	Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
	You know, show prep is such a drag.
	It's such a drag.
	I really wish I'd I wish I could be out playing golf.
	Yeah, yeah, they're making me do it.
	Everybody making me stay in and do show prep, but I'd really be out there playing golf or something.
	I'm thinking, you know, why do you why even prep this show?
	Just show up here and start saying whatever pops into my mind and then hope that my buddies in the media cover for me.
	Obama says it's a drag preparing for the um for the debate.
	Got the endorsement.
	Romney got the endorsement of John Elway yesterday, the Denver Broncos president.
	He was out in Denver.
	He's getting debate prep himself going on out there.
	And uh El Way is now endorsed.
	Woody Johnson, the owner of the Jets, pretty much has endorsed Romney when he said he wishes Romney would win more than the Jets.
	And that's a I don't think he's got much to worry about there.
	Uh if if it's a sad thing.
	Anyway, folks, as always harried here at the start.
	Uh had some technical glitches five minutes ago that I just now got resolved.
	And thing is, if I hadn't told you, you wouldn't even know.
	800 282-2882 is the number if you want to be on the program.
	The email address, Lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
	Let me lay out some of the things coming up here.
	CNN panicking over their own poll.
	As predicted, the polls are starting to tighten.
	CNN, at least what they're saying, is starting to panic about things.
	You'll hear the sound bites coming up.
	George Will.
	Oh, by the way, the Washington Post poll that that was so devastating to Romney and the swing states.
	We find out.
	We find this is this goes beyond simple incompetence or media malpractice.
	This is genuine corruption.
	We find out that, and from the the Washington Post's own pollster that they based last Friday's poll of Romney being up 10, 11, whatever it was in those three swing states on a hundred and sixty people with a margin of error of plus or minus eight.
	I'm not kidding you.
	Some people that say, you know, you get bogged down in analyzing polls too much because they don't mean anything right now.
	But the way they're being used, it does, it does mean something.
	And it's important people to find out, and this uh uh has been popping up all over the place this morning, but this 160 people.
	Plus or minus eight as the margin of error.
	So those polls last Friday, now here's the thing.
	Those polls have already worked.
	There's a reality about the makeup of the American people.
	There are people in this country who only watch the network news and only read the newspaper.
	They do not listen to what you and I would call advocacy or partisan media.
	Therefore, they don't know anything other than what they see.
	Now, and we don't know how many they are.
	The election will actually demonstrate this.
	It's one of the big questions facing us in this in this election.
	Have we lost the country?
	Um, have we reached the tipping point?
	All those questions that we've been asking.
	But there are people who only know.
	And it's not just the elderly who are afraid of computers, people from all demographics who simply watch the network news and read the newspaper, and that's it.
	And so those people today are thinking that Romney is down by 10 and 11 in the three swing states because they don't know anything.
	And the Washington Post has not published this correction, if you will.
	It was discovered, and now it's out there.
	But it's important that you know about it because it's it's as I say, this is corruption.
	I mean, to run that poll and try to present it as something serious.
	There's no there's no doubt here this has gone way beyond just bias.
	Uh This is these people have thrown in with a political party.
	They've thrown it with a political party to the extent that they do not report news.
	They're a journalist.
	They will not report news that it is in any way they think harmful or detrimental to their side.
	More on that as the program unfolds.
	George Will, with an interesting column today, why Americans might tolerate this failed president.
	And this sort of dovetails with my brilliant observation of mere moments ago of the people who do not listen to shows like this or watch Fox or even watch MSNBC, or they just do not pay any attention to partisan media or advocacy media, just the news networks, evening news and the newspapers.
	Here's George Will's last paragraph.
	Instead, the nation, which is generally reluctant to declare a president of failure, thereby admitting that it made a mistake choosing him, seems especially reluctant to give up on the first African American president.
	If so, the 2012 election speaks well of the nation's heart, if not its head.
	So George Will here is speculating Obama might survive as a failed president for two reasons.
	Americans don't like to admit that they made a mistake.
	Therefore they will not say that a president is a failure.
	And the second thing is you throw in the fact he's the first black president, and we gotta give the guy another chance, otherwise they'll call us racist or whatever.
	We've got to be fair.
	And in the process, a failure ends up tolerated on the basis of a big hearted nation.
	I frankly think the American people want Obama out of their face.
	I think the American people are sick and tired of seeing Obama in their face all day, every day, every night, and I think they're sick and tired of the media telling them things that aren't true that they know are true, and vice versa.
