Matthews on Obamamercial: 'Fabulous...Just Right...Realism'
Newsbusters ^ | October 29, 2008 | Brent Baker

Posted on 10/29/2008 7:06:41 PM PDT by St. Louis Conservative

Chris Matthews came aboard the shortened Countdown after MSNBC, unlike FNC and CNN, aired the Obama campaign's half-hour infomercial on Wednesday night, and oozed over how “it was romance. It was realism” and “most important, the connection with the average person in the economic turmoil we face right now I thought was fabulous.” Plus, the setting reminiscent of the Oval Office demonstrated “he's comfortable and we should be comfortable and will be with him in such a setting.” Bottom line for Matthews: “I thought everything was just right.”

The initial reaction from Matthews when asked by Keith Olbermann:

I thought it was Hollywood. It was romance. It was realism. The technical quality of it, the production values were perfect, the way they timed going to live, the biographical material. But most important, the connection with the average person in the economic turmoil we face right now I thought was fabulous. Of course, there we see the setting, which is very much like an Oval Office setting, showing that he's comfortable and we should be comfortable and will be with him in such a setting. I thought everything was just right.

I thought, the most important part of it, I thought, was the biographical, showing him talking about his mom and talking about him taking a chance in history and not wanting to miss it having seen his mother die at a young age. It was very human and I think you'd have to be a tough customer not to be touched by it.

...setting reminiscent of the Oval Office

That ought to be a big turn off for anyone undecided, which was presumably his target audience.
Presumptious SOB.

This is not about what’s good for Obama and what would make Obama happy - This election is about the American people!

MSNBC : Ølberman has Tank Matthews on right after the Pity Party Infomercial,

Matthews is trying to convice us Øbama is a Great Father,
Tank, convince us a Great Father would take his young children to see Reverand Wright year after year, than you may sway a vote, but probably not from Øprah.

Okay, so I missed the informercial due to other commitments. I doubt I would have watched it anyway, but I might have followed the discussion.

In short, did Obama's infomercial play to anyone other than his far-left base? Would an undecided or swing voter be swayed by what he said, provided they even took the time to watch it?

Why is it every time Chrissy talks about Obama I am reminded of the Tropic Thunder scene where Jack Black was tied to the tree and begging to be let loose??

“It was romance?” You mean in a Camelot, Kennedy kind of way?

“Plus, the setting reminiscent of the Oval Office demonstrated ‘he’s comfortable and we should be comfortable and will be with him in such a setting.’”

Of course he’s comfortable fake props, fake script, fake candidate. It is an actors paradise. Heck why don’t we elect Harrison Ford or Bill Pullman or Morgan Freeman? They did a better job of acting as the President.

Dear Chris,
How can tell any thing from a vantage point where you have your lips on Obama’s sphincter?
