RUSH: Remember last week I told you how Harry Reid was going to pull a trick on everybody to get the Senate health care bill actually over to the House for conference committee by attaching a merged bill. Two Senate bills -- there's the Harkin committee bill, and there's the Baucus committee bill -- and he's going to take the best parts that he likes, gonna merge them into one bill, and attach them to some other bill that the House has already passed, sent over to the Senate that they haven't acted...

RUSH: On Monday, on PMSNBC, Chris Van Hollen, Democrat, Maryland, member of Congress, I think he's in charge of the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee right now, they're still upset over my fun day last Friday celebrating Obama's dismal failure in Copenhagen to secure the Olympics for the crime-ridden Chicago. By the way, you think the IOC didn't see that video of the kid getting killed in Chicago? Eric Holder talked about it, it shocked the nation. It shocked Copenhagen, too. At any...

RUSH: I meant to play this audio sound bite yesterday. I didn't get it in time. It's nobody's fault. We were just busy. I have it now. This is 2000 in Iowa at the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. It's an event there. It's audio of Obama's "safe schools" czar, Kevin Jennings. This is the guy that a 15-year-old kid approached him, "I'm having a problem. An older man is forcing his way on me with sex and so forth," and Jennings said, "That's fine. Are you using a condom?" and urged...

RUSH: Nashville, Tennessee, this is Tim. I'm glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hey! How are you doing?RUSH: Very well, sir, thank you.CALLER: All right. My wife had a hard time trying to understand why Obama's plan to "spread the wealth" was unfair. She couldn't see (sigh), you know, what was wrong with taking from those who have and giving to those who don't have so what I did was I simplified it for her. She's a woman that prides herself on education. She's working...

RUSH: Yesterday I told you about three Drive-By columnists. Let's see, one was Richard Cohen, one was Roger Simon of Politico and Bob Herbert, New York Times, all writing pieces, "Does Obama got a backbone?" "Is Obama prepared to lead?" "Is Obama ready for all this?" And I said this to Bob Herbert.RUSH ARCHIVE: Poor Bob, so deluded. Bob, let me answer this for you, please, honestly now, Bob, he does get it, Obama gets it. I don't think Obama cares. This is all part of the design, Bob. Why...

RUSH: Rodney in Kingsport, Tennessee. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hello. How are you? RUSH: Good.CALLER: I'm a pediatrician in northeast Tennessee --RUSH: A-ha! You're one of these guys that does unnecessary tonsillectomies to pad your back pocket. I heard Obama talk about guys like you.CALLER: Yeah. I've done none of those in 30 years.RUSH: Oh, then you must amputating feet under the guise of being a pediatrician.CALLER: No, no, no.RUSH: Because Obama told me about...

RUSH: Now, this was posted yesterday at ClickOnDetroit.com. It's the website for Channel 4, Eyeball News in Detroit. "Detroit's homeless and low-income residents have another opportunity for a chance at millions of stimulus dollars. The money is available to help low-income residents from becoming homeless and homeless residents to find housing." Seems to me this would include almost all of Detroit now. Now, let me read this to you again, though. "Stimulus money..." You remember, stimulus dollars,...

RUSH: Hey, folks, did you know that youth gang violence is a problem in America? Did you know that? Yeah. They just had a string of bad incidents up there in Obamaland in Chicago where he and his community organizer buddies supposedly -- and, by the way, the City of Chicago is in debt like it never has been, and they're in trouble. It's a huge, huge problem. Chicago is just a mess. It's run by Obama and his buddies and cronies. They've got this youth violence problem up there. And remember...

RUSH: I have not commented on this on this program, even though the news has been out there since Monday. I had to confirm it when I was asked about it. It was reported Sunday on the CBS NFL Pregame Show by Charley Casserly that I am part of a group with Dave Checketts that has put in a bid on the St. Louis Rams, and that's all I can say. That's true. But Goldman Sachs is handling the sale. There's a confidentiality clause. None of the bidders can disclose anything, can't talk to anybody. We...

RUSH: Oh, man, folks. Get this. When you were a kid in the park, the playground, and somebody said something that ticked some kid off, the other kids would say, "Hey, it's a free country, it's a free country, I can say whatever I want. Back off. Lighten up." I doubt kids say that to each other anymore. "Hey, it's a free country." I have a story here from the San Francisco Chronicle: "'Michael Jordan Caught Smoking' -- San Francisco is asking basketball superstar Michael Jordan to snuff out...

RUSH: Get this, from State-Controlled Associated Press: "Al Qaeda's role in Afghanistan has faded after eight years of war. Gone is the once-formidable network of camps and safe houses where Osama bin Laden and his mostly Arab operatives trained thousands of young Muslims to wage a global jihad. The group is left with fewer than 100 core fighters, according to the Obama administration." Wait a second, none of this makes any sense. Why don't we just declare victory and get the hell out of there...
