Now, imagine having the nation\u2019s taxes in the hands of a guy who couldn\u2019t even figure out TurboTax, that\u2019s our Treasury secretary Tim Geithner, the tax cheat. And that little twerp, I mean there\u2019s another one, he\u2019s in charge of dealing with Republicans and Democrats on the Bush tax cut extension controversy. Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. I told you about this. After the meeting with Obama in Washington, congressional Republican leaders spoke about the meeting. Here\u2019s Eric Cantor.<\/p>\n<p>CANTOR: I was pleased on a number of accounts, first that the president did recognize that the election meant that the people want to see results out of Washington. And I think you have heard now a process being put into place that hopefully we can begin producing those results; first and foremost, take away the uncertainty around the tax hikes or rates that exist right now. Secondly, I was encouraged by the president\u2019s remarks regarding his perhaps not having reached out enough to us in the last session. And that this meeting was the beginning of a series in which he hoped that we could work together in a different fashion for the benefit of the American people given the problems that we face.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m gonna zip my cynicism. I\u2019m gonna zip it. I\u2019m just gonna wait. I\u2019m just gonna wait for what I know is coming to come. You don\u2019t need me to analyze this. So Obama told the Republicans, yeah, I realize you guys won and, yeah, we\u2019re gonna have to work together now, and I\u2019m looking forward to that, and so this is the beginning of a series in which the president hoped that we could work together in a different fashion now, we can compromise. Okay, here\u2019s John Boehner, and the tone here, you\u2019d have to say is conciliatory, and Boehner continued it, I think. Let\u2019s listen together.<\/p>\n<p>BOEHNER: I agree that the president did make an important point that Eric mentioned that he hadn\u2019t spent as much time with us reaching out and talking to us &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, God.<\/p>\n<p>BOEHNER: &#8212; and committed to do so. And, as I told the president, I think that spending more time will help us find some common ground. There\u2019s a reason why we have Democrats and Republicans. We believe in different things about the appropriate role of federal government. But having said that, the more time that we do spend together we can find a common ground because the American people expect us to come here and work on their behalf.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m just trying to remember what the Tea Party people thought they were getting with this win and what they said prior to it that they wanted. And I just don\u2019t remember this. Now, I coulda been playing golf that day. I don\u2019t remember the Tea Party saying, &#8216;Damn it, you guys compromise and work together. We want to see you all get along, for us.\u2019 I\u2019ve apparently been laboring here on a total misunderstanding. I thought that the Tea Party wanted Obama stopped. Here\u2019s Obama after the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: I appointed my Treasury secretary, Tim Geithner, and my budget director, Jack Lew, to work with representatives of both parties to break through this logjam. I\u2019ve asked the leaders to appoint members to help in this negotiation process. They agreed to do that. That process is beginning right away and we expect to get some answers back over the next couple of days about how we can accomplish our key goal, which is to make sure the economy continues to grow and we\u2019re putting people back to work, and we also want to make sure we\u2019re giving people in the middle class the peace of mind that their taxes will not be raised come January 1st.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/\/home\/daily\/site_113010\/content\/01125106.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"135\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/a>RUSH: Yeah, boy, I love all the compromise I\u2019m hearing in there. Let\u2019s just have another committee. If you want something to die, appoint a committee. If you want to bring something to a screeching halt, appoint a committee and then start talking about negotiations. He never abandons his talking points. He has to get it in there there aren\u2019t gonna be anything other than continued tax cuts for the middle class. Stays on point with his talking points. Here\u2019s more of Obama.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: There are real philosophical differences, and although the atmosphere in today\u2019s meeting was extremely civil, there\u2019s no doubt that those differences are gonna remain no matter how many meetings we have. And the truth is there\u2019s always gonna be a political incentive against working together, particularly in the current hyperpartisan climate. There are always those who argue that the best strategy is simply to try to defeat your opposition instead of working with them. And, frankly, even the notion of bipartisanship itself has gotten caught up in this mentality. But I think there was recognition today that that\u2019s a game that we can\u2019t afford.