Chris Matthews Gushes Over Obama‘s ’Smile‘ While Blasting GOP’s ‘Reign of Terror’

MSNBC host Chris Matthews is at it again, blasting conservatives while showing unabashed affection for President Obama. On Monday’s episode of “Hardball,” Matthews seized on what he calls Republicans’ “reign of terror,“ asserting that Republicans ”don’t like democratic government“ but do like to ”tear down statues“ rather than ”put them up.”
When asked by guest David Corn why, if one doesn’t care about government at all, would he or she not vote for Michele Bachmann or Herman Cain, Matthews blazed:
I think this is the reign of terror. Anyway, I don’t think they like government or leadership or politics– really politics. They don’t like democratic government. They don’t like having a leader. They like to bring down- these are guys who tear down statues. They don’t put them up.
During the same broadcast, Matthews switched gears from tearing down GOP lawmakers and presidential candidates to admiring the Commander in Chief.
Oddly, after bashing Obama not but a few weeks ago for having “the worst kind of a notion of the presidency,” many thought the bloom had fallen off the rose for Matthews where his affections for the president are concerned.
But alas, the man who once said Obama sent a “thrill up his leg” (a statement he will surely never live down), wore his heart on his sleeve yet again, stating that Obama’s “smile’s worth a million bucks.”
Newsbusters brings us both clips. A partial transcript follows below the video.
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: President Obama also spoke yesterday at a reception for the star-studded event. In addition to shining a light on each of the honorees for their accomplishments, he pointed out one of them who might have something to offer to the political scene, specifically, the gridlock on Capitol Hill. Well, let’s take a look at this one. Couldn’t see this one coming.
[...]
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Maybe the most amazing thing about Yoyo Ma is that everybody likes him. You’ve got to give me some tips. It’s remarkable.
He’s been named one of People magazine’s sexiest men alive. He’s appeared on Sesame Street. I’ve thought about asking him to go talk to Congress.
[...]
MATTHEWS: Smile’s worth a million bucks.
Could Matthews be suffering from what modern-day slang refers to as a “man-crush?”

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 10:03pmThe only relevant question here is how this nitwit (Matthews) continues to have an audience or a television show? He’s obviously so enamoured with the president, he should just come out and state that he’s in love with the gentleman, and leave it at that. (Not that everyone doesn’t already know it anyway.)

Posted on December 6, 2011 at 11:16pmWhy shouldn’t Mattews moderate the next Republican debate instead of Trump? I’ll tell you why. The Donald has name-value and may indeed be the next President of the United States. The libs mock him, saying he’s an arrogant, self-important, hair-challenged person, a buffoon, a self proclaimed know-it-all without any knowledge at all about domestic or foreign policy. Of his business they say he’s declared bankruptcy three or four times (relieving him of his unpaid debts), been married a bunch of times like every “family values” Republican candidate these days, and that he is nothing but empty bluff and bluster, without an inkling of any issue we’d expect of a Presidential candidate.
But that’s crap. Trump for moderator! Trump for President!

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 9:55pmThe GOP‘s reign of terror doesn’t start until 2013. The Democrats have controlled the government since the Nov. 2006 elections. Can someone please remind Matthews of the 2010 elections. The only order the American people gave the government was STOP SPENDING MONEY!!!! Other than that, there’s room for compromise. It‘s Chris that doesn’t understand democracy. Democracy is what happened in 2010.

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 9:14pmI won’t watch the video, Matthews really disturbs me too much. People like him won’t change until the country is falling down around them. Soon Chris may be hungry and hunted and in as desperate a strait as the rest of us and when his saviour,Obama, doesn’t need him and people like him anymore he might have a real come to Jesus moment.
