And there\u2019s all kinds of it, folks. The Democrats &#8212; this is the New York Times from today &#8212; &#8216;Democrats Put Lower Priority on Health Bill,\u2019 which is a nice way to say, slam on the brakes. Could we also say that maybe it is a failure? &#8216;With no clear path forward on major health care legislation, Democratic leaders in Congress effectively slammed the brakes on President Obama\u2019s top domestic priority on Tuesday, saying they no longer felt pressure to move quickly on a health bill after eight months of setting deadlines and missing them. The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, deflected questions about health care. &#8216;We\u2019re not on health care now,\u2019 Mr. Reid said. &#8216;We\u2019ve talked a lot about it in the past.\u2019 He added, &#8216;There is no rush.&#8221; We have that audio sound bite right now.<\/p>\n<p>REID: I\u2019ve had a number of meetings with the Speaker, spoken to the White House on several occasions, and we\u2019re going to find out how to proceed, but there is no rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This from the guy who had to have it passed before the August recess, then they had to have it passed by Thanksgiving, then they had to have it passed by Christmas, and of course Nancy Pelosi said, &#8216;There will be a health care bill.\u2019 All of that went out the window and I\u2019m still not sure that even if Martha Coakley had won that election instead of Scott Brown this would have happened because as I pointed out the last time we were together, the Democrats are fleeing the ship and now we\u2019ve got Evan Bayh and Blanche Lincoln, they\u2019re categorized in the Drive-Bys as two moderate, centrist Democrats. And there\u2019s no such thing in the Senate. I mean that\u2019s just how they\u2019re categorized by the Drive-Bys. They\u2019re saying they would stop the reconciliation process if the Senate tried to go that way. They\u2019re up for reelection. They\u2019ve got conservative states for the most part that they need to win.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"179\" class=\"alignright\"\/>The Democrats are now at war with one another, folks. Everybody is blaming everybody for what went wrong in Massachusetts, what\u2019s gone wrong with all of these pieces of legislation that didn\u2019t happen. A CNN poll a couple days ago: &#8221;Most Americans Applaud Democrats\u2019 Loss of Supermajority\u2019 &#8212; Americans are divided on whether Democratic control of Congress is good for the country.\u2019 Divided? Seventy percent is not divided. &#8216;A CNN\/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday also indicates that 7 in 10 Americans believe that the Democrats\u2019 loss &#8211;&#8216; seven in ten is 70%, CNN. It\u2019s a big number. We\u2019re not going to let you get away with this seven in ten garbage. Seventy percent of Americans &#8216;believe that the Democrats\u2019 loss of their 60 seat supermajority in the Senate is a positive move for the country.\u2019 Seventy percent. It\u2019s a number people get their brains and arms around. Seventy percent. <\/p>\n<p>And how about this spending freeze? What a trick this is. What\u2019s it going to do, by 2019, it\u2019s going to save $250 billion? That\u2019s the price of mustard for one hot dog at a baseball game when you consider the trillions this guy has wasted as far as the eye can see. All this is doing is locking in place massive, over the top spending increases last year. It\u2019s just locking them in place. Freezing discretionary spending, the entitlement spending, it\u2019s all but defense. This is like Jennifer Granholm saying that the green industry in Michigan is going to create 40,000 jobs in the next ten years, 40,000, when they\u2019re losing 600,000, a million jobs a year. This is the populist Obama, the left doesn\u2019t like this, Obama going triangulation. James Carville\u2019s out there urging Obama, you gotta bash Bush more, you gotta bash Bush more. I think that\u2019s sabotage. I think that\u2019s setting up Hillary. And make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Clinton is out there eyeing this. I know she\u2019s in Afghanistan now. I just saw some pictures. It\u2019s not pretty. <\/p>\n<p>The AP has run a series of pictures of Mrs. Clinton arriving &#8212; now I understand this &#8212; arriving after a long flight from somewhere. I don\u2019t know how long the leg was. But remember I got in all kinds of trouble during the primary before Operation Chaos by correctly pointing out that a number of Americans would not want to watch a 60-plus-year-old woman age in office. I caught hell for that \u2019cause, you know, there are many obvious things that you\u2019re just not supposed to say because of political correctness or sensitivity or what have you. But these pictures&amp;hellip; ahem. Despite all that, I think Mrs. Clinton is out there, and Bill Clinton and her are eyeing this situation. Obama\u2019s even saying, (paraphrasing) &#8216;I\u2019m willing to be a one-term president. Yeah. I want to do the right thing, even if it means being a one-term president.\u2019 Here it is. Grab audio sound bite number nine. This is last Monday on ABC\u2019s World News Tonight with the new anchorette infobabe Diane Sawyer, and she said: &#8216;In the middle of all this coming at you, do you think maybe one term is enough?\u2019<\/p>\n<p><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"299\" class=\"alignright\"\/>OBAMA: I\u2019d rather be a really good one term president.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> RUSH: No chance.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> OBAMA: Than a mediocre two-term president.