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I am literally gonna get sick here. Ha-ha. Literally gonna puke. Who is the author of all of this lack of bipartisanship? Whose mentality is it to defeat your opponents? That\u2019s mine! That\u2019s what I have been suggesting. I\u2019m the hyperpartisan here, I guess. My strategery has been, wipe \u2019em out! And that\u2019s what the election meant, wipe \u2019em out. They were wiped out. I didn\u2019t see civility on the ballot. Awe, jeez. Okay. That\u2019s it. Look, see where this is headed? (interruption) Well, no, I\u2019ll hold out hope this is just a bunch of BS Republican assumption that the real stuff\u2019s gonna go on. We gotta deal with what is. What does my gut say? Well, my gut could only react to what I heard here and words are just words. What part of &#8216;hell, no\u2019 did the Republicans not understand? It\u2019s just two words, h-e-l-l, space, n-o. What is hard to understand about that? <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go to this last bite. I know you can\u2019t listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done around here, that\u2019s right. &#8216;There are always those who argue that the best strategy is simply to try to defeat your opposition instead of working with them.\u2019 That\u2019s me. &#8216;And, frankly, even the notion of bipartisanship itself has gotten caught up in this mentality.\u2019 Me. &#8216;But I think there was recognition today that that\u2019s a game that we can\u2019t afford.\u2019 I guess Obama thinks that the only thing of significance that happened here is that I got thrown under the bus in the meeting. Not by name, but nevertheless I got thrown because everybody\u2019s talking about how civil it was and political incentive, Obama reached out to us, he heard us, really wants to spend more time helping us find common ground. He acknowledged he hasn\u2019t spent as much time with us reaching out and talking to us. If I didn\u2019t know better I would say that we had somehow tuned into the Oprah show, but I know that\u2019s not what happened. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, to the phones we go. To Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Aaron. Nice to have you on the phone with us today, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush. I was just driving down the road here listening to those comments from Eric Cantor and John Boehner, and I just wanted to pull off the road and kick the proverbial tire here. I can\u2019t even believe they had a meeting with this guy. He\u2019s&#8230; You know, Obama is clearly way off in left field, and I don\u2019t know why our illustrious leaders in the Republican Party feel that it\u2019s necessary even sit down at the table with this guy. You know, we\u2019re not gonna be getting anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, the reason&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, no, no, no, no, no. Wait a minute, now. The reason is that they\u2019re still the big minority. This is a lame duck. The Democrats still run the show.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And so they may have to sit down with him, but the whole &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I &#8212; I &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What I heard here was, &#8216;You know what? He really likes us! He really likes us, and he said he\u2019ll see us again! He really likes us!\u2019 I thought, &#8216;Is this the &#8216;Epidemic\u2019 Awards, Sally Field somehow come back to be a Republican?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely, Rush. I sit there and I\u2019m thinking, &#8216;You know, I think it would be a much more telling story if our Republican leaders and those we elected &#8212; you know, those of us Tea Party members &#8212; just put our foot down and said, &#8216;You know, we\u2019re not gonna even come to the table with these guys because they are completely off their rockers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, again, they want to get this done. They\u2019ve gotta get this done before they expire. The tax cuts expire December 31st. It\u2019s not something they can put off until January.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, this is true.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So, you know, they\u2019ve gotta get Obama to go along with this, and they\u2019ve obviously concluded the best way to do it is with honey. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckles)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And what you want is for them, if they have a meeting, to remind him, &#8216;Look, pal, &#8216;we won.\u2019 Remember, that\u2019s what you told us two years ago? We won and it\u2019s looking even worse for you in 2012. The American people want these tax rates extended.\u2019 Now, we don\u2019t know that that didn\u2019t happen in the meeting. All we know is the way it\u2019s being characterized by these guys afterwards. So we\u2019ve gotta wait. We don\u2019t really know what happened in there. We only know what they\u2019re saying now, and they\u2019re saying what they\u2019re saying \u2019cause they want the media to love \u2019em. They want obviously there to be no appearance of conflict or partisanship or any of that. That\u2019s their strategy here. But they can\u2019t say, &#8216;Screw you! We\u2019re not meeting with you. Either do it or not,\u2019 \u2019cause Obama will say, &#8216;Okay, fine. You don\u2019t want to meet? Well, then these things expire and I\u2019m gonna get the higher taxes I want on everybody.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019d love to see those tax cuts extended, absolutely. I\u2019d love to see more tax cuts. Excuse me, we shouldn\u2019t be talking &#8216;tax cuts.\u2019 We should just be saying &#8216;the current rates extended,\u2019 but I\u2019d love to see those extended and cut even further. You know, I live in Michigan here, and we\u2019re struggling to say the least. I got out there and voted, and I want to get rid of these Democratic (garbled).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.57631.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Believe me, believe me, I know. I know. If it were me I\u2019d go in the meeting and say, &#8216;Mr. President, two years ago I said &#8216;I hope you fail.