RUSH: The Drive-By Media, the regime ecstatic. “New claims for U.S. jobless benefits fell sharply last week to their lowest level since April although…” There\u2019s always an “although” or a “but.” “although a Labor Department official said government statisticians had problems seasonally adjusting the data.” Well, then why publish the news? “New claims for U.S. jobless benefits fell sharply last week to their lowest level since April although a Labor Department official said government statisticians had problems seasonally adjusting the data.” Every week, every month, every quarter we get government reports that are revised in the next cycle. They\u2019re never accurate, so why publish them? What\u2019s the hurry to put out bad numbers? In this case they think they\u2019re good numbers. <\/p>\n

The number of claims is under 400,000, but they don\u2019t know for sure, which they even admit. It doesn\u2019t matter anyway. It\u2019s just to get the number out there because they know that\u2019s all that will be remembered about this. And that\u2019s all we\u2019re going to say about it. Because here\u2019s companion news from a Pew study: “Hispanics Make Up Largest Group of Children in Poverty.” Hispanic children are now the largest group of kids who only have one cell phone, “marking the first time in U.S. history that poor white children are outnumbered by another race or ethnicity.” It\u2019s just not fair. <\/line><\/p>\n

The majority of poor people are white kids and now all of a sudden it\u2019s Hispanic for the first time and that just isn\u2019t fair. This is from the Pew Hispanic Center and this is another feather in Obama\u2019s already festooned hat, folks. This is exactly the kind of news he needs. The Democrats need poor dependent people if they\u2019re going to stay in business, and if we don\u2019t have enough poverty at home, we\u2019ll import it. That\u2019s what our open borders policy is all about. Importing poverty and importing the number of potential registered voters for the Democrat Party. <\/line><\/p>\n

By the way, big news out of Venezuela, and it\u2019s really contradictory. The first bit of news is from the UK Telegraph: “Hugo Chavez, who has been fighting cancer, was rushed to a military hospital for emergency care following kidney failure,” and it\u2019s reportedly very, very bad. Then there\u2019s an AP story that says Chavez is calling everybody denying it. “No, don\u2019t believe these rumors. The president\u2019s fine.” “I\u2019m going to be out of here pretty soon. I\u2019m going to have licked this cancer.” It doesn\u2019t matter. The Chavez regime is denying that he\u2019s been hospitalized, saying the earlier reports are just a bunch of jokes or hyperbole or sarcasm, like Beverly Perdue says that she was just being sarcastic with her comment that congressional elections be suspended. <\/p>\n

You know who is really following this story? The Drive-Bys. The Drive-Bys are doing some interesting things here. The Drive-Bys are not letting this Bev Perdue story go. The local Drive-Bys in Raleigh, in North Carolina, and the national State-Controlled Media. It\u2019s almost like they want to get rid of this woman. They\u2019re harping on this as though she were a Republican. I mean the locals tried to cover for her, but the Obama-Controlled Media is not letting up. <\/p>\n

And ABC News, a long story here in a sec, ABC News <\/a>is going after the regime on all of these solar energy companies that are being lent money by the taxpayers and the crony connections they have. All of these people getting the money are big bundlers or donors to Obama. The numbers are incredible, not only the amount of money being given away, but to whom, the ties they have to energy department. ABC News is leading the pack on this. This story is quite lengthy. I\u2019ll get to it as the program unfolds before your eyes and ears. <\/p>\n

Another story here, this one from Gallup. “Democrats Dispirited About Voting in 2012.” This is bad news for the President. “The Democrats\u2019 net enthusiasm now trails Republicans\u2019 net enthusiasm.” The way Gallup writes this, the Democrat net enthusiasm is plus one. The Republican net enthusiasm is plus 28. So there\u2019s a 27 percentage point advantage in enthusiasm, voter enthusiasm for the Republicans. “Given that President Obama\u2019s job approval rating continues to hover around 40% and that he appears vulnerable in the general election, it is not surprising that Democrats are currently less enthusiastic than Republicans about voting in 2012.”<\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been trying to give you reasons why I\u2019m right in speculating how bad it really is for Obama. Their internal polling shows his approval numbers and his re-elect numbers, they\u2019re far worse than what is being reported by the news media polling unit. And I think the fact that he\u2019s saying and doing the things he\u2019s doing in the campaign, the class warfare business trying to shore up the base, yesterday showing up at a Washington high school with nothing but black students in the frame sitting behind him. That\u2019s never been done before. It\u2019s always been a diverse group, mostly white students sitting behind him. Now, because the Congressional Black Caucasians are not happy with Obama, he\u2019s got to shore that up. <\/p>\n

