\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, somebody help me out here. I might have missed it, as I was in transit yesterday. Did any of the Republican leadership respond to Obama\u2019s despicable lies about Obamacare yesterday? (interruption) There wasn\u2019t? There wasn\u2019t any Republican response to that? You gotta be kidding me. I was flying to — well, I was in transit. I had it on the television and I\u2019m watching this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m heading up to a celebratory occasion, I\u2019m watching this thing, and it\u2019s ticking me off, this Rose Garden thing. I mean, here you\u2019ve got Obamacare, which is mandatory under penalty of law, and they\u2019re all out there celebrating that 7.1 million people have signed up, which is not true<\/a>. They can\u2019t back it up. It\u2019s a phony number, as said yesterday<\/a>. It\u2019s been documented by the UK Daily Mail Online<\/a> and the RAND Corporation. <\/p>\n

But they\u2019re out there celebrating. Mandatory, it ought to be 200 million sign-ups. The deadline was March 31st. It\u2019s mandatory. Either that or you pay a penalty and go to jail. They\u2019re out celebrating and there\u2019s not one Republican response to this? (interruption) You mean I missed the brilliant stem-winder responses from Republican leaders? Or there weren\u2019t any brilliant stem-winders? So what, are they leaving it up to me? (interruption) As usual, leaving it up to the Tea Party.<\/p>\n

I guess Obamacare\u2019s golden now, folks, just hunky-dory. I guess the Democrats are gonna be happy to appear with Obama. (interruption) You\u2019re saying “no” to all this? But I saw it yesterday. I saw that Rose Garden thing. They were ecstatic. They were happy. This is a victory lap. This is the greatest achievement, and when Bush did stuff like this, they attacked him. I\u2019ve got the audio sound bites to remind you. They said he was too much hubris. Remember after Bush\u2019s reelection in 2004, he started talking about how he was gonna spend his political capital. And they said, “It\u2019s very dangerous for a president to start bragging. It\u2019s very dangerous for a president to get into too much hubris.” I\u2019ve got that sound bite coming up. <\/line><\/p>\n

But I\u2019m assuming that Obamacare\u2019s now golden, and that means Obama\u2019s gold. That means that Democrats are gonna be clamoring to appear with Obama and they\u2019re gonna want him with them as they campaign for reelection. (interruption) Why are you saying “no”? (interruption) <\/line>What polls did I expose? I\u2019ll tell you one poll. Do you realize, I\u2019m gonna tell you, folks, I mean, even I got sucked in by this and I\u2019m not talking about the poll that you\u2019re talking about. I\u2019m talking about actual ratings. CNN never got a ratings bump<\/a> out of this Malaysian jet. The story that CNN\u2019s ratings were skyrocking was absolute BS. They\u2019re still in the tank. They never moved out of the gutter. Fox cleaned their clock. <\/line><\/p>\n

MSNBC is plummeting even further. They lost 10% with the kid, Frank Sinatra\u2019s kid in there. That\u2019s not working out. And now the Malaysian people just said they might have to expand the search for two more weeks, and Wolf Blitzer said, well, why not two more years? These clowns at CNN think they got a ratings bump and they didn\u2019t. Somebody put out a lying report about them getting a ratings bump, and they didn\u2019t. (interruption) What poll are you talking about? <\/p>\n

Let me tell you something. I\u2019ll just say it, what the hell. I\u2019m gonna get audited anyway. I went to New York, annual cigar dinner, the Dinner of the Century, Marvin Shanken, Cigar Aficionado Magazine<\/a>. After the show I flew up. I concluded business, I arrived at Teterboro exactly on schedule at seven o\u2019clock. I landed in New Jersey. I changed clothes on the airplane. I got in the car to go into town at 7:15. I got to the Four Seasons restaurant at five \u2019til eight. I went to the dining room. At my table: John Salley. The former LA mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa. He relived that funny story when I met him in New York with President Clinton. Michael Milken, Rudy Giuliani. There were all kinds of people there last night. I mean, it was the 20th anniversary. <\/p>\n

Anyway, at five \u2019til 11 I hit the trail. I went back to car, got back Teterboro, and I walked in my house at 2:30. I\u2019m watching Obama on the flight up and I\u2019ve got smoke coming out of my ears. I\u2019m watching this thing, this lying victory lap thing he\u2019s doing in the Rose Garden about this and all the while I\u2019m saying, “What is there to celebrate?” It\u2019s mandatory! Why are they acting like they\u2019ve had this giant persuasive — they\u2019ve turned minds and changed minds and made people love it. It\u2019s mandatory! It\u2019s the law! People are doing this out of fear, the people that are doing it at all. And even then, the things that were being said about this yesterday. <\/p>\n

