This week, MSNBC “star” Chris Matthews made the following statement, clearly speaking out of frustration as he watched President Obama wilt under the scrutiny of the second presidential debates where he was challenged repeatedly by Republican Mitt Romney.
“I don’t think he understands the Constitution of the United States…He’s the president of the United States. You don’t say, ‘you’ll get your chance.’”
Chris Matthews was angry with Romney challenging the president on his record during the course of an election to unseat him.
Imagine that.
Matthews should be angry about the president’s poor performance not with Romney’s tenaciousness in seeking the truth.
But here's the truth, that Matthews hasn't seemed to have learned: the respect you give is the respect you get. If the president wants respect than he better stop acting like a potentate and more like a president of the United States. Romney gave the president the respect he deserved at the debates and during the course of the election.
You would think Matthews would know what is in the Constitution and what is not.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it set forth that a president of the United States is above the people and cannot and should not be challenged. Is that not what a presidential election is all about – challenging an incumbent president on his record?
The Founding Fathers specifically limited the powers of the president and did not exempt a president from abiding by the laws of the land in the same manner and to the same extent as the average citizen.
America was founded because of our dissatisfaction with a monarchy run by kings and queens who were above the people. The problem is that Matthews thinks that not only he is above the people but President Obama should be as well.

Matthews is a leg humping idiot.
I swear Matthews is gonna show up on air in a little girl summer dress one of these days.
Matthews has an impossible task. Every day he has to say something more bizarre..more insane...than he said yesterday.
“You would think Matthews would know what is in the Constitution and what is not.”
I wouldn’t think that. Would you think that? Would anyone here think that?
...he’s recovering from the stroke Odungo gave him...
He was referring to the “Living Constitution”. You know the one: the blank piece of paper that he fills in with whatever he wants.
“Hmmmm...Article II, Section 1: if the president makes my leg tingle, he shall never be challenged. He will be addressed as ‘His Excellency President for Life’...yeah, that’s about right...”
UH!
Photoshop alert...braids please.
Maybe he attended that teacher’s class.......you know the one, the one who told a student he could get arrested for speaking out against Obama?
Chris, “the two fisted Drunk”...is letting his “Slip” show...
This Partizan retard is comming unglued as we speak...
Obama’s Epic Failure...is Christina’s Failure and He cant stand the pressure as His Propped up Messiah deflates into
Electoral Oblivion.....Harr! Harr!
Chris you are a Media Bitch..a Punk Bitch.
This truly displays a difference in mindset between liberals and conservatives.
Liberals have no self-reliance. They want to be ruled. They want to be controlled and pampered on the taxpayer dime, and hang the expense, because they are afraid of freedom and the responsibility that comes with it. And they want to drag us down with them to utter ruin.

What planet is this moron from????
He can’t be serious.
I’d say Chrissy agrees with Woody Allen that Barry should be given a dictatorship.
It’s a good thing we’re coming to the finish line. I swear Chrissie is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I don’t think he’ll be able to stand the pressure much longer.
If this maroon believes this...we need to do a rewind to the Bush admin.
Yep. Matthews is running out of stupid.
