Is Obama Losing His Magic?

I never thought I'd hear this: MSNBC's Chris Matthews, the guy who once confessed to getting a thrill up his leg when he listened to Barack Obama speak, has now actually been critical of the President.

In commenting on Obama's Tuesday evening speech from the Oval Office, Matthews had this to say:

"Why does he continue to say that the Secretary of Energy has a Nobel Prize? I mean, it's almost gotten ludicrous...I'm not sure whether these degrees are going to help, or these awards from overseas. I think it's interesting we have a blue ribbon panel, now, that's going to look into what went wrong. Can't we move a little quicker than that, than to name a commission, uh, that's what they've done here, another commission and another guy mentioned, they mention for having a Nobel Prize...I don't sense executive command."

If Matthews is being critical of Barack Obama, The Great One must be losing his magic.
