Obama's Response To Egypt Crisis Makes Chris Matthews "Ashamed As An American"

Every once in a while when Chris Matthews isn't idiotically railing on Michele Bachmann, and Sarah Palin, and lately Glenn Beck, says something interesting, or at least out of character.

Case in point: This morning he popped up on Morning Joe for a Lent segment during which he strongly criticized America's reaction to the Egyptian uprising and Obama's treatment of Mubarak.

Wasn't [Mubarak] our friend for 30 years?  Are we denying that?...[After Sadat's assassination] we thought things might come apart over there and he held everything together.  He was strong....and now we say it's time for the game...Well we should have prepared this 20, 30 years ago.  Where is the State Dept.?  Don't we have hundreds of people sitting over there in Foggy Bottom with no other job except to know what's going on in Egypt...what are they doing?

That was just his warm-up.  After this he started taking aim, sparing neither Hillary Clinton nor Obama, whom he accused of being "chillingly" transactional instead of relationship-y.

I watch Sec. Clinton today.  I don't get anything.  I see anything more than two and two are four.  I keep waiting for five. Show me you've done your jobs over there...I feel ashamed as an American at how we're doing this...what have we done as leaders and as friends?  All we've done is watch.

That "shame" is rooted in the fact that Matthews thinks of Mubarak as a friend of America.  It's also rooted in a certain naivete over the role of the State Dept., namely to protect U.S. interests, not be "friendly" to dictators under siege from a nation tired of poverty and suppression. And backing Mubarak right now against a very young (population age-wise) nation presumably would leave America more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

But his point about the State Dept. not seeing this coming is well made.   What are all those people in Foggy Bottom doing?   Presumably we'll have to wait for a future memoir on the subject.  Video below.  It's on the long side, but on the upside he doesn't once mention Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, or Michele Bachmann.

So is Chris Matthews a right wing crazy now?   

[Option D]

so you listen to what chris matthews now.. if he said obama is awesome.. you wouldnt put this article on here.. right?

[Fury]

How quickly people forget that the Muslim Brotherhood was likely up to its neck in the Sadat assassination and it was Mubarak that kept Egypt from becoming another Islamist state then. Now we get Obama just handing it over to the Brotherhood 30 years down the road.

[Soul Crusher]

Video at the link.   Even he is appauled at Obama, as should anyone with an ounce of a clue, which does not include you sadly. 

Obama is a revolting piece of shit.   He pisses on everything that came before him.   Allies, tradition, integrity, honor, - he pisses on it.

That is exacty Matthews' point here.   

[The Showstoppa]

I am very impressed that Matthews would come forward and state this.  Actually shows way more backbone than I honestly thought he had.  This nonsense should be getting hammered by ANY responsible journalist.

[Fury]

That is exacty Matthews' point here.   

And he's right. It's hilarious how the MSM just accepts that the MB is "moderate" now because they said they are. Meanwhile, a majority of the major terrorist groups operating today can trace their roots back to the Brotherhood. But hey, they said they're moderate now so it must be true.

This looks moderate for sure:

Dying in the way of Allah is their hope.

What are they waiting for? I say they should get started asap.
