RUSH: I know it makes people nervous when I say, “If the election were today, Obama would lose.” Well, it makes some people nervous because they tell me so. “Rush, too much can happen here, as you say, way too soon here to be so confident of the outcome.” Well, I\u2019m not confident of the outcome 18 months from now, but if it were today, I\u2019m telling you the guy doesn\u2019t have a prayer, folks. And now the new economic news, they\u2019re probably celebrating in the White House: “US Consumer Sentiment Worsens on Economic Jitters.” And the media\u2019s blaming Europe for this. The IMF is saying, “You know, you guys better get your budget deficit in order.” That\u2019s just a call to raise the debt limit. But there isn\u2019t any inspiring economic news out there except for a new tea that\u2019s been released on the market this week. There\u2019s no good uplifting news on the unemployment front or any of this. There\u2019s nothing whatsoever that\u2019s happening in the country.<\/p>\n

There is one caveat, and my brother David wrote his latest column on this. You and I as conservatives, we sit here and we look at the data and examine the status quo of the moment, and we apply our natural conservatism to the news and the events, and we say to ourselves that there\u2019s no way the American people can support this, but the caveat is — and it\u2019s an open question — how far along the line are we that a lot of Americans view the primary purpose of the federal government is to equalize outcomes in life, not opportunity, but to equalize outcomes? How many times will we take a call from a liberal on this program and you think, “My God, how can somebody think this?” Somebody who\u2019s got vitriol for the rich, upset that a CEO is making all of this money and eagerly wanting to do whatever to punish people who are doing better than they are. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all grown up with the belief that capitalism is the primary reason for the greatest economic story in human history, United States of America. Some people say it\u2019s ancient history, but there are more and more people — this is the caveat — more and more people think that capitalism is inherently flawed and immoral and are willing to let the United States lose superpower status in all areas because they got a chip on their shoulder and they think the US deserves a comeuppance. We know we\u2019ve got somebody in the White House that thinks that. So for those of us who believe in the traditions and the institutions and the historical evidence of the founding of the country, there\u2019s a percentage of our population, as you well know, that thinks the purpose of the government\u2019s to get even with some people and basically redistribute income, to equalize outcomes, regardless what it means for the country, regardless what it means for the future and this. That\u2019s the lone caveat when this election comes up \u2019cause Obama, of course, stands just for that. <\/p>\n

There are a lot of people who would just assume government redistribute, get even with the achievers, spread the spoils around, theoretically. Of course it never works, but they would rather have that than work themselves, rather than utilize their ambition and their talents and so forth, for whatever reason they don\u2019t think they have any. So that does remain the lone caveat to this slam-dunk otherwise, if the election were held today, that Obama doesn\u2019t have a prayer. “According to a Gallup poll released on Thursday, President Barack Obama would fall to an unnamed Republican candidate by a narrow margin if the election were held today.” That\u2019s the generic ballot. <\/p>\n

“Although 44 percent of respondents said they would vote for a Republican candidate when asked whom they would support in the 2012 election, only 39 percent of participants said they would vote for Obama. Eighteen percent of respondents said they had no opinion. The poll was based on telephone interviews conducted with 914 registered voters between June 9 and June 12. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percent. While the Gallup report notes that the Republican Party\u2019s lead is statistically insignificant, the numbers suggest that the race is close.” Of course it\u2019s close! “Recent surveys have shown that Obama usually fares well in a head-to-head matchup against the current Republican candidates.” So this is a generic, and this is Gallup, but it\u2019s a one- or two-point differential. So maybe what we need to do is nominate a Republican and have him go down to the birth certificate office and say, “Okay, I\u2019m changing my name to nothing. I\u2019m gonna get the nomination. Can\u2019t be a name on the ballot and just says Republican there, or change my name to generic.” <\/p>\n

<\/a>“Though a Gallup poll released on Sunday reported that 67 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents were satisfied with the field,” there is continuing sentiment here that the field is weak. And I just disagree with that in many ways, as we\u2019ve discussed earlier in the week. Now, if Obama loses to a generic Republican, a generic Republican — this is the way I look at it — imagine how he would be clobbered by a brand-name conservative. This story, “Generic Republican Beats Obama,” barely. Okay, depending on where you are, at the RNC or other hierarchy at Republican command and control, they might interpret that, “Okay, let\u2019s soft pedal who we are. Let\u2019s not rock the boat. Let\u2019s be kind of Milquetoast.” That\u2019s the way to win. No. If a generic unnamed Republican beats Obama in the Gallup poll, imagine how he would be clobbered — this is what we all know — be clobbered by a brand-name conservative. <\/p>\n

