RUSH: “US housing starts posted their biggest decline in 27 years in February while building permits dropped to their lowest level on record, suggesting the beleaguered real estate sector has yet to rebound.” What\u2019s your first clue, Reuters? Suggesting the beleaguered real estate sector has yet to rebound? See, we\u2019re in the midst of this roaring recovery, but somehow the housing people haven\u2019t figured that out. Now, what happened to all the federal aid for this industry? The mortgage industry, the foreclosure program, what happened? How in the hell can all of this federal assistance have led to this? Better stated is, maybe all this federal assistance did lead to this. <\/p>\n

Now, this news, I guarantee you, housing starts, biggest drop since 1984, this news will be blamed on the problems in the Middle East and the Japan earthquake and the tsunami, nuclear problems. Because the recession\u2019s been over for two years, they keep telling us. So we\u2019ve got golf. We\u2019ve got parties. We got vacation, Rio de Janeiro this weekend. We got NCAA picks. We got meetings with unions. We got golf. We got parties. We got vacations. We got trips to Rio this weekend. We got vacations. We got meeting with unions. It\u2019s a never-ending loop. “Housing Starts See Biggest Drop Since 1984 — Deepest Slump in Modern History.” <\/p>\n

I wonder if David Brooks ever considered this: Because Obama has that perfect crease in his pants, it\u2019s an indication he\u2019s not a hard worker. A leader with a perfect crease in his pants is like a farmer with perfectly smooth hands and no evidence of being in the sun. See, I\u2019m a real guy. If I see a guy with a perfect crease in his pants, I say either he sits in his underwear at his desk and only puts \u2019em on when he\u2019s gonna meet people or he doesn\u2019t work very hard. All I\u2019m telling you is my pants are wrinkled in the first five minutes. Once I\u2019m in the car, it\u2019s over. How about yours, Snerdley? You don\u2019t even wear pants with creases in \u2019em. Never mind. (laughing) Really? Did David Brooks ever think maybe that a perfectly pressed pair of slacks means no work? <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see, what else do we have? Higher prices at the gas pump. I wonder. We got higher food prices. That\u2019s out there now, soaring food prices. And I told you about this, I warned you about this during the Egypt business, and everybody pooh-poohed it. “Wholesale Prices Up 1.6% on Steep Rise in Food.” “Inflation Pressures Build on Surge in Energy and Food,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I wonder if food prices are rising at a pace agreeable with President Obama. They must be, because he\u2019s not concerned with gasoline prices, and gasoline prices are related to food prices. Remember, when gasoline was surging to four dollars a gallon, the president, “I don\u2019t mind that, I\u2019m just unhappy with how fast the price got there.” So I wonder what his opinion is of the rising price in food. Is it happening too fast for Obama? Higher prices at the pump please him, as long as they don\u2019t rise too quickly. Rising gas prices always translate to rising food prices. Palin understands this. She has a piece on it at Facebook today. But the fact is this president wants higher gas prices, which means he wants higher food prices. So he got his NCAA picks done today, got it on ESPN, got rising food prices, rising gasoline prices. President Obama ought to be a happy man today. He got it all.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s just like higher gas prices will make us better people who can serve more, higher prices will making better people because we\u2019ll have to eat less as Martha Stewart said. It\u2019s all good, Moochelle Obama, it\u2019s all good. It\u2019s why brainiacs like David Brooks say the ways of Obama are mysterious to all of us. But they work in the end.<\/p>\n
