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

RUSH: There\u2019s a Rasmussen Reports story on survey results: “Americans overwhelmingly believe that it\u2019s not only fair for entrepreneurs to get rich, it\u2019s good for the economy.” Now, you see something like this, and you swear you\u2019re living in an alternative universe. How can this be? How can this be with Barack Obama continuing to gain approval for his policies, to be untied to the fate of the country? Americans overwhelmingly believe that it\u2019s not only fair for entrepreneurs to get rich, it\u2019s good for the economy.<\/p>\n

“A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 86% of Likely US Voters believe it is fair for those who build very successful companies to get very rich. Only 10% see it as unfair. Those figures include 56% who see such rewards as Very Fair and two percent (2%) who say they\u2019re Not at All Fair.” It was over a thousand people that were surveyed, a thousand likely voters. Now, we have polls that show dissatisfaction with the country\u2019s direction but support for Obama\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n

A giant, total disconnect.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The people of this country — and let\u2019s leave it as low-information voters. They happen to be a majority of people voting. A majority of low-information voters do not associate what\u2019s happening in the country with Obama policies at all. They don\u2019t associate Obama as having any relationship whatsoever to what\u2019s happening in the country. I\u2019m sorry. I wish I could have figured this out in February of 2009. I really do.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you how embarrassed I feel. (interruption) Well, I know it doesn\u2019t makes sense but still it\u2019s been out there to be seen. It has been discoverable. It was learnable, and I missed it. We\u2019ve been beating our heads up against the wall trying to understand why it is that people do not associate the decline in the country with the president of the United States, when every president heretofore has either gotten the blame or the credit when the economy goes down or up.<\/p>\n

Every president has. Now, in the case of George W. Bush, they finagled a way to get him out of credit for a good economy that they reported as being bad. They convinced the American people we were in a recession long before we were. They convinced the American people that millions of soldiers were dying in Iraq. But the key to understanding this is that Barack Obama never governs. He\u2019s never does it.<\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t allow himself to be seen as governing. Yeah, he\u2019s been elected, but he\u2019s not governing. This explains the never-ending, perpetual campaign. Obama is constantly running against what\u2019s wrong. There are forces, powerful forces arrayed against Obama and you, and he\u2019s representing you, and he\u2019s trying to stop these forces, and he\u2019s trying to expose these people. And he\u2019s trying to overcome the dastardly things that they are doing — and who are “they”? They are the rich!<\/p>\n

They\u2019re the people who cornered the market on everything. The rich and the people who\u2019ve managed to commandeer everything for them and left but mere crumbs for everybody else. Obama is trying to get it all back for you — and not only get it back for you, it was yours to start with. Somewhere along the line it was all yours, and over the years, these mysterious, powerful forces ended up finding a way to take it away from you.<\/p>\n

Barack Obama is not linked to the direction of the country at all. He has no relationship to it. His policies, his agenda, are not seen as having anything to do with the direction the country\u2019s going. It\u2019s a profound marvel here. This is an amazing political feat that has been accomplished. Into the fifth year of running the country, and still he\u2019s seen… It\u2019s not as an outsider. It goes deeper than that. It\u2019s not that he\u2019s seen as an outsider. He\u2019s seen as a crusader.<\/line><\/p>\n

He\u2019s seen as somebody who understands exactly what it is that\u2019s causing you all your problems and strife, and he\u2019s trying to expose it and fix it. It\u2019s like Hugo Chavez. I mentioned in the last half hour that throughout history, dictators have never been blamed for the bad things happening in their countries. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro? These people were all running the revolution. They were all running against whatever was happening that was making life miserable for people.<\/p>\n

The revolution in Cuba, for crying out loud, is still going on! They still speak of ” La Revolucion.” Castro is still seen and idolized, envied. He is respected by the people of Cuba — now, the majority; not all, of course, but a majority still do — as a great savior, working against powerful enemies. That\u2019s why Castro, for example, never wants the US embargo to end. “The blockade,” he calls it. That\u2019s why! The US is the evil force that\u2019s preventing Cuba from becoming all it could be, and that embargo is part and parcel of it.<\/p>\n

