Your Rush Limbaugh Echo for Tuesday, 11/22/11
Student NOTES from Institute juniors, not 'official'
Opening: CNN Wolf Blitzer runs the Republican debate
_____________________________________________________________
Segment#1: Where is the equal exam of Barack Obama ?
I am told the Blitzer is prepping and rehearsing various retorts if Newt criticized him as moderator. It must be like Teleprompter preparing the Banster for hecklers.
When will a Democrat candidate get such an anal probe as Republicans. We are coming up on three years and know nothing about Obama: we are told not to worry about his college grades but just trust that he is the smartest. We don't know about his girlfriends.
He taught Lewinsky Law at U. Chicago; Bill Ayers kicked off the Obama campaign in his home; we know he has a half-brother living in a hut; DbM didn't tell us, we had to find out on our own. We don't know if Obama drank beer in college; we don't know where he bought the wedding ring for Michelle-my-belle; yet, we know Newt Gingrich bought jewelry at Tiffany's.
We do know that current First Lady is spending tax-payer dollars like never seen before. DbM told us when Nancy Reagan refurbished the WH dining plates with her own money, complaining about extravagance. Three airplanes fly when one would do. We have to figure this out and DbM does not report. Imagine if a Republican president/family had done this.
We know every dime that Newt Gingrich spends on his wife, his own money, and we are led to believe there is something suspicious. How did media find out? They are not doing any of this with Obama. Now we have endless discussion on Newt Gingrich consulting Fanny and Freddie. Obama protects Fanny and Freddie by exempting them from regulatory reform. They are at the center of corruption.
Why did Obama exempt them and expose taxpayers to propping them up?
Then they say Herman Cain is too dumb because he didn't solve Libya in less than ten seconds. Call this program and tell the audience what the Obama foreign policy is. Does anyone have the slightest clue? We are losing the Middle East on his watch, to Arab Spring and Muslim brothers. And yet he has a smart crease in his pants.
Everything about Obama is an assumption. Same with domestic policy. There is a pattern here: nobody knows what the rules will be, but sit on their assets because the future is unknown. There is no digging, curiosity, vetting. I'm serious: even our so-called conservative commentator will say Herman Cain is stupid and unfit, and at the same time say Obama is smart and one of the elites.
Michele Bachmann would fight for America if elected; she would return USA to greatness. She is a consistent and strong Conservative. She has leadership and Obama doesn't. Any of our candidates is more qualified than the current wrecking ball.
Rick Santorum is second to none in foreign policy;
and so DNC/DbM attack him on social issues, for example,
Nancy Pelosi says Catholics have a conscious problem;
>>> >>> and she is not the problem?
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#2: Where were Democrats during the thick of negotiations?
The inside-the-beltway crowd still wrings their hands over Super Committee not cutting $1.2Trillion, and I am blue in the face telling you it was never to happen.
Harry Reid went with Chris Dodd, during the thick of negotiations, to commune with Senator Kennedy's grave in Arlington Cemetery. Dodd poured some whisky over his grave while Dingy Harry recited a prayer. These are the leaders of our nation having an Eleanor Roosevelt moment. www.politico.com/huddle/ >>> Dingy Reed bragged about it to lobbyists.
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#3: The most unpredictable and competitive since 1972
As predicted, economic numbers were revised down. GDP was reported at rising 2.5%, now it is revised down to 2.0%. Good times just around the corner, folks, with Hope and Change. We have been mislead by The Regime by 20%. Try going to work 20% late or paying only 80% of your taxes.
The polls are all over the place for Republican hopefuls. Gingrich leads in the average, nationally. ((Reading: This cycle seems the most unpredictable and competitive since 1972.)) On the other hand, many assume Romney is the nominee. Can both be true and Mitt Romney ends up being the Republican nominee.
If it is true that indeed it is competitive, it is for one reason: the voters are not rolling over and just accepting what GOP leadership gives them.
This makes news? FL JrHS girl kisses a boy during gym class. She had a conversation with her girlfriend on which of them the boy liked best. She went over for an impromptu kiss. Teacher called child services who call cops to show up.
>>> Our culture has changed and not for the better.
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#4: How far out-of-kilter is our American society today?
A girl giving a quick kiss to a boy in JrHS used to be 'normal'. At Penn State they didn't call cops with an assistant coach raping young boys.
