Matthews: People Are Upset Because We Have A Black President

Chris Matthews talks with Gov. Ed Rendell and Steve Moore from The Wall Street Journal about two characters who showed up at a Sen. Arlen Specter town hall: a birther ("please tell Mr. Obama he's an American") and a single mom ("you have awakened a sleeping giant.") Matthews calls it "primitive talk."

Rendell thinks birthers are "absolutely nuts" and the majority should "step up and say no to these crazies."

Moore argues that there's a lot of "rage" at these meetings; Matthews is led to believe that "I think some of the people are upset because we have a black President."

A black president?

As far as I understand, it was a white, non jewish who started the idiotic war in Iraq.

I'm upset because our leaders don't give a damn about us. It's been going on for several years and I'm tried of it already. Chris Matthews, like congress, has no understanding of what Americans want. I don't want an oversized, intrusive government that taxes people to death and wants to run our lives. BTW, Medicaid/Medicare is to be bankrupt by 2015 and Social Security by 2023. So why should gov't run the health care system? Gov't = Fail. Chris Matthews' divisive, racist comments are disgusting.

@chinchonchinchon A Black President keeps it alive. Not to mention, the Black anti American President also got America involved in a dumb conflict in Libya.
