RUSH: I think he\u2019s in trouble, and I think, ladies and gentlemen, he knows he\u2019s in trouble. Now, you would never know it unless you have a highly trained and experienced eye and ears like mine. Watching the Barack Obama press conference… Well, it wasn\u2019t a press conference, because he didn\u2019t take any questions, but watching his appearance this morning in the White House with a couple of CEOs, I have an entirely — and of course, what\u2019s odd about this… I have an entirely different take from those who analyzed this event in the White House that happened just mere moments ago. Greetings and welcome to the fastest week in media and the fastest three hours in media, the Rush Limbaugh Program, and we are ensconced firmly here behind the Golden EIB Microphone. The telephone number if you want to be on the program today: 800-282-2882. <\/p>\n

On January the 9th of this year — What would that be? Nineteen days ago — Barack Obama said, ‘There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jump-start the economy.\u2019 How would you interpret that? And, by the way, prior to that, he said, ‘Government is the only entity that can get this going.\u2019 Cookie, I\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t think of this until just now, but see if you can find that. I don\u2019t remember if that was an audio bite that we played or if it was a quote we took from somewhere. It was a quote out of the paper? I coulda sworn I saw him say it. I know I saw him. I don\u2019t know whether we had the sound bite. Cookie, search the archives. We\u2019ve got great archives. We got a really great archival system (and we back it up, by the way, so that we never lose it), but find it, when he said it. It was this month. ‘Government\u2019s the only entity could do this.\u2019 ‘Cause it relates to what\u2019s coming next.<\/p>\n

Then he said on January 9th, to repeat, ‘There is no disagreement that we need action by our government,\u2019 comma, ‘a recovery plan that will help to jump-start the economy.\u2019 Today, it\u2019s an entirely different tune. Today, Barack Obama morphed into Ronald Reagan. He stood aside from the podium while two CEOs, one from IBM and one from Honeywell, sang his praises. There were no small business people up there with him, just major corporate people, and of course IBM and Honeywell probably will benefit greatly from whatever government action there is, with Internet wiring and updating technology and computer networking and this sort of thing, but I don\u2019t want to<\/line><\/p>\n

besmirch the CEOs. I mean, this is a con game. They gotta go up there and pay the protection money, but they sang this guy\u2019s praises. ‘He\u2019s a great leader. Oh, this is going to be the greatest thing in the world,\u2019 and Obama got up there and sounded like Ronald Reagan.<\/p>\n

This, to me, is the signal that he knows he\u2019s in trouble. Now, he\u2019s not in trouble in terms of getting his bill eventually passed. But I\u2019ll tell you, more and more people are now starting to see that this is not a stimulus bill at all, it\u2019s what we\u2019ve been calling porkulus. It\u2019s just a standard budget bill that has a 30% increase in the budget, is what it is. It\u2019s all it is, and if you look, there\u2019s been a conservative analysis of the bill suggests that only 12&cent; of every dollar will go to genuine stimulus things like creating jobs and so forth. But they are part-time jobs. They\u2019re static jobs that have a start and end time. They\u2019re not career jobs, which is a big difference. And, of course, the news is getting out about just how filled with pork this is, how typical it is of the way Washington spends money. The Republicans in the House seem to be holding firm. <\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t need a Republican vote at all. I think the pressure… The result of the meeting was he knows he\u2019s in trouble \u2019cause he desperately wants Republican support, \u2019cause when this goes down the tubes, he wants to be able to say that all of Washington was complicit. He doesn\u2019t want Republicans to be able to run reelection campaigns in 2010 and 2012 saying they opposed this when we\u2019re in the mess that\u2019s even deeper than it is today. So he wants Republicans there. He doesn\u2019t want a repeat of what happened in 1993 where not one Republican voted for the Clinton budget, which then led to the Republicans\u2019, partly a factor, taking over the House in 1994. He doesn\u2019t need the Republicans at all. As I said yesterday, why in the world…? If this is so great, if this is so wonderful, if this package of his is going to reignite an economy like we\u2019ve never seen before, why wouldn\u2019t he want all the credit? <\/p>\n

