Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Well, that's going to be interesting to see.
As I'm having a lot of people tell me that after they found the debate last night, it was on Bloomberg as Channel 353 on Direct TV.
And it kind of ticked me off it wasn't an HD.
I almost didn't watch it.
Because it wasn't an HD.
I don't know.
Not this standard definition stuff for me anymore.
Biggest obstacle was watching it in standard definition.
Felt like I had rabbit ears back in those days.
Anyway, a lot of people think it was the best Republican debate so far.
Format, round table, uh uh candidates questioning each other.
I thought there was something really missing last night.
Something of glaring proportion that did not happen last night.
And for the life of me, I do not understand why it did not happen.
Could somebody explain to me, by the way, hi folks, how are you?
Rush Limbaugh, the uh EIB network sitting here at the Limbaugh Institute, of course, for as long as I'm here, it doesn't matter where here is.
Telephone number you want to be on the program 800-282-2882.
Yesterday, maybe it was the day before when it actually happened, but we got the news yesterday that a White House had leaked to Michael Isakoff, that Romney's health care advisors had been uh brought to the White House.
They eagerly went to the White House, they participated in meetings with Obama people to help them strategize the implementation of Obamacare.
And in one of those meetings, Obama was present himself.
Romney's health care advisors telling Obama's people how to do it.
Romney didn't get hit on that at all last night.
I I was waiting for that all night long, and I didn't see that happen.
And if I didn't see it happen, it didn't happen.
It did not happen.
I um I'm I have uh maybe a little bit different take.
Um here Romney probably chalks up as the winner because he didn't lose it.
Uh but I uh I I you know I'll go through the the the jot note summary that uh that I made in just a second as I was um as I was watching the debate.
We'll get to that in just a second, but uh first off, here it is.
God bless them, the Associated Press, Senate Republicans vote to kill Obama's jobs bill.
Right there it is.
I think these people in AP are in business to make me look like Nostradamus.
Senate Republicans have voted to kill the 447 billion dollar White House jobs bill despite weeks of barnstorming by President Obama across the country.
What a headline, just as we predicted.
It didn't take a Nostradamus to see it coming.
This headline is the whole purpose of Obama's jobs bill.
It was never intended to pass.
This was the objective.
Now they didn't get this headline everywhere.
They didn't get this headline at uh the New York Times.
New York Times headline, President's jobs measure turned back in key Senate test.
USA Today didn't give them the headline they wanted, but the AP did.
It'll be in 4,000 newspapers.
Which is the whole purpose, but the Senate is controlled by Democrats.
There are 62 of them in there, right?
Are there 62?
Counting the independence.
Yeah, okay.
Is it 52 to 48 to 48?
And then he had two Democrats defect.
Yeah, what am I talking about?
Not 62, 52.
So Ben Nelson and somebody else defected.
Here, grab somebody number one, this Dingy Harry.
This is this morning on the Senate floor explaining all of this.
Last night, Republicans blocked the American Job Act.
President Obama's plan to create two million jobs by giving tax cuts to businesses and middle class families and investing in modern roads, bridges, and schools.
It's not the first jobs bill.
They've blocked this Congress.
Although I hope it'll be the last.
But it seems if the Republicans don't really want to put Americans back to work.
They believe a weak economy means a weak president.
So even though they've supported the government.
You see, uh 51 Democrats and Lieberman and Sanders, so that that's at any rate, uh Republicans don't want to put anybody back to work.
No, you just what the Republicans were lying through their teeth last night about uh about jobs and putting people back to work in the debate.
I mean, this this is the bankruptcy, the moral bankruptcy of the Democrat Party today.
To have to claim that the Republicans don't want to put anybody back to work, that the Republicans do not want jobs created, and the Republicans couldn't stop this.
If Dingy Harry could keep his caucus unified, the Republicans couldn't stop this.
This was Democrats didn't want this bill.
Senate Democrats didn't think the president's spending bill was good for their party.
Senate Democrats didn't think the president's jobs bill was good for the country.
The president couldn't persuade his own party that controls the Senate.
This bill they've been waving around out there, touting for weeks, failed in a Democrat-controlled Senate, and yet Senate Republicans vote to kill Obama.
You people EAP, you ought to be ashamed.
How do you get up and go to work every day under the pretense that you are doing journalism?
Now I know the president wants to run against Congress.
But why not present a bill that would pass the Senate?
But we no no no present a bill that would pass the Senate but get shot down by a Republican-controlled House.
