Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.  Snerdley told me I only had a minute to talk to you, so I\u2019ll talk really fast.  I hope you can understand.  I retired from NBC News about 10 years ago.  Back in \u201993, you were gracious enough to stop on your way into the Tonight Show and sign your two books.  And that\u2019s the first time I met you.  I\u2019ve been a long-time listener since the first time you went on the air. I think it was KNX 1070 in Los Angeles.  Now I\u2019m up in Central California.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0F4LtTlktm0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The reason for my call is this: On Wednesday you were perplexed as to why the Obama administration would be so upset over the Romney welfare ad that he\u2019s running.  And I think this is the reason why.  The answer is it goes right at Obama\u2019s strengths, or what they perceive as their strengths.  That being &#8220;fairness.&#8221;  If you can remember all the times that Obama and Biden have gone out there and talked about &#8220;leveling the playing field&#8221; and that everybody needs to pay their fair share&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s all about fairness, m\u2019kay? So when Romney goes after the welfare, nobody in America &#8212; especially the people who have built their businesses and especially the independents. What few of those are still left and undecided. Those people do not want to hear that people are sitting around getting a check and not doing work for the welfare check that they\u2019re getting in the mail.  And I think that\u2019s why they hate it so much.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, except those are the very people Obama\u2019s trying to reach.  Those are the votes that he wants.  He wants the votes of the slackers.  He wants the votes of people who no longer will have to work. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  No, but he also wants &#8212; and where he\u2019s trailing &#8212; is he needs the working-class vote.  I know you said he wrote the white working class vote off.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, he has.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_65800\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaClintonWelfare-1.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  But he needs people to vote for him besides these little constituency groups, all the minority groups.  He needs to get some people to cross over.  And some of the people who think, &#8220;Well, I work hard and I do my part. What\u2019s he talking about gutting welfare reform?  If somebody\u2019s going to get a check, I think they should have to work for it.&#8221;  Most people agree with that, and he\u2019s losing people by saying that and by taking that action.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay.  Well, let\u2019s just accept your point.  The obvious point that I would have is: Obama\u2019s not doing anything.  Policy-wise, he\u2019s not saying anything that even talks about people in the middle class having to work.  All he\u2019s talking about is penalizing the rich.  He\u2019s trying to portray the middle class as a bunch of victims.  The rich have taken their jobs.  The rich are not paying them fairly.  The rich have stolen everything they\u2019ve got from the poor.  <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15073\">He has written off the white, working class vote. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>And he\u2019s trying to suppress that vote. <\/p>\n<p>He is trying to depress those people.  He\u2019s trying to make sure that they don\u2019t vote at all since he\u2019s lost them.  And that\u2019s why the smear campaigns against Romney.  So why should so many people on welfare not have to pay their fair share?  I know what you\u2019re saying, and clearly the regime is upset about this.  I mean, there\u2019s no question they\u2019re upset about it.  In fact, let\u2019s go back. Let\u2019s grab number five.  This is the original ad.  This is the original Romney ad hitting Obama on gutting welfare. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gf_TjkvcWZY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>ANNOUNCER: In 1996, President Clinton and a bipartisan Congress helped end welfare as we know it, by requiring work for welfare. But on July 12th, President Obama quietly announced a plan to gut welfare reform by dropping work requirements.  Under Obama\u2019s plan, you wouldn\u2019t have to work and wouldn\u2019t have to train for a job.  They\u2019d just send you your welfare check.  And welfare-to-work goes back to being plain old welfare.  Mitt Romney will restore the work requirement because it works.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay.  So the regime is fit to be tied.  