@tpmtv Why did you cut your clip so short? There is another 3 minutes of awesomeness during their exchange not included here? :(

Chris Matthews is a loud-mouth imbecile who is a disgrace to journalism. Every journalist worth his salt would want to see the birth certificate, want to see Obama's Columbia University transcripts and records.

Sorry it's not racism to ask for these.

So you're saying that during his first 2 years, when he had full power to repeal the Bush tax cuts, and make all the necessary budget cuts, Obama secretly made cuts? Nobody knew about it except for you? 47 million people collecting stamps might have a little to do with our debt. Or 99 weeks of unemployment or expanding the wars, and not withdrawing troops from Iraq in his 1st 6 months. $1.2 trillion spent in his 1st year. Why hasn't the Dem's produced a budget in 4 years?

[nayme no]

Illegal immigrants cant vote - no evidence of fraud - sorry bullshit mountain

Romneys father received welfare, he was a republican. Poorer states get more welfare and they tend to vote GOP. Welfare represents less than 16% of spending

Unions are made up of working people who elect a chairman so what. Unlikes SuperPacs made up of undemocratic elites.

Was it Democrats who gave 800 billion to wallstreet ?

[nayme no]

C)- Energy - its a freemarket and price rises due to weak dollar andQE2 , the fed chairman appointed by GOP is Independent.Also Israel threatening to go ape shit on iran increases oil prices, Bibi said Iran would have nukes in 1993, was wrong then and wrong now. Global Oil Production was lower in 2009 when oil price was $50 a barrel.

d) GM - Mcdonalds owes billions doesnt stop is being a profitable company

America has no small banks,its a oligopoly market gop doesnt care about small biz fool.

[nayme no]

the UK has a tax rate of 25% , still doesnt stop tax dodging starbucks paid 1% as did Ebay. Cutting Taxes wont stop tax evasion fool, thats why income tax has to go up to make up for the effect of Tax Havens. The top 1% saw massive increase in wealth because they avoid corporation tax.

The US economy doesnt need more homes, it needs buyers and higher wages not a republican race to bottom everyone work for $1 an hour.

Unfunded 5 trillion tax cut = end of exemptions and tax rise of middle class

[nayme no]

WRONG. The Deficit was 1 trillion when Obama came to power and its been cut by 238 billion. So facts once again missing on bullshit Mountain. Also you have to look at the trend, If Obama come to office when the Deficit is increasing, it takes time to formulate policies and for them to take effect to cut. Bush and Republicans left the deficit - Medicare Part D,Iraq,Afghanistan, unfunded Tax Cuts

2) Credit Rating - Ireland and AIG had AAA before it went bankrupt, so ignore the rating

[Newton Isaac]

Romney's real plan is not to raise taxes on the middle class, that's just another outrageous Obama claim, that will be debunked in the debates. Romney will drill here and create jobs with oil. Romney will repeal Dodd Frank which has put home builders out of business. Our economy is dependant on the housing market. If you make it harder to buy a home, how is that helping anything? Also Romney will lower the corporate tax to 25%, this will bring all the tax dodgers back to the USA.

[Newton Isaac]

Wow! That's a great explaination for how Obama's going to solve our economic woes. You do know that Obama never saved us from a depression right? Obama borrowed money that we can't pay back, so not only did he lower our credit rating, he just delayed our bankruptcy. His energy policies have all failed. GM still owes 28 Billion, and received the tax exempt status under Obama. Dodd Frank has killed our housing industry. Now small banks can't give loans and big banks are buying small banks.

[Bolgernow]

xenophobic low information voters being duped by Freedom Works, Cross Roads GPS(Roves super PAC). They paid big $ to lie. They also promised JOBS, oh, where are they? Not ONE jobs bill by Republicans. NOT ONE. It's all over but the crying. Mitt just tanked his campaign today with hate over country. Not good

[Newton Isaac]

Really? GOP's dying? Why did the Democrats lose so many of the elections in 2010? Take away the illegal immigrants, welfare recipients, union kickbacks, and tax payer funded handouts, and the Democratic party would disappear!