Do you realize he could destroy the Republican Party forever? If his plan works, and none of them vote for it, can you imagine what he could say four years from now? It would be the end of the Republican Party. And if that\u2019s the case, why not do it? Because we know that in politics the objective is to wipe out your opponent. It just is. Well, the Democrat objective is. It used to be ours, but we\u2019re going to get that back. We\u2019re gonna get that back. So there\u2019s a lot going on here that is underneath the surface. We\u2019ve got perception galore today, because the picture that Obama wanted was these two CEOs and a bunch of other CEOs in the audience singing his praises, suggesting we\u2019ve gotta get this done. They\u2019re smiling, and they\u2019re talking about how competent he is, how open he is, how much he listens — and he goes out and sounds like Reagan.<\/p>\n

Then the Drive-Bys dutifully point out that while this wonderful Kumbaya meeting is going on in the White House; the evil, mean Republicans in the House are getting ready to vote ‘no\u2019 on the whole thing — and look who\u2019s for it! Why, American business is for it! So this is perception, and that\u2019s why he knows that he\u2019s in trouble here. He\u2019s not in trouble that this thing isn\u2019t going to pass someday. He\u2019s in trouble because he knows the Republicans are starting to stand firm and not join up with it. He\u2019s trying to create this perception here of using conservative language to advance his leftist agenda. It\u2019s a total… It really was pretty smart, and he\u2019s very good at creating this perception, \u2019cause that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happened. Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites and I\u2019ll show you what I mean here. The first one. This is a portion of his remark where Obama keeps his promise to meet with people that you wouldn\u2019t think would be on his team. He sat down with American business leaders today. Here\u2019s the first of two bites. A portion of his remarks.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I\u2019m very grateful that all of these individuals have taken the time to come. Uh, these are some of the leading, uh, CEOs in the country. These are people who make things, who hire people. They are… uh… on the front lines in seeing, uh, the enormous problems in our economy right now. Their ideas and their concerns have helped to shape our recovery package —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t buy that.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — and I\u2019m grateful that they\u2019re here today to talk about why it\u2019s so important that we act and act swiftly, uh, in order to get this economy back on track.<\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘Their ideas or concerns have helped to shape our recovery package\u2019? Unh-uh. I\u2019m not buying this, folks. This is not how business operates. Well, make sure. Maybe I\u2019m wrong. Business now does go to Washington with their hand out. They do. Here is Barack Obama, whose plan is pure Franklin Delano Roosevelt, pure New Deal, pure grow-government-as-large-and-as-fast-as-we-can, sounding like Ronaldus Magnus.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: In the end! The answer to our economic troubles rests less in my hands or in the hands of our legislators than it does with America\u2019s workers and the businesses that employ them. They are the ones whose efforts and ideas will determine our economic destiny just as they always have, for in the end it\u2019s businesses — large and small — that generate the jobs, provide the salaries, and serve as the foundation on which the American people\u2019s lives and dreams depend. All we can do, those of us here in Washington, is to help create a favorable climate in which workers can prosper, businesses can thrive, and our economy can grow.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Keep that in mind. Let\u2019s go back to January 8th, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe. Only government can break the cycle that are (sic — is) crippling our economy. That\u2019s why we need to act boldly and act now, to reverse these cycles. That\u2019s why we need to restart the flow of credit and restore the rules of the road that will ensure a crisis like this never happens again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s Barack Obama 20 days ago suggesting ‘only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep. Only government can break the cycle that are,\u2019 he said, ‘crippling our economy.\u2019 Play number 1A again, Mike. Keep in mind… In fact, I want to do this back to back. Let\u2019s do this chronological order. Play 19, and then 1A back to back, nothing in between. Are you ready? Here we go.<\/p>\n

OBAMA JANUARY 8: Only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe. Only government can break the cycle that are (sic — is) crippling our economy. That\u2019s why we need to act boldly and act now, to reverse these cycles. That\u2019s why we need to restart the flow of credit and restore the rules of the road that will ensure a crisis like this never happens again.<\/p>\n

OBAMA JANUARY 28: In the end, the answer to our economic troubles rests less in my hands or in the hands of our legislators than it does with America\u2019s workers and the businesses that employ them. They are the ones whose efforts and ideas will determine our economic destiny just as they always have, for in the end it\u2019s businesses — large and small — that generate the jobs, provide the salaries, and serve as the foundation on which the American people\u2019s lives and dreams depend. All we can do, those of us here in Washington, as to help create a favorable climate in which workers can prosper, businesses can thrive, and our economy can grow.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Can I translate that for you? That\u2019s right out of my mouth, except I say it in a different way. It\u2019s the people who make this country work. What government has to do is get out of their way, eliminate obstacles, regulations, cut their taxes, unleash the creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit born of individual freedom on which this country was founded and get out of the way. Let the economy recover and let it happen right before our very eyes. Now, I know what he told these business leaders. What you just heard is what he told the business leaders. Do you think — grab cut 19 — in his meeting with business leaders before this appearance today, he said this?<\/p>\n

