Chris Matthews Advises Obama On Saving November From “Catastrophe”

video
» 70 comments

Chris Matthews promised his viewers that his final segment tonight on Hardball would live up to the show’s name and not be softened with any “bedside manner.” However, liberals watching might not have expected it to sound like a terrifying ghost story instead. Matthews began by listing the hard facts that are facing Democrats right now and how most signs are predicting a Republican take over come January. He then, speaking about and to President Obama, gave the commander in chief some instructions on how to save the upcoming election from being a “catastrophe.”

Matthews chastened the president for appearing two “distant” and told him he needed to sell a message to the American people, a note that had been repeated throughout the broadcast by the host and a number of his guests. That message seemed to be to remind voters of the dangers Matthews predicts would come to fall if the “hawks” and “deregulators” were allowed back in office.

“The key is for the president to campaign, to be the person he was from 2004 through 2008; the inspiring, hard working, focussed Democratic hero that he was. He needs to sell his connection, as he did through all that time, with the prospect of change. He’s been working on change, creating jobs, doing health care, cleaning up Wall Street, working for a peaceful role abroad. He’s got to sell the fact that he, Barack Obama, not only gives a damn, but has been putting forth an effort to turn this country around.”

It was a stirring little monologue and one that was probably pretty hard for fans of the show to listen to. Watch the full segment below:

    Yes I want the dems to follow this clowns advice. If Matthews knew how to run a campaign he wouldn’t be waste his time talking to himself on MSNBC.

  • Big Eddie

    Or , he could just work on his putting . It’s only a ” catastrophe ” to you , Matthews .

  • felixw

    Typical MSNBC advice — telling the President not to move to the center. Nothing would be better for the Republicans than for the President to follow exactly this game plan.

    Old Chris said, He’s been working on change, creating jobs, doing health care, cleaning up Wall Street, working for a peaceful role abroad. He’s got to sell the fact that he, Barack Obama, not only gives a damn, but has been putting forth an effort to turn this country around.”

    Here is the real deal my boy. He hasn’t created any jobs but government jobs. Nobody wanted his health care. He cleaned up Wall Street by hiring all the people from Wall Street and Goldman Sachs. The only thing that he gives a damn about is income redistribution and golf.

  • BatBoy

    Chris is looking to get that “thrill up his leg” again.

  • murf

    Looks like Matthews is the only one that has kept his campaign promise ; ” It’s my job to help this president succeed. “

  • ChiliPeppersFan

    hasn’t created jobs but government jobs? well, either way…
    f the economy produces jobs over the next eight months at the same pace as it did over the past four months, the nation will have created more jobs in 2010 alone than it did over the entire eight years of George W. Bush’s presidency.
    http://www.nationaljournal.com/njmagazine/nj_20100515_5237.php
    and nobody wanted his health care? only the people losing their losing the savings and homes because they had a preexisting condition that allowed their health insurance to not pay their bills
    it really is gonna suck to have darryl issa having supoena power but i think there is a good chance the dems will keep the senate

    Sorry, Obama’$ off decorating the oval office, golfing and going on vacations.

  • newzmaker

    Obama is the first president, ever, to have a bunch of white folks looking into a TV camera and bossing him around. Maddow, Matthews, and Olbermann, are always talking down to Obama in this manner, as if they think he’s too stupid to come in out of the rain. This only proves that those white liberals on MSNBC, believe they are more intelligent than Obama, the black president. I’d like to see MSNBC investigated, for having such racist employees on the air. This is unbelievable that such racism still exists, on live TV, in 2010. No media person has ever looked into an American TV camera and told a white president, how to run the country. Every Republican needs to email MSNBC and demand that the racism stop. How disgusting.

  • JimBob

    Chris Matthews ! Good ole Tinkle hisownself ! You know the saddest
    thing about this fool, Matthews, He actually takes himself seriously!
    Chris, Hello. Chris, you are irrellevant !
    You spittle into dead air each night.

  • ChiliPeppersFan

    very funny newzmaker, but as dr. laura pointed out, they voted for a black man so their is no racism

  • Hawk11

    Seriously….
    How many of you commenting on here in favor of the right wing work for FOX news?