It makes no common sense whatsoever, and you\u2019ll go absolutely insane trying to analyze this with common sense. This is how you understand massive support for Obama\u2019s agenda and total dissatisfaction with the country\u2019s direction. The only way those two things can co-exist at the same time, intellectually, is if Obama\u2019s agenda is not seen as having one shred of relationship to what\u2019s happening in the country.<\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s agenda is seen as the fix, the attempted fix. Obama\u2019s agenda is seen as a valiant effort to fix the unemployment situation, to fix the housing problem, to fix the fact that the world hates us, to fix our foreign policy problems, to fix the health care problem and the immigration problem. None of what Obama does is seen as a cause. Not only that, it\u2019s not even seen as relating. So you have a story where 60% believe letting entrepreneurs get rich is good for the economy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not only fair for entrepreneurs to get rich, it\u2019s good for the economy.<\/p>\n

Yet Obama can, in his State of the Union speech, basically come out and blame those people for the problems that we face and not be seen as an obstacle to creating wealth, not be seen as an obstacle to entrepreneurism. He can come out and basically say he is opposed to entrepreneurism, but actually he doesn\u2019t. He opened his speech last night by talking about the one thing that we\u2019ve always all agreed to is if you work hard and you play by the rules, you get ahead.<\/p>\n

Everybody playing on a fair field and a fair shot and so forth. That is the exact opposite of what is happening, but it sounds good. So that\u2019s what Obama is trying for. Right now the deck is stacked against everybody. The rich have all the marbles. The 1% have all the marbles. It\u2019s profound thing. Yet if you look at just the one half of this, dissatisfaction with the country\u2019s direction, you say, “Okay, well, there\u2019s potential. There is at least potential to open people\u2019s eyes.”<\/p>\n

There\u2019s another factor here, too, folks, and you can\u2019t take this factor out of the equation. That\u2019s Obama\u2019s race and the historical nature of his presidency. He\u2019s the first black president. A lot of people voted for Obama in 2008 because that vote did a number of things, individually. That vote made those people feel good about themselves. Those people, when they voted for Obama, said, “I am not a racist, and nobody can ever say I am!”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s number one. Number two: That vote was gonna fix the race problem. It was gonna erase slavery. It was gonna eliminate all the horrible things in this nation\u2019s past. Finally we were going to, as a nation, speak up and say in one voice, “We are no longer racist! We are no longer a slave state.” Then, the blank canvas aspect of Obama. He stood for anything you wanted him be. Those people are not going to admit that they made a mistake.<\/p>\n

Those people are not gonna admit that their vote was cast erroneously. So all those things add up. To me, this is important. I\u2019m harping on it because, of course, the objective here is to have an informed public. The whole point of this program has been, the operating theory of the program has been that an informed public voting every four years or every two years, will bring about the best possible governance and the best possible culture\/society that the country can have.<\/p>\n

But they must be an informed voting public, winning in the arena of ideas. This is not about ideas. By the way, this explains Clinton, too. Clinton was a perpetual campaign. Only on rare occasions — same thing for Obama — did Clinton actually want to be perceived as governing, as in charge with something like welfare reform. He wanted credit for that. So for the two or three days that that mattered, he was president. He wasn\u2019t campaigning, he was governing. Obama does that when he signs various bills. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For example, the State of the Union speech last night, and for the rest of this week, he\u2019s on the campaign trail. What\u2019s he doing? He\u2019s running against the powerful forces trying to stop him from fixing these problems. He\u2019s not governing. And that\u2019s how he is able to create and maintain the illusion that he has no relationship whatsoever to what actually happens. Unemployment — nothing to do with him, even after five years. National debt, deficit — nothing to do with him. Budget cuts that might be harmful, there are no such things, by the way, nothing to do with him. And, Mike, if you would bear with me, play it one more time. It\u2019s the audio sound bite number 30. This is from the Frank Luntz focus group from Hannity last night. As you listen to this, every one of these people voted for Mitt Romney. <\/p>\n

