Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.

You keep me sane and entertained. You know, I don\u2019t call Barack Obama a jackass; I call him (unintelligible) Obama. But I just thought you\u2019d be interesting in knowing this. Unfortunately, I\u2019m an SEIU member. Not by choice. It\u2019s my occupation.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, I understand how that works.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And I noticed on our bulletin board the other day that it said that in January our health insurance plan was going to go on up 4.4%. I thought Andy Stern did some backroom deals where that wasn\u2019t going to happen. So I just wanted to make sure all the libs out there listening, especially the SEIU, know that they\u2019re not immune. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How many&#8230;? I want to ask you a serious question. We\u2019ve got less than a minute here. How many SEIU members actually think that their health care cost, premiums or whatever are gonna go down because of Obama loving the unions, Obama doing health care. How many people in that union actually believe that?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You know, I\u2019m not a really active member so I can\u2019t really give you a definitive answer on that but I guarantee you it\u2019s a majority that think &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Really?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; &#8216;Oh, I\u2019ll be protected.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The union people really think Andy Stern is looking out for them?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, he was. I mean, he\u2019s no longer there, but, yeah. When you saw those pictures of him coming out of the White House, I think the union members thought &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, see &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; &#8216;Hey, we\u2019re set.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Some of them are. I have no doubt. But I really think a lot of these people are foils. I think Stern is not interested in them. He\u2019s interested in how they can be used, how their money can be used, how their votes can be used to advance his agenda and Obama\u2019s. They\u2019re tools. And what are they going to do? Where are they gonna go? I mean, in an conomy like this, what if their health care costs do go up? They\u2019re just going to blame management somewhere along the line and keep the workers all ticked off and agitated to continue the whole process. That\u2019s how they work. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Joe in Ventura, California. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program. Hello, sir. CALLER: Thank you, Rush.
