Madame Speaker

Did you realize that for the first time in our history, tonight, a President will start his State of the Union speech with the worlds "Madame Speaker" as opposed to "Mr. Speaker?"

:woohoo:

As a woman, I couldn't be prouder.

2. I, for one, can't wait to hear it!

It's about time we move into the mainstream with the rest of the world. A lot of capable, intelligent and outstanding females in our history have been passed over because of their gender. Nancy can help make that a thing of the past with regards to our political system.

5. I haven't watched a SOTU since

Clinton's last one and am so looking forward to this. Though honestly when he starts talking I might have to put the tv on mute, don't know how long I will be able to bear that voice!

9. The crier (or whatever he is called) will also announce, "Madame Speaker, the President of the

United States," once the joint session comes to order.

16. Well, He SHOULD, . . but..

I have heard more than one old Repug misspeak themselves and address her as "Mr." Speaker. They don't even seem to notice that they've done it...