	Well, we'll talk about this, because again, if if if um if Will has a point, it is about those people who have a limited exposure to the uh to the media.
	Another story here, this is from uh Stephen Greenhood of Human Events.
	Why are people fleeing California?
	It's a story about the economic collapse of California, and California's a microcosm for the rest of the country.
	Well, no, it's a it could it could be a book, but it's a uh, as you print it out, just a two-page story, two and a half page story, and you read a story like this, and then you again put yourself in the place of the American people say, Well, why can't Americans look at what's happening in California or say, look at what's happening in Detroit, or look at what's happening in Chicago?
	What's happening in Chicago is that black kids are being murdered in record numbers.
	And nobody's doing anything about it.
	So, yes, why can't Americans look at Cali?
	Well, again, I I hate to be a broken record, but if this media that they only pay attention to is not going to tell them about it, they're never going to read human events.
	People I'm talking about, we just don't know how many they are.
	We don't know what percentage of the population it is that simply watches the evening newscaster reads the papers, and that's it.
	But you don't see stories there about the problems in California.
	You don't see stories there about the problems of Detroit or Chicago or anywhere else.
	You don't even see stories about the truth of what happened in Libya for crying out, much less fast and furious.
	Do you realize how many people, well, we don't know how many people it is, that's the question.
	The level of ignorance in this country, and I don't mean stupidity in this case.
	I mean, there's plenty of that too, but just straight across the board ignorance.
	And you pull your hair out, you pay attention to all this stuff, you are engaged as you can be, and it's it's simply unbelievable to you that there are people who don't know this stuff.
	But there are.
	And that again is yet another, if needed, illustration, explanation of how the media, by not doing things, also influences stories.
	Univision is not giving up on Fast and Furious.
	This is...
	this is stunning.
	I did I don't know if any of you have taken the time to go to YouTube and see any of the videos.
	It is incredible what Univision is finding and what they're reporting about Fast and Furious.
	And it is if this were a Republican president, those people would know.
	If this were a Republican president and Libya had happened, those people would know, everybody would know.
	If this were a Republican president, the American people would know that there are 2,000 dead and counting in Afghanistan in a no-win situation in a war that's being prosecuted in a totally inept and incompetent way.
	If those people did know, it wouldn't be a question of having a big heart and wanting to give a failed president a second chance because he's African American.
	It would be we've got to get rid of the guy for the good of the country and my children and grandchildren.
	When Mexican authorities took Juarez drug cartel Carnage King Jose Antonio Acosta Hernandez, better known as El Diego.
	They took him into custody.
	He had weapons from Operation Fast and Furious on his person, the English language transcript of the Spanish language TV network Univision special into the scandal shows.
	According to investigations, El Diego forms the link between this massacre of sixteen teenagers and Fast and Furious.
	Those are the words of an anchor on air in Spanish Sunday evening on Univision.
	When he was captured, El Diego, in Chihuahua in the summer of 2011, he was found with weapons the American government had allowed to enter Mexico.
	again on Univision.
	It is truly remarkable how little press revelations from Univision are getting.
	When Mexican authorities captured the drug cartel boss known as El Diego, he had weapons from Fast and Furious on his person.
	He He is one of the many links.
	He was the leader of the Juarez drug cartels La Lineo, the enforcement arm.
	And according to the El Paso Times, Mexican authorities have alleged that El Diego's responsible for the murders of at least 1,500 people in Juarez in Chihuahua City, Mexico.
	In fact, El Diego's gang, La Lanea, has been linked to at least three major massacres, all made possible by Fast and Furious.
	And massive numbers of Hispanic-speaking Americans know it now.
	They are hearing about it is amazingly uncovered.
	Just as Libya, we continue to learn even more about Libya.
	We learned that we had suspicions before the attack in Benghazi that Al Qaeda was ramping up.
	We know better than ever that we have known now that Obama and the entire administration lied for eight days with press assistance, but CNN's on this case too now.
	And the Washington Post is interestingly on this case now.
	The Libyan situation.
	So we have a full plate, and we have audio sound bites to go along with all this.
	And we have the debate coming up and people's thoughts and ideas, suggestions and so forth and also.
	You just sit tight.
	Be patient.
	We will come back and continue with all the rest of the program right after this first obscene profit timeout.
	Ladies and gentlemen, it has been suggested that I, El Rushmore, if I wish to stay out of jail, should maybe stop using the term obscene profits to describe the financial circumstances of this program.
