RUSH: Here\u2019s Susan in Atlanta. Great to have you. Glad you waited. You\u2019re on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush, mega dittos. You have a great audience, I\u2019m impressed with them. My son and I also love your show. He\u2019s a huge presidents guru, and we\u2019ve been following the presidential election closely with my daughter. And we\u2019re also very impressed with Romney\u2019s campaign right now. We watched a clip of John Sununu on CNN with Soledad O\u2019Brien, and she was trying to tie him to the birther group, Romney, because Trump is a donor. And Sununu told her he\u2019s not a birther. Romney has acknowledged that Obama was born in the US and that the issues people care about are economy and jobs, and he really pushed back on that and focused on jobs and the economy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I didn\u2019t see that bite but I read about it. And I wish I could remember Sununu\u2019s quote because it was devastating. He just put Soledad O\u2019Brien in her place. And I wish I could remember what he said. It was something along the lines of — and you saw it, maybe you can correct me — but it was something along the lines of: Do you ever have criticism that\u2019s not the Democrat Party talking points or the Obama Administration talking points or some such thing like that.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. Because she went on to another topic. She mentioned the birther, but she had a quote about how it came in with Trump and he said that was a talking point that came out of the Democrat Party yesterday. Do you always go by their talking points? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I remember. And so what you\u2019re saying, you like the feistiness. You like the rapid response of the Romney team? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. With Romney standing in front of Solyndra, when Romney fired back about — who was it the other day that asked him about is Barack Obama a socialist or is he anti-capitalist. Romney basically said yes, because of all the regulations. And it\u2019s just nice and refreshing to see Romney.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I remember, Romney was being asked if he agreed with something I said about Obama. And, again, my memory is failing me. Yeah, I said Obama\u2019s running the first anti-capitalist campaign as a president in our history. First president in my lifetime ever to run against capitalism. Romney was asked about it and he agreed with it. That\u2019s what you heard. He didn\u2019t throw Trump overboard. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One of the points I made about Romney last week, which is a good one, is Trump gets on TV, gets snookered into talking about the birther issue <\/a>on CNN. And that becomes the whole news narrative the next day. And then the media said to Romney: “You gotta get rid of this guy. You gotta get rid of Trump. And, by the way, you need to stand up to Limbaugh.” And McCain would have. McCain would have thrown Trump overboard, would have denounced him just because the Democrats and the media were demanding it. <\/p>\n

Romney did not and that\u2019s new. That is different. A lot of Republicans in the past, when the media would demand something like that, would easily throw a supporter overboard, but Romney didn\u2019t. Now, that having been said, look, I\u2019m not trying to throw cold water on things, but there are a couple of potential problems that I have learned about in recent days. And since the subject has come up, I\u2019ll tell you about them when we get back.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: A little story here from the Washington Examiner. Byron York had this, ran on Sunday, headline: “In Tough Fight with Romney, Obama Longs for McCain — Obama told the audience at a Minneapolis restaurant called Bachelor Farmer,” one of his six fundraisers, where he got really close to Wisconsin, but he wouldn\u2019t go to Wisconsin. Why doesn\u2019t a man so universally loved and popular, we\u2019re told Obama\u2019s personal popularity is way, way up, why didn\u2019t he go to Wisconsin? Bail out Tom Barrett. If Wisconsin\u2019s got so much importance, which, by the way, they\u2019re downplaying now. The Democrats, Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz: No, Wisconsin doesn\u2019t mean anything to the presidential race. It\u2019s a Wisconsin election. What are you talking about? <\/line><\/p>\n

Six months ago it was the blueprint for the presidential race. Six months ago it was the presidential race in microcosm. But now that the polling data looks so bad, they\u2019re running away from it. And Obama is so universally loved and so popular, why not go to Wisconsin, if he\u2019s so loved he can help Barrett out. Go in there and campaign for the guy. Why didn\u2019t he go and help Barrett like he helped Martha Coakley. Go in there and help Barrett like he helped, who was it who lost to Bob McConnell and who was it that lost to Chris Christie? Obama went and campaigned for all these guys. I guess that\u2019s why he\u2019s not going. Everybody he endorses loses. The same thing with Clinton, by the way. <\/p>\n

