Joseph Curl reports in The Washington Times that Matthews has said the following:
Once having won the office, he seemed to think that that was the end of it in terms of his connection to the American people. … I think everybody feels an absence of communication from the time he’s been elected. And it’s not about not being left-wing enough or too left. That’s not his problem. It’s connection. And Mrs. Obama, she’s an amazing asset. And what has she done? Obesity? How about connecting with the American people about being Americans? I don’t think she’s happy. I don’t think they like being in the White House. The American people can tell that. They don’t seem thrilled at the fact the American people have selected them as our first family. I don’t sense the gratitude, the happiness level, the thrill of being president.I found a source for this quote here on NewsBusters. It is transcript of an interview with host Alex Witt from the MSNBC program Weekends with Alex Witt.
Matthews has wondered about the racism of whites criticizing Obama. Has Matthews' racism surfaced?
