MSNBC political pundit, Chris Matthews, who was also a speech writer of former President Jimmy Carter, this week stated what the Judiciary Report has maintained for the past two years, the failing economy is going to help destroy President Obama's chances of reelection in November 2012. The Judiciary Report stated it is imperative that Obama turn the economy around and act with transparency, to receive a second term and he has not. The numbers are still bad.

Matthews stated of the economy this week, "It is not 'steaming ahead,' unfortunately. The growth rate is well below 3 percent and that is not strong enough to bring people back to work in the numbers that will instill confidence that the country itself is headed back to business...we have a housing problem that remains an albatross--a difficult-to-explain, but devastating, situation that somehow seems to undercut a true recovery." Matthews also lamented rising has prices and their negative effect.

Black Comment Has Some Seeing Red

CNBC television host, Chris Matthews, is in a bit of a pickle today. Matthews, who is white, stated that during U.S. President Obama's first State of the Union address, he forgot the Commander-in-Chief was black.

Some have taken offense at Matthews statement, but I honestly do not think he meant to cause offense. I thought he meant Obama's speech was non-divisive and inclusive, therefore color didn't matter.

Side Bar: with a name like Barack how could you forget he's black. The only more black name he could have is Simba Obama (I'm just teasing).
