Rush: You know the smartest thing Obama coulda done when his oil rig blew up?

Rush Limbaugh, from his Wednesday show:

RUSH: You know the smartest thing Obama coulda done when his oil rig blew up? Call Sarah Palin and her husband. Do you realize that Sarah Palin and her husband have a gazillion times the knowledge and experience in the oil business than does Barack Hussein Obama. Mmm...mmm...mmm? What does Obama do? What does he actually do, folks? I don't care what happens. You can have a disaster, you could have a near terrorist bomb go off, you have the oil spill. What does Obama do? He still goes out, and all he can do is talk about what should be and what can be if only he were more powerful and if the government were bigger. If he is forced to actually address real-world events and issues, he is without direction. He doesn't have any experience. He is entirely lost. Unless there's somebody can put a paragraph or two on the teleprompter, he can't come up with it himself.

All he can say to everything that happens is, first, whatever happens, demonize somebody on the terror bomb -- demonize Emirates Airlines, demonize whoever, demonize British Petroleum, demonize the oil industry in general -- and then say (doing impression), "If we had more power, if I had the ability to do things I can't now do, the government bigger, weeeell, this would never happen." That's his sole approach to everything. Whatever goes wrong it's because government isn't big enough, and he doesn't have enough power. We see this with unemployment. Obama likes to say that we are in an economic recovery and that he has saved the nation from the brink. But there is no recovery -- and there was no brink, by the way! He says these things because they are entirely and purely self-serving.
