\n

RUSH: Barack Obama today walked out again, the press corps duly stood up as he went out to the podium to do a third consecutive economic press conference. He announced his Economic Recovery Advisory Board and he named two people to it, Paul Volcker, who is 81 years old, and has served in two previous administrations. This is more of the ‘change\u2019 that we can expect from Obama. <\/p>\n

Also, Austan Goolsbee, who was the economic advisor during the campaign, is also part of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board. Now, Paul Volcker, 81, he came in under Carter. The media, however — knowing full-well how horribly he advised Carter — is spending all of their time associating Volcker with his tenure under Ronald Reagan in a tantamount admission that the economy under Ronald Reagan was something to be pointed to with fond remembrances and pride. But let\u2019s not forget that Paul Volcker was the architect of the sky-high interest rates under the Carter administration that led to the misery index and Jimmy Carter saying the country was in a malaise. We have audio sound bites coming up of the press conference. Obama today finally got a question that was a tough question. He got a probing question, a challenging question unlike any question he has been asked in my memory during the campaign for a year-and-a-half, and he didn\u2019t like it. The Messiah got very testy for a moment. It was asked by Ed Henry of CNN. <\/p>\n

Now, when I watched it, I didn\u2019t think it was Ed Henry. I mean, I looked at it, and I thought I\u2019d never seen this reporter before. But my transcriber guys say that it was Ed Henry. If it\u2019s Ed Henry, he\u2019s finished at Obama press conferences. If it was Ed Henry, he\u2019s grown a lot of hair, and they tell me it was Ed Henry, but I never saw him identified on TV. I never thought I saw this guy before. Let\u2019s go right to the sound bites here. This is the question that got Obama all testy.<\/p>\n

HENRY: Sir, you talked about John McCain was going to come back to Washington if he won and would just move people into different chairs. We got Tom Daschle, Hillary Clinton, Bob Gates —<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Wait, wait, wait! Hold on! Ho\u2019don! Wait a minute! Hold it. You hear that? First <\/emphasize>of all, that\u2019s not the topic. We\u2019re not talking about my cabinet because I haven\u2019t made those appointments yet.<\/p>\n

HENRY: We\u2019re talking about Paul Volcker. He\u2019s been around a long time, so he\u2019s somebody who knows the ways of Washington. But what do you say, you know, to your supporters who were looking for change?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Actually Paul Volcker hasn\u2019t been in Washington for quite some time. Uhhh, and that\u2019s part of the reason he can provide a fresh perspective. Austan Goolsbee, uh, from my understanding, you\u2019ve never worked in Washington.<\/p>\n

GOOLSBEE: Been on vacation.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: This is about as fresh a face as you can get.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you see, that\u2019s not the topic, you can\u2019t ask me about that. That\u2019s not the topic. This isn\u2019t Open Line Friday. This is not the Rush Limbaugh show where you get to ask the host anything you want. You\u2019re going to stay on topic or you\u2019re never going to get back in here wait, wait, wait, wait, wait hold on hold on hold on hold on wait, wait, wait, you hear that? See, he was looking for sympathy from others in the press corps. You hear that? You hear his question? You hear how unfair this is? First of all, that\u2019s not the topic; we\u2019re not talking about the cabinet. So Volcker, who is 81 years old, is now a fresh face. Volcker looks like a bald eagle. Nothing wrong with looking like a bald eagle, except when you\u2019re not a bald eagle. He was standing there. He sent Volcker and Goolsbee out there to have their hands in their pockets for about five or ten minutes before The Messiah walked out from behind the curtain or behind the stage. They are clearly props. In the next sound bite, Obama rehashes his last two days of press conferences.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: With respect to the details of the economic plan, as I\u2019ve said before, we are going to be working over the next several months to put those details together. I\u2019ve just described for you the framework within which we are going to put that, uh, that legislation forward. We\u2019re going to have a strong stimulus, uh, a (sic) economic recovery plan that is designed to put people back to work. That\u2019s priority number one. It is going to be large enough to jump-start the economy. That was what I talked about on Monday.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, a couple observations. Look, I\u2019m not trying to nitpick, but I need to set this up because of the bite that\u2019s coming next. This sound bite and throughout this whole press conference, other than when he lost his cool with whoever this reporter was, ‘That\u2019s not the topic! Not the topic! We\u2019re not talking about my cabinet.\u2019 And eventually he did go — let me see if we have that bite. Yeah, I think we\u2019ve got the bite. I just got this and I haven\u2019t had a chance to read the transcript, but he did go on and answer the question, and it was lame. It was a lame answer. He said, ‘How can you expect me to have new faces? I mean all these people are from the last Democrat administration, that happens to be the Clinton administration. I have to get people in here who know what they\u2019re doing.\u2019 So he really fumbled the answer, and I\u2019m being told it is Ed Henry. Ed went in there in a disguise, I guarantee you, because he wants to be let back in. <\/p>\n

