" Healthcare reform may just be the new third rail in American politics now brand new polls are showing. At the president's push for government run health care may be responsible for the end of Obama mania today's. Rasmussen daily presidential tracking poll shows that the anointed ones disapproval rating."

" Is now higher than his approval rating."

" And on health care overwhelming majority of those polled say that."

" Not passing health care reform this year would be better than passing the democrats' plan joining us help sort through all of this columnist who seem off and on national review online."

" And they will be filly in. For the great Rush Limbaugh tomorrow. Now the now the people don't know that microphones really gold that is a real gold and had only and you well nation get my first five minutes filling in for him once. A microphone fell to the ground on might no my career is over -- that's not that's -- to get out trying to about it that well good lively give and Philip and -- great job. But let's talk a little about these polls. President's approval rating every reputable poll shows he's closing around healthcare is losing ground. What's your analysis well his his pass through."

" coming down now to meet the unpopularity of his politics. Basically it's only a few weeks since Newsweek is telling us that he's a kind of dog do besides the -- market colossus -- and the more he's connected up with these policies the -- he's just another 5050 president. Like his supposedly discredited predecessor. And I think that's because most people and a lot of people believed that he really was this post partisan centrist to have pragmatic fiscally conservative. Figure. That he campaigned as an issue and a few others pointed out he's not he's. The extreme left wing is where he's lived all his life and the -- transformative domestic political agenda the people that won't."

" What you make of what was going on we discuss this with Dick Morris. This floating this trial balloon about eliminating the public option which I argue it's still going to be government run -- than -- control cost is though that ration. What do you make what they did yes I agree with you I think this is -- kind of -- what what he -- news -- something he needs to get across the river. And -- the bridge because once you do it won't be possible. To go back to what he has to do is create the conditions that embryo. Government health care because that's the fastest way. To a prominent left of center political culture that's true in Canada. That's true in Europe it's good to guarantee opponent left to send a political culture -- you need to get some form of government line station held power. This is their whole all the holy Grail of the laughed yeah. I mean they've put a lot of political capital in the bank the American people don't want it now I -- pretty large margin exactly. So they gonna try to force it down America's -- I think they've had they've had tobacco but I think they will compost Benin and several payment a lot of stake for this they pounded to death but that's absolutely what it what it means the -- Fraser health authority in British Columbia. Has just announced it's cutting back on senior is as services to terminate his budget deficit and it's gonna cut elective side -- is by 15%. What that means is that you can elect to have the century but the government -- intellect to give it to you here that's what government healthcare. Government bureaucrats inciting themselves between new annual doctor that's where there was -- let me just -- approve our audience at home poll 57%. Don't see the stimulus working as was on the front page of USA in that in today's edition. Look the government can't run crack cash for clunkers and mark that the bank Medicare is bankrupt the Social Security now bankrupt. Why is it any American that has any confidence that they could run the health care industry so little bit they do the this H1N1 flu vaccine they were supposed to have whatever it was. 120 million shots ready by the full -- mass that is ME MB forty million batteries won't have to think of anything you like. Would you want to run by the government would you like to go on vacation to a government run hotel 91 they have those in the news in the eastern bloc. Nobody wants government money anything that's important to them to look at it look at the latest not only 57% don't think the stimulus is working here. We got home prices declining -- of the latest headlines and as it relates to the economy retail sales are down revenue to the government step out of last week we announced that the government. In one year's quadruple the deficit. Foreclosures are run up the cost the government they went to August 12 this year which is you know nearly two thirds of the year we work for the government. And they wanna buy G five's for politicians right right. Which is disgusting by the way. I mean that's really what's driving a lot of the anger out. Is that people like Collins Specter and Nancy Pelosi that our representatives and not our rulers -- that. And that's what that's what's sad. A driving. A lot of this trend but you're right this is all completely wasted and the and that's why his approval ratings full and because people are saying no matter how truly is. I -- homes falling in value if you -- job is in jeopardy if your health -- is in jeopardy what to -- what is it to have a super cool precedent it's not enough. What do you make -- we just -- Katie Abram on the program. What do you make of the attacks against. American citizens and the name of the mobsters that to make bad Nazis. What do you why would the Democrats do that what are what strategically tactically I think I think they have -- did pay effectively with individuals that it rejected accommodated -- Sarah Palin now -- that -- hoping to complete nonsense as if you think packing companies there's anti globalization summit summoned to the summit of the Americas. How -- these people come in these youthful activists Senecal coming -- the town. They throw bricks for McDonald's they smashed the street and windows and everybody says oh well -- just that's just fed idealism left wing idealism doesn't matter how much you trash and destroy. In the name of let's bring nine -- is this is this does the realistic model can isolate polarize I think it is I think they can't afford these ordinary citizens. -- what's -- is that not even Republican norm right wing a lot of them element just seniors who are concerned about what's gonna happen so many cash. They know they're not. Agents of dot forces. -- ordinary citizens confronting time representatives. Who have forgotten that they are citizen legislators and not. The gulfstream. Rule at least we forget the term public servant. Morning it is supposed to be public service I hit my final question of Korea. Look this they may be. Repositioning. Where they are I don't believe they've given up their ultimate goal. Which is the elimination of the employee benefits system a single Payer system Obama is on record as he Husseini once. Where does this end up. That they now go back. To the drawing board come up with the talking points -- they go through incremental -- what -- they would they want an embryo plan that contains within it at the seeds for a government health can assist co -- but the -- any different than the so called public I don't know -- I don't think so because in the end if you have -- a government. Perspective. On health -- it leads to rationing the thing about a death and the panel. Isn't that it's a panel that actually says we're denying you this treatment is that the whole system. Is in fact any kind of -- panel because it has to make judgments about letting mr. Smith -- And mr. Jones and internationalization. Of you'll balding I'm -- that bad then you have the government says. We have the right to decide whether you can have your hip replaced within the right to decide that they ration care than dictate the price you. -- addicted to supply and they run competition out of the market up front that I happen everywhere. Partly to -- for Rushmore yet. I will be listened mark good to see if they always have and time now to check in with --"
