RUSH: Freshman Republican Senator Marco Rubio has had his own name for Barack Obama, and this is classic as well. This is from National Review Online at their Corner blog: “Rubio tells us that he will respond to Obama\u2019s recent press conference, where the president reveled in class-warfare bluster. ‘Quite frankly, I am both disappointed for our country and shocked at some of the rhetoric,\u2019 he says. ‘It was rhetoric, I thought, that was more appropriate for some left-wing strong man than for the president of the United States. Talking about corporate jets and oil companies,\u2019 Rubio says, missed the point. ‘Everybody here agrees that our tax code is broken,\u2019 he says, and he is open to discussing tax reform. <\/p>\n

“‘But don\u2019t go around telling people that the reason you are not doing well is because some rich guy is in a corporate jet or some oil company is making too much money.'” Well, that\u2019s all Obama\u2019s got. All he has is class warfare. You know, Obama\u2019s out there chiding the Republicans for not acting like grownups. So when\u2019s he gonna go answer questions about jobs or the economy? He just… I don\u2019t know. The White House says they\u2019re gonna host a Twitter town hall with President Obama on July 6, and that\u2019s where the president will answer questions submitted via Twitter which limits messages to 140 characters. “The town hall will focus on jobs and the economy and a video feed of Obama\u2019s answers will be streamed online.” So he\u2019s gonna go answer questions about jobs and the economy on Twitter. <\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s examine Obama a little bit from yesterday, folks. There\u2019s only one reason to play the Fear or the Race or the Sick Children or the Homophobe Card, and that is when you have a losing hand. You have to examine Obama here in the context of his life. He\u2019s never been in this position in his entire life. He has finally had to make decisions — as an executive, not as a voting senator — and those decisions that he\u2019s made have produced results, and the results are disastrous. The results are horrible, and what he\u2019s going to do is parade those horribles in front of the country and try to say that the Republicans are to blame for all this. But these results have come back to haunt him. <\/p>\n

They are worried in the White House. They are terrified. They\u2019re not happy with his performance in that press conference yesterday. Liberals have been running this country for over two years. As I said yesterday: We\u2019ve had 29 months of liberalism here, folks — 29 months of unabated socialism — and we see what we get from it! It doesn\u2019t work, and it\u2019s one of the reasons the libs in this country are so angry. They\u2019re perpetually angry. Imagine you\u2019re a lib and you\u2019ve got your panacea here, you\u2019ve got your utopia, you\u2019ve got your guy, and he\u2019s given you pretty much everything you want — and your country is falling apart! <\/p>\n

You\u2019re no better off. The people flying in corporate jets are still flying in corporate jets; the people going to Vegas are still going to Vegas. You know, your enemies are still out there and they\u2019re still triumphing despite the odds. The only thing is you\u2019re no better off. You\u2019re supposed to have all this largesse redistributed to you, and it hasn\u2019t happened. All that\u2019s happening is that your future is down the drain. You have no job, your house is worthless, and you voted for the guy! But imagine him. You know, it\u2019s bad enough to be a narcissist, but to be a failing narcissist in the public eye? This is intolerable. I\u2019m not a professional psychologist or psychiatrist, but I have to think that we\u2019re dealing with a guy here, folks, who may not quite know how to handle all this.<\/p>\n

This is like a guy that every mistake he\u2019s made has been covered. Here\u2019s a guy for whom every “C” in school was turned into a “B” or an “A.” The road was paved. There were no lows. Everything was rosy. The future was bright. All he had to do was get up every day. He told Harry Reid, “Harry, I have a gift,” meaning his ability to speak. So it\u2019s understandable that he\u2019s in love with himself and understandable he\u2019s a full-fledged narcissist, but now he\u2019s a failed narcissist and a failed narcissist in the public eye — and that is intolerable. This carefully crafted image is to be protected at all costs. I really hate to do this. I hate to, but I need to illustrate the point.<\/p>\n

As you may know, I play golf — and I play golf with other people who play golf, and those other people who play golf with me we talk about others who play golf. In the course of playing golf with people who play golf and talking about people who play golf, the name Tiger Woods comes up — and invariably I, the renowned expert in every group which I find myself, am asked, “Do you think Tiger will ever be the golfer he was?” and my answer is, “I don\u2019t know, but I can\u2019t imagine what it\u2019s like to be Tiger Woods, because we now know that everything that was presented to us image-wise was not true. He wasn\u2019t a perfect father, wasn\u2019t a perfect husband. He wasn\u2019t perfect this, wasn\u2019t perfect that.” All of that was manufactured.<\/p>\n

