Chris Matthews compliments Obama as ‘cold blooded’

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews paid an odd compliment to President Barack Obama Tuesday.

“This president is — and I mean this positively — cold blooded,” he said.

“I think people who are chief executives of this country and they have all the fire power before them, they have to be willing to use it or they shouldn’t take the job. It’s very simple. If you’re not willing to use our military power, if you’re not willing to kill people when you have to, you shouldn’t take that job.”

“This president is not a wimp about using power,” he added. “In fact, I dare say he’s pretty cold blooded. He went after the pirates, he actually called for the contract, he called for the hit. He did it again here.”

1. Works for me...n/t

[quinnox]

2. nice example of how screwed up the world is

when being called cold blooded and praised for being willing to kill is a compliment.

8. Yup

That shouldn't be a compliment.

3. It took guts and pure patriotism for Obama

to make this decision. If it had failed the repubs would rub it in his face hourly with their huge propaganda network. Of course now they want full credit for the mission.

13. I'm not sure this is true

If he had decided not to, and it ever came out that they were that close and he blinked, he'd be toast. There was a risk, but I'm not sure he had much choice.

4. STFU Matthews

Keep your awkward, bipolaresque no-talent sychophancy to yourself.

Oh I forgot, he's PAID to be an awkward no-talent bipolaresque sychophant.

9. Why? Because you disagree with him?

How about this - refute what Matthews has said. Shut him up with logic.

[Richardo]

14. It's a stupid remark in a career of stupid remarks...

...I'm waiting for the 'tingle up his leg' again.

I don't care if he's 'supporting' the President or not, the man is an embarrassment to whatever network he's on and it will never cease to amaze me that he gets paid a huge sum of money to do what he does so horribly.

10. You don't like Matthews, that's clear

and obvisouly your right. Besides that, what exactly in what he said do you object to or disagree with? Insults are not very informative, you know.

[Richardo]

15. I don't object to this remark in and of itself.

I just want him to STFU in general.

5. Considering all that could have

gone wrong, it was an incredibly courageous call.

[RegieRocker]

6. Call B.S. on this one. The Navy Seals were responsible for his death and

as fast as I'm concerned his life wasn't worth a fraction of a Navy Seals life . No way. They did what they had to do.

7. Cold blooded and nerves of steel, when the moment calls for it. Matthews is correct--

and we have the right man for the job.

[snot]

11. Tweety's lust got a bump?

[lamp_shade]

12. Chris is correct.

16. Talkin' bout Shaft, motherfuckers

:thumbsup:

17. Was there any doubt?
