Somebody get Chris Matthews’ leg under control. It’s about to get all tingly.
The MSNBC host who once proclaimed Barack Obama gave him “a thrill going up my leg” is admitting the magic is still there.
The ‘Hardball’ host was discussing the current crop of Democrat presidential candidates, many of whom have gone after former vice president Joe Biden and Obama’s legacy during recent debates. Several fringe candidates have seized on Obama’s deportation policies and signature health care law as a line of attack to separate themselves from the former president’s policies.
Matthews makes it clear he’s not about to abandon the S.S. Obama, however.
Matthews + Obama = Thrill
“The historic nature of Barack Obama running in ‘08 and ‘12 was so dramatic, I can understand why people of color who don’t normally vote, think it’s all BS or whatever, showed up because it was so thrilling,” Matthews said on Thursday’s program.
“I mean, I was thrilled. And I get thrilled thinking about what happened in ‘08. It’s still thrilling to me,” he gushed.

“It is thrilling what he said in ‘04 at the convention in Boston, Obama,” Matthews added. “But you’re not always going to have a thrilling, charismatic African American person of either gender or any background to come on and say I’m the candidate for president.”
Wow. That is some romance novel-level fawning right there. For those keeping score at home, that’s six instances of the word thrill or some variation in under 30 seconds.
The First Thrill
Matthews, for all of his career accomplishments in left-wing media, will forever be known for this line from Obama’s 2008 presidential run:
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.
His integrity fell off the cliff on a number of occasions when the MSNBC host would go through epic contortions to defend the Obama legacy, even going so far as to declare the words ‘Islamic‘ and ‘Chicago‘ to be racist, especially if they’re used to criticize Barack.
In 2015, a journalist asked him for an update on his leg.
In that instance, Matthews seemed unwilling to discuss his restless leg syndrome, instead telling the reporter to “go to hell.”
We’re glad to see Chris has come to terms with this issue once again.
Matthews also asked his panel whether or not the Democrats needed a candidate that could have that kind of effect on people in order to beat Trump.
“Does it take that? Or can Elizabeth Warren running with say Buttigieg or something, could they excite the inner cities, could they excite people of color to the degree you’re talking about that needs to win?” he asked.
Sure, Chris. Alfred E. Neuman and a fake Native American are really going to energize minority voters. It’ll be a guaranteed thrill ride.
He sill masturbates to Obama…what a puke.
Chris Mathews is a brain-dead, extremely partisan MSNBC hacker. He can’t be called a reporter any more, and disappear from screen.
What was thrilling was to see the first mulatto president of the United States ignored and not even providing a descent ramp nor official Chinese welcome on his arrival in Beijing…Matthews would be thrilled if he were shown Michelle’s unaltered birth certificate…Go figure…
JUG Head Matthews Spiting all over him self Praising OBOZO With Communist profesor and rest of Communist Commentators Knocking Trump All this BS Started under OBOZO Administration now Blaming Trump and his family
Did this Chris Matthews have sex with Obama or what? Now they are at awe with Michael Moore’s wanting the Fake Woman to run for President! This proves Chris Matthews is totally biased, he would say Ted Cruz was a disease, but Obama was the disease did nothing for the America People, but quickly corrupted the CIA, FBI, NSA, HSA, he knew about Hillary and her illegal email server, he allowed Benghazi to be over run by Muslim Radicals, and Obama allowed Hillary to sell 20% of America’s Uranium. I do believe Obama set up Trump with Hillary’s Bought and paid for Fake Russian Dossier. Obama allowed Comey to interfere with the Transfer of Administrations? No one investigated Obama, Oh its Racist to investigate Obama. Chris just why does “Brennen” still have top security clearance so he can sell information. Listen to this sick group of MSNBC, hate Trumps family, look how OBAMA put thousands of Liberal judges to destroy America! SPIN room is nothing but a way to Spin things into a lie. Yes, they are trying to paint Trump as a Racist which Racism when it was created by the Democrat Party. Just why did they launch a immediate Russian Interference BS against Trump, Comey and Rosenstein plotting by signing FISA warrants against Trump before the elections ended! Democrats supported the Squad which is totally RACIST and biased against the Jewish people like the two Muslim women that’s totally are anti-America. Chris your the Racist, really?
Destroying the Economy, wrecking health care, every day a new promise amounting to nothing more than the lies of a false social globalists “vision” for turning the USA into an ATM for the rest of the world so he could become the King of the world? Yeah that’s real exciting like watching the Towers burn on 9-11, and even in that Obama and wife were disparaging dicks. They depreciated the service of the US military and its members they view as a criminal element and power behind USA not excellence but imperialism. I’m sure they feel the same way Nero felt when he watched Rome burn with the expectation a greater Rome would rise from its ashes, his Rome, and it was only a pathetic fallacy then and it is now..
So Chris Matthews has a gay crush on a gay president, who cares?
Matthews is so thrilled to be thrilled. Obama isn’t stupid. He probably wants to puke listening to Matthews too. Gross……..
Thinking of Obama gives me a reflexive surge at the pit of my stomach.
He should get that thrill checked out First signs of a DVT ?
I love it. :-)
ADD the three years of no Federal salaries & pensions raises-punishing retired old people who relied onlt on SSecurity pensions!!
Hey chris, try a woman, you’ll forget obama!
