RUSH: Charles, Largo, Florida, thank you for waiting. Great to have you on the program, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Rush, I\u2019ve been listening to you since the eighties. I was talking to a lady friend of mine and mentioned to her some things that I thought politically, and she told me, “You sound just like Rush Limbaugh.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wow.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I said, “Who\u2019s that?”<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n
CALLER: And she told me, and I\u2019ve been listening to you ever since. What I\u2019d like to know today, what\u2019s your take on this Keystone XL thing, what is his motivation for —<\/p>\n
When you go into any reelection, you have to secure your base. And in his case, the base includes wacko environmental extremists who literally hate anything progress oriented in energy. And they believe all this green energy garbage: wind power, solar power, green this, green that. They believe that oil is filthy. They believe that oil is deadly, oil\u2019s polluting, and there\u2019s too much profit in oil and people are too dependent on oil. So Obama says, “Okay, I gotta remain loyal to those people.” So no Keystone pipeline; no 20,000 new jobs; no expansion of our domestic oil supply and reduction in price; no cheaper gasoline. <\/p>\n
If there was ever a man working against the will of the American people, if there was ever a president who is working against the best interests of the United States of America, I haven\u2019t seen one other than Barack Obama. I think this is outrageous. I think Obama\u2019s a Keystone Cop. If he weren\u2019t so seriously oriented toward transforming this country into something it\u2019s never been, I would say he\u2019s a joke. How\u2019s this for a headline? The New York Times: “Rejecting Keystone Pipeline Proposal, Obama Blames House Republicans.” He did. Isn\u2019t that a shock, Obama would blame the Republicans? Somehow Obama reminds me of this Italian cruise ship captain. “I tripped and I fell into the lifeboat.” Except the Republicans are always the ones tripping Obama. <\/p>\n
You know why it\u2019s a Republican problem? You know why this is the Republicans\u2019 fault? Because the Republicans only gave him 60 days to assess the risks, and Obama said he needed more time. But Obama doesn\u2019t care about you and me. There\u2019s a Politico headline, and that tells you what Obama wants. The Politico headline: “Robert Redford: Obama stood up to Big Oil — Robert Redford, actor and outspoken environmentalist, applauded President Obama\u2019s decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline on Wednesday.” So Robert Redford and his adoration is an objective for Barack Obama. So a brainless Hollywood actor is who carries weight with Barack Obama. I mean it is absurd. The Keystone pipeline, potentially a hundred thousand jobs down the road, from a man who claims to be laser-focused on jobs. If there was ever an illustration that the man does not tell the truth, and that his objectives are not the furtherance of this nation\u2019s real interests, this is it. Charles, thanks for the call. Appreciate it.<\/p>\n
Janet, Shiloh, Illinois, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hello, to one of the last men standing. How are you?<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m fine. Thank you very much. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n
