RUSH: It\u2019s clear that Obama does want to win, and it is clear that he\u2019s… Grab sound bite number eight. This is what he said last night in New York City. He was at a campaign event, and outside he\u2019s got the Occupy Wall Street people protesting, a hundred of them, and they\u2019re all bent outta shape. They feel betrayed because he\u2019s raising money from the people they hate. He\u2019s raising money from the 1%. Here\u2019s what he said. He said, “Real change, big change is hard. It takes time. It takes more than a single term. It may take more than a single president.” This is Obama. And then this is the same place he said, “Look, I\u2019m gonna need a second term to fully implement health care. I can\u2019t be dispatched now. It\u2019s gonna take time.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exactly what I told you they were gonna do: “You can\u2019t change horses midstream; it was much worse than I thought.” He\u2019s sending a message here: “Look, progressives, you want the same thing I want. We want to totally transform this country. We want to bring about a socialist command-and-control state. I can\u2019t do it in one term! I just can\u2019t do it all in one term. It\u2019s not as easy as I thought it was gonna be. I need another term, and it may take Biden in 2016 succeeding me. It may take more than me!” He\u2019s probably pulling what little hair he\u2019s got left out, saying, “What more can I do? My gosh, I gave you health care; nobody else gave you that. I\u2019ve got all this stimulus spending. I have created all this unemployment. I have totally destroyed the private sector economy. I\u2019ve gonna the public sector like crazy. All the teachers are getting their pensions and all the firemen and everybody else. These federal workers are getting their pensions for not working, retire at ten years old and forget it. What more do you want?”<\/line><\/p>\n

\"original\"And of course the left can never be happy no matter what they get. Before we go to the break here and grab more phone calls, I want to go back to this James Taranto piece that I quoted earlier<\/a> in which he said: “Why would Democrats advertise that they\u2019re giving up on the ‘white working class\u2019?” He writes, “As we noted in August, the summer\u2019s debt-ceiling deal left these people thoroughly demoralized. Some of them blamed the American people, some blamed Tea Party ‘terrorists,\u2019 some blamed Obama — but all had the sense that Obama was a loser. The rise of the so-called Occupy Wall Street movement, combined with Obama\u2019s more confrontational tone, lifted their mood, but it was a temporary high.<\/line><\/p>\n

“The urban encampments turned out to be squalid Obamavilles, not an American Arab Spring or a liberal Tea Party. Most of them are gone now, victims of bad weather or health-and-safety ordinances. And with Obama having scored few victories on Capitol Hill or in public opinion, the left could return to its summer funk any day. It is important for them not to believe that all is lost — that Obama still has a credible shot at re-election. Openly ceding the WWC to the GOP, even if it actually ends up harming Obama\u2019s re-election prospects, may be the price these strategists feel they have to pay in order to make credible their claim that Obama has any path to victory at all.” That sounds pretty bleak, doesn\u2019t it? They have to advertise abandoning the working white class voters in order to give them any chance at all at winning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
