Ed Schultz Explodes at Obama: ‘Go Face to Face with Me… I’m Ready!’

After President Barack Obama teased MSNBC for some of its hosts vocal opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Ed Schultz whipped out his trademark bluster and challenged the president to a “face-to-face” debate on the trade deal.

“If you were watching MSNBC and all of this stuff thinking, ‘Oh, man, I love Obama, but what’s going on here?’” the president said Thursday in Washington, D.C. “So I want to the record straight here. I want everybody to be clear about what we’re doing. Because I believe in what I’m doing here.”

“Well, Mr. president, I want you to know that I believe in what I’m doing,” Schultz replied on his show. “If you can prove to the American people that there will not be a depression of wages, if you can prove to the American people that this will create jobs, if you want to go face to face with me, President Obama, I’m ready to go because I have the facts, okay?”

On-air guest Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) assured his host that the president “is talking about you,” because no television host has discussed the trade agreement as much as Schultz.

but whatever turns your ratings.

And I like Shultz mostly, and will continue to even as he is wrong on this.

His heart is in the right place, but even with the missing draft of 25 chapters of trade bill, Ed is not up to that challenge

But I do know President Obama also ridiculed Senator Warren for a laugh with supporters today as well. He said she should say what the problems are knowing full well she isn't allowed to.