The New York Times, all of the regimes favored media outlets are suggesting that this ad is the lowest of the low, that this ad is as bad as the Obama PAC ad with the guy claiming that Romney killed his wife.  This ad is mild in tone and in structure.  This is not a boisterous, loud, accusatory ad.  It\u2019s very laid back, but it\u2019s filled with facts.  Obama gutted the work requirements.  So why would Obama be ticked off about this? <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_65806\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushRomneyWelfareAd.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Now, the caller\u2019s point was that Obama needs an illusion here that he doesn\u2019t want more people on welfare, that he wants people having to work for what they get.  Well, nowhere else does Obama portray that.  Nowhere else does Obama act like he cares about that.  In fact, Obama\u2019s very public policy pronouncements, his very public statements on all this, tend to amplify and approve of victimhood and promote welfare.  So why is he upset here?  There\u2019s a new Obama ad that responds to this now. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Listen to this next&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  I\u2019m Barack Obama and I approve this message.<\/p>\n<p>ANNOUNCER:  Seen this? Mitt Romney claiming that the president would end welfare work requirements?  The New York Times calls it &#8220;blatantly false.&#8221;  The Washington Post says, &#8220;The Obama Administration is not removing the bill\u2019s work requirements at all.  In fact, Obama is getting states to move 20% more people from welfare to work.&#8221;  And President Clinton\u2019s reaction to the Romney ad? &#8220;It\u2019s just not true.&#8221;  Get the facts. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay.  So they are clearly bugged by this.  And the caller may be right, that Obama is trying to create an illusion here, and this pierces it.  The Romney ad gives Obama away for who he really is.  And they have been going nuts. As this ad says, &#8220;Romney\u2019s lying about it!  We have not removed the work requirement!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, let\u2019s stick with the Romney welfare, gutting-welfare ad that has the regime is so upset about.  No question Obama is trying to suppress the &#8220;white vote.&#8221;  The white, working, middle class vote. Obama\u2019s trying to suppress that.  We know that they wrote that vote off starting in November of last year.  They knew as early as November of last year they had lost that voting block.  The old Reagan Democrats, essentially. <\/p>\n<p>White, working class Americans. <\/p>\n<p>Now, forget the racial component for a moment.  I think there is one but that\u2019s not what I want to focus on.  That\u2019s not the point.  Now Obama &#8212; since about, I don\u2019t know, a month or two ago &#8212; has been doing everything to suppress that vote.  A lot of Obama\u2019s ads and the PAC ads on television have been designed to suppress that vote by portraying Romney as anathema to them.  Remember now, they\u2019re white, working class (ie, middle class) voters. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=37804\"><img id=\"eZObject_65807\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/00-24_7Self585.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Obama is still counting on the fact that class warfare will work on them. Now, he knows they\u2019re not going to vote for him.  But if he can get them to not vote period, then it doesn\u2019t matter that he\u2019s written them off.  If they\u2019re not going to vote for him, the next task is to make sure they don\u2019t show up for Romney. How do you do that?  Well, you portray Romney as some rich money bags guy who isn\u2019t going to help them. And, not only that, doesn\u2019t even like them! He resents them. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Romney is a snooty rich guy, and all he cares about is his own wealth.  He doesn\u2019t want you to have any.  He\u2019s not going to cut taxes.  He\u2019s not going to do anything for you.  All Romney\u2019s going to do is come up with ways not to pay his own,&#8221; blah, blah, blah.  You know the drill.  In the midst of all this, Obama comes along and relatively quietly guts welfare reform.  Now, why do it now?  You can do this after the election, even if you lose.  But why do it now? <\/p>\n<p>They tried to do it quietly so no one would notice, but that didn\u2019t work. <\/p>\n<p>Now, welfare reform required recipients to either try to get a job or train for one.  In fact, they did.  They had to try to get a job in order to get welfare, and it worked.  It reduced the welfare rolls by 50%.  Now, the one thing that we know is that Obama and the Democrat Party have hated welfare reform from the day Bill Clinton signed it.  