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

RUSH: Lodi, California, next. Hi, Dave. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I thank you, sir, for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m flattered you\u2019re here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I would plea to the heart and soul of Rush Revere to allow me three to four minutes max to make my statement and I will not interrupt after that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can\u2019t make that pledge. Three to four minutes, you could end up boring half the audience. You\u2019re not a seasoned, highly trained professional.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ll try.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Give it a shot.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ll start with a quote from an Irish statesman in the 1700s, Edmund Burke. “The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse,” and I say that this is 120% applicable to the first mixed-race president of Barack Obama. And I\u2019ll go further and draw a comparison to Reverend Jones and his cult followers, where Obama is Reverend Jones, and the followers are his administration, the Democrats in Congress, and 98% of the mainstream media.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And you —<\/p>\n

CALLER: They all —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You better not say that Two If By Tea<\/a> is the Kool-Aid.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, no. No, no, no. Not a chance. They\u2019re all drinking the Kool-Aid to the point of being intoxicated by lies, cover-ups, and no accountability, and this is all a result of a scandal finally sticking to the Teflon president.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s the thing. Will anything stick? I have to tell you, the Drive-Bys have reviewed the press conference, some of them have, and Luke Russert at NBC called it a disaster. Somebody at MSNBC said, “The president is obviously in pain.” It is being called incoherent and rambling. The president, in his press conference, apparently blamed the media for not telling anybody any of the good news. But somebody in the media said, “Well, he didn\u2019t tell us any good news, either.” <\/p>\n

Honestly. I\u2019ve just seen those two or three reviews. Luke Russert and I think it was somebody — I don\u2019t even mention the name — at MSNBC. There\u2019s no point, but it was so anchorette, infobabe there. A disaster, incoherent, rambling hour, and they made note of the fact that Obama really blamed the media for not reporting any of the good news, any of the good things happening. Whoever wrote this review said, “Yeah, well, he didn\u2019t, either. He didn\u2019t tell us anything good that was happening in the rollout of Obamacare or any of that.” <\/p>\n

So whether or not this — if you\u2019re gonna call it a scandal — sticks, we\u2019ll see. <\/line><\/a><\/line><\/p>\n

Grab sound bite number three. Ladies and gentlemen, old buddy Andy McCarthy was on with Megyn Kelly last night on Fox. Andy wrote a fabulous piece at National Review Online making the case that all of this is a very impeachable offense, that Obama has committed real fraud, criminal-type fraud with his lie about you being able to keep your plan and keep your doctor. <\/p>\n

He made the point that if you compare Obama to Madoff, Obama is far worse. Madoff lied to a select few dupes. Obama lied to the country<\/a>. Even in terms of money, Obama\u2019s fraud and deceit is costing this country far more money than what Madoff lost and cheated out of people. So let\u2019s listen to a little bit of Andy here. Megyn said to him, “Last night, you wrote a column for National Review Online that says Obama\u2019s guilty of fraud, serial fraud.”<\/p>\n

MCCARTHY: Far more serious than people who routinely get prosecuted by the Justice Department. Just the lie about: “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” which basically just scratches the surface of the fraud here, was repeated systematically and numerous times years after we can prove that he knew what he was saying was not true. We have millions of victims. There\u2019ll be untold billions of losses here. If ever there has been a fraud on the entire American people, it\u2019s this one. We\u2019re talking about serial fraud on multiple levels.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So then, Megyn Kelly said, “You can prosecute for somebody for material misstatement, material omission, if there was something he should have disclosed but didn\u2019t. But this is an exercise in theoretical discussion, because nobody\u2019s gonna indict the president. So what\u2019s the remedy, Andy? If people believe, as the polls suggest they do, that they have been intentionally lied to by the president, what is the remedy?”<\/line><\/p>\n

MCCARTHY: The remedy the framers gave us for reigning in executive excess, especially if it gets this abusive, is impeachment. Now, impeachment is a political remedy, it\u00c2\u2019s not a legal remedy. So even if you can prove high crimes and misdemeanors, and I don\u00c2\u2019t think there\u00c2\u2019d be any problem actually proving them, it doesn\u2019t even make sense to have that discussion until there\u00c2\u2019s a political appetite in the country to actually remove the president. I don\u2019t think we\u00c2\u2019re anywhere close to there at this point. However, this is a big, scandalous scheme.<\/line>