These guys are the Keystone cops.
I mean, if you really, really, really want this blamed on the Republicans, get something the Senate would pass.
We got a bunch of lame-brained Republicans in there that would go along with something weak need.
But he didn't even do that.
That would what?
It would require work.
It would re well, what's he been doing?
He'd been running around.
See, this proves they never intended for this thing to pass.
How many jobs bills from the House has Harry Reid defeated or just ignored?
What the headline ought to be is Obama tax bill defeated in bipartisan vote, because it truly was a bipartisan vote that shot this thing down.
It was a humiliation.
Obama's campaign is entirely negative.
Have you seen the pictures on the front page of Drudge?
Obama in Pittsburgh, and he put them up there in black and white to make Obama look old and ancient.
That's good.
On the left hand, a crowded Pittsburgh arena jam-packed.
On the right, Obama meeting with empty chairs in a union hall.
I mean, it folks, here's what's so frustrating to me about this debate last night.
And and not well, not so much the debate.
What's upsetting to me is the fate of compli that's attaching itself to Romney.
It's way too soon for that to happen.
It's way too soon for everybody to start thinking this is over.
I gotta I saw some polling data.
70% of Republicans are not supportive of Romney right now.
Um I I think the the people, the the Republican base, the conservative base that's the majority in this country is so far ahead of the leaders of the uh Republican establishment uh and and and uh and the inside the beltway media people.
Uh that that debate last night, you might have thought it was the best.
I'm uh if we took if we were able to take a poll here, I'm gonna tell you that the base, the Republican base is not happy with that debate last night at all uh because uh it it didn't change anything.
He didn't change anything.
The Republican base doesn't want Romney.
Republican base doesn't want Romney.
Pure and simple.
And this is uh I I don't know how many people in the Republican establishment are actually uh uh aware of that, or to even care.
What?
What was uh uh No, no, you gotta stop looking at stuff this way.
You have to stop or then but no, I can't afford to look at it that way.
I do not watch these debates to hear my words echoed.
Snerdley is telling me that we know who listens to my show based on what was said in the debate last night, but all these people jumping on Chris Dodd and Barney Frey.
It was gratifying.
I must say it was Michelle Bachman that got this whole thing.
Michelle Bachman that got the whole thing when this whole you know, Charlie Rose, he clearly, you know, he handles the rounds.
Charlie Rose likes tables.
Charlie Rose likes chairs.
Charlie Rose likes chairs that can be converted to tables.
Strong chair.
Charlie Rose likes that.
It's clearly he's he's mastered a round table format.
He's been doing it a long time.
But he was, and and what's her face, uh, Karen Tumbly.
It was it was clear with some of the answers.
They had no idea what was being said.
They were they had when the whole subject of the housing crisis came up, and Michelle Bachman identified, and then Newt backed her up.
Look, we got the Community Redevelopment Act, we've got Clinton, we have got Obama, we've got the Democrat Party and the federal government demanding that these banks make loans to people who couldn't pay them.
You could just see on the faces of Charlie Rose and Karen Tumblry, they had no idea what she was talking about.
They were just clueless.
The uh the questions that we got from those members of the media were pure formulaic.
There was nothing creative or ingenious about them, nothing new.
They were just every question came from the Democrat media template or narrative.
And that's another thing I didn't like about it.
I can't do anything about it if we're going to agree to go on on places like CNN and Bloomberg to do debates, and we're gonna have to deal with the people that show up asking the questions.
They are mind-numbed robots of the left.
And it was clear in a number of answers, not just the housing scandal, but in a number of answers, uh, these people were clueless as to what was being said.
They looked like they were talking to Martians.
I don't, I judging from the look on his face, you know, I know Charlie Rose.
I've been on his show a number of times, not in the last 19 years, but I like Charlie, and but I it was it was obvious that he he had no idea.
He had no idea what was being said.
The subprime mortgage crisis, as far as these people are concerned, directly and solely at the fault of the big banks.
We got the obligatory question, are you shocked that not one of those people has been put in jail?
That's that's right off of some kook fringe blog on the left.
That's what they think is mainstream.
But anyway, it uh it is what it was.
Now you have to say that the you know, Romney did not fail.
So as a result, you'd have to say, as the front runner, he maintained that position.
I thought Rick Perry, where's the energy?
I I really let me take a breath.
I want to share with you the notes that I jotted as this thing uh happened.
That's that's the best way just to share with you my stream of consciousness here, such as Charlie Rose likes tables, chairs.
