That thrill up the leg you felt Tuesday evening was MSNBC’s Chris Matthews interviewing President Obama, who sat both for a solo interview on “Hardball” and as part of a panel discussing such topics as the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement.

The president did spend the second half of the program engaged in a one-on-one interview, but it was during the panel discussion that he took credit for “yanking” the economy out of crisis.
''I've spent the last six1/2 years yanking this economy out of the worst recession since the Great Depression:'' @BarackObama to @Hardball

In the solo portion of the interview, the president almost succeeded in selling the idea that things are relatively peaceful worldwide.
