RUSH: Now, you notice, you notice, ladies and gentlemen, how Obama will not hold press conferences. The media doesn\u2019t care about this. He runs around the country claiming credit for things, assigning blame for things. He went to Ford today. We have the sound bite. Where is this sound bite? I think it\u2019s number 3. I\u2019m changing my order on the sound bites from what I said. Where is it? I can\u2019t find it. Never mind. I\u2019ll have to find it during commercial break. He went to Ford. He started praising the federal bailout. (interruption) It is number 3? Play the sound bite. I don\u2019t have the transcript right in front of me. I can\u2019t find what I… Ah, here it is. This is this morning. Obama spoke at the Ford Motor Company Chicago assembly plant, and during the speech you had the Ford plant employees cheering against the Obama bailout. MSNBC happened to pull away from coverage at that point. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: Now, Ford was in better financial shape and was able to weather the storm without federal assistance <\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (wild cheering).<\/p>\n

MELVIN: President Obama speaking to a friendly crowd there in Chicago. <\/p>\n

RUSH: They bumped out of the ‘friendly crowd,\u2019 the Ford Motor employees cheering the fact that they didn\u2019t take a federal bailout and then the dunce reporter Craig Melvin, ‘President Obama speaking to a friendly crowd there…\u2019 It was not a ‘friendly crowd\u2019 in Chicago. The crowd was cheering the fact that they had not taken any federal bailout money. It was a repudiation of Obama. MSNBC had to cut out. So he\u2019s around. He\u2019s claiming credit for all of these things, assigning blame for things, but he will not subject himself to a press conference, even when most of the fake media is friendly. The reason for this is twofold. He\u2019s really not that smart, folks. This is part of the myth that Obama is superior in intellect and intelligence, smarter than all the rest. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s not really that smart. <\/p>\n

I mean, can we be honest? <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a guy who\u2019s come up with policies, and he claims that what he\u2019s trying to do here is fix the economy and create jobs, and yet everything he\u2019s doing is destroying that. How smart is that? He doesn\u2019t want to prove, he really doesn\u2019t want to illustrate how he is not smart. His policies are indefensible. I mean, there\u2019s no way Obama can defend his economic policies. There\u2019s simply no way. That\u2019s why they are going back to bashing Bush. Obama cannot defend one policy. So he doesn\u2019t even want to stand up there and have a press conference. He doesn\u2019t want to have any scrutiny whatsoever. It\u2019s a lot easier to go out and make pronouncements, send the wife over to Spain, go golfing, jump on a plane to Chicago, have dinner with Oprah, have the media fawn all over you — do all of that — rather than do anything substantive.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: President Obama went to the Ford plant in Chicago to talk about how he saved the US auto industry. Did you know that he saved the US auto industry? And by the way, the United Autoworkers are planning to target Ford this year for a massive strike. Here\u2019s how Obama did it. This afternoon he was interviewed by CNBC\u2019s Phil LeBeau, who asked President Obama: ‘How do you feel about the fact that Ford was able to rebuild its business without a bailout?\u2019 <\/p>\n

OBAMA: Well, the interesting thing is if you talk to Ford\u2019s CEO, he\u2019ll tell you that if GM had been liquidated, if Chrysler had been liquidated, that could have been a crisis for the entire industry including Ford because all those suppliers would have been lost and the brand of the American auto industry would have really been greatly diminished. <\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it. President Obama saved the US auto industry with a bailout. Saved Ford, too, because see, if Ford\u2019s competitors had been liquidated, Chrysler and GM, why, Ford would have been destroyed, too, because the brand of the American made automobile would have been diminished. So I, I, Barack Obama, I saved the auto industry. That\u2019s his answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
