He said: &#8220;Details kill&#8230;If we get too far into the weeds, if we produce a 1,500- or 1,600-page bill, we\u2019re going to get hung up on all the details and we\u2019re never going to get to the principles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So the game plan is: Ram it through,skip the specifics, andlet America figure out what hit uslater.<\/p>\n<p>Next. There\u2019s some grumbling going on in Democrat circlesover the $30 million or more that Lord Obama\u2019s campaign still has after the election. Democrats loaded with campaign debts want an Obama bailout,but they\u2019re hitting a brick wall.<\/p>\n<p>You idiots! When Lord Obama talks about &#8220;spreading the wealth,&#8221; like all liberals, he\u2019s not talking about his own!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, for those of you anxiously awaiting &#8220;change&#8221;&#8230; Official word has come from on high: Things are going to changefor the worse. On Meet the Depressed on Sunday, the Messiah, Lord Barack Obama the Most Merciful, repeatedly warned that things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. (I thought the whole idea was to make things better instantly?)<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019reexpecting a brighter future starting January 20th &#8212; forget it. You\u2019re going to be miserable, you\u2019re going to stay miserable, and that\u2019s just the way Obama wants it.<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: Grim!December 9, 2008Watch It!
