RUSH: (Complete video below) Obama has appointed Tim Geithner and the budget director Jack Lew to work with congressional Republicans and Democrats to come up with a new deal on taxes in the next couple of days. Now, imagine having the nation's taxes in the hands of a guy who couldn't even figure out TurboTax, that's our Treasury secretary Tim Geithner, the tax cheat. And that little twerp, I mean there's another one, he's in charge of dealing with Republicans and Democrats on the Bush tax cut extension controversy.
CANTOR: I was pleased on a number of accounts, first that the president did recognize that the election meant that the people want to see results out of Washington. And I think you have heard now a process being put into place that hopefully we can begin producing those results; first and foremost, take away the uncertainty around the tax hikes or rates that exist right now. Secondly, I was encouraged by the president's remarks regarding his perhaps not having reached out enough to us in the last session. And that this meeting was the beginning of a series in which he hoped that we could work together in a different fashion for the benefit of the American people given the problems that we face.
RUSH: I am literally gonna get sick here. Ha-ha. Literally gonna puke. Who is the author of all of this lack of bipartisanship? Whose mentality is it to defeat your opponents? That's mine! That's what I have been suggesting. I'm the hyperpartisan here, I guess. My strategery has been, wipe 'em out! And that's what the election meant, wipe 'em out. They were wiped out. I didn't see civility on the ballot. Awe, jeez. Okay. That's it. Look, see where this is headed? (interruption) Well, no, I'll hold out hope this is just a bunch of BS Republican assumption that the real stuff's gonna go on. We gotta deal with what is. What does my gut say? Well, my gut could only react to what I heard here and words are just words. What part of "hell, no" did the Republicans not understand? It's just two words, h-e-l-l, space, n-o. What is hard to understand about that? ....I'm just trying to remember what the Tea Party people thought they were getting with this win and what they said prior to it that they wanted. And I just don't remember this. Now, I coulda been playing golf that day. I don't remember the Tea Party saying, "Damn it, you guys compromise and work together. We want to see you all get along, for us." I've apparently been laboring here on a total misunderstanding. I thought that the Tea Party wanted Obama stopped.

Atlanta Airport TSA Protest!
Laura Ingraham - The Republicans To Give Michelle Obama A Big Wet Kiss!
Laura talks about S510 (food bill) and how the Republicans will give Michelle Obama a “big wet kiss” if they pass it. “Too many Republicans are buying into this food bill as well. Congress is poised to give Obama a big wet kiss on the food bill.” Does Michelle want to be the Child Food Czar? “Whatever sleeveless wants sleeveless gets.” (At 7:00 into this clip)
What is senate bill S510? It’s yet another power grab from Washington as it will become illegal to grow, share, trade or sell homegrown food.
According to Foodforfreedom.com:
S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US.
1. It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, in the event of contamination or an ill-defined emergency.
2. It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on compliance with the WTO, thus threatening national security.
3. It would remove the right to clean, store and thus own seed in the US, putting control of seeds in the hands of Monsanto and other multinationals, threatening US security.
4. It deconstructs what is left of the American economy. It takes agriculture and food, which are the cornerstone of all economies, out of the hands of the citizenry, and puts them under the total control of multinational corporations.