    Anyone on here who is in the 95% of America considered the middle class should want nothing at all to do with the “current” idealism of the Republican party. If you make over $250K then I can understand. If any of you can tell me what Bush or any current republican did, or will do, for the middle class then I can understand. If any right winger can tell me, other than guns or a pro life stance, why they are a right winger I’d love to hear it. Go ahead and say you don’t like big government and you supported Bush, when he expanded government more than any president in history.

    Our country is owned by lobbyists… lobbyists for the oil industry, pharmaceutical industry, insurance industry, etc…

    If Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh want to act as if they are for the common american, then let’s see them live like a common american and then agree with the crap they preach. Hate and fear is what they preach and that is the last thing this country needs right now.

    If the comments on this website are all about the war between FOX and MSNBC then it just proves that people will blindly follow all of those who ask you to do whatever it is they are preaching you do. That is subservience on an unprecedented scale. We are all Americans. Our ancestors are as well…wherever they may have come from. All of those that some will preach fear about, whether it be Immigrants or Muslims, well, they are the same as anyone else… HUMANS. Every kind has their own extremist group. We have plenty of extremist groups right here in the US. To deny that is pure ignorance.

    So next time you choose to get on the media, without looking at what station they are broadcasting from, listen to what is being said and ask yourself if you fall into the category of those being affected.

    If our country is owned the oil industry, pharmaceutical industry and the insurance industry then riddle me this.
    Why aren’t we drilling in ANWAR, off the coast of California and off Florida? Why did the insurance companies allow Obamacare to pass? Why is big Pharma allowing Obama kill their industry?

    YOU must be one of the dumbest people on Earth. But then most libs believe that nonsense and repeat it with a straight face.

  • PureFreedom

    I agree with felixw..Chris is telling the president to keep going to the far left. What a disaster that will be.
    The only way Obama can save himself is do a Clinton move and start leaving his Black welfare big government ideology behind and move to the center and stop hating FOX news and start appearing on it with Bill and Beck…

  • newzmaker

    I know not many watch MSNBC, but I watch a bit, to see what their latest schemes are. You won’t believe what is happening on “Morning Joe”, lately. Whenever Joe and Mika are off for the day, which is quite often, these days, MSNBC shows clips of Joe and Mika, on their live TV broadcast, from weeks or days ago. What kind of deal is this? Replays of Joe and Mika? Too funny. Which bright person at MSNBC, came up with this genius idea? LOL.

  • StandUp

    I watched the show, while Matthews was making his comments, I forgot he was white.

    Felix, you seem pretty astute, so you know you have nothing to worry about on this one. Barack Obama is a 100% ideologue, the chance of him moderating his views is zero. The 5 point plan of his Presidency is –

    1) REDISTRIBUTION
    2) REDISTRIBUTION
    3) REDISTRIBUTION
    4) REDISTRIBUTION
    5) REDISTRIBUTION

    Moving a millimeter from the far left is against everything he believes….and squelches all 5 points of his plan.

    Hey Gordo,

    Watch who you call dumb when the only thing you ever do on here is throw out Republican talking points. You act like the NeoCon automatons we see on FOX news. Those who follow and don’t think for themselves should not throw stones.

    Lobbyists try to stop any regulation out there, as do republicans. Regulation is out there to keep the common worker SAFE!!!!! Or do you have a problem with that. If you do tell that to the families of those on the oil rigs that blow up, tell that to those who die in mines, tell it to those who spend $30 dollars on a credit card and end up paying three times the amount to pay it of when their bank decides overnight to raise interest rates… I can go on and on. Company lobbyists throw millions and millions at our elected officials and in turn our elected officials make laws and regulations. That makes our country “owned” by companies who use money and influence to help write policy. You think that all the new regulation under Obama doesn’t have loopholes that these companies saw to? Come on.

    We don’t drill in ANWAR thanks to a Republican president (Eisenhower), or did you not look that up?

