"I don’t know anyone else in the country that could have done what the President did today"

MSNBC was giddy with the results and changed their prime time lineup to include a special presentation entitled, “President’s Question Time” anchored by Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow with Chris Matthews joining in by satellite (see video below from MSNBC).

The effusive praise of the President by Olbermann and Maddow bordered on the type of sycophantic adoration usually reserved for star-struck lovers or cult followers. In the world of MSNBC the openly ideological Leftist Matthews may have been considered too moderate to join the co-hosts, or perhaps just too crazy. Matthews does have an occasional passing, whimsical dalliance with objectivity, but the tingle remains.
