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

RUSH: Moving on to the Obamacare Stack, there are a lot of reports today, expressions of anger, humiliation, disappointment, over the debacle that continues to be the Obamacare website. More glitches. Now you\u2019ve got people saying, “You know what, this thing can\u2019t be fixed. It\u2019s gonna have to torn down and rebuilt from scratch.” And, by the way, remember the picture of the young woman that\u2019s been the iconic figure at HealthCare.gov? She\u2019s gone now. They\u2019ve replaced her with two or three icons or graphics. That woman was probably the Julia of the famous Obamacare commercial. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But, anyway, I\u2019ll give you an example. There\u2019s a piece here by our old buddy Ron Fournier, who used to work at the AP, bureau chief and then White House correspondent, and now he\u2019s at the National Journal. And his piece is called, “Obama Takes Friendly Fire.” I\u2019m just gonna read verbatim the way his piece begins. “Incoming from Democrats: ‘Dem Party is F****d.\u2019 That was the subject line of an email sent to me Sunday by a senior Democratic consultant with strong ties to the White House and Capitol Hill. The body of the email contained a link to this Los Angeles Times story about Obamacare ‘sticker shock:'” And I have that LA Times story. I\u2019ll get to that here in just a second. Let me finish with Ron Fournier\u2019s piece. <\/p>\n

In the LA Times story, it says, “These middle-class consumers are staring at hefty increases on their insurance bills as the overhaul remakes the healthcare market. Their rates are rising in large part to help offset the higher costs of covering sicker, poorer people who have been shut out of the system for years. … Although recent criticism of the healthcare law has focused on website glitches and early enrollment snags, experts say sharp price increases for individual policies have the greatest potential to erode public support for President Obama\u2019s signature legislation.” <\/p>\n

Bingo! It isn\u2019t just that the HealthCare.gov website\u2019s a mess; it\u2019s that people who are figuring it out and getting through are finding out, and we\u2019ve had the stories left and right, we got a Stack of \u2019em again today, about what people are discovering is gonna happen to their premiums. In fact, I mentioned last week that all of these glitches that are taking place and preventing people from signing in and logging on are actually maybe a blessing in disguise for the regime, because these people are not learning, the people that are having trouble getting through, they\u2019re not learning have they\u2019re gonna get shafted. <\/p>\n

So, anyway, Ron Fournier writes this piece, and he talks about an e-mail he got from a senior Democrat consultant who opened his e-mail by saying, “We\u2019re screwed. Democrat Party screwed.” That was the subject line. And he\u2019s bouncing off this LA Times piece. In the story, the reporter “quoted a letter sent to a California insurance company executive. ‘I was all for Obamacare,\u2019 wrote a young woman complaining about a 50 percent rate hike related to the health care law, ‘until I found out I was paying for it.'”<\/p>\n

This story in the LA Times actually has that quote in it. A woman, young woman, big Obama voter, big Obama supporter, all-in for Obamacare, and then she says, “I was all for Obamacare until I found out I was paying for it.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Also of interest to the Democratic consultant: A Josh Barro column on Obama\u2019s promise that ‘if you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.\u2019 It was never a reasonable pledge, Barro argues, and it\u2019s being proven false. He called this ‘a good thing\u2019 because ‘a lot of existing health plans were bad.\u2019 Reforming the nation\u2019s health care system ‘was necessarily going to have to change a lot of people\u2019s health plans,\u2019 Barro wrote.”<\/p>\n

Well, what good does that do people? The president of the United States promised them over and over again that they get to keep their plan if they liked it and they get to keep their doctor, and they can\u2019t. And they\u2019re all learning this. He promised them over and over again their premiums are coming down $2,500, and they\u2019re not. And then the Democrat that wrote Ron Fournier this note that leads off with, “Democrat Party screwed,” said, “We will own this problem forever.” <\/p>\n

“The Democratic consultant said none of this is news to him,” he knew all about what Obamacare was gonna do, “but he wonders why,” now listen to this. I\u2019m gonna go nuts here. Listen to this. This is not an inside-the-Beltway conservative writing here. This is a senior Democrat consultant who wrote an e-mail to Ron Fournier. I\u2019ll just read to you what Fournier wrote. “The Democratic consultant said none of this is news to him, but he wonders why Obama wasn\u2019t honest with Americans.” Good grief, folks! <\/p>\n

