MSNBC’s Chris Matthews accused American businesses of “sabotaging President Obama and his program by selfishly placing profit ahead of the national interest.”
“The continued refusal of firms to hire is prolonging the recession and hurting the President’s Party in the upcoming election,” Matthews contended. “When we all should be pulling together to help President Obama, businesses are insisting that decreased sales revenue and negative net earnings make adding personnel too risky. Even worse, many of these businesses are now contributing money to help elect people who oppose the President. At the risk of appearing overly strident, I’d say this looks like treason to me.”
Matthews urged that “the President should do everything in his power to crack down on those who aim to thwart him. Even if Republicans do take control of Congress, President Obama still has weapons he can use. The IRS still answers to him. Let’s see how these businesses like being audited. Or he can issue Executive Orders shutting down whole business sectors if they are insufficiently cooperative. And there’s lawsuits. If Attorney General Holder can sue the State of Arizona he can just as easily sue any business enemies of the President.”
In related news, Presidential Advisor David Axelrod taunted the Chamber of Commerce for failure to disclose the names of those donating to its campaign against the President’s program. “What, are they afraid we’ll do something to hurt those donors?” Axelrod jeered. “Only a wimp hides behind a claim of confidentiality. The American people deserve to know all the facts about those who oppose the government. If they won’t give this information up voluntarily, well, we have ways of encouraging them to do so.”

LOL!
The complete in-the-bag-for-the-Dems nature of the MSM Commentariat is just on full display here for anyone with half a clue. Unfortunately, too much of the U.S. is without a clue.

Hissy Chrissy obviously knows nothing of America. He’s dabbling in Marxism and knows nothing about it.
OK, Mr. Semmens - - what is satire and what is truth?
“Only a wimp hides behind a claim of confidentiality”
Axelrod is certainly talking about Zero......
Geez when you’re halfway through the article before you realize it’s a satire...
This almost too close to reality!!
I wish he was right, but most businesses aren’t that brave.
This delusional mega whackjob should be in a mental institution instead of TV. But, then again, he is probaly entertaining to his 200-300 viewers. Pathetic putz!!
You’re like a prophecy machine. You write satire one week and the next week it happens in reality. Watch for this or similar before the elections.
Just try to ignore the clowns at MSNBC. They’re just playing to a smaller and smaller band of zealots. And zealots can only be appealed to from a position of inflammatory bullshit. Those idiots are simply trying to overcome anonymity, hence their irrational bombast.
We really need a more conspicuous way to identify satire. I was practically to the last sentence before it occurred to me it may not be a straight story. Or maybe it would help if Dems and Libs would quit behaving as parodies of themselves.
Sadly, I almost fell for this. Because it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if chrissy did say this. Especially since his bosses apparently don’t care about profit.
Dude. I have been reading all of your postings and none of what you write is satire at all. It always seems to happen!
Keep thinking Chris. That’s what you’re good at.
