Well, at least he didn't say President Obama doesn't speak with a Negro dialect. That phrase, of course, got Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in hot water recently.
Reid was apparently trying to be complimentary about Obama's fitness as a presidential candidate. Tonight MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews, while assessing the State of the Union address, said Obama was a "post-racial" figure whose presence was no longer a surprise or novelty. "I forgot he was black tonight," he said. Check out the video for his remarks.

Isn't Chris Matthews the guy who said Obama makes his leg shake.
He just can't accept that maybe Obama was elected because of who he is as opposed to the color of his skin.
