RUSH: Here\u2019s Obama now walking to the steps of the Rose Garden. I saw a story last night that he is livid; he is just ticked as hell at British Petroleum for not stopping the oil leak — and he\u2019s going to express his anger, I am told, in this presser. We\u2019re not going to JIP it. We\u2019re not gonna. We\u2019re rolling on it and if that\u2019s indeed what he does, we will play for you whatever is relevant. Here\u2019s the thing about this: This is exactly what he wants. This is a great day for Obama! The market\u2019s down 200 plus; the euro is falling. More chaos, more tumult. Obama can look over all of this, and what they\u2019re doing is blaming capitalism. ‘Capitalism is responsible for where we in the United States are!\u2019 That\u2019s what they\u2019re saying. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what they\u2019re going to get away with saying. ‘George W. Bush. British Petroleum. Look what capitalism does! It destroys,\u2019 while Obama is in the process of destroying. Europe is socialist. That\u2019s what you focus on. But he loves this opportunity. The government has not helped at all with this spill. So they get to sit around as bystanders and spectators and now raise holy hell, if that\u2019s what he\u2019s doing here, with British Petroleum for not doing anything faster about the leak. Remember the Apollo 13, you\u2019ve seen the movie about the Apollo capsule that lost all of its power on the way back from the moon. A massive effort was made from all sector. Everybody who had anything to do with manufacturing the capsule — NASA, private sector people, government sector people — pooled all of their resources to come up with a plan to save the astronauts and get them back. And they did. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the kind of thing that needs to be happening here with this oil spill. And it\u2019s not. The government is sitting by, sending people down there, SWAT teams, taking notes, waiting for time to go by, putting out news, ‘The spill is even larger than we thought. The original figures larger than we thought,\u2019 and so now it\u2019s time to really dump, and instead of partnering up and instead of trying to fix this, this is another instance where the Obama regime is taking advantage of a crisis to advance their agenda. Okay, so here\u2019s the private sector, unable to clean up — or unwilling! That\u2019s what he\u2019s going to say: ‘They\u2019re unwilling because they don\u2019t care about the environment, and they don\u2019t care about all this oil that they\u2019re losing. They don\u2019t care about all the profits they\u2019re losing because of all the oil they\u2019re losing. No, no, no.\u2019 <\/p>\n

He\u2019s gonna use this as an opportunity to say, ‘See? I need more power to keep this stuff from happening. I need more power and government needs to be bigger to make sure this stuff doesn\u2019t happen. We can\u2019t rely on the private sector. You told you last week: They won\u2019t do the good things in the world. They don\u2019t do things because they have hearts. Government has to have the power to do those kinds of things.\u2019 I\u2019m guessing that that will be one of his themes today in the remarks he\u2019s making at the moment. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, apparently Obama did not come out and blame BP and get all angry and so forth. I was misled by speculation from ABC\u2019s The Note this morning, which suggested or… No, maybe it wasn\u2019t The Note. No! It was Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic on his blog suggested that he was really ticked off… (interruption) Oh, he did? Now I\u2019m being told he did get mad. Well, we\u2019ll have the audio sound bites coming up on this but apparently he said they\u2019re doing everything they can and then segued into introducing these new federal regulations over oil drilling. He said he didn\u2019t appreciate ‘the spectacle\u2019 of the oil companies and Halliburton pointing fingers at each other. So we\u2019ll wait \u2019til we get the audio sound bites of this. I\u2019m getting some conflicting reviews about Obama.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So here\u2019s Obama, and I guess he was angry. I was getting conflicting information. Marc Ambinder, I owe you an apology because he did predict and say that Obama was going to be angry. Here he is. This is the first of about five sound bites here.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Let me tell you, it is an anger and frustration that I share as president, and I\u2019m not going to rest or be satisfied until the leak is stopped at the source, the oil in the Gulf is contained and cleaned up, and the people of the Gulf are able to go back to their lives and their livelihoods.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now he rips the oil companies involved.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I know BP is committed to pay for the response effort, and we will hold them to their obligation. I have to say, though, I did not appreciate, uh, what I considered to be a ridiculous spectacle, uh, during the congressional hearings into this matter. You had executives of BP and Transocean and Halliburton falling over each other to point the finger of blame at somebody else.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Like you do!<\/p>\n

