Fed-Up Limbaugh Unleashes Firestorm: Obama ‘Pretends to Care About the Middle Class but Lives Like a King at the Public Trough’

Ever since former governor Mitt Romney made his “about 15 percent” comment Tuesday morning, media outlets have been reporting almost non-stop that a) the GOP candidate is wealthy and b) his effective federal tax rate seems very low.
Apparently, the media’s fascination with the former Massachusetts governor’s comments proved too much for radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. On his show Wednesday, Limbaugh had some “you shoulda’ said” advice for the GOP hopeful.
“When all this kerfuffle starts about Mitt Romney, this 15 percent tax rate, he can say, ‘Look, we live in America, not some failed Soviet satellite. I favor a flat, or fair tax. I want to get rid of the IRS, or most of it. I favor denying big spending Obamacare liberals our income. I favor putting Obama and his reckless spending radicals on a diet, a diet we call private property rights. We call it limited government. We call it taking our country back,’” Limbaugh said.
However, Limbaugh was just getting warmed up. It’s not enough to simply refute the attack, Limbaugh said, but conservatives should go on the offensive and preach the message of conservatism.
“This class warfare garbage, it might work in these cloistered campaign circles surrounding Obama, but this is not our country. This is not a country that has been living under class envy all of these years since its interception. This is not about have and have-nots. It’s about protecting all of us from a bloated federal government. It’s about protecting us from everybody who benefits from bloated federal government and never-ending federal spending,” Limbaugh said.
From there, Limbaugh launched into the type of heated tirade that made him famous in the early 90s (via Daily Rushbo):
Full transcript (via Rush Limbaugh):
Now, here‘s what Romney doesn’t do, all this talk about Romney, 15 percent, his speech income, he doesn’t know how much, how little and so forth. Let me tell you what Romney doesn’t do. Romney has not played over 90 rounds of golf in three years while everybody is suffering. Romney has not flown all over the world on the federal government’s dime. Romney has not had lavish parties and concerts on the public’s dime. Romney has not lived like a king on other people’s money. He has sent his wife on government jets four hours ahead of him to the same destination. Romney is not responsible, nor is any other Republican, for the 16 percent unemployment, real unemployment in this country. Romney is not responsible for increased fuel and food costs. He’s not responsible for any of this.
That would be Obama, who pretends to care about the middle class but lives like a king at the public trough. Mitt Romney’s not the problem. Newt Gingrich isn’t the problem. Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, not the problem. We find ourselves in this mess because of Barack Obama. And here come some people who want to dramatically change course, reverse course. And all we get in the news media is what a bunch of reprobates they are, when every one of them is a fine human being. Every one of them is a decent person. Every one of them is an average American in their own ways. Obama is not, his wife is not.
Now, if the left wants to discuss this kind of thing and the media wants to talk about it, let’s talk about it. What financial sacrifices have the Obamas made? What money of theirs do they have that is theirs, that they have earned? How many no-show jobs has Michelle Obama had? How many people get to spend other people‘s money like they do and then act like they’re entitled to do it, in the midst of so much economic suffering throughout the country? Mitt Romney‘s not up there telling people don’t go to Las Vegas, don’t go to resorts. Mitt Romney’s not up there promising to focus laser-like on jobs and then not do it. Mitt Romney hasn’t grown the federal budget by $5 trillion.
Do you realize that Barack Obama has already spent the federal budget for the two years of the next administration, whoever’s in charge of it. He’s already spent it. The entire federal budget for fiscal 2013 and 2014 is already spent. That’s how much money Obama spent. Romney hasn’t spent a dime of it. Nor has Newt Gingrich. The entire federal budget for two years after Obama loses in 2012 is already spent, folks. How much money did Mitt Romney throw at Solyndra? How much of your money did Mitt Romney throw at Solyndra and all of these other green energy companies? How many automobile companies did Mitt Romney take over with your money and then demand they start making cars that nobody wants?
Did Mitt Romney turn down the Keystone pipeline? Is Mitt Romney responsible for rising energy costs and depleting energy supplies? All of this is Barack Obama. Every ounce of misery, economic misery in this country is directly traceable to the Oval Office and the offices of Pelosi and Reid, and every other Democrat on Capitol Hill, and every Democrat staff member. Mitt Romney‘s tax rate is not responsible for one deleterious thing that’s happened to any person in this country. Mitt Romney has done more to empower and enrich individuals with Bain Capital and the other things he‘s done at the Olympics than Barack Obama could ever hope to do because Barack Obama’s done nothing but ruin people’s lives. And we want to talk about Mitt Romney’s 15 percent tax rate and how much he makes on speeches, while we don‘t talk about Bill Clinton’s $82 million in speeches, his average fee of $181,000 a speech.
Mitt Romney had nothing to do with the subprime mortgage crisis. Mitt Romney had nothing to do with the bottoming out of the housing market. Mitt Romney had nothing to do with half this country losing the value of its number one asset, its home. And nor did Newt Gingrich, and neither did Rick Perry or Rick Santorum. What are we talking about here? Mitt Romney has not traveled to a foreign country and apologized for America any time, anywhere, anyplace. Nor has Newt Gingrich, nor has Rick Santorum or Rick Perry. Not one decision that has led to economic disaster in this country, the decline of this country, has been made by Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney or Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann or Jon Huntsman, any of the others that have sought the Republican nomination.
And in all of this economic downturn I ask you: What financial sacrifices have the Obamas made? See, one thing Romney could say: “If I’m elected president, I will actually be taking a pay cut, but for Barack Obama the presidency was a path to becoming a millionaire.” The presidency is going to cost Mitt Romney money. The presidency was a path to wealth for Barack Obama and for Bill Clinton. Now, you want to talk about morality and decency and who’s a good guy and who cares about the little guy and so forth? This is all a crock, folks. This is all the way this silly game is played. Of course, it‘s frustrating for us that there’s (groans) apparently not a candidate that thinks like I am articulating things here.
I know it’s frustrating, but this is what happens when there’s not a genuine conservative. Newt comes close, in his moments where he shines. If somebody said something like this in a debate, the standing O [ovation] would never end. The moderators would lose total control of the debate. Plus, everything I said has an added benefit: It’s all true. None of it is made up. In fact, I just scratch the surface. Nobody ever says this kind of stuff to Obama’s face. They asked Jay Carney yesterday, “Well, what about the Clem transcripts?” Carney said, “Well (muttering). It’s not important. It’s not relevant! What do you mean? He’s the King! He doesn’t have to tell you that.”
That’s just their attitude.

