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

Some of the topics we're loaded with today: Canada Ups Retirement Age in Bid to Balance Budget || Rep. Paul Ryan Endorses Mitt Romney || The Obama Women Are in Vegas || Justices Meet Friday to Vote On Health Care Case || Bigfoot Sleuth Stomped for Leading Tour on Federal Lands Without Permit || Obama's Policies to Blame for Weak Recovery

While the Obama Regime and their media subsidiaries portray a “rosy” economy, the very symbol of the Democrat Party is providing a more honest forecast.

RUSH:  Michelle (My Belle) Obama and the kids are in Vegas on a vacation.  Not exactly a family oriented place in my mind, but to each his own.  That's the place Obama told everybody not to go anymore, remember that?  In his first month in office he said the days of getting on your private plane and going to Vegas are over.  I guess they're back.

RUSH: The theory that seems to be the popular one relies on nothing having to do with the law.  Nothing.  It has to do with positioning the court reputation, not causing riots in the streets at the end of the day when the decision is announced.

RUSH: Their world is it. There is nothing else. And they're not even curious about what else there is.

RUSH: This is a woman who taught law at Harvard.  She was the dean of Harvard Law.  Which means she's smarter than anybody else.  She's smarter than the dean of law at Columbia and she's smarter than the dean at Stanford.  She's just as smart as the dean over there at Oxford.  There's nobody smarter.  When you're the dean of Harvard Law, you're it.  And she has no clue.

RUSH: Biden said it: global minimum tax in an election year.

RUSH: More and more people ask me, "Why did the press get constitutional protection?  Why is there freedom of the press?  What were the founders thinking?" Read Levin's book, Ameritopia. It's the best historical explanation for how the founders decided and were influenced.

RUSH: Marvin Odum has taken Charlie Rose to school.  The only problem is Charlie wasn't in class.  He would flunk the test.  Charlie didn't hear a word the Shell CEO said.

RUSH: I'm gonna have to think about this. I may have to actually sit down and peck this out at my computer keyboard to flesh it out.

RUSH: The news media are always the last to know when it comes to the Supreme Court, and they can't stand it.

RUSH: We're all Americans, how can they have a different history?

RUSH: Don't anybody misunderstand me here.  I am not suggesting that slave labor's fine, that atrocities are fine or poor working conditions are fine, but it's different in China.  These are human beings.  They live and have to deal with their own set of circumstances, and not every country's the United States.

RUSH: My friend's heart and mind are the biggest and most generous you'll ever find, and he's totally, totally immersed in saving the country.