<\/a>And then the testimony of the guy at the House intel committee today on Benghazi<\/a>, there were no protests. This guy\u2019s undermined Obama, Morell, the acting CIA director\u2019s totally undermined Obama on the idea that the video produced protests which led to the deaths, it\u2019s all lies. Everything is lies. (Interruption) What poll are you talking about? (interruption) Oh. Oh. Okay. All right. I haven\u2019t had a chance to check that. Let me check real quick here. Snerdley says that I caused a poll. Oh, here it is. AP answers Rush without saying so, of course. <\/p>\n

Okay, so here\u2019s what they did. Oh, I get it. AP had a poll last week that showed 26% approval for Obamacare, and then we had yesterday the Washington Post\/ABC News poll<\/a>, they said 49-48% approval. So the AP has a story today to explain how that could be. Snerdley believes that they did this story because I made such a big hype whoop-de-doo. And I did, so it could well be. “Polls often diverge by a few points, but it\u00c2\u2019s rare to see well-respected polls come to opposing conclusions about the public\u00c2\u2019s take on an issue.<\/p>\n

“In the last week, however, an Associated Press-GfK poll found support for President Barack Obama\u00c2\u2019s health care overhaul at a new low while a Washington Post-ABC News poll showed it had hit a new high. The seemingly contradictory findings stem more from question wording and timing than from either poll doing something wrong or even misrepresenting public opinion.”<\/p>\n

By the way, that\u2019s right. Look at the question in the ABC\/Washington Post poll. I saw that after the program ended yesterday. It was a meaningless, worthless question that produced this plurality. It was something like that, “Do you think everybody should have health insurance?” Well, hell, yes! That should have gotten an 80%, not 49%.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got the sound bite coming up, but Obama\u2019s sitting there in the Rose Garden saying, “What are people so ticked off about people getting health insurance for? I don\u2019t understand why the Republicans don\u2019t want people to get health insurance!” Lying little… I\u2019m telling you, folks, this is just beyond the pale what is happening with this. I just want to see now…<\/p>\n

Since Obama\u2019s golden, I wanna see all these Democrats requesting Obama to appear with them as they campaign for reelection this fall. I\u2019m sure that\u2019s gonna happen \u2019cause Obamacare now needs to be hung around every Democrat\u2019s neck like a flaming… Never mind. I\u2019m not gonna say it. The ANC. I was gonna say necklacing, flaming tires. That\u2019s what Winnie Mandela did. But seriously, they need to hang this thing because they own it. <\/p>\n

This is all theirs, and this speech is… I don\u2019t know, folks. Remember when Bush did his “mission accomplished” speech on the aircraft carrier, and the media said, “How dare he! How dare he start bragging!” Obama goes out and does it — and, by the way, brags over nothing that\u2019s real — and the media\u2019s just so in the tank, they can\u2019t help themselves. There\u2019s no Republican response to this? <\/line><\/p>\n

There\u2019s one thing that might mitigate all this happiness today that the Democrats think that they\u2019re feeling. My dad used to ask me and my friends when we\u2019d come in late on a Friday night, “What\u2019d you boys do?” We\u2019d say, “Ah, we\u2019ve been out having fun.” Dad would say, “You think you\u2019re having fun, but you\u2019re not.” Well, the Democrats think things are going great guns, but they\u2019re not. <\/p>\n

The Supreme Court has just said again, in a new ruling, that free speech trumps campaign finance limits. This is gonna ruin their day. This is Koch brothers combined with Citizens United. This is gonna send \u2019em over the edge and mitigate whatever up feeling they\u2019re having over whatever they tried to make it look like happened with Obamacare yesterday in the Rose Garden. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s other stuff, too. For example, did you know, by the way, this from the RAND Corporation? “Only One-Third of Obamacare Exchange Sign-Ups Were From the Previously Uninsured.” There really is just so much that\u2019s bogus, even this 7.1 million. We\u2019ll dissect it as the program unfolds. <\/p>\n

But, yeah, the CNN ratings bump was never true. It never happened, ladies and gentlemen. They thought it did. That\u2019s right. It seems like every day… You know what we do here? We tell you what was true and false in the previous day\u2019s news. So much is not true. So many things that are reported end up not being true. <\/p>\n

But of course what it was Churchill who said, a lie — paraphrasing — is halfway around the world before the truth even puts its pants on in the morning.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s what happened. Yesterday, ABC News\/Washington Post proudly and with great fanfare (and with a lot of media support) released poll that showed for the first time ever a plurality of Americans like and support Obamacare. The numbers were 49 to 48%. <\/p>\n

And then I, your host, El Rushbo, remembered that there was a poll four days ago (five days ago now) that the AP did that showed an all-time low for Obamacare at 26%. I made a big hullabaloo about this. I spent a lot of time on this ABC News poll, as you know, and spent a lot of time on the AP poll reminding you of it just four days prior, and then asking, “How can this be?”<\/p>\n

