This is just, it's unbelievable, except it's believable.
Anyway, greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, here, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
The Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.

The email address, lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
54% of the General Motors bondholders approved of this.
That means that 46% did not.
It's pretty close to the election returns.
This is a huge number of people and institutions and investors that did not approve of this, to whom it has been rammed down their throats.
This forced bankruptcy by the government.
And think of all the bailout money that was spent prior to this when everybody said at the get-go.
Just let them file Chapter 11.
Oh, no, can't do that.
The warranties won't be honored.
Who'd buy a car?
Well, they're going to close 12 plants.
They're going to close a bunch of factories, dealerships.
But Obama's going to honor the warranties.
Which everybody said, who's going to buy a car because this is the warranty?
Where would they go bankrupt?
Everything that could have been done months ago being done today, except with the government in charge of it, not General Motors.
Where are the news stories and all the little old ladies who got their clocks cleaned from this deal?
All the people whose pension and retirements are invested, who got their clocks cleaned in this?
Of course, the state-run media, not interested in any of that.
The state-run media has no interest in any negative aspect of anything having to do with Obama.
And I want, if you remember nothing else, I want you to remember Obama saying this at the White House just prior to this.
Well, actually, just prior to the show starting.
It was a little bit after 12 noon Eastern Time.
I will not pretend the hard times are over.
Difficult days lie ahead.
More jobs will be lost.
More plants will close.
More dealerships will shut their doors and so will many parts suppliers.
But I want you to know that what you're doing is making a sacrifice for the next generation.
A sacrifice you may not have chose to make, but a sacrifice you were nevertheless called to make so that your children and all of our children can grow up in an America that still makes things, that still builds cars, that still strives for a better future.
He's not just talking to automobile people here.
He wants you to think that.
He wants you to think he's just talking to people in the automotive industry, but he's talking to every one of us.
I will not pretend the hard times are over.
Difficult days lie ahead.
More jobs will be lost.
More plants will close.
More dealerships will shut their doors.
And so will many parts suppliers.
But I want you to know that what you're doing is making a sacrifice for the next generation.
Your future is zilch.
Your future is not worth talking about because you don't really have one.
And what you're doing by biting the bullet here and living in the poorhouse is making sure your children and grandchildren have a wonderful future.
You want to try to tell me how that figures out?
How does that result take place?
So Obama used taxpayer money to buy General Motors and essentially give it to the United Autoworkers.
See, this is the dirty little secret.
Obama is returning the nation's wealth to its rightful owners.
We've got an economy in collapse, and he's implementing his campaign agenda regardless.
UAW is a political contributor, and this is socialism.
Barack Obama now owns the means of production and cronyism as well.
And the real interesting aspect of this is that part of this deal bans General Motors from importing small foreign cars to sell that they make overseas.
You know what this is?
See, now you've got to ask yourself, Obama wants us all in these new little tinfoil cars.
New green jobs to produce them.
Save the economy, save the country, save the planet, stop our carbon emissions.
He wants us all in these worthless little podunk cars, right?
Well, these companies already make them.
They make them overseas where people over there don't mind driving around in a bag of manure.
But we can't import those cars.
GM can sell them, but we can't import them.
You know why?
You know why?
Because we have to protect manufacturing jobs as best we can.
So this is protectionism in addition to everything else.
And I don't care who you are.
Protectionism has never built and grown an economy.
It never has.
So we have, in one little 10-minute announcement today, we have protectionism, socialism, and cronyism.
The trifecta for Barack Obama.
Political payoffs, protectionism makes sense to socialists.
It's what they do.
The White House kneecapped secured creditors on behalf of the UAW.
A Chapter 11 bankruptcy filed months ago would have produced a General Motor that looks far, far different from the one you'll see today.
Taxpayer money was used to occupy the private sector and pay off a political contributor.
The reason that Obama went through with the automobile bailout is because it put UAW in an ownership position and on the board.
The administration's Wall Street Journal here.
The administration's concessions to the UAW also restrict the company's ability to import smaller, more fuel-efficient cars it already makes overseas.
UAW President Ron Gettelfinger boasted on PBS NewsHour last week, we quite frankly, we put pressure on the White House, the auto-task force, the corporation, to bar small car imports from overseas.