The day Bill Clinton signed it in 1996, the Reverend Jackson and a number of others went on TV and told him that they expected him to &#8220;fix&#8221; it. <\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019m not mistaken (I\u2019m not sure of the timing of this), this was a big deal at the \u201996 Democrat convention.  Welfare reform.  They were fit to be tied over this.  They didn\u2019t like it, because they don\u2019t want people to have to work.  The Democrat Party wants slothful people.  They don\u2019t care that that\u2019s their voting base.  They\u2019re very happy about it. The more dependent people, the better.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger government needs to be to take care of these people, however inadequately, the better.  So in the midst of all of this, in the midst of the left-wing of the Democrat Party constantly opposing the work requirements in 1996 &#8212; and they\u2019ve been trying to get rid of them ever since.  Why did Obama do this now?  All it\u2019s done is call attention to it.  And so where he\u2019s in the middle of trying to suppress the votes of the white, working class, here comes Romney with a truthful ad that\u2019s going to whip them back up into a frenzy. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_65809\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaClassWarfareProtestor1.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Whatever success, if any &#8212; and I don\u2019t know. Whatever success Obama has had in angering white working class voters towards Romney where they might just sit out and not vote, now he\u2019s whipped them up into a frenzy.  Because the one thing the white, working class voters don\u2019t like is slothful welfare recipients.  They don\u2019t like slackers.  They don\u2019t like takers.  They don\u2019t like people sitting on the couch, getting a welfare check, watching television, when they know they\u2019re paying for it. <\/p>\n<p>So my question is: If this guy is such a brilliant politician, why would he undermine his own campaign strategy in the middle of the campaign by gutting the work requirements in welfare? Why do it now?  Because it just undermined everything they\u2019re trying to do.  This is why the Romney welfare ad has got them so discombobulated, because they\u2019ve done it to themselves.  Obama has undercut his own strategy. Which again is to so depress or anger the white, working class that they don\u2019t vote.<\/p>\n<p>Now Romney comes back with his ad.  Let\u2019s play it again.  It\u2019s so low key.  This is what has me amazed that the left is so upset about this, such a low key ad.  It\u2019s number five.  It\u2019s chock-full of the truth. <\/p>\n<p>ANNOUNCER: In 1996, President Clinton and a bipartisan Congress helped end welfare as we know it, by requiring work for welfare. But on July 12th, President Obama quietly announced a plan to gut welfare reform by dropping work requirements.  Under Obama\u2019s plan, you wouldn\u2019t have to work and wouldn\u2019t have to train for a job.  They\u2019d just send you your welfare check.  And welfare-to-work goes back to being plain old welfare.  Mitt Romney will restore the work requirement because it works.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That ad is chock-full of truth.  They brought it on themselves. Why do it?  Now if we\u2019re going to assume that they\u2019re the smartest people around &#8212; which a lot of people on our side do, and you may be one of them.  You may think they\u2019re so smart they smoke us all the time.  They\u2019re always two steps ahead of us.  Why undermine what is a major Obama effort, the suppression of the white, working class vote?  Because this ad of Romney\u2019s, the more it\u2019s seen, the more it whips them back up. <\/p>\n<p>So whatever success Obama had in ticking them off and making them think that Romney is rotten to the core so they\u2019re not even going to vote, now he just whipped them up into a frenzy.  Why do it?  Why do it now?  Well, you say his ideology made him do it.  And I think that\u2019s as good an answer as anything.  The Democrats hate the work requirement.  I also think something else. I think they believe that there are gains to be made by doing this.  There are additional votes from the welfare state for Obama by doing this.<\/p>\n<p>They have to have made a calculation. <\/p>\n<p>Yet they\u2019re still fit to be tied over Romney. <\/p>\n<p>They get the New York Times to go out and talk about how this is the lowest of the low, this ad. F. Chuck Todd asks Romney, &#8220;Do you feel like you\u2019re in a race to the bottom?&#8221;  This ad is nothing.  This is not a dirty ad.  This is not a negative ad.  There\u2019s nothing whatsoever offensive about it, except it tells the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Greg in Bass Lake, California, great to have you on the program.