Apparently AP, because nobody… I don\u2019t know that anybody else focused on this to the extent that we did yesterday. AP has run a story today to explain the difference. Now, I\u2019m gonna tell you something. This is unprecedented, too. I mean, it\u2019s not unprecedented, but it\u2019s rare when one news organization\/polling company runs a story to explain the differences in their poll and a competing poll. <\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what AP has done today. <\/p>\n

“Polls often diverge by a few points, but it\u2019s rare to see well-respected polls come to opposing conclusions about the public\u2019s take on an issue. In the last week, however, an Associated Press-GfK poll found support for President Barack Obama\u2019s health care overhaul at a new low while a Washington Post-ABC News poll showed it had hit a new high.<\/p>\n

“The seemingly contradictory findings stem more from question wording and timing than from either poll doing something wrong or even misrepresenting public opinion.” This is circling the wagons here. This is the AP circling the wagons, there\u2019s no question. I mean, why do this? Who else made a big hullabaloo about this? It was only made a big deal of here. Nobody else cared, really. <\/p>\n

But I am into the sausage-factory aspect of this stuff. So the AP felt duty-bound to explain how both polls could be right on the money. They had to circle the wagons and protect the business. So here\u2019s what they say<\/a>: “The AP-GfK poll asks those taking the poll whether they ‘support, oppose or neither support nor oppose\u2019 the law, while the Washington Post-ABC News poll asks if they ‘support or oppose\u2019 it.<\/p>\n

“The inclusion or absence of that neutral category is critical, as poll takers respond to the question they\u2019re asked rather than offering opinions unprompted.” So their point here is ABC did not give their poll respondents an opportunity to express the “I don\u2019t care” or “I don\u2019t know option,” and the AP did. The AP says that doesn\u2019t make what ABC did wrong and it doesn\u2019t make what AP did wrong; it doesn\u2019t mean that anybody doctored the results, yada yada yada. <\/p>\n

Yes, it does. It means that ABC wanted to get a result, and they did what they had to do to get it, and they wanted that result for one day. They wanted that result for the deadline day, or the day after the deadline day. They wanted it for April 1st so that they could join with the Regime — \u2019cause remember, the media is part of the Regime. There is no news anymore. <\/line><\/p>\n

There really isn\u2019t any media; it\u2019s just extensions of the left or the Democrat Party. So the timing was to get a poll that showed for the first time ever a plurality, even if it was only by one point, a massive support for Obamacare. And they got it. So it allowed them… Now, I\u2019m gonna tell you what\u2019s happening here, folks. People are deluding themselves. <\/p>\n

Obama and the Rose Garden little shenanigans yesterday and these doctored, crazy wacko polls are a repeat of 2010. They just can\u2019t deal with reality, so they\u2019re gathering together amongst themselves. They\u2019re telling themselves, “Not only is everything okay, we\u2019re actually beating the hoards back and we\u2019re triumphing. We\u2019re winning. Everybody loves us now and every loves Obamacare now!<\/p>\n

They\u2019re deluding themselves, and they\u2019re heading for another crash this November just like what happened in 2010.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, folks, here is the ABC\/Washington Post poll Obamacare question that produced this first-time-ever plurality support. Ready for the question? It was — dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut! — “Overall, do you support or oppose the federal law making changes to the health care system?” It doesn\u2019t have “Obamacare,” doesn\u2019t have any identification.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just pure, 100% generic. And there\u2019s no “don\u2019t care,” “don\u2019t know” option in there. It was designed to get the result that they actually wanted to get just for one day. This leads to, I think, a bit of analysis of what purpose talk radio, conservative blogs, the Internet and so forth really serve. Let\u2019s take a look, for example, at the story involving San Francisco Democrat Leland Yee<\/a> and gunrunning and so forth. <\/p>\n

<\/a>When they did that story, they got it right. The first time they ran that story, they got it right. The thing is, they haven\u2019t run it anymore. There\u2019s no follow up. They never keep you abreast. They run the story once. Anything damaging to Democrats like that, if they do it at all, they\u2019ll get it right for the most part so it\u2019ll be on record, and then they drop it. They don\u2019t follow it up. They don\u2019t continue to editorialize on it. It just dies. <\/p>\n

So people that didn\u2019t hear it the first time don\u2019t hear about it at all. When it\u2019s stories that are damaging to conservatives or Republicans, they keep pounding those stories after they do it the first time. They keep rolling them over and over, and they keep adding elements to it. The damaging stuff on Democrats that they do report just languishes. If they report it at all, it dies after the original report and they satisfy the requirements.<\/p>\n

