Oh boy, now Obama even has Chris Matthews turning on him.
President Obama "obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch," Chris Matthews said tonight.
Yes, you read that right: The MSNBC host who in 2008 felt a "thrill going up my leg" after hearing Obama speak has grown disenchanted. Tonight's episode of Hardball saw Matthews delivering a rare, unforgiving grilling of the president as severe as anything that might appear on Fox News.
"What part of the presidency does Obama like? He doesn't like dealing with other politicians -- that means his own cabinet, that means members of the congress, either party. He doesn't particularly like the press.... He likes to write the speeches, likes to rewrite what Favreau and the others wrote for the first draft," Matthews said.
"So what part does he like? He likes going on the road, campaigning, visiting businesses like he does every couple days somewhere in Ohio or somewhere," Matthews continued. "But what part does he like? He doesn't like lobbying for the bills he cares about. He doesn't like selling to the press. He doesn't like giving orders or giving somebody the power to give orders. He doesn't seem to like being an executive.

Oh come on now. Don't be so hard on the little fella. He likes vacations. He really likes flying around in Air Force One. And how about the Helicopter? You know, the one that goes whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, on his back lawn every day. Golf, Now there, I knew I would find something we can all agree on. And we must not forget about basket ball. Now I ask you. How's a guy to work long hours running a pesky country, when he's got all that to do?

I must tell you, just as I would a child. Your language is nothing short of disgusting. Please, if you cant do better than that, go someplace where they like that sort of filth.

He's doing exactly what his "minders" have told him to do. That way they can run the government without his interference.

Dear friends: I hope I have not gotten anyone upset over this short comment. Only the person it was directed at. A day or two ago I got a reply from one of my postings, that used some very colorful language. I do not like that sort of thing, and will in fact call anyone out that uses that kind of speech. I thought I had placed this small post in the correct spot. But alas not everything works out as intended.
Again I am so very sorry if I have up set any one. (except that person). RETW

RETW probably did not like the use of Obummer and liar so close together.

I too apologize. Before seeing your apology, I wrote a somewhat unkind comment relating to your comment. :oops:

No offense maybe they need to get over it. As Obummer isn't a bad or childish word. Hey the guy has done a fine job putting this country into the dust. And that my friend is really so very sad. I am so glad and not that I don't miss my father but I am glad he isn't alive today to see the mess this so called leader and President has mad of this Country as you see my father was a proud ww2 Vet served under old blood and guts Gen Patton at the Battle of the Bulge. It would rip his heart out as to what is going on today In America....

My father and father-in-law both served. Because my father was 50% blind in one eye, he did not face battles. He was an accountant so sent to Utah for supply and accounting duty. My father-law was a naval flight navigator. As you say, they both would be horrified. My father from a financial perspective and my father-in- law for the utter disdain the President has for our service members both active and inactive.
Although all concern goes out to our service members in harms way, the soldiers I feel most sorry for are those assigned to the White House. The spectacle of two Marines having to hold umbrellas over Obama and the Turkish Ambassador brought me close to having to scream for a MEDIC DEFRIB NOW. The other appalling example was Michelle using as backdrop props military service members during the Academy Award fiasco.
Sorry for the extended rant.
No one is paying ANY attention to what is happening in Washington,
Other than the lies and the racism to bring him down.,
The deficit is down, the stock market is up.
LET this POTUS do his job. He did not start any wars. The,drones were going on for years under other presidents.
Bush actually got away with murder. No WMDs. I never heard the GOP put him down as a profound lyer. Will these wingnuts E V E R get over losing the election?????

You are obviously only paying attention to what the lame stream medias are putting out and not researching for the truth....
Normal Americans are paying attention to what is going on in Washington, that's why we are so outraged!
The only things the obozo is doing is supporting the queers, the muslim terrorists, and the to lazy to work welfare class. He has created the largest division of the people in this country that has ever been with his class war fare goals!
If I get some time later on I'll send you the real stats.....
And
OBTW Why is it when ever you people don't have any facts to back up your mindless babble you always throw in the race card?
