Matthews: Obama not regular

In June and July, MSNBC's Chris Matthews once again regularly asserted that Obama was somehow fundamentally difference from regular guys such as himself.

• He said that Obama was not middle class, and did not "have that experience that ... most Americans have."
• Using Chicago references, he asked whether Obama was too lower-class or too upper class: "is he too University of Chicago or too South Side Chicago for those people? Which way is he going too far?"
• He wondered aloud if Obama "Can Obama now win over the regular folks, white folks," implying that blacks are somehow not regular.
