I heard it on a local radio show. It sounds impossible but the guy that was on in the mornings was pretty reliable. It will be hard to find but I will look.
No, I said it was a local guy. Dale Jackson maybe. I like Rush but don't usually have a chance to catch him.
Well, I can understand why you like Limbaugh. He doesn't clutter up the mind with factual information. For example, he won't remind you that the Democratic president inherited the worst economic meltdown since the Great Depression or that job losses were coming in at a rate of 800,000 per month. He won't tell you that a Democratic platform committee wrote the "God"-less language and that Obama personally intervened, much to the displeasure of many of his supporters, to include references to "God". He also won't remind you that "that" in "You didn't build that" actually referred to the things that government built--i.e. infrastructure such as roads, bridges, schools, etc.--and not the businesses that people built on top of the infrastructure. And he also won't tell you that past Republican presidents have also raised taxes and expanded government. No, Rush won't clutter your mind with actual facts. That's not what his fans want to hear.
If Bush was so bad, then wouldn't Obama's continuing the same policies make him bad too?
We need less God, & more Milton Friedman.
I don't see Obama out there continuing the policy of starting wars over lies. That's a big one. Can't blame Bushy though, god was part of his foreign policy.
I'd rank his continuing wars based on lies to be just as bad.
Well this is tactic number one. Blame someone else. He inherited 6% unemployment, made it much worse, then said if we let him spend a TRILLION dollars then uneployment would never top 8%, he did and it did anyway. The only reason he inherited any high unemployment is that the democrats told the republicans they were crazy in 02 hearings where Mccain and others told them that Fanny Mae, Freddy Mack , and the whole housing bubble that carter and clinton made was going to burst, which it did. He apparently gave all the money to the rich banks and bogus green energy idiots because only they didn't suffer, they just made others suffer. He has since spent an additional TRILLION every year we do not have and it has only gotten worse and worse.
I am sure he did. I am sure the president just could not get his own DNC party to put God on the platform again. The same president that denounced the bible in public, made Notre Dame cover up their cross, and sat in a hate filled Church for twenty years and then said he didn't know what they taught. In fact apparently he could not get any cooperation for the first two years of his presedency within his own party either because among everything else he blames he also says he was resisted for the past 4 years by congress. Apparently he will throw any one under the bus to save his neck.
The government produces nothing. Those same buisnesses that Obama has done everything possible to destroy send the government the money that it pockets a large percentage of and promises to give away another percentage of to people who will not work, and only spend what little is left on infrastructure. Buisness built it all, the government was just a collasally ineffeciant self justifying middle man.
Your absession with Rush is disturbing. I did not get a single thing I said from him. This is just sick. Obama has spent more money that any previous president, maybe all of them combined, has done the most harm, and least good, and then taken more credit, and given more blame for less reason than any past president. Your Rush fetish aside the Health care plan alone will bankrupt a country already up to it's grand childrens eyes in debt and wreck the greatest health care system in human history along the way. I do not expect any better from a party that believes killing murderers is wrong but killing babies for no other reason than birth control is just fine.
I think you do have an obsession with Rush. You just don't admit it. Almost everything you talk about I've heard Rush either say or start.
I don't want to get any of your cumpulsive obsession with Rush on me. I don't do crazy.
That is about as far from true as a statement can possibly get. Cognative dissonance must be a virtue on the left.
Ditto, I actually looked for the justification for it's inclusion. It had something to do with what policies were voted on by who. I will see if I can find it again. Even if it should not have been included the rest would more than make the case.
You really need to check your facts with sources other than right wing historical revisionists. You can look up unemployment figures at the Bureau of Labor Statistics web site. You will see that Obama did not inherit 6% unemployment. He took office in late January 2009, when unemployment was at 7.8% and going through the roof. Bush himself initiated TARP and asked for money to fund the auto bailout. Congress authorized the automotive bailout before Obama took office, but at the urging of Obama in December.
The original language didn't need to mention the word "God". It was already a blatant endorsement of state support for religious activities. It was Obama's decision alone to alter the language to take away what he perceived as a bogus issue drummed up by Fox News. It is utterly hypocritical for a member of the Tea-Party-whipped Republican Party to point a finger of blame at Obama for not getting his party to march in lockstep with his every decision. Both parties have dissension in their ranks, and he actually got very significant legislation passed in his first two years. He made some very unpopular decisions to bring it off, but that is what we expect of our presidents.
What a web of lies Republicans spin over the role of government in producing jobs. And the lies are even more hypocritical when spun by people who have government jobs or businesses that depend on government contracts. The main reason why the recovery has been so anemic is the loss of government jobs. The private sector has been experiencing steady job growth under Obama, but Republicans are trying to impose austerity measures on the economy that will drive us right back into severe recession. And your dig at people on unemployment as "unwilling to work" is just blaming the victims of the meltdown of the economy brought about by 8 years of Republican domination. Bush did a remarkable job, didn't he? It originally took three straight Republican presidencies after WWI--Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover--to bring on the Great Depression. Bush almost managed it again, except that Obama managed to stop the hemorrhage and save millions of jobs in his first year in office.
Your babbling rant is taking us off-topic. Let's just stick with the economy. Bush himself set up the TARP at the urging of Treasury Secretary Paulson. It doesn't matter whether you approved. Bush didn't like it, but he was staring into the abyss. Paulson, as is typical of Republicans, did not put many restrictions on, or build an audit trail for, the money that was handed out. It took Obama to restore some sense of accountability to the process and to administer the successful bailout of the auto industry, which Romney still argues should have been allowed to collapse. :foot:
