Chris Matthews Finds His Backbone, Criticizes Obama’s Incompetence
5/27/2010 – Chris Banescu -
Chris Matthews: “This President is NOT acting like Commander-in-Chief!”
An amazing awakening has just occurred today at MSNBC. Chris Matthews, yes the same one that got the tingle up his leg when he heard Obama speak, has finally done it! He actually criticized Obama and his incompetent leadership. In a rather lengthy diatribe, Matthews really gave it to the President and raised many valid points:
… You screw up, you should be able to fix the problem.
Number 2, this is our North American land mass. This is part of our birthright. With the Grand Canyon, with Niagra Fall, Yosemite.. These are some of the wonderful things that we hope will always be here, the Gulf of Mexico. Is more important than the presidency. This president has no acted that way! Like this is more important than a fundraiser… or interview about basketball..
He doesn’t seem to be taking ownership. Presidents must seize control when something like this happens.
Matthews (sounding like a reporter from FoxNews) went even further and lambasted Obama’s lack of leadership in a crisis:
I think this is more like the Iranian hostage crisis that brought down Jimmy Carter, think Katrina. It’s more like a situation where Churchill had to enlist every ship to get the men off Dunkirk. Or Harry Truman had to draft the mine workers…
This is big time and he [Obama] hasn’t acted like it’s big time!
And Matthews was not done just yet. He continued:
Why doesn’t he [Obama] operate in an emergency situation, the way Harry Truman would, and said we want all these super-tankers that do business in this country to get out there and start sucking up this petroleum. Millions and millions of gallons out there. It’s not going to go away unless it’s collected.
Why do we keep treating this like a BP business problem when it’s affecting our very society and our continent?
We’re treating it like a lower grade problem than it is, it’s clear to me.
And now for the Grand Finale by Matthew, get ready, this is were the Obama induced tingle may have finally worn off:
This President is NOT acting like Commander-in-Chief!
…
I don’t see a chain of command. I don’t sense it’s war time conditions at all.
…
All through this time I have not sensed that this president has been chief executive.
Who would have thought such a thing possible even a few weeks ago.

Matthews, you and the far left helped put this incompetent in office. You should take your share of the responsiblity for his failure.
The FOX Nation picked up our story! Thank you conservative readers for spreading the word!

It’s about time you liberal idiot journalists saw Obammie the commie for what he is
a nothing that still wants to vote present instead of making decisions.
It took awhile but I guess even Liberal morons eventually get it…
Maybe there is hope. Eventually the light bulbs will come on but I sure hope they hurry before it’s too late!!
Could it be an awakening? I don’t think so…the Commies need to get their poll numbers up before the elections this fall and they know BO isn’t gonna do it for them. They need to come up with another snow job to promote their agenda. NEXT!
What do you expect from this administraton – The most brain dead group of clowns since “Mr. Peanut Man” tried to be the big man on the block.
I am really beginning to believe that my 20 month old granddaughter is brighter, than the whole lot that has been paid by the OB person, to run the administration.
A group of local Cub, Boy and Girl Scouts could do a better job, than this administration put together, has done since this circus has come to town.
Kudos to Chris Matthews on this instead of trying a positive spin. But be advised, he’ll get the tingles again for the next ‘great teleprompter speach’. Certain members of my family recent admitted they were sorry they voted for Obama and offered this reason “We really didn’t understand the issues”. I say BS. They refused to listen when the campaign was on. Some people should be tested for their competency before given the vote.
I don’t believe this crap from Matthews. This guys is so far left he will do anything to raise his ratings. Liberals have no shame….they lack character and integrity. It’s obvious Obama is not going to take serious action – if he does and he fails than there goes his precious ratings. He could care less about that oil washing up on our beaches!
A real President would have taken control after a week and told BP that they are paying the bills. Called every expert in the field and brain stormed on how to plug the hole. Deflecting blame is their M.O. – I have never seen such an empty glass as Commander and Chief. He’s that bad…I think I would have rather had Hillary win, at least she knows how to get things done!
The guy is a Community organizer…what did these fools who voted for him think he was going to be capable of leading the greatest country the world has ever seen.
Remember that about a month before letting BP drill, Obama ordered “no drilling.” I guess that meant no one except his long-time buddies at BP. Then he does nothing with this nation-wrecking spill, except to halt ALL drilling. We have accessible oil, with new discoveries in California, Texas and Oklahoma.
This is beyond shocking in the Gulf. Not days going by without fast enough eaid, like Katrina, but going in its second month. No concern, no help, and no anguish. Its an agenda.
Remember back, Obama’s administrations placed the wild horse sanctuaries (which I favor) on the Colorado Shale, where there just happens to be oil. Then they said we couldn’t drill there because of the Wildlife protection.
Private land owners are told they cannot drill on their own land.
Oil drilling, done right, is non-invasive today – we can save wildlife and drill.
Here in California we have enough oil to meet our state’s needs for 35 years. Of course we don’t have a lot of industry needs for oil here, the left has driven businesses, and jobs away in droves.
Obama is out to destroy this nation. No jobs, no oil, no production, no weapons. and massive corruption and entitlements. He neither likes this country, nor understands this country, and he continues to get away with his enormously self-indulgent narcissism, and historical lies and ignorance.
GEE, WOULD THIS BE ANOTHER CRISIS WHICH IS TOO GOOD TO LET GO BY. GUESS MAYBE NOW THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET CRAP & TRADE PASSED. THIS MAN IS DESTROYING OUR NATION ON EVERY LEVEL. WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE LOSING JOBS BECAUSE WE CAN’T DRILL FOR 6 MONTHS. WHEN A FOOD IS TAINTED DO WE STOP ALL FOOD FROM BEING PURCHASED?
How about sending all of those un-employed people to the gulf to clean up the mess. Yeah, even the llegals. Maybe they will earn enough to get them back to their home in Mexico. I heard that it cost $30,000 to deport an illegal. Bus tickets must have really gone up.
Then we’ll see if we can clean up the mess in the white house.
I Like #8 and #9
Remember the Alimo
and Eric The Great
Here’s one easy way to clean up the oil, I think Bubba has it right and as he states use it as fuel after its collected.

Hey you criticizing the President?!, You’re a racist. You just disagree with Obama because he’s black.
D-Day just passed and little mention of it made in the Liberal media. Sad. Back then the United States of America was One Nation, where everyone was pulling together. Sure there were shirkers, but overall the majority of the country worked to end the war in Europe and the Pacific. There were crises that were genuine and solved not for political cachet, but to ensure victory.
Today we have a country that is being despoiled, weakened, changed and ruined by a bunch of liberal self-seekers that were set in office by a populace that salvered over the liberal media’s portrayal of Bush, Palin, McCain and anyone else this same media could destroy. God is not allowed here anymore because a handful of atheists insist upon it. Illegals of any stripe come in and squat,being cared for by the Big Nanny, the USA.
We have a President that bows, scrapes and apologizes for America being America. Where would the World be now had America not engaged in the Normandy landings? Speaking German? No, I don’t believe so. How about Russian?
Whatever language it would have been it would not be good old American English. The United States of America would have been no more. Now, we seem to be heading in just that direction without a fight, just apologies and excuses by this administration.
