RUSH: Somebody just told me Romney\u2019s canceled a campaign event in Wisconsin because of the hurricane, but he\u2019s in Cleveland right now. He\u2019s in Ohio at a campaign event right now. Obama\u2019s canceled Wisconsin. Obama canceled Florida. In fact, Obama flew to Florida last night. This is the weirdest thing. <\/p>\n

We were told this morning that a number of EIB affiliate radio stations along the East Coast up in the target area for the hurricane and the nor\u2019easter, these two things that are gonna interact and create weather Armageddon, a number of affiliates are going all local, and obviously some listeners to those stations might not know. If you have friends who are in that area and would like to listen to the program but can\u2019t, you can always direct \u2019em to Rush 24\/7, RushLimbaugh.com<\/a>, streaming opportunities and so forth. We\u2019re gonna be talking about all of this as the day unfolds and as the week unfolds, including talking to you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, Obama canceled an event in Orlando today. Bill Clinton is sitting in for him, or standing in. But Obama flew down to Florida last night for this campaign event. Now, everybody knew yesterday what they know today about the hurricane. If you\u2019re gonna go down to Florida and cancel your appearance and come back, why go? It leads me to believe that somebody, some handler said, “Look, Barack, you gotta get back to Washington.” So he canceled his Florida appearance. He also canceled Wisconsin. He also canceled Wisconsin before the Scott Walker recall vote, and some people trying to read some things into that. But this morning the regime has announced they\u2019re canceling the Orlando event, Clinton\u2019s sitting in, and Obama\u2019s back in Washington. <\/p>\n

I was watching CNN when Obama landed back in Washington. It was funny. The motorcade leaving Air Force One on the highway heading back into town or over to where the helicopter is (maybe not using the copter, gotta drive \u2019cause of the weather) and CNN: “Okay, everything\u2019s calm now, everything\u2019s okay. We can all relax, Obama\u2019s back. Barack\u2019s in the White House monitoring everything. It\u2019s okay. Everything\u2019s cool.” I also was watching TV this morning, and I saw some things, I mean, I believe it, but I actually don\u2019t believe it at the same time. We all know what the forecasters are saying about this storm, and we all know what the local officials are saying about it, and it is being portrayed as Armageddon. The stock market is closed through Wednesday. New York schools are closed. They\u2019re worried about the New York subway system flooding. <\/p>\n

I saw a Photoshop of scuba divers in the New York subway system<\/a>. The warnings about power failures that will happen, and it\u2019s gonna last for days, and there\u2019s nothing you can do about it. I kid you not. A guy in Florida was sending an e-mail to a buddy of his in New Jersey warning, “Get out of there, get out now. Even if the storm doesn\u2019t hit, there are going to be riots for food and gasoline in the aftermath. Get out.” So these are the kind of expectations that have been set. This is literal Armageddon. We are having riots forecast by citizens to each other. The weather service is forecasting record destruction, and the power companies are falling right in line as are governors and mayors. So the expectations are such that this is the worst thing that might ever happen. Except it hasn\u2019t happened yet. And then after it happens, the worst thing that has happened.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, my official climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer, says this could be epic. You have what was already gonna be a nor\u2019easter anyway, without the hurricane showing up. The hurricane showing up, the warm subtropical air meeting with the nor\u2019easter, the cold air mass from Canada, that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna wreak the havoc, when these two systems collide. And that\u2019s when all of the predicted tumult and chaos and destruction is scheduled to take place. So I want to track down this story that Romney has canceled a trip to Wisconsin because of the hurricane. Wisconsin\u2019s not in the path, but Obama has canceled it, too. Obama\u2019s hunkered down in the White House. <\/p>\n

Folks, I literally was watching MSNBC this morning and CNN, and there were Obama campaign aides on these network shows actually discussing how this storm could help Obama if they played it right. Politicizing. Now, I\u2019m not surprised because these people politicize everything. The National Weather Service has been politicized. I\u2019ve never seen a warning like I saw last night from a New Jersey National Weather Service office. It\u2019s coming up in a second. Setting the table here, now. They were literally discussing how this could help Obama. It\u2019s a crisis that would allow Obama to look as though he\u2019s in command. Obama in charge of the federal Treasury. Obama could make sure gasoline and food and whatever needs to be moved someplace gets moved immediately. It was sick, folks. It was sick. <\/p>\n