  • Azarkhan

    Ultimately what the clip confirms is that there is no solution to the Democrat’s problems. The districts where Democrats can campaign on their legislative achievements (e.g., the health care bill), are restricted to the bluest of blue states. The futility of the Democrats campaigning on the economy was comically on display during VP Biden’s “Recovery Summer” tour. No reputable analyst believes the US economy is out of the recession. In fact, many are predicting a double recession.

    The same is true for Matthew’s recommendation that Pres Obama can be useful on the campaign trail. In most states Obama is as toxic as his policies.

    The House is gone. If the Democrats also lose the Senate, it will be extremely difficult for Obama to avoid being a one-term president.

    Most of the people on here know more than most people who vote in elections. Surely you must realize that. A very recent poll found that only 1% of people asked were able to name the 9 U.S. Supreme Court Justices. That surprised me enough, I surely would expect the percentage to be higher than that. Much more surprising, though, was that two-thirds were not even able to name ONE of them. That is pathetic.

    Most Republicans agree that GW Bush spent far too much, trying to appease everyone, and in the end making nothing but enemies. However, the current President has added $3,000,000,000,000 to the national debt in 18 months. The CBO estimates that Obama’s fiscal 2011 budget will generate nearly $10 trillion in budget deficits over the next 10 years, and raise the federal debt to 90 percent of the nation’s economic output by 2020, a whopping 40% more than at the end of fiscal 2008. He is kicking Bush’s ass when it comes to spending.

    The current President’s plan is redistribution, period, nothing else. That is why so, so, so very many people have turned on him. He was able to fool a lot of people into believing that he was a moderate Democrat when he is in fact a very ideological, far left liberal, who see REDISTRIBUTION as the answer to all the social wrongs that make America such a bad place. REDISTRIBUTION, even if there is nothing to redistribute. Borrow and print money, over tax and cripple business, crush the private sector and grow the public sector, and then let the federal government decide who gets what. Sorry Hawk, people aren’t buying it anymore.

    Andy,

    Why is the country in the financial state that it’s in right now? Not because of Obama. If not for the stimulus there would be a heck of a lot more jobs lost. Small business can’t keep up because they need the money to keep up. Thanks to the filibuster for that hold up. Big companies are finding that they can lay off thousands and get things done with people who will do anything to keep their job, yet the CEO’s are taking home tens of millions and they should be protected?

    Tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts…. The republican fix for everything. Tax cuts for the rich is the republican solution.

    It’s enough already. We can argue this until the end of time. The truth of it is that not many of our politicians work for those who elected them. Ultimately, that is the problem we all face.

    Wow Hawk, you with the phony name, I better WATCH who I call dumb. LOL Now I know you are not dumb, you are flat out stupid.
    Soooooo you say the oil companies and the insurance industry control the country then you did not mean it, you just meant they TRY to control the country. That is about the most astute statement ever made. NOT.

    You need to check who you are talking to before you shoot off your mouth. My grandfather died in a coal mine accident. My father worked in the coal mines for twenty years and then on the railroad for another twenty years.
    He had Black Lung disease. I worked in the steel mill and at a DuPont chemicle plant. Don’t feed me any crap about working people. I know far more than you do.
    You are just spouting the socialist class warfare crap. It is nonsense.
    I have run a business. Business and corporations are not the problem in this country. The government drives them out of the country.

    There should be no tax on workers wages. There should be no corporate taxes. Then watch how those corporations that left the country come back and see how foreign companies move here. That will put people back to work.

    Aside from that try taking an economics course that isn’t taught by a socialist.

  • Hawk11

    Listen Gordo,
    Stop trying to be a holier than thou about it all. No taxes, fine. No military, No police, no fire dept, no road construction, NO GOVERNMENT!!. That’s what you want? You want everyone and their mothers owning a gun with no one watching over anything? You want the wild freakin west with automatic weapons? You think the states aught to be countries unto themselves?

    Your father and grandfather came down with horrible illnesses due to the corporations they worked for not caring about their safety. You think yours is the only story? Think I sit here and talk with no idea of what I’m talking about? You think I want to verbally brawl with you? You think that I believe I’m losing this argument with you? You’re out of your mind if you think I do, or that I am.

