WASHINGTON, April 9 - The dispute between the White House and Democrats on the economy escalated sharply Wednesday over a surprise move by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to scrap the House's rules and hold hostage a trade accord sought by the administration until President Bush agrees to more economic relief for Americans.

Ms. Pelosi's action, which appeared to stun the White House, came just two days after Mr. Bush attempted to gain the upper hand by sending the bill to Congress with the understanding that current trade laws required a vote this year.

I think Pelosi made bad strategic decisions upon taking over the majority but she seems to be feeling her oats now...I am please that she pissed off the Clintons by being independent of them. Let the peoples' voice be heard.

"Mr. President you forgot to consult with us."
"Let's give the House more time." "Let the members know what's in the Bill" Go Charlie !" He admits what I now know serving for six months as the Secretary of the NH Citizen's Trade Commission. "Nobody knows what's in the Bill".

bumpersticker I saw today... (4.00 / 1)
Okay, clearly un-PC, but it was on a car with a lot of bumper stickers and she also had a "Women for Obama" sticker on her car, so I dug it.

Here it goes, troll me if it's inappropriate... I'll understand:

"The only bush I trust is my own."

cheers? jeers?

Feeling hopeful since 2004...
