RUSH: Everything that George W. Bush proposed in terms of spending, Barack Obama voted for. Obama voted for everything that came before him, every spending increase as a Senator, he voted for it. There were 14.3 million fewer Americans on food stamps than there are today. The record of economic damage and destruction in this country is owing to one man, Barack Obama. Are we ever, ever going to hear that anything is Obama\u2019s fault? In fact, what are we hearing? In fact, all of this is the Republican Congress\u2019 fault. Obama\u2019s running against a do-nothing Congress. He just submits a budget, a bankrupting budget that is indefensible, it\u2019s a campaign document. That\u2019s why it can\u2019t be defended. And that was made perfectly clear <\/a>on C-SPAN this morning as the budget director was made a fool of by Scott Garrett, Republican, New Jersey. <\/p>\n

<\/a>The reason Obama\u2019s budget is difficult to defend is because the regime\u2019s spending on donors and unions is destroying the country. Another solar firm goes bankrupt, and up next, wind companies bankrolled by Obama will go bankrupt. Every green energy endeavor is a total debacle, bankrupt, bailed out. None of this is traceable to George W. Bush. So Obama\u2019s calculation is class warfare politics. It is clear what they\u2019re doing. I had somebody say to me, sort of repeated what I said yesterday, “Rush, it\u2019s clear, it\u2019s now clear, the administration, Obama, clearly thinks that they can run as socialists and win election.” They don\u2019t have to mask it anymore. As liberals, they don\u2019t have to pretend that they\u2019re not liberals, they don\u2019t think. They\u2019re out there not hiding who they are, other than this payroll tax cut extension. That\u2019s the only area where Obama\u2019s trying to make himself sound like a conservative. <\/p>\n

But I have revised my thinking on this. I don\u2019t think so much Obama is campaigning as a socialist. I think what he has calculated is that there are enough Americans who will sell their votes for him. That may be a distinction without a difference, but I still think it\u2019s worth making. He thinks there are enough Americans who will sell their votes to him. Put another way, there are enough Americans whose votes he can buy, and he\u2019s making every effort to do it. He\u2019s trying to create as much dependence as he can in this country. Class warfare politics, unconstitutional mandates, contraception distractions<\/a>, vote buying. That\u2019s what they figure will trump failed policies. It\u2019s clear that that\u2019s their strategery. So his budget is a campaign document. The president puts another irresponsible budget in order to run against a do-nothing Congress. <\/p>\n

The last thing they want is for this thing to pass. The last thing they want is for any legislation of Obama\u2019s to pass. And therefore any legislation coming from the White House this year is going to be outrageous. He must have a Congress that votes down or doesn\u2019t even vote, period, on all of his proposals. Obama has done nothing to bring down his deficit. And believe me, this deficit is his. He has done nothing to do away with the red tape that prevents real growth in the private sector. He has done nothing to improve education. He\u2019s done nothing to reform entitlements. He has done nothing to allow for the increase in energy supplies to bring down the price of gasoline. He even said “no” to the Keystone pipeline. <\/line><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a do-nothing guy, it is Obama, who is doing nothing to help this country. And yet he campaigns as if America\u2019s problem is a do-nothing Congress. And he can only get away with this with the help of a report-nothing media. And he\u2019s got it. He\u2019s got it right in the palm of his hand, a report-nothing media. America\u2019s rapidly accelerating deficit is a result of vote-buying sprees the likes of which we have never seen. It\u2019s a result of a Democrat-controlled House and Senate in Obama\u2019s first two years in office. Democrats said “yes” to bankrupting the country, enriching their friends, and now we are reducing our nuclear stockpile to 300 warheads. At least that\u2019s the proposal. Obama wrote a piece<\/a> while at Columbia University in 1983 spelling out exactly how he wanted to do this and why. <\/p>\n

Make no mistake, and do not doubt me. Barack Hussein Obama views the United States of America as the problem in the world. The United States of America is the reason that there are inequities, that there is unfairness, racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, environmental destruction. Whatever the grievance that liberals have about the human condition across the world, it\u2019s our fault. It is the fault of the United States. It\u2019s the fault of capitalism. It\u2019s the fault of the 1%. We have robbed. We have cheated. We have stolen. We have co-opted. We have commandeered. We have conquered. That\u2019s his view of this country. And so let\u2019s reduce the stockpile to 300 warheads<\/a> while the Russians have 1,550, while the ChiComs have more than 300. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s make this country vulnerable. Let\u2019s enact policies that will show the people of this country what they\u2019ve made other people live through. Let\u2019s establish policies in this country that will make Americans finally understand the excrement sandwich they have put the rest of the world through since the days of our founding. I don\u2019t really care anymore, folks, sometimes I vacillate on Obama\u2019s motivation, and other days I don\u2019t care about it. But days like this when it becomes unmistakably clear, there is a huge and maybe more than one chip on his shoulder about this country and its existence and the way it was structured, that he doesn\u2019t like. And it\u2019s time that we were gotten even with. Plain and simple. <\/p>\n

