RUSH: Here. Just to show you that I wasn\u2019t making it up, Tuesday night on MSNBC, Richard Wolffe — author of a book about Obama and his campaign who is working on another book with Obama, presumably with close access — goes on this network to talk about the attempted Christmas Day terrorist attack, and he\u2019s asked this question: ‘Mr. Wolffe, where is the focus right now?\u2019<\/p>\n

WOLFFE: Well, I was speaking to White House, uh, folks earlier today and — and it\u2019s clear the President is still, uhhh, deeply concerned and troubled, ahh, even angry at — at the intelligence lapses. But they see this more as an intelligence lapse, ah, more than a situation of airport security faults. So the question here is: Why didn\u2019t the centralized system of intelligence that was set up after 9\/11…? Why didn\u2019t it work? Is this conspiracy or cock up? The president is leaning very much towards thinking this was a systemic failure by individuals who maybe had an alternative agenda.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Think of that, now. ‘The president is leaning very much towards thinking that this was a systemic failure by individuals who maybe had an alternative agenda.\u2019 So the system worked. In other words, the system worked but it\u2019s just that the people in it wanted to sabotage Obama. That\u2019s what Mr. Wolffe is saying. Tuesday night… Now, this, folks, I\u2019ve often wondered. When I saw Obama speak about this earlier this week, he was mad. He was ticked off. He walked out there angry. I\u2019ve never seen him that angry. This would explain it. See, I\u2019ll be honest to God with you here. I don\u2019t think he was that angry about the attack, but he just doesn\u2019t show that emotion. He\u2019s not that angry about unemployment. He doesn\u2019t show that anger about hardly anything. But he walked out there this week and he was ticked off. <\/p>\n

Well, what if (I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a ‘what if\u2019) he thinks somebody purposely let this incident happen so as to discredit him? That would make him mad, somebody sabotaging him. And if he thinks that, make no mistake, they are trying to root out some people. And we may never know, but they\u2019re going to be goners. So it\u2019s all about him. It\u2019s all about him. That\u2019s why he gets mad. He thinks somebody tried to make him look bad, The One, The Messiah. Richard Wolffe, he\u2019s got this book that he\u2019s writing with close access after a previous book. He says, ‘The president is leaning very much towards thinking this was a systemic failure by individuals who maybe had an alternative agenda.\u2019 It only took an hour and this guy ran back to the MSNBC cameras and started spurting and stuttering, ‘Ba ba ba ba. We actually heard in the White House, Rachel. We\u2019re about ten steps ahead of where the White House is on this.\u2019 <\/p>\n

They either told this guy that off the record, or he blew it by going public with it, or it was a trial balloon and it obviously was not working. Only a paranoiac, and only people who would do something like this themselves, would conjure up the possibility it is being done to them. The idea that people who swear an oath — and, by the way, these are largely people that Obama has put there. So now it\u2019s time to blame Bush, time to blame the agents, time to blame a conspiracy theory that then gets walked back in about an hour. ‘Well, uhhh, I think I went a little far on that, but the president really believes and is leaning much toward thinking he was sabotaged. It was a systemic failure by intelligence people who maybe had an alternative agenda.\u2019 What a bunch of sick wackos over there. It is a genuine disgrace to suggest that anything that happens on that network is news. It\u2019s all opinion, and it\u2019s all propaganda, and it\u2019s all perverted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