At any rate, he botched the answer to the question. He was asked about Daschle and all these other people, but we\u2019ll get to that here in just a second. This answer that you just heard is Obama sounding like he\u2019s in charge. And if you didn\u2019t know anything, if you just landed from Mars and you were told this is the country\u2019s next president, and you hear him say with confidence and vigor, ‘I just described for you the framework within which we\u2019re going to put that legislation forward. We\u2019re going to have a strong stimulus, economic recovery plan designed to put people back to work! That\u2019s priority number one. It\u2019s going to be large enough to jump-start the economy. That was what I talked about on Monday.\u2019 He sounds totally confident, totally in charge and if you happen to be an Obama supporter or neophyte — hard to tell the difference — listening to this, then you\u2019d be inspired: ‘Okay, here\u2019s somebody in charge, and he\u2019s going to fix it. He\u2019s going to get my job back and so forth.\u2019 Then here\u2019s the next bite.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: On Tuesday I talked about the fact that we are going to have to pare back on programs that do not work, and I, uh, I think would hardly be expected to provide you a detailed list now. That\u2019s why I have Peter Orszag, our budget director who is going to be going through that budget page by page, line by line. And the expectation is that we will identify those programs that are not working, make sure that those are eliminated and put money into programs that do work around things like health care modernization, making sure that we\u2019ve got the first class schools that our kids need in order to compete in the Twenty-First Century, start putting a down payment on a new energy economy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So the first answer was: ‘I\u2019m in charge! I\u2019m going to get your job back. We\u2019re going to put people back to work. That\u2019s priority number one.\u2019 Then the second answer is: Here comes the giant expansion of government. So nothing has changed here, but if you just listen to the second bite with no knowledge of this guy, you would think, ‘Wow, this is going to be pretty good. Here\u2019s a guy finally in charge. He understands he needs to put people back to work. We\u2019ve got people working on a recovery plan that\u2019s designed to do just that. That\u2019s priority number one.\u2019 But then the next answer betrays who he really is and what his economic theory is, which is basically collectivism and the expansion of government, the notion that government can best jump-start the economy as opposed to people who make the country work. This has never worked before, and they\u2019re still going to try it, because it\u2019s all about cementing and ensuring their power for at least ten years. Then Obama said this about his team.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: When it comes to the people that we\u2019ve pulled together — because I know this has been sort of conventional wisdom floating around Washington, uh, that, well, you know, there\u2019s a recycling of, uh, people who were in the Clinton administration, although Paul dates before that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Listen, now.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — the last Democratic administration that we had was the Clinton administration.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And so it would be surprising if I selected a Treasury secretary who had had no connection with the last Democratic administration because that would mean that the person had no experience in Washington whatsoever.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And I suspect that you would be troubled and the American people would be troubled if I selected a Treasury secretary or a chairman of the National Economic Council at one of the most critical economic times in our history who had no experience in government whatsoever.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, this is awfully sly, but how many hundreds of thousands of people are there in government that he could have chosen that are brainiacs that might have some decent ideas that have no ties to the Clinton administration? They\u2019re all over the place. This answer is so lame. ‘Where else am I going to get my staff. I\u2019ve gotta raid the only Democrat administration we\u2019ve had in the last 20 years, where am I going to get my staff?\u2019 Then there\u2019s this, and this is even better. This is even more telling, because here Obama tells us what his role in all this is going to be.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: What we are going to do is combine experience with fresh thinking.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: But I understand where the — the vision for change comes from first and foremost. It comes from ME. That\u2019s my job, is to provide a vision in terms of where we are going and to make sure then that my team is implementing it. I think when you ultimately look at what this advisory board looks like you\u2019ll say this is a cross section of opinion, uh, that in some ways, uh, reinforces conventional wisdom, in some ways breaks it orthodoxy in all sorts of ways, and that\u2019s the kind of discussion that we\u2019re going to want. We want ideas from everybody. What I don\u2019t want to do is to somehow, uh, suggest that because you served in the last Democratic administration, that you\u2019re somehow, uh, barred from serving, uh, again, because we need people who are going to be able to hit the ground running.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, so he finally gets a tough question, and he\u2019s flailing around. If you listen to his answer, he\u2019s flailing around all over the place. He sounds confident and in charge, though. But he\u2019s flailing around. ‘Look, I understand where this vision for change comes from. It comes from me. That\u2019s my job, to provide a vision.\u2019 So he\u2019s planning on being a figurehead. He\u2019s going to sit there in the Oval Office; he\u2019s going to tell this team his vision; they\u2019re going to go out and act on his vision. I thought yesterday he said that these are the people that are going to come up with all the ideas and he\u2019s going to have competing ideas among these various groups of advisories and they\u2019re all going to come together and make a decision on what ought to happen. The way he answers this question, he doesn\u2019t need a team, he doesn\u2019t need competing ideas. All he needs is a bunch of lackeys \u2019cause he\u2019s going to be sitting there providing the vision and he\u2019s going to tell \u2019em what he saw and then they\u2019re supposed to go out and implement it. <\/p>\n

