The Tingle Didn't Linger: Matthews Turns On Obama?
I don't think he's "turned" on him. He would still walk on his knees over broken glass for the honor of cutting his own throat to give his master a warm footbath.
Still, he's disappointed, and acknowledging that Obama's got problems, among them (as he notes) a complete lack of any sort of agenda, a lack of any kind of winning campaign theme ("is this as good as it gets," Matthews asks of Obama's presidency), and a lack of interest in and aptidude for the position (Obama is a shut-in, kinda).
Speaking of pop culturally relevant, it's telling that Matthews cannot get over JFK, as just about every criticism is a direct comparison to JFK. ("There's no moon program, no Peace Corps" under Obama, he says.)
You know, given that we're probably not going to be ga-ga in love with our nominee-- at least one advantage is that we won't be turning into blubbering jilted wrecks like Matthews over his college hero crush.
