Rachel Maddow Highlights Mitt Romney Lying About His Lies That Obama Made Economy Worse

[Skyhawk02]

of course Obama has lied about things he said too so they are both equally bad in my book.

[juggalo309]

Romney sucks just as bad as obama!!!! Ron paul 2012!!!!

[fonseca71]

"I didn't say things were worst" Did he mean the economy? Did someone ask him if he was talking about the economy specifically? If not, then what the hell did Rachel prove?! This chick is beyond stupid! And please don't argue my point of what Republican presidents have done in the past, that's not what I'm debating. "Oh, oh, well look what Bush did." Give me a break! Bush sucked! Obama doesn't suck as bad. Whatever!

[incitebytes]

@fonseca71, You: "Did he [Romney] mean the economy?" Did you watch the video? Do you have ADHD or a closed head injury? The questioner begins (at 0:11): "You continue to say the ECONOMY is worse..." and then cites aspects of the ECONOMY ("unemployment," "stock market" and "growing slowly") to which Romney replies, "I didn't say things are worse. What I said was that the ECONOMY hasn't turned around." And you don't know if he was talking about the ECONOMY? And you think SHE'S stupid? Lol.

[CygnusTheIronDream]

No more lies. Ron Paul 2012!

[fonseca71]

He did make it worst! How has the economy gotten better? We have more debt. So if the number of self employed goes up and the number of unemployment goes down, is that good or bad? Rachel Meadow is moron!

[incitebytes]

@fonseca71, You're the ignoramus. Facts: The economy was losing 750,00 jobs/mo. when GWB handed the economy to Obama. You think Obama should've waved a magic wand and made 8 yrs of GWB deficit-busting tax cuts, 2 wars and a Medicare Part D benefit disappear overnight (you must've believed Limbaugh when he sang, "Barack The Magic Negro"). We've had 22 straight months of private job growth (+3.2 Million jobs, per 1/6/12 Miami Herald article). Pull your head out of your ass (if you can find it).

[fonseca71]

@incitebytes I'd say you're a retard, but then that might be insulting retards. Ok, you say the economy is better, yet we're have double the debt that Bush had when he left office. Hmmm, sounds like a better economy to you? Ohh, the jobs, right the jobs, that'll probably be your response. So a good strategic plan to you is to spend trillions, and create thousands of jobs?! You didn't do to well in Monopoly as kid did you? Obama's done well on terror, not on economy, stupid!!

[incitebytes]

@CygnusTheIronDream, I love you smug little pricks who "know" things because they heard someone else say it. Per you, Ronald Reagan had near worst economy of all time (3X NATIONAL DEBT, dummy, = poster boy poster for deficit spending). Day Obama took office (thanks, GWB): bleeding -750k job/mo. + hundreds of billions in lost tax revs. Now: Stock market up 60%, corp. profits way up. CBO says approx. 3 mil. jobs saved + 3.2 mil. new private sect. jobs added last 22 months. Not enough, but better.

[paulnupe1911]

It's great when you CATCH MITT ROMNRY IN A LIE!

[afotia1020]

Wait a minute..... we are commenting on something this moron said? She is Irrelavant. Who even posted this crap? God.

[dukearuke78]

She stole Keith Olbermans throw paper to ground Move! haha

[paulnupe1911]

I like how she caught him in LIE, MIT ROMNEY IS A LIAR AND A FAKE CANDIDATE. HE WANTS TO PUT MORMONISM INTO THE US CONSTITUTION. BEWARE AND BE VERY AFRAID OF THIS CANDIDATE.

[incitebytes]

@paulnupe1911, What has Mitt Romney ever said or done that makes you think that "HE WANTS TO PUT MORMONISM INTO THE US CONSITUTION." Please, be specific and cite your sources. I'll be waiting.

[afotia1020]

@paulnupe1911 I'd be much more afraid of Sharia Law with the current administration than Mormonism. I suppose JFK introduced Catholicism also. Jerkoff.... we are not at war with extremist Mormons.

[ROlshansky1]

He said Obama made the recession worse; he never said the economy is currently worse than in 2009.

[incitebytes]

@ROlshansky1, Ignoring the fact that in the popular vernacular most people use the term recession/economy interchangeably in recessionary times, it's also objectively true that Obama did not make the recession worse than what it was when he took office. What I believe Romney was trying to inarticulately say was that Obama made the recession worse than it would have been, if only he (Obama) had followed Romney's the-free-market-is-god nonsense. I guess he couldn't spit that out.