General Motors is selling its Opel operation in Europe as part of this restructuring.
The Washington Post reports that one of the Treasury sale conditions is that Opel's new owners stay out of the U.S. and even out of China, where GM's business is strong.
This is pure protectionism to protect people that voted for Obama and shaft everybody else.
And it's not going to work.
Speaking of China, as you all know, and let me find it here, by the way.
Last week, when Pelosi went over to China, to Shanghai and then to Beijing, and she made this public appearance about the economy and exhorting the ChiComs to get involved here and whatever foolish economic plans we have.
Remember, she got laughed at by the student audience.
And I said, that's not why she's there.
This is just the public face of us.
That's just to buy off the idiots in this country who really think we are destroying the planet with our freedom and capitalism.
What she really went over there to do was to beg the Chinese not to turn us loose, not to call in their debt.
She was followed by Timothy Geithner.
Reuters, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner today reassured the ChiComs that its huge holdings of dollar assets are safe, and he reaffirmed his faith in a strong U.S. currency.
A major goal of Geithner's maiden visit to China as Treasury Secretary is to allay concerns that Washington's bulging budget deficit and ultra-loose monetary policy will fan inflation.
Chinese assets are very safe, Geithner said in response to a question after a speech at Peking University, where he studied Chinese as a student, by the way, in the 1980s.
So in a sense, it'll Timmy here returning home to the ChiComs.
His answer also drew loud laughter from his student audience.
When he said Chinese assets are very safe, the students who can spot a lying capitalist when they see one, sorry, who can spot a lying socialist when they see one because they deal with them every day, laughed in his face.
The laughter, it says here in Reuters, reflected skepticism in China about the wisdom of a developing country accumulating a vast stockpile of foreign reserves instead of spending the money to raise living standards at home.
Chinese students have more on the ball than Obama and his cronies.
So Pelosi's gone over there, the little Timmy is over there telling the Chikoms that their dollar assets are safe.
Bloomberg has a fascinating story.
It might be the line of a year, of the year, and it is from a CHICOM.
Now, the U.S. state-run media can take a lesson here.
Listen to this little excerpt from the Bloomberg story.
Geithner, 47, needs to show how the U.S. can present...
Sorry.
Start again.
Geithner 47 needs to show how the U.S. can prevent the value of China's investment from becoming eroded by a weaker dollar or by the inflation that might be stoked by the stimulus money being pumped into the U.S. economy, according to you.
Why you?
It's a ChiCom financial expert.
The ChiCom financial expert, Mr. Wu, Mr. Yu said, quote, it will be helpful if Geithner can show us some arithmetic.
That's the line of the year.
When I first saw this, I laughed out loud.
See, this is the difference between faith in a phony, i.e. a Marxist in Messiah clothing, and reality, and that is arithmetic.
Okay, the ChiComs, they understand Marxism, so they can't be fooled by a pretend Marxist like little Timmy.
So little Timmy comes over, oh, your assets are safe.
Really show us the math on this.
We see where you're spending $12 trillion that you don't have.
We're seeing that you're going to have to print that, or that you're going to have to raise taxes on that.
And either way you go, your population is going to have less disposable income, which means your population is going to have less buying power of the cheap stuff our country makes.
This is what the ChiComs are concerned about.
In addition to their debt being worthless, we're a huge export market for them.
If by printing all this money, the ChiCom guy says, show us the math, Timmy.
You know, don't try to bamboozle us here with ideology.
We have that down pat.
So you want to tell us how $12 trillion that you don't have, but you're printing, or you're going to combine printing it with raising taxes on people, you're going to take money out of their pockets.
Timmy, tell me how your people are going to be able to purchase our goods.
Oh, your assets are safe.
Timmy says everything's fine.
Let me tell you where this is going to end up.
Yes, Snerdly, I'm on a roll today because I've about had it.
You know, it's finding Danny to suffer ignorance and fools for a while, but everybody reaches their breaking point.
And the American people are rolling or applauding this little lackey when he goes driving by to go to the play.
We're in the middle of a recession and this guy flaunts it.
He takes three airplanes and two helicopters to New York for a date with his wife, and the people who get shoved off the FDR, the West Side Highway, whatever it was, applaud him.
