The Tingle Didn't Linger: Matthews Turns On Obama?
— Ace

I don't think he's "turned" on him. He would still walk on his knees over broken glass for the honor of cutting his own throat to give his master a warm footbath.

Still, he's disappointed, and acknowledging that Obama's got problems, among them (as he notes) a complete lack of any sort of agenda, a lack of any kind of winning campaign theme ("is this as good as it gets," Matthews asks of Obama's presidency), and a lack of interest in and aptidude for the position (Obama is a shut-in, kinda).

Speaking of pop culturally relevant, it's telling that Matthews cannot get over JFK, as just about every criticism is a direct comparison to JFK. ("There's no moon program, no Peace Corps" under Obama, he says.)

You know, given that we're probably not going to be ga-ga in love with our nominee-- at least one advantage is that we won't be turning into blubbering jilted wrecks like Matthews over his college hero crush.

1 I think he's pimping his JFK book that's out or will be out soon. Led to a really awesome bit of irony where Matthews went on a nice little Cain bashing rant, talking about sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct, segueing immediately into a segment on his new JFK book.

3 I think he's pimping his JFK book that's out or will be out soon. You want to turn Matthews on Obama? Tell that racist piece of shit that Obama is twice the man that JFK ever would have been, and watch him sputter to death in a hissy fit.

Okay, place your bets on when during the next 11.5 months Matthews will suddenly declare that Obama is now doing great things.

"He's saved or created tons of Peace on the Moon!"

8 Matthews is unhappy with Obama's style not substance. Chris Matthews isn't disappointed in Obama's failed policies; he's disappointed in Obama's failure to better sell his lousy policies.

9 JFK was no liberal, at least not like these commie bastards of today. And that just shows what idiots Matthews and his ilk are. And they are mostly "disappointed" that obama has not been able to force a sharper turn to the left. I guess trying to destroy the US Military, the US Health System, The entire economy, is not good enough for them? Oh and as a personal aside, I hope they all choke on their Thanksgiving Turkey.

18 What irritates me is that these losers got everything they wanted. Now they just sit around and bitch because the American people are rejecting it. They wanted huge amounts of government spending, Obama obliged. They wanted new healthcare bill, they got it. They wanted some huge new regulations, they got them. The results of them getting what they want are 9% unemployment and multi trillion dollars added to the debt. But these assholes wanna blame Obama so they can continue to endorse the same failed fucking policies.

Posted by: negentropy at November 21, 2011 05:49 AM (27KAF)

28 I told people this in 2008 - Baby Boomer liberals have spent their entire lives waiting for "the next JFK" or "the next RFK." They have these gauzy fantasies about the Kennedys and about JFK's years as some halcyon era for America. RFK was the liberal warrior while JFK was the handsome young President with the beautiful wife. Democratic politicians since LBJ have always tried to evoke the Kennedys when they ran for President. From Gary Hart affecting the JFK hand-in-pocket pose to Bill Clinton unearthing the video of himself actually shaking hands with JFK, to John Kerry trotting out his own Kennedy bonafides and trying to turn himself into the war hero that JFK was. And then we had Barack Obama, pretty much wrapping up the nomination by winning the endorsement of Ted and Caroline Kennedy and being directly crowned by them as the heir to the Kennedy legacy. The Michelle/Jackie and Sasha/Caroline comparisons were made immediately. People like Matthews are hopeless romantics and fantasists. There was no way Obama could ever live up to their JFK fantasy, just like Bill Clinton didn't either. But every Democratic candidate will still be measured by the Kennedy standard, until all the Baby Boomers are dead and gone. Liberals like to claim conservatives are doing the same thing with Ronald Reagan, but I don't think so. We care about the policies as much as we care about the personal qualities.

30 Some people were thinking that Hillary will be the Democratic nominee. The conspiracy inclined think it was all "part of the plan". It was discussed a couple of months ago and those who brought it up were scorned on here. Yesterday quite a few of the political ilk were discussing the possibility of a hillary run. She's go the two stooges out there talking. Rumor has it that she is "letting the Republican field, stew in its own juice" and then she'll "ride in on her white horse". Chris is just greasing her skids.

I guess He doesn't call no-more is very frustrating to Mathews. Why He doesn't really love me as much as i love him. so I'm going to have a moment of pique until he calls me.

43 Ace, I've been thinking about this for a while, and it seems obvious but is, IMO, overlooked. Even if an R wins the presidency in 2012, there is no guarantee he'll be a good president. In fact, odds stack against it. In my lifetime (1970-) we've had 2 if you count Clinton, as the demos certainly do. 2 out of 8.

Yet, the times don't even call for a great president in the sense we've come to expect (and especially in the sense the MFM and pop culture expects). The times call for a prudent, boring, yet focused and principled man who will simply say enough is enough. We can't spend any more (either in amount or duration).

He doesn't have to be a hero on a white horse. He just has to make the obvious choices before Doom arrives and makes them for all of us. Tingles not necessary.

There will be blood.

