RUSH: Obama had a tweet. The White House had a tweet. The White House is running this like a campaign. They\u2019re sending out tweets and e-mails to all of their ACORN groups and so forth in all the states, trying to get them geared up for a campaign to get this passed. It\u2019s not about politics, though. It\u2019s about health care. <\/p>\n

<\/a>‘It\u2019s not about me,\u2019 he said. It\u2019s all about him! He\u2019s worried his presidency is on the line here. This tweet from the White House last night, ‘Health care reform opponents scale up attacks, playing politics w\/ our lives &amp; livelihood. Fight back.\u2019 Now, there are no health care reform ‘opponents.\u2019 Health care reform opponents scale up attacks? There are no reform opponents. We all have reform ideas. There are just those who disagree with Obama\u2019s 1,000-page plan that Obama admits he hasn\u2019t even read. See, we\u2019re not allowed to disagree. We\u2019re now ‘health care reform opponents scaling up attacks.\u2019 We just disagree with this debacle. So the president of the United States starts off by smearing those who have different ideas. So much for post-partisan! So much for hope and change. So much for a new era. <\/p>\n

Obama never takes on opponents in the arena of ideas, folks. He misleads and plays politics when we\u2019re talking about the doctor-patient relationship in America. This is the president tweeting? ‘Health care reform opponents scale up attacks, playing politics w\/ our lives &amp; livelihood. Fight back.\u2019 Next he says those that oppose his reforms are ‘scaling up their attacks,\u2019 like pointing out the CBO that says this plan Obama hasn\u2019t read is a disaster? Are they part of the group that\u2019s attacking him? When Obama says ‘attacks,\u2019 he means bringing up facts after studying his deeply flawed plan that he says he hasn\u2019t read. Then he says those opponents of his plan who have read the plan are playing politics. Obama is ramming a plan to socialize medicine into law at light speed with no one even reading the bill, except the people who have read it who are pointing out what\u2019s in it and then he demonizes those who have read it and think it\u2019s a bad idea by saying they are playing politics! <\/p>\n

Whatever happened to of the people, by the people, for the people? It\u2019s become, ‘Screw the people, by the people, to the people.\u2019 Playing politics with our lives and livelihoods? This bill is a jobs killer! The Porkulus bill was a jobs killer. Playing politics with lives and livelihoods? Obama\u2019s already taken care of that. He\u2019s destroying some lives. You know I\u2019ve got a story in the stack here about kids and the music they\u2019re listening to these days and the music they like. It all talks about how there\u2019s no reason to succeed anymore \u2019cause there\u2019s nothing to succeed doing. There\u2019s nothing out there, nothing to grab. We\u2019ve gotta all learn to do with less. It\u2019s sad. This is the United States of America! He\u2019s destroying ambition! He\u2019s destroying desire! <\/p>\n

He is creating a scenario and an atmosphere where people settle for less than they could be. For the young to be thinking this (snorts) is not good for the future of the country. Obama is playing politics with lives and livelihoods. ‘Fight back,\u2019 he said, not compromise, not talk, not find common ground. Fight back. In that one short sentence, that tweet, Barack Obama gave away all the dignity of the office of the president. That tweet is filled with contempt. It is filled with deceit, smears, and is partisan politics at its very best, or worst. President of the United States. ‘Health care reform opponents scale up attacks, playing politics w\/ our lives &amp; livelihood. Fight back.\u2019 We are fighting back. We\u2019re fighting back to save livelihoods. It\u2019s called jobs. <\/p>\n

A lot is on the table. A lot is at stake. Fifty-three percent, by the way, now oppose congressional health care reform. This is a Rasmussen Report. ‘Health care reform legislation working its way through Congress has lost support over the last month, and 53% now oppose it.\u2019 There\u2019s a great piece at the AmericanThinker.com on rights, what they are, and what a health care right is. It\u2019s really brilliant. It\u2019s well done. I will share it with you after we come back from the time-out. But this post-partisan business. Obama\u2019s going to get rid of partisanship and politics as usual. Hope and change! The GOP and Blue Dog Democrats are opposing Obama. That\u2019s bipartisan. There is bipartisan opposition, not just the Blue Dogs. There are some standard run-of-the-mill liberal Democrats who are very nervous about this. But I have a story here, Charlie Rangel. Nobody\u2019s got the guts to tell Nancy Pelosi to slow down and certainly nobody has the guts to tell the president to slow down.<\/p>\n

But they are scared. Folks, I\u2019m telling you even to your run-of-the-mill, average liberal Democrat this is too much. They\u2019d love to get it, but they don\u2019t want to lose election in 2010. They\u2019d love to get this done, but this is so fast, such an overreach, such a giant grab. They like to do things on the stealth. They like to do things under the guise of helping the poor and everybody. This is not going to do anything but hurt everybody. Obama is the one being purely partisan and Rahm Emanuel. Obama is the one leading the hard left of his party and that\u2019s who exclusively support this: the hard left. The opposition to Obama is bipartisan. He is the one who\u2019s the pure political partisan. He\u2019s just like every other liberal Democrat that\u2019s ever come along, except he\u2019s far more radical. There\u2019s nothing new about him. There\u2019s nothing unique. There\u2019s nothing we haven\u2019t seen before. He\u2019s just the first guy that had the audacity to give an acceptance speech in front of some fake, faux Greek columns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