    You just keep spouting on with your far far right wing agenda. Keep on about birth certificates and conspiracy theories about the socialist agenda. Keep it up and let your minions on here follow you. I’m sure that makes you feel good. Truth is I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for the way you have to speak to other people’s points. I feel sorry for the way you fall under the influence of those that make $30+ million a year and tell you what you should do and how to think. I feel sorry for thinking you have a little Glenn Beck bobblehead with a little chalk board that reads “communist” on it.

    If John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, Michelle Bachmann, and Sarah Palin had their ways most of the country would be in poverty while 2% of the country had all the money. Well, if that happens then there will be no one to spend money and the entire economy falls. Have fun with that.

    You want to keep with this Gordo? I can keep going. You can keep calling me stupid, dumb, simplistic, whatever you like. I’m educated, articulate, and knowledgeable about all I speak of. You on the the other hand cannot spell “chemical”. So keep it up Gordo… You’ll make it someday. ;-)

    As I watched the video of Chris’ closing comments, I noticed:

    The first MINUTE was pretty accurate, but then, as he started to say stupid untrue things, I felt uncomfortable.

    Suddenly my eyes began to glaze over a bit and I saw Keith Olbermann’s face saying the words.

    Finally I realized, the same MSNBC person/people probably write for both of these guys!!

    Uhm, because it’s fun to mock loons like those who work at MSNBC. The reason no body watches them is because they aren’t serious thinkers. The are “irrelevant” but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to point out just how bat shit crazy they are. I mean, there’s a pretty good chance one of that will have a nervous breakdown after the midterm elections. They will be out of their loony minds. It’s gonna be fun to watch.

    You know, this gets glazed over too often…. the significance of the HoR. It is the most accountable and responsive to The Will of The People. It is the most truly ‘representative’ of all Big Gov’t and the most indicative of the direction of political winds. Now it seems to be widely accepted that the house will go (R). I don’t wanna jinx it so I’m not counting any chickens (yet) but…. to me this SHOULD BE the most worrisome for the (D)’s.

    If the shoe was on the other foot (it WAS not that long ago) ….. I would be more concerned about what losing the HoR says about the state of my politics. More specifically.. if I was a leftwinger (or liberal).. I would be taking serious inventory of my idea of ‘good policy’ and giving SERIOUS CONSIDERATION to the debate that is taking place all over America right now.

    This is serious shit and it seems that people like Mr. Mattews are spending their time trying to figure out how to score a Hail Mary touchdown , down by 40, from deep in their own territory, right before halftime. What they should be doing is taking a knee and going back to the locker room and drawing up a whole new plan for the second half. Then they would have something to talk abouit besides “it could be worse” and …. hmmm….. can’t think of anything else. I guess that’s all that’s left (since Bush is now polling higher than Obowma).

    If the pattern for these guys hold true they will stubbornly continue down the road they are on without regard to We The People who are their bosses. That’s what got them in this mess in the first place, and all you leftwingers here who TRULY don’t know that already … and wanna keep blaming powerless republicans for your miserable failures…. should keep doing EXACTLY what you are doing.

    Seriously. You are performing a valuable service. America Thanks You!

    The truth is that it’s all a political game. Nether PARTY really cares about the people, just about being the one in control.

    And actually, if both the House and Senate went R this November it would actually be easier for Obama because in 2 more years, when we are STILL trying to recover from the bungles of the previous Repub controlled government, the Republicans are going to end up taking the blame for not having fixed it in 2 years. It’ll be just like the Dems are being blamed for not having fixed immediately these past 2 years and the cycle will continue until either the economy bounces back on its own or goes into a complete collapse to the point that people can’t waste money on fear mongers anymore.

It’ll be just like the Dems are being blamed for not having fixed immediately these past 2 years and the cycle will continue until either the economy bounces back on its own or goes into a complete collapse to the point that people can’t waste money on fear mongers anymore.

    Ummmm …. ‘the previous Repub controlled government’. How quicky we forget.

    Do tell, can you remember so far back as to recall the “First 100 Days” promises. Now… try REALLY hard to put that on a timeline and then do the math.

