GOODBYE LEG TINGLE? “I can hardly believe what I’m watching on MSNBC right now. Chris Matthews is almost critical — no, not even almost, he’s flat-out critical of President Obama on the economic front.” With reason, I’d say.

UPDATE: Reader M.A. Lamascolo writes: “Matthews has himself to blame. I want Obama to succeed. I want our country to succeed. I disagree with 85% of Obama’s positions, but I want him and our country to succeed. He can’t do that if he hasn’t been tested. One of the best tests is a campaign. But he didn’t have one of those, he had a coronation. Matthews and his colleagues across the media let our country down. They gave Obama no vetting whatsoever. Now Matthews wants to complain? It’s a little late for that.” Yes, they did let the country down.

MORE: Reader Timothy Gehris emails: “Lamascolo is holding two contradictory propositions. The country can’t succeed if Obama does. Until that is widely and deeply recognized, no adequate solution will present itself.” Uh oh.
