Forget last night's debate. The mainstream media is trying to spin it as a devastating Obama win and they can't get away with that any more. People can see for themselves. Even if they missed the entire debate, there are places online to see it in it's entirety. The president came across as petty and mean-spirited. He came across as having a suddenly new position on sequestration that even his own camp had to backtrack on afterwards. In other words, the debate was at best for Obama a draw – not even a win on points. In the big picture the debates helped Romney far more than Obama. So forget last night's debate, let's focus a little bit on some of the untenable positions the media – in this case Chris Matthews – put themselves in, in defense of this president.

Post debate, Chris Matthews once again made the immediate leap to racism. Why? It's not because of the president, it's because of intellectual cowardice.
