Mark Belling of News/Talk 1130 WISN-AM in Milwaukee filled in for Rush on Monday. Rush Returns to the Golden EIB Microphone a week from today.

"Obama didn't accomplish anything in Russia. He thinks the way to deal with a dangerous world is being reasonable, having meetings, and looking some of the most savage people on earth in the eye. It's a prescription for failure." -Mark Belling

• Guardian: Obama and Medvedev Offer to Cut Nuclear Arsenals

"The way to deal with the world that we live in is to have its respect and the fear of it.  President Bush managed to keep a lid on a terribly difficult world: the world of 9/11, Al Qaeda, nuclear expansion in Iran, and North Korea.  He did so by letting the rest of the world know you can't mess with the United States." -Mark Belling  

• WP: Robert McNamara, Architect of Vietnam War, Dies at 93 

"Here we are with the Democrats trying to talk arms control with the Russians.  This is the same thing that happened with Robert McNamara.  It's back to the future only back to the past." -Mark Belling 

• WT: Biden: White House ''Misread'' Economy

"We're going to get nothing but 'misreadings' for the next four years." -Mark Belling

• WSJ: Honduras at the Tipping Point

"This is going to be nothing but trouble for the United States if a communist -- and that's what Chavez is -- essentially becomes the emperor of Central and South America." -Mark Belling

• AP: Venezuela Assumes Control of Spanish-Owned Bank

"The people of Honduras don't want this.  That's why the military acted.  We need to stand on the side of democracy and freedom.  Unfortunately, we have a president whose knee-jerk reaction is: When there's trouble in a country, support the tyrants. I wonder why he feels such a kinship with every global dictator."

• AP: Palin Takes to Web for Hints of Political Future

"I observe liberal behavior as a profession and I have never seen a public figure in contemporary American history savaged and brutalized the way Sarah Palin has been. It started the moment she appeared on the national scene and it continues today." -Mark Belling

• AT: Sarah Palin: The Best is Yet to Come

"If you're a Republican running for office anywhere in this country and you want to raise money, the person you're going to be on the phone with begging to come is Sarah Palin." -Mark Belling