OBAMA: The American people could not have been impressed with that display and I certainly wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, how about you, sir? You still haven\u2019t stopped blaming George W. Bush and your network, MSNBC, is blaming Cheney! MSNBC wants Cheney brought into court to testify about this because he once ran Halliburton. Where are the congressional hearings on the regime\u2019s response to the oil spill? Yeah, we\u2019re gonna have congressional hearings on Halliburton and BP and Transocean, but where are the congressional hearings on what the regime is doing? We still don\u2019t know what Obama\u2019s done. We don\u2019t know what he\u2019s going to do. We don\u2019t know what he is doing except making speeches telling everybody how ticked off he is about this. Here\u2019s the next sound bite.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: There\u2019s enough responsibility to go around and all parties should be willing to accept it. That includes, by the way, the federal government. For too long, for a decade or more, there\u2019s been a cozy relationship between the oil companies and the federal agency that permits them to drill. It seems as if permits were too often issued based on little more than assurances of safety from the oil companies. That cannot and will not happen any more.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Uh huh. I knew it. I knew it.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: To borrow an old phrase: We will trust but we will verify.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, ho! So I was right. My instincts were right. I\u2019m sorry I apologized for being wrong, folks. ‘For too long there\u2019s been a cozy relationship between the oil companies and the federal agency that permits them to drill,\u2019 and these new regulations are simply going to give that agency more power. So everything I said was right. I should never doubt myself, never doubt myself when I\u2019m analyzing liberals. I didn\u2019t even hear what he was saying, I couldn\u2019t take the time to read the closed-captioning, and I knew what he was going to do. I knew what he was saying and he did say it. Here\u2019s the last sound bite we have of it.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: This is a responsibility that all of us share. The oil companies share it, the manufacturers of this equipment share it, the agencies in the federal government in charge of oversight share that responsibility. I will not tolerate more finger-pointing or irresponsibility.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I will not tolerate! I will not tolerate! Cool, detached anger here. How can he guarantee that this isn\u2019t going to happen again unless he bans all offshore drilling? The oil execs were asked by Congress who\u2019s to blame, by the way. So, yeah, there was finger-pointing but they were asked for their expert opinions — and if the oil execs hadn\u2019t answered they\u2019d have been held in contempt. So they really had no way to go.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to go back to Obama here for just a second, because something just struck me. I\u2019m not going to replay the sound bites. But he did say the government is to blame as well. You know what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s positioning himself as an outsider now. He\u2019s not of Washington. He\u2019s gonna go the outsider route. He\u2019s gonna attack everybody Inside Washington and everybody outside. So let\u2019s attack Halliburton and Transocean and BP, and let\u2019s attack the federal government. They didn\u2019t do their job, either. So he\u2019s the guy in charge, taking himself out of that role. He\u2019s blaming an agency or a bureaucracy for being too close, too much in bed with the oil industry. We need more regulations. So Obama the socialist is now becoming the outsider and trashing everything. <\/p>\n

Now, if — if — the federal government failed in its duties as he just said, then I assume the fishermen along the Gulf Coast will be able to sue Obama and the regime for damages because he\u2019s just said they share the blame. So those of you who have livelihoods that might be affected by the oil spill, the leader of the regime has just said that his regime holds some of the blame. You might look into suing them as well as BP and Transocean and Halliburton. I mean, he just said that the federal government is not free of blame — and the way these guys look at it, government is to blame so we need more government. It\u2019s the same thinking, ‘Look, we have a program that didn\u2019t work, and so we need more government to fix that program.\u2019 We did an interesting think piece on that earlier this week. So what we have here from Obama was just full-fledged, 100% phony drama, with himself extricated from it. <\/p>\n

‘I will not tolerate this! I will not tolerate that!\u2019 No, Mr. President, it is we who will not tolerate what you have done. It is we who no longer wish to tolerate what you are doing and how you operate. We don\u2019t want to tolerate your party; we don\u2019t want to tolerate your Congress. Your ways are the wrong ways. It\u2019s very clever of Obama: Blame the government but exempt himself. Blame his agency, blame the companies involved, but take himself out of it. He said, remember, just a month ago or so he wanted to expand offshore drilling. Remember that? He wanted to expand offshore drilling. Now he says that offshore drilling was allowed without the proper permits. It\u2019s a ping-pong ball here going back and forth. Anything he can do to avoid taking responsibility. And of course those permits were awarded and granted when? <\/p>\n

Bush! The Bush administration. I think it\u2019s time, as I suggested, that we need a seminar. We need a seminar on stopping the oil leak, just like Obama does it. You know, have a one-day Stop the Leak seminar. Have study groups reporting back to Obama after three hours and at the end of that one day, problem solved. ‘Experts have come up with the way to solve the problem. We had a full day\u2019s discussion on it.\u2019 So here\u2019s a guy at the end of the day praising yesterday in Buffalo, ‘Western New York,\u2019 saying, the economy\u2019s going great guns. Yeah? Tell that to the stock market. The stock market is down partially on a sour employment report yesterday that they were touting as great news, but it wasn\u2019t great news. So, essentially, Obama yesterday in Buffalo is out there praising himself for 10% unemployment. <\/p>\n

