RUSH: Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. Here\u2019s a montage. We put this together to illustrate the hypocrisy. Obama\u2019s calls for ‘sacrifice\u2019 interspersed with details of his wife\u2019s vacation.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: (June 1, 2009) A sacrifice you may not have chose to make, but a sacrifice you are nevertheless called to make. <\/p>\n

ATTKISSON: The First Lady\u2019s group is said to occupy 60 rooms. A posh hotel, $3,000 to $6,000 a night. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: (June 1, 2009) Making a sacrifice for the next generation. <\/p>\n

ATTKISSON: The First Lady will visit the king and queen on the taxpayer\u2019s dime. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: (March 30, 2009) A set of sacrifices from all parties. <\/p>\n

ATTKISSON: The Air Force version of a 757: $146,000 for the round trip. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: (November 26, 2008) I\u2019m willing to make some sacrifice because there are people who are goin\u2019 through tough times. <\/p>\n

ATTKISSON: Expenses for Mrs. Obama\u2019s staff: That\u2019s $95,000 just for Secret Service. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: (January 12, 2009) Everyone\u2019s going to have to give. <\/p>\n

ATTKISSON: One newspaper called Mrs. Obama ‘Marie Antoinette.\u2019 <\/p>\n

OBAMA: (January 12, 2009) Everybody\u2019s going to have to have some skin in the game. <\/p>\n

RUSH: A little montage there of Obama telling us we all need to sacrifice and we all need to cut back, interspersed with details provided by Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News of the largesse, the luxury, the expenses of the vacation taken by Michelle (My Belle) Obama. You want to hear that again? Want to hear that again? It does resonate, does it not? It does permeate out there. It cuts through all the fog much like our similarly produced montage with Bob Torricelli. Okay, play it again. Sacrifice for you, trips to Spain for them. Oh! And have you heard, have you heard Lynn Sweet, the formerly respectable Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times she blogs for, said the real reason for the trip was that one of Michelle\u2019s friends was in pain. One of Michelle\u2019s friends was really suffering and Michelle had promised to spend some time with one of her friends. It was really some emotional disorders, emotional dysfunctions. Some very upsetting things happened in Michelle\u2019s friend\u2019s life, and Michelle had promised to spend some type with her. That\u2019s what Lynn Sweet, Chicago Sun-Times said. That\u2019s the real reason for the trip to Spain…with 40 people and a bunch of Secret Service people, and 60 rooms. ‘Cause she had a friend that\u2019s in the dumps, depressed, got the blues, down and out. So while Michelle was ministering to her depressed buddy in Spain, Obama has been demanding and asking of sacrifice from you. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: (June 1, 2009) A sacrifice you may not have chose to make, but a sacrifice you are nevertheless called to make. <\/p>\n

ATTKISSON: The First Lady\u2019s group is said to occupy 60 rooms. A posh hotel, $3,000 to $6,000 a night. <\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s Obama telling you to sacrifice, to give it up for America while his wife is in Spain. Now, the woman in question here. Her gynecologist\u2019s father had died, and so she had to spend some time with Michelle. Her gynecologist\u2019s father died. Now, are woman really that…? I wouldn\u2019t know, have to ask. Are women really that close to their gynecologists that when your gynecologist\u2019s father dies, you need a vacation in Spain? Her friend, who is the wife of the head of Obama\u2019s campaign fund and the gynecologist who delivered Michelle\u2019s daughter, her father died early in July. And she was depressed and distressed, and so she had to go to Spain with 40 other people in 60 rooms because her gynecologist\u2019s father passed away — the gynecologist who delivered Michelle\u2019s daughter. Now, you compare… We have a name for Michelle: ‘Moochelle.\u2019 Mooch, mooch, Moochelle Obama. That will tick \u2019em off, won\u2019t it, Snerdley? <\/p>\n

Moochelle Obama. You compare her with the hated Sarah Palin. Moochelle Obama keeps a personal staff of 24. Now we know why: To administer to gynecologist friends whose fathers pass away. Her personal staff includes a makeup artist and a hairstylist, a total annual government salary of more than $1.6 million for the personal staff of Moochelle Obama, plus their travel expenses. Her Secret Service for security is extra on these trips. Now, you compare and contrast that with the hate and the ridicule that is thrown at Sarah Palin who did what? She sold the governor\u2019s jet, she dismissed the government\u2019s cook, she prepared her own meals, she returned the governor\u2019s automobile and drove her own car, she dismissed the governor\u2019s security staff, and knows how to use her own gun. So Michelle\u2019s gynecologist, her father died. So she needed to go to Spain to sort it all out. All right, there you have it. That\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

