This week, MSNBC “star” Chris Matthews made the following statement, clearly speaking out of frustration as he watched President Obama wilt under the scrutiny of the second presidential debates where he was challenged repeatedly by Republican Mitt Romney.
“I don’t think he understands the Constitution of the United States…He’s the president of the United States. You don’t say, ‘you’ll get your chance.’”
Chris Matthews was angry with Romney challenging the president on his record during the course of an election to unseat him.
Imagine that.
Matthews should be angry about the president’s poor performance not with Romney’s tenaciousness in seeking the truth.
But here's the truth, that Matthews hasn't seemed to have learned: the respect you give is the respect you get. If the president wants respect than he better stop acting like a potentate and more like a president of the United States. Romney gave the president the respect he deserved at the debates and during the course of the election.
You would think Matthews would know what is in the Constitution and what is not.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it set forth that a president of the United States is above the people and cannot and should not be challenged. Is that not what a presidential election is all about – challenging an incumbent president on his record?
The Founding Fathers specifically limited the powers of the president and did not exempt a president from abiding by the laws of the land in the same manner and to the same extent as the average citizen.
America was founded because of our dissatisfaction with a monarchy run by kings and queens who were above the people. The problem is that Matthews thinks that not only he is above the people but President Obama should be as well.

Matthews is a leg humping idiot.
I swear Matthews is gonna show up on air in a little girl summer dress one of these days.
Matthews has an impossible task. Every day he has to say something more bizarre..more insane...than he said yesterday.
“You would think Matthews would know what is in the Constitution and what is not.”
I wouldn’t think that. Would you think that? Would anyone here think that?
...he’s recovering from the stroke Odungo gave him...
He was referring to the “Living Constitution”. You know the one: the blank piece of paper that he fills in with whatever he wants.
“Hmmmm...Article II, Section 1: if the president makes my leg tingle, he shall never be challenged. He will be addressed as ‘His Excellency President for Life’...yeah, that’s about right...”
UH!
Photoshop alert...braids please.
Maybe he attended that teacher’s class.......you know the one, the one who told a student he could get arrested for speaking out against Obama?
Chris, “the two fisted Drunk”...is letting his “Slip” show...
This Partizan retard is comming unglued as we speak...
Obama’s Epic Failure...is Christina’s Failure and He cant stand the pressure as His Propped up Messiah deflates into
Electoral Oblivion.....Harr! Harr!
Chris you are a Media Bitch..a Punk Bitch.
This truly displays a difference in mindset between liberals and conservatives.
Liberals have no self-reliance. They want to be ruled. They want to be controlled and pampered on the taxpayer dime, and hang the expense, because they are afraid of freedom and the responsibility that comes with it. And they want to drag us down with them to utter ruin.

What planet is this moron from????
He can’t be serious.
I’d say Chrissy agrees with Woody Allen that Barry should be given a dictatorship.
It’s a good thing we’re coming to the finish line. I swear Chrissie is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I don’t think he’ll be able to stand the pressure much longer.
If this maroon believes this...we need to do a rewind to the Bush admin.
Yep. Matthews is running out of stupid.
Hows that tingle up your leg now Chris? It looks like its from you peeing in your pants.
I’m going to do something I hardly ever do: on election night I am going to watch MSNBC and CNN. I am going to thoroughly enjoy watching these pathetic libturds as they ‘report’ on the demise of their precious Zero.
Last time I tuned in was the night of the Wisconsin Recall. SWEET.
Chris, you can say whatever you want about Mitt Romney, but we’re not going to sit here and let you badmouth the United States of America! Gentlemen!
It’s going to be fun election night, watching his meltdown!
Sorry Chrissy, I can’t find that part of the Constitution which
addresses how presidents are to be addressed in a debate.
Maybe the relevant section is hidden in a Chicago YMCA locker
along with Obama’s college records and his birth certificate.
Obama isn’t the f-ing KING, you a$$hole.
Is this a recent edition of the Constitution to which Matthews is referring? ;o) He clearly didn’t think that when George W. Bush was President.
Liberals like the tingling leg humper Hissy Crissy have never read the Constitution.
WHile this is funny to us, and a source of comedy. Consider one thing everybody. His view is not that different than large numbers of Obama supporters.
If this is how they view him, they see him above criticism. He is a Fuhrer, a dear leader.
The question becomes what would such people do to save his reelection? Fraud? Voter fraud? These people would literally kill the opposition IF they could figure out how to avoid the consequences. It isn’t that they could never do it. Our nation has never been in a more dangereous place.
He’s getting the Constitution mixed up with the edicts of a king.
cheeky devil, aint he?
Makes me wonder what Matthews thinks the Constitution says or means. It does not contain rules for presidential debates. Also this makes me wonder if Matthews thinks that the President is an absolute monarch.
On Matthewa' other point, that the parties agreed that the candidates would not ask questions, I don't know, maybe he is right about that.
My God, how I hope you are right!
Those are funny thoughts. He seems to believe that O should be a absolute monarch while he clearly thought that GWB was dog-poop on his heal.
What he is saying is that Romney took away Os First Amendment right to keep talking without interruption
that only applies to the first black Democrat POTUS who sends a tingle up his leg.
I study these libs to explain these things to you friends :)
Matthews is an IDIOT!!!
chris matthews et al think obama is king of the US
Mathews is an idiot in the Biden mold
Chrssy would have a heart attack if he heard what I would like to tell that Muslim SOB.
he must be talking about a different constitution.
On Matthewa’ other point, that the parties agreed that the candidates would not ask questions, I don’t know, maybe he is right about that.
So that would explain the 29 interruptions by Mr Obama. Matthews is a nutcase hack for a 4th rate network.
Ah come on...Matthews has never read the Constitution much less has any idea of how to interpret it. It’s all about results to him. Ignore him as most of America does and lets get on with serious questions...like why is Obama still President? Why hasn’t he been impeached? Why does Matthews still have a tingle up his leg. Does he still have to go to the bathroom?
Chris Matthews is a certifiable nutcase. His cheerleading for Obozo has gone from merely annoying to outright lunacy.
Toss him into a rubber room before he hurts himself.
Matthews sat right in back of the speaker’s stand at the Al Smith dinner last night and was on camera most of the evening - he looked miserable - I think it’s dawning on him that Obama is about cooked.......
How do people like Matthews get their jobs? I realize that half the population has an IQ of 100 or less, but is it a requirement that they choose from that half for news anchors? It’s like the networks have become a vast welfare program for keeping village idiots off the street.
Heh! Well put and so true!
