I wish more talkers would review the Dem gains like Rachel did,

[napi21]

and do it a lot more often! To open her show tonight Rachel again went down the list of accomplishm ents the Dems have gotten over the last 2 years, and explained that they were landmark changes that all affect our lives. Unfortunately, Pubbies hate change and refer to Obama & the Dems as evil, socialist, & Hitler like, and Progressives al think Obama & the Dems didnt do enough! Rachel even had an historian on who confirmed that history will show that Obama was one of the mot accomplished Presidents, similar to LBJ & FDR. Unfortunately today's American can't seem to see it!

1. That would require them to do some actually reporting. They tend to take the Republican claims at

face value and just repeat them. As far as I can tell Maddow is about the only person who has a news show that does research and reports.

2. 'Today's American' can't see it because it 's just not presented, media-wise..

We here are among the fortunate few, who do see and know.

(Can't explain the complaining 'progs.')

3. Presidents with vision are better for the country than

any short-term gains or losses in midterms. We'll survive no matter what, and be a better country for it. Our side might have to wait for what we want, but progress is inevitable.

4. Most left pundits don't do that for Obama.

"Holding his feet to the fire" is more fun that admitting a victory now and then. It's a shame that more can't do both like Rachel does.

5. For the record American liberals didn't think

FDR or LBJ went far enough, and contemporaries could not see it either.
