    Well….I am sure that was his 101st interview that day and Matt looks more like a Tim anyway. At least he didn't imagine being shot at while in Bosnia like Hilary did.

    I hope americans are not having him as the candidate. I'd rather having Hilary. I am not a US citizen, I am from Montreal, but sure the US rules all over the globe and I just see him as a Hugo Chavez you know, the Venezuelan president that's taking his beautiful country to the worst period in time, I hope Venezuela doesn't became the new Cuba. I think Obama is like the same, just someone talking about "beauty" things that are not possible to do, and also, just being so "pitty me, I am a bit black" if I was black I would kick his ass out cause he doesn't know what they suffered back a long ago and then, now that is so over, stop blaming others and get real

    when Hilary finally faces reality and stops dividing the democratic party, then he can rest and concentrate his efforts on McCain …where they should be.

    OBAMA 2008!!!!

  29. Kate says – reply to this


    29

    Go Obama!

    Stop hurting the party Perez. Every vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain! She can't win the nomination, she can't win in the fall.

    LIEK, ZOMG, WHAT A DOUCHE, HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER!
    Seriously, Perez, EVERYONE is running empty. That's not that big of a deal. It's a draining process, so who cares of Obama calls Matt 'Tim.'

    Saw him making a speech live on CNN last night and he seemed tired. But not to tired to deliver a kick ass speech to the nation.
    Obama rocks. Hilary rocks. The Democrats are on fire.

    There was that time that Matt came to my hotel room. He was dressed in spandex pants and a shiny gold lame shirt. He WANTED to called Tim the whole time I doinked him in the bum.

    Re: keena

    Will lose? She's already lost. The media perpetrating this myth that she still has a chance is amazing.

  55. God forbid ... says – reply to this


    55

    … a presidential candidate–especially Barack–should "slip up." The guy's probably exhausted. There's no reason for this ridiculously stupid post on your site–or any site, gossip or news. Give him a break.

  56. Lame says – reply to this


    56

    And calling Barack "homes?"

    OMG.

    Who's the fucktard now?

  57. answer to Kerin says – reply to this


    57

    Kerin thats F–ke up….what do you mean "Vote white people" …. do you want to tell everyone what Hillary and her crew think about white people…. like "screw them bill" not to mention Kantor saying that Indianan's are shity and are "white ni–ers" controversy in the movie "the war room"……
    Stop spreading lies about Obama being a muslim…..He's not and you know it….

  58. Kerin says – reply to this


    58

    I am sorry that I am such an ignorant cunt!!!! It's only because I hate myself that I make comments like that.

  59. caroline says – reply to this


    59

    he probably confused him with Tim Russert from "Meet the Press" which he was on yesterday and is also on nbc!

  60. Teresa says – reply to this


    60

    Hillary plans to obliterate Iran (forget what that will do to the economy, of well wee are only a few trillion in debt) but she for got Cuba, a country that is so closeby. Perhaps, her husband should have done it. Maybe, maybe the cuban people would have been free by now.

  61. marce says – reply to this


    61

    Hilary is a LADY, sure she is. She kinda was the president back in the 90's when her husband was the 1st man of that country. All the people know that she was the one who had the brain and the economy of the US was way better and more stable and better to the whole country (low, middle and high classes) than now.
    Obama is just a wanna be that's trying to portray an image that doesn't belongs, he's a populace, demagogue… "he's good cause he's in part black" come on! a color doesn't says anything. What about the stupid things his pastor is saying? now Obama is not supporting him… how bizarre, when it is on his favor then he supports him, and when it is not convenient the he steps back. That's not a leader.
    Hope Hilary gets the candidature of her party.

  62. Holly says – reply to this


    62

    he is exactly what we need for this country. whoever wrote the stupid comment about voting for "white people" is ignorant, uneducated and exactly the reason why we need this country to change. why does it have to be a racial issue? you people make me sick and i'm not even of an ethnic background. seriously, what century do we live in?

