RUSH: Obama is out in Green Bay today, and he's doing a town hall meeting on socialized medicine, government health care. The reason he's out there doing this is because the polling on this is not looking good.

RUSH: Get this. This just cleared The Politico wire. "FBI agents visited the offices of the conservative Weekly Standard magazine yesterday after a shooting at the Holocaust Memorial Museum and told employees they'd found the magazine's address." The Weekly Standard, a conservative magazine, may have been one of the shooter's targets. You know why? Because the Weekly Standard is edited by "neocons," Jewish people who are big on US foreign policy and defense of Israel. Leftist-type conspiracy...

RUSH: I want to get this out of the way. It's not related to anything specifically we've talked about today. It's about General Powell.
