Try to keep a straight face when you hear this: President Barack Obama isn't getting enough media love.
That's the world view of MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews - at least when it comes to the economy. According to Matthews, there has been a plethora of positive economic news - from a stock market that has shrugged off the threat of bad liberal policy, i.e. cap-and-trade or ObamaCare, to the actions of newly reappointed Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke of pumping liquidity into the economy.
"What do you make of this whole thing about the good economic news out there the president gets no credit for?" Matthews said on his Aug. 25 show. "I'm in the stock market. I have suffered like others before and I have seen this comeback - back up to almost 10,000 now. He gets nothing for this. The fact that consumer confidence, which was once closer to the bone, is way up. The fact that the Fed chair has done such a good job in pumping up the money supply and pumping back the economy, and averting a Great Depression - no credit."

We should be kissing the ground the Bamster walks on...
Did he want tingling above the leg?
I’m sure Chrissy will be FIRST in line to ‘love up’ on Zero.
Mathews has become America’s village idiot...
Excuse me while I throw up!
No village would claim him...
Well, it’s nice of Obama make everything perfect in the economic world. But ... in 6 months time, when we look at a devastating economic landscape — are we going to blame Bush for that?
I am thankful that I have never seen PMSNBC, much less Mr. pee on himself.
How does a fool like this live with himself?
Damn! There was a recovery and I missed it? Must have happened during a couple seconds while I was asleep.
Any economic activity is in spite of..not because of .. Obama.
Hey Tingles-Obama bulldozed the house down to put out the fire in the frying pan. This dummy turned a disaster into a catastrophe and reinflated the economic bubble.
Maybe it’s because the economy has come back to Carter’s 10% unemployment.
Wasn't there a "night of passion" Obama with another guy in a limo?
Hmmmm. . .
Wonder if Michelle has figured it out yet.
Obviously a rascist comment.
Given that the economy is taking, unemployment figures are planned to surge, the health care bill is a disaster - he wouldn’t say that about a white Republican with the same results - so he’s obviously a rascist.
Chrissy, if you'd get up off your knees and look over your shoulder you's see a long line of media whores waitng to take their turn
Is Matthews on crack? What good news? Just because the stock market is going up doesn't mean a thing as far as getting a job, keeping your house or imposing crushing debt on our children.
To quote Barney Frank: Chris, what planet do you live on?
Well, something like that.
