RUSH: Tina in Chicago, it's great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hey, Rush. I'm glad to talk to you again today. I'm from Chicago, Barack Obama land, and what I'm thinking is maybe we should add toll roads all over the United States. We can charge a bunch of for it because we do that here in Chicago, and we can pay for all the accident-related health care, all the uninsured people -- you know, anyone that's involved in an accident, and those types of things. Because, you know,...

RUSH: The EPA put out a memo. It's an Obama administration memo. This memo admits that CO2 is not a pollutant. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. This memo alludes to the fact that there is no proof. Somebody in the Obama administration really goofed up. Now, you haven't heard about this, you had to have seen C-SPAN to know about this, but this memo is out there that CO2 is not a pollutant, that there's no evidence that CO2 is leading to the warming of the planet. There is a memo that pretty...

RUSH: You know who Obama is really hard on? I'll tell you who Obama's destroying. The people who have made it, the people who have achieved their success, that's one group of people. And they're being targeted, there's no question. A lot of them, they're paranoid, they think it's all going to be taken away, and they think that a lot of it will be. But at least they've made it. There are a whole host of Americans who are never going to have the chance to make it. And that's what rips me apart....

RUSH: You've got a mix of incompetence and radicalism that is posing a huge threat to the future of the country. There's no question about it whatsoever. "What do you mean, incompetence, Rush?" Well, the New York Times has the truth today -- and, by the way, it really would be a mistake to say it's incompetence. This was the way the plan was written. "Nearly three months after President Obama approved the $787 billion [Porkulus] package intended to create or save jobs," and, by the way, that...

RUSH: I mentioned before the break at the top of the hour that the Obama administration, via the Food and Drug Administration, has scolded General Mills, the makers of Cheerios, "about the way they promote the cereal’s health benefits. The FDA sent a letter of warning to General Mills accusing them of making unauthorized health claims. Current boxes of Cheerios are touting what the company calls exciting news -- the cereal's ability to help lower cholesterol 10 percent in one month. 'My mother...

RUSH: All of a sudden, ladies and gentlemen, there is some hesitation at the White House on releasing these abuse photos, these torture photos, these interrogation photos. As you know, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered the photos released. All the Obama people would have to do is appeal it to the Supreme Court. Punt it down, kick it down the road for a year or two, half a year or whatever. But they've made this big noise: "We want to release the pictures! We want to get the pictures...

RUSH: "Health Care, a Lesson in Pain." I made this prediction to you yesterday. This is the New York Times. The author here, David Leonhardt. Apparently they're struggling out there to find $90 billion a year to make Bam's health care overhaul happen. Despite the fact that the industry bigwigs have promised $2 trillion in cost cuts that will never happen, by the way, over the next ten years, they somehow still need to find $90 billion. "Democrats have suggested that they are willing to play...

RUSH: Let's go back to this program, an audio sound bite of me November 12th of last year.RUSH ARCHIVE: It isn't going to be along before Big Media asks for a bailout. TIME Magazine today is asking for volunteers to take a pay cut. (laughing) Isn't that just fabulous? TIME Magazine asking for volunteers first to take a pay cut. And what happens if nobody volunteers? (laughing) Which liberal journalist will be first? (laughing) They are into sacrifice; they've been wanting us to sacrifice...

Story #1:Rasmussen: Congress Dead Last in Voter TrustRUSH: Interesting little Rasmussen Reports poll here: "Congress Comes In Dead Last In Voter Trust -- When all voters are asked which branch of the federal government they trust the most, 34% say the Supreme Court, while 27% choose the president." Now, that doesn't make sense, given the Bamster's numbers in the sixties, but it is what it is.
