I just wanted to be one of the many, I'm sure, to recognize that today is Pearl Harbor Day. It was the second worst attack on US soil, and I haven't heard a whole lot mentioned about it in the news. I certainly haven't heard Obama say much about it, but --RUSH: Well, it's -- I think it's appropriately fitting that the...

RUSH: I got an idea. You know what would be a nice gesture? I mean here we are in the midst of recession. I don't care, all this talk about, well, you know, we've got got 10% unemployment, the best unemployment news we've had since 2007. How about this.

Start it right now, in time for the holidays. What a small, yet wonderful...

Reporter said, "If unused TARP money goes for job creation --" and that's what Obama's talking about, and remember, most of the banks were forced to take bank bailout money, remember?

RUSH: Let's move on now to some interesting sound bites over the timeline withdrawal from Afghanistan, shall we? Let's go back, last Tuesday night in West Point -- did you realize, by the way, that the cadets were required to be in their seats for three hours before Obama's speech began for security reasons? Three hours they had to sit there before his remarks on Afghanistan began. At any rate, here's what he said about getting out in 2011.OBAMA: These additional American and international troops...

RUSH: I'm not gonna talk about it. I know every talking head, every pundit, every sportswriter wants to talk about it, but they don't have the guts to talk about it, and they're waiting on me to bring it up so they can then rip me for talking about it while they then get their opinion in. I'm not talking about it. The only thing I'm going to say is I find it hilarious that the first identified mistress of Tiger Woods is fuming that he had others. She wasn't upset that he was married. She was...

RUSH: To the Global Warming Stack. This is from Vanity Fair online: "In his almost 30 years of crusading against global warming, Al Gore has worn a variety of hats. In roughly chronological order these include: congressman, senator, author, vice president, traveling evangelist, filmmaker, investment adviser, and Nobel Peace Prize winner," and dunce.

The Republican strategy in the Senate -- and here's Jon Kyl: "In response to the question, 'What's your strategy to the extent that you can share it?'" Kyl said, (paraphrasing) "Actually, I think we can be fairly up...

RUSH: Now, we've known this was going to happen. We've known it was going to happen. It has happened, or it's on the verge of happening today. The EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency, has concluded greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, are endangering people's health and must be regulated, signaling that the Obama administration is prepared to contain global warming without congressional action if necessary.
