RUSH: I want to take the occasion while I have your attention here. This press conference last night, again, there was not a single question about the shrinking gross domestic product, or shrinking economy. Not a single question about this massive debt that\u2019s being piled up for generations. Not a single question about the outrageous budget that was just passed by Congress. Not a single question about nationalized health care plans. This is such an opportunity, such an opportunity for an articulate, attractive conservative candidate to take Obama and the liberal media apart. This is not the time for a conservative Republican to think, ‘Okay, I gotta go be a little like Obama in order to get votes.\u2019 That\u2019s not how he\u2019s getting them. He\u2019s not getting votes, he\u2019s not getting the majority of his support from policy. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s getting the majority of his support from personality, celebrity, cult-like characteristics, but not from policy. The biggest mistake the Republicans could make is to look at this and say, ‘I guess we need to come out with our own version of a national health care plan, just a smarter one. I guess we need to come out with our own version of bigger government.\u2019 No! It\u2019s just the opposite. Never, ever has there been a better time to contrast the views of the founding principles of conservatism with what is happening now. There is such a hunger. Do you know yesterday Obama went out there to that town hall in Arnold, Missouri, Fox High School? Did you know that there were hundreds of protesters outside? There were. I didn\u2019t know it, either, \u2019til I got a newspaper story about it. <\/p>\n

Hundreds of protesters outside! There is a hunger for an alternative way to manage this country\u2019s affairs. I think — I really do — the way I look at this, Obama is extremely vulnerable to a full-fledged conservative attack right now. The public hates the media, for good reason. Last night\u2019s press conference being just the latest example. His policies are not all that supported. His policies are radical. His policies aren\u2019t gonna work. That press conference last night, it was a worthless exercise in inside-the-Beltway game playing. The public learned nothing, but they swooned. They swooned and they felt good, but they didn\u2019t learn anything. But our side should have. Our side should have been uplifted by the fact that he\u2019s getting weaker in terms of policy, and he\u2019s vulnerable. <\/p>\n

You know, the Democrats have no excuse now, what with the Specter defection — I mean, people are saying this, but it\u2019s not just a cliche. They own it all. There\u2019s not one thing Republicans can do to stop this. Therefore, it makes no sense to go along with it. It\u2019s not going to help Republicans electorally to go along with this. The thing that\u2019s going to help Republicans electorally is to oppose this — and there\u2019s nothing to lose, because they can\u2019t stop it anyway! It\u2019s such an opportunity for full-fledged, fearless honesty about all this. Look, folks, the purpose of last night — the purpose of all media reporting and Obama press events, the purpose — is to demoralize us. I don\u2019t want this happening to you. I know it is. You watch this, you get demoralized. <\/p>\n

You watch the press, and they just act like a bunch of spoiled children. It demoralizes you. That\u2019s what they want to happen. When the Democrats are out there saying, ‘You know, you Republicans need to become more like us,\u2019 they want to demoralize you. They want to build Obama up. That\u2019s a given. But the media didn\u2019t ask him any tough questions that would have exposed the failure of his policies and the worsening economy. It shrank by 6.1%, for crying out loud. Not a word about that, because the media knows he is vulnerable, folks — and they\u2019re protecting him, and they\u2019re trying to demoralize us. Any other president presiding over a 6.1% drop in the GDP would have been roasted with questions about it! <\/p>\n

He\u2019s had policies to stop it. He\u2019s had policies to fix it. He said his policies are going to reverse it. Any other president and the questions would have been asked, ‘Well, where\u2019s the stimulus bill, Mr. President? Where\u2019s all this investment that you\u2019re making? Where are these new bridges and roads being built? Where\u2019s all the infrastructure? Where\u2019s it happening? Where are all the new jobs?\u2019 None of that is being asked. We don\u2019t have to buy into this sophistry and idolatry. We need to hammer this. Obama\u2019s now exposed, folks, with policies that do not work and will not work, and will only provide and cause harm. ‘What about your massive deficit, Mr. President? What about double-digit unemployment in over a hundred American cities?\u2019 <\/p>\n

