RUSH: I want to take you back to July 23rd of this year. I was on Greta Van Susteren's show On the Record on Fox News Channel, and in light of a headline that's out there today, the AP, Tom Raum, the State-Controlled reporter for AP: "Higher Jobless Rates Could Be the New Normal." That's right. The new norms are all over the place, and they're horrible, and they're rotten, and we have to accept these high jobless rates could be the new normal.

RUSH: Obama's out there playing a daisy game. He's having a meeting right now with Nouri al-Maliki, the prime minister of Iraq, and Obama's leftists are not going to be happy with what they heard Obama say. He reiterated to al-Maliki our commitment to Iraq. Now, while this is going on, Obama is playing a daisy game with Afghanistan. More troops... You know, you pick there "He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me..." You do it with a piece of clover or a daisy. You pick the petals off, sort...

RUSH: All right, here's installment two of the CNN stalker, Carol Costello. She's the beat reporter assigned to me. A portion of her report on "Anger on the Air."STALKER: President Obama said this back in January: "You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done."

Influential, sure. But powerful?...

RUSH: Neil, Charlotte, North Carolina. Welcome, sir. Glad you waited. You're on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hey, Rush, I heard you talking a while ago about never hearing about a pay czar, and I hadn't either until I was talking to my father-in-law, and he told me about a man named Leon Henderson back in FDR's time. An executive order by FDR created what was called the Office of Price Administration. Leon Henderson, my father-in-law's friend, became the head of that division of the OPA...

RUSH: Here's Harry Reid yesterday afternoon on the Senate floor.REID: Republicans will do everything in their power to stop reform this time because for many on the other side there will never be a good time to reform health insurance. As former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole said a few days ago, and I quote, "Sometimes people fight you just to fight you," end quote. That might be true but it won't be tolerated. Congress will not be sidetracked by those who devise strategies only to trip up...

RUSH: "An environmental writer mainstreams an idea floating around the green fringe -- save the earth by population control and give carbon credits to one-child families. Are we threatened by the patter of little carbon footprints? It's long been a mantra on the left that people are a plague on the earth, ravaging its surface for food and resources, polluting its atmosphere and endangering its species. Now we are endangering its very climate to the point of extinction. Even the result of our breathing...

RUSH: From TIME Magazine: "The White House Readies a Stealth Stimulus -- White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett was adamant on Sunday, when asked if President Obama was considering a so-called second stimulus to deal with the rising unemployment rate. 'I think it's too soon. It's premature to say, "Is a second stimulus needed?"' she told David Gregory, the host of NBC's Meet the Press. But a moment later she said the White House was already looking at tax credits and other measures to further...

RUSH: Do you remember the story yesterday we had about how Reuters, CNN, the Washington Post, and New York Times fell for a hoax? Yesterday we thought that it was just an e-mail hoax that they fell for. The hoax was perpetrated by some group that as a practice perpetrates hoaxes on the media. (interruption) Is that the name of the group? Yes Men. And they sent an e-mail out claiming that they were the Chamber of Commerce, that they had done a 180 and Chamber of Commerce was now ready to join...

RUSH: Now, this next story is equally as infuriating as the AP story. It sounds complicated but it's really not. Let me see if I can once again (as I always do) make the complex understandable here. Here's the headline from the Washington Times: "Justice Department Concludes that Black Voters Need the Democrat Party." The story is from North Carolina, a little town called Kinston. "Voters in this small city decided overwhelmingly last year..." By the way Kinston is two-thirds black. Keep that...
