RUSH: I discussed with you last week a guy at Andrew Breitbart\u2019s web page, http:\/\/BigHollywood.Breitbart.com. He used to write for a late-night show and he studies them now for their impact on the youths of American pop culture. And he\u2019s been chronicling how some of the late-night comedians, particularly Jon Stewart, are now starting to make fun of Obama. As an example: ‘Last week\u2019s Daily Show also featured a montage of the President refuting criticisms of his health care plan. After the string of presidential rebuttals Stewart concluded, ‘You know a sales pitch is in trouble when it starts with, ‘Look, you\u2019ve got to trust me. We\u2019re not going to kill your grandparents.” Now, that wouldn\u2019t have happened two months ago or one month ago. <\/p>\n

From The Politico yesterday: ‘President Barack Obama is warning Americans not to believe ‘rumors\u2019 that the health reform initiative he\u2019s pushing will lead to a government-run health care system or push Medicare recipients to die rather than running up a hefty tab for medical services. ‘Let me start by dispelling the outlandish rumors that reform will promote euthanasia, or cut Medicaid, or bring about a government takeover of health care. That\u2019s simply not true,\u2019 Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address…\u2019 Here\u2019s my question, and I\u2019m dead serious. How can Obama say what his plan does when he does not have a plan? This is not insignificant. Obama does not have a plan. <\/p>\n

When Obama says what is or isn\u2019t in his plan, it\u2019s a head fake because there isn\u2019t a plan! The only plan that\u2019s out there is the House plan, 1,100 pages. There are four different Senate plans but we haven\u2019t seen \u2019em all \u2019cause they\u2019re still in committee. Barack Obama cannot produce a plan that spells out anything. Now, if he wants to rely on the House legislation, he should say so. If he\u2019s making comments… But he better be very careful, because there are provisions galore for factoring your death when you reach a certain seasoned citizen age. There are facts and proposals and pages galore of how health care is going to be rationed. But, again, the president is misleading the American people because when he says what ‘his plan\u2019 does or doesn\u2019t do, he doesn\u2019t have a plan!<\/p>\n

The White House has not put out a plan. (interruption) Have you seen it, Mr. Snerdley? (interruption) Well, I don\u2019t know that the Democrat plan is his plan by virtue of him being head of the party because what he\u2019s saying about that plan isn\u2019t true! This is why I\u2019m making the point. He says that there\u2019s no euthanasia in it. Well, maybe there\u2019s no euthanasia by actually giving them hemlock, but there\u2019s euthanasia by denying them the medical treatment based on certain things. What else? It\u2019s in there. If he says it\u2019s not in there then it can\u2019t be the House plan he\u2019s talking about. If he says, ‘There\u2019s no way you\u2019re going to lose your private insurance or your doctor; if you like it you can keep it,\u2019 he can\u2019t be talking about the House plan because you will lose your private insurance and your doctor. It\u2019s on page 16 in the House plan. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m just saying: How can Obama say what his plan does when he doesn\u2019t have a plan? He can\u2019t produce one that spells out anything. So if he\u2019s relying on the House bill like you point out, then he should say so. Otherwise he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about. Otherwise, he\u2019s just lying to everybody. Did we all make this up, all these concerns we have? Did we all make this up? No. We read the House bill. Now, he\u2019s telling us that what we\u2019ve read is not in the plan. Okay. Not to be broken record, but where in hell is the plan, then? Would somebody show me the freaking plan? It\u2019s just like I want to see the plan for jobs. We\u2019ve got a Porkulus stimulus bill, but I want to see the plan for jobs. He says we\u2019re in recovery and we\u2019re being rescued. I want to see it! I don\u2019t see it happening out there. What is he looking at? Government workers being hired like in California? <\/p>\n

California hired 3,600 more government workers the other day. Now, people at Power Line, our good buddies over there John Hinderaker and Scott Johnson, Paul Mirengoff. (Maybe it\u2019s Hinderaker. I\u2019ve not heard their names pronounced.) ‘An Honest Look at the House Dems\u2019 End-of-Life Counseling Regime — Democratic politicians and the [State-Controlled Media] consider it a given that concerns about the ‘end-of-life counseling\u2019 provision in Section 1233 of a House-drafted version of health care legislation are nothing but the unfounded product of right-wing fear-mongering. But Charles Lane of the Washington Post… has taken a careful look at Section 1233 and finds that he too is concerned. The federal govenment (sic) should not be in the business of skewing end-of-life counsel, and thus end-of-life decisions.\u2019 The Washington Post has looked at it, and even their guy is a little troubled here about where this could lead. So, Mr. President, even your State-Controlled Media has seen what you say isn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Charles Lane of the Washington Post says: ‘You don\u2019t have to be a right-wing wacko to question\u2019 the presidents approach here on end-of-life decisions in the health care bill. So the Washington Post, state-controlled, is providing a little problem for the president here, but at the same time they\u2019re helping out and preparing for swine flu\u2019s return. It\u2019s going to be worse than ever! Once we get to the wintertime, just in time in the vote on health care, swine flu will ravage your children at school. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, what people have said is, there is. There\u2019s end-of-life counseling, mandatory government end-of-life counseling in the House health care bill. Charles Lane, Washington Post: ‘Ideally, the delicate decisions about how to manage life\u2019s end would be made in a setting that is neutral in both appearance and fact. Yes, it\u2019s good to have a doctor\u2019s perspective. But Section 1233 [of the House bill] goes beyond facilitating doctor input to preferring it. Indeed, the measure would have an interested party — the government — recruit doctors to sell the elderly on living wills, hospice care and their associated providers, professions and organizations. <\/p>\n

‘You don\u2019t have to be a right-wing wacko to question that approach,\u2019 writes Mr. Lane. So it\u2019s why I say, when the president starts talking about his plan, what the hell is it? ‘Cause he\u2019s talking about something nobody\u2019s seen. What we\u2019ve seen is not what he\u2019s talking about, unless he\u2019s lying. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
