RUSH: I\u2019ve got one, two, three, four. I\u2019ve got five sound bites from President Obama\u2019s mortgage speech, the housing bailout plan. At the top of the hour I was watching MSNBC, and they said that there are four million families that are going to be helped here by having their mortgages made ‘more affordable.\u2019 Now, that was just a graphic on the screen. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s in Group One or Group Two. Remember, now, there are two groups of people here being targeted by this $75 billion bailout, and we\u2019ve run the numbers on this, and to take care of everybody that\u2019s in a mess here would cost $2.7 trillion minimum, and the package is $75 billion. So even though there\u2019s some help on the way, how much can it possibly be? Anyway, the two groups are people that never, ever had a chance to pay back their loan.<\/p>\n

They never had a prayer of paying back the loan, which means they were given loans by people who knew they were never going to be paid back, which means that they were not ‘predatory lenders.\u2019 They were told to make these loans. And don\u2019t forget the recent story from Richard Davis, the CEO of US Bancorp in Minnesota. He made a speech recently to a group, and he said, ‘Look, the TARP money was never about credit. It was about making sure that big banks had enough money to go buy little banks and save \u2019em,\u2019 and then when that happened, and there was no credit that was extended, remember Barney Frank and the guys on Capitol Hill going absolutely nutso bongo and calling these guys up here and talking about accountability and, ‘How dare we give you this money and you don\u2019t make it available to consumers for loans and so forth!\u2019<\/p>\n

These guys are sitting there. I guess they\u2019re sworn to secrecy. Richard Davis of US Bancorp has come out and let the cat out of the bag, essentially. So anyway, MSNBC said four million homeowners. Here\u2019s what I think you ought to do. And, by the way, there\u2019s another group of people that has not been mentioned here, and that is people who have already been foreclosed on and thus lost their homes. What did they do? What do they do? Are they just forgotten about here? You people that have been foreclosed on, there\u2019s a plan now that\u2019s going to help others like you who haven\u2019t yet been foreclosed on to stay in their homes, even though they can\u2019t pay the mortgage. Obama to the rescue! Well, what about you? And what about those of you in Group Two? Those of you in Group Two, as categorized by the administration, you\u2019re called ‘underwater.\u2019 <\/p>\n

You can make your mortgage payment, but your house is not worth what your payments are adding up to because of the plummeting value brought on by the bubble, the housing bubble bursting, and brought on by the economic decline in the first place. So, you can make your payments, but your house is worth less. They say they\u2019re going to do something for you, but we\u2019re not sure exactly what. Well, here\u2019s what I think you ought to do. Obama has just said that we\u2019re going to help people like you. You played by the rules and you\u2019ve been responsible, but the value of your home has plummeted. You ought to call whoever your mortgage holder is, and you ought to tell \u2019em you want a lower mortgage rate. You want a lower monthly payment. You just heard the president\u2019s speech, and you want a lower payment. He said he can help you out. Let\u2019s listen to what he said. Every problem is a crisis unlike we\u2019ve ever known, and so is the housing crisis.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I\u2019m here today to talk about a crisis, uh, unlike we\u2019ve ever known, the one that you know very well here at Mesa and throughout the valley. In Phoenix and its surrounding suburbs, the American dream is being tested by a home mortgage crisis that not only threatens the stability of our economy, but also the stability of families and neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here he is on the aforementioned Group One.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: The plan I\u2019m announcing focuses on rescuing families who played by the rules and acted responsibly, by refinancing loans for millions of families in traditional mortgages who are underwater or close to it, by modifying loans for families stuck in subprime mortgages they can\u2019t afford as a result of skyrocketing interest rates or personal misfortune, and by taking broader steps to keep mortgage rates low so that families can secure loans with affordable monthly payments.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so he talked about three groups in that bite. Group Two he mentioned first. Group Two: ‘The plan I\u2019m announcing focuses on rescuing families who have played by the rules and acted responsibly, by refinancing loans for millions of families in traditional mortgages who are underwater or close to it…\u2019 That\u2019s Group Two. You\u2019re underwater. You can still make the payment but your house isn\u2019t worth anything. He is going to rescue you by reducing — or allowing you to refinance — your loan. Don\u2019t wait! Call the bank today. Call your lender now. The president has spoken! If your lender is Citibank, you call them up and say, ‘Call the sheiks in Dubai and get some more money, or whatever it\u2019s going to take, because the president just spoke.\u2019 The federal government is going to redo your monthly payment and make it more affordable because you have been disadvantaged in the market.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re underwater. Your house is not worth what your payments are going to add up to, and you want a lower monthly payment. Call your lender! The federal government\u2019s now made it possible. Call Chris Dodd. Call his office. He was able to do this with Countrywide. He got a VIP rate from Angelo Mozilo. Call Chris Dodd. He can tell you how to do this. Call Tony Rezko. Tony Rezko got this done for Obama. This is the Rezko Rescue. This mortgage bailout is the Rezko Rescue. You should call Chris Dodd, you call Tony Rezko, or call your bank. Call your lender. Call whoever has your mortgage, and you know what you should do? You tell \u2019em you want the original mortgage, not the repackaging mortgage that was sold along with all the other mortgages. <\/p>\n

