Chris Matthews is Apparently Auditioning for a Fox News Show

Chris Matthews of MSNBC’s Hardball seems to be auditioning for a show of Fox News. Over the last few nights on his program, Matthews has taken the unusual position of hauling unwarranted attacks on the President, questioning the President’s leadership skills and wondering if Mr. Obama has any idea what is happening in America.

Here is an example of how Matthews is updating his resume with some Fox News talking points;

“What part of the presidency does Obama like? He doesn’t like dealing with other politicians — that means his own cabinet, that means members of the congress, either party. He doesn’t particularly like the press…. He likes to write the speeches, likes to rewrite what Favreau and the others wrote for the first draft.

“So what part does he like? He likes going on the road, campaigning, visiting businesses like he does every couple days somewhere in Ohio or somewhere,” Matthews continued. “But what part does he like? He doesn’t like lobbying for the bills he cares about. He doesn’t like selling to the press. He doesn’t like giving orders or giving somebody the power to give orders. He doesn’t seem to like being an executive.”

Matthews also said that the President, who gave him a thrill up his leg back in the 2008 campaign, “obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch.”

The people at Fox News are taking notes.
