RUSH: Obama\u2019s big speech tonight, and he\u2019s going to sound, according to the Politico, he\u2019s going to sound Reaganesque. Bob Gibbs, the most brilliant and competent ever White House spokesman has hinted at a Reaganesque speech. Now, how can that be? Because he\u2019s not Reagan. I don\u2019t care what anybody says, he\u2019s not Reagan. I thought the ear of Reagan was over. I\u2019ll tell you, folks, this makes my blood boil. The dumb idiots on our side of the aisle, in our media, got this whole business started, the Reagan era is over, that conservatism is over, that you can go ahead and be a conservative, but you better not say it as a conservative, you better sound moderate while you\u2019re being a conservative. The era of Reagan is over. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, every damn Democrat that wants to get something done in this country tries to act like Ronald Reagan. Our side has forced us to give up Ronald Reagan, or they have tried to make us give up Reagan, which we aren\u2019t going to do. There is no way Barack Obama, who has never voted for anything conservative in his life, can ever be called Reaganesque, just like he\u2019s not Lincolnesque and he\u2019s not FDR. He\u2019s closer to that than anyone else. Gonna sound like Reagan. If he tries to do Reagan, and be all optimistic and sunny, it\u2019s to get his approval numbers up and nothing else. And, by the way, polling data, the Drive-Bys both in the UK, the Washington Post, the New York Times, are carrying the water on how his numbers, approval numbers are way up. It\u2019s not true. His approval numbers are down. His disapproval numbers are higher than ever at 24%. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: From CNN, a new national poll. We got polling data coming out every bodily orifice here and wherever Monica Lewinsky is. ‘A new national poll indicates that most Americans think President Barack Obama will give a good speech [to]night, but expectations are not as high as they were for his inaugural address.\u2019 Who gives a rat\u2019s rear end what the public\u2019s expectations of his stupid propaganda speech are? I have never seen this. This stuff is getting more outrageous every day — and now this ‘Reaganesque\u2019 speech. ‘President Barack Obama won\u2019t speak until prime-time, but his aides fanned out to the morning shows Tuesday morning to talk up his first speech before a joint session of Congress. And the word they used to preview it: ‘Reaganesque.\u2019 <\/p>\n

”The president believes very clearly that we have to be honest with the American people about where we are,\u2019 White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said on MSNBC…\u2019 Whoa! Reagan was honest? This is the first time I\u2019ve heard this. I thought Reagan lied! It frosts me. The left co-ops our guy while dummkopf, idiot, brain-dead, pseudo-intellectuals on our side tell us the Era of Reagan is over. Obama is not Reaganesque; he\u2019s Big Brotheresque. He\u2019s Orwellian. You need to put a sign on your TV tonight watching the speech: ‘He means the opposite of what he says. He\u2019s saying what he thinks you want to hear.\u2019 ‘Confidence in the…\u2019 This is Rasmussen. ‘Confidence in the [Porkulus] plan has fallen four points in the week since Obama signed it into law.<\/p>\n

‘More voters are prepared to punish their representatives for supporting it.\u2019 Here we have the purpose of the speech tonight, then. As people learn what\u2019s in this, they do not like it. ‘US Consumer Confidence Collapsed to Record Low — Confidence among U.S. consumers plunged to a record low in February, signaling spending will slump further as unemployment soars. The Conference Board\u2019s index declined more than forecast to 25 this month, the lowest level since data began in 1967…\u2019 Consumer confidence is at an all-time low. This is, frankly, folks, exactly what the Democrats want. This is exactly what they want: chaos. They want defeatism. They want you in despair at Washington, at Obama\u2019s administration. <\/p>\n

They want you in despair and giving up. They want you hopeless. They want you thinking there\u2019s no way out. They want all opposition to give up. Now, let\u2019s get to the approval polls. This is just one example, but the New York Times and the Washington Post are carrying similar water. The communist publication in the UK, The Guardian: ‘Barack Obama delivers his first presidential address to Congress tonight still basking in a political honeymoon with the voters, according to the latest polls. A month into his term, more than three-quarters of people in a New York Times\/CBS News [propaganda poll] said they were optimistic about the next four years with him as president.\u2019 <\/p>\n