Look, if he doesn\u2019t care about being reelected, why go through all the machinations here of changing his perception? Why go after the banks, why change his procedure, why change his image if he\u2019s not concerned about being reelected. You know, they\u2019ve gotta be in a state of shock in the White House, because the sole thing that they were relying on was what they perceived, and it was real during the campaign, Obama as a messiah, Obama as an empty canvas, a blank slate, anybody could make him to be whatever they wanted him to be, and he\u2019s nothing more than the standard, ordinary, everyday political hack who isn\u2019t really very competent, who doesn\u2019t have any experience, certainly no executive experience. He\u2019s got some legislative experience from the Senate in Illinois and from the US Senate for 150 days and from community organizing and agitating, but he does not have any executive decision, like governors do, or CEOs. The buck stops with them. He farmed everything out. Health care, let Congress do it. No, he\u2019s out there saying: (paraphrasing) &#8216;By the way, I had nothing to do with that Cornhusker buyback. I had nothing to do with the Louisiana Purchase.\u2019 His people were up in the Senate negotiating all that. Rahm Emanuel and the boys were up there putting together all of these plans. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> He doesn\u2019t want any blame whatsoever so he\u2019s now washing his hands of it. This is why he didn\u2019t have his own plan ever. He just let Congress do it, same thing with the slush fund on stimulus. Charlie Cook, Investor\u2019s Business Daily: &#8216;Charlie Cook: Dems\u2019 &#8216;Car Wreck In Slow Motion\u2019 Continues.\u2019 This is yesterday\u2019s dispatch. &#8216;Veteran election analyst Charlie Cook wrote today that 2010 is not 1994 redux. But though the &#8216;circumstances and dynamics\u2019 are different, it appears to be a nationalized election, he said. Often in these elections, inferior, underfunded or less-organized candidates and campaigns beat more amply funded and better-prepared candidates and campaigns. &#8230; The Cook Political Report now predicts Republicans will win 25-35 House seats in the fall. That\u2019s up from 20-30 seats about a month ago and 15-25 seats a few months before that.\u2019 And if the election were held today, some of these analysts\u2019 analysis of the election were held today, it would be 103 seats. I read that yesterday that the Democrats would lose, Republicans would pick up. Looks like the Senate, if the election were held today, the Democrat number would go from 59 now to 52.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.66703.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: &#8216;New Republic: &#8216;Barack Obama faces a moment where his presidency just might collapse.\u2019 This is a liberal journal of opinion. Do you people realize how prescient I was? I was the only voice &#8212; over a year ago now &#8212; using the word &#8216;failure.\u2019 &#8216;I hope he fails.\u2019 I knew that this kind of stuff&#8230; My only fear back then was I didn\u2019t know&#8230; Because of the election. I was worried, seriously, that this country had turned, that with so many people on welfare, so many people receiving some sort of government assistance, that we had gone socialist. Because that\u2019s what I knew Obama to be. But most people do not look at these people, presidential candidates, ideologically. I, of course, do &#8212; and that\u2019s my new mission, as you people know: To make sure everybody looks at liberals and understands who they are. They lie. They can\u2019t be honest about what they want to do. <\/p>\n<p>They wouldn\u2019t stand a chance. They wouldn\u2019t get 20% of the vote in the country now, I\u2019m convinced. So they have to lie and they have to confuse and hide behind a mask, and they\u2019ve unmasked themselves this past year in their arrogance and conceit with their supermajority in the Senate. The country has finally been able to see what happens when unchecked liberalism rolls on down the highway. It\u2019s important that this realization be made and not lost. This ought to be a&#8230; In a sane world, with a super-informed populace, this would be a 20-year death knell for liberalism in this country, and this New Republic: &#8216;Barack Obama faces a moment where his presidency just might collapse.\u2019 &#8216;How does this president handle a crisis? Thus far, the answer is not at all encouraging. The current crisis is the election in Massachusetts of Scott Brown, now the forty-first Republican senator. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;His arrival in Washington has sent Democrats into panic mode &#8212; fearful that they too will be swallowed by a seething electorate &#8212; and caused many of them to flee in the other direction from health care reform. In short, Barack Obama faces a moment where his presidency just might collapse or, rather, risks heading into a wilderness where it would accomplish next to none of its ambitious goals\u2019 which would be a godsend if that actually happens. Listen to this. &#8216;Never before has a Democratic president inherited more propitious circumstances for advancing reform to fruition. And, although liberals might have griped as reform plodded its way through the various fiefdoms of the Senate, a monumental bill ultimately emerged, an impressive work of consensus that survived the interest-group ringer &#8230; Congress was one or two perfunctory roll-call votes away from sending a bill to Obama\u2019s desk. That\u2019s when Brown won his upset, instantly making the distance the bill needed to travel to the president\u2019s desk seem unbearably immense.