[daimyo21]

Youtube "Tales of a flip-flopper" See whos name comes up. Do more research America. We cant be fooled like we did with Obama. If Ron Paul 30 year+ logical consistency cant convince you. Then Americas in trouble. Go youtube 1980s, 1990s Ron Paul and then look at todays Ron Paul. CONSISTENCY

[bgdomino]

Love how she say factually then shows a graph and doesn't explain it, then moves on typical, think you need to do more research on who did deregulations vids prove dems didn't want to regulate banks and mortgage lenders.

[wshwizards]

Unemployment in 01/09 was 7.8 percent. It's at about 9.2. That sounds like worse to me. Sure it was at 10 percent at some point and went back to 9.2..still worse. This is data from the bls. Mitt romney choked and this lib took advantage of that to mislead her viewers yet again.

[incitebytes]

@wshwizards, Your comment would make perfect sense to someone born on 1/20/09 (Obama's Inauguration Day), who had no knowledge of anything that occurred before he/she was born. The economy was bleeding jobs at 750,000/mo when Obama took office (thank you GWB and Republican deregulation of Wall St.). The last time the economy declined at -6%+ GDP (Great Depression) unemployment went to 25% and was still 14% 7 years later. You forgot to mention that the rooster crowing causes the sun to come up.

[nickrambus]

@incitebytes If stupid was a sport..you would be a shoo-in for the first round pick..!!!

[incitebytes]

Wow, I'm absolutely devastated by your canned, grade-school-level "wit." I can only assume (given your obvious intellectual limitations) that coming up with such a "snappy" reply was a real dancing-in-the-end-zone-in-fro­nt-of-the-mirror moment for you (indulge me for continuing your lame sports metaphor). Your inbred family/friends must be rightfully proud!

[testaculardystrophy]

@johnhale50 you should pull your tongue out of Flip Romney's ass, douchebag.

[xd40guy]

@testaculardystrophy LOL.. Yea. JOHNHALE50 is a hostile little hoochie isn't she? Are you on the rag??

[testaculardystrophy]

@xd40guy yeah johnhale has a lot of sand in her vag, and is going to get a serious infection from it. Apparently she's also a heroin addict like the lead singer of alice in chains. Has he sent you one of those friend invites from wannabe jewish and gay dot com?

[bravoalphahk]

By the way, uploader, you're as dishonest as that unattractive Maddow woman, as I see from your snivelling argument with Johnhale50. I hope you have something happy in your life to offset such a disadvantage. Consider moderating your politics.

[bravoalphahk]

Of course, the lying liberal was wrong enough there, by ignoring both the reporter's and Romney's antecedents for their pronoun, "things". But liberals can't stand only being a little wrong, and Maddow had to compound her false witness by glossing over Romney's subject in three other sentences -- the RECESSION, which in some ways already technically ended, was made worse and longer, not the reporter's three measures. Thus, his answer had deflected the misquotation and restated his thesis.

[bravoalphahk]

One look at her fake-word-entitled show and I knew this Maddow was going to be an idiot. Johnhale50's on the right track, but has the wrong liberal semantic trick, which Maddow deceptively demonstrated:

Reporter: (unemployment, stock market, GDP up)

Reporter: ...So how can you continue to say that THINGS are worse, when they really aren't worse?

Romney: I didn't say that THINGS are worse. What I said was that the economy hasn't turned around.

Maddow: "I didn't say the ECONOMY's worse..."

[platipot]

Mad Dow.

[OperationTailGunner]

You all need to understand that Mitt Romney is funded by the same masters of deception that funded and elected GW Bush...Mel Sembler. Funder of "Freedoms Watch" and other swiftboat PAC's formed up to spread deception and false information.

On his own...MiTT Romney is just a political sock puppet...but as we know all sock puppets need a hand (Mel Sembler etc..)

[goduke282]

@Johnhale50 totally agree. Romney is a brilliant man who has actual experience and real leadership. He has my vote.

[xd40guy]

@goduke282 Yea..ok Mitt Romney is borderline retarded. RON PAUL 2012!!!! You will vote for him too, just like johnhale50 A.K.A hostile hoochie.

[goduke282]

Rachael Maddow is a typical MSNBC loon. Jumps on any republican that she can but when Obama says there are 57 states or he bumbles like an idiot that never makes the show.

Mitt Romney is an experienced businessman who has been in the real economy his entire life creating jobs. Obama is filled with hollow speeches and has a shady background in Chicago. Take your pick America.

