What did we learn last night?  I mean, we really learned a lot.  This was one of the <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14375\">best debate performances in my life<\/a>.  I know people are saying in the last 20 years, <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14753\">that would take us back to 1980.  And Reagan was awesome<\/a>.  But this was awesome from start to finish, but particularly measured against fears and expectations.  It couldn\u2019t have been any better.  I mean, I had a couple of nitpicks.  I would have liked to have heard my taxes are gonna get cut, too, and I wish at the end he\u2019d have just gone in there and continued to nail the guy, but he went nice. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67805\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RomneyObamaDebateClint.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, Obama at the end, people were saying it was actually his high point, his closing statement. I don\u2019t think so when you hear it.  We got audio.  He was rambling and he was wandering in search of a thought all night long.  He was stringing cliches together.  What we learned last night is that Obama, what he has to have in order to convey the appearance of being credible, he needs a well-written speech from somebody other than himself. He needs a teleprompter, and he needs props.  And he needs a shield.  He needs a protective media. <\/p>\n<p>He really does.  He needs the confidence that whatever he says is gonna be covered up, corrected, taken care of, propagandized.  He didn\u2019t have a well-written speech from somebody else last night. He didn\u2019t have a teleprompter. He didn\u2019t have any props.  And he did not have the confidence that comes with knowing his propagandists were on the case.  Mitt Romney actually told Barack Obama last night, &#8220;You pick losers.&#8221;  I stood up and cheered.  Some people pick winners and losers.  You pick losers.  There are a couple really great moments amidst a whole slew of them last night. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you, I checked here during the break, and many places on the left &#8212; a lot of tweets &#8212; really think that Obama purposely <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14552\">withheld the 47% comment <\/a>that Romney made to the donors. &#8220;He\u2019s saving that. He\u2019s gonna really launch on that one of the next two debates, same thing with the Cayman Islands. Obama saved the big guns.&#8221; See, they\u2019re not gonna hurt Romney with Cayman Islands and that 47%. You know, I ought to shut up about it. I ought to just go quiet and let them stumble into that.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lGwTh-xXoQc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a land mine. There\u2019s a reason Obama didn\u2019t use it last night. It opens up Obama. The whole thing\u2019s fabricated and predicated on a lie. You people on the left are gonna have to understand: Everything you think about me, everything you think about Romney, everything you think about conservatism is a lie. You\u2019ve been told lies. You believe lies. You think that Romney actually doesn\u2019t care about 47% of the country? You really believe that?<\/p>\n<p>You really want to hit him with that after what you saw last night? Be my guest. You concoct these imaginary scenarios and then you end up believing your own lies! They\u2019re pathological, and then you think you\u2019re sitting there on a gold mine. The Obama campaign, I know they\u2019re running ads about Romney\u2019s 47% comments. And if it comes up in the debate, Romney could explain it and defend it &#8212; and they don\u2019t want that.<\/p>\n<p>They want that 47% out there unanswered. You people hoping he brings it up, I\u2019m sorry. I think you\u2019re gonna be disappointed. I don\u2019t think it can survive being answered. It only works if it\u2019s a lie in a campaign ad. But is it working? Last I saw on The Politico last night, Romney\u2019s up four. You guys have run $300 million of attack ads on Romney! How\u2019s that working out for you? And then the first time substance comes up? Real substance, ideas?<\/p>\n<p>Look what happens. You get smoked, because your ideas don\u2019t cut it. Hell, you can\u2019t even be honest about your ideas. Obama tried to talk about free markets last night, entrepreneurism, capitalism? He doesn\u2019t believe any of it. You guys can\u2019t be honest. This is why we conservatives are so frustrated with the Republican Party acting in ways not to offend you, rather than just be conservative.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=37804\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67807\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/00-24_7Self585.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Every day in America could be like last night. Politically, every day could be. I also like that Romney got a couple zingers in. This is one. This is the kind of thing that Obama and Michelle, when they get home last night, they are livid about. They are enraged. &#8220;How dare Romney insult me this way! How dare he treat me like that! How dare he say that! How dare he!&#8221; This little bite here is 43 seconds. You\u2019ll remember it.<\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY: So if the tax plan he described were a tax plan I was asked to support, I\u2019d say absolutely not. I\u2019m not looking for a $5 trillion tax cut. What I\u2019ve said is I won\u2019t put in place a tax cut that adds to the deficit. That\u2019s part one. So there\u2019s no economist that can say Mitt Romney\u2019s tax plan adds $5 trillion if I say I will not add to the deficit with my tax plan. Number two, I will not reduce the share paid by high-income individuals.<\/p>\n<p>I know that you and your running mate keep saying that and I know it\u2019s a popular thing to say with a lot of people, but it\u2019s just not the case. Look, I\u2019ve got five boys. I\u2019m used to people saying something that\u2019s not always true, but just keep on repeating it and ultimately hoping I\u2019ll believe it. But that &#8212; that is not the case. All right? I will not reduce the taxes paid by high-income Americans. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, there were two great zingers, put-downs last night.  One of them was when Romney said to Obama, (paraphrasing) &#8220;You know, you keep talking about this $5 trillion tax cut for the rich.  There isn\u2019t one.  I\u2019m not cutting taxes $5 trillion.  You know, I\u2019ve got five boys.  I\u2019m used to this. I\u2019m used to people trying to tell me things over and over again that aren\u2019t true hoping that I\u2019ll just eventually believe it, but that\u2019s not the case.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In this instance, Romney telling Obama, &#8220;Look, I\u2019ve dealt with children like you.  I\u2019ve dealt with kids like you who try to lie and try to tell everybody things over and over again enough so that they\u2019ll believe it. But it ain\u2019t gonna work with me \u2019cause I\u2019m used to the trick.&#8221;  The other thing that Romney said, Obama\u2019s harping on the so-called tax break that Big Oil gets.  By the way, that was a pathetic throwback to a Democrat playbook page from 10, 15, 20 years ago.  Gasoline prices are rising.  I don\u2019t think Obama really wanted to go there.  Gas prices in California have hit a record high, and there are now supply shortages.  That\u2019s happening while Obama\u2019s president.  Obama\u2019s out there talking about, (imitating Obama) &#8220;We gotta get rid of tax breaks for Big Oil.  Four billion a year.&#8221; And Romney looked at that, (paraphrasing) &#8220;Four billion a year, you gave away $90 billion to green energy that hadn\u2019t amounted to anything.  You threw $90 billion away, a lot of it to your donors,&#8221; and that\u2019s when Obama kind of smiled sheepishly and looked down. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67836\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaGasPrices585.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>By the way, when somebody looks down, they can\u2019t face the truth.  It\u2019s no more complicated than that.  Your kid does it, you do it, you look down, you\u2019re avoiding the truth.  You\u2019re hiding from the truth.  Now, Romney\u2019s pounding him on that $90 billion.  He mentioned Solyndra.  He said, &#8220;You don\u2019t just get to pick the winners and losers.  You pick the losers.&#8221;  You know, I\u2019m sitting on my sofa and I\u2019m pounding my fist in the air. I\u2019m not saying anything \u2019cause I want to keep hearing what\u2019s going on. I\u2019m just pounding the tabletop, &#8220;Keep going, keep going.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>You pick the losers. You want to talk about $4 billion to Big Oil, how about you throw  $90 billion on a bunch of algae.  It was awesome.  That was a gut punch, and Obama looked tiny.  He looked tiny and willowy, and that\u2019s when he looked down, started making notes feverishly or what have you.  That was one of my favorite points in the debate.<\/p>\n<p>Woodinville, Washington.  This is Fred.  I\u2019m glad you called, sir.  It\u2019s great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Rush, thank you very much from a proud member of Rush 24\/7 in the deep blue state of Washington.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I appreciate that.  Thank you very much, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I appreciate it as well.  My take on this from start to finish is that Barack Obama did everything in his power to avoid exposing more of his core ideology, which is why all the deflection, which is why at one point in the debates, and I\u2019m not sure if it wasn\u2019t during the role of government, after one of Romney\u2019s statements, he said, &#8220;I don\u2019t believe that.&#8221;  I\u2019m pretty sure it was in the role of government, but it\u2019s core and fundamental.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, look, you\u2019re exactly right.  Another reason why Obama is hamstrung in there is because he can\u2019t tell the truth about what he believes. He can\u2019t reveal what a second term will be.  He cannot be honest.  And when Romney is setting the table with his ideas and his agenda and what he\u2019s going to do and why, Obama can\u2019t refute it without sealing his defeat.  I don\u2019t care what people think, we have not become a socialist country.  You talk about have we lost the country, have we lost the culture, all the people on welfare. <\/p>\n<p>We have not, I\u2019m convinced, we have not reached the point where somebody campaigning forthrightly and honestly on the agenda of growing government, shrinking the private sector, taking from people and redistributing the money and all that, point-blank saying that, and explaining, the reason I did health care in steps is \u2019cause I know you won\u2019t accept a total federal take over in one year, so I\u2019m gonna have to fool you and do it in over 10 or 15 years, take away all of your options so that all that\u2019s left is government.  Somebody that runs and campaigns on that, doesn\u2019t win.  We\u2019ve not reached the point where a candidate can tell somebody how he\u2019s going to pull the trick on getting national health care on the country, on the people, and get elected.  Which is a heartening thing. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67837\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaCarterDNC.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So you\u2019re right, Obama, in addition to acting like he didn\u2019t care, you people on the left, you sympathetic media people, you gotta understand, he can\u2019t be honest about what you all want.  He cannot tell the truth.  He has to come out and either ignore, deflect, or lie or what have you.  I\u2019ll tell you, there was another great line.  And I\u2019ve got these sound bites.  But I figure you all watched the debate.  