RUSH: Okay, part of my letter to Obama last week. I said this while in Las Vegas, and I told him, ‘Man up.’
RUSH ARCHIVE: Let me be the father that you never had or never really knew, ’cause I think you need some guidance. It’s time to man up. It’s time to grow up.
RUSH: All right, Jake Tapper on February 1st, four days ago, during the White House press briefing with Robert Gibbs they had this exchange…
TAPPER: Isn’t the whole point of being president and controlling the House and Senate to man up and make these tough decisions.
GIBBS: Yes!
TAPPER: Whether or not —
GIBBS: Absolutely!
TAPPER: Whether or not it costs at the ballot box in November?
GIBBS: (stammering) We’re… We’re… We’re not — we’re not… The commission —
TAPPER: You’re saying, ‘We’re not going to do it unless we have sign off from the Republicans.’
GIBBS: No, no, no. W-we’re not going to make progress unless we have sign off from the Republicans but again, Jake: There’s not unanimity in one party on either way forward.
RUSH: Gibbs doesn’t like that, either. Jack Tapper said, ‘man up.’ So I said that on January 28th. Ahem. And Jake Tapper said it on February 1st. Okay.
