“Economists were expecting the rate to be revised down to 1.1%, according to consensus estimates from Briefing.com.” Imagine that, economists getting it wrong! I\u2019m stunned. I can\u2019t believe it. And then we\u2019re told in this story that the slowdown\u2019s here to stay. The slowdown is here to stay. If that\u2019s true (and I think you and I know that it is) what does this portend for the presidential campaign? Dirt. Pure, unadulterated dirt. The regime cannot and will not run on its record. The best that this regime can hope for is to say that their record would have been astoundingly good were it not for Republican obstructionism, but that\u2019s gonna be a tough sell because the Republican presidential nominee will have had nothing to do with any obstructionism.<\/p>\n
The second point is, there wasn\u2019t any! The Republicans didn\u2019t have the numbers to stop anything. There wasn\u2019t any obstructionism. Obama and the Democrats got everything they could get. They could have gotten more if they themselves had been unified. If this slowdown is here to stay, Obama is gone — unless he can create so much unrest and chaos throughout the culture. I personally am very worried and concerned for what\u2019s gonna be happening one year from now, nine months from now in this country, \u2019cause that\u2019s all they\u2019re gonna have at their disposal. They can\u2019t run on their record. They can\u2019t run on, “We know what we\u2019re doing, just give us more time.” All they can hope to do is try to destroy whoever the Republican nominee is and create so much hell…<\/p>\n
Think Chicago \u201968, Democrat convention, nationwide. Think that. That\u2019s what has me concerned. Think race card. These people will play it. They\u2019re already starting to. Somebody said to me, “Rush, I\u2019m really worried there are gonna be race riots.” There are. What do you think these flash mobs are? There already are race riots taking place. Small, in comparison. They\u2019re not reported as such, but they\u2019re happening. “Sixty-three percent disapprove of Obama\u2019s handling of the economy.” This the AP-GfK poll: “President Obama began the summer, 52% job approval, 46% disapproval. Numbers that mirrored his performance in the 2008 election. He ends the summer with 47% approval and 52% disapproval.”<\/p>\n
In Gallup, it\u2019s at 38% approval. We know the AP is adding ten points just because they like the guy. However, even in the AP poll here 63% disapprove of Obama\u2019s handling of the economy; 92% say the economy is an extremely or very important issue. Eighty-six percent say the economy is bad. Seventy-five percent think the nation\u2019s headed in the wrong direction. If the slowdown is here to stay, Obama\u2019s gone unless Obama can do something or his party or the regime can do something to create so much… I don\u2019t even know what the word is. I have to be very careful about it. Unrest? Anything is possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
RUSH: “Economic growth second quarter slightly weaker than previously estimated.” Slightly.
