		<description>Pfff. Chris Matthews became the court fool for the PrObama movement ever since he got that famous &quot;thrill&quot; up his leg.

Watch him stumblebum his attack against Stewart Rhodes of The Oath Keepers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bs7NrjaNrc

Jeebus! But does know the &#039;Progressive&#039; narrative...I&#039;ll give him that. 
The man does read his marching orders/memos and executes them to the best of his abilities.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;When you look at this administration’s performance to date, it’s like the Democratic Party went out and found themselves a caricature of everything that they complained about/hated/feared with regard to George W Bush… only this time? It’s all &lt;b&gt;true&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;
- Moe Lane

That bears repeating as often as possible.</description>

		<description>One thing you now know is that saying &quot;Obama=Nixon&quot; is beyond the pale. It&#039;s much worse than &quot;Obama=Hitler&quot; or anything else you could come up with. So from now on, one should look for Obama/Nixon analogies just like people used to come up with Bush/Hitler analogies. Just off the top of my head:

Obama was showing his Nixonian side before the current dust up over Fox News. I liked the way he got Oprah to slip &quot;Obama&#039;s the One&quot; in under the radar—&quot;Nixon&#039;s the One&quot; is the all-time-number-one election slogan (followed by &quot;In Your Heart You Know He&#039;s Right&quot;). Obama couldn&#039;t directly plagiarize for obvious reasons, but somehow he foresaw that the public would accept it if &quot;Obama&#039;s the One&quot; was uttered with a blissed-out wide-eyed stare, instead of Nixon&#039;s beady-eyed glare. Obama even introduces his lies and half truths with the Nixonian &quot;let me be (perfectly) clear.&quot; 

Then there&#039;s the way he used the war as a lever. At the time, I thought we were close to getting Iran where we wanted them, but then Obama made it clear that they&#039;d get a much better deal out of him than from Bush, thus prolonging the war. He&#039;s even got Kissinger on some kind of retainer, working the back channels or whatever.</description>

		<description>Even Anderson Cooper, the lifetime bachelor who introduced the gay term &quot;tea-bagger&quot; into the political discourse, had a mildly critical piece about the Obama war on Fox. As for Matthews, wouldn&#039;t you avoid talking about ratings if you were in his shoes?</description>