	Because they might in the Middle East or in the White House even misunderstand obscene prophets might be considered an insult.
	And they may have a point, given how much stupidity and ignorance and political opportunity based on all that is being taken out there.
	Welcome back, Rush Limboa, and half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
	You know, I'm thinking about this George Will piece, In which says the American people really don't like admitting that presidents are failures.
	So they don't vote against incumbents much.
	That's simply that that simply isn't right.
	Um Bill Clinton is the only Democrat re-elected since FDR.
	We have no problem in this country giving up on failed presidents.
	But what will might have a point about Obama being an affirmative action hire.
	Well, he might have a point.
	There might be people with some guilt.
	Then we're gonna give the guy a second chance.
	But again, that may be manifesting itself more in polling data than what's going to happen in the polling place when uh when people actually vote.
	I know I still found it a uh an interesting thing to consider and to uh discuss.
	I'm I'm really thinking of uh of changing his obscene prophet timeout to the holy prophet timeout, just to be safe.
	I mean, these are these are very tense times out there, folks.
	So if you if you if you hear me say we got another holy prophet, tell me you understand it's just to avoid causing any problems.
	I don't want to end up in jail with the filmmaker.
	By the way, do you know what the regime is doing to try to explain this?
	Look, they lied for eight days after Benghazi.
	They lied through their teeth.
	CNN, get this CNN is saying the only conclusion is the White House tried to cover something up.
	CNN said that.
	And of course, they're right.
	There was a cover up.
	What were they covering up?
	They were covering up the fact that here's the thing, folks.
	If you want to boil this down, if you really want to understand this, Obama and the Democrats, what do you think the point was of their convention?
	Osama's dead, GM's alive.
	The point of that is we have vanquished Al Qaeda.
	If you go back when Bush was president, we're in Iraq and Afghanistan, we get the war on terror being waged.
	The Democrats are running around saying the only way that we'll let you get away with defining victory in the war on terror is killing Osama.
	Well, they set that bar pretty high, making it so that they could, along with their media buddies, be able to say that the Bush could never win as long as Osama was still alive.
	Okay, so here comes Obama, and they pull him off the golf course after three times.
	Look, we've got the guy in our sights, you gotta come in, we gotta do this.
	They finally drag Obama in off the golf course, they put on a presidential military jacket to hire a golf shirt, they sit him down the situation room, they say, just look at that TV screen while we take your picture.
	Oh, what's gonna be on that screen?
	That's where we're gonna kill bin Laden.
	Oh, okay, and you want me to look at that.
	Yep, yeah, you just look at that.
	He took that picture and they put it all out, made it look like Obama was in on this.
	In fact, gave it a kill order himself, and that was the story.
	Along with that, folks, was the idea that Al-Qaeda was vanquished as well.
	Not only did our courageous young leader wipe out and assassinate Osama bin Laden, but he took Al-Qaeda with him.
	What a victory.
	Bush didn't do that.
	Clinton didn't do that.
	I did it.
	I did it all by myself.
	Nobody else made deadhead.
	So he wipes out bin Laden, and then Al-Qaeda, and then here comes Benghazi, and who did Benghazi?
	Al Qaeda.
	Uh-oh, got a problem.
	Because as far as the White House is concerned, there is no more Al-Qaeda.
	Obama took them out when he killed Osama.
	So they have to start an immediate cover-up.
	Then we find out there was no security.
	The Marines were not armed, they were not allowed to carry live ammo.
	We learned that there was advanced knowledge of it.
	Of course it's the 9-11 anniversary.
	We know that for eight days the White House lied through their teeth about this being the responsibility of a video that it was a spontaneous attack.
	For eight days the media carried the water and covered that up, and they've broken from it, at least at CNN.
	And to a certain extent the Washington Post.
	And so now the regime is trying to lay the blame off on the CIA.
	A guy named Eli Lake writing for the Daily Beast, which is Newsweek, which is Tina Brown, which is big time social liberal territory.
	Eli Lake has written two pieces that rip the cover off of this story that it was the CIS, the latest of CIA talking points.
	The regime first found out about this in the CIA.
	And the CIA is who got it wrong.
	And we were simple so this president has no compunction whatsoever of blaming anybody else, including in his own administration, for his own errors.
	But the big problem was there wasn't supposed to be an Al Qaeda anymore, and it was Al-Qaeda who killed our ambassador.