I don\u2019t need to relive all that.  Besides, you care what I think about it now that you\u2019ve seen it; that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing here. <\/p>\n<p>There was this blatant lie by Obama. Here\u2019s the guy who was the author of the shutdown of drilling for oil in ANWR, the shutdown of drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico. The guy who\u2019s got a drilling moratorium on both coasts in this country. The man single-handedly responsible for increasing energy dependence in this country. A man single-handedly responsible for shutting down the production of oil and natural gas, Barack Obama last night said, (paraphrasing) &#8220;In my administration, production of oil and natural gas is at an all-time high,&#8221; and Romney jumped in there and said, &#8220;Mr. President, the gas boom and the oil boom are happening on private land where you don\u2019t have anything to say about it.  Government land, there is no boom in oil.  We are not issuing any leases.  There are moratoriums.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Just shot him down with one remark.  I mean just nailed him, just shut it down instantly, just exposed Obama as a full-fledged misleading liar.  Romney was saying, &#8220;I like coal, I like clean burning coal.&#8221;  Anyway, just throwing it right back in Obama\u2019s face. &#8220;I like coal.  I like fossil fuels.  It\u2019s cheap energy.&#8221;  And he talked about how important energy was.  That\u2019s why Obama did not bring up redistribution until his final statement, and he didn\u2019t use the word.  He used the word everybody needs &#8220;a fair share.&#8221;  Most of the night Obama was trying to sound like a deficit hawk.  The guy who\u2019s added $5.5 trillion to the national debt was trying to sound like the number one deficit killer that we\u2019ve ever had.  Every time he talked about how much he\u2019d reduced the deficit and improved schools, it was laughably pathetic, really was. <\/p>\n<p>The precious independents?  I\u2019m telling you, the precious independents saw Mitt Romney that they had not seen before.  All they\u2019ve seen is Romney and Obama commercials.  They\u2019re sitting there going, &#8220;Whoa, whoa, whoa.  This doesn\u2019t compute. This doesn\u2019t look like a guy who would let a guy\u2019s wife die.&#8221;  I guarantee you, it was not a good night for Obama in any way, shape, manner, or form.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. Edwardsville, Illinois. Hi, Kent. It\u2019s great to have you on the most-listened to radio talk show in the country. A lot of Democrats today, too, I\u2019m sure are listening and trying to make sense of what happened last night. They\u2019ve come to right place. How are you, sir?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Very good. Yourself?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Very well. Very, very, very well. Almost never better.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Dittos from the Metro East.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Metro East. It\u2019s great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67838\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaHateRomneyIowa.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. Anyway, to make a long story short, for weeks leading up to these debates I\u2019ve been somewhat apprehensive about some things and really never even told anyone about my apprehensiveness. I was worried that the media, being in the pocket of Obama, may give the questions to Obama. Therefore, an advantage would be had. But, you know, after watching last night and listening, they could give him the answers, the questions, and whatever they wanted. And, to be honest, Mitt would just blow \u2019em out of the water.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They coulda had a secret earpiece telling him what to do; it wouldn\u2019ta mattered. This is my whole point. Their ideas don\u2019t cut it. There was no answer to what Romney was saying, not that Obama can be honest about. This is why I opened the program today saying &#8212; and I\u2019m not exaggerating &#8212; that if that debate last night was the Republican Party every day, if what happened last night was how the Republican Party is known, there wouldn\u2019t be any concerns about the Hispanic vote.<\/p>\n<p>There wouldn\u2019t be any concern about the Jewish vote. There wouldn\u2019t be any concern about the elderly vote. That was it last night! It wasn\u2019t so much that it was just conservatism. It was facts. It was the truth. I\u2019ll give you an example. Jim Lehrer asked, &#8220;What is the role of government to you?&#8221; And Obama said (impression), &#8220;Well, what I\u2019d do, uhh, is I\u2019d hire more teachers.&#8221; Romney said, &#8220;Look behind me. That\u2019s the Constitution right here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The role of government is to defend and protect the Constitution. The right to life,&#8221; explained that, &#8220;right to liberty,&#8221; explained that, &#8220;pursuit to happiness,&#8221; explained that. &#8220;That\u2019s the role of government.&#8221; I mean, it\u2019s no contest! (Obama impression) &#8220;Well, I &#8212; I &#8212; I\u2019d hire&#8230; I\u2019d hire more teachers. And, you know what? I\u2019ll also make sure extremists can\u2019t make videos th-th-that are gonna upset Muslims.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not even a contest, folks. It was such a teachable moment last night. It really, really was. You\u2019re exactly right. By the way, even if Obama would have had the questions, what questions were there? &#8220;Do you disagree with him on Social Security?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d really need to prep that one.<\/p>\n<p>That woulda really help if I knew that one in advance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You know, ladies and gentlemen, Obama came off even worse in his debate with Romney last night than he did in his debate with Clint Eastwood.
