Matthews: Remember when US had a real leader, like … George W. Bush?
Hot Air ^ | September 12, 2013 | Ed Morrissey

Looks like Chris Matthews isn’t going to get a tingle over Barack Obama’s latest pivot. On last night’s Hardball, Matthews ripped Obama for a lack of leadership and focus, complaining that the President jumps from issue to issue with no particular purpose or plan. Matthews even went so far as to suggest that he misses George W. Bush … a little, anyway (via Jen Rubin on Twitter):

I was watching a history channel show called Gatekeepers.

Yes, I watched it too. I was struck by the fact that each CoS had the freedom to boost their particular boss. That, and the fact that each segment was segregated from the other CoS's. I have a feeling that Cheney's opinion on the brilliance of Bill Clinton might be a tad different than Mack McLarty's.

I'm hoping that tonight's show will have some sort of round table where the CoS's get together to hash out what each President's action's did to handcuff/hamper the next one.

It won't happen, but one can dream...

Matthews is JUST NOW noticing the Clown has no focus?? Has Matthews noticed gas, food, and jobs destruction increasing since his leg tingling hero seized power??

Matthews 'misses' bad economic news OR finds a way to blame Republicans for it... Strange guy.

Tingles may not be kissing anything but oh dark won’s butt, but the jerk is still wiping his chin on a regular basis. He is just too much in love to turn back now.

I will never vote for another RINO again - ever. Not ever. They can put that b**** Hilloary in the White House if they try to pull another McCain/Romney stunt.

My differences with GWB aside, I couldn’t help but think that at least this horrific attack happened when we still had grown-ups in charge at the WH.

Grown ups, maybe. Competent managers... Not so much. A competent manager would have, at the very least, fired enough people on 9/12 to raise the national unemployment rate by a full percentage point.

No man who occupies the Oval Office is perfect.

Often it seems like perfection is what people are looking for.

George W. was one of the finest man to occupy the WH. His administration was scandal free despite the left having to lie to create scandals like Scooter Libby. The financial crisis of '08 was more about investors seeing a socialist on the horizon than about Bush. Bush presided over a flourishing economy despite 2 wars.

We were blessed to have Pres. Bush and I pray the Almighty would give us more leaders of his type.

Remember the Bush-bots like OWF posting the ‘miss Bush yet?’ nonsense?

Funny that its the Dems who now see Bush in a way more favorable light, typical too.

Chris Mathews' new theme song.

"Thrill is gone

The thrill is gone away

The thrill is gone, baby

The thrill is gone away

You know you done me wrong, baby

And you'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone

It's gone away from me

The thrill is gone, baby

The thrill is gone away from me

<> Although, I'll still live on

But so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone

It's gone away for good

The thrill is gone, baby

It's gone away for good

Someday I know I'll be open armed, baby

Just like I know a good man should

You know I'm free, free now, baby

I'm free from your spell

Oh, I'm free, free, free now

I'm free from your spell

And now that it's all over

All I can do is wish you well

Ya know...

Things have TRULY taken the off-ramp to “The Bizzaro Highway” when Tingles Matthews is pining for the Good Ol’ Days of Dubya...

I guess Tingles Bromance with Obie-One is over; evidently, “once you go Black, you CAN go back,” it would seem...

Just sayin’, is all....
