RUSH: Even Tina Brown is out there saying, (paraphrasing) “I don\u2019t think we ought to let Chris Christie run because look what happened to Obama. Turns out Obama wasn\u2019t ready.” Obama wasn\u2019t ready, says Tina Brown, social doyenne of New York, by the way. She\u2019s the Sally Quinn of New York. And Tina Brown, it\u2019s interesting, remember my faux heart scare when I was in Hawaii? I think the day that happened or the day after she just jumped all over my case calling me the bad fairy for ruining the celebration of Obama\u2019s immaculation by suggesting that I hope he failed. <\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is yesterday on Scarborough\u2019s show on MSNBC. This is on Christie\u2019s reluctance to run. Tina Brown\u2019s the editor of Newsweek and this is what she said.<\/p>\n
BROWN: (accent) Actually, I just hope he doesn\u2019t, because, in the end, you know, his tremendous misgivings, maybe he\u2019s right. I mean we have this with Obama. He wasn\u2019t ready, it turns out.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (impression) “He wasn\u2019t ready, it turns out. Obama, he wasn\u2019t ready. Obama wasn\u2019t ready, it turns out.” Here\u2019s one of the leading fundraisers — well, I don\u2019t know fundraisers. But one of the leading supporters in the media, Tina Brown — who\u2019s known for the parties that she throws more than anything else in New York, like Sally Quinn who\u2019s known for the parties she throws in Washington, or threw. She doesn\u2019t like to throw so many \u2019cause Obama doesn\u2019t like to go to \u2019em. But nevertheless Obama (impression) “wasn\u2019t ready, it turns out,” and maybe we ought to listen to Chris Christie. He has tremendous misgivings. Maybe he\u2019s right. We had this with Obama. He wasn\u2019t ready, it turns out. So what\u2019s she saying?<\/p>\n
Obama has been a disaster! Everybody on the left knows the guy\u2019s been a disaster, and what about the expectations once again? What were we all led to believe about this guy before he even was elected. “Messiah! The One! A person unlike any who had come before him! A unifier! The world was going to love America once again. Utopia!” Well, balanced against reality, Obama\u2019s an abject failure. Same thing happened. All those high expectations and then reality set in, and we have the least qualified guy in any room he walks into, as president — and even the left now have to admit, he “wasn\u2019t ready.” Same Tina Brown, by the way — let\u2019s go back — on the Today Show New Year\u2019s Eve on 2009, Erin Burnett was hosting, said to Tina Brown, what do you think was the most important moment of 2009?<\/p>\n
BROWN: It\u2019s gotta be that incredible inauguration of Obama.<\/p>\n
ERIN BURNETT: Mmm.<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TinaBrownObamaNotReady.jpg\"\/)
<\/p>\n
BURNETT: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n
BROWN: At that moment sort of like the Pandora\u2019s Box opened and the rest of the year has been just this big discord and toxic atmosphere in politics and part-ee-sahn (sic) divide and people shouting at each other and the Tea Parties and death panels and all of the stuff —<\/p>\n
BURNETT: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n
BROWN: — that took us into the year where now — where we just got the health care bill probably about to be passed with no Republican votes at all.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What does that matter? What does the health care bill have to have Republican votes for? It didn\u2019t need any Republican votes to pass. Any Republican who voted for it would have been toast by now, anyway. But see, I came along and I ruined everything. They had this giant fantasy planned. “Sleeping Beauty\u2019s christening” is what she calls the Obama immaculation. I came along and destroyed it by saying I hope he fails. And from that moment Pandora\u2019s box opened and the rest of the year was destroyed with “part-ee-sahn-ship,” as she said, sort of sort of like Pelosi pronounces it “swah-sti-kah,” she says “part-ee-sahn-ship,” with a P. We highly trained broadcast specialists gotta make sure that we don\u2019t let Jimmy Hoffa re-channel this. That was partisan-ship, with a P.<\/p>\n
Of course it works the other way, too. Toxic atmospheric in politics, the partisan divide and people shouting at each other, Tea Parties and death panels and so forth, I came along and ruined it. I deserve thanks instead of the grief. I can understand the grief. I was the only one who dared speak out about it. At any rate, every day, folks, what you have here is the left, whether they intend it or not, admitting that this president, Obama, is just nowhere near what they thought. And why is that? In Obama\u2019s defense, let me say something here. Ms. Brown, how dare you attack Obama. He\u2019s given you everything you want. He\u2019s destroyed the private sector. He has upped federal spending. He\u2019s got this country in debt three generations full. <\/p>\n
