Chris Matthews on Friday said that Hosni Mubarak's exit from Egypt and the jubilation now happening in Tahrir Square took Barack Obama to have happen.
As soon as he said it on the 5PM installment of MSNBC's "Hardball," the host quipped, "His critics will probably say, 'Yeah, we knew this was coming'” (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: You know, gentlemen, I’m a little bit jubilant right now, a little bit frisky so I’ll say something that will bother people. But if you have, a lot of the people in this country think the President of the United States is Muslim, which he’s not, he’s Christian. They think he’s foreign born, which he’s not, he’s American born. But they have this attitude about him, the people on the right a lot of them, right? And here he is, and he comes into office, and this jubilant situation in Eqypt, with the first time in our lives we get to see people from the Arab world in a very positive democratic setting. Not as terrorists or not as people fighting Israel, or whatever. Not mouthing epithets against the West, but people like us.
DAVID CORN, MOTHER JONES: Right, celebrating.
MATTHEWS: In a way it’s like it took Obama to have this happen, or it's just so serendipitous.

Somebody grab a video of that so we can rub it in his face when this inevitably goes South.
Let’s ALL remember this night and what Sisssy Matthews saud!! It’s ALL BECAUSE OF OBAMA!!
Crissy, wait until Egypt has a new leader before you crow that your boy made it happen!
If a hardline Shari’a outfit moves in and they start beheading people and singling Christians out, will you still say that it took The Won to make it happen?
Correct. This will blow up in everybody’s faces. But the RNC won’t do a damn thing with the video. They have the worst PR machine in the world over there.
Lets wait and see how the "Law in Untended Consequences" plays out first.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
when the beheadings of “infidels” and the stoning of women explodes there, The Messiah will not be blamed. The Soros-backed revolt using mush-headed Jihadist youth and terrorist sympathizers is being portrayed as “Democracy in Action”....but when the shit hits the fan (and it will, soon), you will see The Messiah STILL portrayed as Presidential and a Leader (my ass).
When it goes south, watch how fast it becomes Bush’s fault.
Chrisidiot will live to realize that his statement was true.
But not in the manner that his simple mind intended.
WOW Chrissy, maybe you and Barry there need to get a room so you two can do the hokey pokey together, you know you want to
How many Egyptian Coptics have been killed over the past two weeks? Guess Chrissy sees them as collateral damage and unworthy of mention.
Heck, it won't even be mentioned on the news.
I agree it took Obama to make this happen.
He created a weakened US and they are taking advantage of it. When all is said and done, should we be shocked that this is being directed by leftist groups?
These folks have no idea what a free society requires considering where they come from. It’s so easy to whip up a mob with promises of ‘free’ stuff. On CNN, they were interviewing a ‘common’ protestor. When asked what he was there for, his answer was ‘more money!’.
First time democracy in an Arab wha ???
There are 50 million purple Fingertips
I’d like to see poked in Tingles eye
pssstt..Crissy...member this??
“this jubilant situation in Eqypt,”
Chrissy doesn’t quite grasp what’s going on.
Tell me about it. That place has needed a major augean stables clean-out for the past 15 years.
stone-cold guaranteed to be an unmitigated disaster, then.
guess it took obama to get all those people shot in iran when they protested, hunh?
the whole episode sure seemed like a media event to me. Somebody needs to track what Axelrodz been up to for the last month.
