I think it was at the St. Francis hotel, Union Square. And what happened, a tea party broke out, a tea party! At Gateway Pundit there are pictures of literally hundreds of protesters across the street from the hotel where Obama went in San Francisco. Now, they were leftist protesters, they were rightist protesters, but there weren\u2019t any riots among the protesters. They were all focusing their anger at Obama. He\u2019s inside and a $34,000-a-couple fundraiser for the Democrat National Committee after four hours in New Orleans, and it was basically a flyover. Remember, folks, I told you yesterday what that trip to New Orleans was about. You know, Obama said, oh, if I could write you a check I would. You can! You have written $1.4 trillion worth of checks for money that you don\u2019t have. What do you mean if you could write a check you would? What\u2019s going on in New Orleans, what\u2019s going on in Michigan and Detroit, that\u2019s where we\u2019re all headed if this guy succeeds, this is where we are headed. <\/p>\n<p>He goes into New Orleans and looks at this and says, ooh, okay, I see what my agenda is going to bring to the rest of the country. You think he cares? Remember in San Francisco at a fundraiser where he talked about you, the bitter clingers. In times like this you seek solace in your religion &#8212; ooh, pew &#8212; and your guns &#8212; ooh, yuk. He\u2019s an arrogant elitist but hell, there\u2019s a piece in Harpers, I mean they\u2019re way over there on the left along with everybody else in the media, Harpers has got a big, long column: Is this guy really that smart or is he just plain stupid? The libs are attacking this guy from all over the place. You don\u2019t hear about it in too many places but I got evidence of it here in the stack. Let\u2019s step back for a moment, shall we, and examine situations where Obama has found success, and in each of these instances, Obama\u2019s success begins and ends with corrupting the voting process, and not just the November elections. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll mention me first. The process where bids are taken for NFL owners to vote on new owners, the vote process has been totally corrupted. Votes for the Nobel Peace Prize; packing boards of directors; General Motors and Chrysler; legislation in Congress; card check; the Democrat caucus votes during primaries and the November elections, any time a vote is involved, Barack Obama or his proxies will stop at nothing to delegitimize the voting process and that\u2019s primarily what ACORN is all about. Corruption in the voting process is the one constant to Obama\u2019s success. He either clears the field of opposition or, if the opposition doesn\u2019t go away then they corrupt the voting process. Organizing the corrupt votes of all kinds and then embracing democracy, honest and informed elections will produce a negative result for Obama so his focus is fixated on corrupting and disrupting elections. <\/p>\n<p>Look, folks, more and more pollsters are pointing out &#8212; George Will is the latest one, he\u2019s a columnist &#8212; but more and more pollsters are pointing out the big problems the Democrats have in the 2010 elections. The Senate and the House both, and George Will points out this is why they\u2019re running like bats out of hell to get all this done before Obama loses his majorities and particularly his 60 votes in the Senate. That\u2019s why they are in a race to get all of this corrupt legislation signed into law, this liberty-busting, freedom-busting and economy-busting legislation passed into law. They\u2019re going to have much more trouble getting it done if they don\u2019t have those 60 votes in the Senate and in some of these things they don\u2019t have the 60 votes now. So there\u2019s a pattern. If there is a vote involved Obama and his associates will find a way to infect the process, from the NFL all the way down to the November elections. The State-Controlled Media will propagandize information related to the vote and then look the other way when laws have been broken and the process has been compromised. And after the fraud and corruption have garnered the desired result, then legitimacy is claimed and a mandate is claimed. Oh, goody goody goody. <\/p>\n<p>Corrupting the voting process is how Obama wins elections, organizes unions, destroys the private sector, and it is how he governs. This story, Charlotte, North Carolina, this is just amazing: &#8216;Bank of America Corp. said Friday it lost more than $2 billion in the third quarter as loan losses kept rising.\u2019 Now, wait a minute. I thought the economy was back from the brink. I thought everything was fine. I thought we had turned a corner on this. Now, that\u2019s an AP story. The Reuters story: &#8216;Bank of America\u2019s Lewis gives up 2009 salary and bonus at the urging of the pay czar.\u2019 Now, listen to the AP lead on this story: &#8216;Bank of America Corp. said Friday it lost more than $2 billion in the third quarter as loan losses kept rising, providing further evidence that consumers are still struggling to pay their bills.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125114.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright\"\/>There\u2019s a story on one of the networks today that food banks are being overwhelmed by people. I don\u2019t think it is being accurately reported just how bad it is out there. People cannot find work. Obama said, oh, I wish I could write you a check, New Orleans. Why don\u2019t you? You\u2019re writing checks for everybody else that matters to you. And now AP reporting, &#8216;Well, you know, the number of jobless claims are much lower than expected, experts shocked and stunned.