I mean, for crying out loud, Ms. Brown, there are sperm cells in infants who have already seen all of their lifetime income taxed, spent. And they haven\u2019t even met the egg that\u2019s gonna fertilize the baby that\u2019s gonna pay all those taxes. The sperm cells alone for three generations out, all their income has already been spent and taxed. You got your health care bill. You got Obama owning a couple of car companies. I think you people on the left ought to be ashamed of yourselves. This guy has done exactly what you wanted. You know why they\u2019re mad? You know why they\u2019re mad? The polls. They\u2019re mad because of the polls. They\u2019re mad because the American people don\u2019t like all this. <\/p>\n
They are mad because what\u2019s happened is they are made to realize that they are in the minority. They are made to realize that while in New York and Washington they may rule the roost, and they may think they\u2019re the cat\u2019s meow, they may think that they run the show, but nationwide they are a distinct minority, and this country doesn\u2019t want any part of what they believe or have to offer, and it\u2019s the polls that are making them mad. Not Obama. And in that sense, if they\u2019re mad at Obama at anything, it\u2019s his inability to persuade people. It\u2019s his inability to take what he was given, this massive image of a messiah, The One. Look at what he went into office with. Only one person out of 300 million dared speak out against him, 299,999,999 people love the guy, and now he\u2019s down to about five. And that\u2019s what they don\u2019t like. <\/p>\n
Look at what he squandered. He had a chance to convert this country to a socialist paradise in terms of the way the public thought about it. But the way he\u2019s gone about it has sent people running the other direction, the precious independents, even some Jewish voters, some black voters, running away from Obama and running away from liberalism. So they\u2019re mad at him because he has tarnished Marxism. He has tarnished liberalism. He has tarnished and perhaps destroyed the one opportunity they thought they had to create a majority opinion approving, thinking, and supporting liberalism, Marxism, Socialism. That\u2019s why they\u2019re mad at him.<\/p>\n
If they would separate it out, they would have to say he\u2019s done a bang-up job, look at what he\u2019s done, it\u2019s going to take us years and many elections to roll this back and recover from it. The debt, the spending, if he gets anywhere near what he wants with these tax increases, folks, this is dead serious stuff. This is what the people of this country now realize. That\u2019s why Tina Brown\u2019s mad. That\u2019s why all these liberals are mad. They\u2019re mad that Obama squandered all that love, that he squandered all that support, that he squandered all of the affection this country had for him, because in the process, what has happened? There is now a blight on the whole concept of socialism, Marxism, liberalism. That\u2019s why they want to cancel elections, because they lose them. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the lede of an AP news story! This sounds like the lede from Tiger Beat or some teenage girl magazine! “Remember when…” and it\u2019s written by Erica Werner, the chickification of the news. “Remember when Barack Obama first ran for president and people were really into him? Obama remembers it, too, but not the same way some of his supporters do. Bidding for re-election in tough economic times, Obama says there is some ‘revisionist history\u2019 going on about how great that first race was.” So they\u2019re out there. The author here thinks President Obama\u2019s depressed because the realities of governing and all the compromises that he\u2019d had to make; the nonstop Republican attacks have kept him from fulfilling his promise to unite the country.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not his fault. That 2008 when we were really into it him…? See, the reason I bring this to your attention is because the reason the left is mad at Obama is because he has made their side look bad. It really is no more complicated than that. That\u2019s why Tina Brown\u2019s speaking out and that\u2019s why any number of leftists are now speaking out, and why you see rumblings of Hillary out there. They\u2019re not upset with what he\u2019s done. My God, if we had had a conservative implementing this much conservatism in two-and-a-half years, we\u2019d be hoisting the guy up on a throne!<\/p>\n
My gosh, these people have had a 100-year quest for national health care. They got it, and they\u2019re still ticked off. They\u2019re ticked off over things like we\u2019re still in Afghanistan, still in Iraq. They\u2019re ticked off \u2019cause Obama doesn\u2019t talk against the Republicans like they want him to, but they\u2019re still upset at the polls. Obama has squandered the opportunity to make socialism the majority of thinking in this country. Instead, what he\u2019s done is ignited majority opposition to it. That\u2019s what they\u2019re ticked off about. He\u2019s making \u2019em look bad! It\u2019s no more complicated than that. “Remember when Barack Obama first ran for president and people were really into him?” (snorts) That\u2019s the lede of a news story!<\/p>\n
They\u2019re upset, folks, for reasons you wouldn\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
