What Rush Said - May 2, 2011 -- Obama deserves congratulations for maintaining Bush policies

Rush sincere congratulated President Obama regarding the capture and kill of Osama Bin Laden. Rush congratulated Obama for continuing the policies that the Bush Cheney administration put in place. Rush congratulated Obama for not shutting down Gitmo, even though Obama has signed an executive order to do so and campaigned on that. Rush congratulated Obama for not dismantling the teams that have been in place for ten years.

Rush comments that if Obama was a shoe in for 2012 - Osama Bin Laden would still be alive.

Rush played a number of clips of liberal bias media pundits talking about how the death of Osama Bin Laden affects Obama's presidential bid. Rush reminds about how the liberal media criticized Bush. He wondered what sort of questions would be swirling around Bush if this military event occurred while Bush was president: where's the proof, where's the pictures, what took so long, etc. etc.

Rush said that now Obama does not have to worry about Bin Laden endorsing him for president as Bin Laden endorsed John Kerry.

Rush is tremendously proud of the American military for their work.

Rush said liberal media pundits suggesting that getting Bin Laden seals the deal for Obama to win in 2012 is over blown. Rush clearly states: This is not a campaign issue. Remember Clinton's campaign mantra of, "It's the economy stupid."

Rush also talked about how the breaking news reports about a BIG story pre-empted Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice and that Obama didn't speak for over an hour. Most people didn't see what happened on Celebrity Apprentice. Factor in Obama targeting Trump at the press club dinner shows just how [paraphrasing] bothered/threatened by Trump Obama is.

Oh yes, Rush mentioned hearing about the flood of questions about Osama's death and an email circulating asking to see the "Long Form Death Certificate." Rush remarks there's what is being referred to as, "Deathers."

Caller asked Rush about the burial at sea, saying that made no sense. Rush had a clever observation - the same people who didn't want a shrine pilgrims might come to visit Osama Bin Laden's earth bound grave, are the same people who support/want a mosque built at ground zero and is that not indeed a shrine.

What Rush Said - September 29, 2009

This posting will be done as if telling someone what Rush said:

So Rush starts with a bunch of show titles where they're saying to the President to get off of the TV.  Rush said that that more Obama is on the the more people see who he is.  That's not good, for the libs, according to Rush.  The liberal media will be happy to carry the water for Obama.  Rush mentioned an article by Howard Fineman of Newsweek, Enough TV, Mr. President. How About Governing?  Rush summarized that too many people wonder does he [Obama] work?  Does he have a job.  Rush mentioned an article by Richard Cohen's in the Washington Post on a similar theme titles, Time for Obama to Act Like A President. Rush also mentioned the issue of Obama going to Copenhagen; an article in Politico addresses Obama going to Copenhagen to lobby for Chicago to host  the Olympics. Rush added that healthcare can wait, the Olympics needs Obama's attention.  

There's also an article on Politico a piece on General McChyrstal. Rush then addresses the issue of Afghanistan.  He was rather impassioned describing how Rush's audience serves in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that Rush's audience are the family members of service-members.  The issue of Afghanistan, Rush says, is not political.  

Rush pointed out Ceci Connolly had a piece in the Washington Post, In Rationing Health Care, More Not Always Better, Experts Say.   According to Rush, Connolly suggests that so how less care will mean more care.  He made mention that it was like Karl Marx in reverse, "each according to their ability, each according to their need."  Though if the healthcare comment was, "too much for some, not enough for others,"  the Marx comment fits sort of but not then also healthcare reform criticism.  Anyway.

Oh then he mentioned an article that was mentioned yesterday in the Canadian Post.  The article referred to how Sarkozy doesn't like Obama.  There's not link here because their Web Site crashed different browsers... buggy.  

A French paper (LeMonde) op-ed referenced in a Wall Street Journal article said that the French and British wanted to confront Iran at the UN.  However White House handlers did not want to, "spoil the image of [Obama's] success."  Rush said when the French have bigger gonads than America that's sad but funny.  The Wall Street Journal article piece on this is, Sarkozy Presses for Tougher Actions Against Iran.  After all Rush points out, that the European countries can do their thing and the US will step in when needed, but if the US isn't - that's an issue for them.  I'm foregoing the LeMonde article link to this piece mainly because it's in French.