[ablust]

@goduke282 Absolutely agree. I'm not even a Romney fan, but he at least has some sort of background and experience in something other than community organizing and popping off at the mouth about his 'theories'.

If progress is what they call unemployment rising from an average 9.2 in '09 to 9.0 this year (a whopping .2%), then I seriously have fear for the human race. I've never seen a bigger group of retards occupying the White House, and an even bigger group of retards following them around.

[SelfImmolator]

Couldn't Romney say that he meant Obama made it worse 'initially', but that now the economy is better (but not doing as well as it could have been, had Obama not initially made it worse)?

[shotsky94]

@renijohn012270 You sound like an economic illiterate. Republicans have very little to do with Austrian Economics.

[shotsky94]

Rachel Maddow = Talking Head

[johnhale50]

They twisted Romney's words.

Romney said, "OBAMA made the economy worse" in his statements. Romney was right! Then in his later statement he said I never said the ECONOMY was worse. Romney knew like any other Economic student that a turn in the business cycle would make the economy better. However the economy is not nearly as good as it should be with Obama slowing progess.

Obama made Economy worse, true. But economy still better but cuz of turning in business cycle not Obama.

[pgthinker007]

@johnhale50

yep you got that my friend. As the matter of fact, Obama and his supporters have not taken Economics 101.

They do not understand meaning of recession.

[incitebytes]

@johnhale50, No one twisted Romney's words, except flip-flop-like-a-fish Romney himself, who cant' get his own name straight twice in a row. Anyone over 2 knows the take-away from what Romney said was that "Obama made the economy worse" in absolute terms. If not, why didn't he just say, "when compared to the business cycle"? Huh? It must have to do with what the meaning of "is" is. Further debunking your b.s., the non-partisan CBO says the stimulus added/saved 3 mil. jobs: bloom(.)bg/lD2RR1

[johnhale50]

@incitebytes There is a difference between THE ECONOMY GOT WORSE and OBAMA MADE THE ECONOMY WORSE! How come you cant understand simple logic when I put it so clearly in front of you. He didn't say "when compared to the business cycle"(your words), cuz he is not stupid The CBO also states his stimulus will also do more harm in the longrun! So Obama sacrificed our future for a tempory fix that is hardly working. Obama=retarded, Bush=super retarded, Romney=Brilliant.

[incitebytes]

@johnhale50, Romney brilliant? I guess if you stake out enough opposing positions, eventually some fool will consider you brilliant -- it's the old "blind squirrel" theory.

[johnhale50]

@incitebytes Or if you think graduating with honors from a top 20 business school than with honors from an Ivy Leaguy Business and Law program is brilliant. Or if you think being the first person to make the Olympics profitable especially taking it over when it was already failing is brilliant, Or if you think being a self built multi millionare in the private sectoris brilliant, Or if you think turning around a failing state is brilliant.... Take your pick. He is brillant!

[incitebytes]

@johnhale50, Or if you think running the most corrupt Olympics in modern history is "brilliant". Or if you think being born into millions = a "self built multimillionaire." Or if you think his job-destroying tenure at Bain Capital where thousands were laid off and 5 of his companies went bankrupt is brilliant. Or if you think being RANKED 47TH OF 50 STATES IN JOB CREATION as Governor is brilliant. Or if you think taking all sides of the every issue is brilliant. He's an empty suit.

[johnhale50]

@incitebytes there was nothing corrupt about the olympics. He started with some money but was a self built mulit millionare. He has created much much more jobs than failures and his failures have only helped him to learn from his mistakes. He 47th in creating jobs when the economy was booming and it was not important to create jobs... you and an empty t-shirt and shorts.

[xd40guy]

@johnhale50 First of all let me tell you something... RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!

[johnhale50]

@xd40guy Did you know that Ron Paul is a homosexual and a Jew. Is that why you want to vote for him? Or is it because he wants to give nuclear weapons to Iraq and legalize meth and cocain?

[xd40guy]

@johnhale50 ALL OF THE ABOVE. I will speak your language so you can understand.

He is the Jewish Butt Pirate that supposedly wants to arm Iran with nukes (yeah right) while we can all candidly sit around smoking meth and sniffing coke with impunity. YUP!!! That's sounds like my man Ronnie.

Like I said before... RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!

[johnhale50]

@xd40guy So basically you are saying that you are just as uneducated as the rest of his clones... I understand you now.

