Chris Matthews: ‘It’s Like Obama Has Ebola!’

Hardball anchor Chris Matthews joked Tuesday evening that Democratic Senate candidates denying their 2008 and 2012 Obama votes were treating President Barack Obama as if he had ebola.

Matthews showed video of Senator Mark Begich (D-AK) avoiding a Republican tracker asking the question (though it’s entirely possible he just doesn’t like GOP trackers).

“That’s the way people walk past guys who are trying to get a buck or a quarter from somebody,” Matthews said.

“It’s like Obama has Ebola,” he added. “I wasn’t near him! I didn’t touch him!”

Obama: 'Don't Touch My Girlfriend'!

YouTuber Richard Brown has this to say:

Democrats say stay away from red states. Vladimir Putin says mitts off Ukraine. But "don't touch my girlfriend?" Not the usual admonition heard by President Barack Obama. Let's be clear: It was a joke. It unfolded while Obama cast an early ballot Monday in Chicago. A young woman, Aia (A-ya) Cooper, was voting next to Obama when her boyfriend, Mike Jones, decided to crack wise: "Mr. President, don't touch my girlfriend.". Obama, laughing, replied: "There's an example of a brother just embarrassing me for no reason." Cooper apologized. But Obama imagined how she would retell the encounter: "I can't believe Mike, he is such a fool. I was just mortified...But fortunately, the president was nice about it, so it's all right." Obama gave her a smooch. "Give him something to talk about."
