Believe it or not, he’s not just spinning here. He’s sincerely criticizing Obama for some of his dopier decisions lately; he just can’t help letting his admiration for The One get in the way and filter it as a matter of excess virtue. None of the problems he cites are necessarily — or actually — the product of too much deep thinkin’. Obama’s bow to Akihito was, in fact, stupid since it had the opposite intended effect. His deliberations on Afghanistan are fine, but should have been conducted six months ago given McChrystal’s warning that the war would be lost within a year. The KSM decision is dumb not only because it’ll give archterrorists a media platform (as Matthews himself acknowledges) but because it’s completely incoherent from the standpoint of due process. Obama’s problem isn’t that he’s too thoughtful, in other words; thoughtfulness is all to the good. It’s that he’s indecisive, slow to move on public priorities that don’t coincide with his agenda, and too eager to be liked abroad. A self-critical intellectual could correct all of that. How ’bout it, champ?

Ping.
Or is Chris Matthews just too darned STUPID?
I'll bow to that!!!
Matthews is an idiot.
Obama is a failure as a president. It’s a long way from being a community organizer.
Chris Matthews: Is Obama just too darned ineffectual ?
There, I fixed it.
“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.”
- Ronald Reagan.
And that one held up the line.
FAIL!
Intellectuals would release their transcripts from college!
First, there is denial.
Second, there is pain.
Third, there is anger.
Fourth, there is depression.
Fifth, there is reconstruction.
Sixth, there is acceptance.
Both!
The President is book-centric ... Das Kapital. As well as self-centric.
Matthews is blind as a bat and his radars is off. Oh and self-centric.
Self-centric - that’s why they get along so well and why they can be at odds with each other. Any idea which ‘cat’ will win this fight?
I don’t know what I will do when Mathews comes out and calls zero a...ah...zero!
Visions of Jimmah Carter. Chrissy was just saying the same thing about Jimmah a few weeks ago.
Chrissy probably thinks Al Gore, and his million degree temps 2 miles below our feet, is too intellectual as well.
A faux “intellectual” is no substitute for documentation.
WHERE IS HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
Hey, maybe that would make a good campaign slogan AGAINST him in 2012:
“obama - just too darned SMART to be a decent president!”
I think that was Bush’s..., yeah that was George Bush’s problem... too intellectual for those at MSNBC... that’s obviously why they didn’t understand him.
“Indecisive”? That’s mild. He hasn’t made one proposal of legislation since taking office. He has delegated that to Congress which can’t get anything right. This is the same guy who never took a stance on any key legislation when in the Illinois Senate (He voted “Present” most of the time). How would you like to have this guy as your Commander in Combat? I think that equals “Dead”.
Wonder if Chrissy has any real proof of that? The public sure doesn’t. We don’t even know if Obama exists. He may be a robot for all we know.
Yes, there are plenty of people who have high IQs and academic degrees, yet lack any common sense.
Obama, however, is not one of them.
He doesn’t HAVE a high IQ OR common sense, contrary to every assumption of the press.
He’s a lousy speaker, he can’t write, and he’s a C student, who has never done a day’s work in his life.
The thing is, all these media talking heads think that THEY are very smart. They are not. They wouldn’t know the difference between a brain and a rock, because they haven’t any brains themselves.
lol
That’s what you get when somebody that has zero executive experience get elected to the most important executive position in the world.
No, tingling leg, Obama is an ideologically drive lightweight, and only nitwits like you think he is any sort of intellectual, or above average intellect.
That’s what you get when somebody that has zero executive experience get elected to the most important executive position in the world.
The universities and colleges of America are packed with the same kind of intellectuals like the one who now infests er inhabits the White House. Every last one of them thinks they’re smarter than everyone else and that Marxism just hasn’t been done right yet. They’ll get it right. (smirk)
Obama is the Ultimate Intellectual. He knows everything there is to know about absolutely nothing.
That’s great! :)
I don't agree with Bill about much (can't think of anything!) but I think Bill Clinton is smart and doesn't need a teleprompter to talk all day looooong about any subject! Barrack can't string two sentences together without TOTUS.
I bet GWB's I.Q. is higher than BO's.
I'll bet Slick Willy laughs himself sick when he reads reports and looks at pictures of The Great Spreader's latest misadventures.
All those leg tingles have cut off the circulation to chrissy’s brain.
I think I am having a Senior moment. I am actually wishing that Hillarey would have won.
Chrissy is too stupid to realize that O doesn’t make decisions. They’re all made for him by his puppet masters. This sometimes makes him appear decisive.
•delusion - (psychology) an erroneous belief that is held in the face of evidence to the contrary
For example, Obama's delay in making a decision on Afghanistan is a way of terrorizing our troops (by hurting their morale) just as the Air Force One fly-over and the decision to try KSM in downtown Manhattan terrorizes the people in NYC who are still trying to heal from the trauma of 9/11.
The scribblers on the left haven't had this much fun since JFK. It's sort of like a revival of Camelot, this time with two blacks in the leading roles. Tres chic!
Hey Cwithy, how many books did you sell?? Guess nobody cares what you think.
Pray for America’s Freedom
Chris, you’re dumber than cat pooh!
Chris, Obama’s “popularty abroad” is because n Europe they WANT TO SEE A WEAK AMERICA”. Obama is WEAK and EVIL. They like this. Abroad they are ENVIOUS of AMERICA.

Obama Draws Fire for Bow to Japanese Emperor
by FOXNews.com
A photograph shows President Obama bent at a nearly 90-degree angle while shaking the hand of Japanese Emperor Akihito.
...
Instead of denying the gesture, an administration official defended it, telling Politico.com that Obama “observes protocol” and that the greeting “enhanced both the position and the status of the U.S. relative to Japan” — where a bow is just another version of a handshake
They are so dam DUMB and ARROGANT they argue that this s PROPER!
...
“When you’re representing the United States of America, everything speaks ... on behalf of our country,” Eyring said. “It’s a visual. It shows more of a subservient look.”
...
Even “Miss Manners,” while perhaps not the guiding force for the president’s travel team, wrote two decades ago that, “One does not bow or curtsy to a foreign monarch because the gesture symbolizes recognition of her power over her subjects.”
Following the encounter with the Saudi King, The Washington Times declared it a “shocking display of fealty” and an “extraordinary protocol violation.”
Likewise, Obama’s latest bow has critics fuming. One blogger called the act “treasonous.”
And a headline in a Los Angeles Times blog asked: “How Low Will He Go?”

Obama is worse than embarassing.

What Obama LIKES is visualizing HIM as an EMPEROR.
The only problem is, Obama is the EMPEROR with NO CLOTHES!
0bama is too pseudo-intellectual. And even morons, when they catch on, can’t stand a pretentious idiot pretending to be smart. 0bama just can’t keep from talking down to all of us lesser mortals. Once it becomes popular to hate the guy things will get really ugly with the polls.
When this ass*** finally wakes up and realzes why they lke him abroad ... like other liberals he will OVER REACT. Liberals are THIN SKINNED and ILLOGICAL. Right now Obama doesn’t realize that he is a an EVIL JOKE.
When the truth is he got them through affirmative action, and thus are as worthless as that honorary black belt the zero just got.
In the real world our “intellectual” mind boggling CIC couldn’t sell dollars on the street corner for 50 cents.
Course by the time he’s finished they’ll be worth even less so I digress.
Personally, I rate Obama slightly below average, and his ADD further lowers his ability to use what he has.....
hh
0bama has degrees? Hmmmmm, I don’t know, haven’t seen them.
The only thing that is truly apparent is “Tingle Leg” Mathews doesn’t suffer from too much intelligence.
