Rush then took a call from a gentleman who agreed that Cheney is motivated by love of country when he says Obama is endangering America. Rush repeated his assertion that Cheney is the only Republican with the guts to warn the country about the dangers of Obama, and claimed that the modus operandi of the Democrats is to destroy anyone who speaks out. They don't like the "opposition," said Rush, so they try to "discredit" and "impugn" you.
Another break and Rush came back attacking Obama for saying today that Americans are "skimping" on health care. Rush noted that the AP reported that "leaders of the health care industry offered $2 trillion in spending reductions over 10 years to help pay for" Obama's health care program. After again noting it's "like Don Corleone bringing these people in and telling what's going to happen to them if the don't go along," Rush wondered why, if there was $2 trillion in cuts that could be made, the health care industry is making them now. The reason, Rush said, is offered later in the same article: "The industry groups are trying to get on the administration bandwagon for expanded coverage now in the hope they can steer Congress away from legislation that would restrict their profitability in future years." What this means, Rush said, is that they think that if they go along now and show goodwill, then they'll be taken care of by Obama down the road.
They're fools, said Rush. Whatever profits there are will go to Obama and government, he said. Obama's going to fix health care like he fixed GM, Chrysler, and Wall Street. The health care representatives are scared to death, he said. They saw what happened to Rick Wagoner, and they saw the legislation on pay caps for executives, and now they're thinking that if they don't make Obama mad, then he won't restrict them. But, Rush reiterated, they're fools for thinking this.
