CHRIS MATTHEWS: "What was our plan for transition for our friend? Did we ever talk to him about it, encourage him? That's my view; character and planning. I feel shame about this. I feel ashamed as an American, the way we're doing this. I know he has the change. I know we're for democracy, but the way we've handled it is not the way a friend handles the matter. We're not handling it the way Americans should handle matters like this. I don't feel right about it. And Barack Obama, as much I support him in many ways, there is a transactional quality to the guy that is chilling. I believe in relationships. I think we all do. Relationship politics is what we were brought up with in this country. You treat your friends a certain way. You're loyal to them. And When they're wrong, you try to be with them, you try to stick with them."

Shame Chris???

After the things you’ve said and done in the
name of journalism, it’s quite apparent that
you’ve forgotten how to blush!

Forget Obama. Americans are ashamed of YOU!!!

[1000 silverlings]

he’s not gonna get a valentine this year

[Fred]

If you are so ashamed, then, how about resigning at MSNBC and spending the rest of your life making taking back all the stupid stuff you have said over the years?

[2harddrive]

As an American, I am ashamed of CHRIS MATTHEWS!!!

"When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."

[PA-RIVER]

So who's on Imam Obamas guest list for the next Ramadan dinner at the white house?

Is it too much to ask for a Christian president who loves America?

Why do we have a Mohammedan in the oval office?

Democrats are F!@#ing sick.

You say you never feel ashamed to be an American. I understand your point, but I felt ashamed to be an American when this country sent Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba at gunpoint.

I could not believe the high poll numbers that thought it best that this boy be sent back to his ‘father’ in Cuba when it was obvious the father was a tool of Castro. The father wanted the boy to be free. He said so to the Miami relatives. Elian’s mother died so he could be free.

And many of these people were from the conservative community - even Freepers, sad to say, from my perspective.
Elian had a chance to be free, and this country sent him away. FDR did the same when he sent 937 Jews on the ship
MS St. Louis back to Europe, and would not let them disembark on freedom’s shores in 1939. Voyage of the Damned is a great movie about this shameful episode.

I remember a case where President Reagan saved a boy from being returned to communist Poland. Then again, I never felt prouder than when he was our president. I know we cannot save the world, but when people make heroic efforts to come to this great land we should embrace them.

Yes, there are times when I’m ashamed at the things our country does in the name of political expediency or correctness.

“.hell anderson cooper has been better than fox on this too.”

Didn’t Anderson Cooper get mugged in Egypt?

All liberals need to get hit on the side of the head
at least once a month to see the world as it is.

[April Lexington]

Pissy. The new Olbermann.

[manc]

why doesn’t he piss off and take his far left hating American bigoted scum bags, with him

[unixfox]

I’m ashamed that half the population in America voted for an idiot.

[manc]

Fox has been dreadful in their coverage of this crisis.

Their biased reporters like Vitter, Di natali was awful

Thankfully they brought Tobin in but not to Cairo where he was needed

[Bronzewound]

“Transactional quality” is just liberal gibberish to make them sound intelligent. “Sound” is the operative word here.

There was a "transactional quality" to my last grocery purchase.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Chrissie! That throbbing in your brain? It’s hemorrhoids!

[AmericanMermaid]

Exactly. “Transactional” if it was a word, which I’ve never actually heard it used (but dictionary.com is finding something) would be pertaining to a transaction, so he’s saying “there is a quality that pertains to transaction about the guy that is chilling.” Liberal gibberish is right.

And if Chrissy is finding out Zero’s a zero, his efforts to appear intelligent are in vain. How stupid can he be if it’s taken him this long?

[Candor7]

And Barack Obama, as much I support him in many ways, there is a transactional quality to the guy that is chilling. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Are Chrissy Leg Tingle and the Dems beginning to wake up after their leftist fascist sojourn with Barry Soetro. Will they again succumb to the leg tingle and Oba-orgasm?

Time will tell.

Meanwhile we need to lay it to them: 'OBAMA IS A FASCIST. look at it, staring you in the face!!!'

[editor-surveyor]

>> “Matthews is absolutely correct on this point. His comment was ‘inspirational’.” <<

.
No, Matthews is really way out in the dark.

He fails to come to grips with the fact that the destabilization of Egypt was a deliberate policy of the Obama Regime.
.

[editor-surveyor]

>> “or it could mean he didn’t expect Obama to side with the Muslim Brotherhood” <<

.
Obama didn’t just “side with” the MB, he made the opening for them to step into.

[AmericanMermaid]

Haroldeveryman, I should have read further before I posted. I’m a writer & editor but not a therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist, so that word threw me. Thank you for a very interesting & enlightening post.

[hal ogen]

I am ashamed of everyone who supported nobama and also those who continue to support him. All should put their head in a vise until they hear cracking sounds. Why...oh...why do you hate America , Freedom and Americans????