    And btw, Bush/ McCain/ Greenspan warned about the housing bubble…. guess who ignored the warnings….

    You know, this gets glazed over too often…. the significance of the HoR. It is the most accountable and responsive to The Will of The People. It is the most truly ‘representative’ of all Big Gov’t and the most indicative of the direction of political winds. Now it seems to be widely accepted that the house will go (R). I don’t wanna jinx it so I’m not counting any chickens (yet) but…. to me this SHOULD BE the most worrisome for the (D)’s. If the shoe was on the other foot (it WAS not that long ago) ….. I would be more concerned about what losing the HoR says about the state of my politics. More specifically.. if I was a leftwinger (or liberal).. I would be taking serious inventory of my idea of ‘good policy’ and giving SERIOUS CONSIDERATION to the debate that is taking place all over America right now. This is serious shit and it seems that people like Mr. Mattews are spending their time trying to figure out how to score a Hail Mary touchdown , down by 40, from deep in their own territory, right before halftime. What they should be doing is taking a knee and going back to the locker room and drawing up a whole new plan for the second half. Then they would have something to talk abouit besides “it could be worse” and …. hmmm….. can’t think of anything else. I guess that’s all that’s left (since Bush is now polling higher than Obowma). If the pattern for these guys hold true they will stubbornly continue down the road they are on without regard to We The People who are their bosses. That’s what got them in this mess in the first place, and all you leftwingers here who TRULY don’t know that already … and wanna keep blaming powerless republicans for your miserable failures…. should keep doing EXACTLY what you are doing. Seriously. You are performing a valuable service. America Thanks You!

    I don’t think that’s quite the right analogy, but it’s close.

    It’s more like the Rs have the ball, and are about to score and close it out. Do the Ds just let the Rs score as quick as possible and get the ball back in hopes of having more time to mount a counter-attack? Or do they hang on their pride as a defense (party, in this case) and just try to keep them from scoring at all?

    People in general seem to be fed up with the Ds, but the Ds don’t think that. They think that everyone somehow just forgot that they’re SUPPOSED to still be blaming the Rs.

    Either way, BOTH sides have been (and continue to be) ugly for quite a while.

    Does Chrissy Hissy Fit Matthews really get his paycheck from the DNC?
    Check out his interview with Sestack. Journalist? Don’t think so.

    And Jon, what’s “two distant”?

    pretty much agree. What are the Con solutions to peak oil? The twin whammy of rising health care costs & a continual lower living wage? Nation building using a mercenary force? Crumbling infrastructure? Shareholder profit dictating short term decision making that is counter productive? Exploding regulatory crises in numerous fields? Forget Global warming and CO2–how about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch

    Dems have been pretty worthless, but it’s just plain laughable that Cons will inherit the sunset on this 200 year experiment. Good luck dickheads–you’ll need it. Beam me up Scotty!

    Sorry Penguin…. if it was Tommy Christopher who wrote that shit he would try to make some BS excuse for it a la Pee Wee……. “I MEANT TO DO THAT!”

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJXU7EVXs2A

    Hey Tommy… still standing behind this stupid challenge?….

    “Give me just one example of someone being accused of racism simply for disagreeing with Obama.”

    How many new ‘examples’ have emerged since I blew your ridiculous assertion out of the water with ‘example’ after ‘example’?

    btw… nice question to Gibbs about Simpsons’ ‘tits’ comment. Good grief dude… if you are really that desperate for material I have a couple of questions that are BEGGIN’ to be asked!

    And still no comment here about the Restoring Honor rally. Hmmm.

  • Nachi

    Chris just kinda functions in an atmosphere of hysteria. He really should be a Republiscum. Yup.

  • Penguin60

    “if you are really that desperate for material I have a couple of questions that are BEGGIN’ to be asked”

    Fear, you and me. I’m afraid with the current “journolists” these tough questions will never be asked.
    There were a lot of questions that should have been asked before the election.