There was also a Romney guy on with one of the Obamaites who said, “This thing is gonna affect everybody. It\u2019s not just Obama. What about the people who live in this area where this storm is gonna happen? Why is the focus on how can this help Obama?” And then alternately there were some Obamaites worrying about how it could hurt Obama. Well, I can tell you that. If you want to know how this whole thing could hurt Obama, I\u2019ll be glad to tell you. Very quickly. Here we are in the last week, everybody thinks the regime has something to dump on Romney, October Surprise or what have you. But even if they don\u2019t, the last week is when all the forces were gonna be marshaled and everything was gonna be moved to the front page. <\/p>\n

The lead story was gonna be Obama being reelected and Romney is not worth it. That\u2019s not the lead story now. In addition to that, the media executives and reporters who were going to lead the pro-Obama charge are themselves in harm\u2019s way. The storm is not about \u00c2\u201cthose other people.\u00c2\u201d It\u2019s about them! They\u2019re in the middle of it. Their homes are targeted. Their offices are in the way. Their lives could be disrupted. And therefore, that will become the big story, not Obama\u2019s reelection. And it simply takes what was to be the biiiig final push for The One off the top, the lead story or the front page.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how long this is gonna go on, but if they were hoping… Let\u2019s put it this way: If they were hoping that the media would establish major momentum for Obama with this week, Mother Nature has just interceded and said, \u00c2\u201cWhoa!\u00c2\u201d In other words, for you atheists… You know, I play golf, and there are golf gods, and you can do things that irritate the golf gods. And one of the things that you do to irritate the golf gods is to tell yourself you got the game figured out.<\/p>\n

The minute you tell yourself you got the game figured out, the golf gods make sure that you screw up the next two rounds. Well, the weather gods have interceded here. They have intervened in this campaign and in this effort. You\u2019ve got potential devastation and destruction in the media capitals of this country: Washington and New York. And the residents and the occupants of these media organizations in Washington and New York are the ones who are gonna be standing out in the street telling everybody else how bad it is.<\/p>\n

Not how bad Romney is.<\/p>\n

Not how dangerous Romney is.<\/p>\n

How dangerous the storm is.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And then when they have time they\u2019re gonna try to massage it and figure out a way they can make it look good for Obama. Which is juvenile, infantile, sad, and disappointing because this storm is going to affect everybody. And there isn\u2019t anything political about it until people try to make it political. And look at who is. (New Castrati impression) “Mr. Limbaugh, as I listen to your show it sure sounds to me like you\u2019re the one that\u2019s trying to politicize the storm!\u00c2\u201d<\/p>\n

No. No, no. I was minding my own business here, Mr. New Castrati. I was minding my own business doing show prep and I saw the TV today and I saw the Obamaites out there actually talking with smiles on their faces about how this storm — which is being portrayed as Armageddon — can help Obama. Are you people…? You\u2019re not all there. You people have become unhinged. And to think that people watching these cable networks who are in the path of this storm care whether it helps Obama?<\/p>\n

When they\u2019re being told their house might go, trees might fall on power lines, they will be without power two or three days, and the subway might flood? And you\u2019re concerned about whether or not this helps Obama? Keep talking. Keep talking. We\u2019ve got political news. I\u2019m wondering if we ought to just suspend political discussion today in honor of the storm. Well, Romney\u2019s not going to Wisconsin; Obama came off the campaign trail. That leaves me. What if I\u2019m the only guy out there campaigning. Is that fair? That\u2019s not fair to Obama. Is it?<\/p>\n

