Matthews on Obamamercial: 'Fabulous...Just Right...Realism'
Newsbusters ^ | October 29, 2008 | Brent Baker

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.

I only saw a clip during Greta and it looked like Barry was on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

LOL!

Just hope the upper middle income still exists if Hussein gains power.

What a bourgeois attitude you have. Off to re-education camp!

It was romance??The man needs help,desperately.

Chrissy has lost it...his marbles and balls. It wouldn't surprise me if he started wearing women's clothes on his show or had a sex-change operation. He is really convinced of his love for Obama.

Seriously, he reminds me of that SNL character Rob Schneider used to play that would have an orgasm mid sentence.

He makes the O face everytime he hears Hussein speak. O O O O

I thought it was Hollywood.

And that's a GOOD thing? Get a room, Chris.

From what I saw it was all emotion and no thinking...hopefully after the first sad story people started to see that.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a sucker for a sad story where people genuinely are hurting but using that for a presidential ‘docudrama’ is a bit over the top.

Chris Matthews is soooo obviously in love.

This is getting so silly, and he is so far gone that he doesn't even realize how much blue-jeans America is snickering.

Pitiful!
