RUSH: Back in November of 2004, Obama was on the radio — and he had a discussion with the insane, lunatic host about the whole process of legislation.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: When you rush these budgets that are a foot high and nobody has any idea what\u2019s in them and nobody\u2019s read \u2019em.<\/p>\n

INSANE, LUNATIC HOST: Fourteen pounds, it was!<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Yeah. Uh, and it gets rushed through without any clear deliberation or debate, uh, then these kinds of things happen, and I think that this is — is in some ways what happened to the Patriot Act. I mean, you remember there was no real debate about that, it was so qui — uh, quick after 9\/11 that it was introduced —<\/p>\n

INSANE, LUNATIC HOST: Mmmph.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — that people felt very intimidated by the administration.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s five years ago, coming up on five years. Obama is complaining and whining and moaning about all the legislation that was hurried through. We didn\u2019t have time to read it. Patriot Act. You can\u2019t rush these things; they\u2019re too big, they\u2019re too cumbersome. What\u2019s he doing? We need a new stimulus bill by the weekend! We need health care by next Saturday. We need cap and trade passed by Labor Day. And we need Limbaugh off the radio by the end of the year. Its\u2019 gotta happen. It\u2019s gotta happen now. It\u2019s gotta happen now.\u2019 In fact, let\u2019s go back to the White House press conference on Wednesday. Yeah, go ahead and run this.<\/p>\n

REPORTER: Why the rush? Are you worried that, uh, if you don\u2019t — there\u2019s a delay until the fall, the whole effort will collapse?<\/p>\n

OBAMA (sped up): I\u2019m rushed because I get letters every day from families that are being clobbered by health care costs and they ask me, ‘Can you help?\u2019 So I\u2019ve got a, uhh, middle-aged couple that will write me, and they say, ‘Our daughter just found out she\u2019s got leukemia, and if I don\u2019t, uh, do something soon, we just… Either going to go bankrupt or, uh —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s it. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: (sped up): — we\u2019re not going to be able to get our daughter the care, uh —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s it! Time crunch. That\u2019s it. So we gotta hurry because he\u2019s getting letters from people. Now, over in Congress the letters are 15-to-one in opposition to his plan. But now we gotta hurry because he\u2019s getting letters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
