Matthews: "So Proud" Of Obama Addressing Troops In Afghanistan Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC's "Hardball," raved about a speech President Obama made to American troops during his surprise visit to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. "I imagine being a soldier over there -- this is what you want to hear," Matthews said, as if he was wearing military fatigues. Matthews also likened the leadership of President Obama to that of Henry V of England. "It was right out of Henry V actually, a touch of Barry, in this case, in the night for those soldiers risking their lives over there," Matthews said. "Well that's great stuff. I was so proud of the President there, I must say. This has nothing to do with partisanship; this is the Commander-in-Chief meeting with the troops," Chris Matthews gushed on his program today. Matthews continued to express his admiration for Obama, who was in Afghanistan to mark the first anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death. "Congressman [Jim] Moran (D-VA), I was so proud of him there because I imagine being a soldier over there [and] this is what you want to hear. The troops are backed up by the people at home and there you have your Commander-in-Chief there with you personally. It's great stuff," Matthews raved. Rep. Moran also had strong praise for Obama, noting he was acting in a way that the Commander-in-Chief "should act" rather than "just by claiming to be" one. Moran said the speech "was not politics" and Obama has not made and will not make this a campaign issue. "He is our Commander-in-Chief and not just by claiming to be, but by acting as a Commander-in-Chief should act. This was a Commander-in-Chief's speech. It was not political. It was motivational; it was just exactly what the troops needed to hear and [just] as important, what their families need to hear back home," Moran said. "And instead of gloating over the killing of bin Laden a year ago, this is exactly where he should be and doing what he should be doing. Now in terms of responding to the concern of this war, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't accelerate the troop withdrawal. It's not going to happen before the election and it's going to happen only as he can responsibly withdrawal our troops," Moran continued. "You're not going to hear much about this issue because I don't see where he's left any room on the left or the right for it to be a campaign issue, Chris," Moran concluded. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi..._obama_speaking_to_troops_in_afghanistan.html Video at above link: Ah, Chris, Henry V was a king and a soldier. He actually stood on a battlefield. Obama was a community organizer. _
Sad truly sad.The lenghts to which a once proud blue collar democrat will go in order to show adoration over a Marxist in sheeps clothing. I just lost my audio feed to - Hannity -. No other channel was effected. I think part of the Media Blackout is taking place. Michael Savage said last week that a credible inside source he has told him to watch out.That this White House was up to something to eliminate Talk Radio. James Clyburn has a daughter who is in some FCC higher up capacity.
"This has nothing to do with partisanship; this is the Commander-in-Chief meeting with the troops" LO (*)(*)(*)(*)ing L!!! Refresh me, Chris....I can't remember such gushing, knob slobbing commentary slipping from your lubricated lips during any of Bush's MANY visits with the troops. That lefties support that idiot's show enough to keep him on the air.... speaks to ONE thing. They're idiots themselves.
I wonder if Mathews leg is tingling again. You guys do realize Mathews is an overt partisan, not an honest broker of information. He got his start writing speeches for Tip O'Niell. He may as well be on Soros' payroll.
Matthews has no credibility in the journalistic world anymore and hasn't for awhile. I think he's actually making this a bigger deal than it is since he doesn't have much to praise Obama for. So the guy met the troops, as many other Presidents have done, and running this OBL issue into the ground. Nobody thinks that killing OBL will override the economy or lack of jobs but its all they got I guess.
Remind me again. In which branch of the military did this "expert" in what the troops want to hear from the Marixst in charge serve?
Matthews is simply another member of the "conga-line of morons" at MSNBC. Even MSNBC wouldn't let Matthews or Olberman do the election night coverage. One of these days the newly replaced CEO of MSNBC will tear up Matthews contract. The question is then what sewer pit will Matthews be found floating in? (metaphorically speaking)
In the spirit of historical correctness it wasn't "Kool Aid" Jones made his loonies drink. I know what it actually was but if you all want to know go found out for yourselves. LOL
