We already knew that Obama gives MSNBC host Christ Matthews a “tingle.” So maybe now that he‘s admitted that he’s “pro-Obama in many ways” shouldn’t be surprising. But now at least it’s out in the open.
Matthews made the admission during Thursday’s “Hardball.” Interestingly enough, however, the comment came as Matthews was critiquing the president and his bus tour. Real Clear Politics has the transcript:
“You know I’m pretty pro-Obama in many ways. I sort of like the spirit of his administration. I like the whole direction its taken in terms of responsibility and what it stands for in our country’s history. But I have to wonder about the jobs program. Right now let’s talk jobs.”

Posted on August 5, 2011 at 10:27amAs long as you brown-nose anyone with liberal views, you’re one of the so called journalists. It’s only when you like people who are conservative that you have to “turn in your badge”. Objective journalism is one of the biggest jokes I’ve ever heard.

Posted on August 5, 2011 at 10:56amGuys, stop with all the sexual entendres, please! Go to Huffpo or some other website that may be more conducive to your way of thinking and expressing those opinions. This line of “reasoning” that you’re dishing out diminishes the conversation. I (and maybe other’s, too) find this talk so offensive! Stick to the topic at hand. Sorry if my personal values may interfere with your personal opinion, but “gutter” talk is so declasse!

I haven’t heard this administration take responsibility for ANYTHING, let alone what “responsibility” stands for in our country. There is NONE. I am responsible for myself and my family and then I am responsible to help my neighbors in need. How about we all start THERE?

We know you do Christ because you said it yourself that you are a self described MARXIST. Obama caters to a smorgasbord of Socialist/Communist ideologies depending on who he is speaking to that day.Hell, he had a full blown Communist (Van Jones) working for him.
