RUSH: Jay Carney (the one guy in Washington who wishes he had said “no” when the job offer was made, is no doubt Jay Carney) is the White House press secretary. NBC White House correspondent Mike Viqueira asked, “Any thought to postponing the Latin American trip?” This is the Rio vacation this weekend. NBC didn\u2019t want to characterize it as that but we will. Any chance Obama will postpone the vacation to Rio this weekend?<\/p>\n

CARNEY: We are… uh… We still very much plan to — t-to take the trip. I — I — I just want to emphasize with all… We are leaving on schedule on — on — on Friday. The… It bears repeating that this is a crisis, there is no question about it, and it is a crisis in Japan. It is not a crisis in the United States.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, it\u2019s Japan\u2019s crisis; it\u2019s not Obama\u2019s crisis. We\u2019re going to Rio! <\/p>\n

Let Bush say it! (laughing) <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a crisis. There\u2019s no question about it. It\u2019s a crisis in Japan, not a crisis in the US. We\u2019re going to Rio! Jay Carney. (laughing) <\/p>\n

You remember Rahm Emanuel, “Never let a crisis go to waste”? Everybody remembers that. We saw that mentality after that horrible incident in Tucson, when the left immediately turned that into a political platform to condemn conservatives, including yours truly, and we may see it again in this crisis in Japan. Some liberals in Congress are pointing to this terrible and tragic situation, using it for political leverage to advance their own anti-nuclear agenda. Ed Markey (Democrat-Massachusetts) even called for a moratorium on all new nuclear reactors. Our good buddies at the Heritage Foundation have an opinion on this. It\u2019s posted at AskHeritage.org. It\u2019s there for you to read and get their analysis. <\/p>\n

They say that this agenda\u2019s wrong, of course, not to mention harmful to our energy supply. Doing so would just be a huge blunder, as big a blunder is when the regime put a moratorium on offshore drilling after the Deepwater Horizon explosion. But that\u2019s what Obama does. Every event is turned into an attempt to advance their political agenda. That\u2019s why he\u2019s going to Rio! Mission accomplished! “Nuclear problems? Problem solved in America. I don\u2019t have to worry about trying to placate anybody by making \u2019em think I actually am for nuclear. Call up my buddy, Ed Markey; get Ed Markey to start running down the business, and that\u2019s it, and, in the meanwhile, I go to Rio and hope that Gisele Bundchen is still there.” <\/p>\n

Crises are terrible time to make policy. That\u2019s what Obama\u2019s doing. It\u2019s just not appropriate given the lack of information we have. It\u2019s unseemly to use these crises for political gain.<\/p>\n
