RUSH: This morning, CNN, they have a beat reporter on me. Her name is Carol Costello. I'm her beat. Coanchor Kiran Chetry, introduction to... Wait a minute. This is not about Green Bay. This is about the Last Man Standing. This is about I want Obama to fail. I don't want Obama to fail; I want the country to succeed! I want Obama's policies to fail. But Obama's failure to implement his policies is good news, the best news possible for this country. That's all I'm saying. Okay, you want...

RUSH: I promised wall-to-wall sound bites, so let me go to one we haven't played. This is former Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h during a House Democrat Steering and Policy committee meeting back on January 7th. This I said on Hannity's show last night, second part of the interview tonight, nine o'clock eastern, Fox News Channel. The racism in this country, the looking at people as members of groups and assigning them as such exists solely on the left. Listen to this.REICH:...

RUSH: This is FoxNews.com: "Family members of people killed on September 11, 2001, and in other terror attacks say they are outraged by President Obama's draft order calling for the suspension of war crimes trials of prisoners being held at Guantanamo Bay. 'To me it's beyond comprehension that they would take the side of the terrorists,' said Peter Gadiel, whose son, James, was killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11. 'Many of these people have been released and been right back killing, right back...

RUSH: Mary in Temecula, California, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Good morning, Rush. Executive order by Obama to close Gitmo is so offensive to me as an American citizen. After only two days in office, his top priority was to extend the rights of terrorists. (sigh)RUSH: Are you surprised?CALLER: (giggles) No. I'm not. But...RUSH: I mean, we knew this was coming. Elections have consequences.CALLER: Yes, they do. But, during the campaign, he campaigned on my rights...

RUSH: An amazing story here today in The Politico. This was written by John Harris and Jim VandeHei, and they are the founders of The Politico. They used to work at the Washington Post. Get this, now -- and, by the way, I like The Politico, and I know who they are. They're unabashed about who they are and what they are and I've talked to these guys on the phone and they're nice guys. I've gotten along with them fairly well. But this still just kind of blows my mind. It shouldn't anymore,...

RUSH: You wouldn't believe the audio sound bites I got out of Green Bay today. It wasn't just Green Bay. I mean, it made other networks. It made Fox. You know, it was all over the place. Here I'm just minding my own business. You know, I'm the last guy to blame for what happened up there. I don't have access to the school's PA system. I don't have access to the local radio station. They chose to carry our feed, which I am eternally grateful for. I love my affiliates. I love every one of...

RUSH: Now, here's audio sound bites. This is Obama. He has to ask Greg Craig, the White House counsel, for help here, signing the closing of Gitmo executive order.OBAMA: (chiseling in marble sound effect) In order to effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo, uh, and promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and interests of...

RUSH: So basically what we had today in terms of the FOIA request on presidential records executive orders, we basically had an executive order to the media, "Okay, get in gear! Start demanding stuff. Our attorney general will let you have whatever you want on the Bush administration and go to town -- and I'm out of it. You guys can handle it." That was the message today. Of course, the same thing goes to fellow Democrats, the radical ones (which is most of them) up on Capitol Hill. Now, ladies...

RUSH: Great pomp and circumstance, a lot of fanfare today at the White House as President Obama signed four executive orders. One of them is a presidential records executive order, the FOIA request. Turns out that my suspicions yesterday were right. Details coming up. He also signed an executive order shutting Club Gitmo in one year. This was not a security decision, by the way. There's no way this is a security decision. This is the steady deconstruction of the Bush internal security program....

Story #1:More Watched Reagan's Inaugural Than Obama'sRUSH: Well, for all the talk about the popularity of Obama's inauguration, more people watched American Idol than watched his inauguration, and millions more watched Ronald Reagan's inauguration. So again, Reagan wins a landslide -- many more millions watch -- and yet the era of Reagan is over, we're told, and that Obama's inauguration set all kinds of records.
