RUSH: President Obama hijacked the daily press briefing today, took it away from Gibbs. Obama is under pressure. He hadn\u2019t had a press conference in, what, seven months now? Since July. He hadn\u2019t had a press conference, hadn\u2019t met with the press, since July. He\u2019s going to have them frequently. He hasn\u2019t had one. So he went in there and talk about his dog and pony show with the Republicans on health care, and the dog and pony show on the jobs bill (which is nothing more than an unemployment compensation benefits expansion). We have four sound bites here just to illustrate. I just got the roster, so I haven\u2019t checked. Let me see. (muttering) We don\u2019t have it but no big deal. I\u2019m not complaining, not complaining. <\/p>\n

I just noticed that a reporter in there actually asked my question: ‘President Obama, small businesses say that they aren\u2019t hiring because they don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming. They don\u2019t know how much it\u2019s going to cost to be in business with your health care bill (if it passes or not), whatever tax increases you have planned, cap-and-trade legislation. They\u2019re holding back.\u2019 And Obama said, ‘No, no, no. That\u2019s not right. It\u2019s because they can\u2019t get loans.\u2019 So I just want you small business people that did not hear this to know. A reporter actually told the truth in a question: You aren\u2019t expanding or hiring anybody because you don\u2019t know what you face down the road expense-wise. You don\u2019t know what the cost of doing business is going to be. And Obama said, ‘No, no, no, no, that\u2019s not at all it! They can\u2019t get loans.\u2019 Every small business in this country needs to hear that answer. <\/p>\n

Every one of them, because Obama\u2019s basically now telling you, ‘You don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing,\u2019 and this guy has never operated a payroll or a small business. He wouldn\u2019t know the first thing to do if a small business fell into his lap. His inclination is to tax every one of them out of business and take away every bit of profit, and then you stay in business with zero profit. That\u2019s what his objective is. Let\u2019s go to the sound bites. Obama says he\u2019s open to new ideas. In a surprise visit to the White House Briefing Room, Major Garrett of Fox News: ‘After meeting with you, John Boehner came out and told us that the House cannot pass the health care it once passed, the Senate can\u2019t pass the health care bill it once passed, so why would we have a conversation about legislation that can\u2019t pass? As part of that he said that you and your White House congressional Democrats should start over entirely from scratch on health care reform. How do you respond?\u2019<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I\u2019ve got these goals. When I was in Baltimore talking to the House Republicans, they indicated, we can accomplish some of these goals at no cost. And I said, ‘Great. Let me see it,\u2019 and, eh, eh, eh… You know, I have no interest in doing something that\u2019s more expensive and harder to accomplish if somebody else has an easier way to do it. So I\u2019m going to be starting from scratch in the sense that I will be open to any ideas — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, my God.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — to help promote these goals.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s open! (laughing) He\u2019s willing to start from scratch if somebody can tell him how his ideas can be made to work, which is not ‘starting from scratch.\u2019 The next sound bite is the president adding to his previous answer.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: What I will not do — what you don\u2019t think makes sense and I don\u2019t think the American people want to see would be — another year of partisan wrangling around these issues —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. I can\u2019t. There hasn\u2019t been any ‘partisan wrangling.\u2019 The wrangling has all been within the Democrat Party. The House Democrats are saying ‘no\u2019 to the Senate Democrats and verse vice-a. The Republicans, up until Scott Brown just a couple weeks ago, had no say in this and they were treated as such. There hasn\u2019t been partisan wrangling! Folks, you Republicans, do not fall for this. Do not fall for this bipartisan garbage. It\u2019s a trap. Get the word out of your lexicon. ‘Bipartisan\u2019 is a code word for you caving to Democrat and Obama ideas. The American people have voted at the polls for Scott Brown and in Virginia and New Jersey. They don\u2019t want bipartisanship. They want to stop this! You have to become the ‘just say no\u2019 Republicans and wear that proudly. The ‘hell no\u2019 Republicans! Don\u2019t be afraid of it. Trust me. (sigh) Scott Brown said he\u2019s the 41st vote against it, and look what happened: They lost the Kennedy seat! Do not be timid! Ahh! A little Howard Dean impersonation. Here\u2019s the next of this worthless sound bite.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — another six months or eight months or nine months\u2019 worth of, uh, hearings in every single committee in the House and the Senate in which there\u2019s a lot of posturing. Let\u2019s get the relevant parties together. Let\u2019s put the best ideas on the table. My hope is that we can find enough overlap that we can say, ‘This is the right way to move forward, even if I don\u2019t get every single thing that I want.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s BS because he\u2019s not going to move forward unless he gets every single thing he wants. That\u2019s what this whole exercise is about. He wasn\u2019t through.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: But here\u2019s the point that I made to…uh…John Boehner and — and Mitch McConnell. Bipartisanship can\u2019t be that I agree to all the things —<\/p>\n

