MSNBC’s Matthews Finds Obama’s Weakness: He’s ‘Too Darned Intellectual’
Newsbusters.org ^ | 11-20-09 | Kyle Drennan

At the top of Friday’s Hardball on MSNBC, host Chris Matthews discovered the reason for President Obama’s political difficulties in recent months: “President Obama has his chin out on just about every hot issue out there....He’s exposed and vulnerable. His poll numbers are dropping. Is he just too darned intellectual? Too much the egg head?”

Later in the show, Matthews talked to Atlantic Media’s Ron Brownstein and USA Today’s Susan Page about Obama’s great flaw. He began by wondering: “I’m not attacking intellectuals because I do appreciate their contribution – but when politicians begin to get a little too intellectual, they lose connection with the American people....I begin to think this administration’s getting almost like one that you would imagine Adlai Stevenson running. Highly ethereal, highly intellectual, egg head. Not connected to real people and their emotional gut feelings about things.”

As always Matthews never fails to come up short. They said the same thing about Adlai Stevenson: too intellectual...egghead...after he lost to Eisenhower, thank God btw.

The liberal trope is always the same: the masses need us because they are too stupid on their own, but we need them to pull our fat from the fire when our brilliance backfires and blows up in our faces.

This explains why he can’t read without a teleprompter, it’s above his paygrade.

No Chrissy, the problem is that you are too stupid.

Obama has had everything, including the Presidency of the USA, handed to him through affirmative action. That’s why he thinks foreign leaders and dictators will go along with his fantasies. But foreigners don’t do AA. Gitmo, Iran, Afghanistan, China; the list just gets longer as Obama travels, apologizes and gets told no over and over again.

I agree - 0 and his administration are “book smart” (in that liberal way that guarantees neurosis and psychopathy), but not ‘real-world smart.’

Matthews’ subtext is that HE is intellectual enough to notice Obama’s intellectual level.

It’s a little like comparing penis sizes in the boys’ locker room.
