RUSH: The New York Times was able to ferret out a bit of deception. The story of the day is in the New York Times, a brazen bit of deceit. Obama goes to his press conference yesterday while everybody thinks that the top kill method is not only in progress at that moment but that we are having some success. However, the Times inadvertently publishes — I can\u2019t believe they did this on purpose. Well, let me just read what they say here. This is exactly from the Times story: ‘The top kill effort has proceeded in fits and starts. BP officials, who along with government officials created the impression early Thursday that the strategy was working, disclosed later that they had stopped pumping on Wednesday night [the night before] when engineers saw that too much of the drilling fluid was escaping along with the oil.\u2019 So when Obama did the press conference, ‘Plug the hole! Just plug the hole up!\u2019 <\/p>\n

By the way, Sestak is the hole they really want to plug out there, folks. That\u2019s the hole Obama really wants to plug. This Sestak report, that\u2019s their top kill. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve gotta try to sweep away. But this story in the New York Times, they bury the lede and they don\u2019t get the headline right, but this is amazing. This is a brazen bit of deceit. Obama needed some action going on. He needed some semblance of success so he could go out there and claim credit for this. (doing impression) ‘I\u2019m in charge. Nothing is going on out there \u2019til they\u2019ve been approved up by me. Uhhhh, they\u2019re my Minerals Management Service people and Coast Guard. No, I\u2019m in charge from day one. Laser-like focus!\u2019 It turns out that the top kill procedure was not even going on yesterday. It had stopped the night before. <\/p>\n

So we\u2019re left here to wonder just what is real and what isn\u2019t real with this administration — and here we get ‘The top kill effort has proceeded in fits and starts. BP officials, who along with government officials created the impression early Thursday that the strategy was working…\u2019 Exactly WHO ‘created the impression…the strategy was working\u2019? The Los Angeles Times… I think you\u2019ll find, folks, the Los Angeles Times is the favored repository for so-called exclusive stories from the Obama White House, because obviously by geographical measures, they\u2019re not in Washington. I mean they have a bureau there, but the LA Times is a whole coast away. They\u2019re not inside the Beltway. They\u2019re outsiders. And it was the LA Times who first yesterday broke the story that the top kill was working. If you reread their article: ‘Top Kill Plugs Gulf Oil Leak Official Says.\u2019 I remember Drudge had a headline yesterday at MSNBC: ‘Plug May Be Happening!\u2019 in the middle of the press conference. They weren\u2019t even plugging it! The top kill had been suspended the night before, and there are stories in the LA Times: ‘Top Kill Plugs Gulf Oil Leak Official Says.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t true. None of it was true, and now we\u2019re told we won\u2019t know until Sunday whether or not this method is working. We all hope it does. This press conference yesterday, all kinds of people are now weighing in. It was a disaster. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, here\u2019s the LA Times story on the oil leak. This is where Obama goes. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find that the LA Times is used by the administration to drop exclusive news items. The LA Times seems to have been the one that broke the story yesterday that the top kill method was working. They only cited Admiral Allen of the Coast Guard. In fact they go on to say: ‘As of early Thursday morning, neither government nor BP officials had declared the effort a success yet, pending the completion of the cementing and sealing of the well.\u2019 But today\u2019s New York Times says, ‘BP officials, who along with government officials created the impression early in the day that the ‘top kill\u2019 strategy was working, disclosed later that they had stopped pumping the night before when engineers saw that too much of the drilling fluid was escaping along with the oil.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So the Sestak thing is what they\u2019re really worried about but they\u2019re using it to cloud this. I mean, there is raging incompetence here over the oil spill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
