Whenever he\u2019s in trouble, the one-time Real Good Talker throws another speech out there.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">&#8220;Until this spring\u2019s troubles, everybody always said speaking was his strong suit. His Fidel Castro-length economic remarks blamed Europe, Congress and the usual Texan [George Bush] for the nation\u2019s re-sinking economy.&#8221; So here\u2019s Andrew Malcolm reviewing the Obama that we all know. It\u2019s the same guy. He goes on and on and on, says nothing, stutters and hems and haws without a prompter. It\u2019s common. It\u2019s every day. To the guy at the New York Times, it\u2019s panic time.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">Oh, no! My God, he doesn\u2019t look so smart now. He doesn\u2019t look so in command.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">It\u2019s the same Obama that everybody gets every day. And then Andrew Malcolm writes, &#8220;But &#8212; are you sitting down? &#8212; it contained no new ideas. He\u2019s still waiting for Congress to do something, you see. So, the 6,300 words ended up merely calling more sustained attention to the administration\u2019s idea bankruptcy, to the dim outlook for job improvements and to how bad the economy remains, despite all the promises more than 700 days ago of a magnificent Recovery Summer. Two-thirds of Americans remain convinced their country is still mired in recession.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15364\"><img xhtml:id=\"eZObject_63816\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushImmigrationFlag.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">&#8220;So, to change the subject quickly, Obama\u2019s Friday schedule was amended for him to get some news coverage about what he\u2019d already told Homeland Security to do: Permit illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children to remain here under certain conditions, not including citizenship. The unexpected announcement, which always raises the attention level in that DC hothouse, was widely touted by the media as a brilliant political move that would not only back Republicans into a corner somewhere, but earn a badly-needed poll boost for the Democrat languishing dangerously well below 50% approval in an election year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">But &#8220;On the day before his immigration remarks, Gallup\u2019s seven-day rolling average of about 3,000 registered voters in a hypothetical Obama-Romney match-up had the Republican ahead 46-45. Four days later the rolling average was exactly the same, 46 Romney[;] 45 Obama. In Rasmussen Reports\u2019 three-day rolling average of their match-up, just before Obama\u2019s Rose Garden remarks, Romney lead Obama 47-45. Three days later, Romney had improved to 48. Obama had slipped to 44.&#8221;<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">So there was no bump.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">There was no polling bump.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">Obama didn\u2019t get any polling bump from his immigration remarks on Friday. And I told you to expect this on Monday or Tuesday of this week. I asked you to remember 2007 and that the people of this country are diametrically opposed to amnesty. They don\u2019t want any part of it, of what Obama announced. I said it\u2019s not gonna help him. Everybody thinks it\u2019s gonna help. What he\u2019s doing, folks, is he has given up on mainstream America. His bet is that his electoral chances are better coalescing all these disparate, extreme fringe groups into one voting bloc. And he thinks that bunch will outnumber mainstream America.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">That\u2019s what he\u2019s counting on. They said it was brilliant, but ain\u2019t gonna happen.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">It\u2019s not gonna happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investor\u2019s Business Daily story here by Andrew Malcolm, formerly of the Los Angeles Times. &#8220;Obama\u2019s Immigration Ploy Has Gained Him Nada&#8221;