You want the original paper. You want to see that, and you want your monthly payment lowered. The president of the United States just announced a plan to do it. You call \u2019em up and say, ‘Hey, you know, I\u2019m playing by the rules because I\u2019m making my payments, but I also heard the president say my house isn\u2019t worth anything anymore because of the predatory lending practices of you. You are a predatory lender! The president just called you a predatory lender. You lent me the money in a predatory fashion. You\u2019ve destroyed the value of my house, and I want a lower monthly payment.\u2019 Do it, folks, because while you\u2019re doing that, the people in Group One are going to get totally bailed out. How? Here\u2019s what he said: ‘By modifying loans for families stuck in subprime mortgages they can\u2019t afford as a result of skyrocketing interest rates or personal misfortune.\u2019<\/p>\n

Personal misfortune? What in the name of Sam Hill is the ‘personal misfortune\u2019 in getting a loan you were never, ever going to be able to repay? What\u2019s the personal in that? That\u2019s the group… That\u2019s it. That\u2019s the personal misfortune that you were screwed? You were screwed by getting a loan that you never had a chance to repay? That\u2019s how they got screwed? That\u2019s the ‘personal misfortune.\u2019 You want to explain to me how that\u2019s personal misfortune? How in the name of Sam Hill…? (interruption) Mmm-hmm. Oh, I see. Okay. All right. All right. All right, but that still doesn\u2019t cover it. It is the oppression of society that made these people want houses in the first place. They saw all their neighbors, the achievers, able to afford houses they weren\u2019t able to, and so by an act of Congress, the Community Reinvestment Act, and all these congressmen and Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.<\/p>\n

People who had no hope of ever repaying a loan were given a loan, and that\u2019s oppression. That\u2019s oppression. That\u2019s personal misfortune, to be given money you could never have to pay back, and then go buy a house with it. That\u2019s personal misfortune? ‘Cause you didn\u2019t know the period of time. That\u2019s why it\u2019s predatory. In other words, it\u2019s not your fault, it\u2019s not your fault that you took money on a loan knowing you couldn\u2019t pay it back, not your fault. It\u2019s the lender\u2019s fault for giving you money you couldn\u2019t pay back? Okay. All right, now I understand it. All right, so it\u2019s the lender\u2019s fault that people got subprime mortgages that they couldn\u2019t pay back, for whatever reason. Remember, now, we\u2019re not talking about ARMs here; we\u2019re talking about people who, from the get-go, had no prayer repaying. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re not talking about adjustable rates. We\u2019re not talking about market circumstances that occur after the fact. These are the people who shouldn\u2019t have gotten a loan in the first place. They\u2019re going to be bailed out, and then there is the third group. ‘We\u2019re going to take broader steps to keep mortgage rates low so that families can secure loans with affordable monthly payments.\u2019 Now, in a free market, you can\u2019t do that. In a free market, not one individual can stand up and say with accuracy, ‘We\u2019re going to take broad steps to keep mortgage rates low so that families can secure loans with affordable monthly payments.\u2019 The only way that you can tell people you\u2019re going to do that is if you own the bank, and we\u2019re on the verge of Obama owning the banks. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re on the verge of nationalizing banks where Obama\u2019s going to own \u2019em — and in that case, Obama can give money away at whatever interest rate he wants. And since it\u2019s the US government, they can add up deficit after deficit after deficit. Unlike a bank, the government doesn\u2019t have to show a profit, and so the government can be used, how? To make sure that people who otherwise couldn\u2019t afford something will have it, while those of you who can afford things are going to be forced to buy them, and you\u2019re going to get taxed out the wazoo. Once the economy comes back, at the first sign of economic recovery, you\u2019re gonna face higher taxes in order to defray the costs of giving away things to people that can\u2019t afford \u2019em. That\u2019s just in the second sound bite. Let\u2019s go to the third one.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And through this plan we will help between seven and nine million families restructure or refinance their mortgages so they can afford — uh, uh, uh — avoid foreclosure. And we\u2019re not just helping homeowners at risk of falling over the edge; we\u2019re preventing their neighbors from being pulled over that edge, too, as defaults and foreclosures contribute to sinking home values and failing local businesses and — and lost jobs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s happening anyway, and I still… Okay, so now we\u2019re back to seven to nine million. That\u2019s the operative figure. We were right at the first place. MSNBC is out there saying four million, for whatever reason. They probably can\u2019t listen, can\u2019t hear, can\u2019t read. Seven to nine million, and we\u2019re going to do this with $75 billion. Okay. Brian, you seem to be the most accurate today with a calculator. I want you to divide $75 billion by nine million. There you go: $8,333.33. So basically we\u2019re going to say $8,000. $8,000. If there are nine million families, and there\u2019s $75 billion here, that\u2019s $8,000 — $8,300 did you say? What\u2019s the actual number? Yeah, $8,333 and infinity, 833 infinity. So you tell me how this is going to happen. Snerdley, you said earlier that you\u2019re one of these underwater people. You bought at the top of the market, and the value of your home is now much less than the sum total of your mortgage payments.<\/p>\n

