RUSH: You seasoned citizens out there, in addition to the fact that the Obama administration has plans for you called Cash for Caskets, get this. <\/line><\/line>‘Millions of older people face shrinking Social Security checks next year. The trustees who oversee Social Security are projecting there won\u2019t be a lost-of-living adjustment for the next two years. That hasn\u2019t happened since automatic increases were adopted in 1975. Cost-of-living adjustments are pegged to inflation which has been negative this year largely because energy prices are below 2008 levels.\u2019 Now, this could also be a ploy designed to get seasoned citizens on board for health care, whatever health care the Obama administration wants. But it isn\u2019t going to work. This is just going to add up to more negatives for Obama. The seasoned citizen population is well aware of Obama\u2019s Cash for Caskets program with them in the caskets. In fact, ladies and gentlemen, we told you about the VA Death Book last week. The Obama administration, ladies and gentlemen, has decided they need to counter the bad publicity. <\/line><\/p>\n

(playing of Obama spoof) <\/p>\n

RUSH: So the news that senior citizens\u2019 Social Security checks will not have a COLA (cost-of-living increase) for the next two years is more bad news for Obama. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s that story again from the AP. It was posted yesterday: ”Millions Face Shrinking Social Security Payments\u2019 — Millions of older people face shrinking Social Security checks next year, the first time in a generation that payments would not rise.\u2019 Isn\u2019t this a cut? Shouldn\u2019t the correct language in the State-Controlled Media be: ‘Social Security Recipients Face Cut in Benefits the Next Two Years?\u2019 Rationed benefits, cuts in Social Security. Now, for you senior citizens out there, I am not making this up. If this were happening with the Bush administration, the word ‘cut\u2019 would be all over the headline and in the story. Your Social Security is being cut because you\u2019re not getting a cost of living adjustment for the next two years. <\/p>\n

By the way, leave our penises alone, too. This is getting out of hand. There is a story that some officials in the Obama administration are pushing for circumcision for all boys born in the USA to fight HIV\/AIDS. Not that I\u2019m against circumcision, but it\u2019s a family\u2019s decision. Leave our penises alone, too, Obama! You know who\u2019s going to be really upset about this news? NOCIRC, the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers. They\u2019re a San Francisco group, and they want to eliminate circumcision. Here\u2019s Obama out there saying we gotta have circumcision of every young boy born in the country. This is not going to please the NOCIRC people at all. <\/line>Social Security cuts the next two years. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Vickie in Brooksville, Kentucky, welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, it\u2019s absolutely an honor and a pleasure —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and mega dittos — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — from Kentucky and flyover country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re welcome. I just wanted to talk to you about the cuts in Social Security. I\u2019m not ready for it yet. My husband\u2019s a 24-year disabled vet. We just got slapped with the Death Book and now the COLA thing. It\u2019s the hypocrisy that\u2019s pissing us off. It\u2019s the blatant, in-your-face hypocrisy. It\u2019s like being married to a malignant narcissist who keeps saying to you, ‘Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes and ears?\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: You are saying…?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m sick of it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You are saying that Obama is the equivalent of being married to an abusive husband?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. It just seems to be getting worse and worse. It\u2019s like the abused wife who all of a sudden takes the shotgun out, you know? I mean, just flips out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no, no, no!<\/p>\n

CALLER: One of these days, we\u2019re just going to slip!<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no. That isn\u2019t what I mean. I don\u2019t mean that literally. I\u2019m saying it figuratively as if the wife who just flips then, you know? That\u2019s what it\u2019s like being hitched up to this guy. Every day it\u2019s something new, a new bombshell..<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I understand. I understand you can\u2019t get away.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I did not mean it that way. Please, forgive me. I did not mean it that way.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. What you mean is you can\u2019t get away from the guy even when he\u2019s on vacation. You can\u2019t get away from the guy. He\u2019s always screwing up your life. He is always oppressing you, beating you up, abusing you, cutting your Social Security, telling you that you gotta decide when it\u2019s good for you to die.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
