RUSH: To the audio sound bites. Anderson Cooper\u2019s turn. Last week it was Nic Robertson, a couple of weeks ago, whatever it was, that poor old Nic was in Egypt in the belly of the beast attempting to drum up support for President Obama. Well, it\u2019s Anderson Cooper\u2019s turn. Last night on CNN, Anderson Cooper 19 spoke with an unidentified Libyan woman about anti-government violence in Libya. Government violence against protesters. She said, ‘Why do you continue to report?\u2019<\/p>\n

WOMAN: I will tell you something. The Libyan public are angry from the statement was given by President Obama today. Everybody was disappointed.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, no! CNN goes over hoping to find a lot of love for Obama in the Arab world, and they didn\u2019t find any. ‘The Libyan public are angry from the statement given by Obama today. Everybody was disappointed.\u2019 Cooper says, ‘What? You think he didn\u2019t go far enough?\u2019<\/p>\n

WOMAN: No. I was expecting him commenting about the black people and the European — Eastern European people — recruited to contribute in this massacre. It\u2019s nonsense. I thought that he gonna give even threats or warning for this to stop. I expected more, to be honest. I expected to read between the lines from his speech. I did not see that. I was very disappointed. Everybody was disappointed. I want Americans to support us!<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what I just told the guy from Dexter, Missouri<\/a>, what\u2019s going on over there? Well, they\u2019re looking for our support and they\u2019re not finding it. He didn\u2019t even mention Khadafy\u2019s name. The people protesting in Libya are hoping the United States stands with them, and even reading ‘between the lines,\u2019 they don\u2019t. I mean, they\u2019re even admitting they might have to ‘read between the lines\u2019 to hear that support from President Obama but they didn\u2019t even get it there. <\/p>\n

We hearken back to the story from last April, Khadafy in a speech in London (impression) ‘Obama is my friend! Barack-ay Obama\u2019s policies good for the world! He is my friend.\u2019 Hell, folks, even Khadafy has got a birth certificate. Let\u2019s go back: Nic Robertson. Let\u2019s relive this. This is too good. This is CNN. I mean they are on a roll. They\u2019re all over the Middle East. Egypt, Libya — bordering nations, if you will; border states — desperate to find support for President Obama in the midst of people protesting against their own governments for whatever reason. So it\u2019s February 11th. Nearly two weeks ago, live in Cairo. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has stepped down from power. Senior International Correspondent Nic Robertson and a man identified as Achmed have this exchange about the Egyptian anti-government protests and President Obama.<\/p>\n

ROBERTSON: Achmed, you\u2019ve been here, down here on the Square for many days. The United States and the international community. You\u2019ve just listened to President Obama saying that America will support Egypt if it wants help and assistance, and hopes that there will be a good transition for jobs for the young people. What would be your message for President Obama?<\/line> <\/line>ACHMED: We don\u2019t know, actually, who he supports. He serves for his own purposes, and the Egyptian people serve for our freedom and democracy. Any democratic country should see for the people, not for its own purposes.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, Achmed? When you say that you ‘don\u2019t know actually who he supports,\u2019 he supports himself! He looks at erring through that prism. So okay, there\u2019s our old buddy, Nic Robertson. ‘What would be your message for President Obama?\u2019 ‘(Raspberry!) That\u2019s our message.\u2019 So next Nic Robertson goes out and finds Mustapha and repeats the process.<\/p>\n

ROBERTSON: Mustapha is joining me now. We just heard President Obama say that he wants to extend, eh, support and assistance to Egypt and Egyptians if they want any, and he hopes that there are more jobs for the young people in the future. What\u2019s your message for President Obama?<\/line> <\/line>MUSTAPHA: Well, my message to President Obama is just, ‘We started this revolution without any outside help, and we are going to finish it also without any outside help.\u2019<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Nic Robertson, 0-for-2. ‘What is your message for President Obama?\u2019 These people are fighting for their freedom or what have you. They\u2019re not even thinking about Obama! CNN wants to know, ‘What is your message for President Obama?\u2019 (Raspberry) 0-for-2. But Nic Robertson not giving up here. Sticking with old Mustapha one more time.<\/p>\n

ROBERTSON: Are you pleased that President Obama has come out, however, now and said he supports this change and supports the people and supports the young people and — and what they\u2019ve done?<\/line> <\/line>MUSTAPHA: Well, actually President Obama\u2019s views were kind of conflicting during the last week, but now he\u2019s saying that he\u2019s supporting the change.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: I love this, folks. I\u2019m sorry I could listen to this all day (laughing) and play this all day because it is so informative and instructive. Okay so here\u2019s Nic Robertson, he\u2019s 0-for-2. From Ahmed and Mustapha: (Raspberry!) (Raspberry!) So he tries again for Mustapha, but, ‘Look, Mustapha, can\u2019t you at least say that you\u2019re at least pleased with Obama? He\u2019s now come out for jobs. (Raspberry!) 0-for-3. So you\u2019ve heard it now, Nic Robertson is 0-for-3 getting people to say any supportive of President Obama. Here is now Nic Robertson wrapped it up with Mustapha.<\/p>\n

ROBERTSON: The view from here is one of very happy to now hear that President Obama has swung behind the people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I did not hear that. I didn\u2019t hear any of them ‘swing behind Obama.\u2019 (laughing) I didn\u2019t hear any of them happy to hear that Obama swung behind them. It didn\u2019t happen, and then you\u2019ve got poor old Anderson Cooper 19 trying with a woman who says, ‘Well, no, we didn\u2019t hear anything.\u2019 CNN\u2019s doing everything they can here. I mean, they\u2019re giving it the old college try. It\u2019s just not working out. Last night on CNN\u2019s Piers Morgan Tonight (this is the guy that took over for Larry King) he interviewed Larry King. Piers Morgan, ratings plummeting, went for broke last night: Well, let\u2019s bring the old guy back and put him in the guest chair. They had this discussion. Quite interesting. Listen to this.<\/p>\n

MORGAN: On the scale of all the dictators you\u2019ve interviewed, where does he rank, do you think, Khadafi? Because he has a certain notoriety in America for obvious reasons: Lockerbie and other things.<\/p>\n

KING: Well, as a dictator he\u2019s among the worst. As an interview, he is the worst. He\u2019s not an easy person to talk to, as opposed to, say, Chavez, who is terrific to talk to. <\/p>\n

MORGAN: (grunt)<\/p>\n

KING: Some people are, like, American. Chavez would be a successful in my opinion American politician. <\/p>\n

MORGAN: (grunt)<\/p>\n

KING: He has flair, dynamism. He has exuberance. He comes into the room; he changes the room.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it. That\u2019s what you need to be a good American for Larry King — dynamism, come in the room and change the room — to be a successful American politician. Larry, you left something out. Successful American Democrat politician, successful American liberal politician. But it\u2019s screw Khadafy. Hell, Khadafy, the dictator, he\u2019s among the worst. Now, Chavez, there\u2019s a great dictator! Now, there\u2019s a dictator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
