[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Monday could barely contain her excitement as she gushed over how Barack Obama will go down in “history” as the Democrat who got Cube “done.” After a long monologue about the communist country’s history with the United State, Maddow thrilled, “And now today, look at these images of President Obama and his family arriving in Havana. It is almost unbelievable that it’s been nearly 90 years since an American president has set foot in Cuba.” She continued, “President Bill Clinton tried to open up relations with Cuba and failed. President Carter tried to open up relations with Cuba and failed.” Setting up the praise she was about to heap on Obama, Maddow trumpeted, “Nobody knows who will get to write the history of this moment in Cuban history. But in American history, we know, in American history.”
