If you listened far enough on Face the Nation yesterday you heard Bill Clinton eventually agree with me. It takes three sound bites to get there. Bob Schieffer is talking to Bill Clinton. Here\u2019s the first of three bites.<\/p>\n<p>SCHIEFFER: Rush Limbaugh said, for example, that President Obama might try to use this for political means, to shore up support for himself in the black community. And he said we\u2019ve already donated to Haiti, they call it the US income tax. What\u2019s your response to that?<\/p>\n<p>CLINTON: Oh, I don\u2019t have any. You know, I &#8212; I think we should &#8212; it\u2019s not fruitful to get involved in that. I think every American has been heartbroken by what\u2019s happened, and I just think it doesn\u2019t do us any good to waste any time in what is in my opinion a fruitless and pointless conversation.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Schieffer says, what would you say, Mr. President Bush?<\/p>\n<p>BUSH: I\u2019d say now is not the time to focus on politics. It\u2019s time to focus on helping people. I mean, look, you got children who lost their parents, people wonder whether they\u2019re gonna be able to drink water. There\u2019s a great sense of desperation. And so my attention is on trying to help people deal with the desperation.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So Bob Schieffer then says, what do you &#8212; and Clinton erupts. <\/p>\n<p>CLINTON: Let\u2019s take a serious point that Mr. Limbaugh was making is that the Americans pay for the government and the military is down there doing their part. But in a disaster of this magnitude, there is no way that the government, which has other responsibilities as well, national security and other responsibilities, you just can\u2019t deal with this just with government money. That\u2019s what all these faith-based groups are doing down there. That\u2019s what all these other nongovernmental groups are doing. And we think Americans know that and want to help.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Exactly! Which is my point from the get-go, which was distorted by the media watchdogs that watch and misreport this program and people like Bob Schieffer who don\u2019t listen to this program then get an idea, a distorted idea of what I said. The government can\u2019t do it all! I can\u2019t believe he actually admitted it. These guys are having you believe government can do everything, government can fix your health care, government can solve war, government can solve pestilence, government can do everything. Now it can\u2019t. Did you ever hear them say this during Katrina? &#8216;Government can\u2019t do everything.\u2019 You never heard them say this during Katrina. So vindication for me is all over the place. It\u2019s out there for one and all to see and hear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites on this because it\u2019s interesting.
