Chris Matthews

Is Chris Matthews coming to the dark side !President Obama to worry. On Friday, the Gallup Poll reported that his approval ratings fell below 50, Matthews said:". . . When politicians begin to get a little too intellectual, they lose connection with the American people. I look at [Timothy] Geithner; I don't think he's a great political spokesperson. I look at this decision to put the trial up at New York City. I look at releasing a mammogram report that says we could do better with less testing. And I begin to think – this administration is getting almost like one that you'd imagine Adlai Stevenson running – highly ethereal, highly intellectual, egg-head. Not connected to real people and their emotional gut feelings about things."and later said worry about Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. He's going to find himself an ACLU lawyer . . . He's going to use that as a platform from hell where he gets to spew his point of view on the Middle East – that kind of thing he's going to sell with the beard and everything – The New York Post is going to be reborn with this guy as the enemy. I just worry that he's going to win this argument for months before he gets executed, if he does get executed. If that ever happens, I worry about this becoming a show for the bad guys."and then said about Obama's controversial bow to the Emperor of Japan,"I have never seen a bow that low. . . . God did he have to bow that low?" Sounds like Chris is starting to see the light or is he just going for rating ? or is this indication that the president has entered truly tenuous territory. we will have to wait and see.

Ps for ones who don't know he works for MSNBC
