Two of the sweetest words I've ever typed. The next? "Ex-Speaker Pelosi."
Anyways, I actually have a lot of confidence in Boehner, who comes from a background that will allow him to understand and empathize with the folks struggling out there in a way the daughter of a Baltimore mayor/wife of a billionaire/ San Fransisco ideologue just can't. Nevermind a never-had-a-real-job president. He also really gets the message sent by the country this year - "Republicans, your on probation. You can have the keys back, but you must be different." Today was low-key and not terribly celebratory, fitting of the mood of the country. I have high hopes for the Speaker, if only because he's not his predecessor.
YOU'RE on probation, not YOUR.
Isn't it ironic that the same republicans who got us into two un-declared wars, are now so concerned about SPENDING, and ferklempt over unbridled Presidential power, now that the power is in the hands of Obama.
Note, that the Republican leadership is not going to repeal anything, since the Senate will not go along and they don't have the votes to override a veto.
Until the 2012 election, all we will get are various, "gestures."
I hope the citizens will have a "gesture" for them, next election.
It will be up to the citizens to decide if we will have real change, and in which direction, by either increasing the number of Republicans, and tossing-out Carter II (aka Obama), or going the other way and pursuing the nanny-state and homos in the military-type policies, of the current National Democratic leadership.
Nobody is serving as champion of our Constitution, or as an advocate for our American workers.

When she first sent me a photo of these bizarre looking vibram five,I just laughed at their vibram fivefingers ridiculousness, thinking 'no way I'll ever put those things on my five finger feet! But alas, once I saw them and read about them, I just couldn't stop thinking about them! I had to try them for myself. Last week I went to Blue five fingers Ridge Mountain Sports in Charlottesville,
