2008 Flashback: Giddy Chris Matthews Interviews Obama

"Senator Barack Obama, welcome to 'Hardball!' ... Senator Obrama -- I -- Senator Barack Obama ...  [laughing] ... Who's the biggest jock? ... How many of you are for this gentleman? ... Do you have a chuckle that you just couldn't get rid of? ... How do we know you're as tough as Dick Cheney? ... I want to ask you what you're going to be like a tree o'clock in the morning when everything's -- ? ... When did you have you last cigarette? Was that the last time you cried? ... How many smokers are there here right now? Smokers stand up. Come on, be honest ... How good was President Clinton in regulating the hedge funds? ... To see these smiling faces, it must be the most wonderful experience for you .. One of the perks, Senator, of being president of the United States is that you have your own bowling alley. Are you ready to bowl from day one? ... I got another set of cards in the back of the room ... from West Chester University, Senator Barack Obama. Thank you."
