President Obama may be sinking in the polls, looking at big midterm losses in both the House and Senate, and “fiddling while Rome burns” but he hasn’t lost his thrilling touch where Chris Matthews is concerned.

On Hardball tonight, following a clip of Obama speaking at a campaign stop in 2008 about his working class upbringing and hope, Matthews had this to say:

“You know, I get the same thrill up my leg, all over me, every time I hear those words. I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen, that’s me.”

FWIW, he’s a Holy Cross guy - LaSalle in PA, which is a private Catholic (Christian Brothers) Prep School (not boarding school) in Glenside PA (about halfway between Baltimore and Manhattan) and Holy Cross, which is a Catholic College in MA.

“....Obama speaking at a campaign stop in 2008 about his working class upbringing...”

Huh?

Queer as a $3 bill.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I had to read this over and over to make sure it wasn’t a joke.

But the article appears to be real. Matthews is the joke.

"“....Obama speaking at a campaign stop in 2008 about his working class upbringing...”

Quite right. Haven't you heard the sad story about Barack Obama growing up on the "mean streats" of suburban Honolulu, while living in the home of a bank VP and attending one of most elite private schools in that state. Gritty stuff.

Word is, Obama occasionally had to make his own bed. I know. Tragic.

If I recall correctly, Chris had a similar reaction to John Kennedy.

Chris Matthew is a political hack with an un-American Progressive agenda. He has no objectivity or credibility as a journalist.

Creepy, but LOL!

[JerseyDvl]

I can’t believe that anyone at all watches this sycophant, toadie, and lackey of the Obama administration.
Is Chrissy Matthews the second coming of Larry Sinclair??

[caww]

Would I love to post that on DU!.....can you imagine the response! hahahahahahahahahaha

[mojitojoe]

Ewwww, he’s demented. That is so freaking creepy. What’s wrong with him? I feel like sending him some knee pads.

[mojitojoe]

One of the best ever. No matter how may times I see that, I always crack up!

[gidget7]

Aren’t those rubber room ready yet???

[mojitojoe]

4 sure

[carcraft]

Exactly my thought! The prep school Obama went to, Panahou, is #4 in the NATION and costs about $17,000 a year. LOL these guys ARE FUNNY. His grand mother was a bank executive and his grand dad was retired. Yep grew up on the mean streets while marching across the Selma bridge waiting for the Kennedy airlift..oops I may have the order wrong, Lets see Born at Six so his mother could marry his father who was a goat herder to a well connected political Kenyan family..no darn that's not it either..but I do get a tingle in my legs hearing Obama while I watch gladiator movies..uh no..Darn never mind I'll figure it all out, just don't ask questions and it will all make sense...

Me too!!
