"WTF?"

All you really need to know about MSNBC is that Matthews isn’t the first host on the network to make this claim. This isn’t some special fever dream born of one too many leg tingles. This is, to some degree, network groupthink.
And the point, now as before, is to create a special standard for Precious that spares him from the crap that other presidents routinely deal with. It’s a corollary to RodeoClownGate: Bush was delegitimized in vicious and sometimes violent ways (Nazi comparisons, chimp imagery, heavy-breathing about Diebold and the 2004 election, etc), but a guy in an Obama mask being chased around a ring by a bull was national news for days. The double standard extends to terminology, too. “Bush tax cuts” is a fact of political life, but back in the early days of our new health-care boondoggle, the term “ObamaCare” was dismissed as derogatory by liberals ranging from Jon Stewart to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Eventually they stopped fighting it because, I guess, the term had stuck, with even O deciding to use it, but the impulse was there. Special rules for The One.
Anyway: Give me a name. If there’s some deliberate effort by a prominent conservative to refrain from calling Obama “President Obama” or “the president,” that should be easy enough to prove. Sift through the transcripts of their last 10 or 20 public remarks about O and, if the honorific is conspicuously missing, that’s a good sign that it’s been left out intentionally. Who is it, supposedly, that insists as a rule on calling Obama by his name instead of by his title? Ted Cruz? Rand Paul? Rush Limbaugh? Sean Hannity? Like I say, easy to prove in theory. It won’t be.

Roll the tape on how many times Chrissie said “Bush” on air .....
"WTF?"
The honorific “Mr President” is missing for a reason, and it’s not because 0bama’s half black and half white. It’s because he’s an empty suit.
When you only have a few brain cells left, each one matters.
I distinctly remember many democrats refusing to call GWB by his name referenced with President. In fact, they were deliberately instructed to refer to him as “THIS president.”
What about “W”?
Because heaven knows President Bush was never simply called “Bush” by any prominent leftists...
(insert graphic of rolled eyes)
And Chimpy McBushHitler was a sign of love, honor and respect.
Maybe Chrissy can tell everyone Obama’s real name then
Matthews is a gay bath house whore............
Not enough tape in the world.
He’s an agent of the dark side....of course the vast majority of Freepers would never believe who the “dark side” really is.....
Alright, just call him Barak Hussein.
Liberal thinking does that to you. They attempt to apply logic to the illogical and morality to the immoral and it burns out what few nerve synapses they have left.
Nah, this is tequila crazy..............
He should check in here for some of Jughead’s other names ......
This is my brand now, on those rare occasions I can afford it.
