RUSH: Andy in Niles, Michigan. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello, sir.CALLER: Hello, Rush. It's an honor to speak with you today.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: I just watched some of the debate last night and, boy, Obama seems to be able to say anything he wants and get away with it, and I would expect that McCain would have wanted to take him up on things. One thing I heard him say last night was when the question was asked about using the military for human rights violations and how would...

RUSH: Let's move on here for a moment to the real problem that Obama has with Bill Ayers. Now, I am convinced that this is hitting. I am convinced it's sticking. The Obama campaign is getting nervous about it. The Drive-Bys are trying to cover for this. In fact, last night on DNCTV before the second presidential debate, Chris Matthews with the tingle up his leg when he discusses Obama was talking to David Axelrod, the chief Obama campaign strategerist. And Matthews said, "In the political life...

RUSH: This is Deborah in Topeka. Nice to have you. You're second today on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hello. How are you?RUSH: I'm fine.CALLER: Well, at this point, I wish I was running for office. I listened to that debate last night and there was nothing from either candidate. I was so mad at McCain on points. When Obama says we're going to raise taxes, 95% of you, we're going to do the wealthy and we're going to do Big Business. People, without Big Business in this country, we have...

RUSH: We start in West Frankfort, Illinois. Lanny, great to have you with us. You're up first.CALLER: Hey, Rush. Mega dittos.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: Yeah, I basically called to say once again that you are right. I was one of these conservatives that got on the Obama bandwagon there for a while, for a few months, and basically came to the realization that the guy -- you know I guess at first I thought, well, you know, we need some new blood in there, somebody that's not been around forever,...

RUSH: This series of post-debate comments of people on CNN is interesting, 'cause, you know, you look at the polls here today, it's very odd, I thought this was all over, I coulda sworn it was. Everybody keeps telling me it's over. You'd think Obama had a 15 to ten-point lead. But he doesn't. What's going on here frankly is the American people are, as I said yesterday, focusing on Obama, and they are not comfortable with him. They are not comfortable with his massive government approaches to...

RUSH: This business about "sacrifice" from Tom Brokaw of Jurassic Park last night, "Uh, Obama (grumbling) sacrifice. The American people, sacrifice." Why is it always the American people, in the eyes of the left, who have to sacrifice? How about the government sacrifice a little? Do you notice the government will never do with less? How about bureaucrats sacrificing a little bit? How about some politicians sacrifice by resigning, and letting other people take a whack at governing. Senator...

RUSH: What a sad state journalism must have to be in. We know it is, but it was on display last night, the sad state of journalism. You know it's bad when they have to drag Tom Brokaw out of Jurassic Park to moderate the debate. What happened to Brian Williams? What happened to Charlie Gibson? What happened to Katie Couric? Why go to Jurassic Park? Folks, I am sitting here, all I can do today is laugh. I've been having so much fun getting ready for today's show and I'm going to share it...

After the vapid "yes we can" slogan wore thin,the Messiah, Lord Barack Obama The Most Merciful, began running down America in earnest. In Germany, he apologized for the egregious errors of the United States and her people. We are racist-sexist-bigot-homophobes who torture-- not to mention melt the Arctic ice. Later, responding...

Story #1:Economic Slowdown May Give Earth a Breather RUSH: Reuters posted a story yesterday. "A slowdown in the world economy may give the planet a breather from the excessively high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions responsible for climate change, a Nobel Prize winning scientist said on Tuesday. Atmospheric scientist Paul J Crutzen, who has in the past floated the possibility of blitzing the stratosphere with sulfur particles to cool the earth, said clouds gathering over the world economy could...
