RUSH: They\u2019re all upset in the Drive-By Media that Jack Welch and I accused the Bureau of Labor Statistics of fudging the unemployment numbers last week, and we were even cautioned by conservative thinkers over the weekend not to suggest that the numbers were cooked. “Don\u2019t go there! It\u2019s dangerous territory.” They begged me and Jack Welch to walk that back. It was just a statistical anomaly.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: A little prelude on the unemployment number segment coming up in just a few moments. The Gallup poll — the Gallup people, by the way, are being sued by the regime. I\u2019m not kidding. David Axelrod asked Holder at the DOJ to look into Gallup when they published some polling results they didn\u2019t like. I\u2019m not making that up. So Gallup is under investigation by the regime. The chief economist at Gallup is saying that Obama\u2019s job numbers look like they have been cooked, the number last week, the 7.8%. Gallup\u2019s guy is under investigation by the regime. Jack Welch thought the numbers have been cooked. I thought the numbers have been cooked. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A number of distinguished conservative thinkers in the Beltway cautioned all of us, “Don\u2019t go there. Don\u2019t get into this conspiracy on the regime cooking the numbers. It\u2019s a statistical anomaly.” Well, whatever. When you boil it all down, what we\u2019re being told is that 7.8, 7.9, 8.1, 8.2, it\u2019s the new normal, right? The bottom line is, I don\u2019t want to settle for an unemployment number 7.8%, folks. And we\u2019re being told to settle. That\u2019s good news? It isn\u2019t good news. Eight-point-two is not good news, either. The U-6 number, 14.7. That\u2019s the total unemployment number people who are looking and who\u2019ve given up looking for work. That\u2019s the real number, 14.7. And it\u2019s obviously probably higher than that. But the cost is in real human terms. These numbers are just statistics. They represent real human lives severely damaged, and I resent deeply this notion that we\u2019re to be pleased with 7.8%. <\/p>\n

“But, Mr. Limbaugh, it represents a positive trend.” <\/p>\n

It does not represent a positive trend. It represents a new normal, a new country where we\u2019re not expected to do any better than that. We\u2019re being told to reelect Obama on this basis. Why, is this as good as it gets, then? There\u2019s a reason for this. There\u2019s a reason why this country\u2019s being asked to accept a bunch of new normals that are morally depraved, culturally deficient. There\u2019s a reason for this. I used to believe that the election of George W. Bush represented the rebuke of Clintonism. And by Clintonism, I mean everything that came along with Bill Clinton. Lying is now good for you. It\u2019s okay to be found to be lying under oath. It\u2019s okay to have sex in the Oval Office, as long as it didn\u2019t affect your job. It was basically okay to be as depraved and morally deficient as Bill Clinton was. <\/p>\n

I thought the election of George W. Bush was an official rebuke, the country was rebuking that and finally saying enough is enough. I remember I was invited to have dinner with some baseball people at the White House a month or so after Bush had been elected, and I led a toast expressing appreciation for the fact that the White House, the Oval Office, were now in much better hands, morally and spiritually, any number of ways, and all the baseball people agreed with me. They all said, “I agree with what he said,” which I\u2019m used to. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve rebuked it now. I think I was wrong. I think the eight years of George W. Bush were just an interval. <\/p>\n

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

If Obama and the Democrats and the media succeed in redefining current economic circumstances as the new norm, I believe we can trace this acceptance, this lowering of standards, right back to Bill Clinton and I\u2019m speaking both politically and morally as it relates to the culture of our society and the political nature of our society. Bill Clinton was the architect of the acceptance of moral failure and decline at the upper levels of leadership in our country. Sex in the Oval Office with an intern that basically ruined that girl\u2019s life. All the Kathleen Willey\u2019s and the Juanita Broaddricks, I mean, the women were legion. And we were told, no big deal, none of our business. Newsweek spiked the Lewinsky story. Stop and think of what was going on in the Oval Office. <\/p>\n

I remember that night with the baseball guys and their wives at the White House, Bush gave everybody a tour. We got to the Oval Office and everybody wanted to see where the Lewinsky stuff happened, which kinda ticked me off. I mean, I can understand it. But of all the things that had gone on in the Oval Office historically, to want to see where Clinton and Lewinsky did the deeds, it kind of ticked me off, if I could be honest with you about it. Not at the people, just at the situation. It was natural thing to be curious about. They didn\u2019t ask Bush. They asked each other, “Where do you think it was?”<\/p>\n

“Mr. President, where is the study off of the oval office?” They all knew where it happened, so Bush would show them. Nobody said Clinton\u2019s name, everybody knew what was going on. I\u2019m sitting there, do you realize the really historical stuff… Bill Clinton used to show up all sweaty from a jog in his T-shirt and running shorts. Ronald Reagan would never even take his jacket off in the Oval Office. Nobody could deny that we\u2019ve had declining standards, morally and culturally, and every adult generation thinks that. But at the highest levels of leadership, it\u2019s a relatively new thing, this kind. So I believe, just as Clinton is the architect of the acceptance of moral failure and decline at the upper levels of leadership, so is Barack Obama the architect of acceptance of moral failure and decline within the culture at large, including our economy. <\/p>\n