LUNTZ: From the Romney people, what did you like about Barack Obama\u2019s State of the Union Address? A couple of you…<\/p>\n

WOMAN: I liked his immigration that he talked about putting people at the back of the line and so that they didn\u2019t get preferential treatment just because they were here.<\/p>\n

MAN: I think education, the reform he was talking about — affordability and making it efficient — I think that\u2019s gonna… Education all starts from education, really. (sic)<\/p>\n

LUNTZ: One more…<\/p>\n

WOMAN: I like how he spoke of bipartisanship and working with Congress and moving the country forward by working together.<\/p>\n

LUNTZ: Does he mean it?<\/p>\n

WOMAN: I believe he means it.<\/p>\n

LUNTZ: How many of you believe he means it, that he\u2019s gonna be more bipartisan this term than he was before?<\/p>\n

WOMAN: He means it!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. So immigration, “I like what Obama\u2019s proposing. He\u2019s making people go to the back of the line.” He actually isn\u2019t, but he said that last night, so that\u2019s what people heard, they believe him. When he lies, they believe him. His immigration plan is not gonna make any of these illegals go to the back of the line. They\u2019re gonna be at the front of the line and they\u2019re gonna get citizenship right off the bat. It doesn\u2019t do me any good to say it. Those people are not gonna believe me. They\u2019re gonna believe him. <\/p>\n

Education? Why, we love what he\u2019s doing with education. Education is it, that\u2019s everything for our kids. Of course Obama wants to fix it. Bipartisanship. We want everybody to work together. We want everybody to get along. The most partisan president ever, the most divisive, he\u2019s not seen that way. No, no, don\u2019t say that, nobody\u2019s gonna believe that. He\u2019s not. He wants everybody to get along. These are Romney voters. You heard \u2019em. That\u2019s their take from last night. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, this explains why Obama walked away from the grand bargain last August on the expansion, the raising of the debt limit. John Boehner, remember how mad we were, we were going into the end of the campaign, whenever it was, and Boehner gave Obama everything he wanted, and then Obama changed the rules of the game and asked for another $500 billion or trillion dollars in tax increases. When Boehner finally caved on revenue, when Boehner said, “Okay, we\u2019ll agree to raise taxes.” Then Obama came and asked for more and Boehner finally said, “That\u2019s it pal, we\u2019re outta here.” Obama didn\u2019t want the grand bargain. He didn\u2019t want any kind of a deal, even though Boehner gave him everything he wanted. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Washington Post couldn\u2019t understand it at the time. I\u2019ll never forget this. A grand bargain means there\u2019s an agreement. Obama doesn\u2019t want to agree. It\u2019s better for Obama to be seen as continuing to fight these powerful forces. Look, if the country\u2019s going to hell in a handbasket and you want it to and you\u2019re the architect, it\u2019s a brilliant maneuver to make sure that other people are seen as responsible for it. Now, folks, this could not happen without a totally compliant media. It\u2019s not just you need a charismatic figure. Sure, this is obviously true. You need a profoundly charismatic leader, but you have to have a complicit media. If you don\u2019t have the media on your side, you\u2019ll never get away with always blaming somebody else, the wreckers. <\/p>\n

If Obama didn\u2019t have the media following his lead on this, he couldn\u2019t get away with any of this. So don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m not saying the media have no role here. They are willing and activist participants in this. But the grand bargain, Obama being offered everything he wanted and turning it down after making a demand that was impossible to be met, means that Obama wants no responsibility. He doesn\u2019t want to be perceived as responsible. He is shirking all responsibility by refusing to govern, by refusing to compromise, by refusing to take “yes” for an answer. The moment Obama agrees — this is why, my instincts, there\u2019s no common ground. There isn\u2019t any way there can be bipartisanship in terms of ideological ideas, or ideological factoids or characteristics. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s no common ground between what Obama wants and what the Republicans want. There is no way to have bipartisan compromise, but beyond that, it\u2019s the last thing Obama wants. He doesn\u2019t want there to be a real budget, for example. It\u2019s the same tactic. With no real budget, you can\u2019t tie Obama to anything that happens in the budget. With no budget deal, you can\u2019t tie Obama to it. But you can continue to portray the Republicans as the enemy. Look at the sequester. The sequester is his idea. <\/p>\n