RON PAUL RON PAUL IM RETARDED RON PAUL!

[xd40guy]

@johnhale50 Ron Paul retarded? How? I want you to use your 2 brain cells and explain that INTELLIGENTLY. This guy is WAY better than Mitt Romney and actually makes sense when he speaks.

As president I don't think Ron Paul will live off the teleprompter like our Kool-Aid drinking Commander in Sheep.

Do some research about this guy and stop revealing how ignorant you really are. I'm embarrased for you. You seem to want Govt hands in your pants.

RON PAUL 2012!!!!! You will vote for him!

[johnhale50]

@xd40guy Oh corse he is better. He wants to make it so we can drink milk that is not regulated by the FDA!!! Pot heads, cowards in the military, red necks and cow owners love Ron Paul!

RON PAUL RON PAUL IM RETARDED RON PAUL

[xd40guy]

@johnhale50 Seems like you might also condone the TSA performing a prostate glad exam on you too if it became part of their enhanced examinations.

All these regulations and all this GOVT does not solve anything. What spectacular things have the TSA done? Nothing but piss people off. Can we agree?

[johnhale50]

@xd40guy TSA is retarded and as long as we still have it, it is proof that the terrorists have still not lost the war on terror... However Ron Paul is all talk and if elected we will still get probed by power hungry idiots who wanted a secure low paying socialist job.

[xd40guy]

@johnhale50 What war on terror? There is no war on terror. It's only a pretext to go and bomb other countries illegally. Our currency is losing value by design. It's planned. A piece out of a BIG puzzle.

Ron Paul is the only one that seems to know what he is talking about. The Federal Reserve is illegal.

Romney seems to think he is a standup comic whenever he speaks. Very flaky.

In your opinion, who is the best candidate? Hopefully not BLOWBAMA.

[johnhale50]

@xd40guy Ron Paul is captain RETARD and the only people dumber are his followers.

[drunkdonutboy]

@johnhale50 You lost any and all credibility when you called Ron Paul 'captain RETARD' <----what are you 5? These are the dumbshits that America is cradling in...God help us all...

[johnhale50]

@drunkdonutboy You lost ann and all credibility when I looked at your picture.

[pgthinker007]

Liberals drive me crazy. I can't handle them anymore:-(

[renijohn012270]

@pgthinker007 The TRUTH will always drive conservatives crazy!

[pgthinker007]

@renijohn012270

No.... You misunderstood. What I am trying to say is that it is hard to talk to illiterate people who do not get many things.

[incitebytes]

@pgthinker007, Good, go kill yourself!

[pgthinker007]

@incitebytes

I rather kill myself than to kiss Obama''s ass.

Now go and fuck yourself in NYC.

Adam and Glenn waiting for you:-)

[incitebytes]

@pgthinker007, I'm sure Obama would rather you kill yourself than have your ignorant lips on his ass. There seems to be a consensus here. Now, do the right thing.

[KimInLosAngeles]

@ Dr. Maddow

I LOVE YOU & your in-depth reports on many subjects but I can no longer stand your Keynesian economic conepts.

Please have some conversation with Austrian economists.

I recommend John Williams (shadowstats), Dr. Marc Faber, Max Keiser, & Peter Schiff.

The economy under Obama has NOT gotten better.

Research on the U.S. debt obligations (USA Today: $61.1 T) & derivatives bubble (estimated amt: $1.5 quadrillion).

Max Keiser said that you need to learn to read the balance sheet.

[renijohn012270]

@KimInLosAngeles And if John McCain and Sarah Palin were running the country,,everything would be just peachy??? PLEASE!! Given what Obama was handed by Bush,,I think he's doing his best and doesn't get the benefit of the doubt! Typical partisan hacks putting their ideology before country. If Bush and the republicans who controlled Congress from 1994-2006(12 Years), left Obama a semi-stable economy, then there would be NO reason for using Keynesian economics.

[KimInLosAngeles]

@renijohn012270

Hey, I was talking about HER economic concepts, so don't bring up McCain, Palin, Bush, or Obama.

I was NOT talking about their concepts or what they did or what they would do with the economy.

I've been watching her show since last year & I don't remember seeing one Austrian economist on her show, so I thought I should recommend a few.

Do some research on the U.S. debt obligations & derivatives bubble if you think we don't need to worry about the economy.

[ekjohndeer]

9-18% unemployment for three years , 6 trillion in new debt, debunkion dumb ass Rachel
