My Conversation with a Ranking GOP Leader Who Expects Obama to Moderate After the Election

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I had a conversation this morning with a ranking Republican figure. I'm not going to mention any names. The ranking Republican figure assured me that -- well, didn't assure; that's the wrong word. The ranking Republican figure opined that, if there are huge electoral victories in the House and the Senate for Republicans in November, Obama will do a Clinton and triangulate and moderate and become less liberal.


Now, I listened to this patiently, and with an open mind, and then I expressed my sincere disagreement. I said, "I don't think that's going to happen. I think we're dealing with somebody who's gleeful. He has accomplished a lot. He's extremely happy at what he's been able to pull off in 20 months. And the next two years, he's going to do as much destruction, damage as he can, while blaming Republicans for it all the way." And the ranking Republican said to me, "Do you believe even if it means he won't be reelected in 2012?" I said, "Absolutely. Who's gonna vote for him in 2012 if" -- I mean, his party already is gonna hate his guts. His base, they're not happy with him because he hasn't closed Guantanamo, hasn't gotten out of Iraq or Afghanistan. We don't have single payer health care. I mean, his fringe base is not happy. Democrats that are gonna lose their seats in the House and Senate, they're not going to be happy. I mean, I think he's looking at the next two years as the single greatest opportunity the left has had to totally destruct and reform the country in their image. . . . .
