Pelosi Showing Her Guns

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House-elect, the third most powerful seat in Washington, has said the top priority for 110th Congress is to "relieve the middle class." Not Iraq, not immigration, not taxes form, but the relieving financial burdens of the middle class will be the first item Congress hopes to pass legislation on. As Speaker of the House Pelosi has the power to proritize issues that will be up for debate and voted upon. She has mention she will meet with the House Minority Leader (Republicans) to find common ground. But that of course does not really matter since the Democrats have won a nice lead in the House to pass any votes they wish. Pelosi just has to make nice-nice with Joe Liberman who will be the sway voter in the Senate.