	We're in the middle of an incompetent mess like I've never seen.
	The most listened to radio talk show in America, El Rushmore.
	You're guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, corruption, bias.
	Yes.
	Yes, and even the good times here at the EIB network.
	Our microphones were there during Obama debate preparation.
	We have that coming up.
	By the way, folks, there's a story that broke out of Pennsylvania today, has a lot of people up in arms.
	Pennsylvania judge today ordered state officials not to enforce Pennsylvania's tough new voter ID law in the coming election.
	The judge said there wasn't enough time to ensure that some voters would not be disenfranchised.
	Now let me tell you what really happened in this case.
	The judge in this case upheld the law.
	He was appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
	The Pennsylvania Supreme Court essentially reversed this judge.
	It's about two weeks ago.
	And their order to him in the reversal made it nearly impossible for him to uphold the law.
	They sent it back to him with instructions that made it impossible for him to uphold the law as he had the first time.
	So the judge, names Robert Simpson, upheld the law.
	Supreme Court of Pennsylvania essentially tied his hand, set it back down.
	I'm giving you a Cliff Notes version.
	He had to reverse himself because of the way the Supreme Court sent it back.
	It's an example of court corruption.
	The courts are upholding illegal immigration, they're upholding illegal voting.
	The courts are upholding unconstitutional health care laws.
	I mean, the system is imploding.
	The financial system is imploding.
	The legal system is imploding.
	The media's gone.
	The media's been totally taken over.
	No, no, Simpson upheld this law back on August 15th.
	Don't get mad at this judge.
	The way the stories are written today, this judge is the he upheld the law.
	August 15th.
	This is a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision.
	This is the left.
	This is what they do, even when they lose elections.
	They have people, they have their activists, they have their radicals positioned in lifetime positions on the courts and the bureaucracy.
	And this is how this is how they do it.
	Now back to back to Libya for just a second.
	Really, the the regime is trying to blame the CIA.
	The CIA put some talking points out that this whole thing in Benghazi was spontaneous at first, and it was only later we figured out that it had nothing to do with the videotape and that it was Al-Qaeda.
	But this was all known by Obama.
	Well, there's a question of when Obama knew.
	There's even really a question of when he was told by people.
	No, no, what to believe in that regard.
	There's a piece in the Wall Street Journal today that basically says Benghazi was Obama's 3 a.m.
	phone call that he got at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and he hung up.
	Couple pull quotes from the Wall Street Journal piece.
	No doubt the administration would now like to shift blame to Mr. Clapper.
	That's what they're trying to the national security guy, Clapper.
	They're always going to need a fall guy.
	But what happened in Benghazi was not a failure of intelligence.
	And this is next this next is key.
	It was a failure of policy, stemming from a flawed worldview and the political needs of an election season.
	Let's review.
	The United States ignores warnings of a security situation, a perilous security situation in Benghazi.
	Nothing happens because nobody's really paying attention, especially in an election year, because Libya is supposed to be a foreign policy success, just as Egypt, just as the Arab Spring.
	When something does happen, the administration's concerns for the safety of Americans are subordinated to considerations of Libyan sovereignty and the need for permission.
	After the attack, the regime blames a video, perhaps because it would be politically inconvenient to note that Al Qaeda is far from defeated, and that we are no more popular under Mr. Obama than we were under Bush.
	And this is what has to be covered up.
	You have to cover up that Al Qaeda is still alive and thriving and growing, and that this country is still as unpopular there as it was under Bush.
	Got to cover that up.
	Denouncing the video and denouncing the filmmaker also appeals to the regime's reflexive habits of blaming America first.
	Now once that story falls apart, it's time to blame the Intel munchkins over to CIA, which they're now doing, and then move on.
	It was five in the afternoon when Obama took his 3 a.m. call and he still flubbed it.
	And now there are reports that we supplied the weapons to the Libyan rebels.
	But we didn't vet them to see if terrorists were among them.
	Because Obama had vanquished the terrorists.
	And the terrorists liked us now because Obama was president.
	That's the flawed worldview.
	And it is the flawed liberal worldview, the flawed liberal worldview.
	For those of you in Atlanta, this is our second day on the Big Blowtorch WSB.
	And I feel like some of you in Atlanta have never heard this program before when I know that's not the case.
	But it never hurts sometimes to go back to the ground floor to basics, build a foundation.
	The liberal worldview is starts out with an overriding truth in their mind.
	America is to blame.
