And AP said Obama should get credit for the success in Iraq. I almost flipped out. I couldn\u2019t believe it. Here the president: He is blaming Bush for all the jobs lost, he\u2019s blaming them for the economy, everything. So he\u2019s willing to blame Bush for something that he didn\u2019t do, but yet he wants to take credit for something that Bush did! And AP is going to be a willing accomplice in the media, and Matthews? You just gave plenty of examples of how they just circle the wagons around this guy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They can\u2019t stop doing it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, Vice President Bite Me got this all started by claiming that &#8216;our\u2019 Iraq policy, the Obama Iraq policy was working and was one of the high points of the regime. Of course everybody knows that from Bite Me on down to Obama, they spent their entire years prior to ascending to the presidency bashing the mission, trying to destroy it, secure defeat. Harry Reid said, &#8216;This war is lost.\u2019 Hell, Obama announces the &#8216;troop withdrawal\u2019 and combat troops are continuing to pour in there. (laughs) Combat troops are continuing to pour into Iraq. You\u2019re right, this is just the media trying to cover Obama\u2019s tracks and give him some high praise. It\u2019s fascinating, too, when you consider that for all those years the media and the Democrats did everything they could to discredit the war, and they tried to convince as many Americans as possible it was unjust and immoral and a total waste of time, a waste of troops, a waste of money &#8212; and now, all of a sudden, &#8216;It was a great adventure! It was a great example of American compassion and military might. It was so great a mission that we have to give Obama credit for it.\u2019 They think we\u2019re stupid, and we\u2019re not. We don\u2019t buy this anymore. They are increasingly, the media, more and more increasingly living on an island divorced from all of us and reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: To the phones in Hartford, Connecticut, we start with Steve.