Yesterday he got a story in his house organ, the New York Times, suggesting that it\u2019s quite normal, this level of unemployment. We should expect it. Millions and millions of the jobs that have been lost will not be recreated. It\u2019s a different economy now. It\u2019s a different world. So he praises himself for 10% unemployment, a stagnant economy, gets some help from the New York Times, and is out there demanding results from everybody else? He\u2019s demanding results from BP, demanding results from Transocean, demanding results from Halliburton, demanding results from Congress (better hearings), demanding results from his own agency. (doing Obama impression), ‘I will not tolerate. I will not …Ugh. (grumbling) No more!\u2019 So this is a sneak peek into the Obama campaign profile now through November.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Obama. He\u2019s not going to tolerate this! What\u2019s the last thing Obama said he wouldn\u2019t tolerate? Pop quiz. Three…two…one. It was Iran nukes. The last thing Obama said he wouldn\u2019t tolerate was Iran nukes. He says BP is going to pay for the damage caused by the oil leaking. What I want to know is who\u2019s going to pay for the stimulus bill? Who is going to pay for Obama\u2019s damage to the private sector? Who\u2019s gonna pay for the utter disaster of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac? Answer: Us. It ought to come out of Obama\u2019s back pocket. That\u2019s the destructor.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m still struck here by Obama\u2019s little press briefing separating himself from everything going on here with this oil spill. (doing impression) ‘I\u2019m not going to tolerate it any further! I won\u2019t tolerate it!\u2019 I don\u2019t know how anybody can believe him when he says that the problem is that Big Oil is too close to federal regulators. <\/p>\n

Federal regulators hate Big Oil, especially this bunch of federal regulators, the federal regulators in this regime. They just despise Big Oil. So everything that I thought he would say before he said it, he actually said. Here is a guy, as I say, he\u2019s praising himself for 10% unemployment, demanding results from everybody else, saying, ‘They\u2019re going to pay for it! BP, yep, they\u2019re going to pay for it!\u2019 Well, who\u2019s going to pay for the damage this regime is doing to every sector of this country? Who is going to pay for the damage done to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Who is going to pay for the damage done to the private sector? Who is going to pay for everything this regime has done? BP can\u2019t hold a candle to the Obama regime when it comes to destruction. These people, every day, blaze a trail of it from the moment they get up \u2019til the moment they go to bed. <\/p>\n

Who\u2019s going to pay for the damage that liberal policies have done to businesses, to homes, to home values, to jobs? There was a story yesterday, everybody\u2019s all excited. The foreclosures seem to be leveling off. They\u2019re still happening! Everybody was very happy yesterday. ‘Yeah, the economy, it\u2019s not that bad.\u2019 How can a slower process of destruction be good news? It\u2019s just… So we\u2019re leveling off here when it comes to foreclosures, but repossessions are on the rise. Repossessions, home repossessions are on the rise. Wait \u2019til we get another ‘adjustment\u2019 in the adjustable rate mortgages. We\u2019ve got a volatile stock market. The European Union is hanging by a thread. The euro has started to level off a little bit today, but it\u2019s plunging. <\/p>\n

I said in the first hour — one of the things I got distracted saying and I distracted myself here. But I started the day wondering if we might have a repeat of Black Wednesday in 1992. That\u2019s the day that George Soros destroyed the pound. When the program started today, we were over 200 down on the Dow, and the euro was plunging, after a $1 trillion bailout earlier this week for Greece. Sarkozy is threatening to pull out of the European Union, and it\u2019s all based on the fact that nothing\u2019s real. Nothing is real. None of this financial stuff has been real. It\u2019s all been down with fake money. There hasn\u2019t been that much wealth. We really did used to create genuine wealth in this country. But right now, our wealth is tied up in debt, primarily government debt. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s consumer debt as well, not to mention the homeowner debt that people are just walking away from. And now Obama\u2019s out there applauding himself and demanding results from everybody else. So the regime tells us that what we need is more government to fix government, more taxes to fix government, more spending to fix government. Isn\u2019t that always the answer? You have a government program they come up with, it fails, and you need another government program to fix the previous failing government program. We\u2019ve got so many redundant welfare programs. We have so many redundant health care programs: Medicare, Medicaid, Medicaid Part B, Medicare Part D. We\u2019ve got so many redundant giveaway programs. <\/p>\n