I, as you\u2019ll hear when we come back, I, ladies and gentlemen, am being blamed for the worldwide media take on this trip.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, by the way, folks, this new explanation from Lynn Sweet, Chicago Sun-Times, of Michelle\u2019s friend\u2019s father dying, the gynecologist\u2019s father died, and she needed to spend time with Michelle, that\u2019s coming from one anonymous source. One anonymous source told Lynn Sweet, and now the rest of the media is running with this, \u2019cause they know that this does not look good. You ought to hear the sound bites, ‘the optics, the optics, the optics,\u2019 that\u2019s a word that every one of these media people have used, the optics don\u2019t look good. It\u2019s not the optics. It\u2019s the substance, you people. Remember Bush would go to vacation in Crawford, Texas, to a shack, Bush\u2019s house in Crawford, 1300 square feet, it\u2019s a shack, and he go down there, what would he do? He\u2019d ride a bike through the woods and he would chop wood and the media gave holy hell for taking all these vacations. <\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s taken more vacations in a year and a half than Bush took in four years in terms of total days and hours. And a lot of Bush\u2019s vacations were to his house in Crawford, Texas. The media was just bored being out in the sticks in Texas. Texas is a foreign country to them anyway, and they had to go down there and cover that. And when Bush did invite \u2019em he made \u2019em ride bikes with him showing how out of shape they are, but the optics are very, very bad. We never heard this explanation before for Michelle Obama when the trip was brought up to Robert Gibbs and David axle. All last week, the week before, at the White House briefing, ‘Why is Michelle doing this? Why is the family split up on his birthday?\u2019 We didn\u2019t hear, ‘Well, Michelle\u2019s gynecologist\u2019s father died.\u2019 In July. That\u2019s another thing. Michelle\u2019s gynecologist\u2019s father passed away in July, and the gynecologist said, ‘Gosh, I need to spend time with Michelle.\u2019 Okay, guess what? Let\u2019s call Spain. Let\u2019s see if we can get 60 rooms in Marbella. We\u2019ll put this trip together on the fly. Folks, it just doesn\u2019t wash out there. Here is media mantra on the optics of Michelle\u2019s trip being bad.<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: The optics of this trip are not good.<\/p>\n

ALLEN: Democrats are a little worried about the optics.<\/p>\n

WITT: The optics of this trip.<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: Democrats just don\u2019t like the optics.<\/p>\n

OLBERMANN: The white house should have thought of the optics.<\/p>\n

MALKIN: The optics couldn\u2019t have been worse.<\/p>\n

YGLESIAS: There is a question of optics.<\/p>\n

TODD: Worried about optics.<\/p>\n

WALLACE: There should be people at the White House who are solely focused on the optics.<\/p>\n

HENDERSON: In terms what the optics mean.<\/p>\n

KRAUTHAMMER: The optics are terrible in the middle of a recession.<\/p>\n

SANCHEZ: The bottom line answer is optics matter.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is the Journolist list still going? Are these guys still plotting at another location on how to cover this stuff? I mean that\u2019s from across the political spectrum. You have people on Fox, you have people all over the media using ‘the optics are bad.\u2019 Why can\u2019t they just say, ‘You know, these pictures don\u2019t look good.\u2019 The optics? ‘Cause they\u2019re trying to fool people in Rio Linda. That\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a story from Sunday in The Politico: FLOTUS\u2019 ‘Star Power in Demand.\u2019 This is Moochelle Obama. ‘With midterm elections looming, the White House has started debating how to unleash an untapped political weapon: Michelle Obama.\u2019 Now, they can\u2019t send Barack out there to help Democrats, but her star power is such that she\u2019s got great approval ratings. They\u2019re gonna send Moochelle out there to help wavering Democrat candidates. Ha!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Last night on MSNBC, somebody from the Center for American Progress, Matt Iglesias, was asked the following question: ‘Is it too defensive to say taking the trip at a time of economic unhappiness was tone deaf and that the White House should have thought of the optics first?\u2019<\/p>\n