So Obama is a socialist AND is not trying to help the middle class and poor? And the republicans do support the average American over the rich?

He spends money foolishly, on unsound projects. An analogy: He’s like those who buy homes more costly than they can afford, new cars they can’t afford, use multiple credit cards to the hilt and then wonder why they’re in debt over their heads and lose everything.
That’s what Obama’s done to us. We’re a broke nation, owe more to China than we can repay and he keeps spending on losing projects that are already going broke. Shovel ready jobs anyone?

Posted on January 19, 2012 at 8:48pmThat’s a lot of interesting responses to my post, which only pointed out the obvious. The choice Americans are facing today is rather as a country we should continue to distribute the wealth upward to the rich and compensate by increasing the tax burden on the middle class and poor, or not? Do we, as Americans, support reducing taxes for the very richest Americans, and make you pay more to make up for it? We as a country know for a fact that doesn’t create jobs or improve the economy: Bush dramatically cut taxes twice, and those tax cuts neither created jobs nor improved the economy. It it a simple, scientific fact that does not work. The middle class is making the same or less than they did 30 years ago, but the rich are becoming richer and making more money than ever. In America, the middle class is shrinking, the percentage of poor is growing and the wealth of the country is being distributed upward to the super rich. http://www.epi.org/publication/tenth_anniversary_of_the_bush-era_tax_cuts/
Do Americans really believe that Romney, who is worth 1/4 of a billion dollars, should pay less taxes than you?
Of course not. But the Republicans have a strategy. They want to convince you it’s patriotic to pay more taxes so the rich can pay less. Fortunately Americans aren’t that stupid.