We had that story yesterday. One hundred nine metro areas have double-digit employment. El Centro, California, 25% unemployment, rivaling Great Depression unemployment numbers. ‘What about an economy, Mr. President, that just shrunk on your watch by 6.1%? What about the trillions that have been lost in the stock market, Mr. President, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera?\u2019 If the media isn\u2019t going to ask these questions, it is time for somebody in the Republican Party — outside of the media, talk radio or whatever — to stand up and start asking these questions, boldly. And don\u2019t give us the excuse, ‘Well, I can do it but nobody will cover me.\u2019 You will be heard. If the media is not going to ask these questions, somebody has to — and I\u2019m talking about from the political arena. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s just… My gosh, folks, it\u2019s such an opportunity. It\u2019s sitting there on a silver platter again. Just because the media celebrates doesn\u2019t mean that we have to. The question of the first 100 days was all in the context of, ‘Gee, how\u2019s Obama doing? How\u2019s Obama doing in his first hundred days?\u2019 ‘That\u2019s right, Mr. Limbaugh! That\u2019s on everybody\u2019s mind. That\u2019s all America wants to know: How is President Obama doing his first hundred days.\u2019 Sorry. President Obama\u2019s first hundred days are not about him. President Obama\u2019s first hundred days, as are any president\u2019s first hundred days, are about America. The question is: How is America doing during Obama\u2019s first 100 days? <\/p>\n

Is there a Republican with a heartbeat? Is there a Republican that has any brain wave activity whatsoever to spot this? What are you afraid of? Being criticized? Being vilified? What\u2019s new? It\u2019s happening anyway! No matter how you comport yourselves, no matter how you try to be liked, no matter how hard you try to garner the respect of these people that run Washington, it isn\u2019t happening, is it? Meanwhile, you\u2019ve got half a country dying for these questions to be raised — somehow, somewhere — to the country at large. And they happen via the political system. It\u2019s not about Obama and his first hundred days. It\u2019s not about how ‘enchanted\u2019 he finds the job. It\u2019s not about how surprising he finds it. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s about, ‘How is America doing?\u2019 and there wasn\u2019t one question about that, because the assumption is, America is in love, America\u2019s never been better. Yeah. GDP is down 6.1%. Unemployment is heading to 10%. America\u2019s never been better. America is being remade! That\u2019s right, from what? And by whom? And for what reason? And under what authority is America being remade? And what\u2019s wrong with America that it needs to be remade? The fact of the matter is America is worse off in the last hundred days than it was before Obama became president, and that is a fact that you can analyze and stipulate to in any number of ways, primarily economic. We\u2019re supposed to give Obama more time before we say that, they tell us. <\/p>\n

‘We can\u2019t judge him too quickly! No, it\u2019s only a hundred days.\u2019 Oh, but they can. They can celebrate him as an effective president after a hundred days, but we can\u2019t criticize, and we can\u2019t point out the toilet the country is about to be flushed down? What is it? We measure his first hundred days or we don\u2019t? Where\u2019s all the progress? Where\u2019s all the success? Where are all the new bridges? Where are all the new roads? Where are all the new schools? Where\u2019s the accomplishment to this administration? You don\u2019t measure things by how many laws, bureaucracies, and programs are created or how many press conferences have taken place or how many members of the press love the president. You measure it by results, and the results are that people are becoming poorer. The private sector is shrinking, which means opportunities and jobs are shrinking. Taxes are going up. Regulations are increasing — and for what? To remake America? The president stepped in to take over Chrysler. He has all but killed it, and is on his way to doing same thing to General Motors.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is, folks, it is a golden opportunity. Obama and the Democrats own everything. This is the time to provide the contrast. Look, the president of the United States moving heaven and earth to fix General Motors, Chrysler, and a bunch of banks, moving heaven and earth. And what is he doing in the process? He\u2019s putting his people in charge. The United Auto Workers in significant ownership positions of both General Motors and Chrysler, the Treasury department in banks. Meanwhile, institutions of the federal government are in far, far, far more trouble than General Motors or Chrysler. In the private sector, if a business fails, you go to bankruptcy, you reorganize, hurts a little awhile, you come back stronger. The market has winners and losers every day. Not everybody in the market\u2019s smart. They get outsmarted, some people get outworked. It\u2019s the way it works. Government has a monopoly on everything it does. And right now, for all the trouble General Motors and Chrysler and the banks are in, how about Social Security? How about Medicare and Medicaid? <\/p>\n