I. Don\u2019t. Believe. That. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s not possible. Seventy-five percent? I don\u2019t know anybody who\u2019s optimistic. Do you? I know people who love Obama, but do you know anybody who\u2019s optimistic? What the hell\u2019s the purpose this speech tonight? Obama\u2019s not even optimistic! Obama\u2019s been talking people out of their optimism. Seventy-five percent are optimistic? That\u2019s an absolute crock. Of all places, the Los Angeles Times today and Andrew Malcolm (who\u2019s a blogger) puts these polls into perspective. ‘Barack Obama\u2019s poll numbers have slid almost 10% already. According to the latest Gallup Poll, the new president\u2019s approval rating of 68% in January has slipped now to 63%, about average for recent new presidents one month in.\u2019 Nothing special here. ‘What isn\u2019t average, however, is Obama\u2019s new disapproval rating — 24%, or 50% higher than the 16% average for a month-old new presidency. And it\u2019s twice the 12% disapproval rate that Obama had last month.\u2019 So the truth is that while he\u2019s got a whatever it is, a 63% approval number, it\u2019s down from the eighties. <\/p>\n

His disapproval, it\u2019s 24%, eight points higher than the average, 16%. It\u2019s twice what he had last month, which was 12%. ‘While liberal and independent support has held fairly steady, the rookie chief executive\u2019s approval among Republicans has plunged from 41% to 30%, presumably tied at least somewhat to growing awareness of the [Porkulus] program. The drop has been especially steep among conservatives, from 36% at inauguration to 22% now. Additionally, Obama\u2019s support has weakened among middle-class Americans…\u2019 You will not see this written anywhere else but Andrew Malcolm at the Los Angeles Times;\u2019 and this is a blog, it\u2019s not in their paper. That\u2019s why… Mr. Malcolm, I must confess. I mean, he\u2019s taken his humorous shots at me, but I think he\u2019s overall, when I\u2019ve seen his pieces, he\u2019s a pretty square shooter. Andrew, I hope I\u2019m not ruining your reputation here with your colleagues. <\/p>\n

‘…Obama\u2019s support has weakened among middle-class Americans, those touted during the campaign as benefiting from his promised tax cuts. Among that working crowd, Obama\u2019s approval fell from 69% to 58%,\u2019 and so tonight he gets to go out there and be Reaganesque. He has to go out there and make his case. He gets to go out there and be upbeat and positive. We\u2019re running a little office pool here. How long will the speech be? Will it be an Obama one hour, a Hugo Chavez two hours, or a Fidel Castro three hours? Now, they had Ben Bernanke up there, chairman of the Federal Reserve, and he\u2019s testifying before the Wizards of Smart, primarily Chris Dodd. Did you hear the cheap shot that Dodd aimed at Bernanke? He asked Bernanke right off the bat, ‘What would have happened had we privatized Social Security?\u2019 These guys are constantly on the attack. <\/p>\n

By the way. By the way, there\u2019s enough polling data here now that the Republicans in Washington need to start tying all of these policies that are sending up red flags and despair to people right to Barack Obama, because I\u2019m going to tell you what. Obama\u2019s going to go out there tonight, and in the midst of being Reaganesque or trying to be, he\u2019s going to blame all this on Bush. He is gonna say, ‘Well, I mean I\u2019m — I\u2019m presenting my first budget tonight. Why… why, the Bush budget was just submitted in September,\u2019 or whenever. It will be adopted September. ‘We got nine more months to go in the Bush budget. Look at what I\u2019ve inherited. Look at what I\u2019ve inherited! Oh, look what I\u2019ve inherited. Oh, woe is me,\u2019 when he has added $2 trillion to whatever the budget was and now the Democrats are talking about another $400 billion in a new spending bill. <\/p>\n