All of it was manufactured corporate imagery. Now we all know that none of it was true. But here\u2019s the thing: I have so much admiration for Tiger Woods\u2019 talent and his steely resolve. Folks, there\u2019s nobody that faced performance pressure any better at any time than Tiger Woods. Jack Nicklaus, of course. But trust me, I know what I\u2019m talking about — and I\u2019m not talking about golf; I\u2019m talking about just the pressure to perform, meet and surpass expectations, and he did that. But now every time he goes on the golf course, he knows that everybody looking at him (and they are in the millions) knows that all of what “was” was fabricated. I can\u2019t imagine what that must be like, but I have to tell you: I think Barack Obama is going through much the same thing. <\/p>\n

Mr. Perfect. <\/p>\n

Look at what we were told. “A politician unlike any other. A human being unlike any other!” This man himself said, by virtue of his election, we would “slow the rise of the oceans.” The world would come together as one. There would be… Well, you remember all of that tripe. He believed it and the people around him believed it, and the people that voted for him thought the exact opposite of what has happened would happen. We were going to be loved, we were going to be powerful, we were going to be rich, we were going to be wealthy. People were gonna have all kinds of opportunity. New homes, new cars, new kitchens! All of what people wanted in their lives, he was going to provide — and he fed that.<\/p>\n

He fed that image. He and his handlers and the media built up that image, and they made it real — and he, as a narcissist, believed it — and now he is the architect of one of the biggest disasters to ever strike this country, including Hurricane Katrina or any other hurricane. What has happened to this country in the last 29 months is unprecedented in the sense that it can be explained by the policies of one individual and a party acting in unison with him. What has happened to this country is a direct result of policy implementation by Barack Obama. So here you have this messiah, this self-believing messiah — The One — as an architect of disaster. His decisions have been disastrous. What does he do? How does he behave? <\/p>\n

We saw a sense of it yesterday.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to finish my thought here \u2019cause it\u2019s a little serious folks where we are here right now. We\u2019ve got the president of the United States who\u2019s taking vacation after vacation after vacation, chiding Congress for not doing anything in this debt limit business. He hasn\u2019t led on anything. He hasn\u2019t produced a budget. He hasn\u2019t produced a program for anything in terms of specifics. There\u2019s really one group of people working to try to bring this country out of the mess it\u2019s in, and it\u2019s the Republicans in the House and the Senate — and I don\u2019t say that as a partisan. They\u2019re the ones working, and the other party is simply reacting and ankle-biting. <\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s playing golf, going on vacation. What happened yesterday in that press conference, I almost came to you today, ladies and gentlemen, wanting to apologize for treating his press conference yesterday as if it were a serious event and attempt to lead the nation \u2019cause it wasn\u2019t. There he was, Obama appearing after presidential buildup. He\u2019s got two teleprompters, he\u2019s got one voice reverberator, he\u2019s got a stack of political talking points and cheap shots and meaningless claims. He can say with equal passion the debt limit should not be increased — in 2006 he said that — and that it should be increased now, and nobody calls him on it. <\/p>\n

How do you take this guy seriously? The only reason you take this guy seriously is because of the power he\u2019s got but you don\u2019t take him seriously because of his intellect. He can make fun of, he can mock 535 members of Congress for not showing leadership while he refuses to lead. How do you take that seriously? He can brag that his pre-teenage daughters don\u2019t wait \u2019til the last minute to finish their homework while he hasn\u2019t even turned in last year\u2019s budget — and he gets their ages wrong! He doesn\u2019t even know how old his daughters are. So on the one hand you have to take it seriously; on the other hand you feel like a fool for doing so. Honestly. <\/p>\n

So we\u2019ve got this carefully crafted image of Obama, and it is to be protected at all costs. So in the course of that protection there\u2019ll be blame, rationalization, straw men, distortions, lies. You see, Barack Obama has never had to take responsibility for the phony arguments that he has presented. He\u2019s always been able to vote “present” or get lost in a crowd of legislators, and in so doing has been able to maintain a phony credibility. Well, what we saw yesterday in that press conference is President Obama\u2019s best hand. When asked, “How many cards, Mr. President?” he said, “Four.” He\u2019s got nothing, folks. He\u2019s got nothing. Now, in this game of debt ceiling poker Obama kept the one card he\u2019s bluffed his way through life with, the Emotional Ploy Card. It\u2019s a wild card that can be used to evoke fear. <\/p>\n

Phony racial, sexual, gender, class accusations, whatever it takes to defeat the reality of his decisions. He is playing cheap emotional games, and he knows (like all the rest of us now know) that what he was presented as is a lie. He has to face those cameras, and he has to face every audience knowing full well that everybody in that audience, including Democrats in the audience, now know that he is not The Messiah. He is not magic. He is not unique. What makes him historic is not the color of his skin. What makes him historic is his contempt for this country, his desire to transform it and destroy it and convert it to a European socialist country. You know how a coward speaks before a scheduled fight? “I can\u2019t fight you! I can\u2019t fight you \u2019cause it might upset your sick grandmother.” <\/p>\n

