Nancy Pelosi and Her Statement

Only time will tell. But don't we say that every time there is a change of "power" in Congress. I never liked Clinton but I do have to take my hat of to him because he was able to enter into a "perfect marriage" with the Republican Congress and got things done. It was appear from that the Republicans are more willing to make compromises in favor of the people than the Democrats. Things very oft times start going down hill when the Democrats are in the majority. Thanks for dropping by and adding your thoughts. Appreciate it.

Yep, I'm with you on that one.

I can't wait to see how the dems will spin it when they screw things up worse than they are now@!

You could be right and if you are that is not the time or place to be joking. She has made history by being the first woman Speaker of the House and I just felt that her comments weren't fitting the honor or the occasion. Thanks for dropping by and your input.

I hear you. Yesterday I read that she had taken her children and grandchildren to the taking over ceremony. Could it be that she meant that it was for her children and their children showing that history could be made if you put a lot of time and effort into what you do? It's a thought. Thanks for dropping by as always Claudia it's nice to see you.

I couldn't agree with you more. She should have gracefully given her oath as the New Speaker without any trimmings whatsoever. But then again....that is sooooo feminist, a protocol to which I do not adhere. The best way to compete with men is keep your mouth shut and do your job. The personal awards will come later without fanfare and arrogance.

I suppose I should have taken time out from myLot to watch the swearing in ceremony on CNN or Skynews but I was having so much fun and enjoyment I forgot. Only got brief excerpts here in Portuguese news and I was not impressed. I, too, believe that women should get more involved in politics but unles they are filthy rich it is difficult because they would get little support from their party. For myself I do not get involved in women's rights movements unless I feel that there is a substantial purpose. I got ahead by doing my job well and getting along with people on an even playing field. I did not sleep with the boss although there were promises made if I would. I have my dignity and unless I can do on my own merits I am not interested. As for as one party controlling it is usually the Dems who want to show their strength, which to me is a sign of weakness. When Clinton was in office it was a Rep congress but they worked hand in glove and got things done on the national front. Didn't think much of his foreign policy...too much like Jimmy Carter....too passive for my taste. Only time will tell what will happen next but there is one thing I believe and that is that Bush will do his best not to be labelled a "lame duck" president. He will at least try but whether he will be successful or not will depend on Congress.....as usual.

I am not sure whether I agree with you or not. I wear pink booties but that does not mean that I agree with everything women do or think. We don't need "motherly love" in any segment of our government. We need PEOPLE, male or female, who put the intersts and the good of the populace above their own egotistical interests. They are there to serve us not to better themselves in their own eyes....If they can do both then perhaps the value and output for the betterment of our citizens will be fulfilled. I would like to hope so. Thanks for dropping by and for your idea.

Glad you're on the bandwagon with me. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who doesnt get the meaning. Thanks for dropping by.
