Chris Matthews after covering President Obama's State of the Union address said : “I forgot he was black tonight for an hour." And there was that other time he said about then Senator Obama: "The fact that he's good at basketball doesn't surprise anybody." I don't think Chris Matthews is racist, but seriously... for making his career out of dissecting what everyone else might say and why did they say it, you'd think he might stay a bit more alert to what comes out of his own loud mouth.
