RUSH: Here's Adam in Montreal. Great to have you, sir. Welcome.CALLER: Hello. I'm calling about the Chicago Bears and what do you think their chances are this year, especially without Favre being in the division.RUSH: You know, I watched a little bit of the Bears last night against the San Francisco Fort'iners, and the Bears are an enigma. They still don't have a quarterback. They've still got the same two backup quarterbacks they had last year, Kyle Orton's gotten the starting nod, right,...

RUSH: I just had something pointed out to me, ladies and gentlemen. There's a recent New York Times Magazine article, 8,000 words on Barack Obama's economic plan. There is this paragraph in that story. Seriously now. If you think what he said about China was over the top, try this. Quote, Obama: "'If you talk to Warren [Buffett], he'll tell you his preference is not to meddle in the economy at all -- let the market work, however way it's going to work, and then just tax the heck out of people...

RUSH: It's Gene in Casper, Wyoming. Nice to have you here.CALLER: Hi, Mr. Limbaugh.RUSH: Hi.CALLER: It's an honor talking to you.RUSH: Thank you.CALLER: I did this for all the right reasons, but I looked into windmill power to see if I could save myself money. I was going to save the earth with this, okay? And it turns out that these things are expensive. I called Bergey, which makes a lot of these windmill things, and you've gotta buy the windmill, the generators, the tower. You have to...

RUSH: Don in San Antonio, Texas, welcome.CALLER: From one sports connoisseur to another, I do have a question for you, Rush.RUSH: Ask it.CALLER: Do you believe the reason that the Senate as well as the House and the Congress is getting involved with the business of pro sports, is because they use taxpayer money to build stadiums?RUSH: Well, I think that might be one of the items of leverage that they use to justify it, as well as some sports, you know, have anti-trust exemption. But I think...

RUSH: Day three, the Drive-By Media focusing on me and McCain. Last night Larry King had a panel to discuss it. He spoke to former Clinton advisor The Forehead and Democrat strategerist Jamal Simmons. Wait a minute, he had a panel of two Democrats? No, there was a Republican there. We'll get to him on the next bite. Here is Larry King saying to The Forehead, Forehead, "do you see the chance of a Joe Lieberman on that ticket?"THE FOREHEAD: I think he really wants Ridge, and this is a gut test...

I want people to know that the American...

RUSH: If you're just joining us, ladies and gentlemen, we have learned that a surprise name has been talked about at top of the ticket, top of the list for Obama's number two: Chet Edwards, personal choice of Nancy Pelosi, as she announced it on the August 3rd edition of George Stephanopoulos' Sunday show on ABC. More importantly than that we have learned that Obama did not even consider Hillary Clinton, did not have one conversation with her. They did not do any investigation of who might the donors...

RUSH: This house business, this is such a nonstory. The rich elitism now is almost entirely found on the left. From the Jay Rockefellers to the John Kerrys to the Pelosis. I mean Pelosi is a multimillionairess with her husband. She's got all kinds of homes. This business that they're still focusing on McCain on this, just classic, just classic the way the media just pumps this stuff up and tries to make a story out of it to try to help Obama, because it's such a nonstory. McCain doesn't own...

RUSH: Here's that Warren Buffett sound bite from CNBC this morning. He was talking with the anchorette Becky Quick, and she basically said, "Look, after some revelations, spectacular fall that Edwards would no longer be speaking at the convention, Warren, you supported Obama but did you ever give money to Edwards?"BUFFETT: No, I didn't give money to John Edwards. In fact, I think if I'd given money to him I probably would be asking for it back now. In fact, I've never heard of it, but it might...

RUSH: Here is Obama after the cameras had shut down.OBAMA: Everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now in the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly superior to us now, which means if you're a corporation deciding where to do business, you're starting to think Beijing looks like a pretty good option.RUSH: There he goes again running down the United States. Do you know the...

RUSH: An Operation Chaos update, ladies and gentlemen. This is something that we've been looking for, we've been watching, studying this, and we expected what is happening to happen. We also expected it not to get covered. Rasmussen Reports says that the number of registered Democrats is declining. Two percent in July alone, ladies and gentlemen. Also, the Rasmussen Report says in January and February, while Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were in the early stages of the battle for the Democrat...

RUSH: Hey, ladies, those of you in the Hillary camp, she wasn't even vetted! Caroline Kennedy never talked to her. They didn't ask for any donors from the Clinton library. She wasn't even considered as a vice presidential running mate. She wasn't even given the thought of one second in a day. This is no way to treat the Clintons. Greetings, my friends, Open Line Friday. Not only is it right, the woman behind it is Pelosi. 800-282-2882 is the number if you want to be on the program. I'm...

Story #1: Libs Push Universal Preschool for Indoctrination RUSH: Interesting story today in the Wall Street Journal. It's an opinion piece, actually, by Shikha Dalmia and Lisa Snell, and it's called "Protect Our Kids from Preschool." It starts out by saying, "Barack Obama says he believes in universal preschool and if he's elected president he'll pump 'billions of dollars into early childhood education.'" ChiComs do that, too. "Universal preschool is now second only to universal health care on...
