Obama Continues To Feel Our Pain

Japan is in the grips of a national tragedy...radiation wise, and the US is in the grips of a national tragedy - high unemployment, businesses going belly up, 30% on welfare, and Obama is enjoying himself making NCAA picks and playing golf.

Obviously a high stress job like President does need some relax time...but sometimes he does seem a wee bit insensitive. I'm reminded of the president of BP who dared to go on a yachting vacation or something like that during the Gulf Oil crisis - that's what lost him his job, despite the fact that all BP's people were working on the crisis, and as President there's nothing he could have done... but still it's just the thought.

And if the BP guy deserved to lose his job over it, does Obama deserve to lose the respect of his Democrat base?
RUSH: Where's Obama? Where is Obama? I'm still amazed at how utterly out of it Obama is. Where is he? Has he checked out, is he sick? Are his handlers busy in other parts of the world?

Get this. Mrs. Clinton has met with Libyan rebel leaders in Paris. Now, it's safe to do that, I figure, now that the revolution against Khadafy is safely lost. Khadafy's probably gonna win this or has won, so now it's safe to go meet with the rebel leaders, probably trying to arrange a place for 'em to live, Paris, Miami, LA. LA looks a lot like Libya, certain parts of it. I've been there. I have seen it. You've got that going on. I mean it's baffling. His handlers are busy in other parts of the world and unable to give him direction? What's going on? He's acting like a child. The big news about Obama today is that he is going to tape his NCAA bracket picks today to be aired on ESPN tomorrow. I mean that's the news, and that's from our good buddy Jacob Tapper at ABC News. The world anxiously awaits President Obama's revelation of his NCAA basketball brackets. The important work of being president will be broadcast tomorrow.

Did you know the stock market was down 250 this morning? It's at 173 right now. The stock market was down 250. Unemployment, I think that's a little bit of an issue for millions of Americans. Some people say the deficit is not $14 trillion, that it's much higher than that. Have you noticed that gasoline prices are creeping up towards four bucks a gallon? In fact, in Obama's home state of Hawaii they have now gone past four dollars a gallon. You know, this is the time of year, though, folks -- we've learned this from observation -- this is the time of year when the president really starts to focus. This is when Obama calls on past experience and reads everything written on a subject. This is the culmination of endless hours of watching, reading, and thinking about college basketball, the brackets. He's gonna videotape his picks for broadcast on ESPN. It was last year on March 17th the president took time to appear on ESPN to fill out his brackets, explain his picks, and really demonstrate how preparation pays off. That was last year.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: The president, of course, is AWOL. Nobody knows where he is other than taping his NCAA basketball bracket picks for airing on ESPN tomorrow. I got a couple notes when I checked the e-mail during the break. "How does he do?" I don't know, folks. You know, I didn't go to college so I don't have the rah-rah college spirit when it comes to college football or basketball. I don't really get into it. I don't know how his picks work out. I have no clue. My memory tells me that he botched it horribly last year, but I don't really know, and I have not taken the time to look it up.