Whenever there\u2019s an emotional component to an argument, it\u2019s worth parsing. So you have Obama\u2019s false choice here: Kids or corporate jets. That is a classic means, a class attempt to avoid the intellectual arguments regarding spending cuts. It\u2019s undeniable. The federal government, under Barack Obama\u2019s direction, has spent trillions of dollars beyond our means to repay. It has not created any jobs. It has not worked. It has done the opposite of what it was intended. Then to accuse Republicans of standing in the way of a debt ceiling agreement due to their preference of corporate jets over children is an emotional ploy designed to escape responsibility. It\u2019s a coward\u2019s way out. Corporate jets or children? That\u2019s offered up to cloud the real problem. Barack Obama is afraid to face facts. He is afraid to face the consequence of his choices — and he\u2019s good at this coward\u2019s game, because he\u2019s had so much practice.<\/p>\n

He claims to be worried about the our kids and our sick grandmothers, but in reality he\u2019s worried about having to have an adult discussion of a serious problem that\u2019s covered with his fingerprints. All of this, folks, in my mind is unhealthy. You have somebody who believed all this, and the exact opposite now is revealed to be the truth. You have a reelection coming pick up and can\u2019t run on your record. What do you do? I\u2019m sure he\u2019s seething with rage and anger over any number of things, and when you have that as the foundation of your behavior and policy making it\u2019s a scary thing. Here, grab sound bite number seven first. I told the broadcast engineer I wanted to play Mitch McConnell but set up number seven. This is from the press conference yesterday. This is Obama scolding Congress.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Malia and Sasha generally finish their homework a day ahead of time. Malia\u2019s 13 (sic); Sasha\u2019s 10. They don\u2019t wait until the night before. They\u2019re not pulling all-nighters. <\/p>\n

REPORTERS: (laughter)<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Congress can do the same thing. If you know you gotta do something, just do it. They\u2019re in one week, they\u2019re out one week, and then they\u2019re saying, “Obama\u2019s gotta step in it.” You need to be here. <\/p>\n

REPORTERS: (giggling)<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I\u2019ve been here. I\u2019ve been doin\u2019 Afghanistan and Bin Laden and the Greek crisis. And you stay here. Let\u2019s get it done.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Everybody knows… I mean, that\u2019s so childish and immature that even the left-wing media is in chagrin over this. But despite that, they\u2019re trying to cover for him. I\u2019m not gonna play you the bites. We\u2019ve got sound bites here of the media people, “Oh, man he was Trumanesque! Oh, yeah, Obama in that press conference he was Trumanesque.” Really? Well, let\u2019s go back to July 15th, 1948, in Philadelphia. At the Democrat National Convention, Harry Truman was nominated as the Democrat candidate for president, and we have a bit of his acceptance speech here.<\/p>\n

TRUMAN 1948: My duty as president requires that I use every means within my power to get the laws the people need on matters of such importance and urgency. I am therefore calling this Congress back into session on the 26th of July. <\/p>\n

DELEGATES: (wild cheering and applause)<\/p>\n

TRUMAN 1948: On the 26th day of July — which out in Missouri we call Turnip Day — I\u2019m gonna call that Congress back!<\/p>\n

RUSH: So that\u2019s what they claim Obama sounds like. They claim Obama\u2019s Trumanesque. In their dreams. There was a lot of audience laughter yesterday in that press conference. I don\u2019t know if they were laughing at him or laughing with him. Here\u2019s Mitch McConnell this morning on the Senate floor. You just heard Obama say (impression), “Hey! Hey! I\u2019m here! I\u2019m here! You guys, you\u2019re not showing up. My daughters don\u2019t wait \u2019til last minute to do their homework.” Here\u2019s Mitch McConnell.<\/p>\n

MCCONNELL: I\u2019d like to invite the President to come to the Capitol today to meet with Senate Republicans. Any time this afternoon he\u2019s available, come on up to the Capitol and meet with Senate Republicans. The President says he wants us to get working. I can\u2019t think of a better way than to have him come right on over today — we\u2019re waiting — and hear directly from our conference about the legislative realities in Congress right now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Any bets on whether he shows up, ladies and gentlemen?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Monsey, New York, and Scott. You\u2019re first. It\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m just wondering, after listening to Obama\u2019s press conference — I\u2019m really, really wondering — if this guy is somewhat interested in a deal. I\u2019m really wondering. I mean, this guy, he… I will take you to Chris Christie —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You mean a deal on the debt ceiling?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Yes. Take it to Chris Christie. Chris Christie was on Meet the Press, and he explained to David Gregory how he was able to cut a deal on pension reform with the Democratic legislature in New Jersey. He explained, “You know what I will tell you?” He spoke to Dave Gregory. He said, You know what I will tell you? We didn\u2019t demagogue each other.” When you start demagoguing, you are a nonstarter. Here we have President Obama, the leader of America, and what has he done by his press conference? Just demagoguing the Republicans. He\u2019s a nonstarter — and what does he mean? He goes comparing the deficit, the debt ceiling to Malia\u2019s and Sasha\u2019s spelling tests? I don\u2019t get it. Which planet is he living on?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I know. It\u2019s hard to understand this guy if you don\u2019t… Where are you from, by the way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Monsey, New York.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, your nationality.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m Jewish.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Your Jewish. Well, then —<\/p>\n

