RUSH: Here\u2019s Dick Morris, by the way, audio sound bites. Fox News Channel, The O\u2019Reilly Factor last night. O\u2019Reilly said, “Jimmy Carter was running, as you said, an economy that was just terrible, inflation off the charts, unemployment <\/a>was high, and that he looked bad with Iran. But he still led Reagan after all that in the polls. Be was still well ahead of Reagan, but Reagan basically got him in the debates. I think that\u2019s what\u2019s happened. Reagan came across much more confident, much more credible in the debates than Carter, and that\u2019s what turned it for him.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MORRIS: Certainly the debates helped. All of this, Bill, is based on a fundamental misreading of what the situation was back then and what it is now. People are not reading these polls accurately. They are saying that right now it\u2019s very close and in most polls Obama is somewhat ahead. Totally untrue! Obama is waaaaay behind.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s right. That New York Times poll of three weeks ago, 41% approval. The likability numbers are up, but Dick Morris is right. You\u2019ve got an incumbent president below 50% approval. The White House knows it. They are in a state of panic. And very few people on our side are confident enough to say that. Confidence, of course, is not something I have a problem with. But many other people do. And plus there\u2019s the jinx factor. See, I don\u2019t believe in jinxing. <\/p>\n

For example, I don\u2019t think if I tell you that they\u2019re panicking in the White House that I\u2019m gonna jinx something. But there are a lot of people that do. I don\u2019t believe in the jinx factor. So O\u2019Reilly said, “Oh, really? Well, why is the president losing independent support?” Don\u2019t forget now the Fox News poll came out yesterday, and Obama is losing independents to Romney by 13 points, after the war on women, after all this phony trumped up stuff for the last six weeks. O\u2019Reilly wanted to know from Morris why is the president losing independent support.<\/p>\n

MORRIS: The president is running an absolutely stupid campaign. His campaign is based on the assumption of not appealing to the middle, not even regarding the middle. He\u2019s just going after the left. He\u2019s trying to re-create the coalition that elected him in 2008. He\u2019s trying to re-create that environment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

MORRIS: Instead of using hope and change and uplift, he\u2019s using envy and fear and dislike and distrust. In the course of it he looks horrible, his personal approval ratings are dropping.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right again. There is no hope and change. There\u2019s just fear, envy, class warfare, all that stuff. It\u2019s not playing. This morning on CBS This Morning the magazine editor Jann Wenner was being interviewed by the BFF of Oprah, Gayle King, “In the four years that Rolling Stone\u2019s done the interview, you\u2019ve had it the last three years with the president. So I\u2019m thinking there must be some kind of rapport between you, Jann Wenner, and Obama, but you said he seemed a little somber in this interview.”<\/p>\n

WENNER: He\u2019s — I think, just really stressful and at points it just gets wearisome and tired. You know, and he\u2019s been pounded back and forth. Not that he — you know, he\u2019s more somber, the stakes are higher. I don\u2019t know how to describe it. It\u2019s tough. Hillary looked tired. I mean even at three years, a job that you can\u2019t imagine.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So Obama and Hillary are tired and they\u2019re running scared, and this guy loves \u2019em. Jann Wenner loves Obama and loves Hillary, but he can\u2019t help but acknowledge these people have had it. Look tired, such a tough job. Oh, man, it\u2019s a job that you just can\u2019t imagine. Charlie Rose was not happy to hear what Jann Wenner was saying. He said, “Well, do you think that they\u2019re running scared or not?”<\/p>\n

WENNER: The Obama people? I think everybody is running scared. You have to. If you\u2019re not running scared, you\u2019re crazy. If you go in with overconfidence, you\u00c2\u2019re going to make mistakes. You go in there like every last vote counts and I think that\u2019s the way they mean to take it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jann Wenner, the last expert on Obama because he did an interview.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Not only, folks, can Obama not run on his past, he very likely can\u2019t even run on his future. He has no plans to address Social Security. He has no plans to address Medicare. He has no plans to address the debt. He has no plans to address any of the problems we\u2019ve got. All of his plans — and he can\u2019t run on these, either — all of his solutions boil down to one thing, and that is taking more of our money. And that\u2019s not a very good selling point, except maybe for people who are so poor they don\u2019t have to worry about it. He\u2019s gonna make it sound like he\u2019s gonna only take money from the top 1%, but he\u2019s gonna be taking everybody\u2019s money. That\u2019s his plan. That\u2019s his solution. That\u2019s all he\u2019s got. I was in Los Angeles on Monday. I had to kill some time out there, and I\u2019m driving around town. I saw a down-and-out homeless-looking guy holding a cardboard sign that said: “Please give money or I\u2019ll vote for Obama again.” Honest. (laughing) This guy hadn\u2019t figured out Obama\u2019s gonna give him some.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