We find waste and fraud and they never work, and so we have another program to fix that program which requires new tax increases, bigger government, a new agency, a whole bunch of czars, and nothing ever gets fixed. Obama is running a government that wastes hundreds of billions of dollars a year. He\u2019s running a government that is destroying private property, my friends, destroying home ownership, destroying jobs. And he\u2019s concerned about who\u2019s gonna pay for the damage in the Gulf. British Petroleum has already spent $450 million trying to fix this and they\u2019re going to be spending much, much more. The audacity of this guy to point to British Petroleum and Transocean, when he is single-handedly destroying what was the engine of prosperity, never known anywhere else but the United States of America in this whole world. <\/p>\n

Who\u2019s gonna pay for the failing public schools? This situation in Highland Park, Illinois, we\u2019re learning a lot more about this assistant principal. She is a pure, far-left fringe radical. This is not the first political decision that this woman has made, this Ebson, whatever her name is. This woman is as far off the deep end as any of Obama\u2019s czars. I mean, to the point of having seminars in school with the kids where they have to understand about homosexuality, the parents are not allowed to stop this. It was just brainwashing propaganda, indoctrination — and not just homosexuality, just a bunch of other left-wing sacred cow, seminal issues. She\u2019s using these kids to advance her own political agenda — and I remind you, back during the Olympic boycott of the eighties, the same people said, ‘We shouldn\u2019t punish these athletes!<\/line><\/line>‘Why, the athletes are the essence of purity and innocence. Jimmy Carter should not be punishing these athletes, the kids, for what the Soviet Union did in Afghanistan,\u2019 but now we can use the kids, the liberals who claim they\u2019re for the kids, for the children. Now they can be used as pawns. Public schools are failing. Who\u2019s gonna pay? Who is going to pay for the damage being done by illegal immigration? Do you realize we have videotape, or audiotape of the mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, saying that illegal immigration has added positively to the Los Angeles and Southern California economy? We have an attorney general who condemns an immigration law in Arizona he has not read. It\u2019s ten pages long! He hasn\u2019t read it, he hasn\u2019t been briefed, he cannot be made to say, ‘Yeah, Islamic terrorism is responsible for the potential Times Square truck bomb.\u2019 <\/line><\/p>\n

He can\u2019t say it. Just can\u2019t say it! My point here is, folks, you can look at BP if you want, and you can look at the spill and you blame \u2019em all you want, but liberalism and socialism have done more damage to more people than any oil company, than any insurance company, than any coal company, or anyone or thing in the private sector could ever do. The lives ruined, the homes lost, the jobs destroyed, the happiness destroyed, the contentment destroyed, the dreams of a nice future literally destroyed by this regime and their ideology — socialism, liberalism, statism, whatever it is you want to call it. Nobody regulates the regulators! Nobody regulates the politicians. Where are the congressional hearings on what Obama is doing, has done, or will do about the spill? Where are those hearings? <\/p>\n

Too bad Obama\u2019s not mad at 10% unemployment. I\u2019d like to see him get mad at illegal immigration. I\u2019d like to see him get mad that our southern border is one of the most dangerous places in the world. Instead, he\u2019s mad at the state of Arizona for trying to protect itself. He\u2019s mad at people for using the term ‘Islamic terrorism.\u2019 He\u2019s still hoping that it\u2019s a tea party that wants to blow up Times Square. They found three more people involved in this Times Square thing, and they\u2019re not from Texas, folks! They\u2019re from Pakistan. And the government so doesn\u2019t want that to be! The regime would much prefer that this guy\u2019s partners be from Texas. I\u2019m not making it up. That\u2019s their fervent hope. So we have destruction all around us, including the oil spill. But that\u2019s chump change compared to what the regime is doing to the people of this country, and we haven\u2019t even gotten to the tax increases that are gonna hit next year. <\/p>\n

You talk about taking dreams away, making prosperity for your children and grandchildren even tougher to attain if this stuff isn\u2019t reversed and rolled back? And then we have Obama in a fit of pique yesterday saying the Republicans drove the car in the ditch and they\u2019re not getting the keys back? They\u2019re not getting the keys back. I don\u2019t think he originated that. I think some idiot congressman did, but I\u2019m not sure who. I know I\u2019ve heard it before; he may be repeating himself. He\u2019s not angry about what the United Auto Workers did to the auto industry. He didn\u2019t care who paid for that. He just nationalized them. Too bad he\u2019s not angry at the National Education Association for destroying education in this country. Too bad he\u2019s not angry at the government of Mexico and its role in promoting illegal immigration. No, who\u2019s he mad at? Me! He\u2019s mad at me and anybody else who criticizes him. He\u2019s not mad at Iran. He hates the tea party, calls \u2019em ‘tea baggers.\u2019 He doesn\u2019t like Sarah Palin. Look at his enemies list, and most of it — most of his enemies — are to be found within the United States border. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
