\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This is fascinating to me. This is Maria Bartiromo. She just moved from CNBC over to Fox Business Channel, and she, too, is perplexed by Obama\u2019s seeming ignorance about economics. This is a woman who ought not be confused at all. She is the primo financial journalist in America, correct? (interruption) <\/p>\n

I mean, by many popular characterizations. (interruption) Oh, you\u2019re laughing that there\u2019s Don Lemon<\/a>? I know, I saw it, and I\u2019m tempted. I\u2019m tempted to give parents like a 10-minute heads-up here. (interruption) Oh, is that what he\u2019s doing? He\u2019s explaining it away? He\u2019s trying to justify and apologize and…? (interruption) I\u2019m almost obligated to do it now because here I\u2019m talking about it; it\u2019s an unfair tease. So I\u2019ll think about it. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, back to Maria Bartiromo. She is, many people would say, the primo economics reporter, anchor, in America. Some night say Lou Dobbs. Some might say Stuart Varney, but she\u2019s “the Money Honey.” So you would think that she would have no questions, but she\u2019s perplexed. We have a couple of audio sound bites. This morning on Fox & Friends, they were talking about the defeat of the Keystone pipeline in the Senate.<\/p>\n

Elisabeth Hasselbeck said, “The key question, Maria Bartiromo, is in fact if it will effect gasoline prices.”<\/line><\/p>\n

BARTIROMO: The good news here is that this takes the president out of the awkward position of vetoing this, okay, so that\u2019s the good news. The other day when the president spoke about this he missed the fact that this is a global market. He said it\u2019s Canadian oil coming into our lands, being exported to other countries, and he said it would not impact gasoline prices. I think that\u2019s really misleading. I do believe that if this passes, it will move gas prices lower.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No kidding. But did you notice the first comment she made here? “Well, the good news here is that it takes the president out of the awkward position of vetoing it. That\u2019s the good news.” And he would have. He would have vetoed. But to her that\u2019s embarrassing that the president would have to veto. Why is it embarrassing? You know exactly why he would veto it. <\/p>\n

So she\u2019s (imitating Bartiromo), “You know, he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about. He missed the fact that this is a global market. He said it\u2019s Canadian oil, it wouldn\u2019t lower gas –” Maria, these are the same people who said, in response to a policy of “drill, baby, drill,” that that wouldn\u2019t create more oil. Remember, Maria, how they made fun of — and you may have been one of them, I don\u2019t know. But when a lot of people, me included, were running around saying the way out of our energy jam, “drill, baby, drill,” made fun of, mocked. <\/p>\n

Well, now we got fracking, and now we have shale oil and shale gas. We got more reserves than Saudi Arabia, so much so that the Saudis had to lower the price of oil to $75 a barrel. The Saudis are lowering the price on their own to damage their competitors. “Drill, baby, drill” has created more oil. It\u2019s lowered the price. We were all made fun of for that. Even though it\u2019s as axiomatic as saying bringing more Keystone oil through the pipeline to America would lower gas prices. Yes, it would. It\u2019s supply and demand. <\/p>\n

But she\u2019s not sure Obama understands that. But there\u2019s one more sound bite here. It kind of gets to the nub of it. Steve Doocy said, “I think it\u2019s curious that you think the president of the United States doesn\u2019t understand the simple economic policy of how the world spot market works with oil.”<\/p>\n

BARTIROMO: I was very surprised at those comments because it either indicates he doesn\u2019t understand the global market or that he\u2019s just against it.<\/p>\n

DOOCY: He\u2019s being political.<\/p>\n

BARTIROMO: One is more scary than the other.<\/p>\n

RUSH: She is genuinely concerned that Obama doesn\u2019t understand economics. To her that\u2019s a legitimate possibility, that he doesn\u2019t understand economics. Has she watched this guy for six years? He understands economics. He knows exactly what he\u2019s doing with his economic policy. This is the problem here. You have people in positions of power and authority inside the Beltway and the media, and they just assume that everybody like them is just as smart as they are and just as oriented the same way they are. It\u2019s how a Mitch McConnell will express shock that Obama is not moving to the center after this election defeat. <\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same as Maria Bartiromo here expressing shock that Obama doesn\u2019t understand, or a journalist expressing shock that Obama is not doing more to reduce the debt. It\u2019s right in front of your face that he\u2019s trying to increase the debt. It\u2019s right in front of your face that he\u2019s trying to raise the price of energy. It\u2019s right in front of your face that he doesn\u2019t like oil. It\u2019s right in front of your face, I mean, everybody, it\u2019s right in front of all of our faces that Obama believes in this stupid, idiotic green energy newfangled stuff, and he believes that oil is a poison. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s right there in front of your face, and yet people simply somehow can\u2019t accept it and believe it. And that\u2019s how people like Obama get away with it. They\u2019re assumed to be so smart, maybe they know more than we do, when in fact if you don\u2019t understand Obama\u2019s ideology, and if you don\u2019t apply his radical leftist ideology to everything he does or says, then you are going to forever be confused about what he\u2019s doing. <\/p>\n

The answer to Obama is learning and understanding liberalism and progressivism, and once you have that, then Obama is no longer a mystery, and you can see him as the threat he really is to free markets, to the founding of the country. That\u2019s what he\u2019s opposed to. And he\u2019s making it abundantly clear. <\/p>\n

But the fact that some people want to continue to not see it or not admit it is, as I say, quite telling. Because admitting it or seeing it, man, that\u2019s serious stuff. That\u2019s a call to action of a different kind. That requires more than just journalism and commentary, see, and a lot of people don\u2019t want to go beyond journalism and commentary. “Take action because of this? Hell, no. What are you talking about? No, this is just an intellectual exercise for us, Mr. Limbaugh. We\u2019ll call it the way it is, but when it comes to shaping and bending outcomes, no, that\u2019s not for us.” <\/p>\n

Everybody\u2019s that way, and so Obama\u2019s got a free road. He is single-handedly in charge of the outcome, \u2019cause nobody else wants to get their hands dirty in fighting it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
