I know that the Obama folks are chanting, &#8220;Four more years! Four more years!&#8221;  But our chant is this:  &#8220;Five more days.&#8221;  &#8220;Five more days&#8221; is our chant.  (cheers and applause) (crowd chanting &#8220;Five more days!&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  When Romney finished, Obama landed at Green Bay, and he gave his speech.  I got the sound bites from it.  There wasn\u2019t anywhere near this crowd energy.  Nowhere near it.  Now, that\u2019s what we call anecdotal.  It\u2019s not scientific.  Therefore it doesn\u2019t mean anything.  It would be like me trying to tell you that my brother called me last night and said his neighbor said X and so therefore that means Romney\u2019s gonna &#8212; you can\u2019t do that.  But I\u2019m just saying, the energy at Obama\u2019s appearance was nothing like this.  I really like this next bite.<\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY:  I know the president\u2019s been trying to figure out some way to suggest he\u2019s got some new ideas because with all these people out of work, with three million more women in poverty today than when he took office, with 15 more million people on food stamps than when he took office, he\u2019s got to find something to suggest it\u2019s gonna be better over the next four years.  And so he came up with an idea last week, which is he\u2019s gonna create the <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14122\">Department of Business.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (Laughter)<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/embed.js?id=1939170672001&amp;w=585&amp;h=300\"><\/script><noscript>Watch the latest video at <a href=\"http:\/\/video.foxnews.com\">video.foxnews.com<\/a><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY:  I don\u2019t think adding a new chair in his cabinet will help add millions of jobs on Main Street.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  But you know something else about that?  Stop and think.  Here is a guy in New Jersey who says the fastest way to solve the problem is to get government out of everybody\u2019s life.  Government waivers, get rid of the bureaucracy, get rid of all the stuff in government that blocks you.  What\u2019s he want to do?  A secretary of business?  We are supposed to have a president who understands business.  We don\u2019t need a secretary of business.  Only somebody like an Obama who doesn\u2019t understand it, doesn\u2019t care to, doesn\u2019t like it, even.  I mean, that\u2019s embarrassing.  A secretary of business?  It\u2019s like job training centers.  Yeah, they\u2019re called high schools.  What in the world do we need job training centers for?  They\u2019re called colleges.  Secretary of business?  And we got time to squeeze one more Romney sound bite in.<\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY:  Unfortunately, what you\u2019re seeing before your very eyes is a campaign that keeps on shrinking and shrinking and shrinking to smaller things.  I mean, he\u2019s been out talking about how he\u2019s gonna save Big Bird &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (Laughter)<\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY: &#8212; and then playing silly word games with my last name, or first, and then attacking me day in and day out.  Attacking me doesn\u2019t make an agenda, doesn\u2019t get people back to work. <\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (cheers and applause) <\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  We don\u2019t need a secretary of business to understand business.  We need a president who understands business, and I do.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD:  (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right on, right on, all right.  Right on, right on, right on.  Exactly right.  Folks, I\u2019m just gonna tell you, another observation, and it\u2019s worth what it\u2019s costing you here, which is free, it\u2019s nothing.  It\u2019s actually worth more than that.  You listen to these two, Romney just has an air of invincibility here.  You listen to Romney, it sounds like he knows how this is gonna turn out.  You listen to Obama, you don\u2019t get that sense from him.  You get a defensive posture.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I got one more Romney here and then I\u2019ve got sound bites of <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14102\">Chris Christie<\/a> with Obama. I\u2019m not gonna play \u2019em. I don\u2019t know why&#8230; (interruption) No, just: Why give the guy a plug? (interruption) What, do you want to hear them? You want to stir the crap is all you want to do. Here\u2019s one more Romney in Roanoke, Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>This wraps up the sound bites that we have from the speech this morning that I thought was upbeat. The aura about the speech was one of confidence. I got the impression he really thinks he\u2019s gonna win, and I don\u2019t get that impression when I listen to Obama. That\u2019s just me, and I\u2019m not trying to predict the outcome of anything. That\u2019s just me sharing with you my thoughts of the moment.<\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY: This isn\u2019t a time for small measures. This is a time for greatness. This is a time for big change, for real change. And that\u2019s why, just as your next senator said, this is a time where from day one he\u2019s gonna make changes. I\u2019m gonna make real changes. I\u00c2\u2019m going to get this economy going. From day one, we\u2019re making changes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So that was Romney in Roanoke today where a Roanoke poll, in fact, has him up five in the state of Virginia. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s the first Romney sound bite in Roanoke, Virginia.
