Pelosi Vows To Govern From The Middle Despite Democratic Control Of House, Senate And Presidency

[cdfoxtrot5]

If they can just stay away from red herring issues like gay marriage, *** in the military, abortion, etc. they''ll have a better chance of not allowing the extreme right-wing distract them.

Did you miss Karl Rove''s commentary since the election? Obama won because he was a center or center-right candidate. You missed the talking point changes that followed the election losses for the Republicans.

Next November we''''ll get our filibuster-proof senate.

2010 is the next year some Senators are scheduled for elections. 19 Republicans and 15 Democrats.

"The country must be governed from the middle," Pelosi, D-Calif

Here it is!!! The first excuse why we won''''t see any significant changes from Obama. Rather, the U.S. will stay the course--a steady downhill slide since 1963.

Bush and the Republicans have no idea where the middle is now -- they lost any view on that a very long time ago.

Starting next year, THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE TO BLAME FOR EVERYTHING!!!

They have no more excuses. They have TOTAL CONTROL, just like the GOP did 8 years ago.

Let''''s see how THEY handle it.

The election results clearly indicate that most Americans felt a change in direction was necessary. However, I agree with your point because now we are going to see how well the democrats will handle the problems our country faces.

Personally, I believe the country made the right choice since Obama was offering more solutions and the GOP appeared to be more interested in smearing the other guy.

However, I certainly hope President Obama takes the best people available to fill the positions on his cabinet and puts partisan politics asside. The person who has the best idea could be a republican or democrat so they all need to be involved. Our problems are too severe to worry about whether a cabinet member has the correct party affiliation.

All I am going to say is standby for one wild roller coaster ride! Hang on dude!

All fine and dandy Nancy, but you better know the middle has now moved much further left!!!

"One thing they need to do is redo the 911 investigation, I have never believed that a 757 hit the pentagon."

A disturbing as it is to contemplate, I must agree. There are too many inconsistentcies and contradictions in both the visual evidence and the official report, to be accepted as-is.

One thing I have been surprised at over the years is the number of people who feel the same way but either out of patriotism... or maybe fear, they remain silent. And these are indeed painful questions to ask.

But in the end... I don''t think that it will happen. Nobody on Capitol Hill will want to open a can of worms like this... especially since they can see the same things that we do.

"Dems In Congress Wary Of Overreaching"

As well they should be. They do not have a mandate to recreate America. All they have is a limited pass to proove that they can do a better job than the guys before them. If they get too happy... they could be tossed out just as quickly as they were voted in.

[tincup356]

One thing they need to do is redo the 911 investigation, I have never believed that a 757 hit the pentagon.That building has more security cameras than any other building in the world, and they have never shown us ONE single video of that jet hitting the building...why not?because a 757 didn''t hit that building thats why, and if they lied about that..how much more were lies?That administration has lied about everything else , why not lie about the reason to make up reasons for all the other lies.I would like to see someone test the contaminated soil from the site for thermite also, tall buildings have a habit of collapsing when exposed to it.too many things didn''t add up and we have sacrificed enough rights and liberties not to be shown the truth.

Pelosi has earned the stink....and she and Reid and Frank are lucky to still have jobs. And they know it.

I''ve got to agree. It almost seems obvious what the American people want and, unlike what Oprah saw from a bunch of inner city school kids, more than just ipods... (Oprah''s done good, but even I could think through "Well kids, what do you do in order to get an ipod? That''s right, get an education!")

I could be cynical and say it''s about the "race to the bottom" like how some of the bankruptcy lawyers talk about, but that''s too ridiculous. Even for me.

Stupid Whities You Guys Arent Done Paying Yet For Our Slavery

If you were a real black man, I would say that you were the most ignorant, mindless/stupid black I had ever seen, but since Blacks are nowhere near as stupid as you seem its my guess that you are even more conniving and a bigger trouble maker than the Shrub. and that going some. You seem to be a white guy trying to cause trouble and spread hate where you can.....

[joule18]

If you want the law followed, how about BO violating the Logan Act when he went to Iraq. Or, how about his showing his birth certificate?

[joule18]

Did you hear that the Illinois "Pick Three" lottery for the Nov 5th draw was 666? I heard it on the radio today and thought it was creepy, but apparently true.

It seems to me that one of the components of this mess the republicans have left behind is that the old principle that no one is above the law in this country has been compromised.
This cannot be left behind, forgotten, or left unaddressed!
The idiot-son needs to answer to the law!!

[bailmeout1]

If you wimp Democrats can not stand up for what you campaign on, and suddenly now want to ''govern from the center'' - then why the heck did you blast McCain to all HolyHell? that goes to the media also. You vote against a centist, and now want something from the center? GTH.

[bailmeout1]

I am not confident that the Democrats will govern from the center because of all the promises they made to the left. I think they will lurch to the left, attempt to pass very socialistic far left policies and will offend the American people. As a result they will lose many seats in Congress in two years.

So if they keep the promises they made, the country will wake up and realize all the problems and vote them out? hahaha I wish it was like that. But no, that felon Senator in Alaska not only has the gall to actually run, but looks like he will win. The racist Murtha guy in PA won. Nancy Pelosi keeps getting re-elected. I give up. What is the point of even voting if you people cant make better choices than Barney Frank? They say its a ''long time coming'' for Obama, well all they gave us so far was Jesse Jackson Sr and Al Sharpton. I say white America is 1 outta 1 on that deal.

No, I want them to follow through on every last single promise those liars made. Then maybe we will get an honest campaign.

[citizenusa-2009]

A friend of mine just said it was "unfair to cover Pelosi in the "stink" of the Bush Administration". I replied that if she didn''t want the stink, she should have washed herself of the Bush "Doctrine" and did what she promised. She didn''t.

Nothing changed in 2 years. Our troops are STILL in an Iraq. She even allowed a "surge". Shameful!