Now, you notice here that Gallup says Obama\u2019s reelection prospects were not even improved back in May by the Osama bounce. Gallup warns that all bets are off if the economy improves. Now, luckily for the Republicans there\u2019s little chance that Obama will do anything to improve the economy, and it\u2019s an open question how much significant improvement can there be in the economy between now and the election. Now, that\u2019s not the question. The question is, how big an illusion of a roaring economy can be created by the media that would be believed. Well, we think it\u2019s impossible because gasoline prices are what they are and food prices are what they are and home prices are what they are, so Americans are living their lives, here comes the media, “Hey, the economy\u2019s coming back, babes, we are roaring,” and the American people say, “Wait.”<\/p>\n

Snerdley, it has happened. People who are encountering no economic pain whatsoever believe we were in a recession \u2019cause they were told that it was bad out there. It was good for them and they even felt guilty about it because they thought their neighbors were hurting \u2019cause the media told \u2019em so. I know people are feeling the pain themselves but if they think that others who were feeling the pain no longer are they could be made to believe that a recovery is taking place. Again, all bets are off. <\/p>\n

John Harwood was on CNBC\u2019s Squawk on the Street today, a segment called The Harwood File. Simon Hobbs the cohost said, “Half of Americans think a new recession is on the way according to a new NBC poll that we got this week. With that in mind politicians are playing the blame game like never before. So tell us more about this, Mr. Harwood.”<\/p>\n

HARWOOD: We\u2019re gonna be playing that blame game all the way through the 2012 election. Let\u2019s break it down a little bit with this NBC\/Wall Street Journal poll. First of all President Obama owns the economy because he\u2019s been in office for a couple of years, but is it his fault? When you ask people in the NBC\/Wall Street Journal poll, 62% of the people say the president inherited these bad economic policies rather than had caused them with his own policies. It\u2019s a dialogue that we\u2019re gonna have back and forth until November of 2012. Not sure how the public is gonna react over time, whether they\u2019re gonna end up blaming the president more than they do right now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n

HARWOOD: We\u2019ll see, guys.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Okay, so they clearly are gonna bank on the polls. Harwood and the boys in the Drive-Bys are going to invest in the polls. I mean they use the polls to make news, not reflect it. President Obama owns the economy because he\u2019s been in office for a couple years, but is it his fault? When you ask people in our poll, the NBC poll, 62% say the president inherited these bad economic policies rather than caused them, 62%. They believe that. Their poll told them that 62% of the American people still blame Bush. I happen to think that\u2019s bunk. I don\u2019t think 62% of the American people blame Bush. This guy\u2019s got two and a half years of a record of trying to fix it. I know he\u2019s saying it was so bad, it was much worse than we even knew, that it\u2019s gonna take my policies even longer to fix, but there\u2019s not a sign anywhere that there is any improvement. <\/p>\n

But regardless, Mr. Harwood here is telling us how the media\u2019s gonna approach this. It\u2019s Bush\u2019s fault, and they\u2019re gonna tell us that the American people think so. It reminds me during Clinton and Lewinsky, every night during the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal you watch NBC, MSNBC, and every Democrat strategist, from Lanny Davis on down, “The American people don\u2019t want this. The American people don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with this. The American people are fine with this. The American people think there\u2019s too much attention. The American people want the Republicans to shut up, Ken Starr to go away and let the president get back to work.” There was no such evidence. But they just kept saying that there was, just like here. And, interestingly, it\u2019s the same poll, NBC. Hey, there\u2019s nothing to see here. The public, 62% still blame Bush. Obama is not in any problem, doing the best he can. So I know that nothing\u2019s a fait accompli. I know that nothing\u2019s automatic. So don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s in the tank and we can all relax.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It looks to me like Obama\u2019s slogan for 2012 is gonna be something like, “We fixed everything except what Bush broke, and we promise to fix that and we\u2019re working on it,” and according to the news media… You can see it shaping up here. According to the news media and the rest of the Democrat Party machinery, the economy is just about perfect, folks, except for a few “bumps in the road.” Unemployment, job creation, manufacturing, inventories, foreclosures, housing starts, housing prices, inflation, gasoline, food? Except for those details, everything pretty much been wonderful since Obama took over. <\/p>\n

Everything\u2019s fine — and we\u2019re working hard every day to make it better for everybody. So it\u2019s really not as bad as you think. Michele Bachmann had a great comment on Obama. She nailed this, right on the money. He has no empathy whatsoever for people who are suffering — none — and, you know, it is obvious. The assumption is: “He\u2019s president, he\u2019s a liberal, so he cares.” He doesn\u2019t. It doesn\u2019t look like it. You can tell the kind of person someone is. You can size \u2019em up pretty quickly, and there just isn\u2019t any recognition or empathy. <\/p>\n