  63. squintz says – reply to this


    63

    Wow, what a desperate troll you are, Perez. Maybe if you and all your racist buddies here gave him a moment's peace, he could get some rest. Some people have to work for a living, you fat fuck.

  64. hmm says – reply to this


    64

    so he messed up.. lets see if this becomes as huge as paula abdul messing up.. probably it wont. because when a guy messes up, thats ok because he was just "tired". but when a woman messes up, shes automatically seen as crazy :(

    Are you comparing PAULA ABDUL TO BARACK OBAMA? No, when she messes up she's "automatically" seen as drunk. Goddamn, I cannot believe how fucking stupid you people are.

  74. cambel says – reply to this


    74

    Calling Matt "Tim" by accident is Misspeaking. Claiming that you were under sniper fire when you weren't is Lying. There, now we have a definition of each.

    Re: squintz – oh pity me… should I have wrote "candidacy"?
    I am from Montreal, and am speaking and writing in English, French and Spanish all day long, so I can have a faire une gaffe for you every now and then
    Still that shitty Obama is not well prepared and experienced to lead a country as enormous as the US
    Hilary IS that big and have demonstrated how prepared she is
    And girl power chicks, you should support her

  78. Holly says – reply to this


    78

    Re: hmm – well paula abdul messes up b/c she's on drugs and is a complete mumbling idiot. cannot stand her. Obama is a presidential candidate for god's sake who is actually articulate and makes sense when he speaks. don't ever compare his little name slipups to paula abdul's.

    85

    (Re: Teresa – i agree caroline - i think he thought it was tim russert. (matt's voice is similar to tim's - honest mistake.) also, it's very possible that an nbc producer neglected to tell obama who was conducting the interview. even if he was just sleep deprived, at least it wasn't as bad as hillary's bosnia slip (which she blamed on being overtired.)

    I feel so sorry for any of the deluded people in America that actually think Hillary is a good choice for the Democratic nominee. If anyone actually did their research, they would see what a trail of lies she has left in her wake, and all the people she has used and discarded for her own agenda. I can't stand her. Obama has his flaws too, but I'd rather vote for someone who has some morals.

THE BLACKS WILL FUCK UP THE ENTIRE COUNTRY JUST LIKE THEY FUCK UP THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS. IT IS FRIGHTENING HOW MANY IGNORANT PEOPLE THERE ARE OUT THERE.

    The guys speaks to thousands of people a day. He probably was told he was speaking to Tim Russert. Thanks Perez for demonstrating your stupidity. At least he wasn't dodging sniper fire. Idiot.

  96. squintz says – reply to this


    96

    marce - no, genius, you should have said "nomination." And I'll be sure to put the fact that you're from Montreal right on the cover of "Big Whoop Magazine." How extremely enlightened you seem for a person who claims to know three languages, as illustrated through such thoughtful statements as "pitty me, I am a bit black." How do you say that in Spanish? You should move on down here, plenty of Americans share your classy views! Good work!
    Senator Obama has served a cumulative (look it up) eleven years in elected office to Senator Clinton's seven. That would count as more experience, even using the metric system, yes? Math's a bitch, I know. Your gal Hillary (at least spell her name right, you have Google in Canada, don’t you?) seems to agree. Boo hoo.

  97. JOHNNY says – reply to this

    I CANT BELIEVE THAT AT A TIME WHEN THIS COUNTRY IS FIGHTING A WAR AGAINST ISLAMIC TERROR THAT ANYONE WOULD EVEN REMOTELY CONSIDER VOTING FOR A MUSLIM LIKE OBAMA. WHY DONT YOU JUST GO AHEAD AND NOMINATE BIN LADEN? IF THIS COUNTRY ELECTS THAT BLACK THEY WILL GET EXACTLY WHEN THEY DESERVE. GOD BLESS AMERICA? GOD DAMNED AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!
