Matthews asks Santelli whom he voted for ping to Today show list.

I’d love get in Krissy Mathew’s face.

[John W]

Pathetic.

MATTHEWS: I want to know where you’re coming from personally, because you’re coming down hard on Barack...

Good to see Chrissy Matthews is so objective and neutral that he can refer to the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue by his first name.

When was the last time Chrissy referred to GWB as either "George" or "Dubya"?

[exist]

Remember that time fair and objective Chris Matthews bashed Palin's wave?

[muawiyah]

Matthews, of course, voted twice for Obama.

[peace with honor]

HEY CHRIS, WHO THE HELL YOU THINK HE VOTED FOR, YOU CLOWN

[txnativegop]

Since when has Matthews gotten on a first name basis with the President. Americans should respect the office, not the man, and as such, when a public figure refers to The One, he should refer to Obama as Mr. President.

I know, it is a double standard, but if the left can do it, why shouldn’t I?

Well, Chris, why don’t you answer this question first -

Which of BO’s legs would you rather hump if you had the chance?

[WestCoastGal]

Why are all these dumbasses on a first name basis with ‘barak’?

[Lucky9teen]

MATTHEWS: I want to know where you’re coming from personally, because you’re coming down hard on Barack, that’s what I’m asking for.

Someone should and it’s about time someone did, especially someone in the media. I HATE that he’s made to be a bad guy because he questions Obama. F*@(%&*ers!!!

[RecallMoran]

But were there thrills running up and down his leg? Matthews thinks his voting for McCain completely destroys his credibility when in fact it makes him seem more rational.

MATTHEWS: I want to know where you’re coming from personally, because you’re coming down hard on Barack, that’s what I’m asking for.

I'm guessing this isn't the first time Chrissy has used the words "coming", "hard", and "Barack" in the same sentence or thought.

[txnativegop]

Only twice? ARE YOU SURE?

[combat_boots]

Chris Matthews has his job, to make 0bama look good and be perceived as a success.

[SparkyBass]

Sorry, Chrissy, he didn't drink the Kool-Aid.. er, Colt 45 like you did.

Though YOUR voting affiliation doesn't affect YOUR reporting.

Santelli should have said “how many times did you vote for Barack?”

[originalbuckeye]

Santelli should have asked Chrissy who he voted for. Of course it would have been Zero. Then Santelli should have pointed out that although Santelli is an analyst, he doesn't present himself as unbiased. Come to think of it I guess Mathews doesn't actually claim objectivity, does he?
