Matthews: Obama Must Summon All His "Music and Magic" to Pass Health Care
Newsbusters.org ^ | 3-1-10 | Geoffrey Dickens

These must be really desperate times for the Democrats, if the syndicated Chris Matthews Show is any indication, as both the host and one of the guests claimed Barack Obama would need to tap into both military and mystical powers to get a health care reform bill passed. During the intro of his show Matthews postulated that Obama "must ow lead the band with all the music and magic he has in him," and guest panelist Michael Duffy, of Time magazine, reported that Obama is going to unleash "the infantry, the air cover, the artillery" on Congress to get health care passed.

The following exchanges were aired on the February 28 edition of The Chris Matthews Show:

CHRIS MATTHEWS DURING INTRO: Party time! After 13 months of whispering and wooing across the aisle, the President must now win with those on his side. He must rally the Democrats to pass health care because they are all he's got. He must now lead the band with all the music and magic he has in him. Selling victory. To win his biggest test, one he set himself, the President must convince his people the prize is worth the pain. He must teach the deepest of all truths, that it's what you do with what you've got.

That Old Black Magic Lyrics

That old black magic has me in its spell, that old black magic that you weave so well.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.
The same old tingle that I feel inside, and then that elevator starts its ride
And down and down I go, round and round I go, like a leaf that’s caught in the tide.
I should stay away, but what can I do?
I hear your name and I’m aflame
Aflame with such a burning desire that only your kiss can put out the fire.
For you’re the lover I have waited for, the mate that fate had me created for.
And every time your lips meet mine, darling, down and down I go, round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin I’m in, under that old black magic called love.

It damn sure would have been considered racist if a Republican had said it.

Music and magic = Lies and deceit.
