RUSH: By the way, Osama Bin Laden is still dead, and the victory lap is still going. There was an NBC infomercial last night with Brian Williams. Obama was walking everybody through the minefield that was the decision to order the strike to send a SEAL team into “Pok-ee-stahn” and to go in there and get Osama Bin Laden. I guess you do have to give Obama credit: He had no choice — and he made it. What would you do if you\u2019re president and the guy is a sitting duck? He\u2019s right there! All he\u2019s got in his hand is a remote control clicker. <\/p>\n
Obama made such a sacrifice that he only played nine holes. He admitted he played golf that day. He came off the course after nine holes to be hustled into the “Sit\u2019chi\u2019ation Room” to sit there and watch this politically risky attack on Osama. Yeah, he admitted it. I told Mike to forget it, but now we may as well hear it. Grab sound bites one and two. This is what I said. This is Monday. Wait a minute. Yeah, I guess it was this Monday. Anyway, I said this recently…<\/p>\n
RUSH ARCHIVE: I wish I could cite my source for you. I can\u2019t. I\u2019m sworn to secrecy. But I\u2019m just gonna tell you: They had to go call the president off the golf course and get him into that Situation Room an hour and a half before the attack so he was there for the photo-op. And if you\u2019ll notice, if you\u2019ve seen the picture of Obama looking with the deer-in-the-headlight eyes at the monitor supposedly of the op taking place, you see a golf shirt under that jacket …<\/p>\n
RUSH: With the top button buttoned. It\u2019s a white golf shirt, and he\u2019s sitting lower in his chair than anybody else in that picture in that room. He\u2019s kinda hunched down and looking at what everybody else is looking at. And the only person in that picture that looks like she has any emotion at all is Hillary. She\u2019s got her hand over her mouth and her eyes wide open, big, like the way she looks when Bill walks in the door at 7 p.m. “What\u2019s he doing here?” So last night on this hour-long NBC infomercial for Obama \u201912, Brian Williams solemnly reports that Obama sacrificed for all of us that day. <\/p>\n
Hit the sound bite!<\/p>\n
WILLIAMS: The president played golf that morning, nine holes, on the grounds of nearby Andrews Air Force Base. Back at the White House at two p.m., he headed downstairs to join the others in the Situation Room.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I told you. I told you he played golf that day. But the great sacrifice is he only played nine holes. And I\u2019ll tell you why he only played nine holes: \u2019cause they sent somebody out there to get him, because Admiral McRaven called. We mentioned the guy\u2019s name earlier this week. This is already Thursday. Do you believe that? On the Huckabee show it\u2019s still Monday, but here it\u2019s… (chuckling) Sorry, folks. Last night I got too much sleep. (laughing) <\/p>\n
What do you…? You ought to see \u2019em on the other side of the glass. They can\u2019t believe it. So, anyway, they dragged him off the golf course after nine holes. He gets in there at two o\u2019clock in the afternoon. So I told you my source was irrefutable, and I still can\u2019t tell you who the source was. But it\u2019s nobody in the regime. It\u2019s nobody in the regime whatsoever. There\u2019s Brian Williams — and here, play sound bite three. You know, I just told Mike to forget this stuff, that I don\u2019t care about it, and look at me. Here, play sound bite three.<\/p>\n
WILLIAMS: (solemnly whispering) If this had (dramatic pause) failed in spectacular fashion —<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaTroops.jpg\"\/)
WILLIAMS: — it would have blown up your presidency. I think, by all estimates, it would have been your Waterloo, and perhaps your Watergate — eh, consumed with hearings and inquiries. How thick did the specter of Jimmy Carter, Desert One, hang in the air here?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, come on! Does anybody think there would have been hearings? Okay, so you order the mission and if the mission fails there are hearings? My gosh! We haven\u2019t had hearings on Fast and Furious. We haven\u2019t had hearings on Solyndra. Well, we have, but they\u2019ve largely just been ceremonial. Here\u2019s how, by the way, The One answered the question of how risky and how potentially politically fatal this order could have been.<\/p>\n
OBAMA: (haltingly) Certainly we thought about the fact that if there was a failure here, it would have disastrous consequences, uhh, for me politically. We knew the examples of the, uh, Carter presidency and we understood what happened there. But I tell you, the only thing that I was thinkin\u2019 about throughout this entire enterprise was, “I really want to get those guys back home safe.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ll tell you what this is, folks. This is what I talked about last week. This is the power of the presidency in an election year. This is the stuff that Obama can do as president that no candidate can do: Get on an airplane, hop over to Afghanistan, and have a week-long celebration of something that happened a year ago: the death of Osama Bin Laden. Then get a network to give you a full hour campaign appearance, essentially, rehashing what you did, making you brave and courageous and all these other things. This is just the power of the incumbency. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s so much that Obama can do, such as forgiving student loans the night before the election, or forgiving underwater mortgages two days before the election. <\/p>\n
He can do that (or he can say he wants to do it) and all Romney can do is suck his thumb. Any challenger, that\u2019s all he could do. It\u2019s one of the things that you should be prepared for. And don\u2019t think Obama doesn\u2019t want a second term. He does, and he\u2019s gonna use every bit of this power at his disposal. Now, the show that all this happened on was Rock Center. And last night, after the news came, Brian Williams was interviewing The One. No! He\u2019s interviewing Hillary. I take it back. Now it\u2019s Hillary\u2019s turn to cash in here. And Williams says, “After the news came that Bin Laden was killed and you\u2019re all there in the Situation Room…”<\/p>\n
Brian Williams and Secretary Clinton had this exchange…<\/p>\n
WILLIAMS: You have to start calling presidents — Domestic! Foreign! Committee chairs! Cabinet members! — all the people you wouldn\u2019t want to read about it in the paper —<\/p>\n
HILLARY: Right.<\/p>\n
WILLIAMS: — the next day.<\/p>\n
HILLARY: The president called former presidents, uh, [he] asked me where to find my husband. (cackle)<\/p>\n
WILLIAMS: Really?<\/p>\n
HILLARY: Bill didn\u2019t know anything. I hadn\u2019t talked to anybody about it, so the first he heard was when President Obama called him.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Did she know where he was? I mean, that\u2019s all I care about in that sound bite: “The president called to ask me where my husband was.” Williams says, “Really?” “Yeah, yeah. Bill didn\u2019t know anything.” Ha! Well, given where he probably was, how could he? But she didn\u2019t know where… (laughing) That\u2019s why I say: He walks in at seven o\u2019clock at night in their home in Chappaqua or wherever they live now, and that\u2019s the look on her face: Hand over the mouth, eyes wide open. “My gosh, I\u2019ve not seen this before!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
