During his show on Wednesday, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews critiqued the debate performances of President Barack Obama and his GOP rival Mitt Romney. While the host thought the president won the debate decisively, he couldn’t believe that Romney could “look down” on the president, who according to his guest, actor James Lipton, became a “hero” during the debate.
“It was the face off in ‘High Noon.’ And the President of the United States was Gary Cooper.” Lipton said. “At that moment, he became a hero, I think”
Lipton referred to Obama as a president and Romney as a “boss,” saying that “job creator is a euphemism for profit creator.”
Matthews later played a clip of the memorable exchange between Romney and Obama over permits for energy exploration on federal land, which are down over the last four years. As Obama attempted to interrupt Romney, he told the president “you’ll get your chance” to talk.
“I don’t think he understands the Constitution of the United States…He’s the President of the United States. You don’t say, ‘you’ll get your chance,’” Matthews said.
Lipton added: “If Mitt Romney were the president and Barack Obama were the challenger, and these roles were reversed, and Obama treated Romney – the president in this construct – the way he was treated, you would have heard an outcry from coast to coast and you would never, ever hear the end of it…It is rude. It’s inexcusable. I think it’s a very, very sad day when the presidency, which has been under fire since Nixon — and particular this president — can be treated this way by someone who is an American citizen.”
Matthews said it was a “lack of deference” on Romney’s part. “Through it all he looked down at the president…He looked down at him as a person.”

Oct. 17, 2012 at 11:53pmChrissy, I give everyone respect, but you have to work to keep it. Oblamo has not kept my respect nor my interest! Actually, he never really had my interest. . .
I have respect for my country, and for the office of President. But this man has not been a good representative of either my country nor the office of President. Therefore, I have little to no respect for him.
Call me racist, I know you will, but actually, I see Obama as a little green man running around with no clothes on, and million and millions of people only able to see the color of his skin, not the content of his character, of which there is little to none!
Romney/Ryan 2012, please Lord.

That does’nt give a pass for this admin. Obama can’t claim executive priviledge on Fast and Furious, unless he was directly involved…and that is what he did…he is also providing arms to al quida and hostile Muslim Brotherhood groups. es even appointing them throughout our government.

What war crimes would those be moron? Are you back on the they lied about the wmd thing? Guess it doesn’t bother you that the current administration has our military in Jordan and somewhere in the congo right now with no congressional approval at all just sent them because king oblamalamadingdong wanted to. There was congressional approval for both wars that began after 9/11 and congress had access to the same freaking intelligence that the president and vp had so should everyone that voted for us to go to war also be brought up on war crime charges? You are an idiot of the first degree and I hope you are first on Obama’s kill list just because you really shouldn’t be able to reproduce.

Oct. 18, 2012 at 4:52am@FrothyDischarge –
First of all, I must say that your name suits you. After reading some of your comments, a frothy discharge of the bowels came to mind. You see, your comments are like diarrhea of the mouth or in this case since you aren’t really talking but rather are typing your thoughts, its like diarrhea of the brain. A fowl frothy discharge indeed!
Secondly, your comment inserted the word ‘reverence’ and that was never used by either Lipton nor Matthews. The actual word you wanted is ‘deference’. I would not offer reverence to any president either. However, I would offer deference to all US presidents as I think that they deserve it. I would even be so bold as to say that I would offer deference to George Dubya Bush if I ever met the man even though on the inside I would still think that Dubya was the stupidest, craziest president that the USA has ever seen.
So now you know the difference between reverence and deference. See, you learned something good today! Now, if only all republicans would try to learn one thing each day, then, maybe in a couple of thousand years, republicans might be smart enough to become democrats and vote for the proper reasons instead of the same old BS that always leads to bigger deficits, illegal wars, etc., etc….

