Barack Obama is still giving Chris Matthews thrills. On Thursday night's "Hardball," before throwing to an Obama clip, Matthews gave the following rave review, on his July 24 show, to the Illinois senator's speech in Germany:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: What, what do you make of this? Let's take another bite here because it was quite a speech. You have to judge for yourself but the speech had its thrill factor, certainly once again. Here he was.
However Matthews wasn't in such a jovial mood near the end of the program. Looking over new battleground polls, showing Obama with a lead, Matthews joined guest Bob Herbert in fearing the "polls aren't as accurate as we'd like to think they are."
BOB HERBERT, NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST: Obama should be 15 or 20 or a Democrat should be 15 or 20
percent ahead in the poll, at this stage of the race. And the second thing is I don't trust these polls. I think Obama's numbers are a little bit lower than the polls show and I think McCain's numbers are a little bit higher.
MATTHEWS: That's my fear too. And looking at it I think these polls aren't as accurate as we'd like to think they are.

Where to send the box of Kleenex for Chris
July 24, 2008 - 16:30 ET by GlubberI've asked MSNBC where can I send a box of kleenex so that Chris can clean himself up after having a Obamagasm.
LOL.
July 24, 2008 - 17:41 ET by mjgLOL.

July 25, 2008 - 01:31 ET by DoktorFrankenBetter make that a case. Chris looks like the eager beaver type.
I agree. He needs to hit
July 25, 2008 - 08:58 ET by kgI agree. He needs to hit the stall in the restroom and take care of his thrill once and for all and maybe spare the rest of us.

The only thing I made of his speech was
July 24, 2008 - 16:33 ET by JTPhe didn't have to fly into another country to SLAM this country, he could have just continued to do it here. I heard not one thing that thrilled me.

July 24, 2008 - 16:37 ET by BEGRUNTthrills to Chrissy boy, how nice....BARF!!!! I cant believe people are eating this crap up, and I dont ultimately think they will, he shows no bounce in the polls, and hasn't yet, nor will he IMO.

July 24, 2008 - 16:48 ET by bigtimerI don't hink he is going to get any bounce either Begrunt.
I heard Amanpour on CNN say that she asked some people afterwards what they thought and the reply was something like.... nice, nice, but she couldn't understand why there wasn't raves....(I'm paraphrasing here, but you get the picture)...

July 24, 2008 - 16:56 ET by BEGRUNThis arrogance and ego will be his undoing........oh and taking a dump on the press, i.e., trying to manage them, and by making them think Obamatron is already president. Relegating them to the "back of the bus" so to speak. His positive press may end if he keeps this up.

Why should they rave,they
July 24, 2008 - 17:52 ET by mjgWhy should they rave, Chrissy does enough of a good job of it. Chrissy behave like a kid with an enormous crush. Gross.
Michell's gonna eventually
July 24, 2008 - 16:40 ET by RukusMichell's gonna eventually get jealous and take Chrissy to the woodshed, 'course, he'd love that too! Yak!

The truth is, the speech was a DISAPPOINTMENT
July 24, 2008 - 16:50 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasThe truth is, the speech was a DISAPPOINTMENT. It was bland, uninspiring and WHOLLY predictable. Frankly, I think The Obamanation is going to take a hit from this.
Matthew's desperate reach "it had its thrill factor" is the kind of faint praise that admits failure.
Next Please! If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal.
Matthews' Hero
July 24, 2008 - 17:06 ET by BacchusIn his speech, BO praised Berliners for maintaining hope throughout the days of the airlift. The nerve. The city depended on Americans for supplies and support, you know, back when defending freedom actually meant something.

July 24, 2008 - 17:14 ET by iveseenitallHow old is this guy Matthews? How immature he is. How ignorant he is. How "liberal" he is. Come to think of it, how like Obama he is... It's sad.
NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal
BIAS!!
July 24, 2008 - 17:39 ET by tbbaxterBOB HERBERT, NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST: And the second thing is I don't trust these polls. I think Obama's numbers are a little bit lower than the polls show and I think McCain's numbers are a little bit higher.
MATTHEWS: That's my fear too.
Does anything scream media bias more than this statement? Yet, Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann deny (lie) that they are not bias! They are as vane, vapid and vacuous as the Democratic nominee for president. Judging by the "thrill" that Chris Matthews experienced from Obama's vague and intellectually vacant Berlin speech, he is obviously as ignorant as Obama as well.
They are biased, most
July 24, 2008 - 17:45 ET by mjgThey are biased, most especially Matthews and Olbermann. I wonder if Matthew will ever live that "thrill" comment down.
Thrill----
July 24, 2008 - 19:24 ET by ScrapironI think it's something other than a thrill that a 'democrat' candidate for POTUS would stand in front of a monument to the man who led the destruction (almost) of Europe and was responsible for millions of people dying in his 'camps', and the death of millions on the battle field. Hussein O would give me a thrill only by doing the same thing Hitler did when cornered.
Old, Retired and glad of it.