Actually it is. (chuckles) You know why? He deserves it! Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to grab a quick phone call. Alan in Sarasota, Florida. You happened to be discussing something I was gonna get to fairly quickly, so I thought I\u2019d get your call in and use you to transition to it. What\u2019s up, sir?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m very concerned that we all seem to want to cover the president and his Situation Room associated with Hurricane Sandy, but what planning, what preparation, what analysis did the president do prior to 9\/11? Why were not the issues raised by our ambassador addressed? There was not a photo op-ed that day. Every year I would imagine the president should be sitting down prior to 9\/11 and evaluating the risk to America, our home soil, our troops, our citizens —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, look, he\u2019s the most sophisticated consumer of intel in the world. He doesn\u2019t need meetings. They\u2019ve told us he\u2019s the most sophisticated consumer. Of course I get your point. Your point is right on the money, and even if there wasn\u2019t such a strategy session or monitoring prior to 9\/11, what happened after the Benghazi thing hit? Folks, I have a whole Stack on that today, too, as well as some of the sound bites from Jeanine Pirro\u2019s show<\/a> on Fox Saturday night. I\u2019m sorry to keep talking about it instead of getting to it all. I am going to get to it. I\u2019ve got some semblance of structure today that I want to try to get all this stuff in, in ways that it makes sense. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Even the media are tweeting each other about whether or not Obama should have left Florida and gone back to Washington. I kid you not. During the break, I was monitoring media tweets. Mark Halperin at TIME Magazine said, “Nobody\u2019s saying Obama shouldn\u2019ta gone back.” In other words, everybody agrees Obama shoulda left, even though it\u2019s a stark contrast, he didn\u2019t bother to go to the Situation Room or… well, actually we think he did. That\u2019s where this Benghazi thing gets even worse. Some of the stuff on Benghazi is gonna make you so mad. I don\u2019t care how mad you are now. It\u2019s gonna make you even angrier. <\/p>\n

But it\u2019s a great point that Alan makes in Sarasota, Florida. They\u2019re politicizing this. Obama\u2019s in the White House. What\u2019s he doing, by the way? TheHill.com says that the Romney campaign has donated its bus to deliver supplies to storm relief centers today. “Mitt Romney\u2019s campaign has sent its bus to collect and distribute donated supplies for those in the path of Hurricane Sandy.” Meanwhile, Obama is in the White House monitoring. That\u2019s right, he\u2019s monitoring. Obama is monitoring. He\u2019s monitoring in the White House. Monitoring the situation. He\u2019s got it all under control. He\u2019s in there monitoring things. But the Romney campaign sent its bus out. <\/p>\n

The media is scared to death, folks. These polls have them alarmed like they haven\u2019t been. They really bought this stuff. They bought their own drivel. They bought the stuff that they put in their own bubble. They really believed Obama was a lock. They didn\u2019t think anything could change it, including the debates. Their world is now upside down. They don\u2019t know what to make of anything that\u2019s happened. They are just stymied. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another Reuters story. “Hurricane Forces Obama to Balance Governing, Campaigning.” Aw! Aw, poor president! “President Barack Obama faced the delicate task on Sunday of balancing his response to a potentially huge natural disaster with his own tough re-election effort as Hurricane Sandy bore down on the US East Coast nine days before Election Day.” Really? Oh, so, so challenging! Whoa, it\u2019s just so hard. That\u2019s right, Reuters is telling us that Obama\u2019s been forced to balance governing and campaigning, which to them is a news story. They\u2019re very worried about this. That\u2019s all this means. They are terribly worried that all of this means that the big surge that they had planned for Obama this week and that Obama had planned has now been overwhelmed by the surge of Sandy. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: During the last half hour, the president spoke. They flew him back from Florida. He flew to Florida last night for a campaign appearance today. And then before the campaign appearance, they flew him back. Can I tell you what I think happened? I think Obama decided — and, look, we knew that the storm was coming yesterday. And we knew what was being said about it.<\/p>\n

We knew yesterday it was being predicted as catastrophic, perhaps more catastrophic than anything in recent memory. Yet Obama still flies to Florida. And then this morning, before his appearance, they hustle him aboard Air Force One. He flies back, and they announce Bill Clinton\u2019s gonna do his appearance for him. I\u2019m just wild-guessing here. What I think happened is Obama decided on his own (impression), \u00c2\u201cI\u2019m goin\u00c2\u2019 to Florida!<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u201cI\u2019m gonna go campaign. I\u2019ve been to Vegas. I\u2019ve been to Jay-Z\u00c2\u2019s. Uh, uh, Letterman. What the hell? I\u2019m going.\u00c2\u201d And somebody over on the staff said, \u00c2\u201cYou know what? We gotta get him back. If he\u00c2\u2019s in Florida when this storm hits, this is bad. We gotta get him back so he can act like he\u2019s president.\u00c2\u201d What else could it be? Why would you go in the first place? Somebody help me out. I would love to be wrong about this.<\/line><\/p>\n

