Is Chris Matthews Turning on Obama?

Is the media finally waking up? Hmmmm?
I am just so tired of Nobama’s half-truths, statements of omission, and out and out lies! I don't care about Bush; he is no longer in government, but Nobama is.

Nobama said, "I will cut the deficit in half by 2012!"
Nobama said, "The stimulus will stop the unemployment rate from rising about 8%!"

AND Surprise, surprise! China is now publically upset that the Dollar is being devalued by Nobama; Essentially, they do NOT want to be paid-off in worthless, devalued dollars; think in terms of $800 Billion! What really sucks is that the G20 and G8 publically chastised Nobama for his 5.5 percent of GDP, $3.3 Trillion national budget as openly inflationary, i.e., printing money was and is NOT the solution to preventing a recession or climbing out of one, nor does it stimulate job growth. In fact, Nobama was told that his give-away would cause global inflation of commodities, i.e., Gold, Oil, Corn, etc.. AND, guess what? It has!!!

I am just so tired of the bumbling, inexperienced moron dragging the country down the toilet!
The current healthcare bill will literally end up requiring and ultimately providing rationed healthcare; it is the ONLY way the INSURANCE process can work. The bill will destroy Medicare by stripping away Medicare dollars and resources. And finally, the bill will head the US to a financial ruin with a massive, unpayable deficit; adding more than $1.2 Trillion to the national debt is a killer.

I just hope America wakes ups and simply starts looking at the numbers. Mostly, I am just so tired of Nobama’s half-truths, statements of omission, and out and out lies! We can only hope the media is waking up.

Whatever Matthew's motives are,, I've gotta give him a "thumbs up" on using his brain for a change. It's ok to be wrong on issues but critical thinking demands admitting you're wrong at times.

Unlike the lemmings on this blog that constantly treat it as heresy to question the disturbing policies of this administration,, maybe Matthews has taken time to sort through some of the issues at hand.

His point that this administration sees itself as so intellectual, they totally ignore the will of the people & how their own presence appears to those they supposedly represent.

A self indulging elitist can never represent the common good of the masses,, it's just not possible. Matthew's tingle has turned into a gripping pain that even he can no longer deny......

I know I will be chastised by my fellow Christian Conservatives ... but I simply must take exception with the blatant false witness regarding the famous = 'tingle'.

Chris Matthews was not PRAISING Barack Obama. In fact, he was fully behind John McCain - even more so than most of my fellow Christian Conservatives.

Here are some quotes from Hard Ball.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

On Wednesday, January 30, 2008, Chris gave accolades to John's ability that even John denied having - when he heaped praise McCain's "candor" and "honest[y]" on economic knowledge"

I mean, even MCCAIN admitted his lack of economic awareness. Nevertheless, Chris Matthews went to bat for him ... and announced to America ... that McCain was qualified.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

On Thursday, March 6, 2008, STILL pushing John McCain - Chris Matthews says of Obama and Hillary:
"Pennsylvania prefers a beefier sort to either of these people, a more rustic, tougher sort than" Obama or Clinton!"

Of course, Pennsylvania preferred Obama over McCain.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

On Wednesday, April 2, 2008, CNN's Chris Matthews said:
"Does Obama "connect with regular people" or just African-Americans and college grads?"

Doesn't sound like Chris Matthews gives Obama much credit.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

On Tuesday, April 15, 2008, CNN's Chris Matthews decided he wanted to crack the campaign wide open and give John McCain an opportunity to FULLY EXPLAIN his deepest thoughts on America.

Which is when he asked his John McCain this deeply probing question:
"[W]e've had enough softball, Senator. ... Is Barack Obama an elitist?"

Wow ... looks like those 'TINGLES' were really for John McCain.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

On Friday, May 2, 2008, Chris Matthews makes THIS pronouncement ...
"What do you have with McCain? INTEGRITY!

I wonder ... did he not know that John McCain was an adulterer?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

On Thursday, June 12, 2008, CNN's Chris Matthews said:
"Obama's running mate should be "[s]omeone who's palpably patriotic,"

I think this was during the time Obama was seen not wearing his little flag pin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

On Monday, December 3, 2007, Chris Matthews described Obama as:

" ... almost Third World in his sort of presentation"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

On Sunday, November 11, 2007, Chris Matthews repeated:
"John McCain DESERVES to be President."

Except that 69 MIllion PLUS Americans didn't agree with his preference.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sorry my fellow Christian Conservatives ... I simply cannot play the politically correct game of calling Mainstream Media 'Liberally Biased'.

I'm trying to be a CHRISTIAN ... and not some highly partisan person who CLAIMS to be a Christian - but lies about things like Chris Matthews 'tingle' and the "Liberal Media".

I believe it's the right thing to do.

