Chris Matthews plumbs new depths off the deep end: Obama is Fred Astaire
MARK MCKINNON, FORMER JOHN MCCAIN ADVISER: But I’ll tell ya he’s discovering one thing that President Bush did early on and that, that’s this is a hard job Chris. It’s a really hard job.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Yeah but he’s not saying that.
MCKINNON: Well-
KAREN FINNEY, DNC COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: He’s saying, “It’s the job. I know this is what I signed up for.”
MATTHEWS: He doesn’t look like he’s having a hard time.
MCKINNON: Yeah. Well he is. In fact I think he’s being very candid about it.
FINNEY: No, well I think he’s working hard.
MATTHEWS: Yeah, he’s Fred Astaire out there. He is light-hearted, I mean he’s light, he still moves around with incredible alacrity.
