Was not Chris Matthews
 

the biggest supporter of President Obama ?

This is what he feels and says now...

"“Once having won the office,” the MSNBC cheerleader said, “he seemed to think that that was the end of it in terms of his connection to the American people. … I think everybody feels an absence of communication from the time he’s been elected. And it’s not about not being left-wing enough or too left. That’s not his problem. It’s connection. And Mrs. Obama, she’s an amazing asset. And what has she done? Obesity? How about connecting with the American people about being Americans? I don’t think she’s happy. I don’t think they like being in the White House. The American people can tell that. They don’t seem thrilled at the fact the American people have selected them as our first family. I don’t sense the gratitude, the happiness level, the thrill of being president.”

This is significant in my opinion....the media really blew it BIG TIME IN 2008

This article is just one more drum beat about the democratic party and it's disenchantment with Obama's lack of performance.

must be the Obama supporters are left speechless by the article!

Seems most on here just want to make up cute little names to call people...the new era of politics...belittle and call names.

To me, and obviously ONLY to me, it is signiificant that one of the major supporters of the President feels this way after 3 years.

I have to assume the Chris Matthews has more insight not shared in this interview, but it is important because the media controlled the election in 2011 and this does not bode well for the President to have this guy jump off your bandwagon.

What cute little names are you referring to?

Obama 45.9, Romney 44.4
Obama 49.1, Gingrich 42.3
Obama 49.6, Cain 39.4
Obama 49.8, Perry 40.2
Obama 46.7, Paul 39.0
Obama 49.7, Bachmann 35.7
Obama 45.7, Huntsman 37.0
Obama 45, Santorum 34

Obama 43.5, Generic Republican 43.3

Those posts that call public figures "three stooges", "weasels" and other select goodies. Seems to me that kind of language is elementary school level and serves no purpose except perhaps to make the poster feel better about himself by calling folks names.

I can make a list for you but you get the idea. I never understood the cute little adjectives or names ut as they say....different strokes for different folks.

I suppose that might be political discussion to some. I dont think I have ever called anyone that I oppose a name.
