RUSH: Do you remember, ladies and gentlemen, all during the last three or four years of the Bush administration, the Patriot Act and the warrantless wiretaps and so forth, the left was crying and moaning and wailing about the loss of civil liberties, freedom, privacy? Bush was spying on them. Bush was listening into their phone calls. From CNETNews.com: The federal government is pushing for the tracking of cell phones. ‘Two years ago, when the FBI was stymied by a band of armed robbers known as the ‘Scarecrow Bandits\u2019 that had robbed more than 20 Texas banks, it came up with a novel method of locating the thieves. FBI agents obtained logs from mobile phone companies corresponding to what their cellular towers had recorded at the time of a dozen different bank robberies in the Dallas area. The voluminous records showed that two phones had made calls around the time of all 12 heists, and that those phones belonged to\u2019 two men they were able to identify. <\/p>\n

‘A jury eventually convicted the duo of multiple bank robbery and weapons charges. … [T]he Obama administration has argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no ‘reasonable expectation of privacy\u2019 in their — or at least their cell phones\u2019 — whereabouts. US Department of Justice lawyers say that ‘a customer\u2019s Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records\u2019 that show where a mobile device placed and received calls.\u2019 Quite understandably here, the ACLU is alarmed. They\u2019re very much concerned as are ‘other civil liberties groups, which have opposed the Justice Department\u2019s request and plan to tell the US Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia that Americans\u2019 privacy deserves more protection and judicial oversight than what the administration has proposed.\u2019<\/p>\n

Every day — every day! — we learn of something new. I just had a bunch of people come in say to hello, and they said, ‘You know, you\u2019ve been doing this 20 years. You probably do it just like clockwork now. You\u2019ve got a formula down.\u2019 I said, ‘No, no, no, no. It is harder than ever to do this because when I first started this program I could prep it with three to five newspapers. Now with the Internet out there, news is being made every minute. I have to keep up with it, have to be able to multitask,\u2019 and then I said, ‘Besides, every 20 minutes Obama launches another assault on this country.\u2019 Three of them laughed and one of them frowned, and I said to myself, ‘Home run.\u2019 But it\u2019s true: ‘Feds Push for Tracking Cellphones.\u2019 All of you leftists were so worried about George Bush spying on you, trying to get cameras in your bedroom, and listening to your phone calls?<\/p>\n

Now your guy, Barack Obama, wants to be able to monitor and track you via your cell phone — and, if necessary, be able to get records of where you\u2019ve been. Same thing with your library books. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I don\u2019t use a cell phone. You know, I have a cell phone but never make a call on it. Sometimes I text with it. But I never use it. I hate the phone anyway as you well know. But they can still track it even if it\u2019s off. Even if your phone\u2019s off, it\u2019s still sending out a signal. You have to take the battery out of it in order to not be tracked — and of course if you have an iPhone you can\u2019t take the battery out of it. You can\u2019t get in there. Not yet. Check it out, Snerdley. I know I am right about this. Don\u2019t doubt me. You have to take the battery out to avoid being tracked. The cell tower still knows where your phone is. I\u2019m sure Apple knows this. (laughing) Yes, I\u2019m sure Apple\u2019s not the only one you can\u2019t take… Well, I don\u2019t think they\u2019re the only one.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, Iran. They\u2019re out there proclaiming that they are now ‘a nuclear state.\u2019 The Nutty Near-Professor, Barack Obama, said the United States cannot ‘tolerate\u2019 a nuclear Iran. Do you remember this? He also said that we can\u2019t ‘isolate\u2019 them because that will accelerate their efforts to get nuclear weapons, but he just imposed sanctions on the affiliates of Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard. Now, then again, Professor Obama said that he would create between 3-1\/2 and 4 million jobs (with 90% coming in the private sector) if his slush fund was passed. He said he would close Club Gitmo in a year — and has given a terrorist Miranda rights after saying this two months after his inauguration Obama reiterated: ‘Do these folks deserve Miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block?\u2019 Of course not! <\/p>\n