So at this fundraiser in Minnesota. Obama said: “I mean, 2008 was a significant election, obviously. But John McCain believed in climate change. John believed in campaign finance reform. He believed in immigration reform. I mean, there were some areas where you saw some overlap.” But now Obama says things are different, and “we\u2019re going to have as stark a contrast as we\u2019ve seen in a very long time between the candidates.” So here\u2019s Obama in a tough fight with Romney, longing for McCain. Now, what does that tell you? He wants a guaranteed loser. He wants a Republican that\u2019s going to compromise his core beliefs and agree with Obama. He wants somebody who is going to cave. And he\u2019s unhappy Romney is not caving. <\/p>\n

Now, ladies and gentlemen, I am duty bound. I ran across this in show prep. I have to pass these two things along to you. They take us back to the primary, and they take us back to a lot of people\u2019s concerns in the primary that Romney really isn\u2019t conservative. Now, we don\u2019t have to relive all of that. You know what I\u2019m talking about. First item is from National Review Online: “Former Utah governor Michael Leavitt, who is leading the effort to be prepared for the White House transition should Mitt Romney win, is also a big fan of the state health-care exchanges in Obamacare — and doesn\u00c2\u2019t want the GOP to eliminate the exchanges,” from Obamacare. “Leavitt has said some relatively positive things about certain elements of Obama\u00c2\u2019s health reform law, suggesting earlier this year that ‘Obamacare\u2019 empowers the HHS secretary ‘to do certain things that are clearly aimed at trying to move us in the right direction.\u2019<\/p>\n

“‘We believe that the exchanges are the solution to small business insurance market and that\u00c2\u2019s gotten us sideways with some conservatives,\u2019 he said. The exchanges are not only a matter of principle for Leavitt — they\u00c2\u2019re also a cash cow. The size of his firm, Leavitt Partners, doubled in the year after the bill was signed as they won contracts to help states set up the exchanges funded by the legislation.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So Romney\u2019s transition guy loves a central part of Obamacare. Now, they asked a Romney spokesperson, Andrea Saul, National Review asked her to respond and her answer: “Gov. Romney alone decides policy. As he\u00c2\u2019s made clear, he is committed to completely repealing Obamacare.” Now, that is true, too. Romney has never wavered from that. But the guy he\u2019s chosen to head up his transition — and transition is not a policy position. Transition is what it is. Transition from having won the election to the presidency. It\u2019s the team that goes in and learns where the typewriters are, the computers, all the little details that get passed on from administration to administration. It\u2019s not really a policy position. But the transition guy loves Obamacare, or a central aspect of it, and has profited from it. I have to point this out. <\/p>\n

Now, by the same token, people are going to say, “You gotta get rid of this guy, Mitt. This guy is going to do great harm to you. Could be the nicest guy in the world, you might hate the exchanges, and you might insist you\u2019re going to repeal Obamacare, but this guy is going to worry voters. And Romney will stand by him just like he stands by Trump, my guess anyway. That\u2019s not the only one. Glenn Hubbard is another Romney advisor who believes that the bulk of any economic policy aimed at reducing the deficit should be borne by the wealthy. <\/p>\n

“Glenn Hubbard, an economic adviser to GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and former George W. Bush official, appeared to channel President Barack Obama on Sunday during a discussion about the former Massachusetts governor\u2019s tax plan. Speaking with CNN\u2019s Fareed Zakaria…” In fact, we might have… let me see. Do we have this guy? Do we have Hubbard? I\u2019m going through the list quickly to see if we\u2019ve got Hubbard. I can\u2019t find it. Here\u2019s what he said: Speaking with Fareed Zakaria on CNN, Hubbard said, “The bulk of the adjustment [should] be borne by upper income households.” Romney was willing to “put everything on the table,” meaning tax increases on the rich. <\/p>\n

“Hubbard\u2019s comments appear to fly in the face of the Romney camp\u2019s contention that Obama\u2019s push to tax the wealthy at a higher rate is ‘class warfare.\u2019 According to Hubbard, Romney would focus on cutting marginal tax rates to the levels proposed in the Bowles-Simpson plan in an effort to spur economic growth. The rest of the deficit reduction would come by broadening the tax base, he said. The wealthy would also foot part of the bill for expanding Medicare and Social Security costs, Hubbard said.”<\/p>\n

