RUSH: Marion, Illinois, John, you\u2019re next, Open Line Friday. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mr. Rush, mega dittos from southern Illinois.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: It\u2019s a pleasure to talk with you. I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve talked about the Toyota issue very much, but I read an article in the Wall Street Journal of where the Obama administration had talked with Toyota and they had put the onus on Toyota to do something about this (quote, unquote) ‘problem\u2019 with the gas pedal sticking and all that good stuff that\u2019s going on. I sold Toyota for the last six years prior. I\u2019m not selling anymore. I know several people in the business, including service managers that have worked on them for years. I\u2019ve never had one customer complain. I\u2019ve never seen it. The service manager said that it\u2019s impossible for them to go in and recreate the situation that\u2019s causing the gas pedal to stick.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, wait a minute, now. There is a recall, isn\u2019t there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, Toyota is recalling them to change them, and the only reason they\u2019re doing that is to preempt the government from doing more. Now, I know I\u2019m not a Toyota executive, but I worked in Toyota and I know how they work, and they want to be aboveboard no matter what\u2019s going on. They want to have the best attitude and look the best they can to their customers by saying, ‘Okay, we don\u2019t even know if there\u2019s really a major problem but we\u2019re going to recall them.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I think Obama Motor Company\u2019s also exploiting this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Very much so.<\/p>\n

RUSH: In the midst of this, they\u2019re offering potential customers a $1,000 rebate if they\u2019d get rid of their Toyota and come buy an Obamamobile.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s exactly right. That goes to my main point: You know, this Government Motors that we own now still can\u2019t sell cars. They\u2019re still losing major money because they\u2019re bending over backwards for the unions. They\u2019re crying about jobs not being created, yet they\u2019re trying their best to cause Toyota to lose jobs in the United States, and then they just happened to have all these commercials ready to go for national television saying, ‘Well, you bring your Toyota in to us and we\u2019ll give you an extra thousand dollars for it.\u2019 Don\u2019t tell me that this is not planned out and that Obama didn\u2019t know. He knows exactly what he\u2019s doing, and this is just another nail in the coffin, hopefully, in 2012 when he runs again, and people have enough of this and they\u2019re just sick of it. It just infuriated me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can tell. I can hear it. I can hear the infuriation in your voice. I can hear it. I\u2019m trained that way and I can tell that you\u2019re angry. I can also see that Honda is going to recall 640,000 cars. I don\u2019t know what the reason for it is. I\u2019ll find out. But your theory is it would be to keep Obama off their back.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the Honda story on the recall of 646,000 cars. It\u2019s the Honda Fit. There are 140,000 of them in the United States. ‘The Fit is Honda\u2019s best-selling model in Japan. Honda said the recall was to fix a defective master switch, which could cause water to enter the power window switch and in some cases cause a fire. There were three reported cases of fires due to the defect, two in the United States and one in South Africa…\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
