RUSH: Here's Richard in Oxnard, California. Great that you waited. Welcome to the program, sir.CALLER: Afternoon, Rush.RUSH: Yes.CALLER: I'm looking at Obama as the next black president. He would be a third term for Bill Clinton. He's very Clintonesque in his attempt to have both sides of every issue, to avoid criticism from the left or the right.RUSH: Both sides? Obama's got at least five sides to some issues.CALLER: Yeah. Many faceted, isn't he?RUSH: Well, but you know the Official...

RUSH: Burt in Jacksonville, Florida, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hello.RUSH: Hello.CALLER: Can you hear me?RUSH: Yeah.CALLER: All right, I called, number one, because I'm one of the screaming liberals you're always talking about. Personally, I think Big Oil should be nationalized.RUSH: I don't believe you. I don't believe you, Burt, because you're not screaming.CALLER: (laughing) I can do that if you want.RUSH: No, no, I like it this way better.CALLER: Okay. Number one,...

RUSH: Last Thursday on C-SPAN's Washington Journal. We put together a montage of unidentified C-SPAN callers about the extension of my partnership agreement with Clear Channel.C-SPAN CALLER #1: I couldn't be happier. I listened to Rush for 20 years. I feel like he's a friend. He deserves it. Rush is entertainment. He's fun, he's upbeat. Rush brings out the best of our country, what the United States really stands for, what it means to be an American, and it's so important for people to understand...

RUSH: Another audio sound bite here before we go to the break, just a little funny one. This is from C-SPAN2's In Depth. It was yesterday, host Pedro Echevarria interviewing political essayist Katha Pollitt. He asked her, "Do you think feminism is more accepted today than it was in the past?"POLLITT: The word "feminism" has been I think successfully demonized by the media. So that, for example, the word "feminazi" -- which was, I believe, a coinage of Rush Limbaugh; that distinguished sociologist...

RUSH: I want to go back to audio sound bite number eight, the Republican National Committee ad. I want you to put yourself in a position of a Republican member of Congress running for reelection. You've got it tough this year because the template is the Democrats are going to pick up huge majorities in both houses. Now, I know there's polling data to support that. But can I ask you to also think about something else before we play the ad? How many of you bought into the template that it's over?...

RUSH: Global Warming Stack today, folks, try this. This is ABC: "Plasma and LCDs Blamed for Accelerating Global Warming." Why do these people have any credibility left whatsoever? I just shared with you the story of the gigantic, wasteful carbon footprint that the Democrats are going to make putting on their convention in Denver, all of these fires in California, a carbon footprint that dwarfs whatever automobiles out there are emitting -- and now plasma and LCD televisions are going to accelerate...

RUSH: Grand Rapids, Tim, you're up first today. Nice to have you on the EIB Network hello.CALLER: Hello.RUSH: Yeah.CALLER: Thanks for taking my call, Rush.RUSH: Yes, sir. You bet.CALLER: My question for you is why more Republicans aren't, you know, staying on the mountaintops, screaming about all the yellowcake that we successfully removed from Iraq. This goes a lot deeper than that. It appears Joe Wilson was wrong when he went to Niger. It appears Barack Obama was wrong in his reasoning...

RUSH: Thomas in Huron, Ohio, you're on the EIB Network. Your big showbiz break. Make it count.CALLER: Okay. This is Thomas. Thank you very much for taking my call, Mr. Limbaugh.RUSH: Yes, sir.CALLER: Can you hear me?RUSH: Yeah. Yes.CALLER: So much silence there. I know where the next flip-flop, or, as you call it, huge error in judgment is going to occur with Mr. Obama, and that is that somebody, let's say some group like let's say a labor union is going to whisper into Mr. Obama's ear,...

RUSH: To Oakville, Missouri, this is Faith. Nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hi, Rush. I think that everything that you've said so far on the radio has been a waste of our time to listen to and your time to talk about.RUSH: When, today, or the whole time I've been on?CALLER: Just today.RUSH: Just today.CALLER: Well, the last couple weeks.RUSH: That's really insulting. That is really insulting. It's been a waste of your time to listen to?CALLER: Wouldn't you like to...

RUSH: This is the Denver Post. The New York Times has a story as well. The Pepsi Center is getting a makeover for Democrat National Committee. Folks, wait 'til you hear this. "The Pepsi Center hands over the keys to construction teams for the Democratic National Convention Committee at 8 a.m. Monday, and the on-the-ground, multimillion-dollar race to transform the arena into a convention hall by Aug. 25 begins. Standing inside the Pepsi Center not long after Denver won the bid, the facility's...

RUSH: The New York Times is not happy, by the way, with Obama and his incompetence, his positions on Iraq. "New and Not Improved," is what it's called. This is their July Fourth lead editorial. "Senator Barack Obama stirred his legions of supporters, and raised our hopes, promising to change the old order of things. ... Now there seems to be a new Barack Obama on the hustings. First, he broke his promise to try to keep both major parties within public-financing limits for the general election....

RUSH: The thing about Obama that bothers me the most, including his incompetence and inexperience that he has, he's like all liberals, he has a condescending attitude toward the people of the country, people are genuinely stupid and susceptible to a cynical campaign like his, thinks they're going to buy everything he says because he's The Messiah. He uses a variety of strategeries. He tears down the country to justify his change message, and then claims his change message is new, when we know...

RUSH: Now, the flip-flop, calling Obama a flip-flopper is not going to be enough to win on. It's just not. It's going to be better over the course of the next weeks and months to proclaim and describe his inexperience and his incompetence and to say that these flip-flops are really just the result of incompetence and inexperience, which are leading him to make goofs, which are leading him to lie, which are leading him to flounder around. All of these flip-flops have got to be referred to as the...

RUSH: We have Obama -- and, by the way, folks, on this flip-flop business, let's not use the word flip-flop. I don't think it's going to persuade anybody. It worked with Kerry because Kerry was such n idiot. I mean, his flip-flops were just funny. "I voted for it before I voted against it." You gotta remember one thing about these flip-flops, and I'm going to stop using the term here in just a second. Most people are not really paying close attention right now to all this, despite what might...

Story #1: Uranium Yellowcake Removed from Iraq RUSH: So, 550 metric tons of yellowcake ferreted out of Iraq on the way to Canada. This yellowcake, from what I understand, was from Gulf War 1. I guess the left's position now is going to be, "Well, we had no business going into Iraq. We should have left that yellowcake with Saddam Hussein and his multi-billion-dollar fraud known as the Oil-for-Food Program."Story #2: Murtha Admits the Surge Worked, Then Lies RUSH: Jack Murtha, last week in Pittsburgh...
