USH: So Romney takes that and runs with it! It was nice. It was a great answer, and he accepts the premise that Obama is running against capitalism. It was a nice setup, and he took it. What we've done here is we put together a montage of Obama's history of attacking capitalism, from September of 2008 all the way through the present day. OBAMA (montage): I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street. You can't get corporate jets. You can't go take a trip to Las Vegas. I do think at a certain point you've made enough money. If somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It will bankrupt them. The insurance industry is making this last-ditch effort to stop reform even as costs continue to rise and our health care dollars continue to be poured into their profits. Cost-cutting has become embedded in their operations and in their culture. That may result in good profits, but it's not translating into hiring. Speculators can reap millions while millions of American families get the short end of the stick. If that same diabetic ends up getting their foot amputated, that's 30,000, 40, $50,000 immediately the surgeon is reimbursed. The market will take care of everything. Here's the problem. It doesn't work. It has never worked. White folks' greed runs a world in need. In this country, broad-based prosperity has never trickled down from the success of a wealthy few.
RUSH: Those are just some examples that we found off the top of our heads. Just the last two weeks alone Obama's been on a tear about capitalism. But he started with his speech in Osawatomie, Kansas, this year. Capitalism doesn't work. America doesn't work; it has never worked. (interruption) Why play it again? There's so much in there? Okay, we'll play it again. Snerdley wants to hear it again. Here it is again. It's about 58 seconds. It's about a minute. And this is a series of statements from Obama which individually and cumulatively all add up to a guy who is unquestioningly anti-capitalist, and now he's running for reelection on that basis, running against capitalism. Now, the stuff at the end of is the most pointed and direct, but every one of these little excerpts has an anti-capitalist hatred, dislike, resentment, foundation, whatever you want to call it. |