The theater started, the play started an hour late because Obama got there an hour late.
So coming after, he didn't care.
They applaud him when he walks.
He inconveniences his own voters and they applaud him.
I don't care.
In the middle of a recession, when you're telling everybody that they got to sacrifice their future for their kids and grandkids and you fly in with three airplanes and a helicopter to go to dinner at a play, it's a slap in the face.
People just sit around and go, yeah, yeah, man, it's Obama cool.
Well, let me tell you what Obama cool is going to get us.
And this is what the Chi-Cam financial guy was saying to Little Timmy.
Little Timmy, do the math for me here, will you?
Will you show me how $12 trillion that you don't have that you're going to print or taxes that you're going to raise is going to help your people buy my country's products?
The Chinese look for this as a distinct possibility.
The Chinese are going to say, you know what?
We're not going to buy your debt anymore.
It's worthless.
And you know what?
We're going to stop exporting to you too.
We're going to change our economy circumstances, economic circumstances.
We're going to start manufacturing products in this country for sale in this country, not for export to you.
Because our economy is rising and our people have an increasing standard of living, despite still having a two-tiered communist system with a quasi-capitalist economy.
You try that double whammy with the ChiComs refusing to buy our debt and then saying, screw you on exports too.
I mean, you don't like the lead and our toys?
Fine.
We're not going to give you any toys, period.
Then we're going to go buy them.
Your company is not manufacturing anymore.
Where are you going to buy your toys?
Where are you going to buy your paint?
Where are you going to buy your iPhones?
Do you realize they're made in China?
Where are you going to buy this stuff if we don't export it to you?
Chinese can then say, go to hell with building your economy up.
We're going to start building ours up.
That's why little Timmy and Pelosi and probably a parade of others.
That's why this guy from Utah, Huntsman, was named the ambassador over there because he speaks the lingo.
Because it's beg time.
It's get down on our knees and beg to the ChiComs to keep buying our debt, even though they know and we know the math.
The arithmetic doesn't add up.
Here's that answer from Fritz Henderson, the acting CEO at General Motors.
Obama is the CEO.
This is in New York City at a news conference.
Unidentified reporter asks Fritz Henderson, President Obama's been very firm really about talking about more fuel-efficient vehicles.
Will there be pressure on you to come out with a new greener vehicle for the United States sooner?
We're planning our business, assuming that economies as they improve, we will see higher oil prices than we have today.
I think it's a fair assumption.
You have to make assumptions about your business, but I think our view is that oil prices will trend higher.
We learned one thing in 2008 is economic growth can drive sharp increases in oil prices.
The consumer themselves have actually changed.
For example, the mid-sized car segment here, fuel economy, consumers are behaving as if fuel prices are higher than they actually are today.
So I do think fuel economy will remain a key driver of the purchase decision for consumers.
So I think it's very important.
I think the market will drive it, first of all.
So I think our objectives, both as a firm as well as to the market, are in alignment with what not only President Obama, but I think most governments around the world would view the importance of having more fuel-efficient vehicles.
I don't think it's unique simply to the United States.
I don't know about you, but I don't think you answered the question.
He was asked if because of what Obama's doing, they're going to have to make them sooner.
And he gave market-related answers.
And the market doesn't matter anymore.
That's the problem here.
The market is not dictating the future of General Motors, despite how Fritz Henderson spoke here.
Barack Obama is.
But he didn't want to say anything negative about Obama.
The question was a softball.
You're going to have to start making these little putt-butt cars sooner than you thought you would because Obama's man.
Yes, is the answer.
You know what he also said in there?
You know what he also said, what he said in there in that answer, the primary reason they are in trouble today is gasoline hitting four bucks.
Everybody has forgotten that.
But when the price of oil went to $120, $130 a barrel, and that's it, gasoline up to four bucks, that was the tipping point.
And that's when the bottom fell out.
Not that they were healthy and rosy and everything else prior.
And now he says people are still buying or not buying cars on the basis that gasoline is going to again be four bucks.
And a growing economy.
He also said this.
We know that a growing economy rises or raises oil prices.
Well, now wait a second.
It was just last year, wasn't it, a year ago, that the oil price was trending upward to eventually maybe $150 a barrel on one day, but averaging around $120 to $130.
