Yes, his Obama fetish reaches new heights in this latest clip. Everything he says — everything — is total (to keep with his western theme) bull.

But what’s interesting is Matthews decided to compare the president not to real men, but to fictional television and movie cowboys who bare no resemblance whatsoever to the real history of the United States. They were actors, playing a character, that never existed in the real world. Matthews would have us believe the president is the strong, silent type — only pulling his gun as a last resort, but never bragging about it.

Compare, then, when Saddam Hussein was captured and when bin Laden was killed. Paul Bremer announced the Hussein news, President Obama called a Sunday night news conference for himself. The president is off to Ground Zero on Thursday, Chris Matthews no doubt thinks, for more of that strong, silent type of leadership.

Matthews is angry that Republicans aren’t giving the president enough credit for his actions, and it’s just not true.
