Wolf used to be a serious newsman. Wolf did. I have to say, Wolf used to be a serious newsman. He just&#8230; He\u2019s an Obama fanboy now.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s with coanchorette Ashleigh Banfield.

And Banfield says, &#8220;Joe Biden skirted this issue. He said, &#8216;I\u2019m gonna let Romney\u2019s tape speak for itself.\u2019 But, Wolf, did you feel like this was President Obama getting tough or not getting tough enough? Is he leaving this for the super PAC?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_67225\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaLettermanNetanyahu2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: You know, I &#8212; I think what\u2019s clear is that he really came across very smooth, very confident, very presidential in that interview with Letterman last night. He was really at the top of his game. In the scheme of things, you know, who\u2019s gonna get you more votes? Uh, a meeting that could be tense with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, or go on Letterman and come across as well as he did last night. I think the answer is pretty clear.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" width=\"585\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/116822\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So it\u2019s all about votes! Which we\u2019ve always known, but here\u2019s Wolf admitting it. It\u2019s not about statesmanship; it\u2019s not about security in the region. Who would you rather meet with to get votes, Netanyahu &#8212; who can smoke you &#8212; or Letterman, the clueless dunce who\u2019s gonna let you have the run of the show so you don\u2019t even have to say anything and Wolf Blitzer thinks that you shine?<\/p>\n<p>Obama didn\u2019t say anything. He just sat there and looked professorial. &#8220;Well, Dave&#8230;&#8221; He even fist bumped Letterman once. He didn\u2019t say anything. Did you see the interview? He didn\u2019t say anything. He just ripped into the video and so forth. Oh, he did say that he got tough with the Muslims over there in Egypt. He told them that they have to protect our people. He read \u2019em the riot act. Yeah, right. But there you have it. Wolf Blitzer (summarized): &#8220;What would you rather do to get votes, Ashleigh, go sit around with Netanyahu or go with Letterman? No question Obama did the right thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reeeeally?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know how old I am? Well, yeah, I\u2019m 61, but I\u2019m so old, I remember when Letterman used to be funny and it was presidents who were serious. That\u2019s how old I am. But now look at what\u2019s happened. It\u2019s Letterman, the comedian, who used to be funny, who\u2019s now getting all serious and the president goes on as the comedian joke guest. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Yesterday, CNN\u2019s Newsroom, Wolf Blitzer totally in the tank.
