Chris Matthews to John Sununu: Obama is your President too

[justiceischeap]

Sununu said that Romney wants to fix what your President broke and Tweety came back with he's your President too. I liked that.

All too often these Repubs don't think of it in those terms.

[spanone]

1. they hate the President. sununu hasn't been this worked up in years.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

3. LOL!! More like 25 years!

[powergirl]

2. I haven't seen that hack in years

my head is hurting now.

[opihimoimoi]

4. FUCK SUNUNU...get his ass off the stage...old asshole is still a Painus in the Anus

Nothing new...mostly RW Tripe

[KathieG]

5. Just watched the interview...Sununu is an @sshole

he was combative during the whole interview, "you guy's aren't smart enough..." wow.

[justiceischeap]

6. I think Sununu is a great example of the problem of the Republican party

When they brought up Huntsman working within the Obama administration and how that is the wrong thing to do. The republican party (and I know I'm stating the obvious, but...) no longer represents people but is all about doing for the republican party. It is now anathema that republicans work with democrats. If a republican in any way works with a democrat, they are turncoats, traitors to the party. They don't even see how wrong that is and I think they are missing the point that the majority of American's aren't in favor of that way of thinking.

8. astute observation....and very true.

[HopeHoops]

7. Sununu is a bed stain from an incontinent wart hog.

I lived in NH for 10 years. The guy is disgusting.

[great white snark]

13. You're always so subtle...how do you really feel?

My condolences to you and all the fine folks of NH.

[HopeHoops]

14. I live in PA now. We threw out Mr. Frothy, but we've got asswipe Toomey now.

And then there's the fracking governor Corbett.

[Ikonoklast]

9. Sununu is just another way to spell Asshat.

Guy has been a tool his entire life, he's a big fish in a small pond state.

[Fuzz]

10. Sununu was angry and pissy before the camera turned on.

[barbtries]

11. in all fairness

i never claimed bush. ugh.

[justiceischeap]

12. Yeah but the Democratic party didn't make the decision that their party

was more important than their constituents. It is clear the republican party has made that decision. Romney is piling on Huntsman for serving within the Obama administration, totally leaving out the fact that any politician works under the current President during their tenure.

[barbtries]

15. absolutely.

when they declare publicly that their major goal is preventing the president from serving a second term you can be sure that they do not have the country's best interests in mind.

[Odin2005]

16. They are tribal, to them a black person can't be "their president".

[onpatrol98]

17. Hmm...

I'm not claiming Bush. I'm not claiming Reagan, either. They certainly didn't feel like my president. If I was talking to Hannity (in a nightmare), I would have said "Your President". Because, I see them as "his" guys. Not mine. I also have to wonder how they feel about us. I don't care what they say. I don't think presidents feel all warm and cozy about all of their citizens, either. You could certainly tell from Bush. Something tells me, President Obama doesn't look across a crowd of Tea Party protesters and think..."I just love this little group." What can I do to help them today? LOL. I think it's just that he knows his policies help them, in spite of them.

[senseandsensibility]

18. I think tweety should have said that Obama didn't break it, bushie did.

To me, that's the more important point. Trying to teach repugs manners or decency is a waste of time.

[Honeycombe8]

19. Good response. So often people get away with those small references...

they slide them by, stuck in the middle of responses, and the interviewer either doesn't catch it or doesn't call the guest on it. Way to go, Tweety!

[Ship of Fools]

20. My bet is on *doesn't catch it.*

There seem to be only a few that do, and they seem to be marginalized -- like Maddow,
Olbermann and the like.

Self-edit for spelling.

[treestar]

21. And they were quick to point out the same to us in the Bush Administration

You know, since we were at war and all.

[justiceischeap]

22. Exactly, goose/gander argument.

I wasn't a Bush admin supporter (obviously) but I'm one of those folks who try to think about how politics SHOULD be. For example, many Dems here rail against centrist Dems. I have no problem with centrist Dems IF they are actually representing their constituency. Like Wasserman-Schultz, for example. I think in her district she has to be a centrist and I think it's as it should be. Not all Dems can be the way I want them to and I'd hope that they represent all of their constituents fairly; I know that's a naive outlook but it is how it should be, IMO.

[treestar]

23. True, many can't deal with the fact they haven't convinced many voters

to be more liberal or progressive and resort to accusations against other Democratic leaders that they haven't made it so or vote hacking types of stuff (while there is some of that, there could also be genuine disagreement).

[jwirr]

24. That is the one thing I like about Tweety. He remembers when we wanted this country to be successful
