What Rush Said - during Week of March 21st, 2011 - flying by the seat of our pantsuit

Here's a highlight that says it all. If memory serves, it came about during a discussion about Libya: We're [America under the Obama regime] flying by the seat of our pantsuit.

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.

What Rush Said February 25, 2011: Obama = Nero

In context of discussion about questionable Obama responses to events in Libya - after a caller expressed dismay at the fact the White House was holding a Motown celebration while the Middle East is, "going to hell in a hand-basket," the discussion turned to the seemingly excessive amounts of parties and vacations the First Family has. The comparison to the phrase about ancient Roman ruler Nero was made by EIB* staff. That of the legendary situation of Nero fiddling** while Rome burned. Rush provided an ancient history lesson, remarking, according to the tale, that Nero set the fire, then played a fiddle while Rome burned. Rush further explained that Nero wanted to rebuild Rome in his image. He left the Obama-is-like-Roman-Emperor-Nero comparison there for the audience to draw their own own conclusions.

What Rush Said - February 24, 2011: Obama - Reckless and Lawless

Rush describes the Obama presidency as reckless and lawless. He references everything from Obama ignoring federal law, undermining states, and his lackluster and uneven response to the ongoing events in the Middle East.
