Chris Matthews Rhapsodizes On Obama’s ‘Winning’ ‘Little Boy Smile’

video
» 64 comments

Yesterday, Karl Rove warned Republicans that, depending on how President Obama handles all of the shutdown hullaballoo, it could actually help him with the public. On Hardball today, Chris Matthews and his guests looked into how the President was doing. While the entire panel agreed that it behooved Obama to appear like a “compromiser” and an adult in a city of bickering children, Matthews pointed out something else that would help him; the President’s pearly whites.

After watching a clip of Obama, this was Matthews’ assessment:

“You know, sometimes, Gene [Robinson], he has that, he didn’t have it right there but a minute ago he had that great smile, that little boy smile of his which is so winning. Mark [Halperin] noticed it too. He brings it out. I don’t know if it’s technique.”

Matthews went on to contrast the smile with John Boehner who, he said, always looked like he was “shvitzing.”

You know, it’s too bad Matthews and Glenn Beck aren’t friends because the two of them would have the best slumber parties! I can picture it now, the two of them in their jammies, eating popcorn while flipping through the latest issue of Political Tiger Beat.

“Gosh, Barack is the hunkiest politician! Just look at that smile!”

“What are you talking about? Can’t you just imagine Paul Ryan riding up to you on a big white horse?”

And this would, I imagine, lead into the most disturbing pillow fight in the history of bedding.

    hardon with chris matthews, oops that aint the name of the show is it?

  • BeckFinallyDemoted

    Matthews went on to contrast the smile with John Boehner who, he said, always looked like he was “shvitzing.”

    That’s pretty funny.

    And true.

    Obama always looks so at ease and Boehner looks like he needs to take a wicked dump.

    also…
    “”"‘A new poll from the Pew Research Center shows that as the visibility of the Tea Party movement has increased over the past year, so has its negatives.

    The survey found that currently just 22 percent of respondents “agree” with the Tea Party, while 29 percent said they “disagree.” Another 49 percent said they either had no opinion or hadn’t heard of the Tea Party.

    The numbers mark a turnaround from November, when Tea Party activists helped Republicans net 63 congressional seats and retake control of the House. Last fall, 27 percent of those polled said they agreed with the Tea Party’s views, compared to just 22 percent who said they disagreed. “”"

    Wow.

  • The Lantern of Truth

    They really need to keep the MSNBC bar closed until after Matthews’ show .

    Gag .

  • Layercake

    Mathews is a freak… somebody needs to evaluate him ..he needs meds. He gets tingles up his leg , loves his boyish smile, gets excited wehn he talks, makes him have goosebumps… IM sensing stage 5 stalker status… Ol MR TINGLES might be playing both sides.

  • leftistvermin

    He gets a tingle in his penis when thinking about Obama looking like a little boy.

    Chris Matthews Rhapsodizes On Obama’s ‘Winning’ ‘Little Boy Smile’

    So matthews has a stalker level man crush on a president with a “little boy smile”.

    Can anyone say closet pedophile.

  • Barack Must Go

    As we type the Vice president, Speaker Boehner and leader Reid are all up in the private residence of the White house.

    They are sitting on president Obama’s bed trying, unsuccessfully, to talk him out from under it.

    Barack upon returning home last evening after demanding an early morning resolution to the stalemate, decided to hunker down under his bed, and as of 10 minutes ago is still refusing to come out until an agreement between the parties is reached.

    At first I was kind of leaning toward not shutting down the government, but now I hope it closes and stays that way until sometime in mid January of 2013, God willing.

    Hey Progressives,

    How about a chart showing the $100’s-of-billions the Fed gave to The BANKS!

    That the Banks used to invest overseas & take-overs…for record PROFITS!@!!

    WHERE’S YOURE BOY OBAMA???????????????

  • timzank

    Matthews has always been an combative idiot but he’s just fricking creepy now. Admiration of a President is one thing, all but begging to fellate him is just plain creepy.