Sorry.

Peace.

They will look at: Sara Palin Lou Dobbs, Rush Limbaough, Michael Steele, Michele Bachman, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck and the list goes on and on, and they will run as the devil runs way from the cross

It's true Mark2win--you hit the nail on the head! People saw what they wanted to see--not what this man is really all about. What has Barack Obama EVER accomplished that would qualify him for the presidency? When I asked that question last fall before the election, I was brushed off as a racist. The evidence was always there.

You are gonna be trying this old rant and anti education, anti intellectual crap for a long time, but no one want an illiterate Sara Palin or a demented Lou Dobbs for president.

For the most part the American Public is smarter then you folks. They looked at Obama's past and all the people who came into play with his career and made a smart choice. No other President has been laid out for all to see every second of their life like Obama has, yet you folks still rant and rave. Is it too funny when Matthews the person most here called Obama's cheerleader start asking some tough questions you are all so surprised? I guess you folks even believe your own lies about the so-called liberal press. Without a doubt Obama is facing some of his toughest times right now, the economy, the wars, health care. These will be the months that make or break Obama as President. I am also very happy we elected such a smart man to face the troubles this nation faces, a man who will take the time to think and make the right choices. We all know the kind that flood these boards, any look at any AOL poll will show how far from the real America these folks are. The President will come though these days and America will be the better for having him in charge.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to pay the price along with the uninformed who elected him.

To cjjanis:

"For the most part the American Public is smarter then you folks." American public is smarter than the people here? Guess what, the "folks" here are part of the American public. As for smarter, since when? They obviously didn't look at his past. I looked at the National Journal where he was rated as THE MOST LIBERAL senator in 2007. That was enough for me. I also looked at his record in the Illinois state legislature. 130 votes as "present." Despite the spin his campaign tried to put on this, it told me the man was afraid to make a decision on tough issues. Does Afghanistan come to mind? And as Senator Obama, he missed 314 of 1300 roll call votes (24%) between January 2005 and September 2008. Absent when needed? How many trips has he taken since being elected? I realize that presidents do have an obligation to visit other countries for many reasons, but he seems to prefer other countries to this one. Not surprising after Michelle's remark about America being "mean."

His election told me that people voted AGAINST George Bush rather than FOR Obama. And the Republicans put up a senile old man who was almost as liberal as Obama.

You are so right in that we did try to tell people. The problem was that everyone wanted tosay that they made history by voting for the first black american president. They didnt care, or were not smart enough to realize, that the man had no experience, had/has communist/marxist and radical "friends" or that he is just a typical chicago thug. They didnt care to know about Obama's true plans for this nation but they will surely reap what the sow. I cant wait til I am able to ask, "hows that hope and change working out for ya"? No. I cant do it, Im too nice. I will however, laugh to myself when they all start realizing that Obama is NOT tyhe man they dared to hope that he was.

What will you do in 2010?

RATE THIS COMMENT: (14)

I must say, I find cowboybills comment to be disturbing.

There appears to be a desperate desire to attribute the catastrophic events of the Bush Administration to the Obama Administration.

As a Conservative, I would like nothing more that to believe that our Christian Conservative President, George W. Bush was blameless.

But as a Christian, I'm simply not going to lie and claim that our current state of affairs are due to President Obama.

Only a fool would do something like that.

And only fools would accept cowboybills viewpoint.

In actual fact, our Christian Conservative President Bush was a walking disaster. His inaction at various time when decisive Government Intervention could have prevented horrendous results.

Now, I see my fellow Christian Conservatives talking out of both sides of their mouths at the very same time.

Out of one side, they are demeaning President Obama for not accomplishing enough.

Out of the other side, they are ridiculing President Obama for doing too much - calling him a socialist.

When a person contradicts themselves, you can generally discount their point of view.

That's why, as a Christian Conservative, I try to keep my criticism of our Government Representatives free from insane commentary.

After all, working together always produces a better result - and makes us all stronger - as opposed to fighting against those who we didn't vote for.

Peace.

Sounds to me like Mathews has come out of a coma, judging by the polls a lot of people are finally coming out of their media induced trance.

The only rats running will be republicans running not to be connected to Sara Palin, or Rush Limbaugh or tea baggers.

Yes ... Chris Matthews is quite strange.

I remember him supporting John McCain for President.

For instance - I distinctly remember Chris Matthews saying on several occasions that John McCain DESERVED to be president.

I also remember that he fairly regularly demeaned Barack Obama as only being able to connect with black people and college kids.

However, as a Christian Conservative, I'm duty bound to pretend I believe in a Liberal Media Conspiracy against us Christian Conservatives.

It's all part of our little 'cheat' ... to get special consideration from Mainstream Media.

You're welcome.