And during that time, we kept hearing what about the economy?
That it was tanking.
We kept hearing the economy was tanking a year ago.
We've, in fact, the U.S. state-run media has been saying the economy has been tanking for six years.
So was it a rising economy that brought about $4 a gallon gasoline?
If it was a rising economy, then people would have been able to afford it a little easier than they were able to.
So Fritz Henderson says here, well, you know, people are still behaving as though gasoline is four bucks.
They're smart.
Happened once, it can happen again.
And the people don't figure out, most people can't understand an economic reason for it happening.
You start talking speculators and this sort of stuff, and they think manipulation.
They don't think market, they think manipulation.
So the consumer thinks if you can manipulate it to get it to four bucks, you can manipulate it again to get it to five.
And look out, folks, because as desperate as Obama is to get you in pieces of junk that you would never otherwise buy, if you don't make the decision on your own to do it, steps will be taken where you have no choice.
Like higher gasoline prices.
Shazam, Shazam, the numbers just keep getting bigger.
Now it's 14 plants that are going to close by 2011, 14 General Motors plants and three parts centers.
So the bottom line here is the closures will reduce GM's U.S. facilities to 33 from 47 by 2011, and between 18,000 and 20,000 workers will be affected.
Not only are these jobs lost, these are not jobs saved.
Mr. President.
And I don't want you to forget this, because Obama lied through his teeth today, saying on numerous points at numerous times during his press conference that he announcement, there was no press conference, that he had no interest in running General Motors, that the government wasn't going to run it.
They didn't get into car business, none of that, none, yada, yada, yada, yada.
But he said this.
What we are not doing, what I have no interest in doing, is running GM.
GM will be run by a private board of directors and management team with a track record in American manufacturing.
It reflects a commitment to innovation and quality.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They, and not the government, will call the shots and make the decisions about how to turn this company around.
You heard that.
The federal government will refrain from exercising its rights as a shareholder in all but the most fundamental corporate decisions.
Well, when a difficult decision has to be made on matters like where to open a new plant or what type of new car to make, the new GM, not the United States government, will make that decision.
He also said the government will refrain from exercising its rights as a shareholder in all but the most fundamental.
The most fundamental is all in all but the most fundamental.
He wants you to think we're barely going to be involved.
What it really means is when it matters most, the federal government's going to be involved in running General Motors in all but the most fundamental decisions.
The most fundamental decisions are the most important.
Fundamentals are the most important of anything.
So what he's saying is the exact opposite of the way it sounds.
What he's saying is we're not going to get involved in minutiae.
I don't want to get involved in daily progress reports, but the fundamental decision, like what kind of cars we're going to make and where we're going to open dealerships.
For example, I'm not going to let somebody who didn't donate to me own a dealership.
I'm not going to let some Republican own a GM dealership who didn't contribute to my campaign.
That's what this means.
Okay.
People have been waiting patiently on the phones.
We'll go now to Mansfield, Ohio, and Mike will start with you today.
Great to have you, sir.
Hello.
Hey, it's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you, sir.
Trying to lose a signal here.
I'll get out where I can get a better signal.
I feel like I'm talking to the president.
A lot of people wish you were.
You know, we got an announcement this morning that our Ontario stamping plant was closing.
That Ontario stamping plant employs hundreds of people.
Now, wait a second.
A lot of people, Ontario, Ohio Stamping Plant.
What happens at a stamping plant?
It was just made, the announcement was made on the radio this morning that the plant was closing.
They didn't give the exact date, but they notified employees this morning.
Not only does that affect that stamping plant, but it affects our steel mill here, and it affects three other major manufacturers that provide for that stamping plant.
What happens in a stamping plant?
What do you do there?
My understanding is they make like door panels, oh, hoods, any of the stamping stamps.
I figured it wasn't the plant that's going to stamp the Obama logo on the car.
No, and I mean, the hundreds of employees, the city of Ontario gets 40% of their income tax from that plant.
We have already lost, and I can't give you an exact figure number on police officers.
We don't have enough police officers to maintain even our county.
But I'll bet you have a bunch of bureaucrats that still have jobs that you can fire and rehire the cops with that money.
Oh, most definitely.