The triumph of morons who just accept the current economy as it\u2019s the new normal, that\u2019s just what it is. Maybe they\u2019re too young to remember it any better. Maybe they\u2019ve got hero worship or idolatry of Obama, the celebrity of the United States rather than president. And since he\u2019s so cool, that whatever happens is thus cool. But it isn\u2019t cool. Seven-point-eight percent unemployment is not cool; 14.7% total unemployment, not cool. Forty-seven percent of the country on food stamps. Not cool. Four or five-dollar-a-gallon gasoline. Not cool. Our ambassador in Libya dead. Uncool. Nothing that has happened these last four years under Obama\u2019s tutelage is cool. But it is. Many people just accept it. It\u2019s the new norm. <\/p>\n

Accompanying all of this is a suspicion — and this is the real troubling thing — while we have 47% on food stamps, and while we have 14.7% unemployed, 25 million or whatever, while the universe of jobs has shrunk, while there is no economic growth, while we\u2019re going in debt like mad, we are sentencing children and grandchildren to lives of servitude based on the tax rates they\u2019re going to have face in order to deal with this debt, the entitlement mess, it\u2019s an absolute disaster that Obama has wrought, and in the midst of all this the people we now suspect are those who\u2019ve achieved, those people of success and achievement and accomplishment. <\/p>\n

\"original\"<\/p>\n

People in those categories, in those groups now represent what\u2019s considered threatening. They\u2019re now the targets of our society. Not the people responsible for the moral failing, not the people responsible for the lowering of standards, both in the new norm economically, the unemployment number, and culturally as well, but if you succeed, if you have a good income, if you are improving your quality of life and your family, you have become what is threatening in our society. And you are the one that has to be dealt with. You somehow have to be gotten even with. You are the one that has a target on your back. You\u2019re not paying your fair share. You\u2019re not carrying your full weight. You\u2019re not doing what\u2019s expected of you. It\u2019s upside down.<\/p>\n

So while there is a general acceptance among the Moron Class for all of this deviancy and economic activity defined down, there\u2019s now a suspicion of accomplished, educated, achieved people. They somehow represent what\u2019s wrong with America! People like Mitt Romney, for example, and Paul Ryan. We\u2019re told that they represent what\u2019s wrong, and I think all this is traceable to Bill Clinton and the acceptance of the new norms that we were told were the new norms during his administration.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve thought about this. I was reflecting on this over the weekend. I actually think Bill Clinton himself has been more damaging to our country than Watergate was. Watergate is considered the scandal of all scandals. I think Clinton\u2019s eight years — and I\u2019m not talking about just policy or issues. The overall decline in what was expected of leaders, the overall decline in the requirements that we had of people leading us.<\/p>\n

They be better people than average. Smarter, morally rock solid — as much as anybody can be. (I mean, everybody fails.) If it were to happen today… Just to illustrate? If Watergate were to happen today, and it was a Democrat president, it would be accepted. It would maybe be, in fact, praised as a brilliant political move in winning the election. Because that\u2019s all anything is about is the reelection of a Democrat.<\/p>\n

So if a Democrat today perpetrated a Watergate or worse, it would be accepted. And anybody who criticized it or raised questions about it would be considered to be a troublemaker or a rabble-rouser or an “extreme right-winger” or what have you. And all because of the permitted and accepted rehabilitation of Bill Clinton to the status he now holds. All the stuff that he did has been forgotten, thrown away, or not kept properly in context.<\/p>\n

I just hate hearing — I\u2019m offended to no end — that 7.8% unemployment is the new norm and that that\u2019s something that somebody deserves to be reelected for. Yeah, \u2019cause it\u2019s way down from 8.9% or whatever it was. Oh, yeah, right. Nothing\u2019s any better, and everybody knows the job situation isn\u2019t any better! Everybody knows that people are not advancing in their careers.<\/p>\n

\"original\"<\/p>\n

Everybody knows that if there are jobs being created, they\u2019re part time. Everybody knows this is an absolute mess, and yet we\u2019re being told for the pure sake of reelecting a Democrat that this is the new norm. In other words, “Get used to it,” and it\u2019s much easier to get used to it if we\u2019ve been told previously, “Just accept that we\u2019re gonna have leaders getting Lewinskys in the Oval Office! It\u2019s not a big deal when a Democrat does it.”<\/p>\n

We have a scandal out there right now. For the second election in a row, the Obama campaign is soliciting campaign donations from foreigners under $200 so they don\u2019t have to be reported. Watergate every day is the new norm with your average Democrat administration — and anybody who wants to call attention to it is just a rabble-rousing troublemaker.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s that quote from the Gallup chief economist: “Friday\u2019s [labor] report of a drop to 7.8% [unemployment] in the Household survey seemed to surprise everyone… The problem is that even though the Household survey tends to be very volatile, this decline seems to lack face-validity, particularly after the prior month\u2019s numbers.” Gallup is questioning the 7.8% unemployment number. And even if you don\u2019t question it — even if you don\u2019t want to go there — you don\u2019t have to accept it!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not acceptable.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have to settle for this.<\/p>\n

This should not be the new norm.<\/p>\n

I want the old American norm back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
