Obama is bad for business and poison to prosperity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This swine flu, folks&#8230; Let me tell you something: It\u2019s nothing to worry about. I\u2019m not going to worry about this outbreak until Fox News puts Geraldo Rivera on 24 hours a day to cover it. Well, Geraldo Rivera is the grim reaper.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Surgeon General doesn\u2019t even perform surgery. I have yet to see the Surgeon General in this country in my lifetime actually operate on anybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The media tried to tell us Obama was a centrist. He is not. Some conservatives told us Obama was a centrist. He\u2019s not. In fact, Obama\u2019s figured out, folks, something very, very easy to figure out: He can say anything without challenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love this prompter, because every now and then this prompter just shows Obama who the boss is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay, so David Brooks and Charlie Rose think that we\u2019ve got a very competent manager here in Barack Obama, and a brilliant president. All right, how many tax cheats are in his cabinet? Last time I counted, it was five.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know who the easiest marks for demagogues are? Elites. People who are impressed with their own resumes and intelligence.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is not very reassuring when Obama says, &#8216;If somebody\u2019s asking you for money up front, it\u2019s probably a scam.\u2019 It\u2019s <emphasize>probably <\/emphasize>a scam? What does that mean?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Somebody said, &#8216;What if you kiss a pig? Will you get pig flu then?\u2019 Why would you want to kiss a pig? Who in the world is kissing pigs? Ah, yes, maybe the same people who lick frogs, but I don\u2019t know that there is any hallucinogenic value in kissing a pig.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&#8220;I am not a prisoner of my subconscious because I have no emotion.
