Add Chris Matthews to the list of liberals in the media whose fawning adulation of Barack Obama has turned to pointed criticism.
Last week the Insider Report disclosed that CNN commentator Jack Cafferty launched a blistering attack on Obama and the Democrats over the closed-door negotiations to reconcile the House and Senate versions of healthcare reform, asserting that Obama's campaign pledge of transparency was a "lie."
Now Matthews, host of MSNBC's "Hardball," has expressed deep concerns about Obama's spending policies and the debt the federal government is compiling.
"I look at the numbers and I'm worried," Matthews told colleague Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night as they covered Scott Brown's election win in Massachusetts.
"I'm worried about this government committing itself to so many entitlement programs and committing itself to such a level of taxation that supports those entitlement programs . . .
"The debt is too big. The government's taking on too many responsibilities . . .
"We're a dissatisfied people. We are easily drawn to a candidate who promises deliverance. Two years ago, we voted for deliverance with Barack Obama. We will vote for deliverance again in two years if we're not happy."
Matthews was such a staunch supporter of Obama during the campaign that he declared: "I have to tell you, you know, it's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often."
