RUSH: Obama just said — he\u2019s at a campaign rally. I don\u2019t know where. He\u2019s doing a swing state blitz. And he just said — now, keep in mind, now, Barack Obama is wrapping up his fourth year in office. And he said, (Obama impression) “We tried it their way. We tried it their way. And their way doesn\u2019t work. They created fewer jobs than us.” <\/p>\n

The president of the United States, this is as blatant a lie and a misstatement of fact as you can make. What he told these dingbat supporters of his is that he has created more jobs in these four years than occurred during the eight years of Bush. “We tried it their way.” That means Bush. “We tried it their way, and they created fewer jobs than us.” That\u2019s not even grammatically correct. I didn\u2019t have the sound up. I don\u2019t know the reaction he got, but that\u2019s just a blatant, blatant lie. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s that sound bite of Obama. This is what I saw during the commercial break. I was reading the closed-captioning. He didn\u2019t say, as I thought, that they created fewer jobs than us. He said the deficit went up. See, the captioning had it wrong, and that\u2019s all I had to go on. Here\u2019s what he said. This is just delusional. This is our president, folks, entirely totally completely delusional. He\u2019s not there. The elevator is not going to the top floor today. Listen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OBAMA: We tried our ideas. They worked. The economy grew. We created jobs. Deficits went down. We tried their ideas. They didn\u2019t work. The economy didn\u2019t grow, not as many jobs, and the deficit went up. But here\u2019s the thing. Governor Romney\u2019s a very talented salesman, and in this campaign he\u2019s tried as hard as he can to repackage the same old bad ideas and make \u2019em out to be new ideas and try to convince you that he\u2019s all about change. Listen, we know what change looks like, Madison. <\/p>\n

CROWD: (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, this is another thing. When you listen to Romney speak at one of his rallies, it\u2019s wholesome, it\u2019s uplifting. He recites what Obama\u2019s saying but he does so in a respectful way. He\u2019s not nitpicking and he\u2019s not snarky. Romney is looking and acting already presidential. Obama is just small and just snarky and tiny, even. But, folks, this is literally delusional. This is worthy of men in the white coats. “We tried our ideas. They worked. The economy grew. We created jobs. Deficits went down.” That\u2019s delusional. The economy has not grown. We are losing jobs left and right. The labor force participation — you know all of this. <\/p>\n

Deficits went down? You know, not even his supporters believe this. His supporters know the truth. It\u2019s just that they think Obama\u2019s about fairness. Obama\u2019s about taking away from everybody and giving to them, but they know that the deficit\u2019s going up, they know the national debt\u2019s going up. They just don\u2019t care. But Obama is coming out, I don\u2019t know how else to describe this. Which Obama idea has worked? Stimulus? Obamacare? Green energy? Arab Spring? Name one. What Obama idea has worked? What deficit, any deficit, has come down? <\/p>\n

The national debt has had almost $6 trillion added to it. That\u2019s done by way of a deficit every year that is over a trillion dollars. We never had trillion-dollar annual deficits until Obama. One of Bush\u2019s last deficits was a mere $257 billion. This deeply concerns me. I know politicians lie, and I know they want to put a good spin on everything. But this, folks, I\u2019m tongue-tied. This is not just political lying. This isn\u2019t trying to pull wool over people\u2019s face. Nobody in this country thinks right now the economy\u2019s working. That\u2019s not why Obama\u2019s supporters support him. It\u2019s not because his ideas are working. They support him, A, because he\u2019s a Democrat. B, because he\u2019s a liberal. C, because they hate conservatives. D, because they hate Republicans. E, because they think everybody else owes them the something. But they don\u2019t, they don\u2019t support Obama because they think his stuff is working. <\/p>\n

I mean, that\u2019s a hell of a thing to try on your own people. Am I making too big a deal out of this? Cash for clunkers? Did that work? Cash for caulkers? Did that work? Shovel-ready jobs? Did that work? Jobs council? Did that work? Deficit reduction committee, commission, did that work? We don\u2019t know; he didn\u2019t try it. There isn\u2019t a single Obama idea that has worked. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(interruption)<\/p>\n

What? Oh, that\u2019s right. He killed bin Laden <\/a>and saved General Motors. Right. Right, right, right. Right. Anyway, there is something really, really wrong here, folks. This is the final day of campaigning. This is your big swing state blitz. This is where you go out and make the best case for yourself that you can. After four years of Obama\u2019s presidency he is campaigning as though it never happened. I wonder if he knows what he\u2019s saying. It\u2019s on the prompter. I wonder if he really knows what he\u2019s saying. I wonder if he believes what he\u2019s saying. <\/p>\n

He went down to the Univision show, and I tell you, that did not go well, as we chronicled at the time. The immigration idea, did that work? Fast and Furious, did that work? Did his national security plan in Benghazi<\/a> work? He\u2019s being heckled out there. They\u2019re dragging his hecklers off in handcuffs. There are hecklers at Obama\u2019s campaign appearances. Play the first half of this again. Grab 34 again. I want you to hear this. When he starts talking about Governor Romney, you can go out of it and hit the brake, but I just want to hear this one more time. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: We tried our ideas. They worked. The economy grew. We created jobs. Deficits went down. We tried their ideas. They didn\u2019t work. The economy didn\u2019t grow, not as many jobs, and the deficit went up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