CALLER: How did you get it?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (chuckles) You sound like you\u2019re from a different country. I don\u2019t mean to be insulting here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckles) It\u2019s no problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, don\u2019t take it as an insult.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s no problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was wondering if you had experience with a totalitarian regime. We have a lot of people that call here from former Eastern Bloc countries. I thought you might be one of those because you sound — your attitude sounds — like somebody who has recently discovered freedom from oppression, and you\u2019re listening to some guy that reminds you of what it was like when you lived in tyranny.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Uh-huh. No, I\u2019m originally born in the USA.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m just not talking a lot of English, so…<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s wonderful. Happy to have you on the program, brother.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, thank you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re exactly right. We\u2019re dealing with a man-child here. You\u2019re trying to analyze an adult, when in fact what we have here is a narcissist who, since childhood, has had the way paved for him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s why I said it\u2019s a little dangerous here, because this the first time anything\u2019s ever gone wrong, and it\u2019s the first time it\u2019s ever gone wrong directly traceable to him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And how he\u2019s dealing with it is… That\u2019s why you get these senseless comparisons to his daughters whose ages he doesn\u2019t even know —<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughs)<\/p>\n

RUSH: — finishing their homework early versus Congress getting anything done while he\u2019s out playing golf or plotting his next vacation!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, he said he was taking on Bin Laden. They took him from a golf game, he should take on Bin Laden!<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They had to take him away from a golf game to take out Bin Laden!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Problem is they had Bin Laden all the way last August. It took \u2019em months to get Obama to even act on that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You compare Obama… (interruption) Do I think there\u2019s gonna be a deal on the debt ceiling? I\u2019m being asked if I think there\u2019s going to be a deal on the debt ceiling, and I think that\u2019s a distraction. I think that\u2019s getting caught up in the minutia as to whether or not there\u2019s gonna be a deal. Of course somewhere down the line there\u2019s gonna be a deal on the debt ceiling. Of course there will be! There\u2019s no question there will be. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: What I mean, folks, about the debt ceiling business, is it\u2019s just the latest phony crisis. It\u2019s just the latest TARP. It\u2019s just the latest stimulus. It\u2019s just the latest auto bailout. “We\u2019d better do this or the country\u2019s finished! If we don\u2019t do this, why, you might have to give up two of your kids! If we don\u2019t do this, it\u2019s the end of the world as we know it!” It\u2019s how the Democrats sell everything, and all this is is a ploy to raise spending; to avoid cutting spending. It\u2019s the same old thing. Liberals are who they are, folks. Democrats are who they are. The contrast could not be more stark, and the choices that we face in the future could not be more stark.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So earlier Mitch McConnell, in responding to the president suggesting that Congress get its butt in gear and everybody start working together, Mitch McConnell said, (paraphrasing) “Okay, Mr. President, come on up and see us here in the Senate. We Republicans are ready. We\u2019re ready to roll up our sleeves. We\u2019re ready to get working with you here on the debt limit and what to do about it. Come on up.” Jay Carney at the White House during the briefing responded.<\/p>\n

CARNEY: What the Senator invited the president to do was to hear Senate Republicans restate their maximalist position. We know what that position is. And he also invited the president to hear what would not pass. That\u2019s not a conversation worth having. What we need to have is a conversation about what will pass.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So basically Jay Carney flips the bird to Mitch McConnell. McConnell says, (paraphrasing) “Come on up, come to Capitol Hill, you claim we\u2019re not working; we\u2019re here. Come on up and let\u2019s do a deal.” Jay Carney, “We\u2019re not gonna talk to you. You\u2019re not budging off your maximalist position. We know what that is. You just want the president to come up there to hear what\u2019s not gonna pass. That\u2019s not a conversation worth having. What we need to have is a conversation about what will pass,” meaning, you guys shut up and just sign what I want. I\u2019ll hear about it at the halfway house between nine and ten at congressional. So they didn\u2019t mean any of that yesterday. We\u2019re dealing with a man-child here. We\u2019re dealing with somebody who\u2019s not serious. Well, he\u2019s not serious about his desire to work with Republicans. He\u2019s not serious about anything other than presiding over the decline of this country.<\/p>\n
