SOTU, so he couldn't steal their agenda knowing it was going to happen anyway.

How much of what he is addressing has already been through the House? It was brilliant Nancy, just stunning. When the Republics try to take credit for ear-marking, it's already been done! etc., right on down the list.

2. I think this is important, we need to hammer home that Bush and
the Republics didn't have much to do with the reforms coming out of the House. When I RW'er tries to say xxx got done like the Pres. said in the SOTU address, it will be important to note that much of this was passed in the House before the SOTU address.

I almost peed myself today when the Republics were using the Dem's argument (about abortion) that a person's health care decisions should be between a physician and the patient not some outside body concerning their health and prescription options.

4. Good point. This speech will barely be a blip, in a month. We've
already made some history from the House side and the Senate is yet to act on many of those items.

(aside) The civilian corp thing Bush proposed for overseas assignment - the only really new Admin agenda mentioned - has a snowball's chance in Hell, imo, thankfully. I doubt he means a Peace Corp....

6. Thats why they came back to work before the SOTU
I think traditionally, they don't do much of anything (insert joke here) until after the President sets the agenda. The Dems set their own Agenda. WTG!!

9. The best thing about Nancy is she is tough but not a bitch. I am
a female and have worked for a bitch. She is the most politically savvy woman I have ever seen. She beats the guys at their own game, no wonder the Republics were so worried about her.

I wish I could be like her, but I am so thin skinned.

I have a new role model, Mrs. Nancy Pelosi!
