RUSH: Yesterday morning on the Fox News Channel's America's Newsroom, the anchor, Bill Hemmer, spoke with Bob Beckel. He said, "The Obama campaign is set to release a 13-minute documentary about McCain's involvement in the Keating Five scandal from the early 1990s. How does this play with voters now, Bob? You get the first crack at this. Is this a strategery. How do you see it?"BECKEL: She [Palin] could be Freddy Krueger's running buddy on Elm Street.HEMMER: The simple point that she was...

RUSH: I mentioned mere moments ago, ladies and gentlemen, the AP Obama out with a story claiming that in 1981 John McCain "sat on the board of the US Council for World Freedom, an ultraright-wing group founded by Iran-Contra figure Major General John Singlaub." Singlaub did not found the group. This is a bogus charge. It's an attempt to take the stench out of Obama's association with Ayers. But let's compare, shall we, John Singlaub to William Ayers. Singlaub is a great man. He's is "a highly-decorated...

RUSH: Joe in Martha's Vineyard. Welcome, sir, to the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hey, how are you?RUSH: Good. Thank you.CALLER: It is an honor to talk to you. I can't believe I've been on hold for a while. It's great. Anyway, my reason for calling is that I definitely hope that John McCain points the finger at these people that you just mentioned, like Gorelick, Dodd, Reid, Johnson, who's on his little whatever you call, campaign thing. Frank is like a total blowhard -- I'm sorry. I just...

RUSH: To Conover, North Carolina, and Mike, you're first today. Nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Thank you, Rush. A pleasure to talk to you.RUSH: Yes, sir.CALLER: I got an update on Michelle Obama. I guess he decided she'd served her penance and pulled the tape off her mouth, 'cause according to the North Carolina news network, at lunchtime today, she's in Jacksonville, North Carolina meeting with some military families down there about the hardships they're undergoing while...

RUSH: Let me give you an analogy. Let me try another way of putting this in perspective. Let me compare O.J. Simpson to Bill Ayers. Everybody sees that it's clearly not cool to go out and play golf with O.J. I was talking to somebody over the weekend, and they were in a restaurant somewhere in Florida when O.J. walked in with some people. They got up and left. They didn't want to be in the same restaurant with a man who they thought had murdered two people. By the way, O.J. was shocked at...

RUSH: I just love the way the Drive-Bys and the Democrats have been popped out of their gourd over the fact that Bill Ayers has now entered the mainstream. The New York Times had a piece, what was it, Sunday? Was it Sunday? I think it was Sunday. They had a piece on Sunday about Ayers and the relationship, and they concluded they only met twice. It was just chock-full of absolute lies. The New York Times did its best to deflect all this but they failed and the Drive-Bys, the Democrats, are...

RUSH: So the Democrats preach for 18 months that the economy is in a depression. They actually try to destroy the economy with their left-wing policies. Don't forget this. You know, people are out there saying, "Rush, it's very important to tell people about Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, but it's the economy. The economy is all people care about right now." These two things are linked, ladies and gentlemen. You cannot separate Obama's alliances with socialist leftists and say it has nothing...

RUSH: You know, oil prices are getting pretty low out there, they're hovering around $90 a barrel. What's the Dow Jones Industrial Average right now? It's down a little bit, but I'm sitting here thinking that old Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could probably use an artificial boost in oil prices with an international incident such as shooting down a plane, a Hungarian plane, maybe something that didn't happen. I guarantee you, $90 a barrel is killing Iran; it's killing Russia; it's killing Venezuela. Greetings,...
