Chris Matthews Sees Japan Earthquake an 'Opportunity' for Obama to Remind People He Was Born in Hawaii
By Ken Shepherd | March 11, 2011 | 18:51
Hundreds if not thousands of people are dead due to a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. But at least it gave Barack Obama an avenue to remind everyone he was born in Hawaii. That's the silver lining for MSNBC's Chris Matthews.
"Was this sort of a good opportunity for the president to remind everybody that he grew up in the United States and Hawaii?"
[video follows page break]
That's a question that Chris Matthews posed to MSNBC host and White House corresondent Chuck Todd about President Obama taking a question from a Japanese reporter during a news conference earlier today at the White House.
Matthews pegged this question on the fact that there are many persons of Japanese heritage who live in the Hawaiian islands, which were themselves impacted by smaller tsunami resulting from the earthquake.
"That's the first thing I thought of," Matthews insisted. "Such a large number of people believe he grew up in [Kenya], they're buying this thing that's coming from Huckabee," Matthews insisted.
A somewhat visibly flustered Todd politely rejected Matthews's argument:
TODD: Look, do I think they thought this was another chance? No. I mean, they called this press conference because they hadn't had an opportunity to speak about gas prices.... This was a case where events crowded out the whole purpose of the press conference. That's an interesting theory. It certainly did give him an opportunity to remind folks of where he grew up and the folks he grew up with.
MATTHEWS: Yeah, it's pathetic he has to do that, but thank you so much, Chuck Todd.
MATTHEWS: Sorry to bring you into our intramural concerns here, but one of them is this strange critique of him from the right that he's not really one of us that never seems to end. Thank you Chuck Todd for that great reporting on an unusual and very strange topic.

I lost essentially all of my use for Tingles during Bush's re-election campaign in '04, and Obama's '08 campaign killed it off permanently. It's strange what has happened to him...Matthews used to be a fairly reasonable liberal voice, and I actually used to enjoy hearing his views on issues (even though I disagreed with most of them). This was of course back before Bush was first elected president...After that though, Matthews really seemed to go off the deep end like the rest of his liberal media compatriots.

He doesn't like to interview people, and he doesn't like to hear what anyone has to say but himself. What I'm trying to figure out, which does Chris like more - watching others react to his opinions, or simply hearing himself speak. I'd say I'd like to sit down with him for drinks, but I'm afraid he would just speak over me the entire time. Great moderator, that man. OOFHands down, it's hearing himself talk...

As for sitting down with him for a drink, when he's not talking over you, he'd be insulting you and accusing you of being a racist because you're not in love with Obama like he is. All in all, definitely not the way I'd like to kill an hour.

I believe Ken's words included "born" in Hawaii, but those were neither the words of Obama nor Matthews. And, as Ken rightly notes, Obama's reference was in response to a question by a Japanese reporter--not part of his prepared introductory condolences. What's the big deal about his mentioning he grew up in Hawaii (which is also home to many of Japanese descent)? The 'more evidence of narcissism' charge is a bit weak in this instance.Jer...Call me cynical, but when I heard about this earthquake...
Submitted by PrairieSky on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 3:26am.
and that it had affected Hawaii, and knowing that Obama had a presser scheduled, it did cross my mind that he would find some way to remind us all, yet again, that he grew up in Hawaii as a way to insert himself into the story. The fact that his reminder came as part of an answer to a reporter's question really doesn't matter. To be fair to Obama, and in response to your point, we don't know for certain if Obama had or hadn't planned to bring this up on his own, but, given his track record, I wouldn't put it past him. Obama is an astoundingly egocentric person who loves almost nothing better than to be the center of attention. The fact that he did see fit to take the opportunity to mention his connection to Hawaii during his comments (prepared or not) about this horrendous earthquake, which otherwise had absolutely had nothing whatsoever to do with him, I think was a further example of his well established narcissism...You're certainly welcome to your opinion on this, of course.

None of the "birthers" are arguing against his presidency because of where he "grew up"...it's where he was born and what nationality his father was.

Panama Tingles knows , and has said as much, that he cannot produce a simple and commonplace document called a long form birth certificate. He knows that he cannot prove what he so wants to believe. Because of this, it so very much bothers him that he looks for any and all opportunity to try and produce some circumstantial "evidence" supporting what it is wants to believe. The long form birth certificate isn't about Hawaii, it isn't about which hospital, it is about who is actually listed, unmolested and originally, as his biological father. If it is Obama Senior, then the document proves he is not eligible for the office he holds. If it lists another or none at all, again - unamended- then he is busted as a liar and a fraud anyway. Mathews is obsessed with this because he knows the reality and it fills his thoughts every waking minute. Who am I kidding, he probably dreams about it too. As for Todd being taken aback, well, the implosion continues.Absolute nonsense, Ashrak...
Submitted by Jer on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 1:38am.
Obama Senior is already the presumptive father and the certificate previously released ostensibly reflects information which is part of the official birth records in Hawaii. The only definitive method of establishing a different paternity beyond any doubt would be to exhume the body and conduct DNA testing. Furthermore, proving Obama Senior to be the father would not be dispositive of presidential ineligibility by any means--that would require a SCOTUS ruling.Jer

Obama apparently has several half-siblings who were the offspring of Obama Sr. and 3 or 4 different women/wives and would presumably be candidates for DNA matching. That may be the ultimate theoretical solution although I seriously doubt it will occur [in the foreseeable future at least].Furthermore, it's unlikely the committed birthers will EVER accept mere documentation. I've heard too many of them say that any "records" corroborating Obama's Hawaiian birth would be dismissed as forgeries designed to further the conspiracy of his US citizenship.

