Today Was A Good Day...

for women and America. "The honorable Nancy Pelosi of the state of California is to be elected Speaker of the House for the 110th Congress, having received a majority of the votes cast."



"I accept this gavel in the spirit of partnership, not partisanship, and look forward to working with you on behalf of the American people," Pelosi said. "In this House, we may belong to different parties, but we serve one country."

HOORAY!

Just passing through checking out reactions to the new Speaker's first day.

I was thrilled to see Nancy Pelosi standing in that historic place, looking Presidential.

I think the image of her serious discussion of foreign and domestic affairs in those august surroundings, being applauded like a President will hasten the day when we can actually elect a woman President.
I especially enjoyed seeing and hearing her speech with my 18 year old daughter.

Yes. She looked very presidential and I think she is an amazing woman. How did you find my blog?

I am really wondering if the men in this country are understanding how the women are feeling. I even know of many Republican women who are happy to have a woman as Speaker of the House.
