RUSH: Hey, have you seen the jobless numbers, folks? I mean it\u2019s good news from the Labor Department. New claims for unemployment benefits are way down. That\u2019s the good news. All this good news. I don\u2019t have room for it. I\u2019m running out of room for more rays of sunshine to be packed up my butt as this regime continues to tell us how great things are doing out there. I got no more room for the good news. <\/p>\nHow you doing, my friends? El Rushbo. I woke up thinking it was Friday all day today, this somehow feels like — even though it\u2019s not. Don\u2019t worry, Snerdley, don\u2019t have to do Open Line Friday screening today, not until tomorrow. Great to be with you, my friends. Here\u2019s our telephone number if you want to be on the program as we do show prep for the rest of the media which follows it. Telephone number, 800-282-2882 and the e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com. <\/p>\nI\u2019m right most of the time. But when I\u2019m right, I\u2019m really right, and, boy, was I right yesterday. I mean, I nailed it.<\/a> Normally with a prediction or a warning of what was to come, as I did yesterday, sometimes takes weeks or months for me to be borne out. It took a day yesterday in describing for all of you what the Obama campaign for 2012 would be. Do you remember, Snerdley? <\/p>\nHere\u2019s the essence of the campaign. This economy was worse than we knew when we were immaculated. They had not leveled with us about just how deep this recession was. We\u2019ve put policies into place to reverse all of the bad economic news. And, frankly, it took longer than we thought for our policies to start to have any impact because it was so much worse than we even knew. And now it\u2019s just starting to pay off. It\u2019s gonna be much longer than we even thought, even though our policies are now starting to have a net positive impact, it\u2019s gonna be years, folks. I hate to be honest with you, but it\u2019s gonna be years and years, and the worst thing we could do would be to change horses in the middle of the stream now just as we can finally see those rays of sunshine shining their countenance upon the US economy. The worst thing we could do would be to turn all of this over to the people who drove us in the ditch in the first place, the Republicans, the worst thing we could do. ‘Cause they will tear down everything that we have put in place that now, after three long years, are starting to finally show, or come to fruition. <\/p>\nI take you to this morning. We start with audio sound bite number five. This is the CBS Early Show. They held a town hall on the economy today with Obama. The cohost Erica Hill said, “For the past four years, Mr. President, it seems that we have been hearing, whether it\u2019s on TV, at the office, around the kitchen table, that things are tough, and there is some improvement. There\u2019s positive economic data coming out.” Folks, when I nail it, do I nail it? “Yet sometimes, Mr. President, it can feel like for every two steps forward, we take one step back. There\u2019s definitely a psychological component to this recovery. How do we change the mind-set from things are tough to things are turning around?” <\/p>\nMy friends, you know me, I\u2019ve told you. I\u2019m used to being right so often it normally isn\u2019t that big a deal. But this, even I got tingles up my left leg. Even I got a tickling in my spine. And it\u2019s actually good. Being right as I am so often becomes habitual, I take it for granted. So I\u2019m actually thrilled that I am so excited about having been so right. I mean less than 24 hours and they bear me out. So here is Obama\u2019s answer to that question.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: In the few months after I took office we lost another four million jobs, so this was the worst recession since the Great Depression, and I think understandably people still feel pretty bruised and battered from that recession. You\u2019re seeing improvement all across the country, but you\u2019re absolutely right that people still aren\u2019t feeling it. Now, part of that is the fact that the unemployment rate is still high, and we\u2019ve got a lot more work to do.<\/p>\nRUSH: That\u2019s right. We got a lot more work to do. It\u2019s just now starting. They\u2019re seeing it but not feeling it is an attempt to tell them that the gas price really isn\u2019t what they\u2019re paying for it. This is a lame attempt to tell \u2019em that food doesn\u2019t really cost what it\u2019s costing them, it\u2019s not gonna cost that much if you just stick with us. But you see, it\u2019s all starting here. We have here the nuts and bolts of the campaign. After I, El Rushbo, who will not be paid a red cent for this advice, well, I can\u2019t really say they\u2019re using what I said \u2019cause they were gonna do it on their own. I called it. <\/p>\nAnd then there\u2019s this accompanying story from Reuters: “Obama Tells Companies to ‘Step Up\u2019 and Hire Workers.” It\u2019s later in this story that you find the element of what I predicted yesterday would be the focal point of their campaign. “President Obama urged businesses to ‘step up\u2019 and hire workers, pressing banks and other corporations to do more to help an economy that he said would take ‘several years\u2019 to recover fully.” My friends, grand slam. This is the Joe DiMaggio hitting streak here. “In a town-hall style meeting conducted by CBS News on Wednesday, Obama said the weak housing market and high gasoline prices were the biggest ‘headwinds\u2019 dragging on the economy. ‘We\u2019ve got a lot more work to do to get businesses to invest and to hire,\u2019 he told the audience in remarks broadcast on Thursday. ‘It\u2019s going to take us several years for us to get back where we need to be.'” And, of course, the next logical stop is for the president to say it would be a terrible mistake to change horses in the middle of the stream now. Look at what the Republicans want to do to every program we put in place that\u2019s starting to show and come to fruition. That\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna say. They have laid the groundwork for it. And in anticipating some questions from some of you doubters, I had no advance knowledge that this was going to happen. <\/p>\nNow, let\u2019s go to back to the top and tackle what Reuters claims the main part of this story, “Obama Tells Companies to ‘Step Up\u2019 and Hire Workers.” Urged businesses to step up and hire workers, pressing banks and other corporations to do more to help. Well, yeah, that\u2019s so simple, why didn\u2019t I think of that? Hey, hey, Deutsche Bank, hire people! Hey, hey, Goldman Sachs, hire people! Why didn\u2019t I think of that? See how easy it is? You just tell people to hire other people, that\u2019s how easy it is. Obama doesn\u2019t care. He doesn\u2019t know that this just doesn\u2019t happen this way. The value of this is not what happens after this. It\u2019s simply Obama at a town meeting pointing fingers of blame, “Start hiring people.” And the dummkopfs they arranged to show be in the town hall audience go, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, start hiring, yeah, president\u2019s right, start hiring, yeah, that\u2019s the problem, not hiring anybody,” without understanding the machinations of economics at all.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sometimes I get frustrated. Of course there\u2019s an answer and a response to the Obama campaign! I was just checking the e-mail. “So are you saying it\u2019s over, Rush? There\u2019s no way we can combat what he\u2019s gonna do?” Of course there\u2019s an answer to it! Look, identifying what it\u2019s gonna be this early on and being dead right on about it is the perfect opportunity here to come up with a way to nuke it — and let me tell you what the perfect way to nuke it is. Okay, the Obama campaign is, “My God, my God, it\u2019s worse than we knew! We had no idea; Bush didn\u2019t tell us. We inherited a mess that was even bigger than we knew.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s gonna take our policies longer than we thought but they\u2019re starting to come to fruition, starting to show some signs of progress. It\u2019d be a horrible mistake to change horses in the middle of the stream,” and you can hear it. They\u2019ve already trotted this out as step one at this town hall meeting today. So let me see if I understand, here: Obama was in the Senate for all of those things that led to the economy being worse than he knew that it was. He was voting for more spending. He was voting for higher taxes. Pelosi was Speaker, Dingy Harry was the majority leader, and what? Poor old Obama, all 159 days he spent in the Senate, was clueless?<\/p>\n