And then he proceeds to give one of these ‘folks, ‘the Fruit of Kaboom Bomber, Miranda rights — and he continues to call them ‘folks.\u2019 These terrorists — the ‘folks.\u2019 Yeah, has anybody told Bill O\u2019Reilly about this yet? Because Bill O\u2019Reilly owns the term ‘folks.\u2019 Bill O\u2019Reilly is looking out for ‘the folks\u2019 and here\u2019s Obama now appropriating the term for his own self and referring to terrorists as ‘the folks.\u2019 This is going to confuse O\u2019Reilly\u2019s audience: Who are the folks? Also Obama said his number one focus this year was jobs and then calls for a summit on his health care plan. He said he was post-partisan. He said bankers were crooks. Then he said bankers were ‘savvy.\u2019 You do not believe the CYA that is going on at the Huffington Post over this, this business of saying, ‘Hey, I love these guys at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase! They\u2019re savvy business guys. I\u2019m all for people getting wealthy in this country. I got no problem at all with these bonuses.\u2019 They were livid, fit to be tied yesterday. But now the CYA has begun to suggest that this is not out of the ordinary for what Obama has said. So now Senator Nutty Professor Obama on Iran. In a debate lecture during the campaign, he said that we ‘will not tolerate a nuclear Iran,\u2019 and he said ‘our efforts of isolation have actually accelerated their efforts to get nuclear weapons.\u2019 He was criticizing Bush, which is strange because Obama just imposed sanctions on affiliates of Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard. Sanctions don\u2019t isolate? Much less work? (laughing) As we are learning. (sigh) So every day… <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the fourth Obama story inside of ten minutes. This is from Bloomberg, and I want you people who make less than $250,000 a year to listen to this. ‘President Barack Obama said he is ‘agnostic\u2019 about raising taxes on households making less than $250,000 as part of a broad effort to rein in the budget deficit.\u2019 Agnostic? What in the world does he mean by ‘agnostic\u2019? I\u2019m wondering if… This is what happens when this guy doesn\u2019t have a teleprompter. When they turn him loose for the Bloomberg interview, he gums it all up and creates a panic inside the White House and over at the Huffing and Puffington Post, and now he says he is ‘agnostic\u2019 about raising taxes? Does he mean ‘antagonistic\u2019? Agnostic? Now, ‘Obama, in a Feb. 9 Oval Office interview, said that a presidential commission on the budget needs to consider all options for reducing the deficit, including tax increases and cuts in spending on entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. ‘The whole point of it is to make sure that all ideas are on the table,\u2019 the president said in the interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, which will appear on newsstands Friday. ‘So what I want to do is to be completely agnostic, in terms of solutions.” Agnostic? Of course the tax increases are going to happen, folks. We\u2019ve been telling you this since before he was inaugurated. There will not be any cuts in entitlement spending. The Democrats will not allow it. There will not be any cuts in Social Security or any of that. It will be loudly talked about, a whole lot wailing, a lot of gnashing of teeth but it will never be seriously considered. So, anyway, you\u2019re on the hook now. Those of you under $250,000 a year, a tax increase is now coming your way. It always was. If you believed it wasn\u2019t, you have just been snookered once again.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I went to my trusty dictionary on my cell phone, ladies and gentlemen, to look up the word ‘agnostic\u2019 and I had a suspicion here that I was right. ‘Agnostic,\u2019 basically Obama\u2019s voting ‘present\u2019 when he says that he is ‘agnostic\u2019 about raising taxes on the middle class. It means that he is unwilling to commit to an opinion about something. So he is an agnostic. He has no opinion on the matter. This is the same as voting ‘present\u2019 on a middle class tax increase, meaning he\u2019s gonna leave it up to his commission and other advisors and the Democrats in Congress. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Obama himself. Here\u2019s this quote from February 24th last year. February 24th, 2009, this is to his first joint appearance before Congress.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Let me be absolutely clear, because I knooow you\u2019ll end up hearing some of the same claims that rolling back these tax breaks means a massive tax increase on the American people. If your family earns less than $250,000 a year — a quarter million dollars a year — you will not see your taxes increased a single dime.<\/p>\n

CONGRESS: (applause)<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I repeat: Not one single dime.<\/p>\n

RUSH: One year ago!<\/p>\n

OBAMA: In fact…<\/p>\n

CONGRESS: (applause)<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Not a dime!<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, all right, all right, all right. February 24th, 2009, President Obama, joint session of Congress, ‘Let me be absolutely clear… If your family earns less than … a quarter million dollars a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime.\u2019 Yesterday he said he\u2019s ‘agnostic\u2019 about it, which means he has no opinion anymore about it, which means he\u2019s open to it, which means everybody that voted for this guy on that basis has now just been screwed and lied to. Although we tried to tell all of you people in this category that you were going to pay the lion\u2019s share of any tax increase because there are more of you than any other category. There are more people in the middle class — it\u2019s still true, even though Obama is doing his best to wipe \u2019em out. There are still more people in the middle class than there are rich, more people in the middle class than there are poor. So say hello to your Obama tax increase that you were assured one year ago would not happen. David ‘Rodham\u2019 Gergen says that Obama is in crisis.<\/p>\n

