Chris Matthews even has me blubbering

[eleny]

Saying that Obama has done everything right being a good father etc etc - So what will it take for people to consider voting for the black guy. At least consider him.

Matthews is doing his own ad for Obama. I'm in shock that he's gone this far tonight.

[OhioChick]

1. I was surprised, myself! n/t

[eleny]

4. yup, for sure

[roguevalley]

39. actually, he has been saying things like this for months now. he truly has also

on Letterman and such.

[shoopnyc]

2. I NORMALLY HATE CHRIS. BUT HE WAS JUST GREAT.

[eleny]

5. I hope it's on You Tube soon

I need to see that again.

[BigBearJohn]

3. I give hima lot of credit for that. who the hell else has the guts?

[eleny]

6. He's crossed a line and joined keith with that plea

No mistake about where he stands.

[Solomon]

68. Not true. I've seen this before. He does a 180 the very next day

everytime he gushes about Obama. I hate him more than the ones who consistently stick to their candidate than this guy. He makes me sick the way he flip flops.

And usually whenever he goes to far, he makes up for it the next day so you can expect him to be talking about what a good chance McCain has today.

[Cha]

7. You know when tweety has you blubbering that

something just happened:bounce:

[eleny]

8. Darn him! Eleny shakes fist at Tweety shaped cloud.

:D

[WinkyDink]

13. Hee!

[eleny]

29. Hi!

:hi:

[JimWis]

9. Chris did great. Really brought it home.

[eleny]

14. Yes, all the way home at that!

[vaberella]

10. That's my TWEETY. I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Not to be punky but I'd totally fuck him when he gets like that. And I would have a blast.

[eleny]

16. Oh, ya big softy!

:D

[Colobo]

30. Wow!

[HughMoran]

11. He know's he's looking at a once in a lifetime leader

(as I watch the filthy hate from the motherfucking right-wing shit heads now)

[eleny]

34. At age 62 I feel the same about him being a once in a lifetime

[HughMoran]

36. This is it

I'm all in.

[Kahuna]

12. Tweety was really emotional. He's pretty much gung ho behind Obama..

and doesn't always try to hide it.

[eleny]

18. I hope Tom Delay saw it and his head 'sploded

[bdamomma]

15. wow, Chris saying give the black guy a chance???

wow.

[eleny]

19. Pleading, no less

[graywarrior]

17. Tweety endorsed Obama tonight

[eleny]

22. Now I hope he does run for that PA Senate seat

Darn him, but he's softened up my hard heart.

[graywarrior]

24. I still don't trust him

But he did good tonight.

[eleny]

31. He needs to cultivate this side of himself - if he can

It's far more effective than his frenetic self.

[Parker CA]

20. The most telling sign from Tweety was that for the first few minutes of his comments

he was in a state of complete calm and peace. He was speaking without his rapid, somewhat stilted dialogue, and he was calm, slow, measured, and the look on his face before he even spoke, more than anything, said it all. It said, this is our next president, and I couldn't be more proud.

[eleny]

25. Obama has that effect on me, too

[democrat2thecore]

21. Chris really put the exclamation point on the Obama program

Wow - what a great 30 minutes it was.

[eleny]

28. It was the fastest 30 minutes, too

[Coexist]

23. I like when he gets emotional

I know a lot of people here hate it - but I find it oddly endearing.

[democrat2thecore]

26. If you read his books - you know it's REAL. -nt

[eleny]

27. Like someone said, he was so calm and I'll add - sincere

I often don't believe him but tonight I've softened.

[MarthaMyDear]

32. I was blubbering, too! :(

[eleny]

35. Belated welcome to DU

:hi:

[MarthaMyDear]

40. Thanks for the warm welcome, Eleny! :)

:)

(*wipe more tears from my eyes from your so warm welcome!)

What a great night to be a Democrat!

I feel like I'm back in the 90's!

[eleny]

48. Way back in the 90s, huh?!

:rofl:

But I get what you mean. Just struck me as full of humor, too.

[MarthaMyDear]

59. (*shakes cane at Eleny*) Haha! For some...it seems like it was "way back when"...