Are you on crack? YOUR idiot president has spent more money than all of the first 40 presidents combined in less than 4 years and you are still going to harp about George Bush who although he spent far too much money, still spent considerably less than Obama already has, and he was in office for 8 years. It amazes me that you idiot democrats have built this false image of yourselves to where you think that you are smarter than anyone else in the room. Where do you get that from? Your degree is no better than a republicans degree. You guys have made this into Animal Farm writ large. Just because you deem yourself better than someone else doesn’t make it true. Truth of the matter is that while you call anyone who doesn’t vote for the Dims inferior you are something much worse than you accuse them of being.

Oct. 18, 2012 at 12:02pmOk Chrissy…I’ll call your bluff.
If Romney is looking down on the pResident..then the pResident is looking down on the entire country with this statement he offered during the second debate…
The Indonesian Prince said in his non-response to the question about security being removed from the embassy in Benghazi:
“And these aren’t just representatives of the United States, they are my representatives. I send them there, oftentimes into harm’s way.”
“JUST” Mr Obama?????? JUST????? So is Barack Obama holding himself above the United States itself? It’s “JUST” the Unted States to Mr Obama”? “These are MY respresentatives”. “/ send them there”.
So Barack Obama is now holding himself above the very nation itself? This country had a revolution to remove a man who shared Obama’s view of this nation.

Oct. 18, 2012 at 12:32pmLipton is the host of Inside the Actor’s Studio. So he’s not exactly a great bastion of political or historical thought outside of Hollywood. He knows movies/films and beyond that, probably not much else. That’s why all the examples he gave related to movies. That’s what he knows.
On the topic of the Constitution, Matthews is, as usual, wrong. President or not, he is just a man. To refer to him as anything else would be stupid. Then again, it is Chris Matthews.

Oct. 18, 2012 at 12:45pmFOR THE LAST TIME, there WAS wmd’s found in Iraq. Good lord people, do some research. We found a warehouse full of mustard gas tipped artillery shells. Probably the same stock pile Saddam used on the Kurds. We also have satellite images of Iraqi convoys of military trucks going to Syria days before we invaded. They weren’t carrying Wal-Mart products.
I know most of you liberals never served so let me educate you. WMD does not mean nuclear weapons alone. That term also includes chemical and biological weapons. Gut what mustard gas is. Also, his nuclear scientists that were captured admitted that Saddam thought his nuke program was farther along than it was because they were lying to him out of fear.
Finally, Saddam violated the cease fire from the 1st Gulf war numerous time thereby giving us every legal justification to adjust him to room temperature. That’s why you “war crimes” nonsense would get laughed out of any court in the free world.

Oct. 18, 2012 at 4:42pmChris Matthews is a Moron in the same mode as his hero, the Moron that is currently residing in
the White House, but not for long, with his ugly, fat, whining, unappreciative wife. It is evident that
Matthews has never committed the research necessary to vet this closet, Non-American Muslim
whose intent, along with George Soros, to destroy the U.S. economy and capitalism as we know it.
Where has Matthews been residing? Under a stone? When anyone is connected to George Soros,
it ain’t good for the U.S. Soros, similar to the Moron, hates the U.S. and learned his lessons of
subversion well as a Nazi collaborator during World War Two in his native Hungary, assisting a Nazi
enforcer whom evicted Jews from their homes and confiscated their belongings. After the war, Soros
was asked how his experience with the Nazi affected his psyche, and he replied, “I LOVED IT, I
WOULD DO IT AGAIN.” Soros and the Moron’s associations with Communists, Anarchists,
Marxists, Socialists and Criminals, is not the individual that I can proudly call the POTUS. The
Moron that currently takes up space in the White House, is indeed, “THE ANTI-CHRIST.”