They did it, and then it is done with. So it\u2019s a cute little game that they\u2019re playing. But I think, folks, just to reiterate what I said (and I said it in a jam-packed time frame going into break bottom of the hour), I think they\u2019re deluding themselves. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I need to pose a question. You\u2019ve heard it said by many that once we get deep into Obamacare we cannot repeal it because you cannot take away health care from people. You simply cannot take the entitlement away. It\u2019s never happened, and once it gets embedded too deeply it\u2019s gone forever. You cannot take people\u2019s health care away. But didn\u2019t Obama do just that by implementing Obamacare? <\/p>\n

How many millions of people lost their health insurance? Six million people at last count lost their health insurance. They were canceled. They don\u2019t have it replaced yet. How many people are, at this moment, panicked or in a state of panic either because they can\u2019t afford the new price, they are uncovered after being canceled, or they\u2019ve been fired, or they\u2019ve been downsized or whatever? <\/p>\n

When Obama did it, everybody said it was progress. Obama\u2019s taken health care away from people. That\u2019s one of the, I think, important realities that goes unmentioned here. It\u2019s always the Republicans, that\u2019s Obama, you\u2019ll hear it coming up in a sound bite in the Rose Garden yesterday. He said, “I don\u2019t understand why these Republicans want to take people\u2019s health care away from \u2019em.” Republicans are not the ones who are taking people\u2019s health care away from \u2019em. It is you, Mr. President, doing that. Barack Obama. Middle name Hussein. Pronounce it sometimes, other times I don\u2019t, just depends on how I feel. He\u2019s the one who has engineered six million people losing their health insurance, maybe more. <\/p>\n

Here is Peter in Seattle, as we grab a quick phone call. Peter, thank you for calling. Great to have you on the program. Hello.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Wow, Rush, I\u2019m so glad. I was on my way to work, I\u2019m listening to you talk about the poll, and I hear you tell us exactly what the poll question was, and I\u2019m listening, and I\u2019m going, “Well, I would support the federal government changing our health care system. It\u2019s costing more and more money every year.” But I don\u2019t like Obamacare. So the question is very deceiving. I\u2019m an anti-Obamacare voter, a hundred percent, yet as posed, I thought, well, yeah, I would like to see changes. So it\u2019s very deceiving. In my 65 years of being here I\u2019ve never seen administration manage to manipulate the press so well. I feel almost like I\u2019m approaching the Eastern bloc.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s not manipulating the press. He doesn\u2019t have to. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I agree with you there, he doesn\u2019t have to do it, but it feels like it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no. They\u2019re already on board. They\u2019re willing accomplices. They\u2019re not being manipulated here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, okay, I agree with you there, Rush. I can\u2019t help but agree with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I tell you, you don\u2019t sound anywhere near 65, I had to make that observation. But look, folks, Peter here is exactly right. The ABC question: Do you think the health care system needs — do you support the changes? Do you support the changes in health care? Everybody does! Everybody thinks it could be improved, but that\u2019s why they left “Obamacare” out. They asked this generic question, it\u2019s a push poll question. <\/p>\n

The Washington Post has been asking this question for years. It\u2019s always had a high number. It\u2019s why they go back to it. It\u2019s always been a close split for years because the question is so vague. “Do you support or oppose changes in the health care system?” Well, if there\u2019s no reference to Obamacare, and you just answer, you don\u2019t even maybe know what this thing\u2019s about. It\u2019s totally misleading, push poll misleading on purpose. <\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m gonna tell you what. Remember, folks, Obama has only begun to take away insurance. He hasn\u2019t gotten to the employer-provided plans yet. That\u2019s next year, unless he waives them. The only people that have been canceled and lost their health insurance are the people who buy it themselves. Those of you who get your health insurance from your employer, your turn\u2019s coming. That\u2019s why I keep saying that most Americans don\u2019t yet have the slightest idea what\u2019s gonna happen to them. They\u2019re hearing all the horror stories. <\/p>\n

In fact, last night at the annual Dinner of the Century cigar dinner, I had a guy, and I thought it was a good question. In fact, it helps me to make this point. He said, “Rush, I keep hearing about all the disasters and the horror stories, but nothing\u2019s happened to me. I still have my plan and everything\u2019s fine.” <\/p>\n

I said, “Well, do you get your insurance at work from your employer?” <\/p>\n

“Yeah.” <\/p>\n

“Well, you\u2019re next. You haven\u2019t been touched yet, by design, because most people are in your boat. Most people have their health insurance through work. And the people still employed that get their health insurance through work is a large number. And your turn\u2019s coming. The employer mandate, that was supposed to have been waived. But so far the only people really being impacted are the people that provide for themselves. They call up, like to buy their own car insurance, buy their own health insurance. You who get yours through your job are next. It makes sense.”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t understand what the folderol\u2019s about, Rush, I mean, fine with mine.” <\/p>\n

Well, not totally. Your employer could yet still cancel you and off-load the whole benefit, which many have started doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
