\"Listen<\/a> <\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I chuckle at the president. The president\u2019s out there, he\u2019s doing a joint press conference today with the head honcho in Singapore. <\/p>\n

You know this has to be planned, and even if it wasn\u2019t planned, it was gonna happen.  Obama is using the occasion of this to bash Trump out the wazoo.  One of the questions he got was about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, because that\u2019s one of the reasons for the press conference was Singapore head honcho would benefit from this, and Obama — attempting to give that trade deal credibility — said, “Hey, you know what? I\u2019m president; I\u2019m for it.” <\/p>\n

Now, this is after he has just unloaded on Trump as indecent, as unfit, as incompetent, as dangerous.  Do you know what I watched on CNN today?  They were promoting… I don\u2019t know if it actually happened. They were promoting an upcoming roundtable between Bloomberg people and others on the question of whether Donald Trump is actually insane.  They were actually gonna have a roundtable on Trump\u2019s state of mind, whether he\u2019s sane or not! They used the word “insanity.” I saw it in the graphic. <\/p>\n

So if people have been watching CNN in the morning, they see Obama come out and he starts going on and on and on about how Trump is unfit and he\u2019s not got the right temperament and he\u2019s unqualified, and he also said, “How can you Republicans continue to support this guy?  How can you possibly do it?”  And then to explain the lackadaisical, lackluster economy, Obama said, “Hey, you know what?  I can\u2019t help it! It\u2019s a global economy.  I really can\u2019t.” <\/line><\/p>\n

So, we got a guy making an excuse for not being able to do something.  He didn\u2019t say in eight years he wasn\u2019t gonna be able to fix the economy \u2019cause it\u2019s global.  What he means is, “Hey, it\u2019s so big, it\u2019s global! Our economy is just a drop in the bucket compared to the global economy.  I can\u2019t control the global economy — and if I can\u2019t control the global economy, I can\u2019t control the US economy.” Wait a minute.  Eight years ago, the sea levels were gonna come down.<\/p>\n

The planet was going to heal. There was gonna be love and utopia everywhere.  And, of course, none of what Obama projected — none of what he promised — none of the pictures he painted have come anywhere near being true.  And we have to hear how Donald Trump is unfit? After this bunch takes policies that puts weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels, Fast and Furious. After this bunch irresponsibly… Whatever they were doing in Benghazi blew up and four Americans died, and then they lied about why and continue to.<\/p>\n

Now they are embarking on a campaign to sully and destroy the reputations of the surviving parents of those four, and we have to hear how Trump is unfit? We have to hear how Trump is not suitable? We have to hear how Trump is not stable or what have you? And now we have all of a sudden, the reason why our economy is growing at barely 1%, “Well, I can\u2019t help it. It\u2019s a global economy.”  Wait a minute.  You were gonna control everything! You were gonna fix everything. <\/p>\n

Just your presence in Washington was gonna make the rest of the world bow down and agree to whatever demands or requests that you made.  What happened to all of that?  Where are the objective standards of measurement and analysis of Obama\u2019s presidency?  They don\u2019t exist.  As far as the Drive-Bys are concerned, he sounds like he\u2019s a Harvard-educated guy. He has intellectualspeak down pat. So that\u2019s all you need!<\/line><\/p>\n

“He\u2019s smart, whatever he does. Doesn\u2019t matter how bad, doesn\u2019t matter how wrong, he\u2019s smart, and that\u2019s all we care about.  And Trump? Why, Trump\u2019s bordering on insane! Trump\u2019s uncontrollable. He\u2019s unpredictable. He doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about. He\u2019s unsuitable, he\u2019s unfit, he\u2019s ill tempered.” So this is where we are.  The incumbents are making flimsy excuses for their failures while being covered by the Drive-By Media and having failures converted into success stories, all the while — and, by the way, not complaining, \u2019cause everybody knew this was going to happen. <\/p>\n

The Trump people should have known this was gonna happen.  What do you think, Mr. Snerdley? A couple questions here. I\u2019ll ask Mr. Snerdley. What do you think of Trump saying that he fears the election\u2019s already rigged?” (interruption) You thought it was lame?  Why do you think Trump said it?  I\u2019m asking all of you. (interruption) ‘Cause he honestly does think the election\u2019s rigged.  Well, he was bouncing off what happened to Crazy Bernie, who we know was cheated.  I mean, we know. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got the emails, WikiLeaks, the document dump. We know the Democrat National Committee cheated.  And, by the way, I didn\u2019t get a chance to get into this yesterday, although I intended to, that whole game, the coronation, the nomination of Hillary Rodham, that was done in 2008 after Obama won the presidency.  That deal was put together back then.<\/p>\n

