RUSH: By the way, I'm now persona non grata, or should be. I should be persona non grata in the Republican Party. Morton Kondracke has instructed the Republican Party to fire me. We go to Saturday night's Beltway Boys on the Fox News Channel. Mort Kondracke and Fred Barnes have this exchange.BARNES: I read that excellent column of yours in Roll Call about what Republicans need to do, and except for the vicious attack on Rush Limbaugh, it made a lot of sense, particularly that Republicans --...

CALLER: What about the interest...

RUSH: You know, they're always saying -- the Drive-Bys, the Democrats are always saying -- that we conservatives are the hypocrites, like on moral values, family values. But the talk here from Obama in his economic meeting today and over the weekend from his team about all these new green cars and alternative energy that he's going to demand that Detroit make and that we buy? He is going to exempt himself from his open restrictions with his limousine. I have some comments on this.BREAK TRANSCRIPTThis...

RUSH: Now, here's Greg Burns at the Chicago Tribune today: "General Motors assembly plant making Yukons, Tahoes and Escalades has put its workers on overtime. And dealers from Texas to Montana report that the big vehicles clogging up their lots for months like so much radioactive waste have started moving again, albeit at slashed prices." So people are buying SUVs with the price going down. What does this mean? There are some certain things about the American and his car that we know. Americans...

RUSH: Austan Goolsbee was the economic advisor for Barack Obama during the campaign. He was on Slay the Nation with Bob Schieffer and we've got two bites of this. Bob Schieffer said, "Obama's talking about tax cuts, building roads and bridges. Some people are saying that it may have to be something in the neighborhood. Schumer this morning said it may be the neighborhood of five, six, $700 billion. Is that the sort of thing, the scope that we're talking here?" GOOLSBEE: This is as big of an...

RUSH: Okay, Obama and his big announcement today with his economic team. He did not announce any kind of real economic program. He said that you are in a lot of pain, and he knows it. That's supposed to make you feel good, and as best I can tell, he repeated essentially his campaign agenda for the economy. The unions, the environmentalists, and the government will own the auto industry. They are going to run it. That's my guess here. Let me say something controversial. I was talking to Snerdley...

RUSH: Let's take this statement of Obama's, this little excerpt that we had from his radio address on Saturday: "We'll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges." There's a little bit of a problem with that. Guess what's happening? We've had stories of this throughout the past couple of years. The gasoline price is now less than half what it was this summer, and you know what that means. People are driving less even despite the fact that the price has come down. Gasoline...