In a mistrial, the youth didn't want to be bothered anymore and shot the molester, Larry King. The King mother called the school because her son was showing up in dresses and bothering other boys. School officials told here there was nothing they could do since he had a 'right' to explore his sexual identity. Was he a woman in a boy's body? Would he need a chop-a-dict-off-a-me? [Rush coined this term.]
The King mother had lost control and called the school to watch her son. They did nothing. . . . but,
>>> but you let a young girl kiss a young boy,
>>>>>> and you can be damn-sure we will call cops.
_____________________________________________________________
S#5: Barney Frank called those not voting for proper diets, Vegetables.
> > > Can it be that there are also Fruits in Congress ?
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#6: The America Dream is not just working on the factory floor
(Theme Music) There is more on the CA shooting story. The teen was confused about his sexuality, wearing dresses and makeup to HS (Larry King). His Mother called the school. It was bothersome that he was soliciting other teens. "There is nothing we can do."
Consider the different reaction had he been a Conservative, "I want to promote the Bible at school." Turns out Newsweek had a story in 2008, the assistant principle was encouraging Larry King because it furthered an agenda.
I'll tell you, folks, especially in blue-state cities, there is Agenda going on.
Finally now, Obama gets involved in the conversation. He sends Moochelle out with Second Lady Biden; Barack is also out campaigning; now, he comes back and talks about Super Committee ((Clip-heckling: That's OK [continuing yelling] OK, guys. That 's all right; I'll be talking about a whole range of things today. I appreciate your [heckling].)) That will be like Wolf Blitzer if Gingrich attacks media/moderator.
((Clip-Obama: The feeling that if you work hard, you can make it, is slipping away. Not just the man who owns the factory, but those that work on the floor.)) So a little class warfare. Is that the American Dream? You work hard and you are owed success? The factory floor is the American Dream?
Obama is channeling Elizabeth Warren.
((Clip-Obama: We are tough, fighting hard, and are going to get this right. We are going to have an America that everyone has opportunity, not just a sliver of people.)) It is the height of hypocrisy for Obama to talk about expanding opportunity. Expand the government and you diminish private industry. Fewer people are working on the factory floor because of Obama.
>>> The proper retort is Obama caused fewer workers in factories.
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#7: Rush Limbaugh is relieved that it was not just the kiss
Caller-Joe-from-kissing-school: I scratched my head also, "Something is not making sense." What happened is that when they were called to the principle's office, information came to light about a home situation. Media didn't wait for facts.
But it is controversial in our day, where are we heading.
My source is Smoking Gun and it was called a sex offense.
This is a major error: how did the police dpt get it so wrong?
((Caller: I am trying to un-ring that bell.)) People will want to know.
[Joe is the communication director for the school district,
"our principles are not that crazy and lazy.
>>> The safety of kids come first." ]
Web: "Deputies do not appear to be further probing the preteen kiss." Not true now.
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#8: ex-workers at Solyndra get over $14million of your money
Tony Rezko gets ten years in prison. He came up with artful financing for Obama to buy a house. He schemed to get kickbacks from the Chicago union for teachers pension fund. Obama shelled out $300,000 under the asking price with Rezko making up the difference. He also helped with the adjoining lot.
We know that Obama played golf in Hawaii with another [bad guy] over weekend. Will journalists do their job as the watchdog for America? Then there are the Green companies.
Every one of the 1,100 ex-workers at Solyndra will get tax-payer assisted retraining. The going-away-gift is valued at $13,000. That is over $14million of your money.
Barack Obama acts like he is running against Washington, and he is Washington. This is the Obama Economy and every one of our problems is directly traceable to him.
>>> It doesn't work to blame Bush anymore.
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
Segment#10: If you are on hold, sit tight — We'll be right back.
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#11: Actually a very good Wall Street Journal article, (grain-of-salt)
(Music) Sullivan Group in CA documents us to be right 99.6% of the time. Can you even imagine how difficult it is to move into 99.7% range? No one can do that.
We chronicle how DbM-Left tries to take all joy out of your life. They try to convince you that everything is going to kill you, like oatmeal. Now there is countdown to a 'food coma' after you eat a big meal like Thanksgiving dinner.
((Reading)) Who is paying for this? They need to be stopped. ((Reading on: Then there is the post-prandial phase. You should walk after a big meal to deal with fats in the blood.)) For me, it is having a fine cigar.
