2. ok nancy, CHALLENGE bush on signing statements & defend the constitution!!
bush has two choices, implement congress's passed laws or veto them.

now is the time to tell bush to obey the constitution or you will get rid of him.

8. Woohoo! Five years ago - this would have seemed a pipe dream
had anyone suggested Pelosi would rise through the ranks so far, and that the dems would take back over to = Speaker Pelosi!

17. I just had a thought.
The thought of Speaker Pelosi smacking Boehener in the head with the gavel. Yeah, I know. It's an evil thought. I can't wait until the State of the Union address. The VP will have to sit next to Speaker Pelosi. That should be interesting.
