MSNBC's Matthews On Handling Of Egypt: "I Feel Ashamed As An American" (video)

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."

Koolaid, that pictures says it all.

Chris is smart enough to sense he helped an Islamic Nazi get elected to the presidency. The truth is dawning on him.

But, alas, I suspect he will go back to a state of denial and drink a little more koolaid. It's the communist way. It's easier to believe the myth than face the truth.

“It was horrendous to have Obama out there a week ago saying Mubarak needed to be GONE “now” -— and emphasizing that “now means yesterday.”

I think this was a direct attack on Bush and the evil American policy in the middle east in general - evil in the sense it does not include the oppressed Muslim brotherhood groups, and props up dictators. He can’t wait to change it and build new dialogue with Muslims - which in his naive view will lead to world peace and the laying down of arms by the extremists.

He sees himself as the great messiah by loving the enemy. Of course he is doing the exact opposite of what he think he will achieve.

Chrissy - don’t feel ashamed as an American, feel ashamed as an 0bama supporter.

I think that's what he really means, and what he unwittingly admitted.

“The transactional leader works through creating clear structures whereby it is clear what is required of their subordinates, and the rewards that they get for following orders. Punishments are not always mentioned, but they are also well-understood and formal systems of discipline are usually in place.

The early stage of Transactional Leadership is in negotiating the contract whereby the subordinate is given a salary and other benefits, and the company (and by implication the subordinate’s manager) gets authority over the subordinate.

When the Transactional Leader allocates work to a subordinate, they are considered to be fully responsible for it, whether or not they have the resources or capability to carry it out. When things go wrong, then the subordinate is considered to be personally at fault, and is punished for their failure (just as they are rewarded for succeeding).

The transactional leader often uses management by exception, working on the principle that if something is operating to defined (and hence expected) performance then it does not need attention. Exceptions to expectation require praise and reward for exceeding expectation, whilst some kind of corrective action is applied for performance below expectation. “

oh yeah .. I had to look it up.

“It is funny that the liberals in the media who propagated for Obama during the primaries are now admitting that Hillary’s ad about Obama and the emergency call at 3am was right after all.”

Hillary's also proved, she can't handle that 3am phone call either, since she decided to join Obama.

Obozo is showing his real self.....Obozo is a Muslim Terrorist that sat in a church pew for twentysome years led by a Pastor who was and is a Hate Mongering Racist AntiAmerican Muslim Himself who never was and never will be a Christian.Now we can be sure why Obozo had Chief Justice Roberts swear him in the second time.....to have a photo taken proving to the Muslim World that Obozo was the First Muslim President of the United States and he was sworn in without the Infidel’s Christian Bible anywhere near his body. I’ll bet there was a Koran hidden someplace on his body at the time. You never hear him refer to the “HOLY BIBLE”, but he never misses a chance to speak of the “HOLY KORAN” with total feigned reverence.

Obama doesn’t realize other world leaders are privately thinking the same ideas about him, which he publicly announces when he condemns others.

Can we have a moratorium on Chris Matthews stories on Freerepublic? I mean, the guy’s got no ratings. He’s an insignificant insane man ranting on a street corner. No one really watches his show - except perhaps a small number of other mental patients. And those who watch who aren’t mental patients are simply looking at him as a freak in a sideshow. They’re almost like the evil people who would laugh and throw things at the Elephant Man.

...and yes, I know I don’t have to click on these. Actually I never do, but I’m getting sick of seeing the name Chris Matthews plastered all over the main page of Freerepublic. Why are some people so obsessed by a man that no one watches?

Its worse than that, Obama is a 1000% Muslim Terrorist who clothed himself as an alleged Christian because he knew he didn’t have a chance of being elected as a Muslim. Farrakkon stated from his Pulpit that Obama was their Muslim Prophet sent by ALLAH! No Muslim Leader would say that about a former Muslim who had converted to the Hated Infidel’s Christianity. The Muslim World Loves Obama because they know he is conning the Americans and that he is one of them doing their bidding. I am scared and angry at what this Traitor is doing to America and Our Allys!

Well, Chrissy.....it turns out that tingle up your leg was a healthy stream of piss from Obama....wasn’t it?

Exactly. At first, it gave Chrissy a warm feeling. Now his pant leg is cold and damp, with a bad odor.
