RUSH: This is an anniversary, and I want to take you back three years ago, February 17th, 2009.  Barack Obama had been in office barely a month... and he announced the stimulus.

RUSH: It's funny what offends the liberal media. Bill Clinton abusing and ruining the life of an intern. JFK, ditto. It's admirable. That's behavior they want to emulate. But an aspirin joke, boy, look how that offends them.

RUSH: He's making our point, ladies and gentlemen.  You and I are scratching our heads and wondering why in the course of the payroll tax cut debate Republicans are not pointing out, "Hey, Obama's underfunding Social Security."
