Good evening. Im Chris Matthews in washington. Let me start tonight with this. I think were looking at a new barack obama. You know the expression let reagan be reagan. I think were seeing barack obama be barack obama. An in your face challenge to the right wing. Hes putting in a guy who knows the lessons of vietnam and iraq and putting him out front, making him his point man as he goes into the war of hawkish republicans who count the months between wars as an unwanted timeout. Who like nothing more than the next war to fight. Meet barack obama two. Hes going to run the way he believes to do it. I like it. I think theres one guy out there by the way ironically rooting for obama. Its the guy who got used by the hawks, saw his place ruined by their lies. His name is george w. Bush. And hes sitting down there in texas watching the same old predictable crowd of war hawks trying good their number one more time. Only this time theres someone in the white house wise to their game. Joining me

Since the mass shooting in newtown, connecticut, a month ago, Buyback Programs in cities like camden, new jersey, and los angeles have broken records. No questions asked, all of these guns are just taken off the streets. Yesterday in tucson, arizona, on the se
