Chris Matthews: Let’s face it, the GOP forced Obama to the left

Via Greg Hengler, give the man credit: Amid the cacophony of dreary, rote Democratic excuses for the election — “messaging” is and forever shall remain my favorite — he’s got something novel going with this one. On the basics of it, that somehow Republicans thwarted Obama’s burning desire to be the post-partisan pragmatist of David Brooks’s dreams, here’s a little reminder from Day Four of the Obama presidency about just how serious The One was about compromise:

The top congressional leaders from both parties gathered at the White House for a working discussion over the shape and size of President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan. The meeting was designed to promote bipartisanship.

But Obama showed that in an ideological debate, he’s not averse to using a jab.

Challenged by one Republican senator over the contents of the package, the new president, according to participants, replied: “I won.”…

Reagan had the trickle down economy.

Obama tinkled down our backs.

............................... nevermind.

Matthews has so swallowed the poison and is such a total believer in the deity of “The One”, that he simply cannot believe that his god could fail.

Hissy Crissy knows damned well that Obama is a self-described Communist. Crissy just wants his boyfriend to be liked.

Do we need any further proof that Matthews is totally disconnected from reality?

Chris, How is it possible to suggest that the person with the most liberal voting record in the Senate could possibly be moved further to the left by ANY outside force?

Let’s face it... Chris “Tingle” Matthews is ten cards short of a full deck.

But Chris praised Alinsky as a hero of his, too. Just like Obama.
This must be one of those ‘two minutes of hate’ episodes.

[TigersEye]

Any rationalization will do as long as it isn’t personal responsibility for your own actions, eh Chrissy?

[pabianice]

I understand that Tea Partiers will gather in DC next week and attempt to levitate the White House with their hate!

Hey Crissy-babby... that thrill going up your leg wasn’t because Obey was a moderate... it was because he was, and still is, a communist, like yourself...