All these people in the country that make up these economic statistics are just that to Obama: statistics — and we\u2019re working on it, and we\u2019re urging everybody here to be patient, but no real empathy, no sense of understanding, because Obama\u2019s never been where they are. “It\u2019s the private sector and of course that\u2019s what happens in the private sector! We tried to warn you, ‘Okay, you like capitalism? Fine! You\u2019re gonna get fired. You\u2019re gonna get hurt. You\u2019re gonna suffer. A lot of people are gonna make more money than you are. So live with it and love it. If you like capitalism, you deserve to be in pain. That\u2019s what it causes.” Is almost the point of view.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, this is from Robert Stacy McCain, the American Spectator blog: “Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is expected within a week to make a decision on whether to enter the 2012 presidential campaign, according to one Republican source. Vendors of campaign services who hope to work for Team Palin…” <\/p>\n

I guess “vendors of campaign services” are like pollsters and buttons and signs, T-shirts, that stuff. They\u2019ve “been told that Palin, the 2008 GOP vice-presidential candidate, will decide soon one way or another on mounting a 2012 campaign.” This morning on America\u2019s Newsroom, Fox News Channel, Bill Hemmer talked to the Founder and President of Rasmussen Reports, Scott Rasmussen, and Hemmer said, “Okay, here are the latest numbers that you report: Forty-five percent of the Republican primary voters think it would be bad for the party if Palin officially throws her name in the ring. This was among Republican primary voters. What\u2019s going on here with these numbers, Scott, what do they suggest?”<\/p>\n

RASMUSSEN: Republican primary voters like Sarah Palin — they like her feistiness, they like her position on issues, they even like the kind of enemies she\u2019s made — but a lot of Republicans don\u2019t want to see her become their presidential nominee. Some because they think she\u2019s unelectable, some for other reasons. Her power in the party, though, makes her a very likely candidate to be a king- or queen-maker this year. In fact, it\u2019s hard to see any Republican winning the nomination unless Sarah Palin is at least somewhat is it supportive.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Anybody hear a disconnect in that? We all love Rasmussen. Forty-five percent, 45% say that… By the way, Palin has tweeted in response to this, knocking down this story that she\u2019s gonna make up her mind next week. The tweet says, “‘Really? Hmm, guess they forgot to inform me what I\u2019m ‘expected to do\u2019 next week.'” This is in response to the American Spectator blog that I just read from which says that she\u2019s expected within a week to make a decision on whether to run. So here\u2019s Rasmussen saying 45% of Republican primary voters don\u2019t want her to be the candidate. They love her, they think she\u2019s great — and she can probably be a king- or queen-maker, and it\u2019s hard to see any Republican winning a nomination unless Palin is somewhat supportive, but we don\u2019t want her to be the nominee.<\/p>\n

Now, I need somebody to explain that to me. On the one hand here\u2019s somebody that we like and we admire. We like her feistiness, her position on the issues; we like the kind of enemies that she\u2019s made, but I don\u2019t want to see her as the nominee. But we realize that she\u2019s got the power to be a kingmaker or queen-maker, and it\u2019s hard to see any Republican winning the nomination unless she is somewhat supportive. But we don\u2019t want her to be the nominee. Now, if you don\u2019t want her to be the nominee for — What? She can\u2019t win, she\u2019s unelectable, she\u2019s embarrassing, whatever it is — then why would you want her anywhere near a campaign advocating for anybody else? <\/p>\n

If Sarah Palin, as a candidate, can\u2019t win, how in the world does she help anybody else by supporting them? Why wouldn\u2019t she drag them down? This is what I don\u2019t understand about this — and this is open-ended question. I am not disputing Rasmussen. Because, as you know, I\u2019m not a professional pollster, but I don\u2019t get the disconnect. To me it is a disconnect. On the one hand: Love her, love her feistiness, love the way this woman takes on the media — we love her issues — but don\u2019t want her to be the nominee. But, boy, whatever the nominee is can\u2019t get anywhere unless she supports \u2019em. Why, seems to me that if she\u2019s so toxic that she couldn\u2019t be the nominee, that she would drag down anybody else that she tended to support or get behind. Fascinating.<\/p>\n

Oh, one more. Rasmussen continued. He had one more thing to say about that.<\/p>\n

RASMUSSEN: The good news for Republicans is just about all the Republican primary voters say no matter who wins the nomination they\u2019re gonna back that nominee against Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. So, again, Elmer Fudd would win the backing of the GOP. Republicans would vote for Elmer Fudd, doesn\u2019t matter. Whoever the Republicans nominate will probably be preferable to Obama — and that, at the end of the day, is true. I would hate to squander the opportunity here to have a robust conservative as the nominee, and we will not rest \u2019til that quest is satisfied.<\/p>\n
