Chris Matthews, early Friday morning, March 11 (12:47 AM EST) on MSNBC after CNN's Republican debate:
“I think Obama was so exciting. I think, you know, I was the thrill up the leg and all that. I admit it I was overwhelmed by his speeches ‘cause I’d go to all these rooms with 200 people in it and I’d never heard anybody speak like Obama. His presidency obviously couldn’t live up to that level. It couldn’t. It was so stellar, the excitement in those crowds. First African-American, young guy, incredibly educated and who could give a speech like nobody’s been able to do since — well, certainly since, on the Democratic side, since Kennedy.”