So now a ranking Democrat consultant is rubbing his hands together, he\u2019s really worried. He thinks the Democrat Party is screwed, that they\u2019re gonna own this problem forever, that it can\u2019t be fixed, and he wonders why Obama wasn\u2019t honest with Americans. The task is larger than I thought, folks. The level, the amount, the shocking tonnage of sheer ignorance at what we think are the highest levels of government and politics is almost irreconcilable to me. This does not compute. How in the world a Democrat consultant wonders why Obama wasn\u2019t honest with people. Can I answer it for you? <\/p>\n

Had he been honest with people about anything, nothing would have passed. Had he been honest about his stimulus, it wouldn\u2019t have happened. Had he been honest about what he intended for the job, the economy, he wouldn\u2019t have been elected. Had he been honest about what he intended in foreign policy, he wouldn\u2019t have been elected. Had he been honest about what\u2019s gonna happen to people\u2019s health care, he would not have been elected. What do you mean, you don\u2019t know why he lied to people? <\/p>\n

Is it an extreme statement to say the Democrat Party has to lie in campaigns? The Democrat Party cannot be honest about its intentions. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t have a federal budget for four years, because the Democrat Party does not want to spell out their policy objectives. They don\u2019t want to spell out what they intend to do with tax increases, the size of government, health care, you name it. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t have a budget, pure and simple. A Democrat consultant wonders why Obama wasn\u2019t honest with Americans, and people on our side say it took \u2019em five weeks after the immaculation to figure out who they\u2019re dealing with here? Man, are we screwed. There\u2019s no other way to put it. <\/p>\n

Folks, let me tell you: The low-information voters may know more about what\u2019s going on than the intelligentsia does. Low-information voters may have a bigger handle on their future than people advising them do. I may be making fun of the wrong people here when we talk about the low-information voters! A Democrat consultant wonders why Obama wasn\u2019t honest with Americans? He went on to predict surprises and outrage over higher costs and lesser coverage? <\/line>Really? <\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a bold prediction! <\/p>\n

We will own this problem forever? You guys knew what you were doing when you did it. Are you trying to tell me that when you Democrats gathered to pas this thing — and got Steny Hoyer and Bart Stupak and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi herding everybody in — you didn\u2019t know what you were doing? Are you Democrats telling me you had no idea what this really was? They didn\u2019t read the bill! Let\u2019s be honest. Pelosi said, “We\u2019re gonna have to pass it to find out what\u2019s in it.” <\/p>\n

This is why, folks, I say Obama doesn\u2019t care about any of this. He didn\u2019t care what\u2019s in it because all he wanted was to get it passed. He doesn\u2019t care. But these people, they\u2019re admitting they didn\u2019t know what this was, or they want us to believe that. I think everybody is in a CYA. This is so bad, it is such a disaster, that everybody\u2019s laying down markers covering their rear end. That\u2019s what this consultant\u2019s doing. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s no way these people didn\u2019t know what this bill was. There\u2019s no way. They intended it! For crying out loud, they intended the government to grow. They intended for health care to become the mechanism for that. They intended all this, and now they\u2019re running around saying, “Oh, my God, we didn\u2019t know any of this!” Bull, they didn\u2019t know any of this. But here\u2019s the thing about this piece by Mr. Fournier, just so you have this in the proper context. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re not worried about what this means to the American people. They\u2019re worried about what it means to the Democrat Party now. That\u2019s why there are all these media reports now expressing anger or humiliation or disappointment. They\u2019re worried. Like this consultant wrote to Fournier, “Oh, my God, we\u2019re screwed! We\u2019re gonna own this forever.” That\u2019s right, because not one Republican voted for this. But they\u2019re worried not about the effect on you.<\/line><\/p>\n

They\u2019re not worried that your family budget\u2019s gonna be torn up to handle this. They\u2019re not worried about any of the impact on you here. They\u2019re worried about the impact on them. They\u2019re worried about the impact on Obama. They\u2019re worried about the impact on the Democrats. They\u2019re worried about the impact on the leftist agenda. That\u2019s what they\u2019re worried about and that\u2019s why they\u2019re writing this stuff today. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re letting Obama know how deeply they have been hurt, they\u2019re letting Obama know how deeply they think they\u2019ve been misled, and they\u2019re all in giant CYA mode today. Everybody is. Everybody! They say, “Well, I didn\u2019t know who Obama was for a little while.” Now this Democrat consultants says, “Why would Obama lie to people?” He wonders why Obama wasn\u2019t honest. “Why weren\u2019t you honest with the American people?” <\/p>\n

You guys, as consultants, run ads… <\/p>\n

Folks, I am so fit to be tied, I can\u2019t…<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This LA Times story is not the only story of its kind today. There\u2019s also one in the Chicago Tribune. In fact, let me just give you the headline. This is Daily Caller. “Here\u2019s How Obamacare Might Make Life Hell for College Professors.” So I have to get the details as the program unfolds, but here are just the headlines. “Here\u2019s How Obamacare Might Make Life Hell for College Professors.” <\/p>\n