Chairs that can be converted to tables.
We'll do all that when we get back.
Have you seen you seen any pictures of the uh Occupy Wall Street protesters up on the Upper East side?
Was it the upper west side or upper east side of Manhattan?
The upper east side, uh, where they're supposedly marching in front of uh uh financial executives' homes.
And you will not see any pictures of the crowd.
Because the crowd was smaller than the number of media covering them.
I was really disappointed.
I was saddened by the turnout for the Millionaire's March of the Upper East Side.
There weren't even hundreds of them up there.
I mean, even if you use millionaire math man uh man math, there wasn't enough of them up there to outnumber the media.
In fact, I've got a I saw one picture taken from the street, shooting up the side of a tall building, and there's one sign, one protest sign in the picture.
And they marched right past George Soros' building, and they didn't stop at George Soros' building.
They went to some hedge fund guy named Paulson, They went to his building and this guy came out and said something.
He had a reaction to them.
Which I'll share with you as the program unfolds.
It was basically about how the top 1% are paying 40% of all the taxes.
It is clear the more these people are interviewed.
I've got an uh uh audio soundbite coming.
Uh there's there's a guy that we, I think what's on the audio soundbite we have coming, uh, who wants a college education, wants something, and doesn't have it and is depressed, and thinks that means the American dream is dead.
Because he wants it and doesn't have it, that means the American dream is over.
And these people down there that make up the uh the protest, they are the product of something.
They are the sum total of what they've been told, what they've been educated, how they've been informed.
It really who these people are, and as ignorant as they are, and as few in number as they are, by the way.
It really is a small bunch of people.
And the uh media doing everything it can to build them up and make them look huge, is so jealous of the Tea Party, they want this thing to be bigger than the Tea Party.
And it isn't, and it can't be.
Uh it is dire for the left right now, the circumstances that they face.
Uh they are truly dire, which is another thing that uh stokes me for the opportunity that we have for such a striking contrast, what we have to offer this country, which is so much in common with a majority of people in this country.
The left is really flailing away.
They've got nothing.
Obama can't even pack a 200 person hall in Pittsburgh.
Obama is yesterday's news.
It can't run on his record.
He uh all he can do is, and which he's going to do, is run on the total destruction of his opponents.
Opposition research and uh and all of that.
Rick Perry managed to make himself disappear last night like he was an A-list magician in Las Vegas in the debate.
I don't know if he is finished after last night, but uh I like his basic message.
I like Perry's basic merit message, but I don't know that he knows yet how to run for president, run for the office of president.
Better in some ways than than uh previous debates, but I was just too passive last night.
And I I know maybe the thinking is let's be calm and cool, collected and exude uh an aura of confidence, an aura of I belong here.
But there needs to be some energy.
Perry needed to dominate last night.
Somebody needed to hit Mitt Romney on the fact that his advisors show up at the White House on three different occasions to advise Obama's people on implementing Obamacare.
I thought it'd be a natural for Perry to do that, or for Newt or any of them.
Herman Cain, it did not happen.
He needed to dominate and he didn't dominate last night.
And I don't know what it is.
The story is that he's just never done well in debates, that the that the format is not something that is conducive to him, and I understand that some people do better in in in various public settings than uh than others do.
Now, Romney, if you if you if it's possible to forget Romney care for a minute, you know, Romney's been doing this enough that he performs well in these debates every time out.
And I guess that's one of the reasons why he solidified his frontrunner status.
He gets more FaceTime than Newt, Herman Cain, but when he does get his chances, he handles them very well, with the exception of Romney care.
He just can't, he can't talk himself out of that.
He it trips him up every time it comes up because he's trying to avoid telling the truth about it, and it's always going to get you in trouble.
And it and it always does him.
Now, Romney care, if if if he's the nominee, Romney care is not going to get a pass.
It is going to be the bludgeon.
It's going to be the bludgeon that the Democrats use.
And you can't, he you can't, you know, Romney can say he's going to repeal Obamacare all he wants, but then they come back and say, Yeah, well, you helped us implement it.
So what is it?
It's identical.
We took your plan in Massachusetts and we built on it for Obamacare.
Now you want to repeal ours, but you don't want to repeal yours when they're identical.
So that's a that's a big problem for the general election down the road.
But Romney did not hurt himself.
And I, again, this is the last time I'll mention it, but I can't believe not one person on that panel brought up Romney's people meeting with Obama's people to help them implement Obamacare.
I'm just still shocked about that.
