5. That's not the first time he's done that.
I've seen him do it to at least two other people. One guy was a Republican member of Congress, the other a retired General. Both times it was about the war and Matthews asked, "Who is our enemy in Iraq?" Then he'd get some spin answer and he'd interrupt and say, no, tell me who the enemy is, this is a simple question, etc. I was surprised to see it then and when I saw him do it last night I was reminded of those other instances I had seen.

I'm actually proud of him for doing that kind of thing; I just wish he would do it more, put people on the spot and not let them get away with bullshit.

That Senator last night is representative of the vast majority of Obama supporters I've encountered. Rarely can they answer a question about Obama. They usually give some squishy answer about him being a "community organizer" or they tell you to go to his website.

Matthews needs to do this to every Obama and Hillary supporter he can get on his show.