As a matter of fact, they just had an article not too long ago in the paper about city officials and how much money they were making.
And, I mean, if you take a 3%, oh, we took a 3% pay cut.
Yeah, boy.
Well, you're making $150,000 a year.
A 3% isn't going to hurt you.
That's not the point.
No, it hurts.
I don't care how much you're making.
When you lose anything, it hurts because everybody lives to their income level.
It hurts.
But that shouldn't be why you should be satisfied with the decision because somebody's going to hurt.
I'm not saying you, but this is the way they buy off communities.
Oh, look, these big bureaucrats are going to take a hit too.
3%.
Oh, they're going to get hurt.
Good.
End of story.
No.
When you have a community, state, city, local, federal community telling you that they got to cut cops and they got to cut firemen because of this horrible economy or lack of tax increase, revenue, whatever, tell them to cut the overweight bureaucracy with a bunch of people sitting at desks not doing anything and rehire the cops.
A question from Mr. Snerdley, the program observer.
Okay, the question from Mr. Snerdley, how will some of these communities, as it's just been described here in Ontario, Ohio, how will, if 40% of their tax revenue comes from the stamping plant and the stamping plant gets closed, then 40% of the operating revenue for the town vanishes.
How are they going to survive?
With laying off cops, what's going to happen to the crime rate?
The cynical voice in me says fits the Obama mold right out of the box.
Because the more chaos you have in the more places, the more demand for action you will have.
And the one entity in our entire nation that can never go bankrupt is the federal government because it can print money.
And so, if you have to bail out Ontario, if you have to bail out California, even though they say they're not going to, you let this stuff get bad enough.
And if people still think that Obama is the Messiah and can fix this stuff, rather than blaming him for causing it or being a party to it, you see, I don't think people understand that this kind of pain and suffering fits somebody's master plan.
And it's hard to convince people of that.
I mean, what president would want citizens to suffer?
Okay, you ask that question.
What president would want citizens to suffer?
And I have to ask you, it's been five months now, and we have employed every fix Obama told us.
And it's only gotten worse.
And today, grab, what does it sound like, 32?
34?
What I've had, these stupid things in front of me.
31 or 32.
Grab number 31.
No, it's 32.
For those of you asking yourself, why in the world would the sitting president want people to suffer?
I mean, here's what your president said today.
I will not pretend the hard times are over.
Difficult days lie ahead.
More jobs will be lost.
More plants will close.
More dealerships will shut their doors, and so will many parts suppliers.
But I want you to know that what you're doing is making a sacrifice for the next generation.
A sacrifice you may not have chose to make, but a sacrifice you were nevertheless called to make so that your children and all of our children can grow up in an America that still makes things, that still builds cars, that still strives for a better future.
Who is calling us to make this sacrifice?
Nobody's calling us to make a sacrifice.
It's being forced on us.
It's being forced on us.
By the way, Mike, Mansfield, Ohio, talking what's going on in Ontario and all the rest of you that work in a Chrysler-related business or a GM-related business.
I, like you, thought the rich were going to be paying for everything.
I thought the rich were going to get their taxes increased so that you wouldn't suffer.
Now, remember, it is I, El Rushbo, been warning you for longest time that when liberals come talking about raising taxes on the rich, make them pay their fair share, and you go along and clap your hands, yeah, baby, yeah, baby, yeah, baby, that it's the little guy who gets hurt.
Little guys getting hurt.
And this is the real shame.
If you can identify just one, the rich, the achieved, I mean, they've got theirs, and they're going to lose a lot of it.
A lot of it's going to be taxed away from them.
But at least they got there.
The real crying shame here is what all this is going to cost.
Middle-class people that voted for Obama thinking their problems are over.
This is going to put the brakes on their realization of the American dream.
This brings the pursuit of the American dream to a screeching halt.
And your president just said, you got to defer your American dream for the rest of your life.
What you're doing now is sacrificing so that your kids and their kids might have a chance to pursue their American dream.
But how are we going to define the American dream by the time we get to the next two or three generations?
Without a middle class that is striving to elevate itself, without a middle class inspired and motivated to seek to improve, there goes the country.
I don't care what the rich do.
I don't care what they own.
I don't care what they invest in.
I don't care what their businesses are.
