RUSH: What did I say in the previous hour? The president\u2019s jobs plan that everybody\u2019s awaiting in September: Just redo the stimulus. Just double it. The first stimulus was so good, it just wasn\u2019t big enough, all those jobs that were created and saved. Just do it again, especially since you know the Republicans won\u2019t go for it. Remember the president\u2019s jobs program — I told you this yesterday — the president\u2019s jobs program is not a jobs program. It is a campaign proposal. Everything the Bamster does from here on out is about reelection. It\u2019s not about substantive economic policy or foreign policy or anything of the sort.<\/p>\n
Now, I know I\u2019m right about this. If the strategery is to not run on the record, \u2019cause they can\u2019t run on the record, but they want to, what they\u2019re gonna do is they\u2019re gonna run on how good the record would have been if it weren\u2019t for all the Republican obstructionism. Now, they\u2019re gonna have to work awfully hard to pull that off because we all know that Barack Obama had supermajorities in the House and Senate for the first two years of his presidency, and we\u2019re only at a little over two and a half years. So for 2009 and 2010, he had 60 votes in the Senate; until Scott Brown was elected, he had supermajority in the House. The Republicans did not have the numbers to stop him on anything. In fact, there wasn\u2019t much Republican obstructionism. The Republicans were scared to death to say anything critical of Obama for the first year. The only obstructionism he got was from conservative media.<\/p>\n
Well, “The Tatler has learned President Obama\u2019s new jobs program might be unveiled right after Labor Day. The White House has gone silent for a long time while unemployment remains above 9% and economic growth slumps to .4%. What could be his new, imaginative idea? Could be Stimulus 2? … Today\u2019s Washington Post is floating a trial balloon from White House aides that report: ‘President Obama has decided to press Congress for a new round of stimulus spending.\u2019 No dollar amounts were mentioned.” There it is, Stimulus 2. I\u2019m gonna tell you right now, minimum trillion dollars. First stimulus on the record is $787 billion, 797, whatever it is. He\u2019ll go for $1.3, 1.4 trillion. And it won\u2019t be with the expectation of getting it.<\/p>\n
He wants the mileage out of opposing it. He wants the mileage out of the Republicans saying “no” to new jobs, “no” to a growing economy, “no” to tax increases on corporate jet owners. That\u2019s what he\u2019s setting up here. We and everybody know it\u2019s coming. Only now, instead of relying on the Republicans in Congress as the primary opponents, it\u2019s going to be the Republican presidential candidates who will be carrying the water, who will be articulating the opposition to this. So while Obama is going to be trying — see, this is the pitfall I think awaiting the regime. While they are going to be running against the Republicans for obstructing his wonderful agenda, the fact is the focus of attention is going to be on the Republican presidential nominee and the Republican presidential nominee, whoever he is, will have had nothing to do with anything Congress did, unless of course the nominee happens to be Paul Ryan. And they\u2019re still floating that out there.<\/p>\n
Folks, in a pure political sense this ought to be a slam dunk to swat away. Here\u2019s a guy with the most publicly, openly seeable, viewable, failed economic record since Jimmy Carter, the most profound public failure as a president in anybody\u2019s lifetime who is alive today, who is going to be running for reelection on how good things would be right now if it weren\u2019t for all the stuff the Republicans did standing in his way, except the Republicans in Congress aren\u2019t gonna be running for president. A different bunch of Republicans are, and none of them have anything to do with whatever the White House is going to be accusing the Republicans of doing in terms of obstructing Obama. This ought to be a piece of cake.<\/p>\n

Folks, this ought to be one of the easiest things for the Republican Party in the history of campaigns to swat away. All the Republican presidential candidates, even before we have a nominee, in the debates, campaign appearances, all they have to say is what I just said, just tell the American people what Obama\u2019s doing, that he doesn\u2019t really expect this stimulus to ever be passed. That\u2019s not why he\u2019s proposed it. Just tell \u2019em, hit \u2019em between the eyes with the truth. The president is not even focusing on jobs with this. The president is not even trying to grow the economy. The president knows he can\u2019t grow the economy with his policies. His policies shrink the economy. What Obama\u2019s trying to do is blame the Republican Party for what he has done. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the message. You tell that to every group you speak to, on every television show you appear. I myself will do it. I, however, myself will not be the nominee. I don\u2019t want to be. But that\u2019s gonna be the message. That simple. Already have it figured out. That is why I feel confident \u2019cause I\u2019ve already got it figured out. I know what they\u2019re gonna spring on us after Labor Day. I\u2019m confident I can take my August recess golf trip in total comfort that I am already prepared for what I\u2019m gonna be faced with when I come back. I already have a strategery to deal with it. And, ladies and gentlemen, as I said in the first hour, the burdens of this office are always with me, whether I\u2019m on the golf course or in the 19th hole or on a massage table. They\u2019re always with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
