RUSH: Yet another meeting at the White House today, this with health care service providers, professionals, health care industry people coming in, and they’re prepared to make $2 trillion in concessions over the next ten years to help Obama go into the nationalized health business. You know what these meetings are like? These seminars, these meetings are with industry service groups, whatever, they’re like the Don, like Don Corleone calling all these people together, these groups and telling them what they have to do to remain in his good graces or be punished. I’m sure they get intimidated in some of these meetings. I mean, these people showing up for the health care meeting today are the six groups that ran ads opposed to Hillary Care back in the early nineties. I have never seen more people, talked to more people more afraid of their government in my lifetime than is happening now. It’s all very strange, because I remember President Obama saying this during his inaugural address back on January 20th.
OBAMA: On this day we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics. In the words of Scripture, ‘The time has come to set aside childish things.’
RUSH: That’s President Obama on January 20th. You be the judge as to whether or not any of that has happened.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
OBAMA: On this day we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics. In the words of Scripture, ‘The time has come to set aside childish things.’
RUSH: President Barack Obama foretelling the mood that he will bring to America in his inaugural address in January of this year. H.L. Mencken, great quote: ‘The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars. The men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.’ H.L. Mencken. And there’s another good quote, from George Bernard Shaw: ‘The powers of astute observation are often mistaken as cynicism by those who do not possess powers of astute observation.’
