Matthews Declares Obama Speech ‘Churchillian’—Before It’s Delivered

Posted on 02/24/2009 5:22:30 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

The thrill is back! Chris Matthews got a Churchillian frisson from the Obama speech–even before the president delivered it.

During the Hardball pre-game, Matthews declared this to guests Pat Buchanan and Larry O’Donnell:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Here’s the key line, I think, though there will be others. “The day of reckoning has arrived,” this is Senator, this is President Obama. “The day of reckoning has arrived. The time to take charge of our future is here.” This is Churchillian.

Buchanan had a telling retort . . .

Is it too late to ask Britain for the Churchill bust that President nothing sent back as an insult?

Matthews Declares Obama Speech ‘Churchillian’

Good Lord, Matthews is so stupid he can't spell "Orwellian".

Obamachev just banished a bust of Churchill from the Oval Office. Mathews choice of Churchillian to describe a Stalinist is certainly ironic.

“Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy. The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent vice of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”

Winston Churchill

Why not just compare the yet delivered speech to the Sermon on the Mount?

The Messiah is to deliver the Sermon on the Hill.

One of these days Mathews is going to chase Obama down the White house hallway, leap frog on top of him, sniff his ass and declare it smells like roses.

If he breaks out into a variation of :

Go down, Moses,
Way down in Egypt’s Land.
Tell ol’ Pharoah,
Let my people go.

We are in real trouble.

Obama doesn’t think highly of Churchill. They sent his bust back to England! Michelle probably didn’t want to look at that cracker. /s

Obama may not appreciate the comparison since he sent the bust of Churchill back to Britain that had been on loan to the US since 9/11/01.

The Brits didn’t request it back, and offered to let us keep it for an extended period. Obama reportedly told them, “Thanks, but no thanks”.

Will he mark his territory before of after he sniffs his ass?

Didn't the messiah ship Churchill's bust back to England?