This reducing nuclear warheads to a number of 300 is staggering news. Obama could cut our nuclear weapons arsenal by as much as 80%. And that is an 80% reduction over the so-called new START levels, which have already taken our warheads down to dangerously low numbers. I think we\u2019ve gone from 5,000 down to 1,500. He wants to take it down to 300 now. That would be the equivalent of unilateral disarmament, given the stockpiles of nations around the world. And of course it will be welcomed by the United Nations. It will be welcomed by the euro nations. It will be welcomed by Vladimir Putin, the ChiComs, the mullahs of Iran, the Obama Brotherhood in Egypt. And of course their allies in the news media and the Democrat Party will all think this is just one of the best days for peace there has ever been.<\/p>\n

Three hundred nuclear weapons takes the US back to levels not seen since 1950. In 1967, we peaked at 31,255 nuclear warheads. That number helped us win the Cold War. The arms race was not about total numbers. It was about having more than all of your enemies because of the deterrent factor. None of these weapons were ever built with the hope that they would have to be used. Every one of these was built and armed and deployed with the hope and prayer they would never be needed. That\u2019s why they were built and deployed, to make sure they weren\u2019t needed. <\/p>\n

Now, some people just arriving at this because youth may not understand, “What do you mean you build it so you don\u2019t have to use it?” Stop and think about it. From the deterrent point of view, you build all these weapons systems, you let the world know you have them, you let the world know you can use them, you let the world know they work, and everybody around the world will think twice about attacking. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what was so remarkable, if I might say, about 9\/11. They didn\u2019t care! They weren\u2019t concerned that we would retaliate in any similar way with our arsenal. But up until then, the deterrent factor worked. The fact that we could strike back. Why do you think the Russians imploded, why the Soviet Union imploded? Again for those of you new to all this: The Soviet Union imploded once Ronald Reagan declared that he was going to build a Strategic Defense Initiative, a missile shield, Star Wars. It was over. The Russians knew they couldn\u2019t do that — they couldn\u2019t keep up — and they knew we could. They were already a Third World nation and empire with a First World military, and that\u2019s all they were.<\/p>\n

<\/a>In every instance, the deterrent theory in the number of warheads and where they were deployed and how they were deployed, worked. The deployment of nuclear missiles in Europe scared the hell out of the Europeans, bugged \u2019em, but shortly thereafter the Berlin Wall came down. But Barack Obama has wanted to strip this country of its nuclear weapons ever since he was at Columbia University in 1983, if it is not before that. That\u2019s just the most recent that he\u2019s written — or as far back as we can find. Yet note how the American people, the public have not been allowed to hear anything about these negotiations? We just today, out of the clear blue, get up and read in the AP-Obama\u2019s gonna reduce our warheads to 300.<\/p>\n

From what? Where has this been going on? Did Bush do this? Did Obama inherit this from Bush? What happened? Where did we get to this point? We\u2019ve been kept in the dark about this. All of this had been going on behind closed doors. The most transparent administration in the history of the country! Why is that? Why is all this been going on with no knowledge on the part of the country? “Peace Through Strength” has worked every time it\u2019s been tried. Somebody tell me when “Peace Through Weakness” has ever worked. That\u2019s what Obama is cobbling together here: “Peace Through Weakness.” (New Castrati impression) “Mr. Limbaugh, it\u2019s a proven fact that when the people of other nations…” This is the New Castrati talking to me.<\/p>\n