While the president\u2019s moving heaven and earth to, i.e., supposedly fix these private sector firms — actually take them over — he\u2019s also responsible for fixing Social Security. It is going broke, and we don\u2019t hear a single proposal from him on that, because we cannot hear from President Obama that anything about the government is wrong at all. There is no mistake, there is nothing going wrong, there\u2019s no crisis and no emergency in government. All of the crises, all of the emergencies are in the private sector, and that\u2019s why we need to remake America. Medicare, Medicaid, going broke. His proposal is to take over the entire health care system, which is completely opposite of what the lessons are from government running Medicare and Medicaid in the first place. President Obama does not fix anything. President Obama does not reform anything. He just keeps grabbing and spending and dictating to enhance his own authority, and that of the government. And in the process, the Obama administration is killing the United States economy as he remakes America. <\/p>\n

Now, the economy is going to fight back. There are too many millions of Americans who are not going to sit out there and take it. They want the best life has to offer. They know that they\u2019re Americans and they\u2019re going to do what they have to achieve it, regardless the penalties that they will face from Obama, and regardless the obstacles put in their way. And as these millions of Americans, many of you among them, fight to improve your lives despite the penalties coming in taxes, despite the obstacles, you\u2019re going to be innovative, you will go to work, you will try to create, you will try to produce. That\u2019s who we are, and that\u2019s how we work. And this is going to bring the economy back. The economy will come back. It\u2019s just that Obama\u2019s making it much more difficult. He is punishing us, smearing us, denouncing us. Barack Obama smears and denounces, punishes those who seek success for themselves and for others. Says he wants to remake America. He is never asked, ‘Under what constitutional authority are you free to remake America?\u2019 He\u2019s never asked, ‘Remake it from what?\u2019 He\u2019s never asked, ‘What\u2019s wrong with or about America?\u2019 Now, he will apologize all over the world for things he thinks we have done or things that we are that are immoral and unjust. <\/p>\n

Somebody in the press corps never stands up — golden opportunity for a Republican or a conservative here once again — ‘Mr. President, don\u2019t you recognize America is a magnificent country, the most magnificent country, made up of millions of people who are inventing and producing on their own, without you yelling at them and telling them how to work and how to live and behave? How did these people, how did this country get so great before you came along, Mr. President? How is it that we came to dominate and rule the world for good before you came along? And since you\u2019ve come along, Mr. President, all you\u2019ve done is impugn, criticize, punish, and put obstacles in the way of people who are truly great in this country.\u2019 I just look at this and I\u2019m stupefied why there\u2019s any fear. If you\u2019re going to be afraid of somebody\u2019s effect on people, and if it\u2019s going to silence you, ‘Well, we just gotta let Obama run his course,\u2019 we\u2019re going to have even more problems. Mr. President, when you say you\u2019re remaking America, are you condemning the American people? What do you mean, remake America? Who is America? The United States of America is her people. Going to remake what? The United States of America is not the United States government. The United States is her people. Are you condemning the American people? <\/p>\n

