RUSH: Yeah, it\u2019s audio sound bite 28. Robert Gibbs this afternoon at the White House said that Obama (the regime) is going to keep Goldman\u2019s money. They\u2019re not going to return the $1 million in campaign contributions from Goldman to the regime. The question was, ‘On Goldman Sachs: Anybody inside the White House suggested that [the regime] might want to give back any donations that came from Goldman Sachs personnel?\u2019<\/p>\n

GIBBS: The president doesn\u2019t take — and didn\u2019t in the campaign take — PAC money. Doesn\u2019t take money from registered federal lobbyists. Uhhh, and I think anybody that contributed to the campaign at any point knew where the president stood on regulating Wall Street and regulating the financial industry. From, again: That first speech on Wall Street in 2007, the second speech in March of 2008 — the same venue we\u2019re going to go to — and then anybody that watched the campaign from sort of mid-September on, obviously, uh, the focus was on, uh, what to do on Wall Street.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. What about Jack Abramoff? Where\u2019s the outrage here? Isn\u2019t Goldman\u2019s money as dirty as Abramoff\u2019s is? So Gibbs\u2019 point is, ‘Hell, no we\u2019re not giving the money back! They knew what they were in for. They knew what we were going to do. They had every idea what we were going to do to them. We made it clear we were out to destroy \u2019em, even from our speech in 2007 from Wall Street on. No, we\u2019re not giving the money back.\u2019 Yesterday in Washington, Capitol Hill, Harry Reid with a presser. Dana Bash at CNN had a little exchange with him about meetings between Dingy Harry and Wall Street executives.<\/p>\n

BASH: There\u2019s a report that you have also had meetings with Wall Street executives and specifically a fundraiser with them in New York including executives at Goldman Sachs. Is that accurate, and how does that play into this dynamic?<\/p>\n

REID: I\u2019m leading the effort to rein in Wall Street, to make them more accountable and end the ‘too big to fail.\u2019 And while Republicans, it seems, are leading efforts to leave things just the way they are. Wall Street\u2019s responsible for economic disaster, and we must hold them accountable. So I\u2019m going to make sure that in this legislation I do everything within my ability to make sure that banks aren\u2019t too big to fail.<\/p>\n

BASH: Can you tell us about the fundraiser, sir?<\/p>\n

REPORTER: Did you have a fundraiser?<\/p>\n

REID LACKEY: Thanks, everybody! (hustles Reid away)<\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘Did you have fundraiser, sir?\u2019 ‘Thanks everybody,\u2019 and the aide says we\u2019re clearing out. Well, there you have it. So refuses to answer questions about his own Goldman Sachs Wall Street fundraiser. ‘Wall Street\u2019s responsible for economic disaster.\u2019 (laughing) Wall Street is responsible for economic disaster! (laughing) I\u2019m going to rein \u2019em in. (sigh) I\u2019m sorry to be laughing about this, \u2019cause it really isn\u2019t funny. This is Stalinist, and this is why I call these people a ‘regime.\u2019 It is government that\u2019s responsible for the financial collapse. I mean, there may be some people in Wall Street who played a role in it, but many of them were just following orders they got from government, just like they are now. (interruption) Yeah. Rush Limbaugh\u2019s too big to fail. Rush Limbaugh is too big to fail. Yeah, let \u2019em put me in that category: Rush Limbaugh. Yeah, you think they\u2019d bail me out?
