The thing I want you to do, as you listen, is think about what you\u2019ve heard from the Democrats since last week ? the whining and moaning and bellyaching. They didn\u2019t even know what was in this proposal and they were attacking it viciously. <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/as_close_as_we_ll_get_to_president_limbaugh.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"202\" height=\"164\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> On the other hand, here is a man speaking positively and confidently. He\u2019s very upbeat about his country and about you &#8211; the people who make it work. He talked about tax cuts as a benefit, not a cost. It was a great speech. This could be, my friends, as close as we\u2019re ever going to get to me as president of the United States. <\/line><BR\/>Just contrast his view of this country with that expressed by the Democrats and liberals the past four or five days and ask, &#8220;Which side would you rather be on, and in which side do you have more confidence in?&#8221; <\/line><BR\/>We\u2019ll see if the news media gives the same full-frontal coverage to the Bush plan that they gave the Democrat plan on Monday. Right after the speech, the Clinton News Network trotted out John Edwards to criticize the Bush plan. Tom Daschle came right out to bash it as well. I welcome this. I hope they keep it up through the night, because these guys can\u2019t hold a candle to Bush. Compared to the president, these guys are all going to look petty and small.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&amp;lt;*ICON*> <strong>Read More of Rush\u2019s Brilliance&#8230;<\/strong><\/line><BR\/>&amp;lt;a target=new href=&#8221;\/\/home\/eibessential.member.html&#8221;>(&#8230;right here in Rush 24\/7\u2019s EIB Essential Stack of Stuff)&amp;lt;\/a><\/line><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/as_close_as_we_ll_get_to_president_limbaugh.Par.0006.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the audio link below, you can hear my live, spontaneous running commentary on the president\u2019s remarks.