Your comment shows a lack of financial understanding. A lack of critical thinking allows you to claim the government is redistributing wealth to the rich and condemn that idea, then advocate the same thing in reverse.
The answer to your confusion lies in the example I gave you. Give a 100% tax break to one making 40K and they will receive a lower financial benefit than one receiving a 1% tax break making 10M.
Only ignorance could claim the Bush tax cuts, applied to all wage earners, crashed the economy. Believing that taking money out of the economy via taxes will grow it and leaving more money in the economy via tax reduction hurts it is ignorance.
It’s intellectually dishonest to say tax cuts cost the government. For that to be, you would have to believe all income is governments to begin with, it isn’t. If your kid asks for $50 and you give them 20, did it cost them 30? That’s what you believe. If what you’re saying were true, you would have to add every dollar of income earned and not given to the government as a cost.
Overall I give you an A for effort but believe you should apply commonsense and critical thinking to the subject then correct your mistakes.

As one who would like any and all information to make an informed opinion, it would help knowing what you know. From my seat, It is Paul’s own words and his history which, at this point, does not make him the candidate for me. If he is to win the nomination, then I would vote for him. However, let it be known, I would vote for a can of tuna before I would vote for Obama. It seem many believe Ron Paul is not suitable for the position of POTUS. May it be his foreigner policy or the fact he has a trail of anti Israel/Semitic views in his past. Either or, Lot’s of Conservatives do not support him.

Posted on January 19, 2012 at 3:47amBetterDays. After much evaluating, I’ve decided to vote for Dr. Paul. Of course, like all sane people on the fiscal right, I totally agree that his positions are the most attractive to save us from monetary doom, but his ‘international’ positions cause hesitation. Debating the merits of his foreign positions, I lean more toward he than the others. I remember the former Soviet Union being a MUCH bigger and scarier threat than Iran or North Korea, and we weren’t belligerently confronting them militarily. Walk softly and carry a big stick used to be our motto; I don’t know when we became so overly hawkish. Still, where I hesitate so much is in asking myself, what if Paul is wrong? I’ve done much soul searching; may I plead with you to do the same, should Paul not win the nomination and decide to go third party. I too have my concerns here too that a Santorum or any other of the other candidates might be as belligerent on the right as Obama is on the left. Indeed, it’s possible that both are a threat to shut off our freedoms, however, with the potential candidates, we can’t be sure. With what we now have, we know for sure.

That being $20,000. The original monies have all ready been taxed. This is why it is called a capital gains tax. This is why it is disingenuous of the media and people like Mr. Buffet to make claims that they pay a lower rate than their secretaries. If the only money a person makes in a year is a capital gain this is fine by me. Well not really as I would prefer to not have to pay taxes at all. Alas I don’t think that will happen in my life time so instead I hope to achieve the level of success that will allow me to live off of only capital gains. Which would be great.

And, after he got the REAL security briefing, the marxist ideologue Obamma could not find it in his ideologness(not really a word but, that’s the best I have right now) to change the Bush policies. Wonder why? Obamma is an ideologue and he’s only portaining to keep power. But, at the same time, he’s going to keep his daughters safe.

