RUSH: Arlington, Virginia, this is Rick. Rick, welcome to the program, sir. Nice to have you here.CALLER: Good afternoon, sir. Rush, I haven't heard you mention Phase II of Operation Chaos since the Obama campaign cut you off at the knees. Ever since they capitalized on your announcement of Phase II stating your blind sheep followers were welcome to help set the Democratic agenda, you've been silent. And I work for a delivery organization as a cover carrier running dozens of routes, and whenever...

RUSH: The latest IRS data have arrived on who paid what share of income taxes in 2006. We mentioned this last week, but it's going to be hard for the rich to pay any more in tax than they already do.

RUSH: Senator McCain and a number of others suggested a gas tax holiday this summer, a federal gas tax holiday. However, it ain't going to happen and instead something else is in the works. "Lawmakers are quietly talking about raising fuel taxes by ten cents," by a dime, "from the current 18.4 cents a gallon on gasoline and 24.3 cents on diesel."

RUSH: Poor old McCain. Poor old McCain, he's desperate, I mean, the guy cannot cut a break. We knew this was going to happen. We knew that this kind of fawning coverage for Obama was going to happen and poor old McCain, I'm actually feeling sorry for him. Do you know what happened to him? Obama had an op-ed in the New York Times last week, and everyone was just going nuts over it, just fawning over it. So McCain submitted an op-ed to the New York Times, and they rejected it. I have the letter...

RUSH: Hey, somebody answer a question for me. Has Obama found Bin Laden yet? Has Obama solved Middle East peace yet? Oh that's tomorrow. Has he made the rivers run with gold yet? Has he stopped the need for war? Has he walked on water yet? That's for Sunday. Man, oh, man, what is Obama doing? He's pimping Bush's ride, ladies and gentlemen. That is precisely the way to describe this, pimping Bush's ride. Here's a guy that's been in the Senate for 143 days, rather, saying we need more...
