Matthews on Obamamercial: 'Fabulous...Just Right...Realism'

[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.

For Chrissy, more like a gay porno.

As soon as we take Pennsylvania Nov. 4th, I’m making popcorn and flipping on MSNBC. Watch them implode ;)

I just saw a clip of it on fox. He really did make a fake Oval office. Nobama is full of sh**. How can anyone vote for this guy??

He makes Kerry & Gore look good.

Why is it that idiots like Matthews and that moron for NBC covering Obama, Lee Cowan, just get tingles then Orgasms up their legs and everywhere else about Obama?
Now we got a lot of so-called Conservatives getting that same Big Tingle.
Will Kathleen Parker and Peggy Noonan need to where Depends to soak up some of the excitement they get from Obama??????

[SERKIT]

It was an example of political pornography. Two grown men given Barry a full Lewinski on national television. Pathetic! If Barry saw it, it would bring back memories of a wild limo ride in 1999.

It was a big pity party. Woe is us, we can’t possibly survive without the messiah.

Frankly, I think the people who respond to that sort of thing have already drunk the Koolaid.

I found it insulting.

Why doesn’t Mr. Matthews just ask the man for a date?

he should run for president of the “West Wing” not the US

[Question Liberal Authority]

I’m not an art history expert or anything, but I thought that romance and realism were opposite concepts.

[maizey]

I didn’t watch it, BUT i KNOW Chris tingled......maybe more.

[GoCards]

Okay, just got in from football practice. Missed the good ole 30 Minute infomercial. Did you see it? What is the consensus?

[Force12]

Ha! Matthews, you simpleton.

[BlessingsofLiberty]

Please put me on the “tough customer” list.

In my opinion you would have to be “touched” to
fall for that garbage.

Notwithstanding Chrissy’ BO-gasm, the entire half hour was dreadful - boring, inane, same leftist platitudes, and trotting out every loser in American society.

I had been concerned that BO would move to the center and be reassuring, especially on foreign policy. He did neither.

The live portion was worse. He was strident, nasty and unpresidential. I thought that the end will frighten people, especially seniors.

[Enchante]

Obama pees on Chrissy’s leg and Matthews calls it a “tingling” sensation....

[Gordon Greene]

If it wasn’t so scary, Chris Matthews comments would have me laughing... but it is scary.

I’ve watched bits and pieces of the Obama tv channel and it’s very well done. Very well produced. Very touching. And very much propoganda. This Socialist scumbag (talking about Obama now) has designs on my country, my wallet, my religion and my children. If elected he will be instrumental in bringing this country down.

Chris, I’m not sure if you’re a scum-sucking Socialist moron or if you’re just as fooled as the other ignorant souls quivering in Obama’s wake, but I can assure you; It ain’t worth the tingle, Chris. It just ain’t worth it.

Somebody tell Chrissie that Michelle will kick his A@@ ROYALLY if he doesn’t stop swooning over Barry. He’s taken.

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

It was a big pity party. Woe is us, we can’t possibly survive without the messiah.

Well put. Some of these people should go see how families are struggling in countries that have been controlled by the Left and mired in socialism.

I'd bet Obama's brother George living in a slum in Kenya would LOVE to have the financial problems of some of these people interviewed.
