Matthews: The reason Obama is president is he opposed the Iraq War

CHRIS MATTHEWS: He stuck his neck out. He put them on the line when he came out against the Iraq War as a young guy. That's why he's president. Somebody should remind him, you know why you're president? Because Hillary didn't do it, and you did. And that's what got you the presidency--you stuck your cajones on the line and said, "I'm against this stupid ass war." And that's why he’s president, not because he’s careful.