RUSH: (yawns)<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — that they believe in or want and they agree to none of the things I believe in and want —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly what it is!<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — and that\u2019s the price of bipartisanship.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly what it is!<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Right? Eh, eh, eh — B-but that\u2019s sometimes the way it gets presented. I\u2019m willing to move off some of the press conference of my party in order to meet them halfway, but there\u2019s gotta be some give from their side as well.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What give? They don\u2019t… (sigh) This is solely about your plan. Oops, sorry. You don\u2019t have a plan. This is solely about two competing Democrat plans, of which the Republicans played no role in crafting. There\u2019s nothing for the Republicans to give up. The only option is for them to join you in this, which is the trick, and they better not do it. This is not going to fool people. I am not going to let this fool people. This is just pathological. This is Saul Alinsky. Now, the last bite here, unidentified reporter: ‘Are you saying, are you saying…?\u2019 This from the press CORPSE. ‘Are you saying that the bill can\u2019t pass?\u2019<\/p>\n

OBAMA: What I agree with is that the public has soured on the process that they saw —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No! <\/p>\n

OBAMA: — over the last year.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape! They\u2019ve not soured on ‘the process\u2019! They\u2019ve soured on the substance! They have substance in their minds. They know exactly what this is. The process probably ticks them off, too, but it\u2019s not the process they\u2019ve soured on, Mr. President. It is you! It\u2019s you — and it\u2019s Harry Reid and it\u2019s Pelosi and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and Ted Kennedy, et al. It is you the public has soured on. Mr. President, the Gallup poll yesterday: 90% of the American people disapprove of the liberal Democrat Congress. They have soured on you. (sigh) Here\u2019s the rest of it.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: That actually contaminates how they view the substance of the bills. This gives an opportunity not just for the Democrats to say, ‘Here\u2019s what we think we should do,\u2019 but it also gives Republicans a showcase before the entire country to say, ‘Here\u2019s our plan, here\u2019s why we think this will work,\u2019 and, you know, one of the things that John Boehner and — and Mitch McConnell both said is they didn\u2019t think that the status quo was acceptable, and that\u2019s right there promising.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughs) The status quo is your stupid two bills! The status quo is not ‘the process.\u2019 This is a trick. This is an often-employed, Democrat trick to get the Republicans to cave in — in this case to nonexistent pressure from the American people who ‘just want everyone to get along.\u2019 The era of McCain is over, not the era of Reagan. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We have two more sound bites from President Obama as he hijacked the White House press briefing this afternoon, and here is the question I mentioned to you. It is from Jake Tapper of ABC: ‘According to business leaders, they say there\u2019s an uncertainty what they need to plan for because of the energy bill, because of health care, that\u2019s what they say. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s true or not, but that\u2019s what they say. What do you say when you hear that?\u2019<\/p>\n

OBAMA: The biggest uncertainty has been we just went through the worst recession since the great depression, and people weren\u2019t sure whether the financial system was going to melt down and whether we were going to tip into an endless recession. So, let\u2019s be clear about the sources of uncertainty in terms of business investment over the last several years. A huge contraction, trillions of dollars of losses in people\u2019s 401(k)s, people have a lot of debt coming out of the previous decade that they still haven\u2019t worked out, the housing market losing a whole bunch of value.<\/line><\/line>RUSH: There you go, blaming Bush, Jake Tapper says, look, these business guys are not expanding because they don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming at them down the road, what do you say to that? Blame Bush, blame Bush, blame Bush, blame Bush. And so Tapper said: ‘A small business, not affected by the regulatory reform, a small business. You have proposed, you would acknowledge, a bold agenda, and a small business might wonder, I don\u2019t know how the energy bill will affect me, I don\u2019t know how the health care reform bill will affect me, I better hold off on hiring.\u2019<\/line><\/p>\n

