Chris Matthews Says Obama Has Finally Met His Match...Video
The Blaze ^ | Oct. 1, 2013 | Becket Adams

Posted on 10/02/2013 6:41:59 AM PDT by Hotlanta Mike

MSNBC host Chris Matthews said Tuesday that President Obama has finally met his match in Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

Yes, the same person he has referred to as a political “terrorist” and compared to notorious Nazi sympathizer Father Coughlin.

Matthews’ comments were made shortly after he referred to the Texas senator’s Obamacare defund strategy as “brilliant.”

“I think Ted Cruz is brilliant,” Matthews said Tuesday morning during a discussion on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“The president has met his match in this guy. He set this thing up months ago with no budget agreement, therefore no appropriations, therefore the government would be completely exposed this morning, at midnight last night, to completely shut down. He knows what he’s doing,” he adds.

The MSNBC host added that one thing in particular made Cruz’s strategy “brilliant”: Going after Obamacare.

“It’s about the baby, Obama’s baby,” Matthews said, referring to President Obama’s landmark health care overhaul. “You can’t cut the baby in half.”

Well, we DO KNOW the academic records and birth origins of Ted Cruz. We don´t know anything about the other.

Obama will have met his match when he is in prison.

“You can’t cut the baby in half.”

Why not? Liberals would. Certainly Øbama would, as evidenced by his past Sinatorial voting.

Obama already cut the baby in half when he delayed the mandate for businesses and handed out exemptions to every Democrat voter block who wanted one....

I don’t have enough info on Cruz to know if he’s Obama’s match or not. Just how good a golfer is Ted Cruz?

Just because he may be correct in this one regard doesn’t negate the fact that Chris Matthews is an idiot.

Same Leftist “praise” that Snake Head Carville expressed about a month ago. They are hoping that conservatives will take the bait that Sen. Cruz is in this fight for his own political ambitions...as though this brilliant lawyer needed to take a pay cut to go to D.C. and be pilloried by the Left 24/7. Ted Cruz is sacrificing much to take on the ungodly.

yep, Rubio shot his wad on what he thought would endear himself to a hispanic demographic... instead of being a conservatives, he bought into DC politics and tried to play their game... kind’a like a Christian becoming a drunk so as to convert a drunk, it don’t work. The best he can do now is to get on board the Cruz train and work for a winner... just what the hell was he thinking when he joined with McCain and Lindsey?

To state that obama has met his match is to imply that obama has excelled in a particular field and that he has finally met someone who is his equal or better. Only problem with that is, I can’t think of any particular field in which obama has excelled...except maybe community organizing and stirring up class and group hatred.

Dear Chris,

Osamba and Cruz? A “match”? Hardly. What has Brack ever “set up” by himself? With crayons he who is the puppet voted present, both then and now.

Obama phones it in. Cruz leads. Period.

Hey, he was the affirmative action choice for President of the Harvard Law Review. And post graduation he went back to community organizing because he was such a legal intellectual dynamo...

“It’s about the baby, Obama’s baby,” Matthews said, referring to President Obama’s landmark health care overhaul.

matthews has used this twisted infant imagery when referring to ACA since the very early days of the thing. it's sick, it's perverted, and it betrays a genuinely deranged mindset.

his "protect legislation as you would an infant" parallel also has another obvious defect; he's has no problem with infanticide.

Only in a liberal’s distorted mind...

One of the things I used to tell my engineers (~35) when I was working full time was that he or she could accomplish great things if they believed in what they did AND if they were not solely concentrated on taking credit for it.

Cruz believes, and I believe he is not only willing to NOT take credit for success, but IS willing to take on the hardship and/or consequences.

In this regard, we have damned pitiful few people like this on our side in the Congress - either side.