Rush got a bulletin that Sarah Palin's book will be out soon.  He talked about how, "The media will tell us who they are most afraid of."  He said that he hopes she sells 5 million copies, which will sent the left into a, "greater tizzy."  The book is due out November 17 order from Amazon now. [Note that if you purchase this book from Amazon by clicking on the link below a commission will be earned by this Site as a result.] 

Rush started talking calls.  A fellow called in with the bombardier saying that you know when you're over the target when you're getting flack.  Then Rush went on about John Kerry wanting to change the name of the Cap N' Trade bill to something like Pollution Reduction something.  Rush complained about accepting their [liberal, left, Democrat, state-controlled media] premise of the Democrats setting the agenda.  Rush says he doesn't accept it and asks why let them set the agenda?  It puts us [conservatives] on defense.  Rush said Offense Offense Offense.    Then he talked more about Sarah Palin and how she was the only one who excited anyone [in the Republican party].  He talked about how some would rather have old-guard old-school reach across the aisle McCain.  Rush cited a Rasmussen poll of Arizona constituents.  61% said McCain is out of touch with those in his party. 

Rush talked a bit more about Sarah Palin noting that Tina Fey's spot on Barbara Walters' most interesting people is because of her impression of Sarah Palin.  He continued how the press is scared to death of Palin, going after her kids and he says, "they [left, liberal, Democrats] want to talk to us about being civilized."  He repeated that they [Democrats, media, liberals] will tell us who they fear.

Back to the Kerry thing and Kerry changing the name of Cap N Trade - at a time when the NE is having one of the coldest winters on record.  Rush also noted how there's not much going on hurricane-wise.  He talked about how eager the media is to see a cluster of thunderstorms.  Much telling is futures traders are banking on heating oil prices going up, which suggests the traders expect temperatures to stay cold.  Again, Rush points out his question, "Why accept their premise?"  In this case regarding climate.  

Rush mentioned a New York Times article about how Socialism is suffering even during difficult time for Capitalists, Even in Capitalists' Bad Times, Europe's Socialists Suffer.

I came across a link for another New York Times piece researching the link above.  It is a reprint of a 1992 letter to the editor, "Socialism Makes Everybody Equally Poor."

Rush took more calls.  A male caller asked Rush what Rush would do in Afghanistan if he were president.  Rush answered that he would win.  "We win they loose,"  Rush said adding that he would talk with his commanders.  Rush explained the end game that so many wring their hands about very clearly, "get out when we win."  Rush played a quote of Obama saying that Afghanistan is, "t an American battle,"  it's a NATO battle.  Rush asks, "who is NATO?"  Answer We [America], Britain mostly, and also Australia.  Rush translates Obama's comment, "means when we loose...it's not his fault.  It's NATO's."

Rush talked about some personal things how his personal seamstress is going to be taking clothes in.  He revealed how Katie called to want to look at the Sunset.  Rush confessed he jogged back.

Rush was bothered by an AP article, US income gag widens as poor take hit in recession. that quotes Richard Freeman from Harvard, "No one should be surprised at the increased disparity," said Richard Freeman, an economist at Harvard University. "Unemployment hurts normal workers who do not have the golden parachutes the folks at the top have."

Rush corrects that small businesses don't have golden parachutes.  He discusses how if a small business is over taxed and over regulated that they can't hire employees, which more accurately describes what's happening.   Rush used a boat analogy that may have been used in another article.  Essentially, if you lower the boat of the rich the dingys of the poor go down too.  Back to the article Rush remarks that not all the wealthy are executives.    Rush also takes exception to the use of the word 'WORKERS.'  Workers, he points out, is a Communist phrase.  We have employees or associates.  This is example of how the lexicon of the country is beating infected by the left.  On the article Rush describes it as, "hopelessly uninformed and naive."

Rush mentioned about Andy Williams' interview with a UK radio station.  Williams accuses Obams of pushing a Marxist agenda and that he [Obama] wants America to fail.  Adding that [Obama] wants to turn us into a Socialist country.  The Telegraph UK has the article, Andy Williams accuses Barack Obama of following Marxist theory.

Rush then talked about the school kids praising Obama in the creepy songs that have made the airways.  Rush mentioned an entire album of this and then played a spoof commercial for such an album.  The commercial included clips of the school kid chants, an Obama sound-alike touting that the album Kid Songs of Revolution featured songs in, "original German." Also included were what sounded like vintage Nazi songs, each clip introduced by the Obama sound-alike - One Leader Forever, Hope Is In The Air, Change Is Here. The spoof commercial details the album is available at ACORN offices, and teacher's unions everywhere.  It also mentioned an Ahmadinejad based Web Site.  The spoof ends with, "Kid Songs of the Revolution, indoctrination hasn't been this much fun since 1933."  Funny AND scary.

Rush also brought up Obama talking about doing year round schools and the negative impact that would have on the hotel and entertainment industries, amusement parks, etc.  Of course Rush points out teacher's salaries would likely get increased and that would be good for the unions.

Rush took more calls.  One fellow is an Iraq and Afghan vet described clearly the strategy for Afghanistan needs to be to secure Afghanistan so the bad guys don't take over and launch attacks on the world from there.  

A woman caller wondered why Rush presumed people are smart and they spoke about the difficulty talking with liberals.

Rush observed, "If America was liberal Obama wouldn't have to sound like a moderate."  Rush points out that some libs like Barney Frank are finding out people don't like their policies.

Rush played clips of Patrick Kennedy and Rush reiterated that, "They will tell us what works."  Rush also said how Kennedy was projecting on saying Tea Party signs were personal attacks, because that's what they do.  Rush mentions later the group behind the Bury Obamacare with Kennedy signs is American Life League.  It is a pro-life organization and is particularly concerned with provisions in the healthcare reform that pay for abortions, and that they believe will authorize the killing of severely disabled and the elderly.  American Life League's perspective is detailed on their Web Site.

Rush was offered the chance to be a judge for Miss America and there was discussion on doing this and opinions from listeners.  

A woman caller said of Obama, "he's not doing much."  Rush politely disagreed noting, "He is gobbling up," everything he can, though the, "constitution is standing in his way."  Rush referred to the Czars as extraconstitutional as in outside of it. He mentioned an article by David Broder, didn't catch the exact one.

Rush also mentioned that NBC will showcase Maria Shriver's study on US woman.  He mentioned the report last week about women being unhappy.  Regarding more woman news Rush mentioned a book review in the Guardian UK, Why Woman Have Sex 237 reasons are detailed in the book. According to the book romance and love are not high on the list. Rush thinks books like this contribute to woman being unhappy.  That's about it.

What Rush Said - September 18, 2009

The show started this quiet day with a mock address from Putin about President Obama abandoning missile shield systems in Poland and Czech Republic on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland.  The Putin sound alike commended Obama.  He ['Putin'] continued his praise, adding that the Kremlin is divided on whether this move shows, "you [Obama] are sucking up to me," or showed, "incredibly poor timing.  Everyone thinks you are strategically stupid."  'Putin' referred to the 70th anniversary of, "the peaceful" entry into Poland.

Rush next discussed Health and Human Services Secretary, Katheleen Sebelius's, demonstration of and recommended method of sneezing into one's sleeves as being what, "Otis the drunk," from the Andy Griffith show would do.  Rush suggests that, "blowing [your] nose on sleeve," is the type of behavior that elitists would normally expect goes on in conservative churches.  Rush wonders what's wrong with a tissue.

New poll results show ever increasing opposition to Obama's healthcare plans.  

Rush mentioned reports about unhappy woman.  Rush said he doesn't, "accept all women are unhappy... probably liberal women are."

Rush pointed out a story about a key Obama supporter.  One report on KCRA.com explains the president of Service Employees International Union Local 1000 District Labour Council 784 (i.e. Union) and, "California Department of Insurance employee," was sentenced to, "25 years in state prison."  He, "pleaded no contest to child pornography."  They continue, "Jamie Enrique Feliciano, a registered sex offender," was living in a home, "next to a children's day care center."  Rush observes, "this is Obama's America."

Rush talked about a story out of St. Louis, Missouri - the lights on the Gateway arch are being turned off so as not to interfere with bird migration.  

Rush played a clip of ACORN, 'CEO' figure head Bertha Lewis. She complained of racial overtones that undercover reporters posed as a pimp and prostitute because they [undercover reporters] thought the ACORN office would respond to that.  Rush points out that they did.

