Of course it won't hurt him. The media will protect him.

Chris is saying that Obama must wreak havoc to reduce his political risk.

ie the worse we do the better he does.

And Chrissie is openly hoping as many people as possible suffer so His Precious’s poll ratings aren’t hurt.

Very much his way of thinking: “Thank God for Sandy.”

without lifting a finger, he will claim that his deft management skills allowed him to carefully balance the precious dollars that the evil republicans didn’t steal from him.

then he will dare anyone to prove otherwise.

think, “I saved the economy when it was on the brink of collapse”. same thing.

Years ago, Rush Limbaugh recognized that Obama wanted to bring socialism to America. Limbaugh said, "I hope he fails" and caught a lot of grief for it.

Now Obama is president and he has just lost a political fight over the budget. Chris Matthews basically says, "I hope the country collapses" but it's no big deal.

Poor Chrissie still using "Big Cuts" terminology.
Think the dirty bastard had a brief flash of reality and it's panicking him.

Precisely. There is no downside for the African communist. If there is indeed "havoc", or if the economy continues to slide into the abyss, it's the Republicans' fault; if the economy recovers, hooray for the great Ubama, who saved the economy, "in spite of intense Republican opposition to his policies".

Except it would show that cutting government spending isn’t impossible and would embolden people making that argument and discredit people who argue against cuts.

No worry, he will be able to create a disaster of epic proportions, no doubt working on it as we speak.

Doesn’t Chrissy realize that Obama’s lies change from day to day, and that he isn’t supposed to raise any questions about that process?

Sequestration is not big cuts.

Why even post anything from The Spitter?

If idiots on the right continue across the board from social media to all the blogs and boards spout his crap off we’ll never be rid of him.

It the right-of-center would QUIT posting this Marxist’s retard comments it would be helpful.

Quit making him relevant.

We do not live in a world of rational debate anymore. Matthews’ question clearly shows the president’s power and popularity trumps, or at the very least, is as important as the well-being of the country. But if challenged on it, he’ll yell at you with spit coming from the corners of his mouth, not letting you get a word in edgewise. It’s “how things are done” now.

>> “Sequestration is not big cuts.” <<

.
No kidding!

Compared to last year, there is no cut at all; just a smaller increase.

Hissy Chrissie knows the sequester is supposed to help doom our economy and create chaos. it is one step he needs to try to get Marxism in place.

Chrissy will surely get a thrill up his leg if people start dropping dead on the streets.I,personally,derive enormous pleasure listening to great music,being with family or a nice piece of sirloin...medium rare.Filthbags like Chrissy get off on human suffering...particularly the kind that they blame on Republicans (which is basically *all* suffering...everywhere).

Thanks chessplayer.
Matthews asked his panel, "Has President Obama put himself at political risk if the big cuts do not wreak havoc?"
He put ALL of US at risk, and plans to keep doing so, in hopes of political benefit to himself and his Puppet Masters. Why should anyone give a d@## whether Zero suffers from his own misdeeds? Pissy Chrissy isn't a journalist. Partisan Media Shills ping.
