This type of incompetence does make you wonder - how has the US survived for this long. States going bankrupt, the whole country going bankrupt, a shutdown imminent - it looks like no one ever has or ever will learn from past mistakes.
RUSH: I don't believe what I just heard. Obama's talking right now about the potential government shutdown. Do you know what he said? (imitating Obama) "If you're planning on going to Yellowstone Park, you can't, it's gonna be closed. I don't know, you have to call, that money you put in that resort, get your money back, they may not have refunds." And he started talking about how it's gonna have a negative impact on the recovery at just this moment when the recovery is coming back, economy is rebounding, businesses don't like uncertainty. (laughing) They're gonna shut down the economy, he said. We're gonna shut down the economy. He keeps saying that the Republicans want it to be my way or the highway. When has he ever compromised on anything? This is the guy that runs around and tells the Republicans, "I won."
But, folks, if you weren't around in 1995 let me tell you why this Yellowstone stuff is funny, because it's so predictable. In 1995 during the budget shutdown, which happened in the wintertime around Thanksgiving, Christmas, the first guest during the government shutdown on CNN was some guy who, turned out was a fan of this show. But the guy owned the sleigh ride concession at Yellowstone National Park. And he's on Larry King complaining about no business 'cause it was the government that paid him. He owned the concession but they paid him. In other words, when the government shut down so did his sleigh rides. And that became the metaphor here for the joke, and now here's Obama, 16 years later, and the example he gives is if you're gonna go to Yellowstone Park, it's closed! And if you've put a lot of money into your resort rental I hope you can get it back. They might not offer refunds. (laughing) And launches into a discussion on how this is gonna damage the economy.