GERGEN: We are seeing the president descend, almost slow-motion, into a crisis. He\u2019s been pounded over the last 24 hours, uh, from left and right. The labor leaders jumped on him today for inaction on the labor agenda. We learned today that in his meeting yesterday with congressional leaders and talking about a jobs bill it was Nancy Pelosi who said, ‘Mr. President, I don\u2019t think this is going to work.\u2019 Paul Krugman from the New York Times called President Obama ‘clueless,\u2019 and of course there are new polls out, the latest ABC\/Washington Post which show this arc downward. If you look at the averages of the polls in recent days his disapproval rating had almost passed his approval rating for the first time. So, uh, these are dangerous times for this president.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wolf Blitzer still has not reported, by the way, the falling approval ratings of the president. We\u2019ve been keeping a sharp eye. ‘Obama in crisis.\u2019 If David Gergen thinks it, everybody in Washington does. Guaranteed.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: A friend reminds me in an e-mail flash about Obama and ‘agnostic.\u2019 He\u2019s saying he\u2019s ‘agnostic\u2019 because he pretended to be against taxing health benefits during the campaign. He went after McCain because McCain was in favor of it, as part of an overhaul that would have reduced costs (according to McCain), and so here comes Obama railing against that. Now, here\u2019s the thing: Obama knows if he comes out now and says he is for a middle class tax increase or taxing health care benefits, he\u2019s gonna get creamed for flip-flopping. So now he\u2019s gotta say he\u2019s got an open mind. He\u2019s voting ‘present.\u2019 He has an open mind. If the Democrats suggest it, he\u2019s gotta take a look at it. So he\u2019s not for it; he\u2019s not against it. He\u2019s going to wait and see what happens. But remember: All along, folks — all along — he was going to raise taxes. It\u2019s part and parcel of the redistribution of wealth that he assured Joe the Plumber he was going to do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: To the phones, Karen in Las Vegas. It\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello. I had to laugh because ‘agnostic\u2019 — you keep talking about agnostic — is Greek. It\u2019s a Greek word. It means ‘to not know.\u2019 But if you translate agnostic into Latin, it\u2019s ‘ignoramus.\u2019 So he\u2019s saying (doing Obama impression), ‘I\u2019m an ignoramus on taxes.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Thought I\u2019d share that with you. No kidding! Look it up. I mean, I laughed my butt off when I heard him talking about being ‘agnostic\u2019 on taxes. Oh, he\u2019s an ignoramus all right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, I\u2019ll tell you what. Let me tell you something. This guy is so arrogant, he\u2019s afraid. He doesn\u2019t want to be accused of flip-flopping. That\u2019s why he\u2019s not coming out for these tax increases.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He thinks if he says, ‘I\u2019m agnostic\u2019 — or ‘I\u2019m an ignoramus on it,\u2019 or ‘I can go either way; it depends on what I\u2019m advised to do\u2019 — he can escape the flip-flopper aspect. But I\u2019ve read a lot of things in the show prep the last couple days, and there are more and more people — Joe Klein at TIME Magazine, any number of liberal commentators — who have now started insulting the American people as too stupid to understand what\u2019s going on. Some are saying there\u2019s too much democracy now with the tea parties (actually they call them the ‘tea baggers\u2019). There\u2019s too much democracy. Now, there wasn\u2019t too much democracy when Obama was running his campaign, but there\u2019s too much democracy now. You know, back in the mid-nineties when this program was about all there was (other talk shows were just getting started; Fox News was on the horizon), TIME Magazine asked: ‘Is There Too Much Democracy?\u2019 That\u2019s what the left always does, and they\u2019re always insulting you. <\/p>\n