81 Chris's problem is that he, his show and his entire network has become irrelevant to the most important story of the next year. The R nomination is the only thing that will happen between now and labor day, and not one of the candidates who matter will give him the time of day. They don't have any need for his dwindling audience, his moronic challenges, ultimatums and traps, his relentless predictability, his Marmalard/Neidermayer sneakiness. The only R guests he can turn up are Steele, Meggy Mac and Steve Schmidt. Maybe Murkowski and the Maine sisters.

His only hope is to stir up a story line on the D side. Get that primary challenge talk humming, exaggerate the prospects of some "independent" third-party campaign, knife Chu, Napolitano and Holder so their replacements can revive and excite the mainstream party. He's already unfolding the Sister Souljah storyline where Obama spits on some expendable losers in a false show of moderation.

If the R wave is as big as expected, MSNBC will be about keeping Rangel, Dingell, Pelosi and Reid afloat in the dark years, and futile attempts oty rehabilitate Grayson, McCaskill, Stabenow and Durbin. At least until Comcast realizes they can lose less money with another shopping channel.

If he's lucky, maybe Matthews can get a gig with Democracy Now!

JFK was assassinated by a Left-Wing, Communist Sympathizer.

You don't have to be a genius, to figure who I'd compare to the SCoaMF.

83 Chris is a good example of what years of alcohol abuse does to an otherwise normal East Coast Lib. Those that have watched him play "Hard Ball", slobber and spit in the camera, and extol the virtues of the Kennedys, have seen it coming. His meltdown is not yet complete, stay tuned folks.

84 7 It wasn't a tingle. It was a thrill, a thrill running up Chrissy's leg.

The thrill is now still.

Is he sure it wasn't something oozing down his leg? Well, Chris has gone flaccid. It's sad when a boner dies.

88 When prominent liberal black politicians start publicly expressing major disappointment with TheOneÂ™ it will be the signal for the black population as a whole to turn on him. The here will come Hillary, riding her white steed BillyJeff, coming to their rescue.

Matthews at the 30 second mark in Breitbart's video (at my link): "just tell us commander, what are your orders, what is the mission?"

Barack Obama has passed more far reaching (and awful) legislation than almost any other Democratic President since LBJ.

A $900 billion stimulus, the most comprehensive healthcare reform in the history of medicine, and the most far reaching financial reforms since the Great Depression. Just to name the top three.

JFK had nothing - nothing - comparable to that. The Peace Corps? Okay, one can hold up the moon landing proposal but that still is small potatoes compared to Obama's "achievements".

Again, most of what Obama has passed is awful, dreadful, stupid; but it's far more significant than anything JFK got done.

Matthews' history simply doesn't make sense.

Yeah, there's a setup line for you to hit.....

In all seriousness, the world would be a better place if Joe Kennedy had suffered a debilitating ball injury before any of his kids were conceived.

Hell, the world would be a better place if Joe Kennedy's daddy had taken one in the nuts.

Come to that, it's a shame George Soros's father didn't step on a rake.

Chrissy completely misses it (oh, surprise... not). Obumbles IS executing an agenda. And he's being pretty successful at it. The agenda is to take down 'imperial America' while also turning it into an oligarchal socialist utopia.

The second thing Chrissy misses is that Obumbles is nothing more than Soro's lawn jockey. The Doctor Evil of the real world is using Uh-bama as his tool. Has been all along.

#42, Good call on John Edwards, perhaps the most shameless Kennedy wannabe of them all.

#103, of course you are right, but Matthews and other Boomer liberals like him wanted Obama to ACT more like JFK. He hasn't given any memorable "Ich bin ein Berliner" speeches, he's been surly rather than relaxed and debonair around the press, and his big legislative achievements were more in the nature of trying to fix big problems than inspirational to a generation the way the Peace Corps or the Moon landing program were. These Boomers are dreamers, not practical people. They want to be "inspired" like they were as little kids by JFK. They still hate LBJ even though he delivered the Civil Rights Act and Medicare, because he didn't inspire them and instead he sent them all to Vietnam. If JFK had lived and followed the exact same course in Vietnam, the Boomers would still love him and the 60s would have turned out a lot differently.

They were sold a bill of goods by Obama as an inspirational figure, and now they are bitterly disappointed that the only things he has inspired are the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. I am married to one of these people and he has a bunch of siblings and cousins who think the same way. They still love the "idea" of Obama even though they don't really like anything he has actually done or have much confidence that a second term will be any better.

96 Yet, the times don't even call for a great president in the sense we've come to expect (and especially in the sense the MFM and pop culture expects). The times call for a prudent, boring, yet focused and principled man who will simply say enough is enough. We can't spend any more (either in amount or duration).

He doesn't have to be a hero on a white horse. He just has to make the obvious choices before Doom arrives and makes them for all of us. Tingles not necessary.<<the Hammer

Unfortunately, I've been informed that Calvin Coolidge does not have a wide enough appeal. <shrug>

101 Speaking of pop culturally relevant, it's telling that Matthews cannot get over JFK, as just about every criticism is a direct comparison to JFK.

Is Matthews old enough to have given JFK a BJ?