You convince the middle class that it's not worth trying anymore.
And you have killed the American dream.
With a rare exception, every achieved, wealthy family in this country started out middle class or worse.
The exceptions are people who inherited.
And that's not a whole lot of people.
I mean, even the robber barons, quote unquote, of the old days, were born with nothing.
It's always been the dream of the middle class to be able to raise their standard of living, the belief that it can happen, the belief that it's out there, that has kept them striving for it.
And Obama just told them today, at least those in the auto business, stop striving.
Your purpose is to eat excrement sandwiches for the rest of your life.
It's not there for you.
All that's ahead for you is worse.
I don't know how this plays in a positive way.
I do not know how it plays.
I don't know how you get away being the most beloved figure in the country by telling people they have no future.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
An interesting side note today from the Wall Street Journal, Ford Motor Company is preparing an effort to gain market share.
Ford, the only one of Detroit's big three that did not need a bailout from the federal government, plans to increase production of cars and trucks in the third quarter by about 10% from the level of a year ago, according to a company official.
Chief Executive Alan Malally of Ford, which plans for the third quarter its first significant production increase in almost two years.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to separate us from our other domestic competitors, said a person familiar with the matter at Ford.
No one's going to gift wrap it for us.
You have to deliver the product people want to buy.
But that said, you have to take this historic opportunity to grab market share.
What Ford can do, start making cars you want, while GM has to make Obama mobiles and Chrysler have to make Obama mobiles, Ford can get a head start because these new cafe standards are going to make them sell Obama mobiles, don't kick in for another seven years.
And Ford knows it.
So here you go.
Private sector company that did not take a dime of bailout money is increasing production.
The two that did are bankrupt.
Obama cares.
Here's Andre at Houston.
Andre, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, Rush.
Yes, sir.
Good to talk to you.
Love the show.
Thank you very much, sir.
My question is, this guy says that he don't want to run the company, but at the same time, he's laying out a plan to fix the company.
You already answered the question for me.
But this thinking that this thing is going to work that he's got planned, do you see any way in the future that this will work?
You got to define working.
You know, we're to that point in time now.
So you tell me, you're asking me, is there any way I can foresee in the future what Obama's doing today will make General Motors a success?
Is that what you're asking?
Exactly.
Okay, define General Motors succeeding for me before I answer that.
What you mean by that?
The way it was before, when they were producing cars, the car they produce now, that people want it.
And the thing that he's going to produce now, yes, that people want.
No.
Because the kind of cars to produce have now been taken out of the hands of the experts who know that or supposedly know that.
Obama, you just, I mean, I don't want to play Obama soundbites all day, but he said here, this is going to speed up the production of these green vehicles, which means these little tinfoil cars.
People are going to have to be forced into those.
They don't buy them of their own volition.
We're seeing this with hybrids.
We're seeing it with all these puddle jumpers that people have out there.
They buy them.
The people that buy them are making a statement.
It's like wearing a ribbon to say you have consciousness about AIDS or breast cancer or whatever.
They buy these cars to make a statement.
Most of them are not buying them for practical reasons.
And the sales of hybrids in these centers are way, way down.
So people are going to have to be forced into these cars.
Now, if you define, will GM succeed from Obama's standpoint?
Obama doesn't care a whit whether it makes profit.
Obama doesn't care a whit who loses a job.
What Obama cares about is tearing a country down to size.
And if he wants people in these little putt-putt mobiles, and this is the only way to do it, then whatever happened today and happens in the future, General Motors is going to be a rousing success.
Exactly.
Can I say one thing right now?
Yeah.
I want to be your official Obama criticizer.
You want to be the official Obama.
This guy has got to be the biggest disaster I ever seen.
I'm an automotive technician.
I'm a Chrysler certified technician.
I'm also Ford certified in GM.
He's killing the economy for me and the people that I know.
And I don't see nothing that he's doing that's going to fix it.
But wait a minute.
It's guys like you.
Which guys like you that he was going to champion.
He's killing us.
And I don't see the people who are praising this guy have got to be blind.
He hasn't done nothing.
He ain't created one job that's sustainable besides in the government.
The private sector is dying.
But still, he's spending all these trillions of dollars.
Okay.
Let me ask you a question.