OBAMA JANUARY 8: Only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe. Only government can break the cycle that are (sic — is) crippling our economy. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop tape!<\/p>\n

OBAMA JANUARY 8: That\u2019s why we need to act —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Or, did Barack Obama tell his business leaders this morning in his meeting the following?<\/p>\n

OBAMA JANUARY 28: In the end, the answer to our economic troubles rests less in my hands or in the hands of our legislators than it does with America\u2019s workers and the businesses that employ them. They are the ones whose efforts and ideas will determine our economic destiny just as they always have, for in the end it\u2019s businesses — large and small — that generate the jobs, provide the salaries, and serve as the foundation on which the American people\u2019s lives and dreams depend. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape! Blunt-force comment: He doesn\u2019t believe a word of what he said there, because his plan has none of this in it. Folks, there\u2019s a game going on here, a giant con game right out of Saul Alinsky\u2019s Rules for Radicals. It is clear that he is in trouble. He thinks he\u2019s in trouble in getting what he wants here. He\u2019s using conservative language to a conservative group of people to promote a socialist, leftist agenda. It\u2019s all intentional. It is all contrived. The key here is perception. He is creating perceptions. He\u2019s a likable guy. He speaks well. But he conceals his real politics with his language. So you\u2019ve heard two Barack Obamas separated by 20 days. You might say, ‘Well, how do we know which one\u2019s real?\u2019 Go look at the stimulus plan and tell me if you can find anything in there that does anything to strengthen business, to get government out of people\u2019s way. You will not. So what we just heard at the White House today was smoke and mirrors, a 100% show. And of course the Drive-By Media that analyzed it after it was over fell for it hook, line, and sinker. I, of course, didn\u2019t; which is why I remain Enemy #1. Pioneers take the arrows, folks, and I have a thick skin and am eager for them to keep aiming. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: ABC News, a blog, reported this exchange from the meeting Tuesday between Barack Obama and Republicans. Roscoe Bartlett, a Republican: ”Mr. President, I probably come at this from a slightly different perspective. I remember when FDR beat Hoover in 1932. So I remember the Great Depression very well. I don\u2019t remember any of the many government programs affecting the course of the Depression. Government programs didn\u2019t work then, I don\u2019t know why we think they would work now. Mr. President, I think our obsessive borrowing has fully mortgaged my kids and my grandkids. Now we\u2019re working on mortgaging my two great-grandkids. Mr. President, I think it\u2019s more than a little bit selfish to try to solve our economic problems which we created by burdening future generations yet to be born.\u2019 This prompted applause. ‘The only reason I am pursuing this plan is because if we don\u2019t get the economy moving again soon, the situation future generations will inherit will be worse,\u2019 the president said.\u2019<\/p>\n

So the Republicans in private (at least Roscoe Bartlett), some were standing up to The Messiah. This… (laughing) I have a really hilarious story here of audacity. It\u2019s on FoxNews.com, and try this headline: ‘Obama Urges GOP to Keep Politics to a Minimum on Stimulus — President Obama said he respects philosophical differences with Republicans but wants to keep politics to a minimum so they can get the economy back on track.\u2019 Now, this is audacious as you can get, suggests there is a minimum of politics in the biggest political stimulus plan in history? He wants to keep ideology out of this. No compromise, by the way, he said. No compromise on taxes. He said, ‘I won.\u2019 Now, one of the things that the Republicans have to do, it\u2019s not going to be sufficient just to say ‘no.\u2019 <\/p>\n

They have to have an alternative — and the alternative, obviously, must be rooted in conservatism. Now, as you know, ladies and gentlemen, earlier this week I presented to you my serious (and if I do say so, quite brilliant) bipartisan stimulus plan, the Obama-Limbaugh Bipartisan Stimulus Plan.<\/a> It took me an entire monologue to recite this to you. Essentially, it is to use the election returns as a means of dividing up what we do here. We have a trillion dollars that we\u2019re going to spend on this stimulus before it\u2019s all said and done. Obama gets 54% of the vote; McCain got 46%. So 54% of the trillion dollars, let Obama spend it however he wants. The 46% represents 460 billion of the trillion dollars. We on our side will begin a plan of immediate tax cuts. <\/p>\n

