Do Your Show Prep: Everything Rush reads to prepare for the show.

Some of the topics we're loaded with today: Obama Says America "Lazy" || Mrs. Cain Speaks || More Violence, Rapes at Obama's Occupy Events

RUSH: She's not a journalist. She is a politician in training. That's what this means.

RUSH: For you in Memphis, if you're only hearing about the Memphis school supper story for the first time today, let me just tell you that your local media is not really reporting who's really behind this.

RUSH: This is a mainstream media guy asking the president of the United States: Do you think that these Republicans in a debate are "uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?"

Obama said this: "But we've been a bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades. We've kind of taken for granted: Well, people will want to come here; and we aren't out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new businesses into America."

RUSH: The regime is suggesting they would like a decision on the constitutionality of Obamacare next June.

RUSH: I don't believe that Scott Pelley has the slightest idea even now what happened to him during this little tete-a-tete.

RUSH: There's a giant elephant in the room here that everybody's dancing around, and they're using the words "sex scandal." It was a child abuse scandal is what this is. This is a pedophilia scandal. This is a child rape scandal by a guy, a football coach who was raping young boys. That's not a "sex scandal."

RUSH: The Democrats are under orders not to make a deal. They're convinced if they don't make a deal, the Republicans are gonna get blamed for it, and that's the objective.

RUSH: Gloria Steinem. She's in her seventies. She's making the rounds.

RUSH: Who is "we"? Once again, the president of the United States insults the people who make this country work.

RUSH: How pathetic is it that you gotta go to an old boyfriend to back up your assertion?

RUSH: I wonder if Clinton's gonna say (Clinton impression), "I'll tell you boys what you need to do. You need to find Ross Perot or somebody like him and have him run as a third party 'cause that's what really helped me out..."

RUSH: As far as if the dirt exists and the Republicans haven't used it, they're not... They haven't chimed in on the Herman Cain thing, either. That's all a media thing. The Republicans are not into self-immolation right now.

RUSH: Back in the nineties, we here at the EIB Network came up with our own foreign policy position, and that is we have two lists: the Excrement List and the Good List.

CALLER: I started reading the Steve Jobs biography after you represented it, and he was, you know, a little paranoid about keeping a closed system on everything and being all locked down.  Do you think they'll open the gates a little bit now?