    Hawk, No spelling police allowed here. People that shoot off their mouth about spelling or grammar are always caught at some time. I don’t have time to re-read my comments nor do I want to do it. If I can read and understand what someone is saying why waste time complaining about their spelling or grammar. Oh unless you think you are some elite human being looking down on the rest of us. Is that you Hawk, it appears so?

    Hawk said…………Listen Gordo,
    Stop trying to be a holier than thou about it all. No taxes, fine. No military, No police, no fire dept, no road construction, NO GOVERNMENT!!. That’s what you want? You want everyone and their mothers owning a gun with no one watching over anything? You want the wild freakin west with automatic weapons? You think the states aught to be countries unto themselves?

    Sooooooo Hawk, when did I say we should have NO taxes? Libs like you think the income tax is the only tax there is. Sooooooo dumb. Look up the Fair Tax. It takes care of that list you want to take care of? Did you know there was no income tax for a long time in this country? I don’t have the time, space or inclination to give you a full list of MY proposals on how to run the country. You won’t find them in any Republican talking points. You and all people like you jump to conclusions about people based on one comment here. I have torn apart the birthers and their nonsense here and every other place I run into them.

    You also can’t read. My grandfather died in a mine accident, not illness.
    You are an economic illiterate. You have no idea how business works. You just keep repeating class warfare nonsense.
    Business pays NO taxes, they pass them on to the customer.

    Now go back to smoking that pipe with your nose in the air. We working people are tired of the liberal socialist bull.

    Two comments:

    Hawk: since you are so quick to jump on gordo for misspelling ‘chemical’, I think it’s only fair to point out that it is ‘O-U-G-H-T’ not ‘a-u-g-h-t’. Hmmm, pot, kettle? You need to calm down, dude.

    Fear Monger: I think I love you. lol lol lol

  • CAconservative

    If Matthews can’t figure out why people don’t like Obimbo, how can he advise him on the inevitable? That thing running up the back of his leg has led to a chronic condition called….STUPID!

  • CAconservative

    Mr.Hawk….last I heard, states are countries unto themselves. Just in case you didn’t know, states do have the right to secede. They also have the right not to take crap from this government. By the way, neither do “we the people”, who actually pay for all the crap your yelling about!

  • Sunnyr

    Does this ego-maniac actuallyh think the Messiah is going to listen to anything that comes out of his stupid, slobbering mouth? pfft! rotflmao!! Mr. Tingles needs a reality check…..like his ratings numbers. As for Captain Clueless, he’s toast and will be booted out in 2012. He’ll probably not run to avoid a smashing defeat. Coward.

    Hey Miss Manners.

    Correct spelling should be considered important. This is a Spelled Word medium, after all. Granted, everyone typos from time to time and that’s expected. Still, what’s entered, once you hit the Submit Comment button, should be pretty clean.

    Pretend that your entry is going to your English 301 professor…
    You misspell, you are lower in his esteem, you didn’t catch it out of laziness and he’s not happy.

    As a matter of personal pride, I’d advocate checking that everything’s right with grammar and spelling before hitting the “go” button. Otherwise, you start resembling those HuffingtonPost goofballs

    Matthews is the LAST person that should be giving advice about avoiding catastrophe considering that is what his show has been. He needs to do us all afavor and disappear.

    I thought for awhile there, Chris, that a bolt of lightening had struck your studio, you started out great…could it be, I thought, this man is really talking reality or just cushioning the fall when the republicans get in office. How odd, that only a month or two away from voting, Obama stops partying, starts smiling & begins to make a frail attempt at “setting things straight” with the voters. Guess what Sir…we’re not falling for it..you had your chance & perhaps more than any other President, and I feel you have failed miserably. You are messing up so many peoples’ lives, your allegiance to the Mosque & the Muslims, your ignoring the illegal situation at the borders ,.your aim at securing amnesty for those already here, your refusal to attend the “Boy Scouts of America”, allowing your wife to spend thousands of dollars on a vacation in Spain, along with the cost of security, your numerous vacations at a time when there are major decisions to be made, allowing free reign of congress, attempting to change our constitution where you feel it seems fit. Chris, I know you are only doing your job but….you picked the wrong side!
