Matthews: President Runs IRS, Treasury (Video )
Washington Free Beacon ^ | May 15, 2013 7:37 am | Washington Free Beacon Staff

MSNBC host Chris Matthews criticized President Obama for his mishandling of recent scandals, including the IRS targeting conservative groups.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: He does run the IRS. He runs the Treasury Department. He runs the United States government, and he is accountable for it, and this is nonsensical.

While I heartily agree Obama should be held accountable, Matthews’ oversimplified description of how the Presidency relates to the rest of the Executive Branch and the U.S. Government leaves me wondering if our media understands the difference between a dictatorship and a constitutional republic. No wonder they can’t report Obama’s scandals accurately if this is how they view how government works.

Wow, Chrissy is not happy. Wonder if he’s having impure thoughts...the I-word.

PS: In other words, Matthews seems to be complaining that the dictatorship isn’t performing as a benevolent dictatorship should, rather than complaining that we have a total breakdown of the separation of powers.

You make an excellent point. They’re ignorant of what a Constitutional Republic is about.

At least he grasps what the executive branch actually does.

I was wondering if he understood that.*

That said, is it racist of him?

*chickens coming home to roost*

I agree. These scandals they’re reporting are all symptoms of a Constitutional crisis that needs to be verbalized. What Obama has done goes beyond corruption and treason, he has been misusing the Executive Branch to change our form of government. Even impeaching him would not fix the problem this has created—it would only be a first step.

No, he is upset because the president is making Chris look bad.

We’re witnessing an Incremental Communist Coup.

The liberals are the only ones who can stop Obama. The republicans just need to do their job; not to worry about the dems blaming them because this is Obama’s government.

Many democrats that we see now are so beholding to their agenda foremost. This is why we see these same people along with the media not allowing the truth to flow. Chuck Todd and most at NBC/MSNBC are some of the most corrupt people that we see talking/spewing from TV.
