RUSH: The Republicans have finally discovered the word "fail." As you know it was I, El Rushbo, who was the pioneer on this, taking the arrows, publicly, proudly, happily proclaiming, "I hope he fails." He has failed in one sense. He's not failed the way I want him. I wanted him to fail to implement all this stuff. He has implemented it, and it isn't working as he says he wants it to work, therefore it's a failure, although I believe it is working exactly as he wants it to work: the more chaos,...

RUSH: Audio sound bite time. The Drive-Bys, State-Run Media, are very, very alarmed at Obama's plummeting poll numbers and very, very alarmed at any insinuation that Obama's not who he is. This is a clip from Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, on her MSNBC show. She's talking with Ron Insana, CNBC, she said, "When Meredith Vieira asked the president about pay and perks and whether the banks have forgotten or ignored the lessons of the past, the president agreed with her and said they need...

RUSH: We have a doctor from Jacksonville, Florida. Eric, thank you for holding on. You're up first. Hello.CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thank you for having me and definitely thank you for speaking for all the doctors out there. I think there's a lot of interest in what's been going on in Washington lately.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: I wanted to bring up a point. In order for a bill to be taken seriously by the American people, it has to contain some aspect of tort reform in it. I think the astronomical...

RUSH: I had a chance to listen a little bit of the president here, and he's lying again, folks. He says, "If you like your health insurance plan, you keep it." It's right there on page 16 of the House bill that you don't get to keep it. Obama also does not cover preexisting conditions. Remember his own story about some people, maybe it's not worth the money or the time if they're a hundred years old or whatever to treat 'em with a pacemaker? Just give 'em a pain pill! You know, give 'em a pain...

RUSH: President Obama, ladies and gentlemen, was scheduled to do a brief, it's not a news conference, that's tomorrow night. But it was a statement on health care at 12:15, basically 19 or 20 minutes ago. He still has not shown up at the podium, wherever this is going to happen. He uses a different room in the White House for every speech and there's clearly one reason why. He had to wait for his staff, or maybe he listened himself, to tell him what I said before going out and making comments....

RUSH: This is amazing. "As the watchdog of the government's massive bailout of the financial sector," TARP, "Neil Barofsky had a simple question: What had the nation's banks done with all their bailout money? Can't be answered, said the Treasury Department, because of the way banks move money internally. The department declined to put the question to the banks. And so Barofsky started asking financial institutions himself, getting answers from more than 300 that had received federal bailout money...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to temper your enthusiasm. Those of you who have heard that Henry Waxman pulled the health care bill from the Energy and Commerce markup today, this is a very, very dangerous time right now. What this means is that Nancy Pelosi has pulled the bill, the Energy and Commerce Committee Democrats are going up to the White House this afternoon to be lobbied by Obama. They're going to be working with the White House to make another run at health care. It is not...
