He is just asking for orders
He starts out begging for orders, as you watch the whole video, he delves more and more into how Obama doesn't call people, how he doesn't enjoy the company of other democrats, etc.
It takes him a couple of minutes, but you get to the heart, the "please lead us" is the surface, the "ignore" side is the real hurt. You can even see it in his face (I'm not sure if I've ever seen Matthews look like that).