Apparently they have no idea what\u2019s coming because they\u2019re idiots, too. Do you realize we\u2019re being led and governed by genuinely stupid people, folks? If everything we\u2019re being asked to believe today is really true, then we\u2019re being governed by sheer idiocy no matter where we turn. NBC\u2019s Lexington, Kentucky, affiliate: “The Real Cost to Kentuckians for the Affordable Care Act.” From the Wall Street Journal: “How Retirees Will Suffer Under Obamacare.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From the Chicago Sun-Times: “Obamacare Jacks Up Her Insurance — Sue Klinkhamer has a problem. It\u2019s called Obamacare. And the irony of her situation is not lost on her. In a recent email addressed to her former boss, Illinois Congressman Bill Foster, and other Democratic colleagues, she wrote: ‘I spent two years defending Obamacare. I had constituents scream at me, spit at me and call me names that I can\u2019t put in print.<\/p>\n

“The congressman was not re-elected in 2010 mainly because of the anti-Obamacare anger. When the congressman was not re-elected, I also (along with the rest of our staff) lost my job. I was upset that because of the health care issue, I didn\u2019t have a job anymore but still defended Obamacare because it would make health care available to everyone at, what I assumed, would be an affordable price. I have now learned that I was wrong. Very wrong.'” She\u2019s 60. <\/p>\n

Yeah, like, OMG! So she\u2019s a congressional staffer. She\u2019s a staffer, and just three years ago, her premium was $225 with a $2,500 deductible. Today she\u2019s at $322 and $6,500, and she\u2019s like everybody: She believed Obama. She\u2019s a loyal Democrat. She ran around and stumped for it. She believed her Congressman. It was gonna get cheaper, and everybody was gonna be covered. But now, wherever you turn today, this Obamacare is bad. That\u2019s just four stories from a burgeoning Obamacare Stack. <\/p>\n

(interruption)<\/p>\n

You\u2019re damn right I\u2019m mad! <\/p>\n

For five years we have been telling people the truth about it on this show and elsewhere. For five years! You know what? The problem is, these people own it. I have no sympathy for \u2019em, but the fact of the matter is they have doomed this country with their stupidity, with their blind loyalty and their stupid hatred of conservatives drummed up by a media that knows what it\u2019s doing. These people — via their stupidity and their partisanship and their ignorance and whatever else — have supported something that is an albatross, at best. <\/p>\n

They had every opportunity to learn the truth about this. <\/p>\n

They had every chance to believe the truth. <\/p>\n

And because of their own closed-minded bigotry, they chose to reject the truth when they heard it because they didn\u2019t think the people telling them the truth were good people. They thought the people telling them the truth were racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe conservative extremists. So they weren\u2019t gonna believe the truth. They believed the people lying to them, and they believed it all the way up until the moment of truth when they found out they\u2019d been lied to. And even with all that, the concern now is not these people and the costs that they\u2019re going to experience. <\/p>\n

Oh, no!<\/p>\n

The concern in the media is, “How will this affect Obama and the Democrat Party, and what can we do to mitigate that?” <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I\u2019m gonna get to the phones here in a minute. I\u2019m gonna have to, folks, because I\u2019m so spitting mad, I cannot tell you. I got a follow-up note to my friend who told me what I\u2019m not getting, told me how best to understand the inside the Beltway sophisticates, people that don\u2019t really have any principle or anything. And he\u2019s got a point here. He said, “Rush, I\u2019m surprised. All I\u2019m saying is it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise to you. Many times when the 2012 election looked close, I heard and I\u2019m sure you heard the following in an intentionally sophisticated tone from business savvy but politically naive people. Quote, ‘Obama\u2019s big mistake was going to the health care bill. He should have focused on economic growth.'” And, you know, folks, I have to admit that this guy has a point. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll never forget something. I was watching a cable news show, and it was somebody like Fareed Zakaria: GPS, using his frequent location data on his show, some liberal commentator, a Wall Street type guest, and it was about the 2012 election and they said, “Clearly Obama is interested in reducing the debt as part of his campaign.” I said, “Whoa, what am I watching?” My friend here is right. The people I\u2019m talking about were ranking members of the DC establishment, ranking network commentator, network guest. I forget the names, I don\u2019t really know who, but take your pick. You know, one was a Wall Street Journal reporter and the other was some typical business network guest or whatever. <\/p>\n