“If we just show our enemies that we intend them no harm, Mr. Limbaugh, that we reduce the destructive nuclear weapons — these weapons that could destroy everything on earth four times over! If we reduce those weapons we are sending the message to the rest of the world that we are fine, lovable, warm people, that we intend them no harm.” No, that\u2019s not the message they\u2019re gonna receive. You think Ahmadinejad is gonna say, “Oh, you know what? Look at the Americans! What a bunch of good guys, getting rid of their nukes.” No, Ahmadinejad, the mullahs, all these people, look at us a bunch of raving lunatics — and they\u2019re going to see an opportunity. There you have it. Barack Obama: Destroying the US economy, downsizing the US military, reducing our deterrent nuclear force — and blaming it all on George W. Bush.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Who\u2019s gonna be up first? Joe in Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina. Thank you for waiting, Joe. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s a pleasure to speak with you, and it is always educational to listen to you. “Right on, right on, right on!”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. I appreciate that. We do make the complex understandable. We do try that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, you do. You know, nothing is ever [Obama\u2019s] fault, but what I called about initially was that he has been creating debt that will make us subject to economic blackmail. And now he\u2019s going into nuclear disarmament that will make us subject to nuclear blackmail. We\u2019re surrounded by enemies external and internal, and I always thought that the Constitution said his primary job is to defend this nation. He\u2019s not doing that. At what point does this become treasonous?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well…<\/p>\n

CALLER: He is turning us into a Third World country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think that would come under the rubric of “treason.” But the answer to your question is (even if it were): “Until somebody charges him with it.” I will say this again. Recess appointments when there\u2019s no recess? If the Senate is not gonna stand up for itself, he\u2019s going to keep doing it. If nobody from whom he is usurping power in the legislative branch is gonna stand up and stop it, he\u2019s gonna keep doing it. If nobody objects, in other words, in a way that has a force of law behind it, he\u2019s gonna keep doing it. I\u2019ll give you the example again. We\u2019ve got laws on the books that says you cannot kill somebody. It\u2019s called murder. But people still do it.<\/p>\n

Now, in that case we do try to find the killers. But imagine if we didn\u2019t. All we would have is a law that says, “You\u2019re not allowed to kill somebody in cold blood. You\u2019re not allowed to kill somebody, period.” But if we don\u2019t enforce it, what good is it? So Obama can do all of this until somebody stops him. Now, I know what you mean. When you ask me, “How can he do this?” you are making the mistake of assuming that we have somebody here with a moral code that would provide a loyalty and fealty to the Constitution. But we don\u2019t have that in this president. We have a president for whom, to whom the Constitution is an impediment.<\/p>\n

The Constitution is a roadblock. The Constitution is a problem. The Constitution, for Obama and his boys, is a worthless document. They refer to it as “negative liberties.” And by that they mean that the Constitution only tells government what it can\u2019t do (i.e., negative liberties). They resent the fact that the Constitution doesn\u2019t spell out what they can do, and so they want to rewrite the Constitution. FDR with his new Bill of Rights; Obama supports them. Obama wants one of two things. He wants to be able to ignore the Constitution with impunity, which he\u2019s being able to do. He\u2019s doing it. Nobody\u2019s stopping him. Ideally he would like a constitution that he writes that empowers government over everything and everyone — and until he gets that, he\u2019s going to act as though that\u2019s what it says.<\/p>\n

So how can he bring our warhead arsenal down to 300? Easy! He\u2019s gonna order it done. How can he make a recess appointment when there is no recess? Easy! Just make the appointment. And if all the Republican leadership is gonna do is stand up and say they “deplore” it, he\u2019ll laugh all the way to the appointment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Bob in Newark, Delaware. Bob, glad you called. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, Rush. I\u2019m gonna get right to the point. You\u2019ve been saying it forever, and that is Obama has support of the largest public union in the world. There are the workers and there are the takers, and he has the support of the takers. They don\u2019t have to give him a penny. He just gives to them and they then give him his vote. It\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ve been saying.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Those are the people whose votes he\u2019s essentially buying. Exactly right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t want to be real pessimist, but he may be right, he may be running the gamble. There may already be enough of them that he can win a second term.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not so sure. I don\u2019t think the 2010 elections would have ended up the way they did if that were the case. I don\u2019t think that the vast majority of people in polling data would be opposed to Obamacare. But it could well be that pollsters don\u2019t reach these takers because they\u2019re so buried down in beds underneath the covers with each other that they can\u2019t be found.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I don\u2019t disagree, I\u2019m just saying that\u2019s his gamble. His gamble is there\u2019s already enough of them, that\u2019s the way he\u2019s going to go.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, that\u2019s exactly right. He\u2019s not trying to sound conservative. He\u2019s not trying to hide liberalism. He\u2019s not trying to hide anything. He\u2019s acknowledging what\u2019s going on. He\u2019s blaming it on the Republicans, but he\u2019s campaigning as a full-fledged big government redistributionist, that you\u2019ve been screwed by the haves, and I\u2019m here to make everything good now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
