Chris Matthews joined MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts Thursday to discuss his upcoming interview with President Obama, saying he would ask the President some “easier questions” before getting into “fun stuff”.

MATTHEWS: [I’ll] get into questions that I want to get into, with executive management and political dysfunction in this country that we talk about all of the time on the program and get into some easier questions, for example, voter suppression efforts by the Republicans so he can bite into that.

Obama’s appearance on the Hardball College Tour comes at a time when the President faces his lowest approval ratings among young voters (18- to 29-year-olds) to date, with only 41% approving of the President’s job performance. Perhaps even more alarming for Obama, 57% said they disapprove of Obamacare.

Matthews noted that he and his producers had asked the President to join the program for weeks and months, but was only contacted by the White House a week ago to accept, on the condition it was before a college audience.

“So he can bite into that.”
I don’t think there will be any biting,but Chrissy will need a bib to keep the stains off his shirt.

Matthews tough question to expect”

“Mr President, Do you ever have trouble getting out of bed knowing the GOP is just waiting to attack you day in and day out for trying to make Americans lives better? Even when its their ideas you implement?”

...contacted by the White House a week ago to accept, on the condition it was before a college audience.

I'm SURE there were other conditions, as well.

Weren't there, Chrissy?

Not possible Comrade Matthews.

He’ll lie when he answers anyway.

Watch him ask to be a Monica stand-in on national tv.

Chrissy: "Mr. president, which one of your fabulous qualities do you think contributes the most to your overall greatness?"

Matthews: “Did you ever hear about my tingly leg?”

That was my very first thought, too. (Except I wouldn't have phrased it quite that politely.)

Chrissy,
Are there such questions ‘easier’ than the constant barrage of ‘softball’ questions he normally receives.

[PATRIOT1876]

*Soft Ball*

Extreme Soft Ball!

Rush must still be kicking his own ass for allowing Matthews to sub for him way back when.....

We are going to have a hard time understanding Chrissy with his face in Obama's crotch during the whole interview.

I wonder if Obama will allow him to come up for air?

Not that Chrissy would want to...

Those were pretty much the questions the moderators asked Obama during the 2008 and 2012 presidential debates. And there was not one complaint from the GOP elite.