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>I really &#8212; as I said earlier &#8212; think we had a chance to stop this beforehand, because these people all knew, they were governing against the will of the people. They all knew that\u2019s what they were doing. Now, I don\u2019t doubt that they would have twisted arms and done everything they could to ram that bill through. But the anger, the seething rage of the American people is understood by the left and the answer of course is, &#8216;Well, they\u2019re too stupid! They aren\u2019t bright enough to figure out what we are doing.\u2019 In fact, let\u2019s see. I\u2019ve got a sound bite that says that but I can\u2019t find where it is right now, but I do have Obama blaming Congress for the health care debacle. This is number ten, and this is also last night on ABC\u2019s World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer. She said, &#8216;People think you must say at the end of day that, &#8216;This is not who I was in 2008, these deals with Nebraska, with Florida&#8230;&#8221; She means 2009, I believe, and this is what Obama said.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: (stammering) W-well, well, well&#8230; Wait&#8230; Now, now, now&#8230; L-l-l-let\u2019s &#8212; let\u2019s hold on a second, Di-Diane. I mean I think that, ummm, this gets into a, uh, big mush. Uh&#8230; So &#8212; so let\u2019s just clarify. Uh, I didn\u2019t make a bunch of deals, all right? <\/p>\n<p>SAWYER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: There is a legislative process that\u2019s taken place in Congress, and I\u2019m happy to own up to the fact that I have not changed Congress in how it operates the way, uh, I would have liked. So that\u2019s point number one.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ohhhhh! So he had nothing to do with it. It\u2019s Bush\u2019s fault and now it\u2019s Congress\u2019 fault. This guy is so full of it. &#8216;B-b-b-b-but wait a minute, Diane! Let\u2019s get &#8212; Uh, this a big mush. Let\u2019s clarify. I didn\u2019t make a bunch of deals. All right.\u2019 He sent people up there to make a bunch of deals. It was Obama\u2019s Rahm Emanuel and everybody that was twisting arms. The news gets even worse for these people. &#8216;A CNN\/Opinion Research Corporation survey released [today] indicates that 25% of the public thinks the stimulus package has benefited the middle class,\u2019 and once again, CNN is playing with numbers. &#8216;Seven out of ten\u2019 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. &#8216;Seven out of ten\u2019 think it\u2019s good the Democrats lost their supermajority. That\u2019s 70%, CNN, and now they say &#8216;25% of the public thinks the stimulus has benefited the middle class.\u2019 So for those of you who are math challenged out there that means 75% do not believe it\u2019s helped. <\/p>\n<p>This is CNN. Way to hide the impact of the numbers, again. &#8216;One-third of the people questioned think the stimulus has helped low-income Americans with just over 40% saying the plan has benefited business executives.\u2019 Those 40% are idiots. The stimulus plan hasn\u2019t gone to business executives. That\u2019s TARP money. But you can\u2019t blame people for being confused. We got stimulus. We got slush funds. We\u2019ve got the TARP money. It\u2019s just a mess. None of it\u2019s working. Everybody has had a year now to see, full-fledged, that Obama\u2019s recipes for fixing things don\u2019t do anything but make it worse. And, by the way, it was Obama who totally made the deal with the unions. He said, &#8216;I didn\u2019t make any deals with Congress. I didn\u2019t make any deals with them. Congress is on their own.\u2019 Oh, yeah? He has all these union thugs come into the White House, and they threaten him with whatever, and he ends up exempting them from his 40% tax on Cadillac insurance plans. He did that right out in the open &#8212; and then, of course, he broke his promise to have C-SPAN televise all of the health care hearings. We have that. That\u2019s audio sound bite number 11. This is what he said.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Your question points out to a legitimate mistake that I made during the course of the year, and that is that we had to make so many decisions quickly in a very difficult, uh, set of circumstances &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Mmm. Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: &#8212; that after a while we started worrying more about getting the policy right than getting the process right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: But I campaigned on process. Part of what I campaigned on was changing how Washington works, opening up transparency, and I think it is&#8230; Eh, eh, you know&#8230; I think the health care debate as it unfolded legitimately raised concerns &#8212; not just among my opponents, but also among supporters &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA &#8212; that we just don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. And it\u2019s an ugly process, and it looks like there are a bunch of backroom deals.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He says he made a mistake. I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s really apologizing there, but did you hear? He\u2019s interested in policy and process. Folks, that\u2019s community-organizer kind of stuff. Process is not what you want in a president. You know people that love process? They love the process. As long as the process is ongoing, they\u2019re happy. But what stops process is a solution, the problem being culminated with a solution and then the process is finished. He loves process because that\u2019s where he gets to show his intelligence, supposedly. So it\u2019s all falling apart right around the Democrats, and they\u2019re still blaming Bush, and they\u2019re still blaming me and Sarah Palin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Well, let\u2019s get into the hot news.
