Matthews Compares Obama to the Pope!
12.5.2013 |Elisha Krauss
It's a religious week at MSNBC. First Ed Shultz spoke for God, who offered a big "Amen!" for the president's healthcare law that has already cost five million people their actual healthcare. Today, Chris Matthews compared the president to the Pope!
Today, during an almost hour long special on Hardball, Chris Matthews asked a plethora of softball questions of President Obama and not one difficult one. Matthews had even promoted his special show would be hard hitting, but on that he didn't deliver.
The most idiotic moment, though, was when Matthews actually said that, as a Catholic, he loves Obama and compared the American President to the Pope himself. Referencing the Pontiff's recent rebuke of capitalism and the President's Wednesday rebuke of income inequality, Matthews offered the following:
“Your remarks the other day on economic justice, to me as a Roman Catholic, was so resonant with what the Holy Father Francis has been saying. Talk about that common Judeo Christian, or even further Muslim, background to the belief that we have a social responsibility - a moral responsibility - to look out people who haven't made it in this country.
...
During the entire interview, Matthews never asked a legitimate follow-up question, nor did he keep the president on track with his answers. Obama often rambled talking points like "worst crisis since the Great Depression" and went down rabbit trails. President Obama also used questions as an opportunity to blame Bush and referred to how bad things were when he came into office.
Hardball it wasn't, but Hardball it was. The thrill up Chris Matthews leg must have been envigorating.
