Maddow on Letterman - !!!
Stayed up past my bedtime to watch. Anyway, she said (paraphrasing here) that in his first year Obama has accomplished more legislatively than any other president. The audience cheered and applauded. She also had some very pointed remarks about naysayers. Wish I could remember the details, but wanted to recommend keeping an eye out for video.

6. Where was it?
Is there a video.....or is that something that "many" won't want to be seen?

7. Rachel was a guest on David Letterman tonight.
I would assume there'll be video of it somewhere tomorrow. Couldn't find anything right now at YouTube, though.

And yeah, the "many" probably won't like what she said. ;)

8. That's what I was thinking when
I read what the OP reported on what she said to Dave. Well, that's just too bad they can't take reality.

19. What a sweetheart Rachel is, smart articulate and quick witted
Smart should be emphasised as she blows me away with her grasp of the situation we live in today. Good interview with Letterman too.

If I could stay up that late I'd watch Letterman every night.

10. "The most interesting thing about Obama's first year ...

... is how crazy the opposition has gone in reaction to him. And that's been so exciting -- the Sarah Palin, Michael Steele, Tea Party stuff on the right -- that I think nobody's notice that he's kind of quietly put together the most legislatively accomplished first year of any president in a generation."

15. Rachel is no fool....
Edited on Sat Jan-09-10 12:08 AM by Clio the Leo
.... I dont doubt the sincerity of what she said, but she is smart enough to know not to air any dirty laundry outside the family so to speak. ;)

It's an important to remember when a fellow Democrat is "bashing" the President .... I dont care who it is .... we all know what side our bread is buttered on. The last two weeks responses to Cheney and the GOP attacks on the President on how he's handling national security is proof of that. ALl of those who were upset (and still are) about Afghanistan, were some of his staunchest defenders (on the MSNBC shows.)

When our backs are against the wall and that elephant is breathing down our necks, we'll all come back around.

20. Just watched the two videos on it that are available
and I understand some things better now than I did before. I love that Rachel is advocating on the Democratic side and understands that Obama is doing the best he can with what he is having to deal with. Great interview.
