Chris Matthews frets, “Where have all the Obama-ites gone?”

November 9, 2009, 1:00 am · 6 comments

MSNBC offered special programming on election night: All angst, all the time.

Chris Matthews turned into Sybil, alternating back and forth between snarling maniac and jilted lover, pathetic loser and delusional winner. Here he virtually begs White House correspondent to give him some good news.

Matthews: But Chuck, let me get back to you again. Is there such a thing as an Obama believer? In other words, is there a set of beliefs he holds which can be shared by other politicians of the Democratic Party?

Todd: You know, it’s funny you say that. I think right now you’re seeing an argument on the left take place where you’re seeing some criticism of the President — “Hey, where’s all the change?” So I think this is all trying — I think they’re all trying to figure this out. The White House seems to be about, and this President seems to be about pragmatism and — you know, trying to get something done, trying to figure out a solution in Afghanistan, trying to compromise and get health care through.

But you’re right, there isn’t this core set of principles that were so easy to say and do — “change you can believe in” in 2008. I think he’s struggling to translate that to policy. We’re seeing it, this whole Organizing for America wing of the DNC is struggling to work correctly. I think they haven’t figured it out.

Best damn thing we’ve seen on MSNBC in years.

So governing is a tougher gig than campaigning? Who knew?

Can we say, ” The Chickens Have come home to roost”?

Poor Chrisy, no tingle anymore?