  • Sean68

    Matthews didn’t understand Halperin’s look there. It wasn’t a smile; it was a smirk. And a smirk at Matthew’s expense. Halperin’s smart enough to know that Matthews’s a gigantic douchebag with a homo-erotic-white-guilt crush on Obama. Halperin was the guy who stated that the media committed “journalistic malpractice” during the 2008 Presidential Campaign with its pro-Obama bias. But, hey, Halperin, like everyone else, craves that camera time so what’s he gonna do?

  • Layercake

    What is worng with MSNBC? Mathews has the lwoest ratings of jsut about anybody on any netwrk from 5-11 , and they give him a weekend show? Not only does he have a man crush on Obama and obviuosly gets sexualy turned on… but he slobbers a lot…. His is the definition of the term “slob on my nob”

  • TerryDo

    Obama has the same big phony smile, exactly like Julia Roberts. It is that kind of smile that they both say to the public; “Don’t you think I’m pretty?”

  • Layercake

    What must his wife think? Does he make her wear a obama mask in bed at night? Im serious this is freaky and needs to be looked at. I have never seen a male TV ancor admit out loud to the infatuation over a president …. in sexual ways. Im jsut waiting for him to say he has a hard on after a Obama speech…you know its cummming( get it !!!). I want to set up a camera in his room and see if he yells BArry’s name during sex with his wife. ..he probably cant get it up unless she wears that Obama mask. Poor lady !!!

  • Probably NOT wrong

    This is Chris Mathews brain: “Maybe if he just smiles more. He can smile over us and make everything alright. And I will smile back and feel good and tell everyone I feel good and imply that they feel good and that they are smiling. Then we will be winning. After all, this is what politics is all about.”

    It must be so easy being Chris Mathews.

  • notsofast

    My God- what racism!

    Comparing the president of the USA to a “little boy.”

    MG- he would not say that if Barry were white.

    Matthews need sensitivity training from Al Sharpton.

  • notsofast

    Obama to appear like a “compromiser” and an adult in a city of bickering children, ”

    LOL

    He ran away from the entire issue!

    He isn’t leading , he is running away from his responsibility. AGAIN!

  • notsofast

    Ya got to love it; one person asks a black person what sport they played and that person is a racist.

    Matthews compares Barry to a ” little boy” and that’s perfectly acceptable.

    I’m sure that gargoyle Eugen Robinson laughed his head off over that one.

    Is Chris Matthews a pedophile?

  • TfT

    What ever it is, and what ever he does, it is pretty damning and pretty embarrassing. He is like a cultist or something, his mancrush has gone too far and he is marching into a very sick world. COMCAST should rethink keeping him on the air.

    Creepy.

    Oh great, now his third leg is getting thrills.

    All joking aside, it appears Prissy………….err…………Chrissy…………….mmmm……………….Chris is simply an insecure gay who makes himself feel like a non-racist by developing his infatuating crush on Hussein.

  • Paleoconservatarian

    Ever the anti-intellectual, Matthews is enamored still with Obama’s physicality.

    Get a room already. It’s getting embarrassing.

    Obama’s no adult in this situation. Adults lead, they don’t divorce themselves from the process until the last 48 hours because he doesn’t want to be seen standing next to his own party’s demagoguery.

  • Colorado_Conservative

    Someone needs to teach Tingles how to wipe his chin off!

  • ChrisNH

    Yup. People are either out of work or greatly underemployed. Consumer confidence is down and unemployment is up. No one things OBAMO is doing a good job.

    But…Oh!…that SMILE!

    Yeah, Jon! The enemy is FNC… you’re not supposed to point out any negative things when talking about MSNBC, or the media’s lover for Obama.

    You’re part of the problem… just so long as the problem is hurt Obama’s re-election.

  • Dem4Ever

    Hey Tingles…a word of warning…it was talk like that that got Glenn Beck fired. I don’t want to hear about you filing a lawsuit against Comcast when you find yourself in the unemployment line…got it? GOOD!

