Say whuuuuut? MSLSD's Chrissy Matthews wants the GOP to credit Obama with the 'amazing' economy

By Correctamundo  





CHRIS MATTHEWS: When is President Obama going to get some credit, and this is like Rodney Dangerfield. When's he going to get some credit for this amazing economy that's coming back. It definitely is coming back, maybe not like gangbusters, but the unemployment rate really dropped again today, and there really are a quarter-million new jobs out there. And the stock market for the rich is going through the roof. When's this guy going to get some respect? Republicans, when are they going to set a standard, 'OK, if he gets to this number, we'll love him.' You ought to ask this question. Will they ever admit he's doing a good job?
When is President Obama going to get some credit, and this is like Rodney Dangerfield. When's he going to get some credit for this amazing economy that's coming back.  Rodney was after respect, not credit, moron. Obama can't get any credit because our bank rating has been DOWNGRADED on his watch. That's pretty amazing, huh?
It definitely is coming back, maybe not like gangbusters, but the unemployment rate really dropped again today, and there really are a quarter-million new jobs out there. And the stock market for the rich is going through the roof.  Oooo, did it really drop again, Chrissy?  And the only part of the unemployment rate that gets any press is the U3. Have you looked at the other 5 levels of the rate that don't get reported, like the U6 which was over 14% in Dec 2012, Chrissy? Hello....hello....are you awake, Chrissy? I didn't know the stock market was limited to only the rich - and what qualifies you as rich? Are you qualified as rich, Chrissy? You make $5 million/year and are worth $16M...not to me but to some people you're worth your weight in BS.
When's this guy going to get some respect?  The problem, Chrissy, is that respect is EARNED, not given. Republicans, when are they going to set a standard, 'OK, if he gets to this number, we'll love him.'  This isn't the Love Connection, Chrissy. Nowhere is it written that the president has to be loved by anybody. The number we would like to see is the balanced budget.
You ought to ask this question. Will they ever admit he's doing a good job?  No, we won't because he's not. He's the most devisive, do-nothing president we've ever seen in our country's history. He's even worse than your former boss, Jimmy Carter. They say behind every bad president is a bad speech writer. Where does that put you, Chrissy? Brown-nosing as usual.
Here's some of Obama's handiwork that I'll give him credit for, Chrissy. Hold on to your leg!
