This will be a short post mainly to help me stay in the habit of writing something each day on my blog. Habits can be a good thing when it is for worthwhile projects. The proceedings went well for the new house speaker today. Lots of pomp and fanfare in the swearing in of members while family looked on with pride as their loved ones were being sworn in to office on this January day. I find myself feeling a great deal of pride in this country when events take place such as today. Here we are after quite a spirited battle and still this country is able to come together and transfer power peacefully with no guns required in the process of making that change. Quite impressive to me, quite impressive indeed.
There are lots of challenges looming on the horizon and I hope our elected officials will stay wary of what could be headed our way. Don't get us so involved within the procedures that you allow circumstance to overtake us. I have heard already today, words from the majority that were punctuated with some degree of gloating, which may be fine if kept in check and not overdone. Today the far left with Cindy Shehan in lead was crying out very loud and very strong for action on the removal of troops in Iraq and much investigation in every area. All too soon this recent power may become too much for the new majority to contain themselves. I simply say to the Democrat folk, be proud of your win in this election my friends but please don't let your glee blind your sight to the important issues facing the country. All this extra pressure on the new house leader and her party and may sway them in a direction that causes them to become so immersed in "oversight" that nothing else gets done in the house. Already the majority is closing the minority out in the house even though there was a promise made to do the exact opposite as early as this morning.
