RUSH: Stan Greenberg, pollster extraordinaire. He\u2019s got this polling company with Carville. Stan Greenberg is married to Rosa DeLauro, a congresswoman from Connecticut. Enough said. National Journal: “Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg is out with a must-read polling memo this morning, which offers some eye-opening advice to President Obama and his re-election team. After testing several of the president\u2019s economic messages, he finds the argument that the economy is back on the right track polls miserably — and ‘produces disastrous results.'” I\u2019ll read that to you again, folks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Look at me when I say this to you. Greenberg, Democrat pollster from the Clinton era along with Carville and The Forehead. “After testing several of the president\u2019s economic messages, he finds the argument that the economy is back on the right track polls miserably — and ‘produces disastrous results.'” Quote… This is from the memo. I have printed it out from Greenberg. “It is weaker than even the weakest Republican message and is 10 points weaker in intensity than either Republican message. A third said this message made them less likely to support Barack Obama,” meaning the economy-is-back message.<\/p>\n

“Alarmingly, this message barely receives majority support among self-identified Democrats — and even less support among all other groups.” Let me translate for you: Obama\u2019s running around on this virtual economy<\/a>. “It\u2019s back! We\u2019re roaring back! Unemployment\u2019s down! Jobs are being created! We have algae and pond scum out there that are gonna bring gasoline prices down!” It ain\u2019t working. You\u2019re probably saying, “Well, why? Why?” I\u2019ll tell you why. Because Greenberg also discovers why it isn\u2019t working. The voters don\u2019t believe him. It\u2019s even in the headline: “Dem Pollster: Voters Don\u2019t Think America\u2019s Back “<\/p>\n

Greenberg has sent out in memo as a warning to Obama and the White House: Do not sit there and think that you\u2019ve got the magic of 2008 when you tell everybody pond scum is gonna bring gasoline prices down to $2.50. Don\u2019t think that lying to them about how good employment is and all that will work, \u2019cause people don\u2019t believe it. And you know why they don\u2019t believe it? Because it isn\u2019t happening! The gas price is going up! It\u2019s getting harder and harder to get a job. That\u2019s nothing evidentiary to support a roaring-back economy. And while this lie is going on, here you\u2019ve got Moochelle on the slopes in Aspen.<\/p>\n

The next night, she has a big blues bash with The Wrinkled One, Mick Jagger. He needs to iron his face, like Ann what\u2019s-her-face. Ma Richards. I always thought, “Just iron your face.” Mick Jagger, the same thing. The Obamas had B.B. King at dinner. Did you know this? I love B.B. King. One of my all-time favorite tunes, my all-time top-ten favorite, he sang it. B.B. King is in a wheelchair. He\u2019s diabetic. He\u2019s 80-some-odd years old, Snerdley, and he can still belt it out! And you know he sang The Thrill is Gone to Obama and Moochelle! He actually sang it. That was part of his repertoire: The Thrill is Gone. I know we got it in our Prophet System. You don\u00c2\u2019t have to find it right now, Mike, but get it up. We\u2019ll have it ready here and the song up in mere moments.<\/p>\n

Gosh, it\u2019s a great song. Back from early seventies. I remember playing that song my very first-ever radio job, and I remember it was popular in February or March. I remember songs seasonally, and that\u2019s when it was huge. Wintertime, very end stage of winter. So Greenberg is warning Obama: Hey, you need to find another big lie. So two bits of information: Independent Democrat women are not bothered by Santorum;<\/a> Republican women are not bothered by Santorum. The American people are not buying Obama\u2019s big lie on the economy coming back. They\u2019re not buying the notion that pond scum will bring down the price of gasoline to $2.50. Gallup tells us: His approval numbers last week or maybe early this week fell five points. He\u2019s like 42, 43% in Gallup. Chin up, folks. Chin up.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: (music) There you go, folks. B.B. King. Think it\u2019s 1970, 1971. The title of the tune is The Thrill is Gone, and he performed it live in front of Obama and Moochelle this week. (song continues) Can you imagine Obama sitting there listening to this and probably not getting it? Ha-ha-ha-ha.<\/p>\n

B.B. KING: You know you done me wrong, baby, and you\u2019ll be sorry someday.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, that\u2019s what we all hope. (song continues) B.B. King and The Thrill is Gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
