\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Ah, yeah, you can just see it. The Drive-Bys are just ecstatic, so happy to have Obama back home, back in Washington, back from Hawaii. Now they can resume the soap opera, put him as the lead character of the Washington soap opera back on the air. And, of course, income inequality and unemployment extension benefits happen to be the two plot lines of the soap opera today. And they will be for as long as it takes to make people forget the misery of Obamacare and the misery of Obamanomics or economics.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: President Obama returned to Washington from his 17-day vacation in Hawaii yesterday<\/a>, great relief for the Drive-By Media, which can now resume their soap opera. Several articles out today outlining the plot lines for the upcoming months of the soap opera in Washington that is called the news. There is no news. It\u2019s all a soap opera. The plot lines are, “Can Obama successfully save Obamacare? Can Obama overcome the mean Republicans and extend emergency unemployment benefits? Can Obama do something about income inequality?” Those are the main plot lines of the Washington soap opera today.<\/line><\/p>\n

Back with much more after this. Oh. That\u2019s right, you know what? I got screwed up. I looked at the clock and I\u2019ve got more time than I thought.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s exactly what is happening, folks. French News Agency: “Obama Back from Pacific Break to Face Sea of Troubles.” They got to take the focus off Obamacare. It continues to be a total disaster. And so minimum wage, income inequality, and extending unemployment benefits, those are the soap opera plot lines. You\u2019ve probably already seen them talked about already in the news.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: President Obama left Honolulu\u2019s Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickham just before nine p.m. with his daughters. Michelle stayed behind as a birthday present. I guess her birthday is on January 17th, so the news says that Obama let her stay, as a birthday president. You think that\u2019s how it actually happened? Obama says to, “Honey, you know what? Uh, your birthday is coming up, and you know, I\u2019m gonna allow you to stay here.”<\/p>\n

Ha! You think that\u2019s really how it happened? What do you think actually happened? Come on, Snerdley, take a stab at it. Do you really think Obama said, “You know what? Your birthday is coming up, and I\u2019m gonna allow you to stay here”? Mmm-hmm. Now, I just don\u2019t… (interruption) <\/line><\/a><\/line><\/p>\n

No, I don\u2019t think she said anything about the Danish playmate. You mean from the Mandela event?<\/p>\n

No, no, I don\u2019t think so. No. But I don\u2019t think she\u2019s saying because Obama allowed her to stay. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any allowing going on here from Obama to Michelle. There might be the other way around, but something tells me that that\u2019s not the way this all shook out. Anyway, Obama\u2019s back, folks. Right here says it says, “As part of her birthday gift from the president, the first lady will remain in Hawaii to spend time with friends ahead of her upcoming 50th birthday.”<\/p>\n

Oh, I\u2019m sorry. Her birthday is January 30th. I\u2019m sorry, I saw January 17th. That must be the day she\u2019s coming back. Anyway, the story then says (this is the French News Agency), “With his approval rating languishing at near record lows and locked in a cold war with Congress, Obama needs quit victories in the run-up to his State of the Union [show] at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

“After 16 days of rest in Hawaii, Obama must oversee the final implementation of his troubled health care reform and find a way to help thousands of long-term unemployed stripped of their benefits.” That did happen. Over the Christmas break, some number of Americans\u2019 extended unemployment benefits ran out. They expired. After four years. Yeah, it can add up to four years of unemployment benefits.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 99 weeks, and then there have been some extensions added on the top of it, and some of them just ran out, and so now it\u2019s crisis. So we have to extend unemployment benefits again, and the Republicans will go along with it. Don\u2019t think that they won\u2019t. In addition to that, we\u2019ve got “income inequality.” That\u2019s the next thing Obama\u2019s gonna be talking about, taking his cue from de Blasio<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