...it's been a LONG 8 years! :)

[DevonRex]

33. I love Chris today. He had stars in his eyes. He looked all dreamy.

Obama will do that to you.

[eleny]

37. Obama makes me feel calm

After the past 8 years we deserve it.

[DevonRex]

41. Yes. And did you notice even Richard Wolfe (sp) was all dreamy, too?

It's like everybody just calms down when Obama speaks. Like, okay, he's got this. We don't need to be afraid or worried. We just need to do our part.

It is a huge relief.

[eleny]

46. Yeah, Wolfe was pretty calm

It's like everybody's shoulders relaxed all at once.

[Raine]

38. He was GREAT

I was touched... :thumbsup:

[eleny]

58. Donations well spent!

[shireen]

42. i'm getting really fond of Tweety ...

he can be so annoying sometimes, but i just can't help but like the guy. he's got a bit heart, that's for sure.

[DeepModem Mom]

43. Thank you, Tweety. nt

[eleny]

54. And thank you, DMM!

[meow mix]

44. he had tingles going up his legs

again. i bet..

[eleny]

49. Oh snaps! I bet you're right!

:rofl:

He's never going to live that down.

[Upton]

45. He's really come around hasn't he?

sounds like the Chris Mathews I used to hear occasionally on KGO SF.

[eleny]

51. I didn't know he'd appear there

I like Ray and even still miss Bernie (who I hope is okay).

[Upton]

64. He never had his own show

but he used to appear regularly on the late Duane Garrett's show. I remember in 1996, I was a little worried about Bob Dole (sounds silly now) when Chris came on Garrett's show and complete with facts and figures he had me convinced that Dole didn't have a prayer. The way he presented it gave me a peace of mind I remember to this day.

I love Ray, and I miss Bernie too...I guess he's in prison by now...the 10 PM slot hasn't been the same.

[H2O Man]

47. The McCain campaign

shouldn't have attempted to silence him recently. Didn't work.

[eleny]

56. And with McCain on Larry King tonight - the hypocrisy lays in the air

Nice free hour for McCain on the same evening. Hrmph.

[Generator]

50. I'm starting to fear Obama is a vampire

Been watching that show-True Blood on HBO-it's like he's glamming people-or whatever they call it. VERY mysterious powers there.

[eleny]

53. Step away from the cable!

[shaniqua6392]

52. He really is a fair person who hates racism.

He has been speaking out against the slanderous nature of McCain's campaign quite a bit. What he said tonight was awesome. I had just finished crying watching Obama on the television and Chris made me cry all over again.

[eleny]

60. I reached for a fresh tissue, too. I was caught by surprise

[political_Dem]

55. I have my doubts about Tweety too. But he knocked it out of park tonight.

I was shocked and very pleasantly surprised by what he said.

[eleny]

61. It was entirely suitable and I'd bet that he swayed some people on the fence

[Danger Mouse]

57. It was very passionate and moving. I'm glad I stayed to watch it.

Matthews is a good person.

[eleny]

62. I wonder if he even surprised Keith

Early when they were speaking, Tweety seemed to have a certain expression like he had something up his sleeve. Turns out it was positive, cogent and good for the country.

[crazy_vanilla]

63. love ya, Tweeters

:loveya:

[Ian_rd]

65. He really addressed racism in a way rarely done.

The great majority of whites who hold racist views have rationalizations:

1. Blacks are lazy.
2. Blacks just want a hand-out.
3. Blacks have a criminal nature.
4. Blacks think we all owe them a living.

And so when presented with a man who obviously doesn't meet any of those criteria, the logical question, as Matthews puts it, is: "What more do you want before you're willing to vote for a black guy?"

[ruggerson]

66. What a shame he's such a homophobe and a misogynist

but I agree, he gets it as far as race is concerned.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

70. Is he a homophobe?

I knew he was sexist but I hadn't particularly noticed any homophobia from him.

[mwb970]

67. Nobody with a working brain could favor Palin/McCain.

Only Foxbound sheep have the necessary ignorance. Tweety has a brain!

[jonnyblitz]

69. and then tomorrow he will say something not 100 % gushing

about Obama and all you silly fuckers swooning over him today will be screeching for his head with a few posting MSNBC phone numbers to call to complain! :crazy:
