Umm, because he sucks.



CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me finish tonight with something that’s been bothering me. Why do people hate this president so much? I understand the usual partisan attitudes, how one party doesn’t like to see the other in the White House. Sure. I can understand why people are angered by wars we get sucked into by false arguments. You can count me in on that one. But what’s the Obama hatred all about? Republicans had their chance to modify the health care plan, it was they who decided to sit back and let the Democrats do it all alone. Ask Senators Enzi and Hatch and the others why they dropped out of the bargaining, and let the Democrats in the Senate come up with the 60 votes they needed by themselves. Ask Speaker Boehner why he didn’t want to negotiate a different program. Of course, everyone would have been happier to have a health care bill passed by 70 percent of the Congress rather than a narrow partisan majority. But whose fault was that?

And all this other stuff, the obscure IRS story that’s not gotten tied to any of the Obama political people. The Benghazi brouhaha that was discredited by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee that basically squared the Obama claims with the evidence showing it really was a spontaneous attack probably triggered by a Cairo attack and that dumb anti-Islamic movie out of Los Angeles. Don’t you get the sense that the Obama hatred is a hatred in search of a reason? Whatever comes along, like the CBO report yesterday, becomes another way to find a way to explain hating the guy. Is it the way the guy lives his life? Is it his family? Is that he’s a Democrat, really? Is that the reason to hate him? Or is it just because, just because, just because he is who he is?

Because he is an egomaniacal, narcissistic, socialist/communist pathological liar.

I hate Biden too, if it makes him feel better about my "racism".

Because Chris Matthews lives in a bubble and has no BLOODY clue how the real world works.

Odd that he points the finger at everyone but Obama.

Must be nice to get to sit in the big chair, with none of the responsibility.

Here's a hint, Matthews. I don't hate the guy. I just think he's an ideologue and a dilettante.

Let me finish with something that's been bothering me. Why do people not seem to understand that President Obama represents a political agenda that many find offensive. Many, myself included, find a need to diminish achievement and accomplishment, and to inflict confiscatory taxes on the successful, as offensive to our country's core values. Many, myself included, find the idea that government knows what is best for everyone and seeks to broaden governments reach into everyday lives, as offensive.

I could go on but I'm sure that people like Matthews will never be able to understand. Rigid ideology and idolatry are the mind killers.

I don't like Hannity much, but I caught the end of his show yesterday.

He contended that atheists (and I will add Liberals) are overly bitter and disrespectful of others and others' properties because they can't accept that there is something bigger than themselves. These people see themselves as the Supreme Beings of his/her Bubble.

ie. Obama
ie. Clintons
ie. Bill Nye
ie. LazyTom
ie. Pelosi
ie. Bloomberg

I reckon Right wingers hate him because he's black... Can't think of any other possible reason it may be...

That might have been a legitimate statement except for the fact that they hated him even before he took office.

Who's "they"?

I didn't hate him. I didn't vote for him, but was hoping he'd do a good job anyway.

He hasn't.

Obama wouldn't be liked by Conservative if he were white. He also wouldn't be liked by the Dems.

They as in the people who have hated Obama ever since he took office.

I assure you, he has added millions to that number because of the job he has done. Including many that voted for him.

I don't remotely hate the President. He seems like a fine chap with a loving family and some rather humanizing foibles like sneaking smokes on the back deck.

He's a preety sheety President though.

Every president has those. Look at how many people turned on Bush in his final days.

I don't think they are concerned about that.

Good Presidents care more about what people will think about them in 20 or 30 years. Not how they feel about them now.

Really? This president seems pretty damn thin-skinned.

Are you kidding? Being the first black president and having to deal with all the racism, I think he's done pretty well. If I were in his position, I probably would have blown up by now.

That's not a real black man. Herman Cain is a real black man.

Someone made a movie about killing W.

This is true and I thought that Bush always handled his haters well. What Obama has experienced however is off the charts.

Bush never had to deal with what Obama has gone through.
