I had the opportunity to be in the car at noon yesterday. Ordinarily, I wouldn't go to any trouble to listen to Rush, even though I do enjoy listening occasionally.
I was disappointed when he said he didn't even bother with Obama's State of the Union address. During the short time I was in the car, he ranted about how Obama's policies were against everything he stood for and how a Republican Congress would never pass any of his proposals. Okay, that's sort of what I was looking for. He did have enough material to know what apparently was said.
But Rush also said when he stopped being interested, he would quit doing the show. He had reached the point where he was no longer interested in the State of the Union address. But he assured us he did not think he would ever lose interest in doing this show.
Just to give you an idea of where I stand, I taped the address and fast-forwarded through the commentary before and after as well as the applause. I thought it all sounded good, and didn't sound like the extreme liberal position Obama is accused of taking on everything. But I understood that a lot of the new jobs were not good-paying and a lot of the people who have health insurance got it because a lot of others can't afford it now or are struggling to pay for it, all to pay the tremendous cost of covering everyone. And where are we going to get the money to pay for all those new programs? They sound good, but maybe it's too much, and too much government in our lives.
