Rachel Maddow Giving Dems a Pep Talk

[Avalux]

Highlighting the accomplishments of Obama and Dem Congress in the past two years. All the things that are boring and have been lost in the cacophony of tea party hysteria.

This is really good.

1. Good idea to include news clips from other networks! nt

[Avalux]

3. Yes, all laid out nicely!

Maybe viewers who might not vote tomorrow will be inspired to do so. ;-)

[polichick]

5. I hope so! nt

[HughMoran]

2. It is good.

As I watch it, I remember the hundreds of posts here talking down these accomplishments as if no credit should be given to Democrats. :puke:

[Avalux]

6. "they got a lot of hard stuff done on hard problems in not a lot of time,

the Democrats' choice is to decide if it's worth it".

Rachel's words just now.

4. this will definitely be a clip to email to every voter. nt

[Avalux]

10. It is - we'd better get busy.

I'll be sending it to my family in PA.

7. If all of this would've been covered more instead of giving RWers so much time to

totally distort the accomplishments, we'd gain seats again THIS time!

[Avalux]

8. Agree - damn shame isn't it?

The Media is on a gigantic ego trip; influencing society instead of keeping it informed to make its own decisions.

[jenmito]

14. Yup...

it's as if the media tried its best to bring Obama down. Or to cause conflict.

[jillan]

I posted basically the same thing. Rachel is the only one I can think of that

does this. Why?????

[jenmito]

17. I guess it's because she's the only smart media TV host.

She IS a Rhodes Scholar, afterall.

18. Even Jon Stewart (who should f#$king know better) pushes the "they did nothing" or "what they did

sucks" line ALL THE TIME.

The right bashes and lies about Obama and the Democratic Congress 24/7. The left criticized or ignored what got done. Now everyone wonders why no one appreciates all these accomplishments. Hmmm I wonder...

I know the left-leaning media takes pride in being critical of Democrats and not being cheerleaders but when that is coupled with the 27/7 hate machine on the right, well, it is a recipe for having power and control for very limited amounts of time and it guarantees that future Presidents and Congresses will sure as hell avoid large-scale, major legislation like the plague because you are only going to get kicked in the teeth for it.

11. dupe

12. triplicate? what is with my computer?

[Avalux]

13. You just wanted to get your point across!

:hi:

[OhioBlue]

22. +1

[ecstatic]

27. Exactly what I've been thinking. Too little, too

f*cking late! :mad:

[jillan]

9. Excellent show - if only more pundits would do this, we might not be in the predicament we are

right now.

[angee_is_mad]

15. REALLY?

Ms. Rachel "talk me down" Maddow? WOW, Good for her.

[Avalux]

16. She was great and the segment was fantastic.

Look for it and watch later. Very positive and full of facts. :D

[Pirate Smile]

19. She has done this a few times. She is truly alone in highlighting it. She manages to try to convey

some perspective which is what has been sorely lacking.

[jillan]

20. I'm going to give credit to one other person - Randi Rhodes. She has done a great job making sure

people know about all the positive things this administration has done.

[jenmito]

21. Did you see when she played parts of the Repubs.' 1/2 hour "closing argument" ad?

I think it'll backfire. It's s rehash of everything they tried in '08.

[Avalux]

24. I did and I hope you're right.

Something tells me you might be.

[bagimin]

23. k&r

[impik]

25. That piece almost brought me to tears

What a stunning list of achievements. How can there even be a question.

26. Nobody does it better. Way to go, Rachel.