\u2019 Still have 10% unemployment on the way, all the way \u2019til 2012, consumers still struggling to pay their bills. Here\u2019s the thing, this guy, Ken Lewis, the CEO, was railroaded out of B&amp;amp;A. As I understand it &#8212; and somebody correct me if I\u2019m wrong here &#8212; but as I understand it, Ken Lewis did not want to do the Merrill Lynch deal. It says in the article that I saw last night that his pay salary is being removed because the Merrill Lynch &#8212; he didn\u2019t want to do it, he was strong-armed into absorbing Merrill Lynch by Paulson, by Bernanke, and by Geithner, his business sense said, no, we got no business absorbing Merrill Lynch but they made him do it in order to save Merrill. They let Lehman Brothers go. That was the only one they were going to let go. <\/p>\n<p>Then Merrill\u2019s bonus deals came out in public, deals that Ken Lewis had nothing to do with, I believe, and now he\u2019s the goat. They\u2019re making Ken Lewis the goat and he opposed the policies that have created so much trouble for Bank of America here. He\u2019s the fall guy, or at least the first fall guy. This bunch, the Obama team will come up with as many fall guys as they need in order to protect themselves. I wonder if Bank of America would be doing better if their CEO were getting a salary. Can you believe this? They force him to do things he advised against, they\u2019re losing money, they\u2019re going to punish him, no bonus or salary for 2009 from the Obama pay czar, in the United States of America. I know I\u2019d feel better if the guy had some incentive. If I was a customer of Bank of America, and my CEO is being punished for something he didn\u2019t do and is being railroaded and not being paid, I\u2019m going to think, &#8216;Well, what kind of incentive is there inside the walls of this bank to get anything done?\u2019 I know Obama thinks everybody should work for free, but compensation exists for a reason. &#8216;Pay czar urges bank guy to give up salary.\u2019 And if the pay czar can urge the bank guy to give up his salary, then none of us, ladies and gentlemen, are safe. And Barney Frank has intimated that he thinks businesses that are not taking federal money should have their compensation regulated by him and the government as well.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Grant in College Station, Texas. Welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you, Rush, and mega fighting Texas Aggies dittos from Texas A&amp;amp;M University.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, as you stated earlier, the Great Messiah is gracing us with his presence here today in College Station, and we have been &#8216;encouraged\u2019 to not protest and to be polite to the president as he is coming into town.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a second.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And, you know, I admit, you know, having a president come to the university is a great honor, whoever the president is. But at no point should we be told to not protest when we get a chance to voice our opinions to the man who is making these decisions.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, who is it that has issued this dictum?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, we received a letter from our student body president saying that, and there was an open letter from former President George H.W. Bush who is giving him the award.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: George&#8230;? Wait, wait, wait, wait. The student body president, male or female?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Male.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. George H.W. Bush actually sent a note asking for civil order and no protests against Obama?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well. Now, this is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They don\u2019t want things getting out of control because they\u2019re scared after the election when young &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I mean the dirty little secret, Texas is ready to secede from the nation because of Obama!<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Texas at any time Obama country.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, so what are you going to do?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: We\u2019re protesting. That\u2019s all it comes down to. It\u2019s all right and we\u2019re going to do it because we finally have the chance to voice the opinions to the man who is screwing us up.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Man, I can\u2019t believe this. Well, I can totally believe it but I wonder if any such order like this went out when Bush was headed anywhere. Nooooo! &#8216;We must protect our little Obama! We must protect his image. We can\u2019t have pictures of protesters. We just can\u2019t have that. Put \u2019em in the parking lot. We can\u2019t have this kind of insolence and lack of respect for the Dear Leader. They don\u2019t do it in Korea; we shouldn\u2019t do it in Texas. They don\u2019t protest Castro in Cuba. We should we do it here in America? And you\u2019d never get a way with this in Moscow. If you protest Putin, you\u2019re gonna find yourself in a jail where you bleed to death. No, we certainly can\u2019t do that here in Texas.\u2019 Thanks for the update.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Barack Obama last night in San Francisco, after a four-hour touch and go in New Orleans, where residents in a town hall said, &#8216;Why are you nickeling and diming us?\u2019 Obama is out there&#8230; In fact before we go to 18 and 19, let\u2019s see. Yeah. Number nine, number nine and then we\u2019ll do 18 and nine. This is a Q&amp;amp;A with an audience member, &#8216;My question is regarding FEMA reimbursements. Why is it four years after Katrina and we\u2019re still fighting with the federal government for money to repair our devastated city?