RUSH: So we have the new French socialist, Monsieur Hollande, and this guy hates the rich. This guy despises the rich. This guy has promised tax increases on the rich and to hell with austerity. We\u2019re not cutting spending. We\u2019re raising taxes and we\u2019re gonna spend and spend and that\u2019s what got him elected. The Obama regime is privately very happy, but they\u2019re also very concerned. They don\u2019t want this guy to implement any of this stuff yet. Have you heard this? Because it\u2019s gonna destroy the French economy, and they don\u2019t want that to happen before the election. They want this guy to wait until after November to destroy the French economy so that it won\u2019t hurt Obama. I\u2019m not making it up. <\/p>\n
Look, I know I\u2019m a naturally funny person and you\u2019re laughing. I mean, it\u2019s sadly funny, I can\u2019t deny. But, folks, this new lunatic in France — by the way, there isn\u2019t any austerity. Can somebody point out to me the austerity in the European Union? Where is this cutting and spending? It isn\u2019t happening. There is no austerity. All these guys, like Monsieur Hollande, run for office opposed to all the austerity, the spending cuts, and there aren\u2019t any spending cuts. There\u2019s lots of talk of spending cuts. There haven\u2019t been any spending cuts in the European Union. Greece hasn\u2019t cut any spending. They\u2019re being bailed out, for crying out loud. What does that mean? The spending continues. Spain hasn\u2019t cut any spending. And, by the way, don\u2019t forget, cuts in liberalism are actually increases that are smaller than what was hoped for. <\/p>\n
So while all this talk of austerity\u2019s going on, actual spending is being increased. But here\u2019s Obama, who\u2019s running for reelection taxing the rich, increasing spending, more stimulus, telling the new French president, “Don\u2019t do it. It will destroy the world economy.” Well, if the French president doing it will destroy the world economy, why will us doing it not destroy the world economy? If raising taxes and increasing spending is a cause for alarm in the Obama regime, then why is it their agenda? Why? After the election the French president is free to do all the economic destruction he wants. But not before the election. The New York Times has come out and actually admitted that Hollande\u2019s socialist policies are closely aligned with Obama\u2019s. We all know it, but then the House organ of the regime says the same thing. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve got a sound bite. I don\u2019t have it in front of me, but John Podesta, former chief of staff for Clinton and now runs the Center for American Progress, he\u2019s the chairman, said, “Yeah, Obama\u2019s a socialist.” They\u2019re admitting it now. Obama\u2019s a socialist. I find this fascinating. Literal panic. Don\u2019t do it, Monsieur Hollande. Raising taxes, increasing spending will harm the world economy. Yet that\u2019s what his agenda is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