So these two names, these two guys, just warning you, if they haven\u2019t already, are going to create red flags. Particularly out there in the blogosphere, people are going to be saying: “Oh no. Oh no. Why does he have to have a guy advising him on raising taxes on the rich? That\u2019s Obama. We need to differentiate ours.” That\u2019s going to be one thing. The other thing is: “Oh, no, why does he have to have a transition guy that believes in state health exchanges and who profited from them as a transition guy? I thought we wanted to differentiate ourselves from Obama. We don\u2019t need people who like things Obama is saying.” <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t pretend to have the answers to these objections to the questions. I could guess, but that\u2019s all they would be. The Politico, by the way, as far as Mike Leavitt is concerned, who is the health exchange guy that likes those things, Politico is exchanging Mike Leavitt as Mitt Romney\u2019s Mitt Romney. Meaning that Leavitt is Romney. Now the politico also may be trying to stir up a little mess here in doing so. But remember we are talking about — we can\u2019t deny this — we\u2019re talking about the Republican establishment. The Republican establishment openly admitted, some members of it just the last couple of weeks, that it\u2019s only now that they\u2019re beginning to think they can win. The Republican establishment believes that we need to have compromise and we need to show the independents that we\u2019re not a bunch of extremists, and they believe that there\u2019s certain aspects of Obamacare that the public wants, that we\u2019re going to have to keep. In addition, I didn\u2019t know the exchanges were part of that up until now. What we were told that the Republicans liked was the preconditioned insurance aspect and to keep the kids on the policy, those two things voters want to maintain no matter what happens to Obamacare. <\/p>\n

So all this means is that the Republican establishment is the Republican establishment. They\u2019re there. And that they are involved in the Romney campaign. But I agree with the caller who got all this started. Romney has been awesome. He\u2019s just been dramatically superb in beating back some of these Obama attacks. The rapid response team that he\u2019s put together is fabulous, the ads they\u2019re running are great. I\u2019ve got an idea for an ad for them. Obama is out doing all these fundraisers, and at the same time he\u2019s blaming Congress for not doing anything. So if I were Boehner, I would put an ad together with Republican leaders standing outside an Obama fundraiser waiting for an opportunity to talk to him<\/p>\n

Since he\u2019s saying the Republicans aren\u2019t doing anything, well, I would do a little ad, plenty of visuals with Republicans outside a fundraiser, being denied entry. All they want to do is work with Obama on jobs, but he\u2019s too busy raising money. But they\u2019re where he is trying to help. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I have to mention this, folks. Romney and his Republican establishment buddies do say “repeal and replace” when they talk about Obamacare. Not every time, but they say it enough. And the “replace,” that gives them a little (shall we say) maneuvering room for mischief, if they want to. And Leavitt has made money on these health care exchanges as we mentioned, tons of money setting up these health care exchanges. So he likes these things. He\u2019s in charge of the transition.<\/p>\n

The transition does get involved in personnel, in people in positions of power. (interruption) I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know if Leavitt is the tip of the iceberg of Republicans who secretly like Obamacare. I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s a bunch of Republicans who secretly like Obamacare. But what I know is that there are a lot of Republicans who have spines of linguini who think that the American people want it, and they\u2019re scared to death that they\u2019re going to lose the election if they go for flat-out repeal. They\u2019re going to run away.<\/p>\n

The Republican establishment is focused on 20%: The independents. They think the election is going to be won and lost there. They\u2019re scared to death. They believe every liberal mantra about the independents and how this will cause them to run back to Democrats. And there are some things about Obamacare that the Republican establishment really thinks these independents love, and they\u2019re just very nervous talking about full repeal.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why they put “repeal and replace” in there.<\/p>\n

The whole Romneycare-Obamacare linkage, the Obama campaign hasn\u2019t gotten to that yet. And they will. I\u2019m just warning you: They\u2019re going there. It\u2019s not going to be pretty when they do. We talked about all this during the primaries. We\u2019ve got Romneycare architects bragging that they also wrote Obamacare. Now the transition guy, Mr. Leavitt, is a big believer in a central theme of Obamacare. And that is the state-run health exchanges, which take the place of private sector insurance outfits, companies, the industry at large.<\/p>\n

Now, Glenn Hubbard is a different thing.<\/p>\n

Glenn Hubbard is from Blackstone, the private equity firm. He\u2019s a director or trustee, one of the two, of The Economic Club of New York and The Tax Foundation. These are supply-side groups. I\u2019m having trouble figuring out where he comes from here on Fareed Zakaria\u2019s show on CNN advocating tax increases on the rich. He\u2019s renowned as a supply-side economist, and he was apparently instrumental in the design of 2003 Bush tax cuts. Now, I\u2019m not making excuses. I\u2019m just saying there appears to be a little bit of a disconnect here.<\/p>\n

But I am just your humble servant reporter passing information along. It\u2019s out there in the public domain as it were. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
