IS MATTHEWS SERIOUS? Chris Matthews on his show today, October 2, 2014, in reference to President Obama, stated smart Presidents like Kennedy, Reagan, etc., surround themselves with people smarter than them, to challenge them, but this administration isnt like that, because theyve filled the White House with staffers that are yes people. Has this guy no sense of respect of the President or his intelligence? How many on his staff can be much smarter than a Harvard University graduate that held the most prestigious position in the country as President of the Harvard Law Review, graduated from Columbia, was adjunct professor, then a tenured professor, and a practicing attorney, all before deciding to run for any political office?

Two years after graduating, Obama was hired in Chicago as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization originally comprising eight Catholic parishes in Roseland, West Pullman, and Riverdale on Chicagos South Side.
