RUSH: I\u2019m waiting for audio of this, but we talk about Public Policy Polling here a lot. It\u2019s an outfit out of North Carolina. The guy that runs Public Policy Polling is a guy named Tom Jensen. He\u2019s a huge liberal Democrat, as I have mentioned on several previous occasions, and he was on a radio station in North Carolina (Raleigh, North Carolina) yesterday, he is in this radio interview (and I\u2019m waiting for the audio on this) that Democrats and Obama are in big trouble and that he has been called by the Democrat political consultants in various states who have begged him and Public Policy Polling not to poll in their state as they don\u2019t want the public to know how bad it is. <\/p>\n

These Democrat consultants in the various states which are not mentioned said, ‘We know we are in big trouble.\u2019 So, there is an undercurrent of this, by the way, all over the country. You can see it in Democrats\u2019 faces as they talk about it, some of their consultants on TV. Now, here is Obama. Let\u2019s see&hellip; Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Wednesday night, I believe. Yes, Wednesday night in Washington. By the way, do you know Obama went out and did a health care rally yesterday and got heckled? Now, what\u2019s interesting about this to me is I didn\u2019t know about this until this morning when I was doing show prep. It\u2019s getting to the point that the guy\u2019s on TV so much, so often, it isn\u2019t any big deal. I didn\u2019t know about it. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m up to everything. I\u2019m up to speed on everything and I did not know about this, and maybe one of the reasons we didn\u2019t know about it is because he got heckled. Somebody called him a liar, when he started going one of these phony examples that he gave in his ‘joint\u2019 before Congress the other night. He had two or three examples of people. Insurance companies left them for dead, he said. They were all not true. Every one of them was not true. People are listening as he\u2019s telling these stories in his town meetings and somebody stood up and called him a liar. We\u2019ve got that coming up, but here Wednesday night Obama addressing the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute\u2019s 32nd Annual Award Gala.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I want to be clear. If someone\u2019s here illegally they won\u2019t be covered under this plan, but I also want to make this clear: Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don\u2019t think we can ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken. That\u2019s why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable quality health insurance under this plan just like everybody else.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Can I translate that? He\u2019s going to make the illegals legal! He\u2019s going to do amnesty. Everybody knows this. Predicted this. That\u2019s how he\u2019s going to insure illegals. His amnesty program is going to come along, and he pretty much admits it there to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute\u2019s 32nd Annual Award Gala. Here is College Park, Maryland, the University of Maryland, Obama speaking. It\u2019s a loud crowd. It\u2019s very hard to hear, but this is when this speech was interrupted by an unidentified protester.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: About the time she had her insurance reason stated her breast cancer — what\u2019s goin\u2019 on, guys? We\u2019re doing okay. Relax. Everybody\u2019s a\u2019right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Somebody shouted out ‘You\u2019re lying. You\u2019re a liar.\u2019 Now, amnesty for illegals, to get them health insurance. Why didn\u2019t he tell Congress this in his joint? It\u2019s one of these lies of omission. He lied to Congress and to the country when he said his health care plan would not cover illegals. The fact is the plans before Congress were going to do just that. But let\u2019s assume that Obama had a health care plan, which he doesn\u2019t. Set that lie aside. The president has a plan. The president knew he was going to sign a bill from Congress that would provide amnesty to 20 million people living here illegally, and they would thus then get health care subsidized and or provided by American tax dollars. But he didn\u2019t tell Congress or the country about this. It was a purposeful deception. But those of us who know Obama knew exactly this was the plan. Here\u2019s the… Oh! Oh! <\/p>\n

Finally. Koko, it\u2019s time to put up that overexposure picture. There\u2019s a story here from the New York Times: ‘Obama the Omnipresent — President Obama prepares for his speed date with the Sunday morning talk shows, a familiar question dogs his aides: How much Obama is too much Obama? Even by the norms of his ubiquity, Obama\u2019s been on a prod. Lately pitching his health care plan seemingly everywhere but the Food Channel and Fox News. So he\u2019s going to do these five Sunday shows, going to do Letterman on Monday. ‘All that has sparked another debate over the O word — ‘overexposure\u2019 — which has become a principal topic around the White House in recent days. ‘Is the president cheapening his currency by being so visible? Or is he simply being media savvy? … <\/p>\n

”The idea of overexposure is based on an old-world view of the media,\u2019 said Dan Pfeiffer, the White House\u2019s deputy communications director. Because the media are now so fragmented, Mr. Pfeiffer said, ‘You would have to do all the Sunday shows, a lot of network news shows and late-night shows\u2019 to reach the number of viewers a president could address with one network interview 20 years ago.\u2019 Not true. Do one network interview and all the cablers are going to pick it up anyway and all the stations are going to air it. If he were doing this talk, if he were making all these appearances to talk about how to produce more jobs and how to get the economy going, people would probably be a little bit more tolerant of his omnipresence. But they\u2019re not. He\u2019s out there trying to ram something down our throats that everybody doesn\u2019t want, or very many people do not want. <\/p>\n

The polls continue to fall in his favor on health care, down to 43% versus 55% who do not approve of his health care plan. I think he should keep talking. I love this Obama buzz factor. Just stay out there, Mr. President and keep talking. The more you talk, the worse it gets for you — and here\u2019s ABC News\u2019 The Note. Rick Klein, headline: ‘Obama is Everywhere Yet Nowhere in Health Care Debate — It\u2019s only overexposure if something\u2019s exposed that the White House would rather wasn\u2019t. And it\u2019s only ubiquity if there\u2019s just enough revealed to hold our collective interest. A president who\u2019s everywhere hasn\u2019t been much of anywhere when it comes to the biggest\/only item on his domestic agenda. Thursday\u2019s rally in College Park, Md., barely broke through…\u2019 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly right. Even the guys at ABC\u2019s news The Note noticed it. His College Park, Maryland, rally ‘lost in a missile-defense flurry that seemed to surprise some US allies almost as much as it did the White House press corps. On health care, President Obama has been letting Congress drive the bus this week — specifically, Sen. Max Baucus… Now comes President Obama\u2019s latest big moment — except it\u2019s really three or four days\u2019 worth of moments. Those Sunday interviews take place [this] afternoon — look for a first glimpse of George Stephanopoulos\u2019 interview on his blog Friday, and on ABC\u2019s ‘World News.” So he\u2019s ‘everywhere yet nowhere.\u2019 And what they mean by that is he doesn\u2019t have a plan. He\u2019s out there speaking in generalities, but he doesn\u2019t have a plan. They couldn\u2019t break through the missile defense flurry yesterday. Now, here\u2019s the story. This is from WBAL Baltimore. <\/p>\n

According to the AP, the man heckling Obama apparently said, ‘Obama, you\u2019re a liar. Obama, your health care kills children. Abortion is murder.\u2019 (doing Obama impression) ‘All right, whatever. Relax out there. Everybody relax. We\u2019re all right.\u2019 And the interesting thing here is that at the end of the story, they quote ‘Former Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich says he has no problem with President Obama holding rallies for healthcare reform but he does not understand why the president is referring to legislation being considered as ‘his bill.\u2019 Ehrlich says it is a little confusing because there is no bill with the president\u2019s name or the administration\u2019s name on it. Ehrlich says there are at least two competing bills out there now and the president is trying to do his best to garner support with a variety of themes. But he says taxpayers and Congress want to see an actual bill that they can give their opinion on.\u2019 So once again, leading the clarion call and everybody\u2019s picking it up: There is no Obama bill. He\u2019s everywhere but nowhere. He\u2019s ubiquitous; he\u2019s not overexposed. He is driving his own defeat on this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
