Chris Matthews: Obama's Smile 'Worth Five to Ten Points' on Election Day
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, there he goes again.
On MSNBC's Hardball Monday, host Chris Matthews said Barack Obama's smile "is worth five to ten points" on Election Day (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS: And finally, how does President Obama view the nasty Romney-Gingrich nomination fight? Well, in last night’s pre-game interview, Matt Lauer asked the President to size up how the race will affect the general election this November, and he had, Matt had a visual aid to help him. Let’s watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MATT LAUER: There's the cover of the New Yorker, the most recent New Yorker, and it has a picture of you watching the big game on TV. And there you are sitting there and up on screen it's not the Patriots and the Giants. It's Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, same team, and they are pummeling each other. And look at the smile on your face there. Is art imitating life here?
BARACK OBAMA: Well, you know, look, I've been through these primaries, they're tough…I think ultimately this will be forgotten by the time they make a decision on who their nominee is. And the American people are going to make a decision on my platform and where I want to take the country and where the Republican does.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MATTHEWS: I think that smile of his is worth five to ten points in the general.
They don't call him "Tingles" for nothing.
Associate Editor’s note: As you are likely aware, since the financial collapse of 2008, charities and non-profit organizations have seen a sharp reduction in donations. Although the environment has improved, contributions are still nowhere near where they were prior to the recession. Unfortunately, the Media Research Center has not been immune. With this in mind, your support has become more important than ever. With a critical election approaching, the liberal media needs to be monitored 24/7. As we have been predicting for months, the press are willing to do anything to get their beloved politicians elected and/or reelected. As such, we need your help to fight this fight. Any contribution, even $10, is greatly appreciated. Please consider a tax-deductible gift to the Media Research Center to help us battle the liberal media. Thank you.

Give me a break. Check YouTube out for various videos of that practiced smile in so many of his pictures, they are identical! That's a sign of a fraud who enjoys deceiving people.

At this point that tingle down his leg is more like a peak or spasm. Or maybe a discharge, emanation or secretion.

Matthews is a traitor to the 1st Amendment
Submitted by Slyrr on Mon, 02/06/2012 - 8:04pm.
Yet more proof that any time when Chris 'Thrill in his pants' Matthews levels any 'criticism' of Obama, it's always weak and backhanded. He is spoon-fed his so-called criticisms of Obama from Axelrod or Obama himself, to help him maintain the appearance of an objective journalist.
He is still nothing but Obama's media slave, and he admitted so in 2009. I shall never forget, nor tire of reminding people that Matthews declared openly that it was 'his job to make Obama look good'.
He's on the take. He takes taxpayer cash, handed to him from Obama through dummy corporations. And in return for Obama keeping his failed network afloat, he gives favorable coverage. He lies about Obama to cover up his failures and magnify his accomplishments. He lies about Obama's opponents to magnify their failures and cover up their accomplishments.
Matthews is a traitor to the 1st Amendment. A free press is supposed to protect the people from corrupt governments and corrupt politicians. They are supposed to be a line of defense to keep the powerful in check. The liberal media has betrayed the purpose of a free press by getting in bed with politicians who are working against the American people.
Obama won't win on his record, so worshippers like . . .

. . . Matthews hope that the voters -- like he -- will fall in love with Obama all over again once he's campaigning, and smiling, and talking about Hope & Change, and giving Matthews a thrill up his leg.
FLASH FOR MATTHEWS: It ain't the smile on Obama's face that's worth 5-10 points. It's the smiles on the voters' faces. If they aren't happy with the way things are come November 2012, it will cost Obama at least 5-10 points.

I dunno about Boy BlahBlah's smile - which is as phony as everything else about him - but I do know that the State Run Media's boot-licking and brown-nosing IS worth a number of points - just look at the last election.
And, by the way, Hitler had a terrible smile, and look where he got.

The reason obama is smiling like that is because Mathews nose is cold.

Because folks like Chissy Matt we busy kissing his a$$ instead of vetting it.
So now that the smile has been downgrades to only 10%, so I think thats a win. TG for new media!

Maybe even Chris realizes BHO has nothing else going for him other than his smile. Very telling.
He does have the best smile in the field. And hey, if smiles create jobs, then maybe we should re-elect him.
Wait a minute, scratch that. The elite media might think of that and sell it among those who love them. Successfully sell it, by the way.

Can hardly wait for O'bama to walk out of the White House for the last time. Then we will see Chrissy sitting on his hardball set, crying and shaking his leg. Music in the background will be B.B. King's " The thrill is gone".

Dear Tingles,
Have you ever considered seeing a shrink?
You seem to be getting sexually aroused at a number of aspects of the Messiah.
First you got the tingles when you thought about Barry in the WH.
Now you are getting a chubby looking at his teeth?
What's next, you will soil yourself at the mere mention of his name?
