I assume she was talking about a showdown between herself and Obama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Mark Halperin had said this about George W. Bush, would the media be falling all over themselves to apologize? No.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s only one reason to play the Fear or the Race or the Sick Children or the Homophobe Card, and that is when you have a losing hand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;CBS\/New York Times poll: 63% of the country believe it is headed in the wrong direction. Only 28% think it\u2019s headed in the right direction. If the election were tomorrow, this is a slam-dunk landslide of historic proportions. That\u2019s how bad it is, and in the White House, they know it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, in this game of debt ceiling poker Obama kept the one card he\u2019s bluffed his way through life with, the Emotional Ploy Card.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obama claims to be worried about our kids and our sick grandmothers, but in reality he\u2019s worried about having an adult discussion of a serious problem that\u2019s covered with his fingerprints.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obama can brag that his pre-teenage daughters don\u2019t wait \u2019til the last minute to finish their homework while he hasn\u2019t even turned in last year\u2019s budget &#8212; and he gets their ages wrong!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s really one group of people working to try to bring this country out of the mess it\u2019s in, and it\u2019s the Republicans in the House and the Senate. They\u2019re the ones working, and the other party is simply reacting and ankle-biting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The president of the United States says we cannot cut our way to prosperity. We can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trust me, I know what I\u2019m talking about &#8212; and I\u2019m not talking about golf; I\u2019m talking about just the pressure to perform, meet and surpass expectations, and Tiger Woods did that. But now every time he goes on the golf course, he knows that everybody looking at him (and they are in the millions) knows that all of what &#8216;was\u2019 was fabricated. I can\u2019t imagine what that must be like, but I have to tell you: I think Barack Obama is going through much the same thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Public sector employees are paid by the taxpayers. It is not too much to ask public sector workers to contribute a little bit to their own pensions and to their own health care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How embarrassingly adolescent was it for Obama to lecture Congress for being lazy? He\u2019s golfing, he\u2019s vacationing his way to irrelevancy. He\u2019s lashing out because Greek columns and godlike echoes in speeches no longer work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have fundamentally got to change the way we view our country and what the purpose of our government is, and it is not to guarantee the equality of outcomes. That\u2019s what\u2019s at stake in the next election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Too many people think that being an American means they\u2019re entitled to &#8216;benefits;\u2019 and you know what that entails: Sick days, veterinarian days, vacation days, more sick days, babysitter days, Social Security, student loans that you don\u2019t have to repay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have here a generational challenge. We have to fix this horrible mistake that was made in 2008: Electing Obama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some do want to go further into debt, every damn one of them a Democrat. As always, we will work this out, not with tear gas in the streets, but through the two political parties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Independent voters, that great swath of Hamlets who never quite know what they want, will have to cast a vote in 2012 that matters beyond the next election cycle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the universe inhabited by this generation\u2019s Democrats, public spending is life and taxes are their oxygen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thirty-nine percent of Americans believe the economy has now entered a permanent decline, meaning they don\u2019t think it\u2019s ever going to reverse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are still reasons people should be optimistic, and that\u2019s one of the reasons we are here at the EIB Network, is to try to maintain, instill, promote optimism, \u2019cause we\u2019re gonna come through this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s the Fourth of July every day here on the EIB Network. For Democrats, their Fourth of July is a April 15th. Tax collection day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I guarantee you, a Fourth of July public celebration is gonna be the next target of the left, much as nativity scenes have become a target.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What makes you happy as a Democrat? You go to a museum and you see a crucifix of Christ in a jar of urine! That\u2019s what you want to celebrate, or some performance artist laid out on a stage nude in chocolate, that\u2019s what you proclaim as your patriotism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Socialism does not create wealth. It redistributes wealth. Socialism doesn\u2019t create diddly-squat. Socialism is a parasite.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Democrats and the unions get together when they think their benefits are being cut, when their handouts are being cut, when their food stamps are about to be shut off, that\u2019s when they get patriotic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need a program to put 14 million Americans back to work. We are committed to creating jobs. The Democrats are committed to killing jobs. You decide which future you want: paychecks or food stamps.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The views expressed by the host on this program are eagerly anticipated by starving millions, thirsting for truth. It is provided free each and every day here from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How many thousands of dollars a year does it take to send your young skull full of mush off to Harvard to be corrupted, indoctrinated into a young skull full of liberalism?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Michele Bachmann complained the news media just wants to see two girls have a mud wrestling fight.