His entire existence today and last night and last week and next week is to run against it. And look what the sequester is going to do. It\u2019s gonna take food out of the mouths of babies. It\u2019s the same tactic. His agenda, his policies, have no relationship to what happens. He\u2019s constantly fighting the evil forces, and therefore he can never agree with \u2019em. He can never strike a deal with these evil forces because then he would share responsibility for what happens. And after eight years, he is gonna end up being held responsible for nothing that happens in this country. That\u2019s the objective.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, folks, this theory of mine explains so much. Everything that I have explained has a focal point, and it is this: It keeps Obama from being blamed for what is happening to the country, which is what he wants to happen. As you and I all know, he is devastating this country. He is tearing down the traditions and institutions that made the country great — and all the while, he is seen as fighting it.<\/p>\n

All the while he is seen by most people as trying to stop it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He is seen by most people as doing everything he can to save this country. But there are powerful forces out there that are working hard, and they\u2019ve gotten away with it ever since the days of the founding. Benghazi! Benghazi is a microcosm of this whole approach. It explains why Obama refused to get involved. He never wants to get involved when there\u2019s the slightest chance that he could be held responsible.<\/p>\n

Therefore it\u2019s the video. Therefore it\u2019s Susan Rice. Therefore it\u2019s Hillary. Therefore it\u2019s anybody. So at the end of the day, it\u2019s always Obama who\u2019s seen as the great crusader. He\u2019s trying to get to the bottom of things and fix them and make sure it doesn\u2019t happen again. Nothing that happens has any relationship to the fact that he is the leader of the country. It has no relationship whatsoever to the fact that he is the president.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s why he\u2019s always voted “present” throughout of his political career. This is what agitators do. It\u2019s what community organizers do. They rile people up, and then they step aside while the chaos happens, and then they pretend that they had nothing to do with it while they come in and try to calm everybody down and fix it. They then get everybody working together and make sure that we invest properly in education and make sure that we don\u2019t let the sea levels rise too much.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve gotta tackle global warming, and make sure those health insurance companies don\u2019t get away with raping people like they always have!” This explains why Obama let Pelosi write Obamacare. It\u2019s why Obama never went out and actually sold it. Do you remember the way the mainstream media, early on, would always complain about how Obama would never really go sell his policies? (interruption) Now, he is? He\u2019s not selling policies now.<\/p>\n

What he\u2019s doing is he gives his State of the Union thing and then runs out and he\u2019s back on the campaign trail. He\u2019s not trying to sell policies. The purpose of these next three days is to explain what he said in the State of the Union speech and to continue this fairytale that there are powerful forces that are arrayed and aligned against you and everybody else in this country, and he\u2019s doing his best to protect you and make sure that the playing field is level and you get a fair shot.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to get back to the audio sound bites. We\u2019re gonna go to the Charlie Rose Show last night on PBS, because this gets to the whole point once again confirming my theorem that there is no common ground that would facilitate bipartisanship. There\u2019s no area where the Republicans and Obama agree. There really isn\u2019t. So this mythical desire for bipartisanship is just that, it\u2019s a pipe dream. They were talking about this, Charlie Rose with Mark Halperin, TIME Magazine, last night. Charlie Rose said, “Has he made a decision that he can\u2019t deal with the Republicans, he can\u2019t bring \u2019em on board, so he\u2019s just gonna confront them?”<\/p>\n