Why go in the first place? You know everything yesterday that we know today about the storm. We know the predictions haven\u2019t changed. They\u2019ve gotten worse, in fact. Why go if you\u2019re not gonna campaign? So he went on his own and somebody on his staff said to come back. I\u2019m reading a Mark Halperin tweet, and the Halperin tweet says, “No one thinks the POTUS shouldn\u2019t go back to DC for the storm.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u201cThe issue previous times, Benghazi and others, when he didn\u2019t return and staff said it made no difference.\u00c2\u201d But it did. It did make a difference. It\u2019s why his approval\u2019s plummeting seven points in three days. So that\u2019s why they\u2019ve hustled him back. Staff said: \u00c2\u201cWe gotta make you get back to Washington so you can act like you\u2019re president. We gotta get some pictures of you in the Situation Room monitoring the storm like you were monitoring when we killed bin Laden, Mr. President.\u00c2\u201d<\/p>\n

So he did. They flew him back, and he has spoken. AP. I have it right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. AP, Breaking News!\u00c2\u201d Ready? Ready for it? \u00c2\u201cObama: \u00c2\u201cSlow-Moving Storm Will Affect Millions, Urges Americans to Heed Warnings.\u00c2\u201d (Gasp!) Wow. That we could not have done without. That… Oh, thank God. (interruption) Apparently not. Apparently he could not tell us this from Florida.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t have had the optics, Snerdley. The optics. It wouldn\u2019t have looked good on a stage at a campaign rally. (impression) “By the way, that storm up there that I flew out of? Ha! It\u2019s moving real slow and will affect million, uh, millions of people. Heed the warning. Except what Governor Christie says. He\u2019s fat and a fool. Don\u2019t listen to Governor Christie. He doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about. He makes fun of me all the time.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it. That\u2019s what the AP put out. Obama spoke to the nation! (crumbling up paper)<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: George in Martinez, California. Great to have you on the program, sir. Thank you for waiting.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I don\u00c2\u2019t normally watch CNN, but I was flipping back and forth last night during the World Series, and this morning for the hurricane coverage. And what did I hear? A so-called Republican supposedly (or so they said) saying that Obama made a wonderful choice in his head of the FEMA agency, instead of a political hack like Bush. And then this morning they make a comment about, \u00c2\u201cWell, you know, the president said FEMA will do every effort to help victims in this hurricane, whatever it takes. Yet Mitt Romney said, \u00c2\u2018We should abolish FEMA and privatize it.\u00c2\u2019\u00c2\u201d They go, \u00c2\u201cOh, yeah,\u00c2\u201d and both times they make this smarmy chuckle. I\u2019m watching hurricane coverage and they\u2019re turning into politics!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, well, you said it was CNN. That shouldn\u2019t surprise you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I know that, but this is why I stopped watching CNN. But I said, \u00c2\u201cI\u2019m watching for news of the hurricane and they\u2019re injecting politics into a potential disaster.\u00c2\u201d<\/p>\n

RUSH: I saw the same thing. I didn\u2019t see that, but I saw Obama campaign aides speculating on how they could turn this into a plus for Obama, and that\u2019s what you must have seen. That must have been one of the strategies.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah, talking about it this morning on CNN, they were saying, \u00c2\u201cHow will this affect the election?\u00c2\u201d I have relatives in Pittsburgh. It sounds like an old joke: \u00c2\u201cI have relatives in Milwaukee.\u00c2\u201d But I want to see what\u2019s happening back East to my friends and my relatives back there, not hear about politics. By the way, over the weekend I watched Seven Days in May. That president was down to 29% approval. He didn\u2019t wait for polls; he didn\u2019t wait for studies. Even though he\u2019s a fictional president, he acted to defend this country, and that\u2019s the difference: Even a fictional president\u2019s better than this one.<\/p>\n
