They’re sad. They’re angry. They’re confused. Damn, it’s a beautiful thing to watch.
Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman just didn’t know what to make of President Obama’s Oval Office Address on the Gusher in the Gulf. But they knew they didn’t like it.
RealClearPolitics has this handy, dandy summary of the trio’s disappointment:
Olbermann: “It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days.”
Matthews: compared Obama to Carter.
Olbermann: “Nothing specific at all was said.”
Matthews: “No direction.”
Fineman: “He wasn’t specific enough.”
Olbermann: “I don’t think he aimed low, I don’t think he aimed at all. It’s startling.”
Fineman: Obama should be acting like a “commander-in-chief.”Matthews: Ludicrous that he keeps saying [Secretary of Energy] Chu has a Nobel prize. “I’ll barf if he does it one more time.”
Matthews: “A lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk.”
Matthews: “I don’t sense executive command.”
Say goodnight, Mr. President. When you’ve lost MSNBC, you’ve lost several dozen Americans.
