DAVID LETTERMAN, HOST: Hereâs what upset me last night, this playing fast and loose with facts. And the President Obama cites the op-ed piece that Romney wrote about Detroit, âLet them go bankrupt, let them go bankrupt,â and last night he brings it up again. âOh, no, Governor, you said let them go bankrupt, blah blah blah, let them go bankrupt.â And Mitt said, âNo, no, check the thing, check the thing, check the thing.â
Now, I donât care whether youâre Republican or Democrat, you want your president to be telling the truth; you want the contender to be lying. And so what we found out today or soon thereafter that, in fact, the President Obama was not telling the truth about what was excerpted from that op-ed piece. I felt discouraged.
RACHEL MADDOW: Because the âLet Detroit go bankruptâ headline you feel like was inappropriate?
LETTERMAN: Well, the fact the President is invoking it and swearing that he was right and that Romney was wrong and I thought, well, heâs the president of course heâs right. Well, it turned out no, he was taking liberties with that.
