Whether Obama knows it or not, this is a reality Obama cannot escape.  I am always gonna bet on my country instead of betting on somebody who doesn\u2019t like it, who wants to shut it down.  And I hate to say it\u2019s Obama, but there\u2019s no doubt, and there can be no doubt, Obama is running for reelection against capitalism.<\/p>\n<p>There are people who say, in the energy business, that we\u2019re going to be the Saudi Arabia of energy, and I think they underestimate the profundity of this reality.  We\u2019re gonna have an oil boom. We\u2019re gonna have a gas boom.  Fracking is going to lead the way.  We have more oil that is retrievable than is beneath the ground in Saudi Arabia.  And this country has people that are gonna go get it.  We\u2019re in the process of getting it now.  In North Dakota there is a boom.  Obama may try to shut this down.  The left may try to shut this down.  The left is not gonna succeed.  The entrepreneurs, the producers are going to triumph at some point over whatever obstacles are thrown in their way.  It\u2019s always been the story of this country.  It\u2019s always been the unique story.  It\u2019s always been the history of this country, and it\u2019s going to happen. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_62794\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushOilFracking.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And when it happens, it\u2019s gonna be an energy boom, and an energy boom is gonna lead to a jobs boom, and that\u2019s gonna lead to a real estate boom, and that\u2019s gonna lead to a travel boom.  In short, it\u2019s gonna lead to an everything boom.  Now, that\u2019s great news for us.  It\u2019s not great news for Obama.  This stuff is going to happen despite him.  It may not happen \u2019til he\u2019s gone. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna happen in 2012.  I mean I sit here and tell you that I think we\u2019re looking at a potential landslide and I mean that, but anything between now and then can change.  So I\u2019m not predicting it. Just telling you my gut today, and I think if more people would be honest with you, they would tell you the same thing. <\/p>\n<p>Now, not the people who analyze this state by state, looking at polling state by state, then construct their electoral vote map.  They\u2019re not gonna ever tell you that.  But I don\u2019t look at that.  That\u2019s not the gut.  That is polling data, and that\u2019s standard political formula, and I don\u2019t know about standard political formula.  I don\u2019t want to be involved in standard political formula.  What I know is the people of this country.  It is the people of this country for whom I have empathy.  And I see it now, the anger, the frustration, and the energy that is building to overcome the obstacle that is Barack Obama and the modern-day Democrat Party.  And I don\u2019t know when it\u2019s gonna happen, but it will happen.  These obstacles will be overcome.  The greatness of this country will triumph once again.  It is going to happen.  And when it does, the real history of these years of Obama will be written as abject failure and disaster. <\/p>\n<p>I am here to tell you that no matter what happens in 2012, Barack Obama is going to be looked back on, not for everything he did to encourage America\u2019s greatness in rebound,  Obama is going to be looked back on for everything he did to discourage it.  Obama has delayed, impeded, blocked, and said &#8220;no&#8221; to virtually every carbon energy project from drilling in the Gulf to exploration on federal lands, to pipelines, to ANWR, to delaying hydraulic fracking.  To every bit of progress in the carbon-based energy world, Barack Obama is a giant roadblock.  He\u2019s delayed, impeded, blocked, and said &#8220;no&#8221; to everything.  He has said &#8220;no&#8221; to American progress.  He has said &#8220;no&#8221; to a jobs boom.  He has said &#8220;no&#8221; to getting rid of dependence on foreign sources of energy. <\/p>\n<p>And as we sit here today in the Memorial Day weekend, I\u2019m here to tell you, May 25th of 2012, history is going to look back on this period and this president with wonder.  People in the future are gonna look back at this time and they\u2019re going to ask, &#8220;How did it happen?&#8221;  What was going on that made the American people make this near-fatal decision, electing Barack Obama?  They\u2019re going to ask, did he really think he could hold back the tide of American ingenuity?  Did Barack Obama really believe that he could be the Berlin Wall to US energy independence?  Did Barack Obama really believe he could hold back the tide of American ingenuity, entrepreneurism, and greatness?  Or was he just playing politics?  Now, the sooner this happens, the better, obviously, but it is going to happen, of that I have no doubt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Whether it\u2019s during the next 10 years or 20 years, we, the United States, are going to be the world\u2019s leading supplier of carbon-based energy.
