RUSH: Politico has an amazing story today by Jeremy Lott, editor of Capital Research Center\u2019s Labor Watch newsletter. He\u2019s a lib. He\u2019s the author of The Warm Bucket Brigade: The Story of the American Vice Presidency. Here is the headline: ‘So far, Obama\u2019s Failing Miserably,\u2019 and wait \u2019til you hear what Obama\u2019s failing at in the liberals\u2019 own words. This is more testament, folks, to ‘do not doubt me.\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘When he ran for president, George W. Bush promised to be a modest reformer at home and a humble representative of the United States on the world stage.\u2019 Al-Qaeda changed all that. ‘Barack Obama\u2019s initial approach to the office of the presidency has been as grandiose as Bush\u2019s was restrained. It\u2019s not hard to recall that he ran as a transformative candidate, promising sweeping, though somewhat fuzzy, ‘change\u2019 during the campaign.\u2019 Oh, now they call it ‘fuzzy.\u2019 It was hard to call it ‘fuzzy\u2019 during the campaign. It was always sweeping and it was massive and it was overwhelmingly great. Hope and change! Now, who said this first, Obama\u2019s failing miserably? Was it Jeremy Lott here at Politico or was it me? <\/p>\n

‘For the first several months of his presidency, Obama has labored to deliver on that pledge\u2019 of fuzzy change. ‘He pushed a controversial stimulus bill through Congress to help rev up the economy, turned Bush\u2019s reluctant bailout of Chrysler and General Motors into a giant government auto buyout and appointed a record number of ‘czars&rdquo; to help regulate bureaucracies in both public and formerly private sectors. Then, Step 2. Obama is trying to fundamentally alter the American economy by backing sweeping environmental, labor and health care legislation. He wants to change the way Americans consume energy, unionize and see their doctors. So far, he\u2019s failing miserably.\u2019 This is exactly what I had hoped for, but I\u2019m not ready to proclaim him a failure yet. The libs are upset because he is failing. He is failing at fundamentally altering America in their view. This is why I wanted him to fail from the get-go, and I still do. And now the libs are starting to write about how, ‘So far, he\u2019s failing miserably\u2019 because he\u2019s not delivering on what they thought he was going to provide.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jeremy Lott in Politico of Obama, ‘So far, he\u2019s failing miserably. Consider the following: Cap-and-trade legislation had to limp over the finish line in the House … Environmental legislation generally has taken a drubbing in public opinion polls when people consider how costly it is. The Employee Free Choice Act [Card Check] may be stripped of its ‘card check\u2019 provision in the Senate… On health care, forget the rage set off by private citizen Sarah Palin tweeting about ‘death panels.\u2019 Forget the misleading talk about whether there will be a ‘public option.” This guy gets it right here. He says: ‘The ever-evolving plan is one giant public option, folks.\u2019 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the point that I\u2019ve been trying to make! Whatever they do is a public option, national government-run health care plan. He says, ‘Forget the angry voters who crowded into the town halls during the August recess. Forget that a number of Democratic senators … are still not willing to sign on to a bill. Right now, even after Obama\u2019s address to the joint session of Congress last week, it\u2019s possible Democrats don\u2019t even have the votes in the House — where they currently enjoy a 77-seat majority. It\u2019s entirely possible — nay, likely — that Obama will lose on all three big issues. He\u2019ll probably take that personally.\u2019 No, no, no, he won\u2019t, Mr. Lott. It\u2019s not about Obama. Ah-he-he-ahem. Of course he\u2019s going to take it personal. ‘The question that most political handicappers are considering right now is not ‘Will Republicans make gains at the midterm elections?\u2019 but ‘How large will those gains be?\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘What all this means is, barring some unforeseeable world event, Obama\u2019s will probably not be a historic presidency.\u2019 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute! I thought it already was. He\u2019s already written two memoirs about his first five minutes of his life. He\u2019s the first black president. Every time he opens his mouth it\u2019s historic, I thought. ‘So Obama now has the chance to be the sort of president Bush would have been if the World Trade Center towers had not come down. Here\u2019s hoping he makes the best of it.\u2019 So the libs, they\u2019re out there proclaiming Obama a failure already. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
