It’s always fun to watch a bona fide Media Matters puppet get confronted with a heavy dose of truth on live television.

So here we go! Walsh beats Bashir on substance handily in this segment, so much so that by the end Bashir is just lashing out, blaming Bush and playing the race card on Walsh. The pained look on Bashir’s face says it all: He got owned.

Walsh is correct - O'blabla is a campaigner not a leader and O'blabla is a liar

This Bashir is a POS - He sounds "pretty" but no substance.

THIS JUST IN.....

Jimmy Carter loses "WORST U.S. PRESIDENT EVER" tittle to Barack Obama!!!

Barack Obama takes "WORST U.S. PRESIDENT EVER" title from Jimmy Carter.

Carter was notified late yesterday of the loss. Carter expressed bitter disappointment at the loss. Carter stated that when he was president, he worked hand in hand with the Mid-East Anti American Coalition to obtain the tittle and was assured by Mid-East Anti American Coalition that the "WORST U.S. PRESIDENT EVER" title would be his for at least the next 100 years.

Obama was proud of his accomplishment and stated that

THIS title he has ACTUALLY EARNED!!!!!!

Not like his Nobel prize that he received for just showing up.

***NEWS FLASH***Obama THE WORT U.S. PRESIDENT EVER!!!

Budgeted deficits were a little over 2 trillion, but the actual debt was over 4 trillion. He used the wrong word, but I doubt his intent was to deceive since the debate has been over both debts and deficits.

What this country doesn't need is a limey-speak Paki telling us how it is. Maybe we can strike a deal with Canada to take him off our hands. They can have Anampour into the bargain.

Why does this feel like the Y2K crisis all over again. "Experts" saying the sky is falling and bringing a solution to a problem the "experts" created. Trust me, August 3rd will come and go and we will all still be here, working our jobs, taking care of our families, and Washington be damned!

Balance the FREAKING BUDGET!!!!

I think that if some kind of budget amendment is capable with the states, in no way do I feel it a good idea for it to occur under this president, or with Reid in control of the senate.

I would have been way harsher on this MSNBC hack. Do I believe Obama mostly won voters because he is a black man? White guilt? With an uneducated voting population? Yes, absolutely.

I believe Conservatives need to wise up even more, see though their word tricks, and use plain words.

Sadly, oaths mean little to nothing to those three.

I loved that! Bashir wasn't using facts, he was using statements to side-step facts because the facts were devastating on their own and he had to try to mask the real issue. It's actually insulting that he tried to use a tax cheat's demagoguery as though they carried any weight- and then some random economist's words as though they were the final word on the subject when the bottom line (which Walsh pointed out) was that all of these experts and super-geniuses got us into trouble and with their help, we are in the most stagnant economy since the 30's which he only used to throw back in Bashir's face for blaming Bush as an argument about how tough Obama's had it.....

I've seen a lot of this guy lately and I really can't believe he is from Illinois. He's not really well known, and I'm not sure if he'll stay in office because of the redistricting and the way Dems were cut into the few Republican regions....but he's becoming one of my favorite critics of the administration with the way he doesn't pull any punches when he's on MSNBC. Hope to see more of him in the future.
