“…this is part of our North American Land mass, this is part of

president has not acted that way. He has not acted like this is more
important than a fund raiser in California, or a basketball interview
with Marv Albert. He doesn’t seem to be taking ownership. Presidents
must seize control…this is big-time and he hasn’t acted like it’s
big-time.”

“This president’s not acting like Commander-In-Chief. I don’t know
where Rahm Emanuel is. I don’t know where the chain of command is. I
don’t see a chain of command. I don’t sense it’s wartime conditions at
all…all through this time I have not sensed that this president has
been Chief Executive. And if I hear one more time that Secretary Chu
has a Nobel Prize I’m gonna barf. I don’t care. This idiotic cerebral
meritocracy has gotta step aside and let the people who do things take
over. And that means taking command as Commander-In-Chief—that’s my
belief—he hasn’t done it.”

Indeed, Chris Matthews wants "Daddy" to tuck him in, not a manager to
run things, delegate, coordinate, and all that good managerie stuff.
Tweetie is just pining for Commander Codpiece.