	America is unjust and immoral, as founded.
	We never deserved superpower status because we didn't do it on our own.
	We actually stole resources and other things from people around the world.
	We're the reason that there are poor people in the world because we we essentially took their stuff.
	We waltzed in under the pretense of doing good, but we took their stuff.
	We take their oil, we take their diamonds, we think whatever we do, and we make ourselves rich, while one percent of us get rich.
	And we don't deserve this superpower status.
	And it's time, by the way, in Obama's worldview, that the U.S. finds out what it's like to live in the rest of the world.
	So there is no such thing as American exceptionalism.
	There's no desire to keep America number one in economic output in education, any of that stuff.
	Number 34 is fine.
	We're no better than anybody else.
	Start talking about American exceptionalism.
	Obama will say, well, I'm pretty sure that they think they're exceptional Sweden too.
	Well what right do we have to say we're exceptional?
	Of course it's our constitution and our history and our freedom and our liberty and all of that.
	So you have the Benghazi situation, the Libyan situation, the Arab Spring, Arab Spring was strictly.
	You realize 20 months ago what we were going through.
	If you give thought back, 20 months ago, Tariri Square in Cairo.
	And we are being told it is an outbreak of freedom, and it is directly tied to Obama's presidency.
	That the election of Obama and the world's love and respect for this man has caused an outbreak of democracy and freedom All over the world, including the Middle East.
	Oh, hallelujah.
	And so CNN sent reporters over to talk to people in Tare Square who were protesting against Mubarik.
	There was no democratic uprising.
	It was a Muslim Brotherhood uprising.
	It was a Islamic supremacist uprising.
	There was nothing democratic about it.
	There was no democracy.
	There was no liberty and freedom as we understand it.
	But Obama and the media, nevertheless, building that false narrative.
	And they send reporters over to interview the people in Teriri Square to find out how much they love Obama.
	How much they appreciate Obama.
	So the worldview is the Americans are loved again.
	The United States is loved and adored and respected again because Bush is gone and Obama's president.
	Then we kill bin Laden, and that takes out Al Qaeda, and therefore there can't be any more terrorism against us because we've wiped them out.
	Besides, they don't dislike us anymore.
	We supported the Arab Spring.
	Yeah, we took out Osama, but he wasn't really any more than a figurehead anyway.
	We supported the rebels in Libya, we supported the rebels in Egypt.
	We've made it clear we're not that crazy about Israel ourselves anymore, the administration's viewpoint anyway.
	And so we're loved and adored.
	And then this happens.
	Our ambassador gets killed, our embassy in Cairo, and the leftists in the White House are scratching their heads, and oh my God, how can this happen?
	They loved us.
	So they have to immediately start a cover-up, a new narrative.
	It's that filmmaker.
	You know, it's that video.
	No way again, America's to blame.
	America's responsible.
	Some extremist right wing Christian with the movie insults Muhammad.
	And that justifies, by the way, what happened.
	It's totally understandable.
	And then Obama begins another world apology tour, culminating at the UN, apologizing for our First Amendment, apologizing for the concept and notion of free speech.
	Actually says at the United Nations, or makes some reference to the fact that the days of being able to control speech are long gone, as though that's something he would be interested in being able to do.
	Controlling speech, controlling thought, what have you.
	Sir Ambassador Gitzkin, we find out that the Marines were not armed.
	We find out that we were in no way prepared, even though the ambassador in his own diary discovered by CNN had expressed fears for his life and for his security.
	It's the anniversary of 9-11.
	On that day, our embassy in Egypt puts out a pre-apology for the video.
	And they still riot at our embassy.
	A still kill the ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi.
	And for eight days, the regime has to engage in a cover-up because their worldview makes the policy.
	The policy is America is at fault.
	That's the first place you look to assign blame.
	And you got to protect Obama.
	That's phase two.
	Whatever happens, it can't be because of Obama's incompetence or a mistake in policy or what have you.
	See, blame the video.
	You get the media to go along, you blame the video.
	And then maybe if it didn't fly after a while, you blame the CIA.
	Everybody hates CIA.
	If that doesn't work, well, we'll get rid of our national security guy named after a toilet clapper.
	Who can oppose that?
	The whole point, though, and the uh Wall Street Journal piece is right on the money.
	All of this happens because of liberalism.
	It is flawed, it is corrupt.
	It is not an ideology that celebrates America.
	It blames America.
	And that's where we are.