  • WildMan

    Chris Tingles was really slurring his words today…more than usual. His puffy eyes are telling the world something ain’t right with him…again more so than normal. Not saying he’s doing pot to bring his hyperactivity down because it could very well be meds prescribed by a doctor. The thing is Comcast should pull him until he gets his health back. He looks a lot older all of a sudden and he is white as a ghost. I’m talking pale as in not much blood getting to his head/face/brain and his little hands. Chris is not looking good at all. Chris Matthews is a known sweater and when he finishes his show his shirt is wringing wet. That’s been a known for a long time. But, what bothers me most is the way he has resorted to being a kid on the playground calling everyone names, foaming at the mouth, acting crazy as a loon, coming across as some kind of weird wacko guy with a low IQ.

    Wait…! Nothing has changed. Chrissy has been like that for years except now it is worse. No wonder only Joe S and Cenk/Sink have lower ratings than Chris and he is wallowing around in those two guys sewer of no viewers.

  • WildMan

    BTW…kudos to Mark Halprin (sp?) on that segment for acting like an adult and not falling for Chrissy’s crap. In fact Mark should get his own show on the PMSnbc network replacing Cenk or Angry Nutcase Lawrence O’Donnell. Bring some civility to that goofy cable channel. Also give Chris Jansing one of Tingles hours.

    Just sick and tired of all the partisan static …. which stifles our ability to communicate with each other. And it doesn’t help to have the moderators participating and increasing the snark. Just my opinion.

    Really? That’s interesting…

    I didn’t see you comment that on the Joe Scarborough thread, where Colby (undeniably) crossed the line from reporting to editorializing. In fact… it looks like your response was:

    Tell it like it is Joe!

    Hmmm… interesting.

    Now why don’t you revise your position to be more accurate. You don’t like it when the editors are “snarky” towards people you support. It’s not about the “partisan static,” is it? No… I didn’t think so.

  • Color Me Badd

    Chris Matthews is so funny, I dont watch MSNBC but back when I did he was high entertainment. The best is on those long election shows late at night, when you can tell he is way up past his bedtime and he starts getting a little racist and sexist. Probably the true Chris, definitely a guy from Philly.

  • CAconservative

    His “little boy smile”? I thought it was more akin to Alfred E. Newman, on the cover of Mad-Magazine. I think we can all pretty much believe Matthews is coming out of the closet. It won’t be long until we see Matthews and Barny Frank holding hands and skipping through some park.

  • andthehorseyourodeinon

    Matthews just get a room and give him your best Monica interpretation. Bet you’ll have something running down your leg again. No fool like an old fool. Maybe Barney can come and watch.

  • CAconservative

    Barack Must Go:

    Thanks for that visual. I’m picturing Matthews in a blue-dress with his head bobbing up and down behind a desk. What a great SNL skit that would make.

  • felixw

    Chris Matthews once had real policy discussions on his show. But he now can only operate on a kindergarten level that must be an embarrassment to the Left — if they are still capable of embarrassment. Every night he engages in smears, ridicule and insults against his opponents, meanwhile avoiding honest debate the way Dracula runs away from sunlight. And then he defends Obama on the basis of the stupidest things — the president’s place of birth, his skin color, his smile and the tingle he inspires in Chris’s leg — even though virtually every policy Obama has implemented has been a disaster, whether on the unemployment front, in Afghanistan, on the budget, on the stimulus, on health care, on the border, on gasoline prices, on the economy, etc. This is truly idiocy raised to an art form. Sure, Chris, your hero has a BEAUTIFUL SMILE. But how about talking about the tens of millions of people who can’t find jobs because of Obama’s hostility to the people and businesses who do the hiring? Are hosts at MSNBC forbidden from discussing important issues, or does it just seem that way?

  • OxyCon

    I just read the other day that Malcolm X was getting screwed, literally, by a White business man. Now I’m more then wondering about Matthews’ physical attraction to Obama and the effect that has on his extremities.

  • Barack Must Go

    Dear Jon, In your fantasy which one is you, Glenn or Chris?

  • X-3

    The tingle endures.

  • http://politicallyincorrectlibertarian.wordpress.com PoliticallyIncorrectLibertarian

    Chris Mathews, just hire a black whore and get over your fetish already! Jesus F. Christ! Little boy smile? If Mathews was a Republican the liberal media would be out for blood.
