Chris Matthews sours on Obama
President Obama "obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch," Chris Matthews said tonight.
Yes, you read that right: The MSNBC host who in 2008 felt a "thrill going up my leg" after hearing Obama speak has grown disenchanted. Tonight's episode of Hardball saw Matthews delivering a rare, unforgiving grilling of the president as severe as anything that might appear on Fox News.
"What part of the presidency does Obama like? He doesn't like dealing with other politicians -- that means his own cabinet, that means members of the congress, either party. He doesn't particularly like the press.... He likes to write the speeches, likes to rewrite what Favreau and the others wrote for the first draft," Matthews said.
"So what part does he like? He likes going on the road, campaigning, visiting businesses like he does every couple days somewhere in Ohio or somewhere," Matthews continued. "But what part does he like? He doesn't like lobbying for the bills he cares about. He doesn't like selling to the press. He doesn't like giving orders or giving somebody the power to give orders. He doesn't seem to like being an executive.â€
He doesn't like giving orders or giving somebody the power to give orders. He doesn't seem to like being an executive.â€
Although, to be fair, he had no way of knowing he wouldn't like it prior to being elected President, since his previous life was totally devoid of any actual executive experience.
That's an easy question to answer, Tweety. He loves those cheering, adoring, fainting crowds of idiotic sheeple who thinks he's going to pay their mortgage and fill up their gas tanks out of his "stash." And he loves the celebrities and really nice vacations, too.

Do you mean about Chris Mathews? I saw yesterday there was a couple of threads, if you can call them that. Just like, 2 replies. The usual "I've had it with him, never watch him" etc.I missed them. Must have been on page three. :hyper:

Everyone gets that mixed up.
"Crunchy" was the crazy dwarf's term for bread-and-circus, sensational news items, lacking solid substance.
Her reporting, by way of contrast, is substantial, solid, full of heavy-duty nooz-worthiness.
You may be right, but her malapropism-laden misspelled word salads are so full of embedded sarcasm and omitted context that the intended meaning of her nadinisms are sufficiently ambiguous that they are easily misconstrued...to the extent they can be decrypted into English at all.
