All of a sudden, Barack Obama has realized the trouble that average people have dealing with the government.  All of a sudden, Barack Obama has realized that there are one hundred&#8230; Oh.  No, this is the way to put it.  &#8220;The Department of Homeland Security,&#8221; according to Barack Obama just moments ago, &#8220;reports to 100 different congressional committees and subcommittees and agencies.&#8221;<\/line><img id=\"eZObject_58091\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama011312_585.jpg\"\/><BR\/>And, all of a sudden, Barack Obama said (paraphrased): &#8220;That\u2019s too much paper! That\u2019s too many reports!  We\u2019ve gotta streamline this.&#8221;  The streamlining Barack Obama\u2019s talking about will be unnoticeable after his health care bill is implemented.  What a joke.  What an absolute transparent, phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock &#8216;n\u2019 roller, FM-type of a scam.  All of a sudden, Obama\u2019s the great small government reformer in an election year, with health care just waiting to be implemented, which will blow the size of this government up in ways that people cannot imagine. And then yesterday he had a big meeting on insourcing jobs.<\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s right, ladies and gentlemen, all of a sudden, Barack Obama wants to streamline government. Wow. Isn\u2019t it a beautiful thing. Well, let\u2019s look, shall we, at what it is Obama wants to shrink. These are the agencies that Obama suggests that we merge, downsize, shrink, what have you. The Commerce Department. The Small Business Administration. The Office of the US Trade Representative. The Export\/Import Bank. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation. The Trade and Development Agency.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what do these agencies all have in common? They\u2019re all pro-business. They are all pro-business. And this is where Obama wants to shrink. You could even say those agencies might lean to being pro-Republican or pro-conservative, and that\u2019s what Obama wants to shrink. He had this big press conference yesterday or whatever it was at the White House where he introduced a new term, &#8220;insourcing,&#8221; as opposed to outsourcing jobs. I have a question. I brought this up earlier. Are we to presume that Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm, and Leon Panetta and Hillary Rodham Clinton will enjoy firing those four soldiers captured in the worse-than-Abu Ghraib video? You heard about this, right? Dawn, you haven\u2019t heard about this? Well, there\u2019s a video, nobody knows how old it is, of some <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=16853\">US Marines urinating <\/a>on the bodies of Taliban combatants in Afghanistan. They peed on them. And, of course, it\u2019s Marines. It violated the rules. There\u2019s no defense of this. The overreaction to this is nuts, but still, it happened.<\/p>\n<p>You know, 80,000 soldiers were fired by the regime. Oh, yeah, we\u2019re gonna cut defense, we don\u2019t care. We\u2019ll cut defense. Eighty thousand soldiers fired, 80,000 soldiers laid off without a lot of tears from the regime. So what\u2019s getting rid of four more? But when it comes to laying off cops ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, no way. Can\u2019t lay off cops. Why, cops are too important. Armed resistance in our neighborhoods, the first responders, the police in your local community, whenever local leaders tell you that they just don\u2019t have the money anymore, they have to make budget cuts and the first to go will be the cops and teachers and firemen, what do you do? &#8220;No, no, no, no, don\u2019t cut our firemen. I don\u2019t want to be less safe.&#8221; &#8220;Okay, fine, then we can\u2019t cut anything.&#8221; No problem cutting 80,000 soldiers. Snap your fingers, it\u2019s done. Eighty thousand soldiers, outsource, insource, doesn\u2019t matter. The big difference is that the soldiers are not unionized and can\u2019t kick anything back to Obama. The cops are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: &#8220;Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm!&#8221; had a big meeting at the White House today where, all of a sudden, Barack Obama wants to make the government smaller.