He had no idea how horrible things really were? He just one day stepped into the Oval Orifice, saw everything was worse than he thought, after two years of controlling all of Washington at the House and the Senate — and now nothing that he\u2019s done has worked (because none of it was supposed to work), and now he says I had no idea it was this bad before I got here. He sat in church for 20 years or Reverend Wright\u2019s church, didn\u2019t hear what he said. So he\u2019s in the United States Senate — and he\u2019s ragging on Bush, and he\u2019s ragging on the economy, and he\u2019s ragging on how bad it is — and now he\u2019s trying to tell, “We had no idea it was this bad!”<\/p>\n

But the answer to it in the campaign was, he never had any intention to fix this. His idea was not to fix this. Nothing he\u2019s done has worked because none of it was supposed to work — and I know there are people on our side still don\u2019t want to get their arms around that. They still don\u2019t want to accept that a president has been elected with that mind-set. So policies that were not intended to fix the problems are not fixing the problem, and now he had no idea it was that bad. (interruption) No, I don\u2019t think this is a formidable campaign. I think it\u2019s weak. Is that the best he can do? <\/p>\n

Is it the best lie they can come up with, that he was a clueless senator and now he\u2019s a clueless president? Is that the argument for reelecting him? It is. It is! I guarantee you it is. The “don\u2019t change horses in the middle of the stream” is what they\u2019re planning on, \u2019cause only now they\u2019re gonna say there are signs of progress. But Barack Obama wanted to exploit our problems, not fix them. He had noooo desire whatsoever to fix them. Now, he was elected to the US Senate 2004. Where\u2019s he been for the last seven years? How can anything surprise him? How can anything be worse than what he thought it was? It can\u2019t be.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just like he never knew what Reverend Wright was saying, but that “poet,” that “rapper,” Common? Common, yeah, he knew everything. He was singularly inspired by Reverend Wright. This line of argument? No, it\u2019s far from being formidable, don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m not suggesting that there\u2019s no way to beat this, folks, it\u2019s simple. This line of argument is proof that we should not elect neophytes to the Oval Office.<\/p>\n