This is really radical, folks, remaking America, he said it last night, remaking America starts now. When we call President Obama on this remaking America nonsense, truly a radical notion, why, we\u2019re told that we\u2019re overreacting. And once again, he\u2019s praised by the media for remaking America. But when he\u2019s criticized for it, we\u2019re told we\u2019re overreacting. Just give him more time. This is why the media are a joke and why I see so many opportunities for a conservative to take on Obama and whip him politically. Americans love their country. They don\u2019t believe it\u2019s a nation built on hate. They don\u2019t believe America\u2019s a nation built on class warfare. Americans don\u2019t believe that this is a nation built on government power and so forth. Obama has been able to slither and slide between the lines, been able to say he stands for America\u2019s traditions while he trashes them. It\u2019s not that he is so clever or so good at spin. It\u2019s that we lack the leadership to seize the moment and call him on this phoniness. <\/p>\n

We lack the leadership to seize the moment to craft a message, to advance our principles, so we\u2019re supposed to spend ten days beating ourselves up over the defection of Arlen Specter. And we\u2019re supposed to buy into the notion, well, that\u2019s the end of the Republican Party. Arlen Specter left. And we\u2019re supposed to run around with our heads hung low, and we\u2019re supposed to be depressed. We\u2019re supposed to be dispirited. We\u2019re supposed to be demotivated. We\u2019re supposed to just give up. Sorry, my friends, but I don\u2019t buy that. For me it\u2019s offense, baby. Or, as Al Davis, the Oakland Raiders, would say, ‘Just win, baby.\u2019 <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, here\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about. This is exactly the kind of thing that inspires the past monologue. Boston Globe today, new poll. ‘A new poll released last night of Massachusetts voters,\u2019 Massachusetts voters, ‘echoes national surveys… Sixty eight percent say,\u2019 in Massachusetts, Obama\u2019s got ‘the right priorities, but 54% prefer smaller government.\u2019 Big disconnect. They think his priorities are smaller government because he says so. He\u2019s able to make everybody think he says what they believe. So when they\u2019re asked, ‘What do you believe\u2019? Fifty-four percent say ‘smaller government and fewer services;\u2019 sixty-one percent oppose these bailouts. The time is ripe. To the phones. Tom in New York City. Glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Good. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks for taking the call. I just want to say congratulations on the last half hour of this show because you couldn\u2019t be more correct. This is the time to drive a stake right through the Democrats and get a sharp, forward-thinking young Republican out there who can help take the White House back at the end of this first term.<\/p>\n

RUSH: In the old days — in the old days — we didn\u2019t have any problem finding these people. They were all over the place and willing to fight for it, peaked in the late eighties and early nineties. What\u2019s happened now is that I don\u2019t know how many Republicans actually think that this is a golden opportunity. I don\u2019t know how many of them think that very many Americans agree with them. I think a lot of Republicans think that they are the smallest minority they\u2019ve ever been and that they\u2019re in the wilderness, that nobody agrees with them, and if they come out and say this kind of thing, they\u2019re just going to get laughed at. They will get laughed at by the media, but they better pay attention. Fifty-five million Americans did not vote for what\u2019s happening now. It\u2019s a goldmine waiting to be tapped.<\/p>\n

CALLER: This is starting to be huge, and I don\u2019t think that this upcoming Republican is at the national level right now. I think you\u2019re going to find him at a young level, like mayoral or state senate or possibly lieutenant governor that is going to say, ‘You know what? I am sick of these people trying to demoralize me. Because I\u2019m too smart, and I\u2019m too strong, and I love America too much, to be demoralize by weak-willed Democrats.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well…<\/p>\n

CALLER: I mean, that question last night from the New York Times reporter about being ‘enchanted,\u2019 the president took that silver spoon and answered the question like he was in Mr. Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood rather than the White House, and it was simply appalling. It was embarrassing. He makes us look like pansies. Everybody in the world watches these press conferences!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Be careful here on pansies. You never know who asked the question. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m trying to find it here. <\/p>\n

CALLER: My apologies.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It was Jeff Zeleny.<\/p>\n

