<\/p>\nRUSH: So the media is telling us it\u2019s been a bad week for President Obama. I\u2019d rather look at it through a different prism. It has been not just a bad week, it has been a bad three-and-a-half years. Not for Obama, but for us. Every week is a bad week for America, with Barack Hussein Kardashian in the White House. Every year is a bad year for us. It has been a bad three-and-a-half years. And as much, ladies and gentlemen, as I am dedicated to the educational and informative task of teaching people about the destructive nature of liberalism and its latest vehicle, Barack Hussein Kardashian — and by the way, you know, that\u2019s popping up everywhere. It was in a Breitbart headline the other day, last night on the Breitbart website. I\u2019m sure there\u2019s a whole Barack Hussein Kardashian website now. That\u2019s why I\u2019m show prep for the rest of the media. It\u2019s all over the place out there now. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But, see, when it comes to America, I am not Obama-centric. We were better off before Obama and we\u2019ll be better off after Obama. See, to me, and particularly if you are one of the millions of new listeners to the program, the country is what matters. The people who make this country work are who matter to me. I grow weary, I laugh at it, but I still grow weary, every day multiple media stories, “How will this impact Obama? How will this affect the Obama campaign? What does this mean for Obama\u2019s reelect campaign?” To hell with that. What does it mean for the country? That\u2019s our concern here. What does it mean for the people who make this country work? That\u2019s our concern here. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a bad week for Obama. I\u2019m sorry, that offends me. Boohoo. A bad week for Obama is a worse week for us. What is a bad week for the guy? He\u2019s flying on Air Force One as often as he wants from party to party, from celebrity to celebrity. And when he gets off that plane, he asks for money, he asks for praise, he asks for adoration. He asks for those that he has hurt the most to have his back. What a bad week for Obama? Oh, you didn\u2019t hear this? It\u2019s a new ad for Obama. We had it yesterday. Here, listen to it again. <\/p>\n
(playing of Obama ad) <\/p>\n
RUSH: We\u2019ve got yo\u2019 back. We\u2019ve got the president\u2019s back. What is unemployment in the black community? Thirteen-point-six percent. What is unemployment with black youth? Fifty some odd percent. And yet here they are running ads for these people to have Obama\u2019s back? What about Obama having their back? What about Obama having our back? Oh, it\u2019s such a horrible week for Barack Obama. By the way, you should try this. A Google search of Obama and Kardashian returns 71,400,000 hits. Ha-ha-ha. A little throwaway line off the top of my head on this program a couple weeks ago and look how it has now rooted itself in the American pop culture and even in certain parts of the political culture. <\/p>\n
So 13.6% unemployment in the black community, and Obama\u2019s running commercials asking black people for his back. Bad week for Obama, party to party, celebrity to celebrity. Asking for money, asking for praise, asking for those he\u2019s hurt the most to have his back. We have the first community organizer to occupy the Oval Office actively working to keep illegal voters voting in Florida. The state of Florida is trying to purge illegals and people illegally registered from the voting rolls, and the Justice Department, the Kardashian Justice Department with Eric Holder, is suing the state of Florida. Let a Republican president try anything like this, and you\u2019ve got a nuclear explosion in the media. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I\u2019m gonna tell you what\u2019s happening. The media doesn\u2019t report this stuff and they think as a result nobody knows about it. They continue to live in a state of denial, that there is an alternative media that is just as penetrating. They can pretend that by not covering a story, the story doesn\u2019t happen. They can pretend by not covering a story, or not condemning an action, that nobody hears about it. But people are fully aware of all of this, of the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia and the Justice Department declining prosecution, as was said because we\u2019re not going after black defendants. <\/p>\n
Here we have a president who sued the state of Arizona to stop the state of Arizona from enforcing laws that protect their citizens. They simply created a law in Arizona that mirrors the federal law that Obama will not enforce, and he sues them. He gives billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars to supporters of his in a losing industry, green energy, so he can use that as an excuse to pick on a winning industry, fossil fuel producers. He\u2019s doing everything he can to limit oil production, discovery, and expansion. Bad week for Obama? Oh, my heart bleeds. <\/p>\n
Every day, we\u2019ve had two in a row from the Washington Post. Democrats are worried. How\u2019s all this affecting Obama? You know, most of the country, Mr. Milbank and Ms. Tumulty, most of the country is not asking with wringing hands and deep concern, “Oh, my gosh, how is this news affecting our wonderful president?” They\u2019re asking themselves, “When the hell is somebody gonna do something to change the direction this country\u2019s economy is going?” They\u2019re not worried about the impact all this stuff is having on Obama. They see him having the life of a party. He\u2019s bragging about it. Television commercials, dinner with Anna Wintour and Sarah Jessica Parker. Then George Clooney. Now they\u2019re gonna do it again. Obama flying all over the place. Moochelle flying all over. Vacation after vacation after vacation, Martha\u2019s Vineyard, Las Vegas, Spain. <\/p>\n
Poor Obama had a bad week? On his worst week, President Kardashian has had it better than the richest man on the planet in recorded and unrecorded history. I\u2019m growing weary hearing about Barack Obama having a bad week. The people who make this country work are suffering every day he\u2019s in office. And we have to hear about a bad week that Obama had? Really, it is so out of proportion. It\u2019s insulting. You know, the scary thing to contemplate is, what would a good week for Obama be? What would it take for the media to report that he had a good week? Let that scare you, because it should. A bad week for Obama is having to sit next to a movie star that he doesn\u2019t particularly like. <\/p>\n
