RUSH: Here\u2019s Kevin, Columbus, Ohio. Great that you held on. I appreciate your patience, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, it\u2019s been kind of tough listening to you all — whatever you want to call it. But my whole point was about the dishonesty of your party and conspiracy that\u2019s got… my main thrust was about Governor Kasich, given that impassioned speech that he gave about jobs coming back, like he was trying to take credit for that, when, in fact, during the time of the crash, he was part of Lehman Brothers, and then Obama asked — well, let me — I don\u2019t want to be like you guys. President Obama saved the auto industry, which saved those jobs, but does he get any credit? No. You guys have been conspiring against this man since he got inaugurated. Your people need to know that. If they do, they just don\u2019t accept it, and all they\u2019re doing is they\u2019re racists<\/a>, but they\u2019re using these as excuses to be against Obama.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Let me —<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: Plain and simple. That\u2019s all it is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, let me — no, no, no. Let me explain to people what you just said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, explain it —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — in your unique way.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You assume that some people knew what you were talking about to begin with. I just want to set it up. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, they know, if they\u2019re paying attention, the auto industry was about to go under. Now, I could just see the headlines —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, would you stop being —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — the great American icon — (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Would you stop being contentious with me? You\u2019ve got no reason to be contentious. I haven\u2019t done anything to you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, you haven\u2019t done anything to me. Right, not personally, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right, except you waited for an hour-and-a-half, or two. So what? Everybody else does, too.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, well, you —<\/p>\n

RUSH: All I want to try to do is put in context what you said because you said it so poorly. I\u2019m trying to help you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You don\u2019t need to help me, sir, I already know what\u2019s going on, and I —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, no, you\u2019re a Democrat, you can\u2019t do anything on your own except complain. I am trying to help you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, let me see how you can help me. Let me see.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here we go.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Go ahead, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Last night, John Kasich gave a speech. John Kasich\u2019s the governor of Ohio.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: In the course of the speech, John Kasich reveled the audience at the convention<\/a> with all of the great improvements, economic improvements since he became governor that have taken place in Ohio, such as deficits being reduced, debt being paid down, and employment going way up without any tax increases. And what Kevin here is saying is that Kasich doesn\u2019t deserve any credit \u2019cause he once worked at Lehman Brothers; it\u2019s Obama that deserves the credit for this, and we should know it —<\/p>\n

CALLER: That is not what I said, sir. All I was saying is he never mentioned once that the president saved the auto industry. Big car factory, you might have heard of it —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the auto industry isn\u2019t saved.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It was a Honda plant. What do you think — (crosstalk)<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: The auto industry isn\u2019t saved. The auto industry is in debt. The only thing that was saved is the United Auto Workers and their pensions. The auto business wasn\u2019t saved. That\u2019s a big joke. They haven\u2019t come close to paying back the loans. They\u2019re still in debt. I have a story in the Stack, they just shut down production of the Chevy Volt. You know why? Because nobody other than Obama\u2019s buying any. They just shut down production. You think I like criticizing General Motors? General Motors is an American icon. This guy\u2019s come along and tainted it. I don\u2019t like saying this stuff. But you did say why isn\u2019t Obama getting any credit, Kasich up there taking credit. <\/p>\n

Let me tell you something. If Obama had anything to do with economic improvement in Ohio, then why hasn\u2019t he done it anywhere else? You guys, you can live out there in your dream world if you want to, and you can think he saved the auto business and so forth. I don\u2019t know how in the world you call it being saved when he buys it using taxpayer dollars and gives it to the United Auto Workers and then eliminates it from the market forces of competition. Under that definition there\u2019s no way it can fail \u2019cause it doesn\u2019t have to show a profit \u2019cause it\u2019s a government-owned business and therefore it can stay in business forever. Chrysler is now owned by Fiat. GM was given to the UAW. GM went bankrupt. How were they saved? General Motors has announced that they don\u2019t want to be used by Obama or anybody during the campaign. Some of the people there are not happy that the regime owns \u2019em. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