Is 8,000 bucks going to help you here, buddy? Now, this is like the big tax credits of $8 or $13 a week. Would somebody explain to me how $8,000 per troubled homeowner here is gonna matter? See, this is the important thing, folks. See, I\u2019m going four or five steps farther than the average Obamaite. The numbers don\u2019t matter. These are facts. We\u2019re not dealing with facts. We\u2019re dealing with symbolism. We\u2019re dealing with ‘Obama\u2019s going to fix it.\u2019 Remember, it\u2019s not whether it works, it\u2019s does he care, it\u2019s are the intentions really great? Yes, they are. Is it gonna matter? Is it gonna solve anything? Doesn\u2019t matter. Even the people who don\u2019t get their mortgages fixed, they\u2019re still going to be happy as hell, as pigs in slop, that somebody cared. Somebody helped \u2019em, whether there\u2019s help or not, ‘At least he tried.\u2019 If it now doesn\u2019t work, it\u2019s Bush\u2019s fault! It\u2019s Republicans in Congress\u2019 fault, predatory bank lenders\u2019 fault, somebody. I still say if you\u2019re in the underwater group, you should call your mortgage lender today and demand a lower monthly payment. The president just said that\u2019s the objective of the plan. Here\u2019s the next sound bite.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Here\u2019s what my plan does: establishes clear guidelines for the entire mortgage industry that will encourage lenders to modify mortgages on primary residences. Any institution that wishes to receive financial — eh, eh, eh — financial assistance from the government, from taxpayers, and to modify home mortgages, will have to do so according to these guidelines, which will be in place two weeks from today. (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Listen to that. Now, see, Snerdley was uncomfortable saying this is a guy operating from anger and a get-even-with-them mentality. But, folks, how else are we supposed to interpret this? ‘My plan establishes clear guidelines for the entire mortgage industry that will encourage lenders…\u2019 Ha-ha! There\u2019s a gun pointed at them. They\u2019ll be ‘encouraged to modify mortgages on primary residences. Any institution that wishes to receive financial assistance from the government and to modify home mortgages will have to do so according to my guidelines.\u2019 So Obama is running the mortgage industry now. Any of these banks, any of these places that have taken federal money, Obama is setting the mortgage rules. And listen to the cheers. Listen to the cheers that he\u2019s getting. Here\u2019s the final sound bite.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Solving this crisis will require more than resources. It will require all of us to step back and take responsibility.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Step up.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Government has to take responsibility for setting rules of the road that are fair and fairly enforced. Banks and lenders must be held accountable for ending the practices that got us into this crisis in the first place (applause) and each of us as individuals have to take responsibility for their own actions. (applause) That means all of us have to learn to live within our means again and not assume that housing prices are going to go up 20, 30, 40% every year.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Those people applauding do not think he\u2019s talking about them or to them. We\u2019ll analyze this when we get back, but I gotta take a time-out here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, let\u2019s go back now and listen to audio sound bite number 27 again, our final sound bite from the Obama fascist home bailout proposal.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Solving this crisis will require more than resources. It will require all of us to step back and take responsibility.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Government has to take responsibility for setting rules of the road that are fair and fairly enforced.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. That is not what government has to take responsibility for. Government\u2019s responsibility is causing this. Government has to take the responsibility for causing this problem. Government caused the subprime mortgage problem. Government forced lenders to give loans to people that couldn\u2019t pay them back. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the fraud we found that was taking place in there, this was the bottom line. Government\u2019s responsibility, they already set the rules. They already enforced the rules, and it got us where we are.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Banks and lenders must be held accountable for ending the practices that got us into this crisis in the first place.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. What did they do? They listened to the government. They were forced to make these loans. And here\u2019s the final part.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And each of us as individuals have to take responsibility for their own actions.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, we don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: It means all of us have to learn to live within our means again and not assume that housing prices are going to go up 20, 30, 40% every year.<\/p>\n