HALPERIN: There is a school of thought that people whisper about here in this city, which is, he\u2019s gonna spend two years trying to draw lines just like he did in the reelect and hope that the last two years of this last term he gets back control of the House, keeps control of the Senate, and finds a way to deal with some of these longer term issues back in a partisan way rather than a bipartisan. They\u2019re just too fundamentally at odds about how you get new revenue, the balance between taxes and tax reform and spending cuts and where those should come from. I think, as I said before, they\u2019re farther apart on specifics and ideology than they\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, farther apart than ever. These guys are late arrivals to the obvious. There is no common ground. There hasn\u2019t been any common ground since January 2009, folks. By design there hasn\u2019t been any common ground. That\u2019s the point. There isn\u2019t any common ground. Obama cannot ever be seen to agree or compromise with the Republicans, unless it is seen as a total capitulation by the Republicans. If the Republicans are willing to cave, then they\u2019ll call that bipartisanship, gladly and happily. But Obama\u2019s not gonna compromise, not gonna give up one iota of anything in order to strike a deal on anything. <\/p>\n

This exactly what I\u2019ve been saying. And so what Halperin\u2019s saying here, the whole point of this is to spend the next two years campaigning for the 2014 midterms. That\u2019s what this current campaign is. It\u2019s already started. It\u2019s to make sure, or to try to make sure that the Democrats win the House and then there\u2019s not any need for compromise, there\u2019s no need for bipartisanship, because then Obama and the Democrats can\u2019t be stopped. If the Democrats retake the House in 2014, there\u2019s no way the Republicans could stop them, and so there wouldn\u2019t be any need for bipartisanship. And at that point they stop talking about it and just start talking about finally the American people have spoken, finally the American people have gotten what they want, one-party rule. <\/p>\n

And at that point, Obama will still not be seen as governing. At that point Obama will be seen as finally victorious in wresting power, taking power from these mysterious forces that are constantly trying to harm you. So that\u2019s what this perpetual campaign is about. It\u2019s why there won\u2019t be any common ground, there won\u2019t be any agreement, Obama is not gonna let anything happen that would permit, require, or have people see him as being responsible for anything. Doris Kearns Goodwin was on the same show, Charlie Rose, and she weighs in, and she says that the 2014 election is the whole ball game now. It\u2019s what all this is about.<\/p>\n

KEARNS: The long-term hope here, in a certain sense, on the part of the president is that even though history will say you can\u2019t get anything done in those last two years, you\u2019re gonna lose in the midterms, that maybe he just can keep that election base going, keep that campaign strategy alive and maybe have a chance to take back the House. And I think it\u2019s worth that. Meanwhile, you\u2019ve educated the country, at the very least, in terms of what\u2019s necessary for climate change, for gun control, for immigration reform, but if you should win and if you should possibly take back the House — look, the Tea Party took it over because they mobilized from the outside in, so it\u2019s not impossible to imagine, and then you get everything. Then you get the whole ball game.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, there it is, folks, but the key is you have to be perceived as doing it from the outside. So Obama is the president. He can\u2019t be perceived as an insider. He can\u2019t be perceived as governing. He\u2019s constantly at war with powerful forces unseen who are resisting fixing the climate, resisting fixing immigration, resisting fixing the problems with gun violence. These are mean, powerful people, whoever they are. And they don\u2019t want an end to gun violence, and they don\u2019t care about the climate is warming, because they want to continue to use oil to fly their airplanes and drive their big cars and cool their houses. And they clearly don\u2019t care about immigration reform because they\u2019re racists. And this is what Obama\u2019s fighting. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve about gotten you convinced myself, haven\u2019t I? What a great, valiant warrior he is. It really isn\u2019t that hard. So 2014 comes and they finally win the House, and then the last two years are not irrelevant. The last two years are when you close the deal, you transform the country for good, and you throw away the key. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you heard Doris Kearns Goodwin in the sound bite, she says, “And you\u2019ve educated the country,” meaning you\u2019ve shown \u2019em how you\u2019re fighting the wicked on climate change, same-sex marriage, gun control, amnesty. You\u2019re willing to show the educated and you\u2019re ready for the 2014 midterms, where it\u2019s finally time to take the country back from all of these evil people. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