\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125114.Par.74807.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignright\"\/>OBAMA: Now, I wish I could just write a check. You know, yuh, yuh&#8230; You say, &#8216;Why not?\u2019 (laughing) There\u2019s this whole thing about the Constitution and Congress &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>FOLLOWERS: (smattering of laughter)<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: &#8212; and, you know, I, uhhh &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It doesn\u2019t matter to you!<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Not to mention the fact that, you know, I always&#8230; Y-y\u2019know, one of the interesting things you find out about being president is everybody will attack you for spending money, unless you\u2019re spending it on them. So we\u2019ve gotta go through procedures. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Whoa, man!<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: I make no excuses for the fact that the federal government did not work effectively with state and local governments immediately in the aftermath of the storm. To make sure that everybody got the help they needed right away.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Whoa! &#8216;I wish I could write you a check.\u2019 You can! You\u2019re writing everybody else checks for money that we don\u2019t have. &#8216;Well, there\u2019s this thing called the Constitution and Congress.\u2019 When does that stop you? The Constitution is in his way? He\u2019s not letting the Constitution get in his way on anything else. And there are &#8216;procedures\u2019? None of this stood in George Bush\u2019s way, did it? None of these things were excuses for George Bush. Were they? So, they gave him the Nobel prize. Well, that won\u2019t buy much, he doesn\u2019t have that yet. That\u2019s going to get eaten up with the travel costs going over there. Oh, well. Anyway, after the fly-by in New Orleans, he then went out to San Francisco whining about George Bush\u2019s mess that he has to clean up.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: What I reject is when some folks decide to sit on the sidelines and root for failure on health care or on energy or on our economy &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He\u2019s talking &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: What I reject is when some folks say (snickering) we should go back for the past policies when it was the very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Whiner.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: By the way, putting it as, you know, I\u2019m busy, Nancy\u2019s busy with our &#8212; with our mop cleaning up somebody else\u2019s mess, we don\u2019t want somebody sitting back saying, &#8216;You\u2019re not holding the mop the right way.\u2019 Why don\u2019t you grab a mob? Why don\u2019t you help clean up? &#8216;You\u2019re not mopping fast enough. That\u2019s a socialist mop.\u2019 Grab the mop. Let\u2019s get to work.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We are getting to him, folks. We are getting to him. &#8216;I\u2019m tired of hearing this. I don\u2019t want to hear people say, folks, is trying to sit on the sideline, root for failure.\u2019 Root for failure? (laughing) There\u2019s only one again that\u2019s done that. That\u2019s why my little scheme that I\u2019m hatching that I let you in on in the first hour of the program &#8212; I\u2019m going to decide one day out of the blue to come out and ask you to follow me along on this where I come out in total support of Obama\u2019s policies &#8212; because the media will drop him immediately since they hate me so much. Now, this business, &#8216;Nancy, we\u2019re busy!\u2019 they dump on Bush. (crying) And he using Nancy\u2019s mop here. And then he says, &#8216;You\u2019re not holding the mop the right way.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Well, there is a right way to hold a mop! If you are trying to mop up a mess with the handle of the mop, and you\u2019re holding the actual mop &#8212; and, by the way, is he talking about the Massive Ordnance Penetrator here which is the new bunker-buster bomb from the Pentagon? Man! You know, you can\u2019t take it, they can\u2019t take it. When he\u2019s with his buddies, $34,000 a couple, yes, he lets fly! &#8216;They hurt my feelings! They say I\u2019m not doing anything. They want me to fail. I\u2019m using the wrong end of the mop. It\u2019s a socialist map. Wah, wah, wah! Bush, I hate Bush!\u2019 By the way, let\u2019s go back, May 7th, 2006, Meet the Press, Tim Russert talking to Pelosi. He said here\u2019s the numbers in terms of lobbyist contributions. From 2004 to \u201906, lobbyists gave Republicans 20 million, Democrats 17.8. Both parties get their money from lobbyists.<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: Well, let me say this. Our party is standing for honest leadership and open government. We will turn the most corrupt Congress in history [in]to the most honest and open Congress. And maybe it will take a woman to clean up the House. Maybe that\u2019s what we\u2019ll have to have.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How is that working for everybody? So I guess that\u2019s the &#8216;mop\u2019 that Obama was referring to: Nancy Pelosi cleaning up the House with her little mop.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Obama blaming Bush for his mess, complaining about it? Don\u2019t forget Obama voted for all of the Bush spending as a Senator. He mentioned Katrina four times in his book Audacity of Hope, talking about how not enough was done before or after Katrina to help inner-city poverty. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites.
