MSNBC host Chris Matthews, who said during the 2008 presidential campaign that Democrat candidate Barack Obama gave him a “thrill up his leg,” is at it again, this time using biblical language to describe President Obama coming to the MSNBC studios to do an interview with him.
President Obama and MSNBC’s Chris Matthews during a “Hardball” interview at American University in Washington D.C., Dec. 5, 2013.
Matthews gleefully told his reporter colleagues after the interview: ‘He came amongst us.”
Back in 2008, Matthews said of Obama, “I have to tell you, you know, it’s part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama’s speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often.”
Thursday night, liberal pundits Howard Fineman from Huffington Post and David Corn from Mother Jones joined Matthews for a post-interview analysis.
Fineman noted the president appeared to be “dealing with complexities” of government and said, “Change you can believe in but making change happen is hard.”
Corn said he “saw a president who remains frustrated with the political media culture that he has to work within and that he’s looking to rally people, students, reporters, people within the media.”
“David Corn, you skeptic, he came to us today. He came amongst us,” Matthews replied.
Corn responded that Obama is “trying to rally people behind this vision that he’s promoting for a couple years.”
