RUSH: I have some questions. You know, Pelosi, Reid, that crowd, they sent the auto execs home yesterday and they said, "You come back with a plan. We don't have the votes and you're not going to make us look bad. It sends a bad signal to the American people. We don't have the votes. So you come back with a plan. You tell us what you want for the $25 billion." Okay, I have some questions for the people like Pelosi and Reid and these other liberal hacks, just tough questions for you to ponder....

RUSH: Here's David in Scottsdale. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.CALLER: Rush. Longtime listener since the eighties.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: I'd like to give you my thoughts on why so many Clinton people are in there. I think the Clintons were experts at co-opting what was happening in the private sector during the nineties. They co-opted the Internet revolution, the computer chip, the processing, and the way we did business and took it as their own, so now what Obama is...

RUSH: Now, I was under the impression, because I listened to Senator Obama during the campaign, that he's only going to raise taxes on the rich, 'cause they've got it. They don't need it. They have more than they need. They can afford it. So he needs to raise taxes on the rich and cut taxes on the, quote, unquote, "middle class." So he wants economic recovery to bubble up from the bottom or whatever, which is very tough to do when you're at the bottom and you're broke. I don't know how you bubble...

When I found out that the majority of Catholics voted for Obama I've had trouble as a Catholic attending church without some animosity toward my fellow parishioners. And I was wondering if you had any advice...

RUSH: Do you remember, H.R. -- I think it was during this recent campaign -- that one day I referred to the Democrats and said, "They looked like morticians"? Or maybe it was Daschle, that I said Daschle looked like a mortician. Harry Reid, somebody, they looked like morticians. Is anything more accurate today than that? The entire Democrat Party looks like morticians. I mean, we've got the Obama Funeral Home. It's called the United States of America, the Obama Funeral Home. Where is Obama?...

RUSH: If you're just joining us on Rush Limbaugh and Open Line Friday, ladies and gentlemen, you should know that all of a sudden now the Barack Obama transition team is trying to lower everybody's expectations. David Axelrod (who ran the campaign) and Robert B. Reich are out there saying, "Look, we're encountering problems worse than perhaps at any time in American history since FDR." My reaction is, "Well, you're telling us he is FDR! You're telling us he's Lincoln. You're telling us he's JFK....

RUSH: By the way, folks, bad news here. The propaganda markets are being hit hard as well as the stock markets. AP-Obama has said that it will lay off 10% of its workforce starting in 2009. So not even the propaganda markets are safe from the economic downturn. The Obama reelection committee suffered a setback when it learned that the AP-Obama would be laying off 10% of its propagandists. Propaganda is in the throes of a bear market. Massive media layoffs, and now the AP-Obama following suit...

RUSH: The Reverend Sharpton, ladies and gentlemen, was on the O'Reilly Factor last night; and the Reverend Sharpton was asked about the latest Al-Qaeda video referring to Barack Obama as a "house negro," and they asked the Reverend Sharpton what he thought about this.SHARPTON: To now come at this point and try and define, that they are going to be the decider of who are the heroic blacks and to use such a derogatory, racist term against the president; I think it is an insult and something that...
