President Obama is the "finest president" America has ever had, MSNBC's Chris Matthews gushed Thursday night.
The anchor appeared on "The Late Night Show." Here's an excerpt:
"It's a better movie than you can ever make about a president. He came from nowhere. He had the guts to do it, he went out there and did it. He's the finest president we've had in I don't know how long. Everything he's done, he's cut the unemployment rate in half, he's tripled the stock market as you said a minute ago, he saved the auto industry, he brought about marriage equality. He did so many things. I mean, he did it all, and there's not a bit of scandal. His family is completely perfect. The kids are perfect. He's every conservative's dream of a president, except he's not their dream of a president. It's just not the way it is, for whatever reason, so that's my speech."
