Girl Power...I love it!!!

I'm very proud of Nancy for breaking through the marble ceiling today. It's about time this moment came, after 200 years of male Speakers of the House. As a woman, I did get choked up witnessing this historic moment.

I found time to listen to Pelosi's speech. It was very good. And it gave me hope that she will lead for the people. I think she will be all over the WH on the Iraq War...which will be great for the country and our troops.

Women Rule!!!

Fitzie...Good luck to you & your team in the coming Libby trial. I will keep all of you in my prayers for great success. Thank you for your dedication and hard work!

I like the background mural painting of Rosa Parks behind Nancy Pelosi. Parks' decision and choice that she made in 1955 certainly reflects today: Ms. Parks standing up for what she believed in and break down those barriers. And that is what this country has to do to take back our country and remove the Gerbil. The right of equality was hard to obtain in the year 1955 but the right for equality and freedom are being chipped away from the President in 2007.

Hi guys
If a woman can raise a son to be President then she's wise enough to be one. Yes Nancy Pelosi has made history but woman have been behind the scenes helping their husband become the leaders we see today. We just said good by to President Ford while we so quickly forget the large part Betty played in keeping him strong and focused. I remember the stories about Jackie Robertson crossing the color yet Jackie was more concerned about winning. We make landmark history in America all the time some good some bad. Let's pray that Pelosi and the 110th Congress can ease the blow of the damage and pain of the worse scandal in our history yes the Bush Administration.
Thanks SPB about the information of the two elected officials who allowed Americans who didn't know the history of our great country. Yes our wise leaders were educated and were not just giving lip service to Democracy but doing it. Maybe some of our elected officials can learn from these two young men and do the same.

Jewish leaders were scrambling this week to figure out how they would be affected by Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s executive order banning junkets for executive branch officials sponsored by outside groups.

Spitzer on Monday banned members of his administration from accepting any gift — including support-building missions to Israel — that might permit the inference of being intended “to influence the individual in the performance of official business.”

The new Congress should take a lesson from Spitzer.

Amen Jackie.

Behind every strong man is strong woman that is the backbone of that strong man. Gerald Ford got Betty and Nancy Pelosi got Paul. And notice that I didn't mention the Gerbil and Laura?

And I agree with Jackie about two young officials sworn into their position. We all can learn both of them.

The mural was very appropriate for Pelosi to give her speech.

Nancy Pelosi's speech was very impressive! It's refreshing to hear an intelligent woman express her desire to lead America into a new era and new direction! :D

Btw...If ever there was a woman that I would like to work with...it would be Nancy Pelosi! I admire her courage, strength, and intelligence!

She has a huge job to lead this Congress in these difficult times!!

I agree with Mr. Biloxi. Women are the backbone of that strong man. Let's not forget: John Adams and Abigail Adams and Teddy and Eleanor Roosevelt. This is a historical moment for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House as well as for all women. All things are possible for those who believe. Ms. Pelosi broke the barriers for women in 2007. Who else is next?

Women are naturally great healers. I am confident we will see some of that in the new Congress. I am feeling proud of our country again because I can see what it can be again, instead of what it has been. I will be praying for guidance, courage and strength for the new Congress. They are going to have to take some bold steps if we are going to restore this nation. I'll be busy in a new girl power role of my own, but I'll be emailing my Madam Speaker thoughts when I can.

I agree with you Mrs. X. Thanks for pointing out Abigail Adams and Eleanor Roosevelt. Both were strong women.

Ms. Pelosi does have a differcult task as Speaker of the House. But, I wish the naysayers in the media and some of the pompous ass officials need to quit harping on Ms. Pelosi's differculties being the Speaker of the House. The media said nothing about Hastert who didn't do squat in his position as Speaker of the House. The bottomline is that Ms. Pelosi bitchslapped the FDR mentality GOP and WH in the face with her strength and speaking out. And I think the issue is because she is a woman. They need to get over it and quit bitching about it. Pelosi has a lot to clean up. But we all looking at her to do the task and not her gender. If Pelosi didn't get the position, Hastert still have the same task to clean up the same sh*t too!!! You think??

SPB,
I agree. Hastert didn't have the guts Pelosi has or the desire to change anything. If he did, it didn't show. Let's hope she has the tubos to follow through and get things done even when her colleagues are trying to take the path of least resistance instead of the one that is best for the people.

Mrs. X, I just can't help myself... it was FRANKLIN and Eleanor Roosevelt, not Teddy! (I don't call myself Fussbudget for nothin'.)

... but you're sbsolutely right, she was brilliant!

Blogger SP Biloxi said...

Right you are, Fussbudget. My mistake. Maybe I had NY on my mind since Teddy was a NY governor. I got caught up in the welcoming of Eliot Spitzer as the new governor. Let me add Teddy Roosevelt was a strong individual too (as well as Franklin).

Anybody wants to know why the bad lady Miers resigned? Here is the answer from our favorite WH Press Secretary, Snowblind:

Asked why she [Miers] was leaving, Snow said: "Basically, she has been here six years."

And there you go folks. Works for me.

*lol*

Mrs. X,
good luck with your new governor. I'm a Chicagoan so the idea of a bunch of clean, reform-minded officials taking oaths of office seems like a fantasy.

The entire city of roaches called corrupted officials of Chicago need to exterminated in one clean swoop. It would be a fantasy to say that all elected officials in all states are the most perfect individuals since swiss cheese.

This sums it up real well:

Ellison's mother, Clida Ellison, said in an interview that she thought the controversy was good, "because many people in America are going to learn what the diversity of America is all about."

She described herself as a practicing Roman Catholic.

"I go to Mass every day," she said.


Ms. Ellison seems to not have a problem with her own son being sworn in with a Koran.

Hey Geezer!

Makes a person wonder how many others on the Supreme Court are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol...doesn't it? Hmmm...perhaps random drug and alcohol testing should be a requirement to hold any office!
