President Obama having a President Ford moment. The Obama moment went on to become an equally memorable joke in the media, not!
Will questions tonight trip Obama, figuratively speaking?

Chris Matthews Goes Off On ‘Bonehead’ Undecided Voters: ‘What’s Your Problem?’
MSNBC host Chris Matthews went off on the independent and undecided voter in a pre-debate appearance with MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall on Tuesday. After saying what he felt President Barack Obama should say in his upcoming debate against Mitt Romney which could secure his position with voters in swing states like Ohio, Matthews went off on undecided voters calling them “boneheads.” He concluded by saying that if these people were still confused about the choice in this election, they should just not vote at all.
Hall asked Matthews for his opinion on polls that show Romney gaining slightly on President Obama in the crucial battleground state of Ohio. Matthews offered his insight on how the president should move to secure that lead in tonight’s debate, but quickly pivoted to revealing his thoughts about voters who may still be undecided.
“People say, ‘this election’s hard for me to decide.’ You’d have to be a bonehead not to be able to decide between these two guys,” said Matthews to the cheers of the crowd flanking him. “It is so easy.”
“Do you want to have an auto industry or do you want it to go bankrupt,” Matthews asked. “Do you want to have the government tell you what to do with your body if you’re a woman or do you want to leave it up to the person? These are huge differences.”
“This is not complicated,” Matthews continued. “People are still scratching their heads trying to decide what’s – well, gee, just don’t vote. Don’t bother if you have to think at this point. What’s your problem?”

Re: Pres “The corrupt lib. media will say he won even if throws up on Candy Crowley.” Oh, come on now, CP, you can do better than this, really. MSNBC went ballistic after the last debate, obliterating O’s performance. Liberal Media? I love that one..just not true. Fox will defend each and every error from R and R and spin bad into good. I will be turning off my TV after tonight, if Mitt wins b/cause he will be the next pres. and with that, it will be a return to when W. left office. First line of business? Privatize M M and S. Sec., first mo. in office. Count on it and make sure you have lots of $ to support the ultra rich. Why, it’s the American way.

@d.d.
I just flipped to that channel and saw Hillary in 2008 campaigning that when she is elected president the buck will only stop in one place……….The Oval Office!
It seems to be a conservative channel and expands outside the Canadian borders. Suits me fine as Canada is way to liberal for me.
