Chris Matthews Admits: 'You Know I'm Pretty Pro-Obama in Many Ways'

We already knew that Obama gives MSNBC host Christ Matthews a "tingle." So maybe now that he's admitted that he's "pro-Obama in many ways" shouldn't be surprising. But now at least it's out in the open.

Matthews made the admission during Thursday's "Hardball." Interestingly enough, however, the comment came as Matthews was critiquing the president and his bus tour. Real Clear Politics has the transcript:

"You know I'm pretty pro-Obama in many ways. I sort of like the spirit of his administration. I like the whole direction its taken in terms of responsibility and what it stands for in our country's history. But I have to wonder about the jobs program. Right now let's talk jobs."
