So they have the House, they now HAVE TO govern...Consider this a Nancy Pelosi appreciation thread!!...

[Change Happens]

We had the House, we got shit done!!! We passed HC, FinReg, equal pay...etc. I am soooo extremely proud of OUR accomplishments under Nancy Pelosi, now it is their turn, let's see how much they GET DONE for the country and the American people (Nancy Pelosi passed over 400 bills that went nowhere)...I hope their list is a looooong list of stuff that the American can benefit from, I hope their legislation can benefit ALL Americans, let'em have at it, they have two years.

P.S. They have some of the the same challenges we had, have to get past the 60 in the Senate, and they have to be able to overcome President Obama's veto threat, and they have to whip their votes...etc.

1. Not ready yet

[Change Happens]

13. I am with you really...Did not and still not buying inot the hype

But I do accept they have will have the House...

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. I don't

there are many technical reasons why I don't. It will be a long week, to be honest.

[tabatha]

2. I love Nancy Pelosi.

She will be back!

Thanks, Nancy for all the goody you have done.

[polichick]

3. I LOVE Speaker Pelosi - and they only hate her because...

...she does the job so well.

THANK-YOU NANCY PELOSI - YOU'VE DONE US PROUD!

[babylonsister]

9. Exactly; she got too much accomplished and showed up all the men

who never got anywhere near what she got done. :thumbsup:

4. O'Donnell had some interesting thought wrt to the debt ceiling on this.

5. Pelosi's poor leadership is one of the reasons the house lost

in my opinion.

6. Ode to a Prophet

a fragment from one of my favorite poems...

... translated to English:

Laurels? Do not foolishly demand them.
Ascents begins with falls
for overreaching spans and large burdens.
Thus, from the crest of yonder cliff,
The condor of the Andes jumps,
and for a moment plummets.

It is a good battle if,
at the end,
glory shimmers on a warrior’s shield
thick with arrows.

- Ode to a Prophet
by Salvador Diaz Mirón - Mexican poet

7. I only got results as far west as Colorado

I'm more interested in state races but I'm wondering how C-span and MSNBC called the House to Reps? I'm sure there math is correct but a lot of ballots are closed and many others haven't been fully counted. :shrug:

[DesertFlower]

8. thank you nancy. you worked

really hard for us.

[AlinPA]

10. They don't want to do anything. Their promise is to undo everything.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

11. i have not forgiven impeachment is off the table

i wish her no ill will but i do not want her in leadership any more

[sandnsea]

18. You'd rather have Boehner???

EVERYTHING is off the table now. How is that an improvement??

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

20. of course not ... Boner sucks worse

[blondeatlast]

22. I'm sure Speaker Boner will get right on it.

:eyes:

[Old and In the Way]

12. A wasted 2 years to look forward too.

Problems will get kicked down the street because they cannot address them with their agenda of lower taxes and no structural budget changes. Repeal healthcare? That increases the deficit. Cut defense? Not a Republican value. It's Reaganomics all over again!

[FarLeftFist]

14. Boehner is on the hot seat now everyone

Its time to turn up the heat.

[Change Happens]

21. Can we have a 5% unemployment please?

[BlueIris]

16. Thank you, Madame Speaker. I know you did all you could for us. nt

[sandnsea]

17. That's the saddest part of all

I loved having Nancy Pelosi as Speaker. And now we get the Bronze Boner.

Oh yeah - they're EXACTLY the same.

:argh:

[librechik]

19. I just don't get how anyone can think they will govern now

when they never have before. They got NOTHING/ They will do nothing but crush kill and destroy. They will make it their business to make it impossible for dems to ever take the majority again. They are not interested in democracy and making government work. They are owned by the corporate oligarchs and they will do their bidding until nothing is left of us.

[JackRiddler]

23. They will do nothing of the sort - it's time for the "Whitewater 2011" dance.