I don’t think you live in the real world, given you seem to think that NatSec and Econ are unlinked issues…and that non-interventionism is a safe tactic.
The global economy runs not on the actual movement of material or capital, but the perception of the normal movement of material and capital. Like it or not, we are part of that global group, therefore our economy runs on PERCEPTION, not on the actual movements. This fact is why we have such wild fluctuations in the markets all the bloody time, instead of steady growth.
Part of that perception problem is the perception of solvency of the nations, which is interlinked with the perception of security. Ron Paul does not want to interfere with Iran getting their own nuclear weapon. An argument can be made that Pakistan has nukes, but keep in mind that Pakistan is not suicidal like Iran and they have another nuclear-armed nation next door that will blow them off the map if they so much as fart in India’s direction. Therefore, Pakistan is a non-issue…for now.
Okay, Iran gets a bomb. Good for them, right? Oh yes, it is exactly what they want. Say they take that bomb downtown Tel Aviv and detonate it. Oops, another 2 million Jews erased off the face of the planet. According to Ron Paul, not our country and not our problem, right? Wrong.

Think back to what I started with. The global economy runs on PERCEPTION OF SOLVENCY. If you take out the perception of security (after all, if Iran does it once, they can do it MULTIPLE times), then the global economy wipes itself out in a panic. Ron Paul, savior that he thinks he is, cannot divorce the US economy from the rest of the world before Iran pulls that kind of stunt.
After that, the human population, which is dependent on modern processes to sustain its present population, reduces itself by attrition. We’re sitting around 7 billion people right now. If even one major city on planet is nuked, you can expect the world population to reduce to roughly 3 billion. Doesn’t matter whose fault it is, our fault, Iran’s fault, nobody’s fault, if a city gets cored out by a nuke the world goes straight to hell, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.
Another thing to consider: psychology. Iran is not commanded by rational people. They want chaos, they want destruction, they believe it will accelerate the coming of the 12th imam and usher in a new age of Muslim control. For them, nuking a city off the map is simply one way to jump start the chaos, they just don’t realize how effective it will be.
On this point, someone who would indirectly allow this manner of destruction, I cannot vote Ron Paul. I like everything else he has going (less the drugs issues), but I am not signing a suicide pact for those principles.

I won’t ask you to change your vote, or your principles. I will ask you to use some strategy more than just one move ahead.
Right now, Ron Paul will not win. Like it or not, he will not win. However, we have two choices ahead of us:
1: We allow Obama to retain the White House, and thus allow him to finish off this country.
2: We elect someone else, and can trade time for space to begin correcting the problems.
Yes, we’ll still be heading in the wrong direction, but at least we won’t get to the edge before the next election. TRADE TIME FOR SPACE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. It may require some holding of noses, but if we can neutralize the POTUS slot and elect more TEA Party personnel, we can begin moving in the right direction.
If Obama holds the WH, we’re fscked. If you want to play butt-hurts and not vote / write in, we lose by default. Grow some strategy and think ahead; this problem cannot be fixed overnight even if RP wins, but it will never be fixed if Obama wins. TRADE TIME FOR SPACE. You have a nation wanting to fix the problem, but being obstructionist just because Paul won’t win is not going to help the problem.
I have said my peace. I implore you all to think ahead and use strategic thinking to achieve our goals: proper freedom and liberty for all.

Posted on January 19, 2012 at 7:48amNew Madrid is a fault line that runs up the center of the Mississippi Valley. The plans are to blow the fault, since it’s not a subductive fault, and create a new sea where the Mississippi Valley used to be. Houston to the Florida panhandle all the way up to Chicago will be underwater, according to the ‘new maps’.
From Wiki:
In October 2009, a team composed of University of Illinois and Virginia Tech researchers headed by Amr S. Elnashai, funded by FEMA, considered a scenario where all three segments of the New Madrid fault ruptured simultaneously. The report found that there would be significant damage in the eight states studied – Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee – with the probability of additional damage in states farther from the NMSZ. Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri would be most severely impacted, and the cities of Memphis, Tennessee and St. Louis, Missouri would be severely damaged. The report estimated 86,000 casualaties, including 3,500 fatalities; 715,000 damaged buildings; and 7.2 million people displaced, with 2 million of those seeking shelter, primarily due to the lack of utility services. Direct economic losses, according to the report, would be at least $300 billion.