So you believe there has been an elaborate, multi-dimensional conspiracy hatched nearly half a century ago, sustained by a breathtaking web of lies, designed to conceal the actual birthplace of Barack Obama, and that numerous family members, wily confederates, and corrupt state personnel have been complicit in the fraud, confident that no one would ever be clever enough, persistent enough, powerful enough, or invested with the sufficient judicial authority to unravel it. Such tales of fantastic artifice and intrigue are fun to talk about, but they generally lack one crucial ingredient necessary to establish reasonable credibility: Common Sense.

To a self-absorbed Beltway troll like Matthews, it's all about political games. Had Matthews been on the air the day after the Japanese attacked our Pacifc Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Matthews would've told us it was a good time for FDR to remind everyone that he'd once been Assistant Secretary of the Navy.What a turd to play politics

Maybe Boy Blunder should REMIND his old buddy , our latest governor - the wholly-owned-by-unions, ultra-red, hippie, cretin Neil Uber-Commie - that he WAS born here in Hawaii, because ol' Neil CANNOT seem to come up with his birth certificate, which he said he was going to do, just to settle the whole 'birther' issue....................Born in Hawaii, but no Birth Certificate
Submitted by Kingfish17 on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 12:04am.
I finally got it figured out. You can't have a long form Birth Certificate if it's an immaculate conception.
"You people" should be ashamed of yourselves. Now his comment about how he was going to raise the level of the seas starts to make more sense.

I know you're being facetious
Submitted by dscott on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 7:44pm.
I know you're being facetious but yes you can have a long form without the father being named, they just put in "unknown". Ironically, that would wipe out all of Obama's issues of eligibility. I think the real issue is that he is ASHAMED of his real birth father just as he is ASHAMED of his grades in college. That's why he refuses to release them to the public unlike every other politician who proudly and loudly hands them out like dollar bills. IF Obama were as smart as Rev. Wright and Paul McCartney claim he is, then it would be rubbed in the face of George W Bush and every conservative. The fact is Obama is dumb as a box of rocks and he has the grades to prove it. Go ahead liberals, PROVE ME WRONG BY RELEASING HIS GRADES THAT HE SEALED.Birth Father

I'm not really sure about the "ashamed" part, but not releasing his original birth certificate because of a different father then his auto-biographies reference is high on my list of reasons why he wouldn't release his birth certificate.

This president has been disgraceful with his wishy-washy inaction on every major issue that's popped up since he took office. The only thing he can be said to have 'done' is push his disaster Obamacare through and then spend all of our money. He did nothing during the oil platform fire for months, except gnash his teeth and say 'plug the dang hole' (as if simply commanding it would make it happen) while blocking foreign assistance. He did nothing when Iran protestors risked their lives against the mullahs. He did nothing about the many radical terrorist attacks under his watch except to say he was 'concerned'. He did nothing about the Egypt protests except to declare from his throne that the mob was acting because HE inspired them. (I am the one I have been waiting for!') Lybia and other Middle East countries are burning - and what is Obama doing? Throwing lavish parties to tribute Motown! Disgraceful! He has done nothing except to say that he is 'watching closely'. Oh - Obama is 'WATCHING'. I feel safer already! He did nothing during the Wisconsin eruption, even after saying he was going to go down there and start marching the picket lines with his union vassals. (He never showed up and during the last presser, he was asked NO questions about the defeat of his precious union thugs) And he is doing nothing now - even while Japan suffers in the aftermath of this quake. Sending an aircraft carrier to 'observe' things? What's the good of that? When a photo of Bush looking out over Katrina was plastered all over the liberal media, they used it to gleefully shout it as 'proof' that Bush didn't care. They said all he did was fly overhead and wouldn't join those who were suffering from the hurricane aftermath. They said he was cold, indifferent, and the even accused him of racism by saying he was glad that the hurricane had killed so many black people. (it was all rubbish, but they didn't care as long as they weren't challenged on their lies) And what has Obama done during every disaster? All he's ever done is say he's 'observing' things and that he's 'concerned'. 'If a brother or sister be destitute and naked, and one of you say to him 'Depart in peace - be ye warmed and filled!', notwithstanding ye gave him not those things which are needful for the body, what profit is your faith unto such? Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead - being alone.' What good does it do the country to have a president and first lady who do nothing but party and stuff their faces while the world is in tumult around them? Bush at least went down to Katrina during the disaster. Obama waits for 2-4 months after the disaster has happened, then maybe turns up to play with tar balls on the beach and get his photo taken if you're lucky.Matgthews...............
