The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.\u2019 He got huge cheers on that. &#8216;He weighed in on some of the most pressing issues of the day: the election in Iran, the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba &#8211;&#8216; by the way, since so much of the media is now state-controlled and state-run, I just need to say for the record that I am not on the government payroll. &#8216;&#8211; his administration\u2019s interrogation policies of terrorists held there and elsewhere. The former president has not commented on Mr. Obama\u2019s decision to ban &#8216;enhanced interrogation techniques,\u2019 such as waterboarding, which the current president has called &#8216;off course\u2019 and &#8216;based on fear.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The way I decided to address the problem was twofold: One, use every technique and tool within the law to bring terrorists to justice before they strike again,&#8221; and he also said that &#8216;I\u2019m not going to criticize my successor,\u2019 and then he did. &#8216;I\u2019ll just tell you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at a drop of a hat and I don\u2019t believe that &#8212; persuasion isn\u2019t going to work. Therapy isn\u2019t going to cause terrorists to change their mind.\u2019 So he\u2019s fighting back here, and I really like this. I wish this administration &#8212; we can wish and wish and wish and it won\u2019t change anything. It woulda just been fine if they had done a little bit more of this while President Bush was in office. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: President Bush in Erie, Pennsylvania, last night said, &#8216;Government does not create wealth.
