RUSH: Tom in Williamsburg, Virginia, you\u2019re up next on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it seems to me that ACORN is just replacing the mob. They\u2019re doing the work, it seems, that the mob refuses to do, just like you\u2019re doing the work that Charlie Gibson refuses to do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, except the mob is still there. What ACORN\u2019s doing — your analogy is somewhat close — what ACORN\u2019s doing is the work Obama is doing, but they got caught. You know, Obama is ACORN.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Obama inspires ACORN. Oh, by the way, I am watching — I\u2019m not listening, of course, because I am hosting the program — but I am watching Obama in Pittsburgh and somebody is going to catch hell because he has no powder on and the lights there are reflecting off his forehead. This is not godlike, this does not look good \u2019cause it looks like he\u2019s got the Nixon sweat going. Looks like he\u2019s glistening out there. Look at the way the lights are reflecting. It\u2019s especially bad up there on PMSNBC, which is, of course, his official outlet. But he finished a speech in Ohio to the autoworkers. Now he\u2019s in Pittsburgh at the AFL-CIO. So you could say ACORN\u2019s a mob. I thought we were the mob, wait a minute. I thought we were the unruly mob. Well, regardless. ACORN is doing the work Obama is doing. It\u2019s all one happy family. And this is Obama\u2019s America. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Obama is in Pittsburgh now talking with autoworkers. That was in Ohio. Now he\u2019s talking to AFL-CIO members. This is really cool. Obama\u2019s out talking to the groups that already got stimulated. He\u2019s talking to groups that already got their stimulus cash. He\u2019s talking to them about health care. Now, listen to this. This is from the State-Controlled Associated Press. ‘The events are designed to be heavy on working class appeal in hopes of boosting the White House credentials with the middle class voters so crucial to the president\u2019s economic agenda.\u2019 Is that tone deaf or what? Do you think going out and making a speech to people who have already got stimulus money and the health care plan is basically to ensure their health care plans… Do they really think that the way to get middle class support is to go out and kowtow to unions? <\/p>\n

The middle class is paying for all this! The middle class is paying for these people who have already been stimulated. Meanwhile, the shovel-ready jobs are still shovel and they\u2019re still ready and nobody\u2019s working on them. Stimulus payments have slowed except to Obama\u2019s buddies to whom he\u2019s now speaking. And they think Obama is speaking to his buddies is going to inspire the middle class to get back on board? And try this from the New York Times: ‘For Obama, a Chance to Reform the Street is Fading.\u2019 Now, ‘reforming the Street\u2019 in this case means Wall Street. ‘After bailing out most of them, Obama warns them not to expect it next time. He also warned those on Wall Street cannot resume taking risks without regard for consequences and expect that next time American taxpayers will be there to break their fall.\u2019 So you\u2019re going to get more government oversight as if they were outside observers in the first place. This is typical. <\/p>\n

‘Hey, we didn\u2019t know what was going on. We\u2019re spectators here and you guys are gaming the system and you guys are unfairly paying yourselves bonuses.\u2019 It\u2019s already very highly regulated.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You want to hear some Marxism? There\u2019s no other way to describe this. I\u2019ll let you hear some Marxism. This is Obama this afternoon in Pittsburgh at the AFL-CIO convention talking to his friends who he\u2019s already bailed out. Here\u2019s a portion of what he said.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And the fundamental test of this century, of our time, is whether we will heed this lesson, whether we will let America become a nation of the very rich and the very poor, of the haves and the have-nots, or whether we will remain true to the promise of this country and build a future where the success of all of us is built on the success of each of us. (applause) That\u2019s the future I want to build. That\u2019s the future the AFL-CIO wants to build.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, folks, that\u2019s straight Marxism and it\u2019s not true. Build a future where the success of all of us is built on the success of each of us? I mean that\u2019s the fundamental test of the century, is spread the wealth around, redistribute the wealth. But the fact of the matter is your success doesn\u2019t depend on anybody else\u2019s success! It doesn\u2019t. This is proven every day in this country. Your success does not depend on everybody else. It might depend on some others but it doesn\u2019t depend on everybody. We\u2019ve proven this. But let\u2019s take these words. ‘The success of all of us is built on the success of each of us.\u2019 He wants to build a nation while his family members live in squalor in a village where water is still delivered by donkey to the thatched roof huts in which they live. Here\u2019s the next sound bite we have from his remarks to the AFL-CIO.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I refuse to let America go back to the culture of irresponsibility and greed that made it possible. Back to an economy with soaring CEO salaries and shrinking middle class incomes, back to the days when banks made reckless decisions that hurt Wall Street and main street alike, we\u2019re not going to go back to those days. It would be bad for unions, bad for the middle class, and bad for the United States of America. We\u2019re not turning back. We\u2019re moving forward.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This guy\u2019s becoming a laughingstock. This guy\u2019s becoming an insane laughingstock. He has destroyed the middle class single-handedly. Do you know what the unemployment rate is? And it\u2019s not Wall Street\u2019s fault. It\u2019s Obama\u2019s fault, it\u2019s Obama\u2019s policies\u2019 faults. Unemployment rate is 9.7%, it\u2019s headed toward 10%. None of what he said would happen because of his policies has happened. And, by the way, this from Reuters: ‘Some of the largest US banks will remain caught in the government\u2019s financial bailout program for months, as officials do not expect to grant the next wave of exit approvals until near the end of the year.\u2019 So Obama is publicly sending a message that banks are shedding government help, and yet he won\u2019t let \u2019em get out of the government, he won\u2019t let them get back and be independent. Then he comes out with this nonsense that we\u2019re not going to go back to the culture of irresponsibility and greed that made it possible, back to an economy with soaring CEO salaries and shrinking middle class incomes. He\u2019s taking care of both. Nobody\u2019s incomes are going to grow when this guy gets through, nobody\u2019s! This is a dangerous guy, but he\u2019s becoming a laughingstock. Let\u2019s listen to even more.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: That\u2019s how we\u2019ll grow our great American middle class. (woman screaming, ‘I love you!\u2019) I love you, too, sister. Although it sounds like you been hollering too much. Your toes all — (laughing) We\u2019re going to grow our middle class with policies that benefit you, the American worker.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Pray tell how does government do that? How do you grow the middle class with policies that benefit you? The only answer to that is you start taxing the achievers and you give it to people like this woman. ‘I love you!\u2019 ‘I love you, too, sister.\u2019 And here\u2019s the final sound bite, whipping them into a frenzy over health care.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: When are we going to say enough is enough? How many more workers have to lose their coverage? How many more families have to go into the red for a sick loved one? How much longer are we going to have to wait? It can\u2019t wait. (crowd chanting, ‘We can\u2019t wait.\u2019) We can\u2019t wait. My friends, we have talked this issue to death year after year, decade after decade. That\u2019s why I said last week, before a joint session of Congress, I said the time for bickering is over. The time for games has passed. Now is the time for action. Now is the time to deliver on health insurance reform.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Keep talking, Barack, buddy. The more you talk, the more the polls go against you. Keep making speeches like this to your buddies, largely held accountable by the American people for many of the problems that we have here today. Find a business in trouble and you will find a union involved. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
