Chris Matthews took issue with the "right-wing" comparing President Obama to former President Jimmy Carter and said it was time someone made them pay for their misinformation. Matthews then went on to draw a contrast between Carter and George W. Bush, positively gushing over Carter's involvement in the Camp David Accords while showing his disdain for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan started during Bush's years as president.

The topic of the Accords came up when Matthews spoke with actor Richard Thomas, most famously known for his role as John Boy Walton on the beloved television show The Waltons, joined the MSNBC host to discuss a new play about the Accords.

Matthews was spurred to defend Carter, saying the "malaise" president was important and successful in leading the peace deal between Israel and Egypt back in 1978, then bashed Bush's military efforts in the Middle East, sarcastically continuing,

Great work Mr. President. Anyway, thanks to the president, many on the right fought loyally and stupidly into war we have a more dangerous situation in the Middle East. Thanks to President Carter, the man they jeer, Israel still has a treaty party with Egypt!

Matthews said that Egypt still honors their agreement 36 years after the fact, then moved on to Obama,

We will see how President Obama does in the history books. We know how "Dubya" has done. And we should remind ourselves occasionally what Jimmy Carter did. Something no other president has done before or since. Made peace between Israel and its chief regional rival. And not only that but getting that rival to recognize its right to exist.

Matthews made no mention of Obama's current handling of the international situation between Russia and Ukraine. Nor did he mention the Obama administration's meetings with Iran, a country that seeks to annihilate the Jewish state of Israel and refuses to recognize their sovereignty.