I have no doubt, folks, Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz being put in charge of the Democrat National Committee<\/a> coming over from running parts of Obama\u2019s campaign, there\u2019s no question the fix was in, I don\u2019t care if any of you out there want to tell me I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about, you don\u2019t.  I know exactly what happened here.  I know exactly what 2008 was gonna be until Obama decided he wanted to run.  2008 was when what\u2019s happening now was supposed to happen.  Hillary was promised 2008 was hers.<\/p>\n

They owed her.  They owed her big time for saving her husband and thus saving the Democrat Party, saving his presidency.  They owed her big time, but then they got snookered.  Obama decided he wants to run.  Now they\u2019ve got a choice, the young black guy or the old Nurse Ratched.  What do we do?  And the choice was easy.  They threw Hillary overboard and she was livid.  And she still held a lot of testicles in the lockbox.  I\u2019m telling you, she was guaranteed this year would be her nomination, and they would do whatever it took.<\/p>\n

<\/a>You want to know why Biden didn\u2019t actually run?  You wonder why only Crazy Bernie ran?  This should have been wide open.  Who do we have, we have Crazy Bernie, Jim Webb, we have that guy, O\u2019Malley.  People said the Democrat Party didn\u2019t have a very deep bench, meaning they don\u2019t have any young talent out there. They do.  Well, they did on paper. They had the Castro brothers down there in San Antonio.  They could have repeated first black president with first Hispanic, but there\u2019s any number of Democrats out there.  Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren.  Why didn\u2019t she run?<\/p>\n

I mean, there\u2019s any number of people out there that are much more popular than Hillary Clinton, that poll much better than Hillary Clinton, have much less baggage than Hillary Clinton.  Where were they?  Why were the debates placed on Saturday night?  Why do they want the debates now opposite NFL games?  Because Hillary can\u2019t win campaigning.  The only hope they\u2019ve got, and I mean the only hope, and they appear to be pulling it off now, the only hope they\u2019ve got is to destroy Trump because she cannot win this on her own.<\/p>\n

I think what they\u2019re angling for, I think they are trying to take Trump out right now.  I think they are trying to dispirit, destroy the Trump campaign right now.  I think they are angling. I think their objective here is to see to it that it gets so bad that there aren\u2019t any debates and just cancel \u2019em, \u2019cause they can\u2019t agree to move \u2019em from the conflict with the NFL, people say, “Well, nobody\u2019s gonna see the debates,” and rather than move the debates, just gonna decide not to do it because that would be the most beneficial thing for Hillary, is to have there be no debates.<\/p>\n

So I may be getting a little ahead of myself there, but I\u2019m telling you this whole thing was cooked and baked in 2000.  So they cheat.  So we\u2019ve got this email dump coming, back to Benghazi, why were we there.  Trump\u2019s saying that he thinks the election\u2019s rigged.  I hope he\u2019s not making excuses.  I hope that he\u2019s not trying to evoke sympathy.  I hope that he\u2019s not saying this as a head start on explaining why he lost.  Some people think that\u2019s what he\u2019s doing.  I hope that\u2019s not what it is.  Some people think, “He can see the tea leaves, Rush. He\u2019s already established, he\u2019s getting it on paper why he lost.  He didn\u2019t lose, he was cheated out of it.”  I hope that\u2019s not what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

But if this is actually a political strategic move, tactical move to elicit sympathy that they hope to convert to support, that\u2019s not how politics works.  You don\u2019t get support by people feeling sorry for you, or thinking that you\u2019re the object of dirty tricks and so we\u2019re gonna really come out and defend you and promote you.  That\u2019s not how it works.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Yeah, I got two sound bites here.  Can I…? No, I\u2019m not gonna be able to get \u2019em both in.  Which one\u2019s more important?  Okay, let\u2019s just play the first one, and we\u2019ll tempt you. They\u2019re both Obama.  I was just referring to his press conference.  Here\u2019s the first sound bite that we have from it…<\/p>\n
