NAGs Advise "Mental Health Breaks" When Listening to Us... Lights Could Go Out Across UK by 2030... CNN: Why Obama Can't Match the Reagan Recovery... Start-ups at All-Time Low...

Under the Obama Regime, the rate of new business start-ups fell in 2010 to the lowest point on record.

RUSH: Barack Obama has decided that the only way to lower the unemployment rate is to kill off jobs.  The unemployment rate went down one-tenth of a percent from 8.2% to 8.1%, but the number of people who left the labor force is at an all-time high.

RUSH: Snerdley just asked me an interesting question... Even if you are Barack Obama, don't you care a little about your legacy?  Don't you want some improvement somewhere in real life, not just a rate drop from 8.2% to 8.1%? Don't you want something that's gonna add to your legacy, make you look good to the historians?

RUSH: We have some Elizabeth Warren news, and we are going to go back to the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites and pick out a tune as our Elizabeth Warren Update Theme. Picture Cher as an Indian squaw on horseback...

RUSH: You're wondering, "Why is it just Cheney?  Where are the Bushes?  Where's 41? Where's 43? Clearly, they don't want the country to go the direction Obama's taking it.  Are they just gonna sit by and be quiet and let it happen?"  I wish I had an answer for you.

CALLER: Since Obama has taken office, I've had to take a pay cut in order to keep my job, and my employer -- who is a small business owner -- has already told us that they are going to have to dissolve the business. So I'm going to be unemployed, the unemployment rate is gonna go higher, and another small business is gone.

RUSH: The Tea Party has moved on from being a protest movement, and they are now a full-fledged political movement in every state working to get their candidates elected.  And they are succeeding on the classic, Civics 101 basis: with ideas.

RUSH: It's a game now that's under attack...There are well-intentioned liberals that think it's too risky and too dangerous, and they're going to try to change it, I guarantee you.  And the liberal sports media doesn't realize it, but they're helping pave the way for it by the way they're covering all this.

RUSH: Open Line Friday is where you get to choose what it is we talk about when we go to the phones.  You don't have to talk about things I care about.  It can be anything.  If I don't care about it, I'll fake it (in honor of the NAGs).
