Looks like Chris Matthews is actually disappointed in Barack Obama, but only in the sense that he's worried Obama isn't moving to the left fast enough. Throughout Monday night's "Hardball," after reciting recent appointments like Robert Gates, Jim Jones and yes even Hillary Clinton, Matthews repeatedly asked his guests questions like: "What happened to the victory of change, and I hate to use the phrase, the Left? Who won this election?" and "Why do we have no lefties in this cabinet?"
Matthews even invited on two "lefties," Tim Carpenter of Progressive Democrats of America and David Corn of The Nation, to blast Obama for not going left enough and offered them regular spots on his show to "Keep the guy [Obama] where he ought to be."
A little later in the program, Matthews had on Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg news and Roger Simon of the Politico and fretted about his perception that there weren't enough leftists in the cabinet: "Why no lefties? Why nobody that talks like Barack Obama talked when he got elected?"

Maybe Chrissy can offer himself up as undersecretary of the presidential desk.
Cwissy is cwying
It would be cheaper and better for our nation if we would just gift every liberal with $500k per family if they would only move to Europe, where their dreams would all come true.
Then we could live in the nation our founding fathers wanted us to.
Matthews, like most leftwing freakazoids, mistakenly thinks that he is a centrist. Being to the left of Matthews makes someone waaay deep into the extreme mental illness of the psycho-left.
The whole stinking crew are lefties. What’s Cwissy bawling about?
Matthews is smarter than he spits.
They are ALL lefties in the cabinet...gheeze!
Is the tingle gone???????????????????
Simple - Obama IS the leftie!
The tingle up the leg is gone?
So the lefties actually BELIEVED those promises?!?!?!?
You had to know, as the Dems threw the anti-war crowd overboard before the election, that they’d soon throw others overboard as well.
Due to the cards dealt him, Obama will:
- keep the troops in Iraq
- Double down in Afghanistan, which will indeed become a quagmire
- be forced to cut the size and scope of government due to the effects of the $Paulson$ bailout
I am surprised at the number of Clinton holdovers that Obama is appointing. Obviously, he wants to avoid rocking the boat.
Obama doesn’t want to stir up controversy, so he’s played it safe so far. I wasn’t expecting that of him.

Obama is so far left, he makes his cabinet loxok like righties.
It's all a smokescreen to knock the Conservatives off-guard.
Keep up the vitriol and animosity as they did for 8 years.
