Matthews has been around a long time, and has made alot of friends on the left (and with a few traitors on the right). He's finding out the hard way, Obama neither cares for him, nor for his little friends, he has no interest in them, he expects them to follow him.
Matthews is finally discovering, what many of us already knew, his "savior" is a narcissistic fraud, a phony and a self absorbed incompetent buffoon whose own particular brand of elitism, results in him looking down, even at the almighty Chris Matthews. Chris Matthews likes being an insider, or feeling like an insider, but now, he's on the outside, and so are all of the people, he deeply respects and likes.
The man is finding out, that the person he worshipped thinks he, the mighty chris matthews, is beneath him, and below him. He'll still support Zero, but not out of any particular love or admiration, only simply for ideological and partisan reasons, and pure hatred for republicans, and he's going to feel dirty know he has to support someone who looks down on him.
He is just asking for orders
he’s just generating publicity because he lost his Sunday morning show...
This is all true and his statements about "what he's hearing" about Obama not even taking people's calls I think goes further than Chrissie---it goes to top DNC guys and house/senate people. But more than that, Chrissie is stopping short of saying what we've all known, that Barry is LAZY as a president. He has lots of campaign energy, but he doesn't want to do what it takes to govern---even to govern as a radical leftist.
