RUSH: All right, let\u2019s listen. This is, I guess, the joint press conference yesterday in London at Lancaster House; David Cameron, the PM, joining President Obama. Reporter said, “Mr. President, you\u2019ve talked about the need for robust action on your country\u2019s deficit and debt positions. Do you agree with the Prime Minister\u2019s supporters that he led the way on the issue, or do you feel that in fact he\u2019s traveled too far and too fast?” <\/p>\n

OBAMA: One thing that I\u2019m absolutely clear about is David and I want to arrive at the same point, a point in which we\u2019re making sure that our governments are doing what they need to do to ensure broad-based prosperity.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: The other point I think David and I would agree on is that this is going to be a constant process of trying some things, making adjustments. There are gonna be opportunities for us to make investments. There are gonna other areas where we think those were good ideas at the time, programs that were started with the best of intentions and it turns out they\u2019re not working as well as they should. If a program\u2019s not working well we should get rid of it and put that money into programs that are working well. It means that we\u2019ve gotta make sure that we take a balanced approach and that there\u2019s a mix of cuts but also thinking about how do we generate revenue so that there\u2019s a match between money goin\u2019 out and money comin\u2019 in.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (pause) Hmm? (pause) Sorry, folks, I don\u2019t think there was any “there” there. Okay, that was pretty meandering. That was wandering aimlessly in vain search of a coherent thought, and I don\u2019t think he found one. That was just gobbledygook. On Libya, another reporter: “Mr. President, you\u2019ve said that Moammar Khadafy\u2019s exit from Libya is inevitable and that the US will continue with the campaign until his attacks stop. Does that also mean that you will commit the US to that campaign until Khadafy\u2019s removed from power, and would you be willing to commit additional US resources if that meant speeding up Khadafy\u2019s exit?”<\/p>\n

OBAMA: The reason that we intervened in Libya was to protect people on the ground, uhh, and to give the Libyan people the space that they needed in order to bring about, uhhh, a change toward democracy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The space that they needed?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: We are strongly committed to seeing the job through, making sure that at a minimum Khadafy doesn\u2019t have the capacity to send in a bunch of thugs to murder innocent civilians. So we have not put forward an — any artificial timeline in terms of how long this will take.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, you did. I mean, you said it would just take “days” at the outset. You said it would just take days. Yeah, you said “weeks, not months.” That\u2019s right, “weeks, not months,” and now it\u2019s open-ended. “Well, there\u2019s no timeline on this. No timeline on it. We gotta give the Libyan people the space that they need to bring about a change toward democracy.” We have to give the Libyan people space? It\u2019s Khadafy that\u2019s gotta give \u2019em the space. I think that\u2019s right! Obama is the one that ran against Bush for not having a timeline to get out of Iraq. He wanted a timeline for exiting Iraq. And now, “Well, we can\u2019t be bound by timelines. Of course that\u2019s artificial.” Let\u2019s listen to one from Cameron. Cameron wanted to get in on the Khadafy answer after that.<\/p>\n

CAMERON: I so agree that the two key things here are patience and persistence. In terms of the US role, I would make this point which I\u2019m not sure is widely understood in Britain or in Europe. Already a huge number of the sorties and the support and the air assets that are actually bringing the pressure to bear are US assets. There was this enormous effort at the beginning as the president said, but also a sustained amount of assets that have been used — and as the president said, there are also unique assets and capabilities that the US has that others don\u2019t have that are so vital. We all have to ask: What is it that we can all do to make sure the pressure is really brought to bear?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, now, you could take this any number of ways. But it sounds to me like the Prime Minister here, when he says, ” Already a huge number of the sorties and the support and the air assets that are actually bringing the pressure to bear are US assets.” It sounds to me like Cameron wants everybody to know (paraphrased): “You know, this operation, you guys aren\u2019t that much on the sidelines. The American people are being told that you\u2019re kinda on the sidelines, that NATO, the UN, whoever else running this show, but a lot of US assets are behind this.” Cameron\u2019s making it clear here just how involved the United States is. By the way, Snerdley you got the quote on Obama wrong. Here\u2019s was the actual quote. March 21st, Obama was in Santiago, Chile…<\/p>\n

OBAMA MARCH 21: Let me emphasize that we anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You thought it was “weeks, not months.” He said “days, not weeks.” Right, and it\u2019s now been months with no end in sight \u2019cause any end in sight is an artificial timeline. But don\u2019t forget: He was insistent that Bush tell us exactly when we\u2019re getting out of Iraq.<\/p>\n
