Matthews speaks positively about Sen Clinton

November 4, 2008

This is a rant I have been looking forward to. Though this is just a snippet. The pro-obama media will now admit that Hillary Clinton isn't that evil after all and she really did put everything into campaigning. Has barry thanked her publicly? No. Has his surrogates? No. Has the pro-obama media? No. And who today is mentioning it of all people? Matthews, who has called her some of the foulest things imaginable (and will be tomorrow and forever) and who said that she only became senator because bill messed around. He's discussing it with Harold Ford. What position has he been vying for? Or was he just brought in to talk about white hands and hot white chicks and the Bradley effect? Anyway hardball weighs in. Yesterday he said she deserved an A and Bill a B+ and the abuse they took? No apology. Never will be. And if something happens in his presidency it will somehow be their fault.

MATTHEWS: Hillary Clinton's dramatic departure - a bit late I would argue - when she had a full house and had a rather dramatic close to her campaign, but she did it so well. And then giving that really positive speech in Denver along with President Clinton speech. I have a sense she shut down the PUMA movement pretty well and that the people who are real Democrats, who supported her. supported her in moving over to back Obama. What's your sense?

FORD: I agree with you. I think even if you ask the obama campaign you will get widespread agreement or consensus that she went out of the way to be helpful to this campaign and came through on the things she promised. Her and her husband helped in many ways. You get the sense...especially in Pennsylvania...the things you need to do to organize and fortify his base and support in some of these key states.

REPUBLICAN DUDE: I will quickly add this. I think Hillary was a trooper and made a difference - but BO did this all by himself with a great staff. If he wins, he will go to Washington owing nobody.

It doesn't get more delusional than this - even from a republican, Owing nobody? Who wasn't even given a week to get over her loss? Who went to the AIPAC the very next day and vouched for barry to the Jewish community? Within 12 hours of her last primary win and after months of being attacked she got up and did her duty to help barry. Who endorsed him before the convention? Who didn't fight at the convention? Who campaigned for him before he was the nominee? Who went along with things even though barry refused to pay down her debt? He raises $800 million dollars - wasting it at the end because he had extra and refused to pay of her debt. That is not right. That says it all about this man -as if you needed more proof of who he is. Owing nobody? It shows you how little this man knows about Chicago politics and what barry has done to get where he is. This is what makes me angry. They spout nonsense while they trash Sen Clinton who said she would do exactly what she did and they have been giving her and her husband grief for months. Bill up until a few days ago.

Matthews wants to know what the deals were: street money, Ed Rendell, decisions on cabinet positions, etc. Then he weighs in on barry's "cleanliness". The ignorance that is the MSM.

MATTHEWS: I'm not saying he's cleaner than other politicians or democrats - he's different. He doesn't like having his hands on street money.

[He knows better. He knows to have middlemen - why Daley is still in office and the old governor is in federal prison and the present one is being investigated. Why? His connection to Rezko.]

"He doesn't like making cabinet deals." [He just said he didn't know.]

"He doesn't like the old politics." [Chicago politics make Washington look like kindergarten.]

"He doesn't work with committee chairs, the county chairs."

[He didn't have to. He had his own money so he could pay his own people. And he had enough money to pay them out of pocket in cash.]

"He does it his way. I'm not saying it's better - in fact, it may offend me."

[Something about barry offending hardball?]

"It is something we should take into account."

"And by the way, he's not super clean."

[He's not clean at all. You enter Chicago politics, you have to dirty yourself to get in.]

"He didn't take federal money. He changed his mind on that. Let's keep clear on that."

Yeah, let's. But he only brings it up after $800million dollars and after the votes have been cast.

OLBERMANN - over in the corner. He didn't change his mind on that. I read the document.

Says it all - barry admitted to changing it on multiple occasions. He'd defend barry to barry.