One of the uh one of the criticisms of Rick Perry is that he talks about Texas too much.
What he did in Texas.
Okay, fine, let's move on.
One of the things that Perry does in the debates is said, look, yeah, I uh we we like he did last night, we invested, state invested in uh in some energy programs, and we created what was it, 50 some odd thousand jobs with it?
People were complaining.
What they this is another typical mind-numbed, brainless attempt at an attack by these debate moderators.
Okay, so they know that everybody's hitting Obama on Cylindra.
Now, what's Cylindra?
Cylindra is is is a non-business.
Solar energy panels.
There is no industry there.
There's no business there.
Obama continues to fund it.
Yet another solar company, this one run by the son of California Congressman George Miller.
And guess what?
They're gonna build their solar panels in Mexico.
And I thought the purpose of the government picking winners and losers and funding subsidizing businesses was to create American jobs.
Isn't that what Obama's talking about?
Green jobs, creating all these brand new jobs, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, we're gonna pay over a billion dollars to a solar energy company that's gonna be operating out of Mexico.
And it's crony because it's the son of George Miller, the far-leftest member of Congress from Northern California.
So here comes, who was it?
Karen Tumulty.
Here comes Karen Tumulty and Rick Perry.
So you think she's got a gotcha question.
Well, for all your talk about what Obama's doing, didn't you do the same thing?
Then you have some supporters of yours, or are you funding some energy projects in Technology?
If so, what is the difference?
And Perry didn't nail it.
The difference is, yeah, I was investing in standard energy business that work.
We were investing in oil.
We were investing in natural gas.
We were stimulating the production of domestic energy in Texas that satisfies the wants and needs and desires of the American people.
We weren't investing in something that doesn't exist, solar industry.
It's the inability to make that point.
I I understand Deer and a headlight, and I know, folks, one of the things I hated about being on television, and I must be honest with you here in the process of being fair.
One of the things I hated about being on TV that never happens to me on radio.
At the end of every 22-minute TV show, even the ones I thought I had nailed, even the ones I thought that were just as good as they could be, I got nothing but complaints of what I should have said.
Remember those days, Sterley?
I'm talking about from the audience.
From the audience, what you should have said, and I thought I nailed it.
Now, nobody after a radio show has ever told me.
You know, what you should have said was, I mean, never, but I mean it's times that it happens are so infrequent.
It happened every day on television.
So I understand.
I understand how easy it is to watch somebody on television and think that they blew it.
Because everybody thought that about me every night when I had my TV show.
And it's one of the many reasons I hate television.
Even now, if I do a guest appearance on TV, the next day I hear about what I should have said.
That was good, Rush, but you know, you really forgot that X. All right, so I'm sitting there watching, and Karen Tumulty thinks that she's got this gotcha.
And all Perry has to say is I don't make any apologies for what I did.
We were growing the oil and natural gas industry, and we were creating 56,000 permanent jobs in the process, as opposed to Obama investing in a business that doesn't exist, where the money is coming back to him in the form of campaign contributions of a slush fund.
Where's the answer?
Instead, he got all defensive and and uh and said, well, it's a state's rights issue.
And this is what he does.
It's well, it's different.
States should have the right to do this kind of thing.
Now, the reason I bring this up is because that's what pay I know that's what Romney's gonna do.
He's done it, in fact, but I know it's what he's gonna do when he gets hit on Romney care.
He's gonna say it's okay to do things like Romney care at state level.
To which, I hate to say this, to which the reply is fine.
But it didn't stay at the state level because you sent your advisors to the White House to tell Obama how to do the same thing nationally.
This is a real vulnerability that need not exist in running against Obama.
We this is this is there's a poll out today that Kane Romney, uh Perry, and who else?
Hang on, just a who's one more in there.
Kane Romney, yeah, Kane Romney and Perry all beat Obama right now.
In a poll, which is meaningless, unless the election's tomorrow.
But it still is an indication.
We'll take everything we can get.
But this this Romney care is is gonna be it's gonna be an albatross, and they're gonna be able to bludgeon, and I know what he's gonna do.
So it's okay to, you know, experiment, laboratory type thing, the states, that's what they're for.
Um, but still there we we we don't have to have a campaign with that kind of an albatross around our neck, but we're gonna have it if Romney is the uh is the nominee.
Now here's here's what here's what Perry said.
Well, I don't think the federal government should be involved in that type of investment.
I mean doing subsidizing energy programs, period.
If states want to choose to do that, I think that's fine for states to do that.