CALLER: When they throw him softballs like this… You know what this… You said it\u2019s a governmental occupation. You know what it is? And you made analogies earlier in the program. This is the equivalent of governmental tee ball. You know how the kids they play T-ball. They don\u2019t really play baseball because everybody gets up there and they get a whack at it and they hit it out because they don\u2019t have to learn how to read a pitch or read a pitcher or see how the other players are playing, they hit something. But I tell you they\u2019re not learning how to play baseball. That\u2019s what the government is doing, they\u2019re coming in and they\u2019re teaching all the citizens, ‘Here\u2019s tee ball. Everybody gets a whack, and, you know what? When I\u2019m finished I\u2019m taking it home.\u2019 That\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but I\u2019m going to tell you something.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That does not produce a generation of free thinkers.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you something. I know you\u2019re right about that, but it\u2019s not bleak. It\u2019s been going on for a long time now. You know, kids are being told don\u2019t keep score in the afternoon football games, baseball games or whatever, ”Cause it\u2019s just humiliating, Mr. Limbaugh, that somebody has to lose. It\u2019s too punishing for young minds to suffer defeat, defeat, defeat at that young age. It\u2019s better, Mr. Limbaugh, that there\u2019s no winners and that there\u2019s no losers.\u2019 Kids keep score. Their parents tell them not to keep score. They\u2019re keeping score. It\u2019s natural! It\u2019s a natural thing. Wanting to win is a natural thing. They can\u2019t beat that out of it. They can beat it out of some who allow themselves to be beaten and pliant and so forth, but they\u2019re not going to beat it out of the country. Here is the question, by the way. Grab audio sound bite 17 and 18. Here\u2019s the question. It was Jeff Zeleny of the New York Times. It\u2019s Zel-e-ny or Zel-ee-ny. I never hear these names pronounced so I pronounce them both ways to cover myself. I\u2019m not trying to mispronounce it. So I look at it Z-e-l-e-n-y, and say, ‘I guess it\u2019s Zel-e-ny but maybe it\u2019s Zel-ee-ny.\u2019 Anyway, he has this exchange with President Obama.<\/p>\n

ZELENY: During these first 100 days what has surprised you the most about this office, enchanted you the most about serving in this office, humbled you the most, and troubled you the most?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Now, let me write this down. <\/p>\n

AUDIENCE OF SO-CALLED REPORTERS: (roar of laughter) <\/p>\n

ZELENY: Surprised. Troubled.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I\u2019ve got… What was the first one?<\/p>\n

ZELENY: Surprised.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Surprised?<\/p>\n

ZELENY: Troubled.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Troubled.<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE OF SO-CALLED REPORTERS: (laughter) <\/p>\n

ZELENY: Enchanted.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Enchanted, right.<\/p>\n

ZELENY: And humbled.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And what was the last one, humbled?<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE OF SO-CALLED REPORTERS: (laughter) <\/p>\n

ZELENY: Humbled. Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: All right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so that\u2019s what passes for a press conference question. And here\u2019s a montage of the answer. We don\u2019t have the answer in this montage. The answer went on for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Surprised. Uhhh, I am surprised, uhh, by the number, uh, of critical issues that appear to be coming to a head all at the same time. Troubled. Umm, I — I\u2019d say less troubled, but, ummm, sobered by the fact that change in Washington comes slow. Enchanted. Uhhhhh. Enchanted. Uh, eh, um. I — I will tell you that, umm, when I meet, uh, our servicemen and women… Enchanted is probably not the word I would use. Humbled by, uh, theeee — uh, humbled by the fact that the presiden-cy, uh, is extraordinarily powerful but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wake me up when this is over.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — it is part of a much broader tapestry of American life.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: So I can\u2019t just press a button and suddenly have the bankers do exactly what I want.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Seems to me you can. It seems to me he sure as hell can press a button and get people to do what he wants. Somebody\u2019s pushing a button and making this stuff happen. So that was the question and the montage of the answer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