More proof that the media are racist and hates blacks and other minorities. They hate that their voters, who are freeing themselves from the Liberal democrat plantation, are working, see a brighter future, and have real ‘hope’, thanks to President Trump. And the media, The Enemy Of The People, are mad that they have been exposed as the ‘slave masters’ of that plantation.
O how I sincerely WISH I could click that LIKE button as if it was a casino game!
Their radical and rebellious muslim, worshipers of a flat disk god of revolution and violence who has NO power except those who speak FOR it! IE: Terrorist Tribes.
Still feels that tinkle down his leg! A short secret time with a VERY talented Hollyweird actor is what gave 0’B his gift of presentation! How to sit, stand, express himself, LISTEN (he never learned THAT part either), and show an interest in other peoples opinion (ditto) The talented actor quit when he told 0’B’s owners/creators that he had NEVER met a more arrogant, egotistical man in his history as an actor! He stated that he couldn’t TEACH him anything because he KNEW everything! Similar to a rubber crutch in a Chiropractors office! Looks good standing against a wall; But, don’t lean on it! It’s NEVER capable of helping people WALK unaided! His ONLY agenda formed by his M.E. brothers was to do everything they TOLD him to, in order to bring America to its KNEES! He failed THEM and he failed US! Everything he did was to placate THEM long enough to build up his OWN wealth! Sadly, or ironically, the radicals he put in charge of protecting HIS ill-gotten gains ( so-called commissions from Hilfromhell, et al) are not allowing him access to it! SO, he is back having to depend on others to supply even his most basic needs! Just like he did all his life until he was BOUGHT into politics! Luci Logic; “Karma comes when least expected, arrogantly ignored and undetected! But WHEN it strikes, OH LORD how PAINED! Everything lost and nothing gained”! “Circle of Broken Dreams” brings you back to where you began!
Sending $14 Billion in HARD CASH to IRAN, that’s Thrilling! ‘
Who got the cash????
Thrilling?? That is so weird. Wallace needs to get a life.
You’re actually being too kind….
MSNBC has become a Propaganda Machine, I wonder why everything Trump says they twist into lies. But Chris *worships Obama* I was Ok for him to destroy the health Care of the Middle Class People, they once had good employer based Health Care. Chris why did Obama give the Democrat Congress a exemption from Obama?? Oh the poor Democrat Congress has to by it off the exchange! Oh Ok Chris why can’t I but the same Plan these Politicians have? (That’s right Chris they have Cadillac Health Care Plans) Obama basically called the Health Care the Middle Class had Cadillac and if a employer offered it they would be fined for each person that had it? I know Chris fall on your knees and praise Obama!
Whats up with all this people of color BS? This is how the left tries to keep the black folks on Uncle Sams plantation. Well, there are some that are waking up and figuring out all they have ever received from the dems is lip service. Just need to look at our history to see that Republicans have done far more for them than the left ever has.
Just look at most of the View hosts, Kathy Griffin, Rosie, etc.
Send him a link to BB King.
Check out this sentence “…you’re not always going to have a thrilling, charismatic African American person of either gender or any background to come on and say I’m the candidate for president.” Could anything be much more racist? And they call conservatives racist.
Matthews has one of the most horrific cases of full blown liberalism, ( Which is fatal by the way) that i have ever seen.
You can tell liberalism has been feeding extremely aggressively on Matthews brain stem because there’s not much left .
He’s almost in the full vegetable state at this point just mumbling & foaming at the mouth a bit , full blown liberalism is just a brutal way to go , just awful .
Matthews+MSNBC=”MENTAL”!
Chump
I recall when Barry got elected Matthews said it was his job to see that he was a success, or words to that effect. One has to wonder why that isn’t his job no matter who sits in the Oval. Better yet, why not just report the news of the day, good or bad, for whomever sits there? Just give us the fact, sham.
Matthews is so excited by the thrill that Obama gives him. It must be the last passion in his old age. After the last taste of the kool-aid, Americans woke up with the highest national debt that had ever been racked up, they woke up to the highest unemployment—the numbers didn’t look so bad–except to the workers who had long given up on finding a job. The workers who did find work, found that the positions were part time because Obamacare punished the employer with the highest premiums ever. The Americans who had their own healthcare plan, found their premiums doubled and tripled while their benefits and coverages were cut profoundly. For the first time, Americans could no longer choose their own doctor, or their own plan of healthcare. Americans found that the government had taken over most of the private sector jobs, healthcare, the auto industry, and the banking industry. Before Obama, had America ever heard of the government choosing which auto franchises would stay and which would shut down? Every person employed in every fossil fuel industry either saw their jobs shut down, or their jobs cut down to skeleton crews. The only thing that grew under Obama was hopelessness, unemployment, the national debt, and the government sector. Chris Matthews, if you are listening, Americans woke up in the post-Obama era and found the thrill was gone.
This CRAVEN fanboy is such a CLOWN. He SHOULD be embarrassed the way he continually humps Obama’s leg like a besotted dog, but ole Chrissy is apparently BEYOND SHAME.
I’ll bet that he gets the same “thrill” from watching Liberace reruns!
I used to like it when Darrell Hammond made fun of him on Saturday Night Live. Ya know, in the good old days when it was alright to make fun of the Democrats on that show? Back when the show was actually funny?
He’s still dribbling down his leg? He probably still wets the bed too. What a sad state for progressive media.
I always wondered which leg was he talking about.? The really tiny one or the two bone legs.
Poor guy.