Rush highlighted a report in the Washington Post about how First Lady Michele Obama caused numerous street closures and a massive deployment of secret service to get some organic Tuscan Kale. After enumerating all the vehicles and measures taken for this little visit to the farmer's market Rush commented there's, "nothing like the simple pleasures of a farm."  Rush concluded on this, using a phrase similar to or precisely, "total hypocrisy."

Rush enjoyed revealing a story about Public Policy Polling.  Dean Debnam, the founder and president of Public Policy Polling according to Rush is a, "huge liberal Democrat."  Rush says that Debnam says in an interview that he [Debnam] is, "being asked NOT to poll," in some places.  Rush explains, this is because the results are so bad, they [Democrats and White House] can't afford to poll on issues.  Rush plays a sound bite of of Debnam saying this.

Rush also played a sound clip of someone heckling President Obama at yet another speech by Obama on the topic of healthcare.

Rush mentioned carbon credits being sold at high markup of the cost.  He also mentioned a report that carbon credits are being sold in San Francisco.  San Francisco airport opens 'Climate Passport' kiosks.

Rush discussed a sound clip of President Obama taking about the healthcare plan not covering illegals and then bringing up immigration.  Rush explains that illegals won't be covered in the way that with amnesty - the illegals will be made legal and then they would be covered.  An article in the Washington Times detail this.

Rush got a note from his staff that Obama may have plagiarized the phrase, "Ant's in my pants."  This prompted the playing of King of Soul, James Brown, singing a song with the lyrics, "ants in my pants, I need to dance."  It was an interesting clip, however it was not clear when or where President Obama said anything about ants.

Rush announced Media Tweak of the day as a possible a new feature, when the media will misinterpret something that takes place on the show.  As an example, Rush DID NOT suggest there should be segregated buses in relation to the story about the white student beat up on a bus by a black student while other black students watched and some cheering.

Rush is discussing a picture of a witch doctor.  There's a picture that is of Obama's brother, the one who lives in a hut.  It is not Obama dressed up as a witch doctor,

Caller suggests the title, "Rush Limbaugh family museum," for a museum to be built in the village where Obama's family lives.  

This call was regarding Obama's family in Africa waiting for money.  Water is brought in by donkey's.  Obama's grandmother is described by a village leader as living in, "a multi-hut compound." Rush said, "The elders want to build an Obama family museum."  Rush figures it wouldn't cost that much assuming the building was a hut.

Rush played a sound clip of Olympia Snow describing the core principles of the Republican Party - limited government, individual liberties, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense. Rush comments that, while she did describe core Republican values, SHE does not embody them.  Rather Snow is an example of a blue blood country club Democrat-lite type.

A caller suggests maybe Rahm Emanuel is having a hard try managing this crisis.

Rush responds that, "pretty soon, if you want money, you will have to go through some sort of government agency."

Rush continues, this is, the"why 2010 elections are crucial."  Rush adds, "when you have as your mission to totally destroy the private sector... you have to know you will create chaos...," further explaining that chaos is part of what they [White House, Democrat Party] want.

A caller mentioned how here children were raised on Rush.  She then described how the EPA is going after small organic farmers.  Her story is based on the experience of her friend in Florida.  Apparently, the EPA is either requiring producers to abandon their organic certificate or defend it.  Defend a certificate can be costly from $300 to $500,000 each.  This  also requires extensive documentation, which a grower/producer would already have completed and maintained in order to have the certificate they currently have.  

A caller suggested Snerdley do more official Obama criticism .  Rush asks, "how many shows have callers" requesting to hear more from their screeners?

During the show, Rush played a clip of First Lady Michelle Obama getting chocked up talking about a time when one of their daughters was sick and needed to go to the emergency room. This story was to push Obama's healthcare.   She said she remembered thinking how lucky she was to have health insurance.  Rush didn't buy that suggesting that if you have a sick child and need to get to the hospital, you're thinking about that - not anything else.  He also points out that the child would be treated at the hospital insurance or no insurance as that's the law.  Michelle Obama also mentioned healthcare passage as being part of a plan.  Rush caught this "plan" reference.

Rush ended the show noting, former Time Magazine editor who asked if G'd is Dead, John T. Elson, "is rip himself."

Rush wished everyone a good weekend.