IGLESIAS: You always have to think of optics. At the same time, you know, people do need a vacation. It\u2019s hard to know where it is you could have gone that you would be immune to criticism. Remember Bill Clinton always took criticism from the right for his sort of random vacations. Some of these people, Rush Limbaugh is very good at ginning up sort of phony controversy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it. So I, ladies and gentlemen, your host, responsible for the phony controversy worldwide. I\u2019ll tell you who ginned this up. It was the UK press. It was the UK media that had all the pictures, the ten-page stories of all the luxury, the hypocrisy, the expense. It was the UK media. Clinton\u2019s vacations? Clinton polled his vacations. What to wear, where to go, took a lot of \u2019em, who to grab on vacation, they polled that, too. But, you know, folks, again to remind you, when Bush went on vacation, he went home. He went to his little shack in Crawford and chopped wood. He even made world leaders come down there, Vladimir Putin went down there. The king of Saudi Arabia went down there for barbecues. His vacation was to his home and they were ridiculing Bush constantly. And this Iglesias idiot, ‘Well, you know, people do need a vacation.\u2019 Here\u2019s Axelrod last night on the Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer said, ‘Was the criticism of her vacation in Spain with her daughter fair?\u2019<\/p>\n

AXELROD: She wanted to take her daughter on a trip. They went with some friends of the family to celebrate another little girl\u2019s birthday. There aren\u2019t all that many places to go where you get privacy. Wherever you go, security\u2019s gonna come not because she asked for it but because that is the nature of her position in life. She\u2019s a very good mom, she\u2019s very committed, and she wanted to do something with her daughter.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, that was the original story, that the daughter wanted a trip to Spain. Oh, yeah, okay. How many of you, your daughter comes to you at age nine, ‘Mommy, mommy, I want to go to Spain.\u2019 ‘Fine. Great. We\u2019re gonna call 39 or 40 friends and we\u2019ll get 60 rooms over there in the hotel and we\u2019ll fly over in a Boeing 757 — whatever you want, Sasha, you want to go to Spain.\u2019 But then all of a sudden we get the story that it was Michelle\u2019s gynecologist\u2019s father, the gynecologist is a woman, her father died, she\u2019s depressed and wanted to spend time with Michelle. So they can\u2019t get their story straight. They know the optics don\u2019t look good. What they\u2019re essentially saying here is that my verbal optics are better than even the pictures that we\u2019ve all seen over there. And that\u2019s what\u2019s sticking in their craws, the reason why I\u2019m to blame. The pictures are one thing. The UK media did the pictures, see Michelle (My Belle) on the beach, the pine trees, the palm trees, you see Michelle (My Belle) touring, you see Michelle (My Belle) and the kid with the king and queen of Spain. You see all of this, a star-studded Hollywood fundraiser on Saturday night at the hotel. You see all those pictures. But that doesn\u2019t bother them. What bothers them is me, I gin it up, it\u2019s my optics they\u2019re worried about, the optics that I create that they\u2019re concerned about. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Tim Kaine, the Democrat National Committee chairman. He was on the Today show yesterday. Matt Lauer: ‘If you had a do-over here and you coulda planned the first lady\u2019s vacation with Sasha, would you have planned the trip that we\u2019ve seen her take giving the current economic conditions or do you think that was much ado about nothing?\u2019<\/p>\n