So he\u2019s going to go out there and he\u2019s going to bash Bush as much as he can. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Lou in Ferguson, Missouri, as we go back to the phones. Lou, thank you for waiting. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How are you, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just fine, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Earlier you had mentioned in the first hour that there was a poll that 75% of the people were optimistic on, as you said, Obama\u2019s first four years in office, they were optimistic for the future. And I just opened my —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, just a second here, because I don\u2019t remember that poll. Let\u2019s go through the polls. Does that poll exist? I didn\u2019t report that poll. Hang on just a second here. I was so mad at this one, I threw it away. It\u2019s over there on the floor. I can\u2019t get it right now. Brian, why don\u2019t you come in here and pick this wadded-up piece of paper off the floor because I want to be truthful here with Lou in Ferguson, and I have to be true to my new accuracy opinion rating, 99%. Okay, hang in here with me, let me uncrumble this. (smoothing out crumpled up paper)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. CNN: ‘A new national poll indicates that most Americans think President Obama will give a good speech tonight. But expectations are not as high as they were for his inaugural address.\u2019 Now, that\u2019s silly. Expectations for his speech tonight and they\u2019re falling, they\u2019re not as high as the inauguration. What? Who? (crumpling and tossing paper) That\u2019s number one. Number two: ”Confidence in Stimulus Plan Drops.\u2019 Confidence in the economic stimulus plan has fallen four points in the week since Obama signed it into law. More voters are prepared to punish their representatives for supporting it.\u2019 Is that the one you think you heard?<\/p>\n

CALLER: You had mentioned one about 75% of the people thought they were optimistic on the future, and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, that\u2019s a New York Times poll, 75% of the American people are optimistic, here it is: ‘A month into his term more than 75% of people in a New York Times\/CBS survey said they were optimistic about the next four years with him as president.\u2019 So, yes, you\u2019re right, I discarded that and I\u2019ll tell you why, it\u2019s because it\u2019s not the real information in the poll. The real information in the poll, his approval numbers are plummeting and his disapproval numbers are rising. His numbers are above average for this time in a presidency for disapproval. They\u2019re about average for approval. So the Times is spinning the polling data here to make it look like people are just damned excited over Obama and just can\u2019t stop partying.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think the key there might be people are optimistic about the future, regardless of him being president or not. I told Mr. Snerdley, I just opened my own restaurant a few months ago, and I am extremely optimistic in the future, and I am looking forward to the next few years of being successful at opening up more locations.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but see, the way this is written: ‘A month into his term more than 75% of people in the New York Times\/CBS survey said they were optimistic about the next four years with him as president. Similar percentages said they thought he was bringing real change to the way things worked in Washington and that they had confidence in his ability to make the right –‘ this poll is about him. You know, your optimism may not have anything to do with Obama, but the point of this story in the Times is to create the impression that 75% of all Americans are totally linked, totally tied to Obama, and they are optimistic, and they\u2019re happy, and they can\u2019t believe their good fortune because Obama is showing the way. That\u2019s the purpose, and I\u2019m telling you right now, I know this without knowing it. And this is why I\u2019m the one with the documented accuracy rate of almost always right 99% of the time. Seventy-five percent of the people in this country are not optimistic right now, and that\u2019s one of the problems. That\u2019s why so many people are turning over a lot of their freedom and decision making to Washington, because they are not optimistic. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to get all flushed and ticked off here again when I mention this, but Robert Gibbs and the White House staff all over the morning shows today saying in answer to the question, ‘What can we expect from President Obama tonight?\u2019 ‘Well, he\u2019s going to be a little Reaganesque.\u2019 That just frosts me, I can\u2019t tell you. He\u2019s not Reagan, and furthermore, according to the brilliant wizards on our side of the aisle, the era of Reagan is over. All these stupid eggheads with their heads in orifices where the sun doesn\u2019t shine on our side telling us the era of Reagan is over, letting the Democrats co-opt the era of Reagan and then obviously rewrite it. It makes me so mad, the squandered opportunities here. We\u2019ve got an excellent opportunity for Republicans in Washington to start tying Obama to all of this, drive his numbers even further down. They\u2019re scared to do it. But there\u2019s too much going wrong here and it can be tied to him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