Posted on January 18, 2012 at 8:52pmI heard Beck on O’reilly say, “Romney would mop the floor with Obama in a debate.” Are you kidding me, Glenn? Romney would stutter, stammer; change his mind, and just plain lose to the ‘teleprompter-in-chief.’ Now, Newt would be quite skilled in mopping the debate floor with poser Bo.

Posted on January 18, 2012 at 9:03pmLOL Romney. This guy says NDAA is good and he would vote for it. Dummies like Glenn are for it. Basically Glenn has sold out. He has been in the Mormon camp the whole time. He picked two Bachman and Santorum that dont have a snowballs chance in hell in getting elected. This was to allow him not to look like he is push the Mormon. Now that they are out of the way he will use his radio and his website to try and tear down Romney’s rivals.
Yeah, who cares Romney is a self proclaimed progressive. Who cares he said in the debate he will attack anyone anywhere, to hell with borders.
I assure you, if you people try and put in Romney, or any of these other progressive/warmongering/big government/ globalist they will lose. Ron Paul’s followers will make sure of it. Our guy might not win, but we will not go along like we did with Mcain!!!!
Its time for Mutiny!!!!!

Posted on January 18, 2012 at 9:10pmYou know, MUTINY, you ‘paulbearers’ are childish, ignorant, and full of blind anger. By the way, you make your quirky “doctor of the newsletter world” look even worse than he is. Print out what you write, then look at it in ten years. You might be shocked with yourself. Oh, and save your pathetic threats; you are one of the unreasonable, and real conservatives know we can’t count on your sort.

I have watched every single debate, and in every single debate Romney has absolutely crushed questions about his “changing stances.” I love watching him answer questions that the moderators think are tough.
I will admit that Newt is a good debater, and I find myself often agreeing wholeheartedly with him. He is also a little more fluid in his answers than Romney. Beyond that, however, he is a pretty terrible person. If the liberals can make George W. Bush out to be like Hitler, just imagine what they can do with Newt.

Report Post »The last thing I am concerned with is how the libs describe our candidate. I have learned to ignore the foolish evil ways of the libs. They only win if we let them. I am not Newt’s judge in the personal dept, but I judge him as a voter and see him as stronger than the other fellows. I don’t want Mr. Nice Guy; we already had McCain.

Posted on January 19, 2012 at 7:57amTronin, I may suggest the writing/reviewing exercise to you as well. Not all of us ‘paultards’, ‘paulbots’ or whatever ‘juvenile’ name you can pull out of your arse to call us are that way. Most of us, in fact, respect and admire Dr. Paul for having to face everything that you and people like you sling at him. Do me a favor, please read his newsletters and get back to me with how many racial slurs (the slur defines the level of racism, not objective obserevations.) you can point out to me. Count out how many times Dr. Paul says ‘N*gger’, ‘Spook’, ‘Coon’, ‘Camel-jokey’, ‘rag-head’ or anything else that resembles remarks like those. I consider those examples to be racist. Making an observation that has truth to it, without any personal emotion or feeling attached isn’t racism. Sorry. In order to be racist, I would assume you’d have to have some sort of personal animosity towards a particular group based off a personal experience.

When has Romney bashed a fellow Republican? He is the only one not to do it. Consistently he has set his sights on the problem, Barak H. Obama. “Restoring our Future” is not Romney, it is a group of people determined to get him elected, and they have the 1st amendment right to say whatever they want. Thankfully they have been factual in “Bashing” his opponents, that can’t be said for “Winning our Future.” I have seen more damaging material on Newt from watching videos of his own mouth moving. Don’t accuse Romney of “bashing” his republican rivals. It doesn’t stick.

Posted on January 18, 2012 at 9:17pmThis is where the GOP and Conservatives simply have to pick who the candidate is, get behind him, and go after Obama’s record. It is simple to beat him, just talk about his policies, results and how he is killing jobs, not helping to create an atmosphere for success.
If you have a fire, and a guy is standing there with a gas can, throwing fuel, get him away, take the gas out of his hand, then put out the fire. That is what we need to do, FireObama2012.
