RUSH: Obama is now calling himself the new Teddy Roosevelt. So how many past presidents does that make that he\u2019s pretended to be like? FDR, Truman, Reagan, JFK — of course, Lincoln. Now he\u2019s adding Teddy Roosevelt! He\u2019s even going to Osawatomie, Kansas, to replicate a speech made there by Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 — which led to Roosevelt losing the presidential race, and I have two stories on that right here in the patented Stack of Stuff. <\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, I have a couple stories here about Obama\u2019s speech in Osawatomie, Kansas, tomorrow. First is from Zeke Miller at the BusinessInsider.com. “Obama Is About To Make A Big Class Warfare Speech — President Barack Obama will travel to Osawatomie, Kansas, on Tuesday to emphasize the need for Americans to pay their ‘fair share.'” Do you realize who the enemy in this country is today, folks? The enemy today is people who work. <\/p>\n
They are the reason this country is in deep doo-doo, not the lazy losers who are not working; who are defecating and urinating all over themselves and everything else. Not the lazy losers who are the product of a decrepit, corrupt educational system that\u2019s taught them by doing nothing, that they\u2019re special. No, the problem is the producers. The problem is people who are working. The problem is the backbone of America. They aren\u2019t paying their fair share, and the president of the United States is going to exploit this. Now, we\u2019ve always had envy and jealousy aimed at successful people, but we\u2019ve never had a president who\u2019s also made \u2019em a target like this. We\u2019ve never had it. We have never had a president encouraging the losers to remain losers.<\/p>\n
“The essence of any struggle for healthy liberty has always been, and must always be, to take from some one man or class of men the right to enjoy power, or wealth, or position, or immunity, which has not been earned by service to his or their fellows. That is what you fought for in the Civil War, and that is what we strive for now.” Want me to read that again? Teddy Roosevelt, 1910: “The essence of any struggle for healthy [freedom] liberty has always been … to take from [people] the right to enjoy power, or wealth, or position, or immunity, which has not been earned by service to his or their” fellow men. Do you see what\u2019s shaping up here? You own a factory, you own a business, you\u2019ve gotten successful or wealthy? Obama has the right to take it from you because you did that while not being in service. <\/p>\n
You profited. You took money from people! You took money from people when they bought the dishwasher from your shop. You didn\u2019t give it to \u2019em! You took money from \u2019em. You harmed \u2019em. So it\u2019s only right that we take it back from you. That\u2019s what Teddy Roosevelt said in 1910, and that\u2019s what Obama\u2019s gonna say tomorrow in Osawatomie. “Roosevelt called out special interests who pulled the strings of government \u00c2\u2014 a message we\u2019ll likely hear Obama adopt. … Roosevelt used his ‘New Nationalism\u2019 speech to launch his failed bid for the presidency in 1912, and it\u2019s safe to say that Obama\u2019s speech on Tuesday will draw from Roosevelt to lay much of the intellectual framework for his reelection bid.”Now, there\u2019s a second story on this. It is from The Daily Caller. <\/p>\n
“Obama Rolls Out New 2012 Theme — The White House is highlighting a new theme for the 2012 election this week by holding a meeting with university leaders on Monday, giving a speech in Kansas on Tuesday and by lobbying to win a high-stakes Senate vote on Thursday. President Barack Obama\u00c2\u2019s Kansas speech will show ‘his vision of an America where everyone engages in fair play, does their fair share and gets a fair shot,\u2019 Josh Earnest, Obama\u00c2\u2019s principal deputy press secretary, said in a Sunday press briefing. The new slogan sidelines older themes, including ‘we can\u00c2\u2019t wait\u2019 and ‘pass this bill.\u2019 …” So Obama\u2019s “vision of an America where everyone engages in fair play, does their fair share and gets a fair shot,'” which translated means:<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re gonna take it from the producers and give it away to those of you who don\u2019t do anything.” Well, get ready. There\u2019s a 12-point list of things here that lists the efforts involved, and number 12 is this one. “His vision of an America where everyone engages in fair play, does their fair share and gets a fair shot.” So it\u2019s socialism on the agenda, furthering the notion that people who work and produce are the enemy, and encouraging voters to vote for him on the basis of he is going to continue to take from the winners — well, the producers. Teddy Roosevelt was a 1%-er, by the way. He was from a very rich family, and he was one of the first progressive Republicans, by the way. Just so you know. <\/p>\n

(McCain impression) “Yeah, yeah, that\u2019s my model! That\u2019s my hero. Teddy Roosevelt, yeah, yeah, Rough Riders, Cuba, yeah, taking it to Castro! “<\/p>\n
No, Castro wasn\u2019t alive yet.<\/p>\n
(McCain) “Well, you know what I mean!”<\/p>\n
Robert, San Diego, California, welcome, sir, to the EIB Network. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n
RUSH: And Teddy Roosevelt won a Nobel prize, too. Yes, Robert, hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi. Can I make two points with you today?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, make three.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I just wanted to point out I\u2019m a software engineer who\u2019s been unemployed for almost a year. I\u2019m finding that a lot of the IT jobs that I wanted are being outsourced to India. Even if the Democrats got everything they wanted with the class warfare, their payroll tax and everything else —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n
CALLER: — it still doesn\u2019t do any good for the jobs.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: America is still not competitive with the world, and at the same time — could I make my second point? — I just wanted to point out —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Obama is, by the way, Obama is not trying to make America competitive with the world. Obama is presiding over our decline. Obama thinks we need to be punished because we have made a profit off of the world. In the past.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I agree. And if I could, on my second point.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I just wanted to point out that with Romney, we may win in the short term, but in the long run I think we lose. I blame George Bush a lot for the reason why we have Obama. He never defended himself or conservative ideas. I see the same thing in Romney. He doesn\u2019t advocate conservative positions, and he only speaks up when it\u2019s to his benefit or he has to.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I think Romney tries to express fealty to conservatism. He uses the word. He describes himself as conservative, and he cites examples of it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Is he an advocate of it?<\/p>\n
