.
Cornell West, a former Harvard University professor, said during an interview with the website TruthDig, posted yesterday that the president has not been true to his race.
He said, I think my dear brother, Barack Obama, has a certain fear of free black men.
It's understandable.
As a young brother who grows up in a white context, brilliant African father, he's always had to fear being a white man with black skin.
All he's known culturally is white.
When he meets an independent black brother, it's frightening.
White House did not have an immediate comment.
West was not finished.
He said, Obama coming out of Kansas influence, white, loving grandparents coming out of Hawaii and Indonesia, where he meets these independent black folk who have a history of slavery, Jim Crow, Jane Crow, so on.
He's very apprehensive.
He has a certain rootlessness, a derasination.
It's understandable.
Obama been derasinated.
He's not down for the struggle.
Now, Cornell West is a professor at Princeton Center for African American Studies and is the author of Race Matters.
He was a professor at Harvard, left in 2002 amid quarrels with then President Lawrence Summers.
West also recounts personal slights.
Get this.
This is one of the reasons Cornell West is upset.
Obama doesn't return his phone calls, and he couldn't get enough tickets to Obama's inauguration.
He couldn't get a ticket with his mother and his brother.
I guess he got one ticket, but they wouldn't give him two more tickets to the inauguration.
So because of that, Obama has been derasinated.
It's not the first time that Cornell West has raised questions about Obama.
Last year, during an interview with NPR, he said he wished the president were more Martin Luther King-like.
So basically what Cornell West is saying here, it's, you know, Dinesh D'Souza, we interviewed him for the Limball letter.
Dinesh D'Souza explains Obama by saying he dislikes America because of the anti-imperialist views of his father, Barack Obama Sr.
Cornell West is saying that Obama is an Uncle Tom because of his white upbringing and family.
Derasinated.
So it's, I mean, this is, this is, and then Peter Fonda.
Peter Fonda is over at Conn at the film festival over there, and he's called, he's called Obama traitor.
He sent him a note dropping the F-bomb in the note in front of the word traitor.
Peter Fonda launched a four-letter attack on U.S. President Obama at the Cann Film Festival on Wednesday, calling him a traitor over the handling of the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill.
Fonda, a keen environmentalist wacko and co-producer of the film, which centers on the explosion of the BP oil-rigged Deepwater Horizon, accused Washington of trying to gag reporting on the issue.
I sent an email to Obama saying, you are an F-bomb traitor.
And I used those words.
You're a traitor.
You allowed foreign boots on our soil telling our military, in this case, the Coast Guard, what they can and could not do, telling us, the citizens of the U.S., what we could or could not do.
So they're not happy out there.
There's another story here that American Jews are telling Obama, you better back off on Israel, bud, on these settlements and stuff, or we may not be as forthcoming with campaign donations.
Now, we hear this every four years.
We hear it every four years.
Now, let me put this in perspective.
His Cornell West, I mean, here's a guy who, yeah, he hangs around the ghettos of Harvard and Princeton, right?
He's hanging around with all the people down for the struggle.
He's in the hood, the Harvard Hood, the Cambridge Hood, the Princeton Hood.
And here he is telling Obama he's not black enough.
They've been derasinated.
And the media can't wait to report this stuff.
Now, nobody cares what Peter Fonda says, but there they are reporting it.
And they do this to create an impression.
It's not that Cornell West and Peter Fond are involved in any kind of conspiracy here.
Fond is too stupid to be involved in anything that involves long-range planning.
And Cornell West is just, he's just a radical here.
There are thousands of kooks out there who can be quoted saying that Obama is disappointing them.
But what, you know, all of this is designed to make Obama look like he's not what he is.
He's a centrist.
Exactly right, Sterling.
This is, you know, the media, the left, loves it when Cornell West loses control.
They love it when, because when Cornell West starts acting like Cornell West, this is far-left fringe, you know, racial activist ripping Obama.
That's music to the ears of the Obama re-elect team.
Oh, yeah.
Give me more of it.
Yeah, sister soldier.
Give me more of this.
Give me more wacko leftists ripping into the brother.
Oh, yeah, they love it.
Not that Cornell's in on it.
Nobody could convince Cornell to join a conspiracy.
He is one in and of himself, and he's not going to join another one.
People are going to join him if that's going to be happening.
Boy, here it comes.
Are we?
I don't want to go.
I don't want to jip.
I don't want to gyp.
Here he comes.
He just kept there saying, our friendship with Israel is unshakable.
And because of our friendship, we must be honest.
And here's what's happening, folks.
And Jake Tapper just posted as his Twitter account.
He's either saying it right now or he's going to say it pretty soon.
He's going to declare that Israel should pull back to its 1967 borders.
And he's going to suggest that we are totally able to make that suggestion to them because we are such good friends.
And our defense of Israel, our support is unshakable.
And any attempt to isolate Israel will fail, either at the United Nations or elsewhere.
But precisely because we're good friends, we can be honest.
So Israel must pull back to its 1967 borders.
He's actually suggested this before, but before it was always supposed to be a quid pro quo trade-off, if the Arab world would recognize Israel, Israel would pull back to its pre-1967 borders.
But now it's going to be unilaterally.
The Arabs won't have to do anything.
They'll have to make no offer.
They won't have to agree to anything.
That is going to pull back.
That's what he's going to demand here, that Israel give up everything it won.
Israel will give up everything it won after it was attacked.
He just said it.
He just said it.
A future Palestinian state should be based on 67 borders of land swaps set with Israel.
That means the 73 Yom Kippur War, everything that won, got to go back.
So once again, bottom line, Israel has to give up land.
Israel has to give up.
And in both cases, or in all cases where Israel has gained land, it has been after they were attacked.
They were in the process of defending themselves.
They have won each and every time that that's happened.
Future Palestinian state will be based on 67 borders of land swaps with Israel.
Let me grab a quick phone call here before we have to go to break top of the hour.
Don in Topeka, Kansas.
If you're still there, sir, I'm glad you called and welcome to the program.
Yeah, Rush, it's really great to get to talk to you.
I think the world of you.
You're the absolute best of listing the chronological things that Obama has done to disgrace this country and disgrace the White House and disgrace our government.
Thank you.
But you, my friend, are relying, I think, too heavily on sarcasm.
Really?
People like me pick up very quickly when you'll say he's done something great, and we know you're saying it tongue-in-cheek, sarcastic, and we immediately get it.
But these whacked-out leftist Democrats are hearing that and you are feeding on it.
We are literally taking what you say and writing it down.
