It is Chris Matthews, so perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised. But can we make this weepy-eyed stuff stop already?
I thought Barack Obama’s speech last night was impressive. He easily outclassed Hillary Clinton, who gave the best speech of her life right after his. Vocally, maybe it was the hoarseness of having delivered speech after speech after speech, but he even sounded like MLK. The “Yes we can” refrain was a serious lift. Nevertheless, for grown men and especially members of the press to start getting weepy over this is just…unstoppable, apparently.

I love it when Chris ‘Beta-boy’ Matthews tears up. I laugh and laugh and laugh…

I find this embarrassing.
As a voter, I want clear, well thought out positions on issues that affect our country and society, not tears, nor symbolism over substance, the ‘feel good’ laws, or politically expedient slogans and catch phrases.
We went through that during the Clinton years, it was nauseating then, and it is nauseating now, and this buffoon only reinforces my conservative beliefs, not that they needed to be reinforced.
The democrat candidates say they want ‘change’, but never offer anything close to change, except more big government programs, which in turn means less in your paycheck.
Instead of touting ‘change’, they should be stating ‘return’… as in a return to big government programs, big government spending, and big government taxation.
If you think LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ program was bad…if these folks get in…you ain’t seen nothing yet!

I guess he saw his ratings. He has about a sixth (or less) the viewership of O’Reilly.
I have a theory that most of those watching Chris don’t have the motor skills necessary to just change the channel.
He could then be popular in nursing homes, I suppose, where his screeching and high-pitched pointless jabberings would also sound like normal human speech to the hearing-impaired.
Or, in an alternative view, he could easily be confused for a once-beloved yipping Chihuahua.

As a Massachusetts voter, this “Yes, we can” sounds too much like “Together We Can” from our worthless Governor, Deval Patrick, and that’s not going to win Barack votes

If a conservative would have given anything approaching this speech, same words and everything - they would have said, “Who is this guy kidding? Nothing but an act, hollow, and wishful thinking” - I liked the speech. And if he was running for the President of Venezuela I would vote for him. Just like I am voting for McCain for President.(Of Mexico). Si…….
