BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: There's a blog out there called mediabistro.com, TVNewser and so forth, and the TV people read it religiously.  I mean not too many other members of the public do, but it's big in the TV business.  They have a show on there; it's a web radio show.  Oh, by the way, the Wall Street Journal did publish my op-ed today.  We linked to it at RushLimbaugh.com or you can go to the Wall Street Journal opinion page and see it yourself.  Terry Moran of ABC's Nightline was the guest.  This is what he said about President Obama.

MORAN:  In some ways, Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office, I mean from visionary leader of a giant movement, now he's got an executive position that he has to perform in, in a way, and I think the coverage reflects that.

RUSH:  Whoa-ho-ho.  Yes, you heard right, a step down for Lord Barack Obama, the Most Merciful.  He was leading this giant movement, a la George Washington.  Now he's had to take a step down.  What did I tell you people?  He's too big to fail.  Listen to this one more time.  This is one of the anchors of ABC's Nightline.  

MORAN:  In some ways, Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office, I mean from visionary leader of a giant movement, now he's got an executive position that he has to perform in, in a way, and I think the coverage reflects that.

Yes, it does indeed.  The press coverage of Obama certainly does reflect this step down to go to the Oval Office.  I guess we can assume from this that Obama has made a mistake and that he would have been better served to stay as this leader outside Washington, this massive, giant movement rather than pin himself down with an executive position.
