I can hardly believe what I'm watching on MSNBC right now. Chris Matthews is almost critical — no, not even almost, he's flat-out critical of President Obama on the economic front. He mentions an earlier conversation with CNBC's manic stock analyst Jim Cramer and a University of Maryland professor (Peter Morici?) knocking Obama for several economic decisions — that the stimulus bill needed more real infrastructure and less pork, that the housing bill isn't inspiring confidence and doesn't look like it will work, and that no one has faith in Tim Geithner's solution for the banks.
Howard Fineman of Newsweek says Obama has been "grim and a little distant at the same time . . . Tim Geithner hasn't inspired any confidence anywhere, as far as I can tell."
Matthews: "He seems like Barney Fife to me."
Eugene Robinson: "I actually referred to him as Doogie Howser, Treasury Secretary, and I think it's a little unfair." Much laughter ensues.

You don’t think that this is just what they are going to do with the Health care provision in the “stimulus” bill?
Get a clue. They are going to decide who gets what treatment. And, if you are old, or have a chronic and expensive illness... no soup for you!
What gives with your reading comprehension? ...or lack of!
That's axactly what I think they have in mind!!! Straight out of Tom Daschle's book! "Old age" begins in mid-fifties!
And I find that similar to the Nazis.
Get a clue yourself!
I think you just nailed it.
These tools know that with no one to criticize, their ratings will be in the toilet. Nobody will wan to watch Bagdhad Bob praise his glorious leader for more than a couple nights in a row. That act gets real tedious, real fast.
ROTLMAO!! bttt
I doubt it will destroy the myth of Democrats being the better on the economy. If that were possible it would have been destroyed under Jimmy Carter. I know a lot of brain dead people who actually think he was good on the economy.
Chris was different all right, last night.
It took a Carter to get us a Reagan! Maybe th “0” will get us a _ _ _ _ _?

OK, OK, the analogy to Wes Crusher is flawed. I apologize.
Geithner is so out of his league it isn’t funny. And the C- team that Obama has around him is of no help. Geithner should step into a secondary role and let Paul Volker come in for a two-year stint. At least Volker would carry some clout around the world.
LOL
new puppy?
Just unbelievable what the press has become in this country.
Of course these brain dead amateur historians fail to recognize that Carter had a Democrat legislature for most of his term. There was no "They" to be hard on him.
Exactly.
Money, especially personal money, is thicker than ideology.
Matthews has NO INTENTION of giving up anything to the unwashed, it was supposed to be “THOSE PEOPLE” who were hurt.
