Chris Matthews On Hillary Clinton’s Speech: ‘Didn’t You Get A Sense That She Was President?’

Hardball host Chris Matthews was quite impressed with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton‘s speech about the U.S.’s current take on Libya its leader, Muammar al-Gaddafi.

Matthews – despite relative silence on the issue from those on his panel – praised Clinton for her strength and “hawkishness.” He even felt she looked, well. Downright presidential.

Unlike a certain President Someone…

Well that’s the look at Hillary Clinton, Commander in Chief. Didn’t you get the sense that she was president? I’m not knocking it! Didn’t she look strong? She looks like she knows what she’s doing. She doesn’t want to have Gaddafi there five more minutes.

The President is operating a balancing act, which doesn’t have as much stir to it. She seems to know what she’s doing. “I’m getting rid of Gaddafi!” She much more hawkish. At least a couple notches, right?
