RUSH: I want to go back up to audio sound bite number five, Ed. This is me back on April 30th and this is discussion here about Obama and the oil slick.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: What a teachable moment! Obama had a press conference today, the original purpose of the press conference — not a press conference, he had a ceremony outside the Oval Office in the Rose Garden — and the purpose of it was to tout a non-existing economic growth rate. The actual growth rate\u2019s about 1.6%. I\u2019ll explain how that happens in mere moments. But something got in the way of this. That damn oil slick. Obama\u2019s Katrina. That damn oil slick just got in the way so he had to give some lip service to the oil slick, (imitating Obama) ‘It\u2019s all British Petroleum\u2019s fault, they gotta clean it up, I\u2019m sending some czars down there. Now let me tell you what I really came out here for,\u2019 and look at these people, and he had seven or eight props up there disguised as human beings to tout new jobs in the so-called clean energy sector and so forth. It is clear this guy does not really want to be president. He doesn\u2019t want to deal with the country\u2019s problems. He does not have any desire to manage. He can\u2019t be bothered with the responsibilities of his office. He simply is wanting and is imposing his ideology without distraction.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. I\u2019d revise a little bit: He wants to be president, but I don\u2019t think he looks at it as an honor. I really don\u2019t. Continuing what I was saying in the previous half hour, I think to him this is more of a job and a mission. He has to transform this country. He knows he\u2019s going to be a one-term president. He knows he\u2019s gotta get it done in four years, and he\u2019s well on the way. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s honored to be president. I mean, his wife said the first time she\u2019d been proud of the country was when he was nominated. I bet this is the first time he\u2019s been proud of it since he president. I don\u2019t think this is an honor to him. I think he\u2019s got a job to do. He has to tear this country down and rebuild it in a way he thinks it\u2019s more just and more fair. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a mission. It\u2019s a mission, not an honor. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s no big deal. In fact, he\u2019s going to be happy to move out of the White House. He doesn\u2019t like being there in the first place. ‘It\u2019s no big deal. Look who lived there: A bunch of white racists!\u2019 He doesn\u2019t like it there. He wants to move back to Hawaii or Chicago or whatever. He\u2019ll put up with it there, but that\u2019s just where you have to go when you\u2019re president. Me, I would never want to leave the office. If I were elected president, you couldn\u2019t get me outta there. (interruption) He likes the perks, yeah. He likes Air Force One and all the perks and the parties and so forth. But he\u2019s going to be able to do that as an ex-president. He\u2019ll have a budget to do that. Believe me, he\u2019s not going to be a piker when he walks outta there. Anyway, I just took the occasion of a couple lines in there to amend my thought. My point of this was that the whole oil slick is a distraction. It\u2019s a political inconvenience. Last night on CNN, Anderson Cooper 135, he spoke with James Carville about the Gulf Oil spill. Cooper said, ‘Early on conservatives were attacking the Obama administration trying to say, ‘Look, this is Obama\u2019s Katrina,\u2019 and they fought back against that but you do have to raise questions about his interior department and the EPA.\u2019<\/p>\n

CARVILLE: You absolutely do, and I think I\u2019m as good a Democrat as most people, and I think the administration has done some good things. They are risking everything by this go-along-with-BP strategy they have. They\u2019re seem like lackadaisical on this. They seem like they\u2019re inconvenienced by this. This is some kind of giant thing getting in their way and somehow or another if you let BP handle it, it will all go away. It\u2019s not going away! It\u2019s growing out there. It is a disaster of — of — of the first magnitude, and they gotta go to plan B.<\/p>\n

RUSH: James, Plan A is letting the disaster multiply. James… See here, James Carville is on the same page as El Rushbo. (doing impression) ‘It\u2019s almost like they\u2019re inconvenienced by this out there. It\u2019s almost like some kind of giant thing getting in their way.\u2019 It is. Afghanistan\u2019s the same thing, James. Afghanistan\u2019s getting in the way. It\u2019s just a little political inconvenience. They got more important things to do here. Let BP handle it. But, James, it\u2019s even worse than that. The longer it goes on, the better! You blame BP even more. You blame oil even more. You blame the private sector. You speed up the implementation of your CAFE standards. I just find this is interesting. You got Carville (doing impression), ‘I think I\u2019m as good a Democrat as anybody out there. I like my gumbo like anybody else, but it\u2019s an inconvenience. It\u2019s just an inconvenience. It\u2019s like they don\u2019t care.\u2019 He\u2019s exactly right. When\u2019s the last time you ever thought…? Let me ask it this way: What\u2019s Media Matters going to do when they find out Carville is agreeing with me, and what are Carville\u2019s buddies going to do when they find out he is agreeing with me? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
