(Mediaite) -- It’s far from a secret that MSNBC host Chris Matthews has something of a soft spot for President Barack Obama. Matthews lamteted: 

He’s not only broken any law, he’s never done anything wrong. He’s the perfect father, the perfect husband, the perfect American — and all they do is trash the guy. And it’s impossible for me to believe they would have said the same thing about a Walter Mondale, a Jimmy Carter or a Bill Clinton.
