Chris Matthews has said a lot of sycophantic and juvenile things in defense of the Obama administration but he deserves credit for this.
He called for professionals to take over from sycophants. Suggesting, I guess, amateurs ran the asylum. And it showed. It showed on Benghazi, it shows on the economy, it shows on domestic issues.
This is sober and mature conversation among liberals here.
They are absolutely correct (though they continue to underplay Benghazi) and pretty much echos what libertarians/conservatives are arguing. Obama achieved unity alright; just not the way he intended. He managed to unite the angst and alienate his 'allies" in the press.
Impressive.
No wonder whistle-blowers are stepping up.
In other clip Matthews asked:
"what part of the Presidency does Obama like? He doesn't like dealing with other politicians; that means his own cabinet, members of Congress of either party, he doesn't like dealing with the press....he doesn't like lobbying for the bills he cares about, he doesn't like selling to the press...he doesn't seem to like to be an executive."
This is not the first I hear of this. It's out there and have heard it from numerous insiders who are frank with the fact he's indifferent, cold and aloof with people. Eleonore Clift, another liberal sycophant in the press, admitted as much on the McLaughlin Group a couple of months back - that he didn't like "politicking." To which I wondered, why did he run for office then? It might explain his penchant for blaming others for his troubles; he's plain to aloof or lazy to seize the god damn strings and lead.
The irony is, for all his calls to stop playing cynical political games, that's exactly what he excels at it seems.
I'm afraid they're screwed. Obama is simply not a leader. He's no Reagan - a President he often references and quotes.
Not good. Worse than Bush.
He's lost the plot.
Finally, people on his side are questioning authority. This is healthy. And no cries of racism to boot!

Krugman, for his part, needs to man up and quit defending failed economic policies. As if!
On the other hand, Lawrence O'Donnell is choosing instead to spin and pretend.
Seriously, buddy. It's over. Give it up or become irrelevant.
/face palm. Loses eye sight.
