Welcome To The New Congress
Thursday, January 04, 2007
Here are the new Congressional leaders, Sen. Reid, Sen. Schumer, Speaker of the House Pelosi, Rep. Emanuel and Rep. Hoyer. Sen Durbin is not pictured but is #2 behind Senate Majority leader Harry Reid. The official 100 hours in the House does not begin until next week but the big ticket items, ethics reform, prescription drug, minimum wage, stem cell and 9/11 commission will be pushed thru with no committees just floor votes. Repubs are crying foul but this has been a tactic they have used for years and now its being used against them. Pelosi has said after the 100 hours she will go back to bipartisan committees but wants to have some victories under her belt. The times are changing and the administration better watch themselves. Gone is the rubber stamp congress and yes men.