Capital gains tax cuts, perhaps even elimination of capital gains, slashing the corporate tax rate in half. Throw in some real estate tax relief as well. And we\u2019ll just see, side by side, which works. It would be true bipartisanship. It would be true compromise. I have reduced, ladies and gentlemen, that monologue to 750 words. As of now, it will run as an op-ed in tomorrow\u2019s Wall Street Journal, which is a perfect publication in which for it to run so that people in the business world see it. People are going to look at this perhaps and say it\u2019s an economic op-ed. It\u2019s not an economic op-ed. This is a political op-ed. But what\u2019s happening here is we\u2019re all getting sidetracked because this is not about the economy. It\u2019s about Big Government. It\u2019s not about creating private sector jobs. This whole dog and pony show today at the White House was a total sham.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Remember, folks: Despite the Reaganesque language from President Obama about 45 minutes ago, back on January 8th, he said only government can fix this, only government has the means, only government. Only government can do it. So it\u2019s pure perception today, trying to make it sound like you, the people who make the country work, are going to be the ones responsible. They\u2019re going to get outta your way and government\u2019s going to get out of your way. It\u2019s the exact opposite. This was pure perception. It\u2019s not about the economy. This whole stimulus bill is not about the economy. It really isn\u2019t. It\u2019s not about the economy at all. It\u2019s not about your job. It\u2019s about Big Government. It\u2019s not about creating private sector jobs, as the president intimated today; it\u2019s about expanding government jobs and expanding the size and reach of the Democrat Party. It\u2019s not about growing the economy. It\u2019s about controlling the individual. But he says what he says very well and a lot of times people don\u2019t care what he says. What he says doesn\u2019t matter; it\u2019s how he says it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCIRPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So I was in Mr. Snerdley\u2019s office at the top of the hour. It\u2019s always fun. It\u2019s always interesting going in there because Snerdley will say something that\u2019s a brain starter and he said, ‘You know, this stimulus bill, this is like you said. There\u2019s nothing stimulus! It\u2019s just a budget bill that\u2019s 30% larger than any budget bill we\u2019ve ever had.\u2019 It\u2019s just incredible. He said, ‘This is a reporter\u2019s dream, to go though this, and point out all this stuff that\u2019s in it, but nobody\u2019s doing that.\u2019 I just had to sigh (sighing) and I looked at him, and I said, ‘Don\u2019t you get it yet? They don\u2019t care what\u2019s in it! It\u2019s His, with a capital ‘H.\u2019 It\u2019s Obama\u2019s, and all that matters is that it passes.\u2019 You see, ladies and gentlemen, we are in a paradigm in which everything rotten in this country, George W. Bush is responsible for it — and this is Change! This is the Change! This is the New! <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s good, and so it doesn\u2019t matter what\u2019s in it. It\u2019s Obama\u2019s and it\u2019s got to pass. They\u2019re not going to break this stuff down. He\u2019s too big to fail. Snerdley, I\u2019m stunned that you still have this lingering expectation that the media will perform its constitutional task. Why do you still think that? There is no way they\u2019re going to perform their constitutional task here. It is up to me to hijack the Obama honeymoon, and I\u2019ve done it! We have hijacked Obama\u2019s honeymoon. Do you realize, folks, he\u2019s supposed to get a hundred days of a free pass? How are we hijacking it? Well, if you missed Obama\u2019s little appearance today in the White House with big corporate CEOs — who I thought were the enemy, by the way. I thought Big This and Big That, I thought they were the dirty, rotten scoundrels that had caused all this, but there\u2019s Obama meeting with them, and I watched it. <\/p>\n

Obama sounded like Ronald Reagan. It was pure perception. He\u2019s using conservative language to sell his socialist, leftist agenda — and, remember, it\u2019s not what he says, it\u2019s how he says it. So I remembered earlier this month, he said something the exact opposite. Twenty days ago, Barack Obama was speaking at some university, talking about the necessary to get this going quick, and he said that ‘only government\u2019 can get this done. So here\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do. We\u2019re going to play Obama from January 8th and right behind it we\u2019re going to play Obama from this morning — bam, bam, side by side, back-to-back, just to illustrate the different Obamas there are. And I maintain to you today that reason Obama went out there and sounded Reaganesque — and, by the way, it sorta irritated me a little bit because we don\u2019t have a Republican who will do it. We don\u2019t have a conservative in the media who will go out and sound Reaganesque. Our conservative media people are suggesting the era of Reagan is over, and yet here is President Obama using Reaganesque language today to try to move his proposal forward while be surrounded by a bunch of big business CEOs. Here are the two sound bites. <\/p>\n