Look, he\u2019s going to be more than a figurehead, but ‘my job\u2019s to provide the vision\u2019? That\u2019s strangely like CEO talk. It is strangely like CEO talk, and of course he wants all CEOs to forgo their bonuses this year. We have that coming up as well. But Obama repeated during the campaign constantly over and over that putting the same old Washington people in the same jobs and expecting different results is not going to provide meaningful change. Amen, bro! You have just said that everything you talked about with change, at least as people understood it, is off the board now. And the real change is going to be a full speed ahead approach to trying to expand the government as large and as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to go back to this answer that Obama gave. I\u2019m not going to play number one again. We\u2019ll do that one later. I want to stick to the substance here. Obama was finally asked a tough question today at his press conference. He did not like it. He intimidated the reporter, ‘That\u2019s not the topic! Wait, wait, wait! That\u2019s not the topic.\u2019 He was asking about the appointment of all these Clinton people in the cabinet. So here are two sound bites, just to repeat this because there\u2019s some things I want to add in addition to my already salient and brilliant analysis up to this point.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: When it comes to the people that we\u2019ve pulled together —<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s gotta stop the stuttering, too, or it\u2019s going to drive me nuts.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — floating around Washington that, well, you know, there\u2019s a recycling of, uh, people who were in the Clinton administration —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — although Paul dates before that. The last Democratic administration that we had was the Clinton administration.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And so it would be surprising if I selected a Treasury secretary who had had no connection with the last Democratic administration because that would mean that the person had no experience in Washington whatsoever.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And I suspect that you would be troubled and the American people would be troubled if I selected a Treasury secretary or a chairman of the National Economic Council at one of the most critical economic times in our history who had no experience in government whatsoever.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what you said you were going to do, though! That\u2019s the impression you left with all of these neophyte people that voted for you. They were going to get rid of the usual human debris that populates a bureaucracy, going to bring in some fresh faces just like you — ahem — and that they\u2019re going to have all these brilliant new ideas. It is a recycling! Here\u2019s the next bite.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: What we are going to do is combine experience with fresh thinking.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Understand where —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — the — the vision for change comes from first and foremost.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Where?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: It comes from ME.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: That\u2019s my job is to provide a vision in terms of where we are going and to make sure, then, that my team is implemented.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, cut it. Cut it. That\u2019s not what he\u2019s been saying the past two days. He has been giving his team assignments to come back with solutions. He today is saying that this team is going to listen to his vision, and they\u2019re going to go out and implement his vision. But the past two days he\u2019s been saying he\u2019s gonna wait to see what they recommend. What this all means is Obama just made the case why Hillary Clinton should be president. That is what this means, my good friends. He is picking the Clinton team because they have experience and he doesn\u2019t. He is admitting that his lack of experience can only be balanced by people who have experience. He\u2019s obviously not going to choose Republicans, so where else is he going to go? He\u2019s gotta go to Democrats who are most recently there. That means he\u2019s re-impaneling in large part the Clinton economic team, the Clinton cabinet — and he wants a ‘cross section of opinion.