Now the question that Perry was asked was about signing off on an emerging technology fund.
It was a 14 billion dollar emergency technology fund approved by the Texas legislature, which is another thing that hasn't happened, and he pointed that out.
He did say that Texas legislature had to approve everything I was doing.
The U.S. Congress has not approved a thing uh with Obama and Cylindra.
This is one of the many things that's that's uh that are off the books.
But still, the glaring difference is is that is that Perry was not investing in a non-existent business.
Nambi Pansy Wimpish green energy.
You know, green energy is the province of sissies.
It doesn't exist.
In fact, it doesn't exist so much it destroys economies.
Look at Spain.
But I'm just saying that it's a long story, a long way of getting to the point that Romney's gonna try to explain Romney care away to say, well, state's rights issue, I can do what I want here.
And the fact that he sent his advisors to the oval orifice to help Obama put his health care plan kind of negates this effort to keep it a state issue.
Frank, it's why it is why the the news about Romney's staff helping Obama with Obamacare so shocking.
Okay, now I mentioned mere moments ago, a Wall Street protester being interviewed, and he was upset.
It was uh he wanted a college education, he wanted his tuition.
If he didn't have his tuition, then America sucked.
If Son of he wasn't paying his tuition, then there's no American dream.
Charles W. Cook from National Review went down there with a microphone.
He wanted to talk to people on the protest march and find out just who they are.
What do they think?
What's got them all agitated?
And We have two sound bites.
First, uh first question.
Mr. Cook talking to the unidentified protester, says, Your sign.
Tell me about your sign.
Why?
Uh why?
Because I think these billionaires are getting a lot of money just out of greed.
Um, you know, they're exploiting people, the underclass, like lower class people, middle class people.
How do they do that?
How do they do that?
Just through well, I guess it has to do with the government as well.
Uh, for example, we get tax more than they do.
That's not true.
That's not true.
It's not true.
No, it's not true.
That's not true.
He didn't it wasn't.
Uh, and then the reporter says, why should anybody pay for your college tuition?
Why should why should anybody but you pay for your college tuition?
It's just it's just my opinion.
No, no, but I mean give me the reason for it.
Why should I not quite like a new car?
Should that be paid for?
Yeah.
Uh no, I mean, it's it's whatever.
People can say whatever they want.
Of course you can say what you want, but I'm asking why that in particular.
Just because that's what I want.
But I mean, you can't just have everything you want paid for, surely.
No, but I can put it out there.
I can make the same.
So that's what I think.
Okay.
That's fine.
But I mean, like, from my perspective, what you've done is you've basically written stuff you want on a sign like a Christmas list, and then you're holding it in the air.
Yeah, why not?
Yeah, why not?
Why not?
I want it.
Why not?
Yeah, well, you just can't have anything you want to pay for, surely.
No, but I can put it out there.
I can say what I want.
Yeah.
That's what I think.
Well, but from my perspective, what you've done is you've basically written stuff you want on a sign like Christmas list, then you're holding it in the air.
Yeah, why not?
But the point is, this worthless little kid is running down there trying to get involved in a protest.
He has no clue.
He proudly tells the world he has no clue about anything.
Just that it isn't right out there.
Uh Wall Street and the government, the billionaires exploiting everybody, taking money away, but he can't explain how.
Got to involve a government somehow.
He wants his tuition paid for, but somehow draws the line.
No, I don't think somebody else should buy my car.
Well, why?
What's the difference?
Well, uh, this is my list, it's what I want.
But the point is, he's down there protesting.
Somebody's not paying his tuition.
And therefore, America is not America anymore.
Well, we could laugh about it.
And we do.
But I take it further.
Who?
Who did this guy hang around growing up?
Where does he get this idea?
Where does he get the notion?
I mean, I know the answer to this.
It's a rhetorical question.
Where does he get the idea?
Somebody else ought to pay for what he wants.
Democrat Party.
American liberalism.
Pure and simple.
And who's out there exploiting this kind of abject ignorance?
Barack Obama and the whole Democrat Party.
Gotta take a break.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Okay, a couple of sound bites from the uh from the debate.
This is this what Snurgley loved.
This was Michelle Bachman laying the blame.
Economic problems, housing crisis at the feet of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
Karen Tummulty, Washington Post co-moderator, said, Congresswoman Bachman.
Three years after the financial meltdown, Main Street continues to suffer.
People have lost their jobs, they've lost their homes, they've lost their faith in the future, but Wall Street's thriving.