This is the price we pay for taking America away from the Indians: Eat & die.
WSJ has caught Moochelle Obama disease. It is one day in the year. Liberals try to take the joy out of having two helpings of turkey and dressing.
>>> You would eat 'to-furkey'? Snerdley, give me a break.
_____________________________________________________________
Segment#12: Under Obama, positions are down over 2.5 million
Caller: Why not let Democrats hang themselves by letting Bush Tax cuts expire.
Wait a second now. That wouldn't kick in until 2013. Never will media blame the Democrats for anything. I remember how some said, "Let Clinton win to see how bad it can get"; then, "Let Obama win to see Obamaville." 47% are content to be lazy takers, paying no income tax and taking gov't handouts.
We cannot just sit back. There ought to be a race to cut EPA, and whatever needs to be cut next. Four more years will transform for generations. We can't afford to wait anymore. Spain and Greece should teach us. We are broke and $15Trillion in debt. It is time for peddle-to-the-metal leadership.
We can't go on with half the nation being paid by the other half. It pains me and affect my mode to see The Regime presiding over our decline. I wish I could ignore it some days. I care too much about America and the opportunities of others.
In seven years, Leftists took Spain from boom to economic disaster. Just recently, they tossed them out and didn't care the opposition consisted of Conservatives. You say, 'Let voters see what will happen' and I say, "They already see that."
We are already close to the point-of-no-return. Too much attention is paid to what the takers think, OWS. They certainly not to be pandered too. If we fix this country, they will be helped along the way. They have no answers anyway.
Caller: How do employment numbers go down when people lose jobs?
Under Obama, the number of jobs available are down over 2.5 million. That allows The Regime to play games with the percentages.
>>> If those positions are counted, unemployment is 12.3% not 9%.
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#13: Check Heritage Foundation to prepare for the Debate tonight
The number of job position is an arbitrary number for The Regime. They just make it up. Even Liberals are scratching their heads, like in Chris Matthews' new book on JFKennedy. He wants to know what Obama will do with Debt when it is obvious Obama will just create more of it.
Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell write that Obama should step down for the good of the country and the Democrat Party.
[ED: See amazing photo-pictures. What is up with H. Rodham hair?]
Will they put the response for Wolf Blitzer on Teleprompter if Newt heckles him? Wolf is in a hotel room practicing, it is rumored.
You can see what Heritage Foundation has prepared for candidates.
Caller-KY: You misread Obama intentions. He plays to our underclass.
And how is that working? Look at what The Regime has done to everyone but unions. Look at what Democrats have done to Black families. You are closer than you know, "Obama sees people left behind" and he sees USA as racist and unjust. He thinks USA needs to be cut down a size or two and apologizes around the world.
In their view, we have stolen oil, land, everything that made us great.
>>> Obama and his wife see it as their opportunity to redistribute.
>>> That includes your tax dollar and your American Dream.
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#14: Occupy Wall Street college kids boo Obama in New Hampshire
Obama was heckled by OWS in NH. ((Reading Obama: You and your families are the reason I ran for office in the first place.)) Lazy Losers are out of jobs because it is America's fault and that is why Obama ran. He wants them to vote for him so they won't have to pay back their student loans.
Thanksgiving Day is a big day of tradition for American families. Some watch NFL and demand to be fed a big and great Thanksgiving dinner. It is the start of the Christmas season and you should

From the Rush Limbaugh Morning Update: "Giveaway"
To understand the Regime's impact on the job market look no further than the medical-device sector, which manufactures everything from stents to scalpels. 'Til now, the sector boasted high-tech and high-paying jobs. Just what the doctor would order – if he could – to help us get out of the Obama Depression.
But. A 2010 law is now threatening the very foundation of the medical-device business. That law is Obamacare. Nancy Pelosi wasn't kidding when she said that once the bill passed, we'd find out what's in it. Medical-device manufacturers found a $20 billion tax. Not on their profits – but on their revenues. That's right: on every dollar they take in. Be it profit or not.
Minnesota Republican Congressman Erik Paulsen, whose district includes big medical-device companies, says that up to ten percent of the workforce, or 43,000 jobs, are directly threatened. Paulsen introduced a bill to repeal the tax increase but Democrats are digging in their heels to protect every aspect of Obamacare, regardless of the impact on jobs.
