Matthews: GOP Lacks ‘Moral Credibility’ to Mock the ‘One President Who Has Succeeded’

‘It doesn’t have the moral credibility to mock the one party and the one president who has succeeded’

Chris Matthews Rants: GOP 'Doesn't Have the Moral Credibility' to 'Mock' ObamaCare Failure (Newsbusters)

Appearing on Saturday's NBC Today, MSNBC host Chris Matthews launched into a rant denouncing Republicans for daring to be critical of the disastrous ObamaCare rollout: "...one party has a health care plan, the other party does not have one. And the one that does not have a health care plan is least able to be critical....It doesn't have the moral credibility to mock the one party and the one president who has succeeded." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]

Matthews implored President Obama: "He has to return it to the issue of morality and the fact that we owe our brothers and sisters health care...He can't get involved in letting this be judged on whether it's successfully rolled out or not, he has to make it back to the question, should we try to bring health care to people who don't have it or not? And put his enemies on the defensive."
