What Rush Said - March 16, 2011 - Hillary wants out!

Rush ending the show with transcript excerpt of Wolf Blitzer interview with Hillary Clinton. Blitzer asked Mrs. Clinton a variety of questions -- if Obama has a 2nd term would she want to be Secretary of State? Secretary of Defense? Vice President? President? Answers: No, No, No, and No!

Paraphrasing - the gist, just heard it but, as I was not transcribing the precise words have evaporated in the ether: In a unambiguous swipe at the Obama and his administration - Clinton added that democrat ideals run the risk of loosing when an autocrat is running amuck ramming policies through.

Earlier in the show Rush compared the media's fear mongering about the nuclear situation in Japan to the media's panic mongering with the BP Oil Spill. Rush reminded viewers that his assessment of the ocean handling the oil through the natural process of the ocean was exactly what happened. RUSH cautions that he does not see a reason for panic in the US and that it no radioactive cloud is going to travel from Japan to our West Coast. He sites the distance and dissipation that would occur.

Rush played a clip that interspersed breathless 'sky is falling' reporters reading various serious headlines with Obama's basketball picks. [These are facsimalies of the clips.]

Reporter: "Reports are that a fire has broken out at another reactor [in Japan."

Obama: "Ahhhh, I like Carolina."

Reporter: "The housing market numbers are down significantly."

Obama: "Ahhh, I'm going with Syracuse."

While this was clever audio editing and a funny audio bit, the reality of it is very disturbing.

Rush touched on the media now starting to inquire about where's Obama. Rush played clips of a press conference where Obama was questioned repeatedly about his leadership, or rather lack thereof, in making a decision about Libya.

Toward the end of the show Rush played a clip of a White House press spokesman [missed the name] who was asked about whether Obama was still planning a trip to the, I believe, Bahamas in wake of events going on in Japan. The answer, again paraphrased, "That is a crisis for Japan, it's not a crisis for America."

[Commentary outside of the Rush's comments - I saw a tweet about this and wonder the same in context of combining the questions about Obama's leadership and Hillary's interview. Maybe those trying to predict the Republican Presidential candidates should wonder who the Democrat challengers to Obama will be.