You\u2019re too dense to understand how brilliant a president you have. You\u2019re too dense to involve yourself in supporting your government. It is hilarious to read, and I guarantee you that Obama and his people are among the elites who think that you are stupid. Why wouldn\u2019t they? They fooled enough people to get elected! They\u2019re sitting back there behind closed doors. They know exactly who they are. They know exactly what their plans are. They know they went out and lied through their teeth and created this false image during the campaign. Why wouldn\u2019t they think voters are stupid? There\u2019s no question they do. So now they\u2019re relying on your stupidity to forget that Obama ever said, ‘If you make less than 250 you\u2019ll not see one dime of tax increase.\u2019 He\u2019s already flip-flopped by saying he\u2019s an ignoramus about it, that he\u2019s ‘agnostic.\u2019 He\u2019s already flip-flopped, and this isn\u2019t going to help matters.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Bob in Newport Beach, California. Welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. It\u2019s a pleasure to speak with you, finally.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER (garbled cell): Hey, regarding this comment by Obama some time ago where he thinks that families making less than $250,000 are not — they\u2019re not going to suffer not one [dime] of tax increase, that statement, there\u2019s a lot of people that take refuge in that statement, however that statement is very muddy and I have to really believe that that\u2019s an intentional muddiness. Because the word ‘make\u2019 or ‘makes\u2019 or ‘making\u2019 doesn\u2019t exist in tax code as a legal definition. So if you think about your 1040, the first page is income. The top portion is gross income, then there\u2019s adjustments to the income, then you have something called the (garbled). I think that\u2019s on line 22. The second page is a carryover of AGI, and then they apply itemized deductions to that to reduce your AGI to come to something that\u2019s called ‘taxable income.\u2019 Well, there\u2019s no limitations to how they can apply any new taxes. So people making 250,000 or less, taxes could be formed, they could assess it against gross, they could assess it against AGI, they could assess it against taxable. There\u2019s no limitations. So I\u2019m highly suspicious about, even, Obama\u2019s statement. (cell static)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know what? Your assessment here is a little bit more complicated than what we have to do to synchronize my voice with the video output on the HD Dittocam.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: What it boils down to is: He\u2019s going to raise taxes on everybody.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And when he runs around and says, ‘If you make $250,000 a year,\u2019 people are thinking gross there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. People are thinking gross, but they could be… No, people are thinking taxable income. The mistake is that he could assess it — without wording, he could assess it — to AGI.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: There\u2019s a huge difference between AGI and taxable. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Sometimes as much as 50%.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But the bottom line is, the bottom line is he\u2019s now ‘agnostic\u2019 about it. The bottom line is he\u2019s now, ‘Oh, I don\u2019t know.\u2019 After promising this wouldn\u2019t happen, he\u2019s now saying, ‘Weeeeell, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m going agnostic. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m open to ideas. I don\u2019t really have an opinion on this. I gotta wait and see what my advisors say.\u2019 He\u2019s doing everything he can to avoid a flip-flop on this when, in fact, everybody\u2019s going to figure out that this is already a flip-flop. He made too big a deal about this. In fact, at his first joint speech before Congress in February of last year he made a huge deal out of it and he received a lot of sustained applause from Democrats in the chamber about all of this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ted in Bristol, Pennsylvania. I\u2019m glad that you called, sir, and welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. First-time caller. Do you think Obama finally realized that he should soften his rhetoric on the big bonuses to anybody because that\u2019s where he intends to get his tax money from in the next couple years? If he clamps down on —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. No.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But he put a minimum on the bonuses —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — so he could get more taxes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: If he\u2019s softening his rhetoric on those guys it\u2019s because they threatened to donate all their money to Republicans, not Democrats. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I\u2019ve got four stories here in the stack of how the White House is in a CYA lickety-split, trying to cover their bases on that. ‘Oh, Obama didn\u2019t mean that. Obama\u2019s got a consistent record of saying what he said,\u2019 from the Huffington Post and a number of other people, because Obama really stepped in it. I mean, you had Paul Krugman yesterday saying, ‘We are doomed,\u2019 telling Obama this is foolish. Because Obama\u2019s supporters want Wall Street people in jail. Obama\u2019s supporters want \u2019em frog-marched out of their offices. Obama supporters hate anything corporate. They hate anything profit. They hate bonuses, and Obama has said to them enough times that bonuses are ‘obscene.\u2019 He had the ‘pay czar.\u2019 He was gonna make sure that these bonuses weren\u2019t paid, then all of a sudden these two guys — Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase and Lloyd Blankfein at Goldman Sachs — they\u2019re golden. They\u2019re golden! Obama went out and talked about, ‘I love the free market, and I\u2019m not against people getting rich and acquiring wealth. That\u2019s the way it works,\u2019 and his left-wing charges have gone bat manure. <\/p>\n

They just can\u2019t believe it. Now, one of the reasons… MIT professor went bat manure yesterday because, he said, ‘Doesn\u2019t Obama realize that these are not free market banks? These are banks that were bailed out and saved by the government. They are wards the state. These are banks too big to fail,\u2019 which makes these guys even madder, because he doesn\u2019t think these guys — who would have been out on their tushes if left alone — should be paid big, big bonuses off of government money! Oh, the left is livid about this and they\u2019re trying to cover Obama\u2019s rear end. This is why they don\u2019t let him go out there without a teleprompter. But I don\u2019t even know that he meant to say what he said. But if he did mean it, it was because he\u2019s scared that he believes these guys when they say that they\u2019re trying to start contributing to Republicans now and no longer to Democrats. At this point, analyzing why Obama does things is to get distracted. I don\u2019t care why. I don\u2019t care what his motivations are. It just has to be stopped. Whatever Obama is doing has got to be stopped.<\/p>\n
