RUSH: Jay in Norfolk, Virginia. Hello, sir. Great to have you on the EIB Network.CALLER: Hey, Rush, how you doing?RUSH: Good.CALLER: My question is with the Chrysler and GM downfall going bankrupt --RUSH: Yes.CALLER: -- now they're dumping dealerships. Dealerships are independently owned. What purpose or sense would that make whether they sell one unit or a hundred units a month? I mean, they still employ people which they won't be after they're told they can't sell anymore.RUSH: See,...

RUSH: Okay, folks, time for a straw-man alert. It's a straw-man alert. Whenever Barack Obama gives an interview like he did with the BBC, it's straw man after straw man after straw man. For example... (By the way, Mr. Broadcast engineer, stand by, audio sound bite three, four, five, and blah, blah, blah, in order.) Here is an excerpt from the interview, a series of excerpts from the interview. And yes, Obama does find a way to apologize for America by saying he will close the mistake known as...

RUSH: Here's Timmy Geithner this afternoon on CNBC's Power Lunch. They played on CNBC a sound bite from senior economics reporter Steve Liesman and his interview with Tim Geithner, and Liesman said, "Treasury is issuing over time and not so much time trillions of dollars of debt. The Fed's buying $300 billion of Treasuries. Why is this not the dreaded concept of monetizing the debt which so many economists would warn against?"GEITHNER: There's no risk of that in the United States because, again,...

Here is a portion of his remarks this afternoon mere moments ago in Washington.LEAHY: It won't be in June. We'll decide when the hearing is going to be, but I'll tell you one thing that will motivate me to go sooner rather than later, when you have vicious attacks and leading Republicans call her the equivalent...

RUSH: CNBC has just reported that General Motors has sold its Hummer division to the ChiComs. So the Hummer will continue to be made. It just won't be made in the United States. The ChiComs are gonna make it. The question is: Will General Motors -- will Obama -- allow Hummers to be imported? Now, seriously, General Motors is going to be forced to make these little rattrap tinfoil cars, lawn mowers with seats. The guy who isn't running the company, he says, has mandated this. GM already makes...

RUSH: As you people know, I am an aviation buff. I'm fascinated by it. I'm also very distressed that Barack Obama is destroying private aviation. I mean, here is a guy who tells CEOs and others, "The days of getting on your private plane and going to Las Vegas for a good time? Those days are over." But his days of getting on three private planes and two helicopters to New York for a date are fine and dandy. I think the guy's a raging hypocrite and I think he has got some anger issues he's...

RUSH: This poll from USA Today and Gallup on closing Guantanamo Bay is interesting because it's part of a pattern. If you look at the polls of where the American people stand on approving or disapproving of various Obama policy initiatives, you find something very interesting. On practically every issue, a clear majority of Americans oppose Obama's policies, and yet his approval numbers remain 63 to 64%, yet they oppose or do not agree with his policy prescriptions for things. Now, what does...

RUSH: I have to tell you about a new video game, an Xbox video game, Xbox 360 is Microsoft as you know, and we have already linked to a trailer for this game. There is a Weekly Standard story by Tom Joscelyn explaining this new video game, we've linked to it at RushLimbaugh.com. But apparently a former detainee at Guantanamo, Moazzam Begg, has developed a game for the Xbox 360 in which a Guantanamo detainee will kill American soldiers to break out of Guantanamo. It is disgusting. Now, the manufacturer...

RUSH: A programming note. Tomorrow, Sean Hannity from Fox News is coming to the EIB Southern Command to videotape yet another interview. Now, the last time this happened, it created the media firestorm of the year where I repeated and explained my comment: "Yes, I want Obama to fail." So Hannity is coming back tomorrow, and I guess it's going to be a two-parter again like it was last time. I don't really know all the details, but I do want to make this observation. All of you Republicans who...

Story #1:Domestic Terrorism is Reprehensible -- Like Bill AyersRUSH: We all know about the murder of the abortion doctor. That's reprehensible but yesterday in Arkansas we had a militant Muslim take out some Army recruiters, military recruiters because he doesn't like the US military. I don't think any US Marshals have been posted to protect Army recruiters and military recruiters -- and we've been warned, of course, that, you know, this guy, this wacko, this Scott Roeder guy that murdered the...
