Matthews: Obama 'Can Cause a Thrill in the American People' with Both Brain and Heart
During Tuesday's live coverage the Republican presidential primaries in Arizona and Michigan, MSNBC's Chris Matthews again talked about President Obama delivering a "thrill" as he asserted that, unlike GOP candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, Obama has both a "brain" and a "heart" when he makes speeches. Matthews: (Video below)
Barack Obama can do both. He has a brain, and he has a heart, and he can cause a thrill in the American people because he has both.
Matthews's comments came around 10:30 PM EST shortly after Santorum spoke, as he suggested the former Pennsylvania Senator is better at appealing to the "heart" and Romney at appealing to the "head."
Matthews:
If Romney could have given that speech, he would have no problem winning the nomination. We saw the heart of the Republican party separated from its head, to the extent there are hearts and heads involved here. They are separated. This guy can give a passionate speech, as you were pointing out - now you were doing your homework there - without a teleprompter.
Romney can't do what that guy just did. And that's really important. That means on the stump he can't turn people on. He can't turn them on after he wins or after he loses. ... I think he lacks this guy's passion, and I think that's a real loss.
Barack Obama can do both. He has a brain, and he has a heart, and he can cause a thrill in the American people because he has both.
He can have a vision, and he can have a passion to go with that vision. I don't see it getting together here for the Republicans, and I think it's a real challenge for them.

When I watch the dollar amount on the gas pump turn faster while the gallons amount spins slowly, and I know that any effort to change that is being thwarted by numerous gubmint policies.
When I look at the can label in the store and realize the 20 oz can has become 17.5 oz and it costs more than the 20 used to, and understand that the food companies are doing it to stay afloat.
When I see young men that are either laying around on unemployment or working as store clerks when they could be out on a pipeline, mining or construction job or any of the many service companies that support those jobs.
When I see that another local business is laying off people or closing their doors because the price of compliance to gubmint regulations has made it much less profitable, or not profitable at all to continue as before.
Mainly I get a "thrill" when I see another example of a failed President being defended by analphile, toadys like yourself.
And by "thrill" I mean sick to my stomach.

Matthews' Hardball is the most accurately named news or commentary show on television. (Come to think of it, Olbermann's Countdown is close.)

New batch of Kool-Aid?
Submitted by John21 on Wed, 02/29/2012 - 9:24am.
Christie got a new batch of Kool-aid delivered I see. The tingle that he enjoys is not in his heart or brain. He will always have the tingle when the liberals tell him that their agenda will lead to the utopia that doesn't not exist. The delusional are always easy to convince.
Cristie needs to stop playing the "scarecrow" (in search of a brain) and look at the facts and common sense, but that will not happen as long as he is addicted to the Kool-aid.
Actually, with Obama..

MATTHEWS: "Barack Obama can do both. He has a brain, and he has a heart, and he can cause a thrill in the American people because he has both. He can have a vision, and he can have a passion to go with that vision."
Why the word can? Why not has? Hasn't Obama demonstrated these in the past three years, and if not, why not? Is he really as capable as they claim he is?
I believe that the Obama 2012 Campaign will try to look as much like the 2008 Campaign as possible in the vain hope that it can rekindle the same level of intensity and support. Matthews' seems to be recommending (or hoping) that Obama mimic the 2008 Campaign so that he can get a thrill up his leg again.

That slobbering cretin has no brains. All he has is a zombie-like devotion to the object of his worship, OhBummer. He expects us all to buy into his nitwit delusions.
Matthews, if you can hear me over the sound of your brains dripping down from your nasal membranes -- if you want a God, pick a real one, not a two-bit chicken-shi'ite grifter.
He give me a thrill up my leg, and in my head!

Most people would vote for a bag of dog sh&t if they thought it would keep their toilet flushing, Walmart open 24 hours and their cable tv working.
That's all that they are concerned about.

Reading "heart" from a teleprompter is what Obysmal does Tingles when he is on the stump, he reads from a binkyprompter all the time.
Even with that, he says the same tired BS all the time and he mis-speaks all the time.
Brains, where is the proof of his supposed brilliance?
We are not allowed to see his college writing, grades or thesis, his two books were written by someone else...........
These a-holes want a cheerleader, I WANT A LEADER and a smart and proven businessman.
If Tingles wants someone to make him feel good, check out that horrid Al Franken character and look in the mirror....

The Clintons used a U-Haul to carry away their ill gotten goods from our White House. I believe this present will use his intercontinental railway and his long black devil's bus to clean us out totally.