And my mouth is open in incredulity. Do you really think that Obama is going to have to and wants to do something about the debt? Have you not lived through these four years of $5 trillion of new debt practically written single-handedly by the guy? And so the point is you have all of these moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans, inside the Beltway, the New York-Washington-Boston corridor, a lot of them are on Wall Street, a lot of them are in Hollywood, a lot of them everywhere, and they voted for Obama, and they just assume that every politician wants to lower the debt, that every politician wants to grow the economy to facilitate reelection. Those are just the standard, ordinary operating procedure assumptions. And they all make them, that a good economy is a top priority. <\/p>\n

So they debate Obama\u2019s policies within that framework, missing totally what he\u2019s really doing, which is transforming, rearranging, reordering the economy by shrinking it. These people are considered the wizards of smart, the Warren Buffetts and Bill Gates of the world, and they are clueless. They do not see what\u2019s right in front of their noses. My friend here is right. They do live on these assumptions, that every politician has certain things about \u2019em that are identical, and one is when it\u2019s reelection time they want a growing economy and reduce the debt, and so they just plug that in when talking about Obama and say, “This what he\u2019s gonna have to do, what he wants to do, debt reduction policies.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we watch this, and it\u2019s no wonder we tune \u2019em out, they\u2019re clueless. They don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about. These are the same people that didn\u2019t have the slightest clue, apparently, what Obamacare was all about and why Obama really wants it? And now they\u2019ve looked at it from the standard prism of Washington legislation, that every president wants to do something that\u2019s gonna help, in this case, health care. They can\u2019t conceive a politician writing, sponsoring legislation that will hurt something. So they don\u2019t even consider it. <\/p>\n

They look at it within the framework of it\u2019s helping, and then when it doesn\u2019t work, like this rollout is showing it\u2019s an absolute disaster, then they start wringing their hands, “Well, why did Obama lie?” Which is all fine and dandy, but it wouldn\u2019t insult me as much if I wasn\u2019t told that these are the smart people and we\u2019re the rubes and the idiots. They\u2019re the ruling classes. We\u2019re the country class. We don\u2019t know what we\u2019re talking about when in fact we\u2019re being governed and led by absolute buffoons. Forget the ideological components. Nancy Pelosi\u2019s a buffoon. So is Harry Reid. They\u2019re also radical liberal buffoons, but they\u2019re buffoons, morons! And, of course, the inside-the-Beltway culture, the media, treats them not as buffoons but as the architects and the wizards of smart. And we are the rubes. <\/p>\n

Then when it all goes wrong, the only area of concern they have, “Oh, my God, how is this gonna affect us?” And not them personally, but them politically. “How\u2019s this gonna affect our hold on power? How\u2019s this gonna affect our ability to get power?” They\u2019re not asking, “My gosh, how are we gonna afford health care?” You know why? Because they got their carve-out! They got their subsidies! Pardon me for yelling, I\u2019m sorry, I really gotta go to the phones or I\u2019m gonna go nuts here because I am so ticked off, I can\u2019t tell you. This woman in the Chicago Sun Times story, this Ms. Klinkhamer, her plan was $225 a month with a $1,500 deductible. Now it\u2019s $345 month and a $6,500 deductible, and she can\u2019t afford it. <\/p>\n

She says that to get the same kind of plan that she had before Obamacare was enacted, she would have to pay $647 a month. But members of Congress don\u2019t because they got their 70% subsidy. Remember? They said they couldn\u2019t afford it. The staff and members of Congress, who make 174 grand, they couldn\u2019t afford it. They begged Obama for a carve-out, and they got their carve-out. If it weren\u2019t for the congressional 70% subsidy, we would be bombarded with stories like this from Capitol Hill, from members of the staff and elected officials who would also be complaining about these massive Obamacare costs, but they got their subsidies. <\/p>\n

You know, I don\u2019t know what I\u2019ve been doing, I\u2019ve probably been yelling and that\u2019s never good, but I tell you what, I can\u2019t tell you how mad I am. I mean, look, stupidity offends me anyway. Abject, utter ignorance and stupidity when there\u2019s no reason for it, offend me. When the truth has been out there simply by turning on the radio or reading one Web page now and then, the truth has been easy to find. And when these dummkopfs come along and reject it because of their own closed-minded political bigotry, I\u2019m sorry, I have no sympathy for \u2019em, but I\u2019ve got a lot of anger \u2019cause they\u2019ve all joined together in their blessed ignorance and screwed all of us. And now they have the temerity to start whining and crying about, “I didn\u2019t know.” Your problem. You were told. You just chose not to listen to it. Stupid, idiot, glittering jewel of colossal ignorance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
