You know what he said?  &#8220;We\u2019re still in recovery here.&#8221;  Really?  Really, we\u2019re still in recovery?  Do you know what else?  Today, ladies and gentlemen, Obama has issued a proclamation declaring today to be &#8220;America Recycles Day.&#8221;  So he starts the day by declaring it America Recycles, and Diane Sawyer\u2019s having orgasms over this.  &#8220;Reeecycling!  Reeeecycling!&#8221;  They recycled after the tsunami in Japan.  So Obama starts the day off by proclaiming it to be &#8220;America Recycles Day,&#8221; and now he\u2019s in New York surveying the damage where the streets are piled with mountains of recycled trash because New York City\u2019s recycling center is still closed due to Hurricane Sandy. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_69640\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaSupermanILoveNY.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>There he is in Staten Island right now. &#8220;There\u2019s gonna be some long-term rebuilding that\u2019s required,&#8221; Obama says.  Did they need him to show up from Washington to know that, in Staten Island?  And there he is, he\u2019s got a teleprompter, and he\u2019s looking out above the audience, surveying the world, looking up to the heavens as he speaks, back now to the first-term Obama.  So it\u2019s &#8220;America Recycles Day&#8221; as he stands amidst piles of trash still accumulating because the city\u2019s recycling center is still closed due to Hurricane Sandy. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>I want to give you an example here, folks, of just get used to this.  There is nothing you can do about it.  It\u2019s going to happen until events, not words, not policy, until events take over and the second term jinx takes place, just get used to this. <\/p>\n<p>So Obama proclaims it a national recycling day, gets Air Force One, goes to New York, and what\u2019s the purpose?  To claim credit for fixing what happened in the aftermath of the hurricane.  Today is Obama going to New York and accepting accolades for the recovery.  And here\u2019s how it works.  First off is the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_69629\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CuomoObama-2-BACK.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CUOMO:  Mr. President, thank you to you, because you have exemplified the spirit of partnership and the spirit of community.  I was personally amazed and touched by your phone calls and attention. Even during times that were very, very busy, you were there for us.  You were there for New York, and we thank you, Mr. President. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I just told Snerdley this was coming up, &#8220;What about people starving?&#8221; No, there aren\u2019t any people starving, and there is no shortage of gasoline anymore, and there aren\u2019t any lines for gasoline. Everybody\u2019s back in their homes, everybody has power.  Well, they do.  I mean, it\u2019s over.  Obama fixed it, and it\u2019s officially over because, as far as the media\u2019s concerned, as far as people that don\u2019t live in New York, it\u2019s over, and Obama fixed it.  Here\u2019s Andrew Cuomo: Thank you for saving New York.  That\u2019s what he means, thank you for saving New York.  So it\u2019s fixed.  As far as people who don\u2019t live in New York are concerned, Obama did it.  Even in the middle of that campaign, when he clearly had things much more important to him, he took time out to call and call and call Governor Cuomo.  And Governor Cuomo was amazed, personally amazed and touched by all the attention.  So President Obama has saved New York.  And it was Obama\u2019s turn to speak, and, of course, he accepted the accolades and then told everybody what it all really means.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  During difficult times like this, we\u2019re reminded that we\u2019re bound together and we have to look out for each other, and a lot of the things that seem important, the petty differences melt away, and we focus on what binds us together and that we, as Americans, are gonna stand with each other in their hour of need.  We are gonna make sure that we stay here as long as people need that immediate help.  That\u2019s FEMA\u2019s primary task.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  He\u2019s not staying.  And FEMA\u2019s office was closed because of weather.  But it doesn\u2019t matter \u2019cause it\u2019s all fixed.  The exact opposite of reality is what\u2019s true.  It\u2019s fixed and this, by the way, is a paean to <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14017\">Christie.<\/a>  See, this is what happens when a Republican totally prostitutes himself.  See how easy things happen?  See how well we get along?  We work together, that\u2019s the spirit of America.  Republicans forgetting who they are.  So it\u2019s fixed.  It\u2019s done.  FEMA\u2019s there to clean up any straggling stuff, but, for the most part, we move on now to the next miracle, for which Obama will be dutifully thanked. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I feel so bad, ladies and gentlemen, for the Official Program Observer, Mr. Snerdley.  He\u2019s literally shouting at me through my IFB, &#8220;What about the people that don\u2019t have any power in New York and they\u2019re dumping it off on the power company and they\u2019re not telling anybody that the state owns the power?&#8221;  Snerdley, you\u2019re missing the point.  There isn\u2019t anybody without power.  That\u2019s whole point.  Obama saved New York.  As far as viewers outside the tri-state area, everybody\u2019s got power.  And Brian said, &#8220;Well, what about all those houses on the south Jersey shore?&#8221;  They\u2019ve been fixed. You\u2019re not seeing it on TV.  They\u2019ve been fixed.  &#8220;Well, how come they\u2019re not showing us the damage?&#8221;  &#8216;Cause it\u2019s been fixed.