Kem Hawkins is president of Cook Medical, which employs 10,000 in the field. He says: "Companies are already moving jobs" and products overseas, instead of investing here. "If we don't stop it now," Hawkins warns, we'll lose our status as the world's leader in medical devices.
The Regime invested billions in high-tech green jobs that were fraudulent, like Solyndra and now they're driving the genuine high-tech jobs we do have overseas. You give these idiots four more years; you give the rest of America away. It's just that simple.

Quote Gems from Rush Limbaugh dot com:
"The Obama strategy is to exacerbate the problem and then get together with the media and blame the Republicans for it."
"I've maintained throughout my star-studded career that understanding what's happening to you, to us, what's happening in the world of politics is as simple as having the courage to understand and admit to yourselves daily what liberalism is and who liberals are."
"Rush Limbaugh, super committee of one, except I am a super committee that never fails."
"We actually haven't had anything from MSNBC on this program audio sound bite-wise for three or four days, and hasn't it been refreshing, folks?"
"The people who tell you that water does not solve dehydration are liberals, and they believe that and say that and proselytize that for an ideological reason. It is ideological that they say water does not solve dehydration."
"Only in media capitals could you scratch your head over the fact that the first lady gets booed."
"The NASCAR people and the rest of the country are not so hip to 12- and 15-day vacations in Spain with 35 people along for the ride while they can't get work, while they can't get raises."
"Folks, budgets don't get whacked in Washington. We actually need for some budgets to get whacked. That's what doesn't happen! There really never are genuine spending cuts. There are only reductions in the rate of growth or spending amounts that are less than projected, which then equals a cut from what was expected to be spent."
"The reason nobody's talking about spending cuts is because there aren't any."
"Obama's on a faster pace than the leftist government of Spain. He's been President less than three years, and look at the destruction. It took the government of Spain seven years, but the people of Spain said no mas, don't want it anymore, voted en masse for conservatism." "Obama is a narcissist. If you want Obama to step aside, you have to flatter him. You have to tell him the office is beneath him."
"Now, I'm telling you, when you have a bunch of people who study for three years and conclude that water does not solve dehydration, and then prevent water companies from advertising that water promotes a healthy hydrated lifestyle, I'm sorry. These are liberals. They're insane, they're stupid, they're crazy, whatever else you want to say, but it is important and it matters to understand and accept the ideology that makes these people do and believe this kind of absolutely insane thing."
"You put six partisan Democrats on this committee who have as their number one objective reelecting Barack Obama and I will guarantee you that there is no way that this problem's gonna be solved."
"The world would be such a better place if liberals -- if their power -- represented their genuine minority status in this country, because they're truly a minority in this country."
"I don't know about you, but I don't react well when my intelligence is insulted, when Obama treats me like I'm an absolute idiot. There are no new jobs in the American Jobs Act. There aren't any tax cuts in it. And he wants taxes to go up."
"Liberalism cannot be allowed to fail. Socialism cannot be allowed to fail. So something else must be blamed when it doesn't work. In Obama's case the fallback is blame Bush; blame your predecessors; the problem's worse than we even knew."
"I gotta tell you, Obama would love it if fewer people started paying attention to what he's doing. It would make it easier to get all this destruction finished."
"All Obama can do is try to paint a picture of abject fear of the Republicans. All he can do is tell the country that he's gonna save them from the Republicans. He can't tell us what he's gonna do 'cause he'd never get reelected. Wouldn't-a gotten elected in the first place."

Six things to watch for as the GOP presidential candidates participate in a debate tonight.
The head of Egypt's ruling military council, in a rare public address to countrymen again embroiled in widespread protest, vowed to move up the timeline of presidential elections and suggested he was willing to hold a public referendum on the role of the country's military.

Numerous observers have pointed out how the media and liberals (sorry for the redundancy) lavished sympathy on Occupy Wall Street until it became untenable to continue, after which they began to airbrush their previous encomia.

Much of Israeli Defense Minister Barak's comments to Fareed Zakaria on CNN over the weekend had the formulaic quality of official public statements, but their urgency seemed to me a slight departure.

How blessed we are in America, even with challenges. Nancy Pelosi says Catholics have this conscious-thing that puts women at risk. No, abortion is not good.
