Chris Matthews is well known as a strident supporter and follower of [[Barack Obama]]. There are only two known, documented occasions where Matthews has criticized Obama. The first was when Obama announced a troop increase in Afghanistan at the [[United States Military Academy]] at West Point. Typical for leftist of his generation, Matthews possesses an antipathy towards the U.S. military, he was critical of President Obama for choosing to speak at West Point and referred to the academy as "the enemy camp."
