Each day with this administration comes a new outrage. Fox News, President Obama’s favorite whipping boy, has spent considerable time questioning the appropriateness, and the constitutionality of Obama’s liberal use of “Czars.” The obvious concern is that the appointments are not subject to legislative oversight. We are now told that Obama did not know about his “Pay Czar’s” directive on bank salaries. Either Obama is not being truthful or the Czars are simply a power unto themselves.
Here is Rush on the pay “Czar”:
First we are supposed to believe that little old Barry Obama had no idea that his pay czar was out acting like a fascist, and other czars have and do. Barry was clueless that some rogue czar in his administration was out dictating pay for financial firms? It’s like Barry had no idea that Anita Dunn idolizes Mao Tse-tung? Barry had no idea that Ron Bloom idolizes Mao Tse-tung? Barry had no idea that Van Jones was an avowed Marxist and communist? Barry had no idea of any of this? You see the wall of deniability the press is trying to build up? He didn’t know about any of this. He’s Mr. Perfect. He’s Mr. Clean. He’s Mr. Calm, Cool, and Collected.
He’s reworking the American economy so what’s happening now doesn’t ever happen again. The only way that can happen is if what’s happening now becomes permanent. Let’s go there. Has there ever been a more compelling case, I ask you, for Congress to get rid of every so-called czar there is, has there ever been a bigger bucket of crap poured on Americans and American businesses than this administration and this so-called pay czar who’s acting unilaterally without old Barry’s knowledge?
Is there no one in Congress to stand up and say, “What’s going on? We’re going to investigate this.” You’ve got people acting without the president’s knowledge, interfering in the private sector, capping executive pay. The problem is, the Democrats in Congress are all for this, and Barney Frank, in case you’ve forgotten, wants Congress to go further than even the pay czar has gone. Barney Frank wants the government to regulate pay of every business in the country whether they’ve received bailout money or not.
So it’s no wonder Obama is out there attacking me and Fox News. Who else will report this? That’s what’s really going on here. The people who are reporting the truth in this country are the targets of this administration. Fox News, talk radio, me in particular. That’s what’s going on. The American Thinker has a piece today. There was a hearing yesterday. Joe Lieberman, whatever his Senate health committee is, Lieberman had three administration officials up to talk about the shortage of the H1N1 flu vaccine.
Have you seen any news stories on that? Did you know it happened other than me telling you? If there were a shortage of flu vaccine in the Bush administration and a Senator had called three members of the administration up to explain it, that’s all you’d be hearing about because they’d be trying to create a panic that Bush is incompetent, his administration is so incompetent it’s going to lead to people dying. There was one news agency that reported the results, the story at all. It was Fox News. You can go to Google, you can go to AOL, you can go to any search engine you want and try to find any mainstream story of Lieberman and a hearing with three administration officials on the shortage of H1N1 and it’s not there. They didn’t report it. Only Fox did. And in this way, some people are saying maybe the administration’s plan to marginalize Fox is working. Fox reports something, you simply let it stay with Fox, it doesn’t go anywhere else, and only the Fox audience will know about it. There is definitely collusion, because there’s no difference between Barack Obama and Chris Matthews, Barack Obama or anybody else in the Drive-By Media, they are on the same team, they are doing the same things, just from different locations.
I think everything about this story, this pay czar, is blockbuster. It’s late-night comedy gold. Everything about the story is a lie. Everything about the story, this is in The Politico, but it’s all over the place, it’s at FoxNews.com, every detail about this story has to be a lie. I refuse to believe that Obama didn’t know what Feinberg was doing. In fact, the truth probably is Feinberg’s following orders. Feinberg is following orders, and I guaran-damn-tee you, Obama said you get up there and you rape ‘em and you make ‘em poor and you make ‘em pay and you let ‘em know. Just don’t tell ‘em that I knew anything about it. You go out there and you’re on your own and I’ll back you up.
I don’t believe for a moment that Obama had no idea what his pay czar was doing when he announced these kinds of cuts. “One official told Fox News that Feinberg from the start had the independent authority to work with companies and make such a call. Obama was never required to sign off before final decisions were made.” Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, WTF, who the hell is going to believe this? Sign me up for the Ten Million Man March, folks. This is so much worse than Clinton hiding behind Janet Reno’s skirt after the Waco invasion, it isn’t even funny. Obama didn’t sign off? What the hell else has he turned over to his czars? I mean it’s all a lie.
Here’s another headline from Fox News: “White House Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg Did Not Seek Obama’s Approval.” I don’t believe it for a minute. I believe that Feinberg could not have acted without Obama’s instructions. Make no mistake, Obama is not an innocent bystander, he’s not Mr. Perfect, this guy’s got a chip on his shoulder and he’s going after everybody that he thinks is responsible for this nation’s immorality and unjustness and unfairness, and those people happen to be those who achieve. I would really like to ask everybody, because I know there are a lot of people happy about this, this is what’s scary, there are a lot of people happy that these guys have been raped this way. That’s why I started the subject saying “I know you’ve got mixed emotions.”
But I want to ask you a question, I want to ask you how is your life better now that the pay czar is in control? Okay, these Wall Street guys got 90% of their salaries cut. I want to know how that’s improved your life. If all you’re doing is sitting around saying, “Yeah, man, yeah, man, you screw ‘em,” is your life any better for that? You want to live on vengeance? Is vengeance your diet? Is vengeance your meal? Show me the calories. Show me the nutritional value of it.
Just like when the rich get tax increases, “Yeah, man, yeah, man, soak ‘em,” does it make your life any better? So Wall Street execs are gonna lose 90% of their compensation. How is that job search coming for you, by the way? So you gonna get a new job now because of this? You gonna get more money? You going to have a better life because Wall Street got screwed? Cut salaries of a hotshot Wall Street guy, no problem, I’m not a Wall Street guy, you go ahead and cut ‘em. Go ahead and raise taxes on cigarettes. I’m not one of the cigarette smokers. Ripple effect. It’s all coming. It’s going to affect all of us. It’s right out in the open, we can all see it. By the way, in the Associated Press story on this, is this little paragraph: “Elsewhere, Freddie Mac –” a supposed private sector business, it’s a government-run mortgage house “– Freddie Mac is giving its chief financial officer compensation worth as much as five-and-a-half million dollars, including a $2 million signing bonus. The government-controlled mortgage finance company doesn’t have to follow the executive compensation rules because it’s being paid outside the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.” So you work for the government and you get paid whatever you want. Five-and-a-half million to the Freddie Mac CEO, Wall Street guys get canned, get raped. And Barry Obama had no clue. Do you believe that?
