RUSH: The media is still wringing its hands: ‘What\u2019s Obama gonna do about Libya?\u2019 He\u2019s gotta do something. He\u2019s gotta say something. He can\u2019t. The Wall Street Journal had it right. Obama came to power ripping the whole notion of the United States getting involved in the Middle East. Now everybody\u2019s clamoring for him to do something. Last night CNN\u2019s In the Arena, they spoke to David ‘Rodham\u2019 Gergen. The question, ‘Is there a coherent foreign policy message coming out of this regime?\u2019<\/p>\n

GERGEN: It\u2019s not as clear to me what the strategy is. What\u2019s the vision for where we want this all to go? What kind of Middle do we want to see? I thought we were gonna get a speech on Libya the other day. I do think he needs to enunciate a general strategy for where he\u2019s trying to go, where the west is trying to go in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you think he even cares? Does he really care? He\u2019s got another party tonight. He\u2019s throwing another viewing party for a basketball game, college basketball, he\u2019s bringing some people up. You know, let Bush try this. In the midst of all this stuff going on have Bush throw a party on Wednesday night, Charlie Daniels and the boys come in, they\u2019d get mad at that, maybe a little Ted Nugent. They wouldn\u2019t like that. But here come these guys watching a basketball game with the Motown guys. Does he really even care? Having the place on fire over there, unrest and chaos. Does he even care? Let me ask an even better question, honest to God here, folks. We make so many assumptions about the president and the presidency and the people who run for that office. Would somebody explain to me where in the past and the history of Barack Obama is there any evidence that he has the slightest understanding or idea what\u2019s happening there or why or does he even care? Where is the track record? Hell\u2019s bells, we can\u2019t even get his law review records or his grade transcripts at Harvard, for crying out loud, how do we know? <\/p>\n

We make all these wild assumptions, ‘Well, Rush, even if he doesn\u2019t know, he\u2019s got some advisors.\u2019 That\u2019s even scarier. You mean like that Clapper guy who said, ‘Muslim Brotherhood? Harmless. Not even ideologues.\u2019 Where is it written that he even has the slightest clue? Obviously David ‘Rodham\u2019 Gergen thinks, well, he\u2019s president, he\u2019s gotta have a philosophy. He\u2019s gotta have a vision for the Middle East, what do we want the Middle East to be? The last president that we had that articulated such a vision was George W. Bush, and look what they did to him for it. What\u2019s Obama\u2019s vision for the Middle East? The Cairo speech? What is it? Do we have to ask Reverend Wright? I mean who in the world do we know that\u2019s had any influence on Obama where this stuff happens? I\u2019m not being casual here or throwing it off. Obama\u2019s very tied up with the Clintons these days. He\u2019s basically got a lot of Clinton staffers and we still don\u2019t know who has given money to the Clintons for their library and their foundation and massage parlor. <\/p>\n

Okay, so Obama says he took a course in international relations, was undergrad. Fine. Okay. My mom made me take out the trash, so I know about waste removal. Wolf Blitzer, The Situation Room, CNN, we have a montage of Wolf Blitzer talking about an upcoming press conference held by Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy. They\u2019re just so excited. Khadafy\u2019s gonna speak. Yeah, man. Khadafy\u2019s gonna speak, instant ratings for CNN. It\u2019s beyond me what excites these people, but Wolf could barely keep his pants up. Here\u2019s the montage.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: Breaking news we\u2019re following right now. Moammar Khadafy may speak to reporters any minute. They rolled out the red carpet for Moammar Khadafy. He shows up, we expect him to start speaking to reporters literally any minute now. It\u2019s getting closer and closer to midnight. He could be speaking at 11, at midnight, at 1 a.m., we have no clue. We\u2019re all waiting, we\u2019re watching for Moammar Khadafy to speak. We expect that soon. Breaking news out of Tripoli, Libya, awaiting Moammar Khadafy. Stand by for that. Moammar Khadafy behind that curtain over there. We don\u2019t know when he\u2019s gonna speak. We anticipate that will be soon. We\u2019re standing by. We\u2019re awaiting Moammar Khadafy. He\u2019s getting ready, we\u2019re told, to speak to journalists. It\u2019s a dramatic scene. Awaiting Khadafy is no simple matter.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Waiting and waiting and waiting. This reminds me of Wolf with breaking news on Bush\u2019s approval numbers going below 40. Remember that sound bite? Could do a movie, Driving Ms. Nancy while waiting for Khadafy. Waiting and waiting, breaking news, this dramatic scene, awaiting Khadafy is no simple matter. Well, the erstwhile Nic Robertson is on the case, folks, over there. He\u2019s one of 100 reporters invited by Khadafy to answer questions. He reports they\u2019ve been stood up. Khadafy snuck out the back door in a white Beamer.<\/p>\n

ROBERTSON: Moammar Khadafy it appears was whisked out of a side door into a waiting BMW, a white BMW 7 Series, snuck out of a side door, snuck out of a side door and avoided all the questions of all these more than a hundred reporters here, people he has invited to this country to answer their questions.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The audacity, how dare he! This is why he\u2019s still a colonel and not a general. He\u2019s invited a hundred reporters to ask questions, and he was gonna answer them, but he sneaks out the side door in a white Beamer 7 Series no less. Not a 5, not a 6, the big daddy, the Series 7 Beamer. What\u2019s important about that? Why do they have to stipulate what kinda Beamer it is? So we know how much it costs, exactly right. So Wolf Blitzer, having now presided over an hour of programming down the drain clings to hope that Khadafy might return. Nic Robertson has to give him the bad news.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: Is it your sense that he\u2019s gone for the night? It\u2019s now past midnight. It\u2019s past 12:30 a.m. where you are. Or is it still possible, based on what you\u2019re hearing from other Libyan officials, that he might come back tonight?<\/p>\n

ROBERTSON: Wolf, I think that\u2019s it. He\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, I can\u2019t keep a straight face. These guys, can you imagine getting that excited over Khadafy? So what if he shows up? He\u2019s a lunatic. He\u2019s an insane asylum with a mouth. And Wolf is genuinely disappointed. (imitating Wolf) ‘Is it still possible? Based on what you\u2019re hearing, Nic, from Libyan officials, is it possible he could show up? Is it possible?\u2019 ‘Sorry, Wolf, I think that\u2019s it. He\u2019s gone.\u2019 (imitating Robertson) ‘But, hey,\u2019 Nic offered, ‘I still got Mustapha here from Cairo. We can still ask him about Obama. Or I could go talk to Ahmed.\u2019 But Wolf said, nah, never mind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
