Rachel Maddow, the great liberal intellectual of MSNBC, has done a promotional advertisement since the election, which is shown over and over again, and somehow, never wears thin, or becomes boring.
She points out in the commercial that:
There is no chance anymore of abortion rights, as outlined in Roe V. Wade, ever being repealed by the Supreme Court.
Health care reform, upheld by the Supreme Court with the decisive vote of Chief Justice John Roberts, has no possibility of being repealed.
There will not be a further tax cut of 20 percent to billionaires and millionaires, as Mitt Romney promoted.
The United States Constitution is not going to be amended to prevent gay marriage in the future.
The US Department of Energy is not going to be eliminated, as promoted by several Republican contenders for the Presidential nomination.
Detroit and the auto industry did not go bankrupt, and will not go bankrupt, causing the loss of possibly a million or more jobs.
The DREAM Act, allowing a future for the children of illegal immigrants, who cannot be blamed for being brought to America, is assured over the long term.
All of the above could have been different IF Mitt Romney and the Republicans had won the election, but they did not!
Other points could have been made, and were made by this author in the first days after the election, but it is still so thrilling to hear Rachel Maddow in this commercial, no matter how many times it is broadcast!
America is so much better off because of the reelection of Barack Obama!
I couldn’t agree more Professor Feinman. Dr. Maddow is rare delight on cable news. Her intelligence and outstanding ability to view and take an issue apart and then put it back together with her detailed analysis is second to none.