Oct. 18, 2012 at 4:53pmIf I was Romney, I would look down on the Moron too. I had to serve my country in Vietnam, and
therefore, it gives me the right to call a Communist, a Communist. The Moron that currently resides
in the White House, is a Communist. His entire family were Communists, and his mentor, Frank
Marshall Davis was a card-carrying Communist. The Moron’s grandparents were also Communists.
Therefore, it is highly doubtful that the Moron appreciates the freedom of a democracy, but it is this
freedom of democracy that permitted to become a millionaire. This Moron is not a natural born
American citizen, therefore, he is not eligible to become President. Since he was not vetted by
the U.S. Senate as part of their duties, the Moron was given a pass, and therefore, I suspect that
George Soros used his wealth to grease the hands of the Senate body and not vet their hero because
the Soros elite knew that this Moron could never pass muster without concealing his personal
records, but when the Moron is booted out of Washington, D.C. and his personal records become
public, more than likely, both the Moron and Soros will be indicted for the crimes that they both
committed in undermining the sovereignty of the United States of America.

Oct. 18, 2012 at 6:51pmYou nailed it. Tony Balogna, newsflash there isn’t anything in the constitution that says the president must be treated with deference either. The president is a public SERVANT. Get that through your thick head. The constitution limits the government not the people. All you have is unsubstantiated assertions and insults. In any debate, the parties are equal. That is the whole point of the debate. Put them on a LEVEL playing field and let the best man win- which was clearly Romney in both debates. To be deferential to any opponent is an insult to his worthiness as an opponent. No only that, Romney needed to assert himself to get something close to equal time because Candy was clearly part of the MSM shameless bias and she was pulling out all the stops. I actually felt sorry for Obama that she had to stick up for him- even when he was wrong. That is when you know you are losing big. No one cried foul when Gore the bore was rude to Bush. The most ridiculous part of the whole article was the “if the situation was reversed” thing because we all know if the situation were reversed we would never hear the end of how the president had been racist towards his opponent. The left controls are the hysteria lines so it isn’t as if they ever have to worry about “never hearing the end” of anything ever. That is a privilege enjoyed by the liberal press and the liberal press alone. Their mass hysteria is a death song if I ever heard one.

And if you hate these wars why are you voting in the war-monger Obama who has not only continued the wars but expanded to war in other places too??? Obama’s biggest war seems to be with the American people. He has hurt us at every turn: gas prices, jobs, deficits, lies, class warfare, race warfare, etc. He has never helped the middle class, I am still looking for those middle class tax cuts he claims are so great. Where are they and for how much??? Bush’s tax cuts I could visibly see because I was getting a check every year. Supposedly only the rich were getting them but everyone I know (all middle class) got them AND they were a huge help too!

Oct. 17, 2012 at 11:13pmFirst of all, Chris, Obama is not a King, as much as he thinks he is. Secondly, he is subject to all laws and regulations just like every other US citizen. As such, he is not above or below any other citizen. When he attempts to break the rules, as in this case, he needs to be called on it. His, and Joe Biden’s feeble attempts to interrupt and control the debate through intimidation, were and are contrary to the rules of order and specifically the agreed upon rules for this debate. The only problem with this whole scenario is that the moderator should have been the one to tell BHO to stand down, as she did to Romney. By not doing so, she tainted the whole debate.

Oct. 19, 2012 at 5:39amDid you really expect a friend of Obama to run a fair debate? I laughed as Obama acted like a toddler trying to make Romney be quiet. I was almost expecting him to say Romney took his toys away from him, Obama acted so childish. Obama has no record to stand on so it has to resort to fear-mongering, saying things like Romney wants to kill grandma or Romney wants dirty water. LOL Carter tried the same thing with Reagan and once the electorate could see it wasn’t true, the campaign fizzled. I am expecting the same as Obama’s lies are being revealed one by one in these debates.

Oct. 18, 2012 at 12:16amI hope Obama is defeated in the election, but I wonder if in that short time from election to inauguration of his replacement he wouldn’t do something desperate to attempt to finish off the country. I fully expect there to be election fraud on a scale unheard of in past elections. He needs it badly enough to try anything to be re-elected. By hook or by crook

Oct. 18, 2012 at 12:30amI think that is why Romney was holding back on spending .. he knows he may very well need money for LAWYERS … I just made another donation to the campaign last night.

Oct. 18, 2012 at 7:37amWill Chris go into APOPLEXY? I have MSNBC blocked from my TV so I hope someone records it for posterity. If Romney wins, maybe Chris will move to venezuela and bed down with Chavez.

Oct. 18, 2012 at 2:04pmIf Obama loses, Chris Matthews will have to be committed to an insane asylum even though he should have been a long time ago. The thrill of up his leg will be gone. Maybe he can visit Moochele and Obozo at Gitmo. Obama will do ANYTHING to get himself over the finish line. Watch for voter fraud, big time although that can be taken care of if MILLIONS will get out and vote for Romney. Donald Trump said a year ago and restated it the other day, watch for a possible strike on Libya or Syria to make himself look like some kind of war hero in the 11th hour.

Oct. 19, 2012 at 6:47am@warriorswife: I expect Obama will write a bunch of executive orders in an attempt to keep us from drilling for oil. I think there will be many other illegal orders too but he will attempt to further cripple the U.S. in energy. Seems to be the only thing the Lord of Lies has time for outside of playing golf. I wish I could have been at the last debate. I would have asked him how many people from the middle class, that he claims to be in tune with, does he find at Pebble Beach golf course of Martha’s Vineyard?

Oct. 17, 2012 at 11:10pmChrissy is probably right this time. Hell, I look down on Barry as
sub-human communist garbage.
However, I think Chrissy is the one who doesnt understand the Constitution
“I don’t think he understands the Constitution of the United States…He’s the President
of the United States. You don’t say, ‘you’ll get your chance,’” Matthews said.

Oct. 17, 2012 at 11:07pmI almost stopped reading this after the word MSNBC but powered through it anyway. Matthews is pathetic. Did he have this same critique the way Biden treated Ryan during their debate? Nope. On that stage Romney and Obama are equal PERIOD. They are both vying for the same job and therefore neither are better than the other. The odds were stacked against him from the start with that bum of a moderator answering Obummer’s questions for him. I’m glad Romney didn’t roll over.

Oct. 17, 2012 at 11:07pmSad news for you Mathews, I’m an American citizen and I look down on Obama. To the point that you will NOT hear me calling him President now, or ever. I would’nt trust him to take care of a house plant. Don’t know why you’re whinning anyway, your boyfriend ended up with 9 minutes more time, and his lackey Crowley made it a point to interupt PRESIDENT Romney every single time your girl got into a jam. STFU, I, and I think America as a whole have had more than enough of your homoerotic cheerleading. After Nov.6, do yourself a favor…resign. Your career is over. Maybe you and Barry can move to some nice little beachside bungallo in costa rica and finally be alone and you can just bask in his glory…tool

Oct. 17, 2012 at 11:04pmWhat planet is this man from? If he understood the Constitution he would realize that no one is above the law and the President was not following the rules of the debate. What kind of a debate would it be if the President can talk whenever he wants and the opponent just has to be quiet? Matthews has had too many chills up his leg that they are causing his mind to freeze.

Oct. 18, 2012 at 3:11am@ZUPWWIDAT: How does a guy that is so obviously unhinged have any journalistic credibility, even among the leftist Kool Aid drinkers?
The answer is simple, they’re all truly nuts and, using a old trite but appropreate saying here, birds of a feather flock together. One might not know it because many nuts (in this case an average reporter) speak with authority, which they bestowed upon themselves. .It’s a common characteristic of real crazy people. Chrissy is also clever. He uses an old tried and true technique to look somewhat sane. He hangs around people who are even way nuttier than he is, people like Nancy Pelosi. She qualifies as terminally nuts. Next to her he looks hardly nuts at all. Have you ever seen Nancy eyes when she does the wide eyed blinking thing. You can tell she’s nuts just by looking at her. Now there’s someone who needs to be put out of the misery she causes just about everyone else.