KAINE: It\u2019s wrong to talk about the first lady\u2019s family vacation as a politician. She\u2019s a mom. This was an opportunity for Michelle to join friends and friends\u2019 daughters with a vacation with her kids and give them some exposure to a part of the world that they hadn\u2019t been before and I don\u2019t think you talk about that, give it political analysis. I\u2019m glad that both the president and first lady are so focused on being good parents.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, fine and dandy. The Democrats will cover their bases any way they can. What I really want to know is, your the president of the United States and it\u2019s your birthday, and on your birthday, your wife, your daughter, and 40 friends hop a Boeing 757 to Spain for five days while you stay in Chicago and go to a barbecue with Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King and shoot hoops with some basketball players. Does anybody have any questions about those optics? <\/line> <\/line> BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Cokie Roberts, Good Morning America yesterday, cohost George Stephanopoulos asked her, ‘White House hopes this Michelle Obama vacation thing gonna blow over but they probably could have seen the criticism coming?\u2019<\/line> <\/line> ROBERTS: What real difference does it make? The fact is Spain could use some help, too, and we need Spain to be stronger economically than it is in the Eurozone. I mean, you can make this case (snickering) if you really need to. Whatever the First Lady does is not going to make any difference one way or the other. And, you know, she did go with her child. It was not like a — uh, a Jackie O trip, you know, where she was sort of whiling away her time on a yacht.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: What\u2019s the difference? What is the difference? So now the take from Cokie Roberts is that Michelle Obama was stimulating the Spanish economy. Well, Iran needs some help. Will the Obamas next vacation there? And I\u2019ll tell you who really needs some help: They\u2019re almost close to cannibalism in North Korea. Will Michelle (My Belle) Obama take a vacation in North Korea to help them out? <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Greg in Louisville, Kentucky, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. How you doing?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: This Obama crowd is amazing. What\u2019s ‘un-American\u2019 is the government owning a controlling interest in a major car company. I mean, that\u2019s what\u2019s un-American.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Absolutely — and, of course, let\u2019s not even mention that Jennifer Granholm is the architect of a state in decline like we haven\u2019t seen in I don\u2019t know how many years in this country. Maybe ever.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s why I was wondering. It seems like that Michelle Antoinette could comfort her friend on the Gulf Coast or in Nevada or California, one of the resorts out there where we really need some help. It\u2019s just an illustration of what I say about the liberals: You know, we got states like Indiana that are in surplus; we\u2019ve got states like Michigan and California that are billions of dollars in the hole. It\u2019s all about cutting the spending, and it\u2019s apparent Michelle Antoinette can\u2019t control her own spending and the government can\u2019t control its spending.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but you heard Cokie Roberts at ABC News say that Michelle was helping Spain\u2019s economy. Spain needs some help, too.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, maybe the Spanish can elect Democrats this fall.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it was a stimulus plan. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: But, you know, here\u2019s the thing. There are two stories. The first story was that Michelle\u2019s daughter said she wanted to go to Spain for her birthday, a vacation present, something like that. Then the story came out from Lynn Sweet at the Chicago Sun-Times: No, no, no, it\u2019s not that, Michelle\u2019s gynecologist\u2019s father died in July and needed to be comforted. Republican states — responsible states like Indiana — are now having to bail out these irresponsible states like California, Illinois, New York, Michigan, and so forth and so on. You talk about social justice. I\u2019m responding here to the caller who\u2019s talking about Michelle (My Belle) and why doesn\u2019t she stimulate others. By the way, did I see that they are begrudgingly gonna take couple days on the Florida Gulf Coast? Pensacola, is that where they\u2019re going?<\/p>\n

People like Obama call that ‘The Redneck Riviera.\u2019 The elites, the pointy-headed academics, the people who are all much better than we are, far superior to us, call the Gulf Coast ‘The Redneck Riviera. (interruption) ‘Any mongrels in The Redneck Riviera?\u2019 Well, Obama said he\u2019s a mongrel. So if he goes, there will be some mongrels. (interruption) Yeah. That\u2019s what… (interruption) Yeah, just… (laughing) That was just Snerdley asking me a question. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: How are the Obamas gonna squeeze in a redneck Riviera vacation in their already busy vacation schedule? I mean these people are taking four vacations this month. Well, maybe a couple of them in July, couple of them in August. They\u2019re supposed spend most of August in Martha\u2019s Vineyard, ten days up there. That\u2019s why Skip Gates goes. Skip Gates has a place on Martha\u2019s Vineyard so the Obamas are gonna go up there. And they\u2019ve been to Spain. Well, Obama didn\u2019t go, but these people vacation left and right and there\u2019s no criticism of it. ‘Well, presidents need their vacation time.\u2019 Bush didn\u2019t, of course. Bush didn\u2019t. Bush refused to play golf during the Iraq war. Obama plays golf, shoots hoops. ‘Presidents need their recreation time.\u2019 Bush didn\u2019t but Obama does. Where are they going to find the time to squeeze in a couple days in Florida? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