RUSH: These people applauding do not think Obama\u2019s talking to them or about them. They think he\u2019s talking about other people taking responsibility. The people showing up to hear Obama are on the receiving end of all this. So let me analyze, let me translate what you just heard. This is Obama: ‘I\u2019m giving you people who were irresponsible a pile of money. Now, be responsible. I\u2019m giving all of you banks, who I forced to take government money, a chance to follow my orders, because you took the money. And I\u2019m now going to be in charge of your mortgage rates. I\u2019m going to be in charge of how you loan money \u2019cause you took money I forced you to take. And I\u2019m giving you responsible people who are going to pay for all this the shaft. Bend over, grab the ankles, and enjoy it.\u2019<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Barack Obama says the opposite of what he means. Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the middle of 1984. I\u2019ve read the book 1984, George Orwell. I feel like we\u2019re living it now. Not only is the government not taking responsibility for any of the mess that it caused, nor are the people who took out these loans owning up to them. People who took out the loans with no hope of repaying them are being given scot-free excuses, get outta jail cards. This $75 billion proposal does the opposite. It makes those not culpable responsible for those who caused it. It\u2019s the polar opposite of accountability and responsibility. The very people that caused this get away scot-free with no accountability, no responsibility. Those of you who played by the rules did not take out loans you couldn\u2019t afford, saw your house price plunge, you are the ones who are said to be culpable. Now, you\u2019re responsible for making this good. It is the polar opposite of accountability and responsibility. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to tell you what this is. We are dangerously close here to the literal confiscation of wealth to make all of these bailouts, whatever you call them, the mortgage bailout, the stimulus plan, TARP 1, TARP 2, these are redistributionist schemes. Why worry about messing with the tax code? Why worry about raising rates, when Obama can just go after everybody\u2019s accumulated wealth by forcing these massive redistributions that those who have assets are going to have to pay for? Folks, seriously. We have a bailout plan here. I can\u2019t stress this enough. I\u2019m sorry for being redundant. The prime beneficiaries of the plan are people who could not have ever repaid the loan. Now, that means they should never have been given the loan. We can argue about why, but we know, the government forced lenders to make these loans, Obama just admitted that\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen again. Well, now, if people who can\u2019t afford to pay a loan are going to be allowed to keep the house, and somebody\u2019s going to pay the loan, there\u2019s going to be assistance, $75 billion here, who do you think\u2019s paying that? Those of you who have assets. This is called redistribution. <\/p>\n

Remember the conversation Obama had with Joe the Plumber? (doing Obama impression) ‘Well, we just want to even things out. We want to take from those who have a little bit more than they need, then give it away, you know, spread it around, a bit more equality out there.\u2019 Whatever it was he said; it\u2019s redistributionist. That\u2019s what all these bailout plans are: a redistribution is born of anger. I\u2019m telling you there is an anger behind all of this, a desire to get even with all the achievers, or however Obama looks at the people who have been successful in this country. I know you are filled with anger and rage, and it is effervescing all over the place and I\u2019ll just tell you, there are some liberal commentators who are starting to worry. They know that it\u2019s out there, and they are worried what it\u2019s going to mean for 2010, whether the economy rebounds enough or not, they\u2019re worried about what it means for 2012, because rich white liberals are attacking other successful people. <\/p>\n

They are engaged in a redistribution program, the rich white liberals in Congress, led by Obama in the White House, and they are redistributing as fast as they can to the have-nots, the will-not-work-nots, the whoever it is, they\u2019re buying votes with it is what they\u2019re doing, and in the process they are destroying or trying to destroy the US capitalist system. If people don\u2019t wake up to these latest assaults on the system, you\u2019re going to wake up one day and find out that everything you\u2019ve worked for is gone or worthless, \u2019cause it\u2019s subject to being confiscated and redistributed to the people Obama thinks have been the victims of our unfair and unjust society. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
