RUSH: That speech yesterday <\/a>— 54, 57 minutes, whatever it was — was an utter disaster. And all afternoon yesterday and all last night, the State-Controlled Media was in sheer panic over it. And somebody finally figured out that Obama was suckered into this by no less than Mitt Romney! Apparently, folks. Remember when Axelrod was in Boston last week and a bunch of Romney people showed up and heckled and asked questions and basically embarrassed Axelrod? Apparently the regime said, “You don\u2019t do that to us! That\u2019s what we do to you, but you don\u2019t do that to us.” <\/p>\n

Romney\u2019s speech <\/a>yesterday that was scheduled first. It was Obama who then scheduled his speech after. And actually Solyndra is part of this, too. Because apparently the regime (and Obama personally) was livid that Romney went out to Solyndra and stood in front of the boarded-up headquarters and all the dilapidated signage and did an appearance to illustrate the bankrupt nature of Obama\u2019s green policies initiative. That bugged \u2019em. So this yesterday in Ohio was Obama getting even. And the press, they knew this.<\/p>\n

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

They didn\u2019t report it that way, but they knew that, and they were all excited about it, and so they built this thing up. They built this Obama speech up. It was gonna be a “major” reset! You heard it. You know all about it. They really lifted those expectations. And they thought it was a slam dunk because, “Obama gives speeches better than anybody! Nobody\u2019s even close. Nobody can hold a candle to Barack Obama. This guy, he\u2019s the best speechmaker, he\u2019s the best president, he\u2019s the smartest guy we ever had!”<\/p>\n

They had every hope and dream they\u2019ve ever had channeled into this speech. And it was a bomb. It was a dud. You know what the Romney team did? After Romney\u2019s speech, the Romney bus went to the site (the Cuyahoga Community College) where Obama was. And the bus drove around the place honking. It was basically, you know, a practical joke. They were honking and interrupting. Not the speech. The speech was going on inside, but as people were lined up to get into Obama\u2019s speech, Romney\u2019s bus drove around the place a couple of times and was taunting everybody. <\/p>\n

And this ticked \u2019em off. <\/p>\n

Mitt Romney!<\/p>\n

Mitt Romney… I don\u2019t know if Romney was in the bus, the Romney campaign bus. There are probably a bunch of Romney buses. But a Romney bus went to where Obama was speaking while people were lined up. It circled the place twice, I\u2019m told, and honked its horns and basically taunted the people lined up to get into Obama\u2019s speech. Then… (interruption) McCain has not demanded an apology. Jeb Bush has not decried “partisanship.” I\u2019m telling you, Obama\u2019s team, they were discombobulated. So this speech yesterday was basically to pay Romney back for what he did to Axelrod in Boston and going out to Solyndra. <\/p>\n

So they built this thing up and it was just a disaster. And these press people, they couldn\u2019t hide it; they couldn\u2019t lie about it. It was that bad. Jonathan Alter: “Worst speech I\u2019ve ever heard him give.” They started coming up with theories that they thought maybe could explain it. And they gave \u2019em all up and they had to conclude that it was an utter, absolute disaster. Now, the RNC has put together an Internet ad. It\u2019s three minutes long. I have a one-minute limit here on sound bites. I told you, Cookie, “Give me the whole thing. I\u2019ll start it and stop it.”<\/p>\n

What they did is the RNC took elements of Obama\u2019s speech yesterday and went back to a previous Obama speech and took identical phrases and sentences and sandwiched them back-to-back to illustrate: It\u2019s tired. It\u2019s old. It\u2019s worn out. It\u2019s the same old teleprompter. It\u2019s nothing new. Stale, old, rotten, just typically antiquated. So I have the audio of this, and when you hear the same things — when you hear Obama say the same thing twice — understand that once was in Cleveland yesterday. The other was in a previous speech this year. <\/p>\n

In the video version they have graphics that indicate the date when Obama said it. I haven\u2019t heard it yet. I\u2019ve just read about it. I haven\u2019t seen it yet \u2019cause I don\u2019t watch a whole lot of videos on the computer. So I\u2019m gonna be listening to this for the first time. You may have seen it. It\u2019s three minutes. I\u2019ll start-stop it as we go. I hope it translates to radio. You realize most hosts would not take this risk? Most hosts would preview it first. They\u2019d make sure it works for radio, and if it doesn\u2019t, they wouldn\u2019t use it. I, El Rushbo, am not bound by such conventions \u2019cause I can make it work even if it doesn\u2019t. <\/p>\n

So let\u2019s listen to it and let\u2019s see what it sounds like.<\/p>\n
