Matthews Hits Hillary For Denying Photo Showed Her Having Emotional Reaction To Osama Attack
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/05/2011 7:11:11 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On his MSNBC show this evening, Chris Matthews criticized Hillary's lack of "humanity" for denying that, in the photo of her in the Situation Room during the attack on Bin Laden, she was having an emotional reaction. Matthews played video of Hillary suggesting that rather than reacting in horror, she was merely stifling a cough. Riiight.

On the one hand, Hillary richly deserved Matthews' wrist-rap for her blatantly phony explanation. Madame 3 AM obviously didn't want to be seen to be looking weak. But still, it was surprising to witness the harsh terms with which Matthews went after Clinton. Yo Chris, your guy pounded her in the primaries. Chill!

Take that photo to any 6th grade class and ask them who is the leader here? Who is in charge? They would all say the General.

Obama would tie with that girl in the back peeping over shoulders. lol

Commander in Chief lol

By his clothes, poster, and demeanor, he looks more like he is only there to clean up once the gig is over. He looks like the least important person in the room. He made a mistake sitting next to the general. It really highlights what a dufus nothing he really is.

“Thought she was getting an idea

talent of our military. After all,
it’s not often she gets to see
real men in action.”

I’m probably wrong, but that was the impression I had. She seemed concerned, perhaps even worried about their safety. Of course, didn’t she treat them as butlers while in the WH?

Who knows. But I’m sure those courageous men put all those in the room, who knew they were being photographed, to shame.

Obama looks like a frightened child. The person of importance appears to be the military man in front of the computer in the center of the room, at the head of the table. (I apologize for not knowing his name).

No offense, I am not a fan of Hillary by any stretch, but when I see that picture of her, I don’t really see an emotional reaction. I see someone thinking about what they are seeing, not necessarily an OMG moment. Besides it’s Hillary. She’s a pretty calculating gal. Not too much phases her since Vince Foster. She looks like she could be watching something intently, I do not believe it is an emotional reaction.

Matthews is firing a shot across her bow. “Don’t even think about running in 2012, Hillary, or you will be taken out”.

Nobody here had stated the fact yet that Leon Panetta said yesterday paraphrasing: ‘Why, we were in the dark during the whole time of the raid, there was a 25 minute blackout of the video, we didn’t know what went on until the mission was over”

So could Hillary react one way or the other?

"Why does Hussein look like he is sitting on the floor?"

It's because he broke his high chair and he is sitting on the floor..

I think she was choking on a pork chop bone from that platter of chops sitting on her laptop.

Actually she eked out a minimalist Rove scale win. Then the delegates gave it to BO.

It certainly isn't the twinkie sitting in the corner with a look on his face that says, "OMG, I might be next on the target list!"

Looks can definitely be deceiving in the case of the "peeker". That "girl" (perhaps she is older than she looks) is Audrey F. Tomasen. She is- Director of Counterterrorism in the Executive Office of the President.

To quote Wikipedia-"She now runs the CIA's Global Jihad unit, the counterterrorism squad dedicated to hunting down al-Qaida worldwide. She regularly briefs Panetta, making her an influential voice in Obama's intelligence circle."

Well, next time you see her, tell her I am very well traveled, have spent many years in the M.E. and am a pretty good analyst. I even speak a few of their languages. I am available for an interview at her convenience. Just Freepmail me. lol

This is the normal reaction of someone who is watching unarmed people being shot.

Not allergies, not a cough, not concern for the soldiers, not looking at a black screen, just a normal human reaction at seeing what was happening.

Hillary's “reaction” was not out of line, but I do think she should have either not responded to reporters questions or told the truth. Matthews is an @ss, or should I say, Matthews continues to be an @ss.

How about they are all tacky unprofessional idiots that release of picture of them gawking at such a thing? How about they are idiotic beyond words and Biden blabbing what specific special forces did the Op is not even funny anymore.

How about Obama milking this for every photo op imaginable dominating the news thinking this will help him win re election when he could not properly lead his way out of a sealed paper bag?