Now you\u2019ve got this voter enthusiasm thing. And this is Gallup and the regime would tend to believe this. So what we\u2019ve seen is the New York Times and a number of other State-Controlled Media outlets, worried that Obama is taking their ideology with him down the tubes. And they don\u2019t want their ideology going down. They don\u2019t want socialism, Marxism, liberalism being discredited here. And if they have to jettison Obama in order to save the ideology, they\u2019ll do that. Obama is failing his own party right now. <\/p>\n

So let\u2019s give you a little timeline. Rush Limbaugh, January 2009: “I hope he fails.” Democrats, Gallup poll 2011: “We know he failed. Rush was right again. Damn!” That\u2019s the timeline, here. By the way, this “Democrats Dispirited About Voting in 2012,” it doesn\u2019t matter who the Republican nominee is. This is a generic thing. It\u2019s not Obama versus Herman Cain or Obama versus Perry or Obama versus Christie. No, it\u2019s just Obama versus “a Republican.” What this points out here is if Obama ran against Herman Cain if the election was held tomorrow, Cain might very well win. Why? Because Democrat voters have bedroom-slipper intensity and the rest of us have marching-shoe intensity. You know, the regime likes to look at things in intensity of shoes.<\/p>\n

They have their other shoe strategy for the Palestinians and Israelis, and Obama\u2019s out there telling The Congressional Black Caucasians that they\u2019ve gotta get out of their bedroom slippers and into their marching shoes. Well, we never have been in our bedroom slippers. Our marching boots are on each and every day. Now, Herman Cain may trail Obama by a few points in a head-to-head poll that\u2019s out there right now, but voter enthusiasm is so strong for Republicans and so weak for Democrats that Cain (if the election were tomorrow) might very well overcome his current deficit from the polling data, as it seems might any other Republican. I\u2019m just harping on Herman Cain because that tends to irritate the Democrats the most.<\/p>\n

Janeane Garofalo, well-known high-foreheaded comedienne, is out there saying the Republican support for Herman Cain is just to mask their racism. It\u2019s sort of a twist on the “Magic Negro” thinking that a bunch of guilty white liberals voted for Obama because they felt guilty and they didn\u2019t want anybody thinking they were racist and they wanted to get rid of the nation\u2019s racist heritage. So they voted for him with no other concerns being given any weight. So now the theory is that Republican support for Herman Cain is just to hide the fact that Republican voters are a bunch of racists, and to diffuse people of thinking we\u2019re racist we\u2019ll support Herman Cain. (interruption)<\/p>\n

No. You mean, other than looking at things through the prism of race? (interruption) No. That\u2019s an excellent point, El Snerdbo. The prism through which Democrats look at everything is identity. They see skin color first then they see gender and then they see sexual orientation. Yeah, they tend to put everybody in a group and then make that group victims of something. It is. That\u2019s a good point. That is how they look at the world. Anyway, the Gallup poll here says, “Republicans\u2019 enthusiasm for voting matches 2004 and exceeds 2008.” It doesn\u2019t talk too much here about 2010 — understandably so, because in 2010 the enthusiasm for the Republicans was off the chart.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, one of the major reasons that the media to the extent… Like ABC. ABC<\/a> is treating this Solyndra business as though the president were a Republican. I\u2019m going to get to this as the program unfolds. I\u2019m not trying to tease you with it. I\u2019m just trying to stay organized here, and it\u2019s coming up when I say it\u2019s coming up. But they\u2019re going after him here on this and ABC is taking the lead and others are picking it up. Very slowly, but it\u2019s starting to happen. And I think a major reason why is that the State-Controlled Media and the Congressional Black Caucasians are really laying into Obama. They don\u2019t want him moving to the center. They want him out there on the left edge. They want him defending and promoting the ideology. They don\u2019t want him doing anything that waters it down.<\/p>\n

They are convinced that it will win. They\u2019re convinced that if he moves to the center he will lose, and they want an Obama re-election to be a triumph of their ideology. It\u2019s a warning shot, actually, is what this is. It says, “Barack, there\u2019s going to be more of this unless you stay true to the cause.” It\u2019s just my two cents, but of course you know my two cents is worth anybody else\u2019s dollar bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
