After he went and lied through his teeth to the people at NASA. (doing Obama impression) &#8216;Yeah, we\u2019re not going to land on the moon, no, we\u2019re going to land on an asteroid. We\u2019re gonna land on an asteroid.\u2019 Gloria Estefan angered the Cuban exile community in Miami. They don\u2019t understand. They thought Estefan was one of them. They don\u2019t like Obama\u2019s policies. Gloria Estefan, &#8216;It\u2019s nothing political here, he\u2019s coming over for margarita or two, a mojito.\u2019 Wrong. It was a huge fundraiser, and it cost you 30 grand to get into it. It was totally political. And at this event, the leader of the regime mocked and made fun of American citizens.<\/line><BR\/><embed align=\"right\"\/><\/line><BR\/>OBAMA: Since today happens to be tax day (laughter) I should just point out that one-third of the Recovery Act went to tax cuts, tax cuts that strengthened the cornerstone of the American dream. I\u2019ve been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies (laughter) about taxes, taxes. You would think they would be saying thank you. That\u2019s what you\u2019d think. (cheers and applause) <\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, this is a classic illustration of authoritarian mocking control. He hasn\u2019t cut anybody\u2019s taxes. The Recovery Act, stimulus bill, it\u2019s more like loaves and fishes. There are no tax cuts in that. There were some tax credits. It\u2019s all bogus. But he wants to be thanked. Okay, I will oblige. Mr. President, I want to thank you for seizing General Motors and Chrysler. I want to thank you for appointing a pervert as our safe schools czar. I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for the generational theft that you have committed with all of this borrowing and spending. You have spent the wealth of two to three, maybe four generations in the future, before they\u2019re even born. I want to thank you, Mr. President, for insulting and endangering Israel. I want to thank you, Mr. President, for driving up the unemployment rate to near double digits for years to come. I want to thank you, Mr. President, for telling everybody that it\u2019s going to be double digits as the new norm. I want to thank you, Mr. President, for exploding the annual deficit to the level where it can never be repaid. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to thank you, Mr. President, for targeting and destroying private health insurance companies. I want to thank you, Mr. President, for pushing for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to stand trial in New York City and receive full constitutional rights at a cost of $200 million per year. I want to thank you for that. I want to thank you for helping to destroy the housing market, Mr. President. And, Mr. President, I would love to thank you for your arrogance, because arrogance is part and parcel of an authoritarian leader of a regime. I would like to also thank you, Mr. President, for your divisiveness. I would like to thank you for ignoring the public union pension time bombs waiting to explode out there. I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for mocking and disrespecting the American people. And I\u2019d like to thank you for your never-ending support of the New Black Panthers and for ACORN. I\u2019d like to thank you, Mr. President, for embracing our enemies and snubbing our allies. But most of all, Mr. President, thank you for arousing the sleeping silent majority because we have been asleep too long. November is coming, Mr. President. That is when we will really thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Down in Miami at the home of Gloria and Emilio Estefan on Star Island, Barack Obama conducted a fundraiser.