OBAMA JANUARY 8: Only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe. Only government can break the cycle that are (sic — is) crippling our economy. That\u2019s why we need to act boldly and act now, to reverse these cycles. That\u2019s why we need to restart the flow of credit and restore the rules of the road that will ensure a crisis like this never happens again.<\/p>\n

OBAMA JANUARY 28: All we can do, those of us here in Washington, is to help create a favorable climate in which workers can prosper, businesses can thrive, and our economy can grow.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is that it? I thought there was more to 1A. Do we have a computer problem up there? Okay. Well, anyway, that\u2019s the nub of it. So you heard Obama say, 20 days ago, only government can do this. ‘Only government can provide the boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe.\u2019 Today he says, ‘In the end, the answer to our economic troubles rests less in my hands or in the hands of our legislators than it does with America\u2019s workers and the businesses they employ.\u2019 He went on to say that they\u2019re the ones whose efforts and ideas will determine our economic destiny just as they always have. So he\u2019s saying what I\u2019ve always said. You\u2019re the ones who make the country work; his job is to get out of the way. <\/p>\n

Twenty days ago, Barack Obama says, you are a nonfactor. You have nothing to do! Only government can do it. This, I believe, indicates that he thinks he is in some trouble, not in getting a bill, but in getting Republican support for it. He desperately wants cover on it. He desperately wants Republicans to vote for this so that when it bombs out Republicans have no electoral advantage or reelection advantage because he doesn\u2019t want them to be able to go out and say they opposed it, that they knew it wouldn\u2019t work. He doesn\u2019t deserve that cover. He\u2019s not giving the Republicans anything. He\u2019s rejected the notion of tax cuts. He\u2019s rejected any of their ideas and he\u2019s lauded it over them by saying, ‘I\u2019m going to trump you on that, Congressman Cantor. I won. I\u2019m going to trump you on tax cuts. I don\u2019t believe that\u2019s the way to go.\u2019<\/p>\n

He\u2019s throwing some little tidbit tax cuts in there that are not stimulative and such just to be able to say so. Let\u2019s not forget, here\u2019s another thing. How did Barack Obama end up winning the election? He ran on what, ladies and gentlemen? He ran on tax cuts: 95% of the American people were going to receive tax cuts. We know, just as has been the case for every Democrat, when it comes down to nut-cracking down, when it comes to getting over the hump and winning, you go conservative. You go Reaganesque. You talk about tax cuts for 95% of the American people. Today you talk about how you, the people, are the ones that are going to make this work. We\u2019re gonna get out of your way. We\u2019ve always determined the state of this economy, and you will in my new plan, which is…<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry, folks, it\u2019s a lie. Barack Obama is lying, because I happen to believe that what he said 20 days ago is what\u2019s operative, because it matches identically the plan that they\u2019re trying to get through the House today and later on through the Senate. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, you have sound bite number 1A ready to go in its entirety? Okay, so I want to do 19 and 1A. We want to do Obama 20 days ago, Obama this morning, back-to-back, straight into the commercial break. Here we go. <\/p>\n

OBAMA JANUARY 8: Only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe. Only government can break the cycle that are (sic — is) crippling our economy. That\u2019s why we need to act boldly and act now, to reverse these cycles. That\u2019s why we need to restart the flow of credit and restore the rules of the road that will ensure a crisis like this never happens again.<\/p>\n

OBAMA JANUARY 28: In the end, the answer to our economic troubles rests less in my hands or in the hands of our legislators than it does with America\u2019s workers and the businesses that employ them. They are the ones whose efforts and ideas will determine our economic destiny just as they always have, for in the end it\u2019s businesses — large and small — that generate the jobs, provide the salaries, and serve as the foundation on which the American people\u2019s lives and dreams depend. All we can do, those of us here in Washington, as to help create a favorable climate in which workers can prosper, businesses can thrive, and our economy can grow.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I also… My memory, ladies and gentlemen, is dancing quite rapidly here. Snerdley, help me out. Didn\u2019t Obama say at some point that he would not sign a stimulus bill that had a lot of pork in it? He said line by line, he will not sign a stimulus bill that has pork in it — and 80% of this bill is pork!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