	Fast and Furious, same thing.
	Death, destruction made possible by virtue of American policy.
	The plan there was to get American-made assault weapons in the hands of drug cartels, knowing full Well, what they would do with those weapons.
	They'd pull the trigger.
	People would die.
	A compliant news media was then supposed to report with outrage.
	Senseless death brought on by drug cartels in Mexico, easily obtaining American weapons.
	We've got to do something about guns.
	Finally, once and for all.
	And the media chorus picks that up.
	And all the social liberals at their dinner party start talking about wringing their hands.
	We've got to get rid of guns.
	And then we find out that the only reason the drug cartel guys had the guns is that it was an administration policy that put them there.
	But the U.S. media covers that up, doesn't talk about that, nothing to see here.
	That would hurt Obama.
	Can't have that.
	Can take it no more.
	Finally does an expose in late September and October of this year, on the eve of an election, with details that not even we knew of the death and destruction.
	I mean, the full scope of this scandalous and that's exactly what it is program.
	And still, no mention of it in the mainstream American media.
	But the Hispanic vote, said to be a deadlock for Obama, is hearing all about this.
	And others are hearing about the failure in Libya in the proper prospect for the uh context for the first time.
	I gotta take a break here.
	I'm a little long.
	The next segment's gonna be short.
	That's just how we do it here.
	Hey, a quick question, folks.
	Are they holding back the medical examiner's report on the death of the ambassador, Chris Stevens?
	Are they holding it back?
	I mean, I mean, you know, the media is so curious about Romney's 1994 tax returns.
	The media is so curious about what Romney did in the prep school in 1965.
	But are they curious about the medical report on the death of our ambassador?
	No.
	No curiosity whatsoever.
	However, they are panicking.
	If we are to believe them, we go to the audio sound bites this morning, a montage of CNN reporters talking about the polls.
	The polls, there has been some tightening.
	We've seen a little bit of tightening in some of the national polling just in the last couple days.
	New CNN ORC numbers show the race tightening.
	Some tightening from a little surge that Obama had.
	The polls are tightening that convention bounce that the president guide is going to start to narrow.
	Last week the election was over.
	Three states, swing states, ABC poll, Obama up 10, 11.
	We find out the Washington Post asked 160 people.
	Margin of error plus or minus eight.
	They found out about that at CNN.
	Their own poll has come into question.
	Here's Wolf Blitzer last night on the Situation Room.
	Happening now just two days before the first Obama Romney debate, and our new CNN national poll shows the president's lost, lost his close convention bounce.
	Shows the race between President Obama and Governor Romney remaining up for grabs.
	The president leads 50 to 47%, but his three-point margin is within the poll sampling error.
	Oh, no.
	Did you hear Wilson lost, lost the convention?
	Oh no!
	John King is shocked to learn.
	CNN, Wolf Blitzer show.
	John King shocked to learn that after months and months of telling us the opposite, suddenly.
	This poll tells them this election is about Obama's job performance and not his likability.
	Oh no!
	Governor Romney has improved his standing among independents.
	He now leads the president by eight points among those who describe themselves as independent voters.
	That's a significant improvement for Governor Romney, 49% to 41% among independents.
	And again, the defining question when you have an incumbent president, what do the American people think of that president's job performance?
	Not do they like him, but what about his job approval rating?
	And the presidents is down in our new poll.
	Forty nine percent of Americans approve of his performance, 48% disapprove.
	So the country essentially evenly divided on how the president has handled this job.
	Oh no.
	See, this was supposed to be about likability, not job performance.
	The media cover that up.
	But Obama, first black president, historical.
	He's loved, he was the one, he was the Messiah.
	Oh no.
	Their poll shows that it's about job performance.
	But wait, Bill Clinton spoke.
	Didn't they tell us that Bill Clinton he took care of all this when Bill Clinton said I'm just telling you, there's not a single person out there, including me, who could have done anything with this economy.
	Nobody could have done a thing.
	Nobody could have done any better what this man did.
	And the Clinton bounce, and that was it.
	That's why Romney was going to lose.
	Now that's gone.
	Now it's about job performance.
	Oh no!
	Okay, folks, that's it.
	The first hour of broadcast excellence is over.
	It's in the can on the way over to the Limbaugh Broadcast Museum, which the virtual museum is open.
	You can see it at rushlimbaugh.com.
	If you haven't, it's a great tour.
	Sit tight, my friends.
	Another holy prophet timeout.
