Nancy Pelosi makes history, but can she make a difference

In a historic moment, Representative Nancy Pelosi (d) from San Francisco became the very first women Speaker of the House and second in line to the Presidency. This makes her the most powerful women in America and it also gives her party control in the House of Representatives. She promised to bring back civility and ethics to Washington and lets hope she can make it happen.

After bringing to an end to the 12 year run of Republican rule in Washington, we are going to expect the Democrats to carry through on there promises. They must prove that all of their promises were not empty just to get into power.

They must push President Bush on Iraq and get our troops home safely and make the changes necessary to cleanup all of the corruption in Washington thanks to the Republicans.