July 24, 2008 - 23:09 ET by danybhoyMathews, Olbermann errrr, BathTubBoy, & Abrams & his rug have no journalistic value, & thus have no real purpose to be on the air on a cable "news" channel. They are cheerleaders for the left, & for Obama in particular. Imagine these 3 dopes in little cheerleading outfits, nice little short skirts & a little top with the letters "B H O" on the front, with pop-poms? I can, & you should too, & it would be a true depiction of things.
BTW, kudos to the Morning Schmo for saying Olbermann(he did'nt call him out by name, but it was very clear who he meant) was too ignorant & stupid to be on the air. John Gibson had it on his radio show yesterday & today. He tried to paper over it by saying that person he was talking about was not on MSNBC. But Joe pointed out the person he was talking about was waving his arms around & was ranting, & the only 2 people who brought up the McCain story in question that Joe was commenting on were Olbermann & Anderson Cooper. Say what you want about Cooper, he is not a nutjob like BathTubBoy. So when Joe apologized & then claimed he was'nt talking about Olbermann, you are lying Joe. I like you, but you had it right the 1st time. Keith is too stupid to be on TV, but then again, he is, as well as Jerry Springer & his many disfunctional guests.

July 24, 2008 - 20:54 ET by WR JonasThe last thing we need is a President whom the Europeans adore. What does it avail America to continue to protect these socialist ingrates for over sixty years ? We should wean these people back to self reliance and cut them adrift. If their fate is to be over run by Muslims then we should allow that process to proceed. If they cannot find the intelligence and reason to pursue their own survival then it should not be our job to protect them from themselves. There are not more than a handful of people in the whole of Europe who would willingly sacrifice a single Euro dollar or a single life to protect us .
After 9/11 they gasped and shook their heads and muttered that we deserved it. For decades we have accomodated these socialist and their unrelenting leftist loving blase disregard for America as though we owed them something . Its time we let them stand on their own two feet and sink or swim.
Hear, Hear!
July 24, 2008 - 21:53 ET by iveseenitallHear, Hear WR. Americans should be seething with anger that Obama goes to Europe and accuses us of torture and an almost blatant disregard for the "poor" around the world. He should have been praising the virtues of capitalism and democracy instead of listing what he sees as America's faults. He's a Marxist and might as well have quoted the rantings of his mentor, the Rev. Wrong. America is a beacon of hope for the world. It's a shame that Barack Obama doesn't understand that.
NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

July 24, 2008 - 22:17 ET by jefflebowskithat Balack Osama would sell the US out in front of the EuroTrash. He is indeed an embarrassment to our country....like all the other democrats. Those 200,000 unwashed, hairy Germans won't have a single vote.

WR Jonas I had the same thought

Party in Chris' Mouth
July 24, 2008 - 22:34 ET by Lee BoggsThere's a party in Chris Matthews' mouth and Obama's invited.
See, BHO is Christopher's porn. Remember an earlier speech sent a "thrill" up his pants leg. The next one gave him a rise in his pants.
But after listening to so much of the same BHO porn over and over, it's now only got a little bit of a thrill factor. The thrills aren't doing it for him any more. Matthews needs the hardcore stuff. Don't hold back Obama, talk dirty to him.
Obama's 6th sentence - "Did you notice I'm black???"
July 24, 2008 - 23:10 ET by mom_roxOnce again, a liberal brings up one's skin color.

Neglecting - or forgetting (if I want to be kind)
July 25, 2008 - 10:16 ET by Cape Conservativethat both Colin Powell and Condi Rice share his skin color and are AMERICANS who visited Berlin!!!!!!!!! Oh, I forgot, Republican blacks are not the same color as Democrat blacks!
Barack Obama is a racist through and through and there is NO denying it! He is the one to constantly bring it up in his speeches. No Republican has - but he can "warn" the people that "they" will mention his skin color.
I care not whether a candidate is black, purple, white or green - or male or female! QUALIFIED - LOYAL AMERICAN - those are what matter - and Barack Hussein Obama fails in both categories!

Never trust "duh media"...
July 25, 2008 - 09:28 ET by ExtirpaterThere seems to be some confusion on the spelling of his name. Originally it was
Crass Misuse and later became Chris Matthews.
What???
July 25, 2008 - 11:40 ET by GlennWhy is that Obama's numbers may be lower than what the polls indicated a "fear" of Chrissy's?
I fear that Mr. Tingle is not very objective.....

July 25, 2008 - 13:27 ET by G-MoneyHmmm... man tingles before impending disaster. Maybe someone should make a movie about it.
G, how can you compare
July 25, 2008 - 13:32 ET by expatriotG, how can you compare Chrissy to Spiderman?????
What an insult to Peter Parker. At least after his tingling he is kicking bad guy @ss. Chrissy has the tingling and, well, never mind. I like posting on this site.
G, how can you compare
July 25, 2008 - 13:36 ET by G-MoneyI stand corrected. Of the two cartoons, only one is worth watching.
