The rest of our "Top Ten Things We'd Like to See Disappear in 2009" list is on its way, but in the meantime, we have to bring you this news flash..
Only eight days into the new year. Yes, we wondered how long it would take. And Obama has not even been sworn in as President yet. Chris Matthews of MSNBC went there today.
.
While waiting for Pres.-Elect Obama to show up for his nationally televised speech to the nation this morning, Chris and the other talking heads were discussing Obama, and Chris said it, "You know, his press conferences are boring as death!"
.
Oh, poor thick-headed Chris Matthews. And he is thick-headed, he regularly mispronounces words and people's names, (even after those people correct him on the pronunciation of their names), and most damning of all, he thinks "Saturday Night Live" is hi-larious.
.
So poor thick-headed Chris thinks it's the President's job to entertain us. No, thick-headed Chris, it's not. Obama's job will be to try to clean up the fucking disastrous mess that George Bush and Dick Cheney left for him. I don't care if Obama ever makes me laugh, his job is serious and difficult, and I want him to do it right, even if it never makes me laugh or even smile.
.
We have to get past this idea that our President should be "one of us", should be one of the good ol' boys that we'd like to have a beer with. No! The leader of the strongest, most important and most crucial nation in the world should be as smart a human as we can possibly find, a policy wonk, someone who believes in doing the right thing and yes, even boring. The last thing we need is another goof-ball who makes us feel good because he's as dumb and lazy as the rest of us.
.
So get your head out of your ass, Chris Matthews, and thank your lucky stars that Obama is someone who believes his daily briefing papers are something he's supposed to read instead of something to roll up and poke Dick Cheney in the ass with.
