One thing that jumped out at me — Matthews saying “Commander, give us our orders!” That needs some thought, but it goes with my reaction when someone says Americans are ungovernable: “Damn right we’re ungovernable! We’re Americans!”
As predicted by many, Leftists are throwing POTUS overboard to save the ideology.
“It’s not the fault of our ideas. It’s the fault of this Barry guy, from Hawaii or Indonesia or wherever.”
I think so.
Not likely. The Won may not be optimal, but the evil conservatives must be beaten regardless.
Obama won’t tell us what he’ll do in his second term. This is because it’s radical, Red and un-American.
For example, Dick Morris says Obama will cede a lot of power to the UN: 1) He’ll support the UN levying a carbon on US airlines; 2) He’ll support the UN assault on the Second Amendment by taxing and/or eliminating hand guns; 3) Obama will support the Law of the Sea Treaty which will tax offshore US oil wells so that the profits can be re-distributed to poor land-bound countries.
Then there are questions of amnesty and, even if Obama loses, who Obama will give presidential pardons to.
I think that item #2 would quickly get out of hand…
“EXECUTIVE ORDERS ON STEROIDS”
Good discussion on Obama’s second term between John Batchelor and Dan Henninger of WSJ:

Start 1/4 way in.
He sounds nearly rational – on, or off his Meds?
I think Chris Matthews is realizing that he’s got about two weeks to distance himself from the loser of the election. Time to start placing blame where it belongs, instead of on events.
The media will not only look incredibly biased, but they will look like fools. It may be too late to correct that perception, but Matthews is trying.
That clip is almost a year old. Upload date is Nov. 20, 2011. I remember alot of conservative blogs posted it when it was “fresh”.
It may be a year old, but Chris Matthews thoughts would probably be exactly the same today….whether he’d publicly voice them is another matter.
I’m all for Chris Matthews getting lost. Obama, too.
