Now, wait \u2019til you hear this. Who is responsible for making Obama veer so far to the left? Who could be responsible for this? Question: &#8216;Reagan did a lot on his first year, lot of presidents, George W., they think it\u2019s his first year, I didn\u2019t go, but he did. They tend to get credit for them, to get reelected. This time there seems to be a disconnect. Maybe it\u2019s because he wanted to be progressive things and not just cut taxes.\u2019 Now, that&#8230; I don\u2019t know how you answer that question. It\u2019s coherent, but Sam Stein takes a stab at answering this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"193\" class=\"alignright\"\/>STEIN: Sure, well, there\u2019s the only things two things here. One is that, you know, the galvanizing force in the campaign, 2008, was that he was gonna bring civility to politics. Well, that\u2019s a two-way street. You need to have the other side &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS (interrupting): How do you do that in a world of Rush Limbaugh and &#8212; and Glenn Beck &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>STEIN: You don\u2019t, and that\u2019s the problem.<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS: &#8212; setting the tone and then forcing the left to respond to that and the Congress and in the media and forcing a kind of an environment in which it\u2019s all polarized. How do you say, &#8216;Well, I\u2019ll be a reasonable center-left politician in that environment?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You heard right: I, El Rushbo, forced Obama to the left. Obama was elected and he was gonna bring civility. He was gonna lower the sea levels. Speaking of that, have you seen where Obama\u2019s travel itinerary might change &#8212; he might have to come home sooner &#8212; because that volcano eruption is gonna make flying into the volcanic dust problematic? Why? The guy was gonna lower the sea levels. Why can\u2019t he do something about the volcanic eruption? Something as insignificant as a volcanic eruption is going to change a travel itinerary of Little Barry? That\u2019s what they\u2019re calling him in Indonesia. So it is I, El Rushbo. Obama walks into Washington; he\u2019s gonna be all civil and he\u2019s gonna be polite. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to have a new era of everybody getting along with everybody. We\u2019re gonna bring civility to politics, but, &#8216;It\u2019s a two-way street, you need on the other side,\u2019 and the other side was me, and I, of course, didn\u2019t permit it, and therefore that forced Obama to the left. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Last night on Hardball on MSNBC, Matthews interviewed Huffing and Puffington Post political reporter Sam Stein.
