Chris Matthews: Obama’s Smile Is Worth Five Or Ten Points In The General Election

February 7, 2012 | Filed under Barack Obama,Douchebag Of The Day,Dumbasses,Media | Posted by

Chris Matthews is the epitome of an “in the tank media figure.” Who could ever forget his comments during the 2008 election that forever labeled him  with the nickname tingles? Commenting about Obama’s interview with Matt Lauer before the Super Bowl, Matthews said that Obama’s smile was worth five or ten points in the general.

Chris Matthews’ open fondness of Barack Obama ads another layer to the term bromance.

As Stu pointed out during Glenn Beck‘s program this morning, Matthews comments are probably accurate solely because so called journalists like Chris Matthews have failed to do their jobs when it comes to scrutinizing and reporting on Obama while he was a Senator, candidate, and now President.

I'm not an author, lawyer, or professor. These seem to be the most common careers of bloggers these days. I'm just an average, commonsense, conservative who lives in a red state that flipped blue. America is lacking in the commonsense department. We've got plenty of lawyers and professors.

    Chris Matthews still has an audience?

  • EricSteel

    Chris is trying out for the coveted 8:00 PM slot on Current TV when it becomes available.

    Statistical analysis conclusively proves that Matthews’ entire audience is composed of conservative bloggers.  If y’all could look away, he’d be off the air in short order.

    I understand, it is like a train wreck and hard not to look when you know what is going to happen.

    Chris Matthews’ comments about Obama sound disturbingly like Herbert.

    I’m tellin’ ya, that warm tingle chrissie feels down his leg is urine!

    Interesting.  So take Obama’s 45% +/- approval rating and subtract the 15-20% he gets from mendacious media bias and the 5-10% he gets from metrosexual socophants like Matthews for his “smile” and that leaves about 15-20%.  Yeah that sounds about right considering that about 15-20% of Americans truly believe in Marxism and are o.k. with Fascism as long as it’s a Marxist Fascist like Obama in charge.

      lol… Marxist Facist? Thanks for demonstrating the supidity of the birther crowd, Bunyun.

        First, why in the world would you think I’m a “birther”?

        And second, the fact that you cannot recognize Fascism and Marxism when Obama is a textbook example of both is in fact a testiment to your own ignorance.

          First, why in the world would you think I’m a “birther”?

          You’re asking the nitwit who painted the entire birther segment as racist by definition. Now he’s just trying to expand that to the entire “Obama’s not all that and a bag of chips after all” population.

          It’s like he’s never figured out that the race card he’s intent on playing is a piss-stained discard from a long-forgotten pinochle deck.

        Is that a picture of you Stephen or are you jealous because chris gets tingles.

  • GarandFan

    Who knew that senility could strike so early.

  • jim_m

    Matthews is just saying stuff to get himself publicity.  His program has such poor ratings that he will do anything to attract attention. 

  • Brian_R_Allen

    Who is Chris Mathews?

    Bring back Mister Tea!

    Obviously, Matthews is working hard for that new pair of “I (heart) Obama” knee pads.
