Chris Matthews: Reagan was a better president than Obama
The Washington Times ^ | October 3, 2013 | Jessica Chasmar

Chris Matthews appeared on “The Colbert Report” Wednesday night to promote his new book, “Tip and the Gipper,” saying that it’s going to be hard for President Obama to beat Ronald Reagan’s legacy.

“Do you think Reagan was a better president than Obama is?” Stephen Colbert asked the MSNBC host.

“In the end, yes,” Mr. Matthews responded. “In the end. Because he ended the Cold War.

“That’s hard to beat,” he said, adding that he believes the government shutdown “is going to go on weeks.”

The pundit also took a jab at Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly. Mr. Colbert asked Mr. Matthews why he didn’t name his book “Killing Tip and the Gipper, referencing O’Reilly’s books “Killing Lincoln,” “Killing Kennedy” and “Killing Jesus.”

So were Warren G. Harding, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson and Franklin Pierce. What's your point?

Do you have anything against Millard Fillmore, or Martin Van Buren?

Hell... President Dwayne Elizondro Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho hasn't even been born yet and he was a better president than the amateur community organizer we got right now.

A crustacean would be a better president as would a three toed sloth, a tsetse fly, or a any of a dozen inanimate objects..

This actually means a hell of a lot coming from someone like Matthews. This means it has become too blatantly obvious to deny the disaster that is the One. At this point, I think even a completely impartial observer of the Presidents would be forced to consider Obama at the very least one of the 5 worst presidents in US history. At least.

As much as O’Reilly makes us cringe, the libs consider
him to be a conservative. Although we know better,
still, Chrissy’s crack regarding “Killing O’Reilly” would
never be tolerated if a percieved conservative pundit
made it about a liberal even on a lame program like
Colbert’s.

FDR may been born an American, but he was as Red as they come. Read Paul Kengor’s book about Frank Marshall Davis (The Communist). I’ll bet there’s some stuff in there most people have never heard before.

exactly. Hector Camacho was a porn start too. Buttcrack, on the other hand, is a fag.

Can you imagine how long it would have taken Valerie Jarrett to decide to drop The Bomb on Hiroshima?