Nixon was hounded out of office 40 years ago for a second-rate burglary that even to this day nobody can figure out. We have got Watergate type scandals in three different spots in this administration, and what\u2019s the media writing about? Forty-year-old Watergate. I\u2019ll never forget, folks, my dad. Oh, you would have loved if my dad were alive, get him on the phone, I\u2019d say, “Hey, what\u2019s going on?” and shut up for a half hour. During Watergate Cronkite was still doing the news. At the end he would turn off TV, look at me, and he would scream, “What the hell did he do? What did he do?” People are still asking, what really happened? <\/p>\n
Nobody can figure out what Watergate really was. We know it was a burglary at the Democrat National Committee, but beyond that, we still don\u2019t know what Nixon really did or didn\u2019t do and what the purpose of this was, and how it — (interruption) Yeah, yeah, Nixon covered it up. Trying to protect his boys. Liddy, E. Howard Hunt. Folks, don\u2019t misunderstand me now. I\u2019m not saying nothing happened, but a sense of proportion is needed here. For crying out loud, we have a regime which ignores federal judges on drilling moratoriums. We have a regime that is running an open money laundering operation with union dues. We have an administration that is knowingly bankrolling losing industries, crony capitalism out the wazoo. <\/p>\n

And you know what Felt was ticked off about?<\/p>\n
He wanted the FBI director gig, and L. Patrick Gray got it, one of Nixon\u2019s buddies. And what Felt was trying to do was get even with Nixon (which he did). Meanwhile, Woodward and Bernstein, everything Deep Throat told \u2019em they bought hook, line, and sinker. They didn\u2019t question it. In the end, this guy… At any rate, you look at Eric Holder and the Fast and Furious? For crying out loud, nobody died in Watergate! A federal agent died in Fast and Furious. We had Holder taunting members of the Senate yesterday: “I\u2019m gonna stick to my guns.”<\/p>\n
Yes, “I\u2019m sticking to my guns,” Holder said.<\/p>\n
Somebody said to me, “Well, talk about insensitivity.”<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not insensitivity.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s goading \u2019em.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s got a sense of entitlement like Obama does. “Nobody can touch me. Nobody can stop me!” It\u2019s a statist dictatorship mentality that exists here. Lanny Davis said there are “some really vicious people” working for Obama. Don\u2019t tell me about Obama having a bad week, because I have no sympathy for Obama and his tough week. My concern is for the country and you and everybody who makes this country work. Our Justice Department\u2019s more corrupt than anything this country\u2019s seen in a long time.<\/p>\n
We have never been so far in debt with no plan to get out. Wages haven\u2019t budged in four years. The average wage? What is the increase? It\u2019s 10\u00c2\u00a2! The hourly wage is up 10\u00c2\u00a2. Job creators have been demonized. Votes in Congress have been bought. The pharmaceutical industry was bought off. The public sector unions were bought off. And the State-Controlled Media has encouraged all of this. And we\u2019re told that eight-plus percent unemployment is the new normal.<\/p>\n
The bottom line is, Barack Hussein Kardashian does not have bad weeks; we do!<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Let\u2019s take a look some more statistics. A story from The Politico: “Election Angst: Wages Have Barely Budged Since \u201908.” Hourly wages have increased ten cents a year under President Kardashian. I know some of you might be saying, “But Rush, but Rush, what about the minimum wage?” Not a factor here. That should tell you something. The minimum wage is an arbitrary number that\u2019s not related to anything. The minimum wage has no relationship to economic activity whatsoever. All the minimum wage does is lose jobs. All the minimum wage does is guarantee that young people are gonna have restricted entry-level job opportunities. That\u2019s all it does. <\/p>\n
Well, now, I take that back. The minimum wage actually is a great PR move for the left, the way it\u2019s covered by the media, minimum wage, ten dollars an hour, everybody thinks, wow, at least that\u2019s what everybody\u2019s making. They don\u2019t stop to report the truth about it. So talking about it, promoting it, seeking increases in it, is a PR victory for Democrats, but in reality, the minimum wage harms the economy and entry-level workers. So in each year since President Kardashian was immaculated, hourly wages have increased ten cents. When President Bush left office, gasoline was a buck eighty-five a gallon. Today, the average price for a gallon of unleaded, the closest I get is $3.54. If you add to that that wages haven\u2019t budged since Obama was immaculated, we have disposable income for millions of Americans going backwards. And, believe me, they are paying attention. <\/p>\n
They\u2019re not gonna wait until August or September to start paying attention. They\u2019re paying attention now because they can\u2019t avoid it. It\u2019s their life. “Adjusted for inflation, the average hourly wage has gone up just 42 cents over the past four years to $23.41, according to Labor Department figures. High unemployment explains some of this, but salaries have stayed disturbingly flat, economists say. ‘It\u00c2\u2019s unprecedented how modest the wage gains have been over this recovery,\u2019 said Sherry Cooper, chief economist and executive vice president at the BMO Financial Group. ‘It\u00c2\u2019s painful for consumers and detrimental for labor.'”<\/p>\n

<\/a>“Unprecedented how modest the wage gains have been over this recovery.” Has anybody stopped to think that maybe it really hasn\u2019t been a recovery? Anybody stop to consider that we may still be in a recession, for all practical purposes? Obama here has created a twofer, a jobless recovery and a wageless recovery. And yet they tell us, it\u2019s a recovery. And yet every news story is looked at through this prism, “Oh, no, how will this affect Obama?” You see, folks, I thought green energy companies were gonna create millions of high-paying jobs of the future. That\u2019s what the president told us. What happened? He keeps saying that we\u2019re not going back to pro-growth policies. He says we tried that approach. We tried that approach for 210 years, it didn\u2019t work. It\u2019s never worked. <\/p>\n