OBAMA: The small businesses I\u2019ve talked to and I\u2019ve been talking to a lot of them as I have been traveling around the country, their biggest problem is right now they can\u2019t get credit out of their banks, so they\u2019re uncertain about that, and they\u2019re still uncertain about orders. You know, do they just have enough customers to justify them doing more? It\u2019s looking better at this point, but that\u2019s not the rationale for people saying I\u2019m not hiring. Let me put it this way. Most small businesses right now, if they\u2019ve got enough customers to make a profit and they can get the bank loans required to boost their payroll, boost their inventory and sell to those customers, they will do so.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, man, you don\u2019t borrow money to make payroll. He really does not have a clue. He is absolutely clueless. Of this I am certain. It\u2019s dangerous because he\u2019s got these people in his crosshairs but he is clueless, small business people — I want to play this again. Recue it, Mike. Let me put it this way. ‘Most small businesses right now, if they\u2019ve got enough customers to make a profit –‘ No, they don\u2019t. Where in the world does this come from? ‘– and they can get the bank loans required to boost their payroll, boost their inventory and sell to their customers, they will do so.\u2019 You don\u2019t borrow to meet payroll except as a last resort. You lay people off. This is dangerously naive, ignorant. Coupled with his overall view of business anyway, he doesn\u2019t like profit. Folks, the sheer ignorance combined with a cockiness and an arrogance is just unbelievable. ‘The small businesses I\u2019ve talked to and I\u2019ve been talking to a lot of them, they can\u2019t get credit out of their banks,\u2019 and then later on he says they can get credit to boost payrolls. Here listen to it again, I mean you small business people, you need to hear this. This is a guy who\u2019s telling you, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing. This is the president of the United States saying, no, you\u2019re wrong. It\u2019s not that you\u2019re waiting to see what punitive policies of his come down the pike, no, you just think you can\u2019t get credit. Here it is again. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: The small businesses I\u2019ve talked to and I\u2019ve been talking to a lot of them as I have been traveling around the country, their biggest problem is right now they can\u2019t get credit out of their banks, so they\u2019re uncertain about that, and they\u2019re still uncertain about orders. You know, do they just have enough customers to justify them doing more? It\u2019s looking better at this point, but that\u2019s not the rationale for people saying I\u2019m not hiring. Let me put it this way. Most small businesses right now, if they\u2019ve got enough customers to make a profit and they can get the bank loans required to boost their payroll, boost their inventory and sell to those customers, they will do so.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Some do. I mean, some have enough customers to make a profit, but most don\u2019t. And you don\u2019t borrow money to make payroll. That\u2019s business 101. That is tough to get a loan to do that. I mean you go into the bank, ‘I want to expand the payroll, can you get me a loan?\u2019 the bank will say, ‘No, no, no, that\u2019s not how it works. Grow your business and let your profits pay for new hires.\u2019 I am aghast. I mean this is sheer unadulterated, undisguised idiocy. This is promoting, folks, the same tactic that put us in the mortgage crisis, the subprime mortgage crisis. Borrow money to make payroll and then go on the road to put yourself out of business and not pay the bank back, or loan money to people who have no hope of ever paying it back in the form of a mortgage because a government regulator is telling you you must and Janet Reno is promising you you\u2019ll be investigated if you don\u2019t, and then Barney Frank and Chris Dodd come along and say you better do this, this is affordable housing. And Obama wonders why the value of houses has plummeted, so many people are underwater, it\u2019s because so many people, God love \u2019em, who had no business getting a mortgage, got them.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: New York state, we have Carol on the phone. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I just wanted to call in and say that I\u2019m in agreement with the sentiments that small businesses are concerned about moving forward. I\u2019m a small business owner, I\u2019ve been in business for about the past ten years, and now I\u2019m finally starting to realize some growth and potential, and I\u2019m afraid to actually make the move that would make that enhanced because of the punitive measures that I may have to deal with down the line, and I don\u2019t know if I could survive those punitive measures. So you question whether or not you should go out on a limb and stick your neck out. <\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Have you heard the sound bite from President Obama we played about 20 minutes ago, 25 minutes ago?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I heard it a couple times and that\u2019s what caused me to call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Because he says that what you just said, you don\u2019t know your own business, it\u2019s because you can\u2019t get loans. He\u2019s talked to people like you. If I were you, I would be livid. This level of ignorance, lack of understanding or whatever it is is just appalling, and it\u2019s really dangerous. Here you are on the cusp of growth and you\u2019re afraid to do it because of what\u2019s coming down the pike!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it certainly gives you pause. I\u2019ll probably do it anyway because that\u2019s what it\u2019s about to live in this country. But I certainly — I\u2019m not doing it without having a squishy feeling in my stomach. No one has ever talked to me or asked me about, you know, my opinions on these matters from any political party. I will say that I am nervous, but I\u2019m going to probably have to put that aside and do my best. I know that I can get a loan. The loan is not the problem. It\u2019s the concerns that are the problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So are you going to try to build in some policies to dictate how you\u2019re going to run the business if the worst happens or if 50% of his agenda happens, or are you just going to go in and deal with it as it happens?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t think you can completely prepare because no one knows yet exactly how this will all play out. You do your best to respond and be as nimble as you can be, but still the whole object here, if you\u2019re an entrepreneur, is to grow, it\u2019s not to recede and run away, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ve dedicated myself, I\u2019ve given up so much over the years, there\u2019s so much deferred income so much, you know, the grains of sand through my hourglass which are my life, and to think that they\u2019re going to be ultimately redistributed else-wise is so horrible for me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Join the club. You\u2019re right on the money. You said you\u2019re on the cusp of expanding. What is expanding? Is it hiring more people? What is it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s hiring more people and buying a much larger facility to operate my business out of, and that would be the smart thing to do. And I probably will have to do it nonetheless. But I certainly am not doing it without wondering is this the noose that will hang me in the end because the expense of doing that will be something that will have to bear, in addition to whatever else may come along.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And you are going to have to take out a loan to do it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But that\u2019s not a problem?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no. We\u2019ve always been extremely careful. I have no real debt, of any kind. We\u2019ve always paid our own way all the way along and denied ourselves the income that you could pay yourself if you leveraged yourself more, in the hopes that when we finally were where we needed to be we would get that return back. Then to think that after all that time of being careful, not being risky, methodically denying ourselves when the point really came that we could grow that this would occur, it seems so punitive.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. I know. God bless you, best of luck to you. Keep us posted on how things go once this agenda settles in and realize there are a lot of people doing everything they can to stop it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
