RUSH: I really do, ladies and gentlemen, hate watching people get sucked into discussions about radical liberals throwing away our money and running our companies. ‘How much is okay? Well, maybe they do know best.\u2019 The whole premise here is wrong. The premise is upside down. It\u2019s 180 degrees out of place. It appears here that the country\u2019s basically signed a power-of-attorney agreement with the public servants in Washington, sort of like the servants moving into the main house and the owners moving into the servants quarters and thanking them. It\u2019s about what\u2019s going on here. I mean, for Barack Obama or any politician to be discussing what a private sector company should or must do to survive, much less operate, my friends, this is outside the scope of how and why this country was founded. This isn\u2019t their place. It isn\u2019t their job. They are elected. This country was founded on the rejection of government interference. These automakers, yeah, they\u2019re not doing the country any favors, I mean frankly it\u2019s their duty to do what\u2019s best for their company and their shareholders and to tell Congress and Obama to shove it up where the sun doesn\u2019t shine. <\/p>\n

It sets the wrong precedent here for any CEO to run to Washington and to grovel and to agree to let public servants run their companies. It\u2019s the exact opposite of how they should be reacting. It\u2019s the worst PR move they could possibly make. If they went into bankruptcy kicking and screaming about government interference, people would buy their cars out of pride, if nothing else. Who wouldn\u2019t want to buy cars or invest in companies with guts who stood up for their freedom to succeed or fail on their own decisions? Who wouldn\u2019t invest in a company that publicly picked a fight with these jokes. They\u2019re nothing but politicians. They don\u2019t have expertise in anything. Pick a fight with government watch people get in line to buy American. This is a missed opportunity to reinforce what is great about this country and what cars represent. This is an assault on freedom, it\u2019s happening right before us, right under our noses, right before our very eyes. It\u2019s an assault on freedom. It\u2019s just amazing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
