Not to nitpick (because it is better)...but Pelosi's constant smirking bothers me - and in fact, reminds me of a previous White House inhabitant.
I get politics. And I get the overwhelming desire to say "We were right and we're in charge"...but given the economic circumstances (and given that Congresspeople are somewhat sheltered economically and health care-wise from "regular" people), I'd never advise an elected official to look that happy. At least in that circumstance.
Call me cynical, but I don't believe many of the 535 in that room have a clue as to what we're going to do to get out of this.
So much better oratorically, but what the hell was Pelosi wearing? A caftan? A jacket?
Anyway, if Obama thinks taking on reform of Health Care is going to be fun, it's going to be a down & dirty catfight if he plans to close tax breaks for agribusiness (and I say that with companies like ConAgra in mind, not family farmers). It's like flushing someone's coke down the toilet, and they're going to be PISSED!
I thought I was dreaming last night. An intelligent, well-spoken and genuine President without Dr. Evil sitting behind him. What a breath of fresh air!!!!
does anyone know who are in line of succession? as i remember it should be:
VP (biden) house speaker (pelosi)
then someone else from the house, then clinton (state secretary)? is that right? then AG?
i think it's really hard to sit there and try to look like you are paying attention to what the president is saying for the entire hour. i for one would not want to have a camera on my face for that long. i wouldn't criticize pelosi for looking whatever she's looking for that hour.
yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy!
ReplyDeleteMuch MUCH better.
ReplyDeleteA President who can actually speak intelligently.
Fabulous change!