\u2019 The purpose here is to see to it that you do. Your policies have destroyed the nation\u2019s economy,\u2019 but that\u2019s just me. See, I don\u2019t have to get votes, and I don\u2019t care whether the media likes me &#8212; and that\u2019s the difference. But, again, that\u2019s just me, and I\u2019m serious when I tell you getting votes is a whole different matter than getting listeners, and politics is what it is. You know, people ask, &#8216;Why don\u2019t you run for office?\u2019 Because of this kind of stuff. I couldn\u2019t do it. I\u2019m not a diplomat. I don\u2019t want to be a diplomat. If somebody has holes in their head I\u2019m not gonna tell \u2019em instead that they have an open mind. You know, I live in Literalville. Anyway, I understand what you\u2019re talking about, Aaron. I know a lot of people agree with you. Eugene in Odessa, Texas. Hello, sir, and welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey there, Rush. Just to kind of take you back on with what this guy, the previous caller, was saying: It depresses me to the extent that I let it how much of this country has become an Oprah audience. And when I say &#8216;Oprah audience,\u2019 I mean have you seen her shows where she gives things away? I mean, these sissies show up, and they sit there and wait in orgasmic anticipation to see what crumbs dribble off her multiple chins so they can grab \u2019em. And they go nuts! A big part of my country feels that way, and it just kills me. I mean, to the point that I let it. I gotta go on, I understand, but you get what I\u2019m saying? <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. I hear what you\u2019re saying. Everybody\u2019s waiting around for their benefits.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (long sigh) Man, you ain\u2019t kidding. You know, listening to Cantor and these guys &#8212; I know I had the one little point but &#8212; why do they keep saying &#8216;the Bush tax cuts\u2019? I mean, I\u2019m just a little guy running a little business off my kitchen table literally here in Odessa, Texas, west Texas, and I know that it\u2019s the Obama tax increases, and these guys can\u2019t even say that! They\u2019re sissies. I said it. Cantor is a sissy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I know. Look, I don\u2019t know what to tell you. You\u2019re exactly right. We\u2019re not talking about any &#8216;tax cuts.\u2019 We\u2019re talking about tax increases, for crying out loud. (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughs)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And why that can\u2019t be said, I don\u2019t know! That\u2019s the question: Are we going to maintain current tax rates or are we gonna have a tax increase?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I get it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I know you got it. That\u2019s why you went out and voted the way that you did. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Tom in West Virginia, welcome to the program. I have about a minute and a half, sir, but I wanted to get to you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.89495.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: Thank you and dittos. My point is that &#8216;compromise\u2019 and &#8216;common ground\u2019 are opposite. People are using them as if they\u2019re the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s a great point.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8216;Compromise\u2019 means, &#8216;I\u2019m gonna vote for your crummy idea if you\u2019ll vote for my crummy idea. You get four or five hundred crummy ideas, you put \u2019em in a 2500 page bill, and we get it to pass,\u2019 but it\u2019s all crummy ideas.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right!<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8216;Common ground\u2019 is when you have a good idea and I\u2019m gonna vote for it with no quid pro quo. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Whether you\u2019re a Democrat or a Republican, you come up with a good idea and I\u2019m gonna vote for it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, but wait a minute. The point is that common ground is elusive. Right now, under what should be normal circumstances, there isn\u2019t any common ground between Obama and the Republicans. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There\u2019s none to be found!<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You\u2019re absolutely right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: One guy wants to destroy the country as it\u2019s founded; the other guys want to preserve it. Now, where\u2019s the common ground there?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: There isn\u2019t anyway.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You can\u2019t make common ground with compromise.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I know. That\u2019s exactly right. But they think it sounds wonderful. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yup.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They think it\u2019s what people want: &#8216;Get along. Compromise, get along.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: The Republicans even have it wrong with this idea on earmarks, that they\u2019re gonna turn everything over to the president. That isn\u2019t what we asked for. We asked them to stop combining the Joint Strike Fighters and welfare and financial reforms all in the same bill. Put a single topic in a bill and if the Congress wants to spend money in a given way, I\u2019m okay with that, but single-topic bills.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Not everybody\u2019s private pet project in there and come up with 700 bad ideas &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I hear you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; that costs us a bunch of money.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s great.
