RUSH: Folks, it’s working! Barack Obama said his plan is working. This is Monday night in Oakland during a campaign speech…

OBAMA: (godlike reverb) Just like we’ve tried their plan, we’ve tried our plan, and it worked.

FOLLOWERS: (smattering of cheers)

OBAMA: (godlike reverb) That’s the difference. That’s the choice in this election. That’s why I’m running for a second term.

RUSH: The god reverb is back. You notice that? But he said, “Just like we’ve tried their plan, we’ve tried our plan, and it worked. That’s the difference. That’s the choice in this election. That’s why I’m running for a second term.” It’s why, precisely, he should be elected for a second time. Now, the question: Does he really believe this? I’m gonna play this again. This sounds like somebody reading it off the prompter. This doesn’t sound like somebody who really believes it. I put myself in his shoes.


If the economy on my watch is a disaster — and it’s a disaster because my policies have made it such — and somebody sends me out there to talk about how it’s working, I have too much conscience to be able to pull that off with any believability. So you have to look at the context, the precious context. If he says it’s working, and if he means it, then that means something dangerous. Here, listen to it again.

OBAMA: (godlike reverb) Just like we’ve tried their plan, we’ve tried our plan, and it worked.

FOLLOWERS: (smattering of cheers)

OBAMA: (godlike reverb) That’s the difference. That’s the choice in this election. That’s why I’m running for a second term.

RUSH: That is quite an admission.

I don’t know how else to look at this.

He is admitting that this has been the plan all along, and that everything has gone right.

Everything is going according to plan. So I guess we have another See, I Told You So moment here. ‘Cause I’ve said all along that it was always his plan to destroy the economy, and he just admitted it! He just admitted that his plan worked, for all intents and purposes. The only alternative is that he’s just saying it because he’s relying on the fact that his audience is such a bunch of idiots that they won’t know. So just go out and lie. So we got two options: He just goes out and lies and rolls the dice that people will swallow it, or he goes out and tells the truth.

“It’s working! Our plan worked! More of you on food stamps than ever before! More of you don’t have jobs than ever before: 18.2 million of you don’t have jobs! More of your homes are underwater than ever before, and more of you are gonna be in a whole big mess ’cause of health care. Yep, it’s working!”
