MAtthews is a tool. He and people like him are why we're on the brink today.

I won't go near his show - he's is dead to me.

Just pulling the same crap he pulled during the sinkmeister regime.

The first few were more than enough.

Gawd! The snobbishness!

They’re too eggheaded, too Harvard, too well-dressed...

I like it where Chrissy anticipates a circus trial and the hated NYpost making political hay out of it.

“the group is too intellectual (too much Ivy League)”

Ah, that old saw. Liberals are too smart for their own good. Has there been a Democrat in the 20th century who wasn’t smarter than his Republican opponent?

Nevermind FDR’s personal academic credentials (it is widely known he was no book genius), his administration was run by the Brain Trust. We know they were smart, of course, because they were all socialists.

Adlai Stevenson lost to Eisenhower because Ike (who lead the largest and most complicated invasion and subsequent campaign in the history of warfare) because the former was an “egghead”.

Carter was basically a nuclear scientist, for pete’s sake! Al Gore is mankind’s greatest climatologist. The less said about Reagan and Bush II the better.

Surely, we conservatives have been playing up the anti-elitist angle for a while. That’s not because we think they’re more intelligent than us, quite the opposite, in fact. Chris seems to think it is. Though I might remind him what party is more likely to back the masses and oppose aristocrats. Both parties back the mass—their own special mass—and neither have any real aristocrats, obviously. I’m just saying, which is MORE likely to be anti-elitist/pro-unitellectual (even if technically comprised of “intellectuals”; that is, intellectuals who have abandoned their intellectual heritage).

All the work Bush did to deflect and diffuse the focus of terrorist interest away from New York City was just thrown away. Unbelievably imprudent, totally lacking foresight and ultimately heartless. It is impossible to overstate the boneheadedness of Holder’s/Obama’s decision.

LOL. Listening to this, it’s hysterical. The problem is, Obama is just too smart, and is surrounded by too many smart people.

I have not watched the video, but from what you noted in your introduction, I think that you missed the main reason for his failure, namely, he is a socialist. This country is not ready for a Stalinist government just yet. Maybe in a few more years the country will embrace socialism, but not now.

Like I said, that bow in Tokyo was liable to sink him by 3 or 4 opinion poll points. We theorized that exactly one week ago today, and then Eagled-Up and did our duty, making it go viral and international with so many Freepers upon Freepers and then others involved (UConn Republicans, blogs, FOX News), and now the polling numbers are just coming in and even the Liberal talking heads in the US M.S.M. have to take note of what a fiasco it was.

Of course, the plummeting numbers for Obama are due to variety of factors. But the "Obamabow" was right smack up there as a change agent, IMHO. Great visuals. Said a lot in few words. In fact, was brutally true to the old Asian adage of "One Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words".

This finally, after 10 months of this guy, "broke it down" for the American People, IMHO.
