Nancy Pelosi: ‘If We’re in Charge’ Bush Has to Listen
Nancy Pelosi stands to make life much tougher for President Bush if the Nov. 7 elections net her a powerful job that puts her just two steps behind him.
The 66-year-old California liberal stands to become the first woman to lead the House of Representatives if she and fellow Democrats win control of the chamber from Bush’s Republicans.
She vows to ensure Congress acts as an equal to the most powerful man in the world.

Often ignored or even mocked by Bush during his six years as president, Pelosi, now the House Democratic minority leader, told Reuters in an interview: “If we are in charge, he’ll have to listen.”

As speaker of the House, the chamber’s top job, Pelosi would be second in succession to the presidency after the vice president under U.S. law. She is a shoo-in for the job if Democrats prevail.

“The only way to deal with Bush is as a co-equal branch of government,” she said. “The Republican Congress has been a rubber stamp for his failed policies” on such basics as fiscal and national security.

Already the only woman ever to lead a political party in Congress, Pelosi would become the first woman speaker in the chamber’s 217 years. She is thrilled at the prospect.

Bush took a swipe at Pelosi at a White House news conference. He quoted her as saying, “I love tax cuts” while nonetheless voting against many of them.

Wild Thing’s comment……
If the ‘Rats win control, EVERY day will seem like Friday the 13th. Can you imagine what kind of mother she was? NO WIRE HANGERS…EVER!!!
Pelosi is in full meltdown mode. She just keeps mouthing off, one statement after the other. Stupidity doesn’t understand that it condemns itself every time it opens its mouth.
