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

Clip from July 1, 2011, The Rachel Maddow Show where Rachel (in a Debunktion Junction segment) has some fun highlighting Mitt Romney lying when he said that Obama has "made the economy worse" and then lying about his lies when he said he never said that (a classic Republican motif).

"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!

@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.

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!

@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).

@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!!

@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.

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