Chris Matthews has had enough

I've heard Chris Matthews express quite a bit of frustration lately with criticisms of Obama, but he was especially withering when Haley Barbour's recent (absurb) assertion that we know less about Obama than any president in history. "He wrote a book," Matthews sneered. Obama actually wrote two books. But it's clear that, as the mid-term elections approach, Republicans are getting further and further from any sort of reality in order to try to fan the flames of doubt about Obama as a leader. I'm still confident that he will win reelection and that the mid-terms will not be a disaster for the Dems. We'll see if my optimism is misplaced.
