RUSH: Bank of America needs $34 billion. Wells Fargo needs $15 billion. They didn\u2019t even want TARP money. All of these banks — and these are not stress tests. You have to look at these stress tests as possess tests. They\u2019re leaking all this information about the banks, and guess what? The banks are all still in the crapper. And so guess what? We need more federal involvement in the banks; Obama gets to control the banks for a little while longer. You wonder when people are going to wake up and realize what\u2019s going on, and then you see the following stories and you say they\u2019re not going to wake up. I just saw this, an AP story. Get this. ‘A group that studies sports in society is urging the Obama administration to step up the federal government\u2019s role in athletics, possibly with a Cabinet-level post,\u2019 on sports. I\u2019m not kidding, a sports czar! Now, we know that Obama\u2019s out there pushing for a different system in the college football playoffs. We know he runs around doing his own brackets in the NCAA basketball tournament. <\/p>\n

This group is called Sport in Society. They\u2019re based at Northeastern University in Boston. They say that the ‘enhanced government role could serve several important goals. It says the US could encourage more youth participation, increase access for women and the handicapped, and promote healthier lifestyles.\u2019 Well, now, you have to think that the Obama people are going to love this. A sports cabinet post has actually been proposed by university people. We shouldn\u2019t be surprised, because, you know, once government starts taking over things, people who want that to happen are all excited about it. <\/p>\n

Get this. The haughty John Kerry, who, by the way, once served in Vietnam, says that the United States has changed policy regarding Iran. ”We are not in ‘regime change\u2019 mode,\u2019 Democrat John Kerry, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee told a hearing exploring the prospects for US President Barack Obama\u2019s new policy of engaging the Islamic republic.\u2019 So John Kerry says the US no longer seeks regime change in Iran, and as a result of this — what would you call this? Well, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a dangling carrot. In exchange for this, Kerry says that Tehran should respond accordingly by stopping its nuclear program. I kid you not. ‘Our efforts,\u2019 he said, speaking of the US changing its policy on regime change, ‘must be reciprocated by the other side: Just as we abandon calls for regime change in Tehran and recognize a legitimate Iranian role in the region, Iran\u2019s leaders must moderate their behavior and that of their proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.\u2019<\/p>\n

Did you talk to Obama about this, Senator Kerry? He\u2019s funding Hamas. He is pushing for a two-state solution in Israel. He is putting the pressure on Israel. He is blaming Israel for the problems in the Middle East. And, meanwhile, Pakistan and Afghanistan are blowing up in front of our eyes. And, by the way, Iraq is not all that stable right now, either. I mean there\u2019s a lot of trouble, and here we have John Kerry suggesting to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, ‘Hey, look, pal, we\u2019ll let you stay in power. In exchange for us being nice, you stop your nuclear program.\u2019 If I were Ahmadinejad, I\u2019d say, ‘Okay.\u2019 I\u2019d say, ‘That\u2019s a deal we can accept, Senator Kerry. We will stop our nuclear program.\u2019 Of course they won\u2019t stop it. They\u2019ll just say they will. The blind are being led by the ignorant. <\/p>\n

Also, President Obama has announced that he\u2019s canceling the public day of prayer, the National Day of Prayer that is tomorrow at the White House. He said he\u2019s not going to do this, there\u2019s no pomp and circumstance anymore and there\u2019s no big deal about it, he\u2019s just changing the policy that was in place for eight years in the Bush administration, but there will be no public recognition of the National Day of Prayer in the White House. He prays privately. Now, why do this? Why go out of his way to do this? Why make these kinds of waves unnecessarily? He\u2019s doing it on purpose! He\u2019s trying to irritate some people. He\u2019s asserting his authoritarian control. They say he prays privately. I have no doubt about it. Does he pray to himself? Who does he pray to? <\/p>\n

Now, I have one answer for why he might cancel the National Day of Prayer, because a public prayer day, a public prayer event plays no role in getting him what he wants. Obama is only going to spend time on events and things that will get him what he wants. I\u2019ll tell you this, if you stand back and just take a look at some of the things that are happening in this country, the bill carving out protection for perverts, the bill that was argued by Alcee Hastings, the bill carving out protection for perverts and denying it to old ladies and veterans; the endless assault on Miss California, Carrie Prejean because she voiced her opinion against validating gay marriage; the executive order granting money to Hamas-connected Palestinians to move to the United States. He has given way all of our interrogation secrets to terrorists and is going to release pictures of supposed abuse by interrogators while not releasing pictures of Air Force One flying over the Statue of Liberty. The threats and the bullying to hedge funds, the clients of the lawyer Thomas Lauria. ACORN now been charged in Nevada with faking — I don\u2019t know what percentage of vote regulations, but it\u2019s a tremendous number. And they are going to be in charge of the US census? <\/line> <\/line>I could go on and on and on. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