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Okay, here\u2019s the cross section. The cross section of opinion that Obama has assembled ranges from liberal to very liberal. The cross section of opinion does not include very liberal, liberal, moderate, conservative. It\u2019s a very narrow range of opinion, this cross section. Folks, I\u2019m not trying to be I-told-you-so here, but you gotta hammer it home when you have the opportunity to hammer it home. It proves everything that we have been saying about Obama. Zero experience, left-wing ideologue. So he appoints people who will implement his left-wing ideology, which is, quote, unquote, his ‘vision.\u2019 <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Mike in Indianapolis. Welcome, sir, to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh. This is Mike from the Heartland. My feline friend here, Melchior, passes on Thanksgiving wishes to your feline friend, Punkin.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And my comment has to do with Paul Volcker, who during the standing as sort of an awesome presence behind Barack\u2019s entire campaign I was concerned and told people that here\u2019s a Republican who turned coat but had actually turned coat even before that. He was the one who headed up the investigation of food-for-oil scandal in the United Nations and ended up giving Kofi Annan and his son a buy on the whole deal. And this was because at the same time that this scandal was going on of course the Germans and the French were using the embargo as a front —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I had forgotten that part of Volcker\u2019s resume. You\u2019re right. He did do the investigation, the oil-for-food program of the UN and basically gave the two head honchos, Kofi Annan and his son. What was his son\u2019s name, Kofu? What was his son, Kofi Annan and — oh, and then Kofi threw the kid under the bus —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — a couple times or threw him overboard, but they both got wrist slaps by Paul Volcker.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. And Kofi, of course, is messing around down there in Zimbabwe with Jimmy Carter, been denied admission to go there and stir up trouble when actually what they could do is get something done with arms coming out of South Africa.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re not showing the proper amount of respect here. Obama said today this is a fresh face, that Volcker hadn\u2019t been around Washington since the eighties.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Fresh face. (laughing) You\u2019re speaking euphemistically, right?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, he\u2019s trying to make people think that Volcker\u2019s been running around chewing his cud for the last 26 years and has now been called out of retirement because challenges are so important and so great that this is the only guy that can handle it along with Austan Goolsbee.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Well, you watch and see what other fresh faces is named to his cabinet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, Obama\u2019s admitting to us he\u2019s got no experience. He\u2019s admitting to us he doesn\u2019t have any idea here. He\u2019s admitting to us that he\u2019s going to be a figurehead. It\u2019s his vision. Now, I\u2019m not trying to diminish his power or influence here because I think he is a committed leftist and I think he\u2019s going to do everything he can to advance that kind of an agenda, but when it comes specifically to executive experience, Obama is telling us he hasn\u2019t got any — which we all pointed out during the campaign. All right, look, I appreciate the phone call, Mike. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