The banks not only get bailed out by the government, they made huge profits.
They paid themselves huge bonuses.
Do you think it's right that no Wall Street executives have gone to jail for the damn?
What see this kind of I I heard that question, almost turned it off.
So what's the point of watching this?
It's just another programmed left-wing media template full of questions that are not going to advance the ball whatsoever.
What Wall Street?
Who's out there saying Wall Street execs need to go to jail except the far left fringe blogs.
So they get to determine the questions that are asked.
Anyway, here's how Bachman answered this infantile question.
It was Congressman Barney Frank and also Senator Chris Dodd that continued to push government directed housing goals.
They pushed the banks to meet these rules.
And it began with Freddie and Fanny.
If you look at these secondary mortgage companies, which the federal government is essentially backing 100%, they put American mortgages in a very difficult place.
We had artificially low interest rates.
Freddie and Fanny were the center of the universe on the mortgage meltdown, and we had lending standards lowered for the first time in American history.
The fault goes back to the federal government, and that's what's wrong with Dodd Frank.
Dodd Frank institutionalize all of these problems.
Brevity's a soul of wit.
Bang bang, get in, get it, and get out.
And she did.
And the look on Karen Tumbly's face was one of total vacancy.
Dear in the headlights, she had no idea what Michelle Bachman was talking about.
I don't remember if there was a follow-up.
I think there probably was to try to keep it on the subject that Tumulty wanted it on.
Well, well, what about the Wall Street magazine?
Don't you think they should have gone to jail?
Regardless of what she had said.
It's just puerile.
Just abject infinite, but at least Bachman got it right, just nailed it.
But it was fascinating.
It's always fascinating.
These media people, supposedly the smartest among us, the most curious, they're journalists.
It's their job to find out what's going on and tell us.
And they're not anything of the sort.
They are just robots.
They are the mind-numbed robots.
So later on, Karen Tumuldy again talking to Goot, uh, knew it.
Uh Speaker Gingrich, sounds like Congresswoman Bachman does not believe that Wall Street's to blame for the financial.
Well, really, what's your first clue there, Karen?
You've said that the current protests on Wall Street are in your words the natural product of Obama's class warfare.
Does this mean these people who are out there protesting on Wall Street across the country have no grievance whatsoever?
I think it's perfectly reasonable for people to be angry, but let's be clear who put the fix in.
The fix was put in by the federal government.
And if you want to put people in jail, I want to second what Michelle said.
You ought to start with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
And let's look at the politicians who created the environment, the politicians who profited from the environment, and the politicians who put this country in trouble.
Clearly not saying they should go to jail.
Well, in Chris Dodd's case, go back and look at the countryside deals.
Barney Frank's case, go back and look at the lobbyists.
He was close to Freddie Mac.
Clearly, clearly, it's Charlie Rose.
Clearly, clearly you're not saying that they should go to jail.
Why the hell not?
If Wall Street people who were simply following federal directives ought to go to jail, why not the people issuing the orders?
Why not?
What is so what is so shocking and unacceptable about the premise?
The members of Congress would go to jail.
They're not royalty, Charlie.
They're not infallible.
They're goofs.
They are irresponsible.
They would never spend their own money the way they spend ours.
The subprime mortgage mess is 90% of the reason we are in the mess that we are in across our economy.
And the subprime mortgage mess was a directive of the federal government.
Newt Gingrich and Bachman are exactly right.
Well, clearly you're not saying they should go to jail.
Well, look at Chris Dodd and the phony deals he had with Angelo over at countrywide and Barney.
Barney's in there skin deep, whatever he had, whatever deep you want to say with the Fannie and Freddie people.
See how easy it is.
It's just a natural.
Why, it's like water coming out of the faucet.
Somebody on Wall Street ought to be in jail right now.
But clearly you're not saying Barney Frain.
Clearly, clearly.
No, Charlie, we are.
Herman Cain, Herman Cain, folks, consistently clear.
Herman Cain is very likable.
And more importantly, Herman Cain is unflappable.
He never hurts himself.
When did he hurt himself?
Oh, the Federal Reserve thing.
Well, nobody cares and nobody knows enough that the Federal Reserve did hurt him.
I guarantee you that Kane came across last night, a little weak on that, but you know, he he was not flappable.
You couldn't get him off the 999 thing, even when somebody said to him it sounds like the price of one of your pizzas.
It was Huntsman did that.
That was rare Huntsman actually showing that the blood flows will be back.
