#2 What perks does this job come with? Does she still get to keep her plane?

#3 The plane was provided after 9/11 because the Speaker is third in line of succession to the Presidency. That no longer is the case. However, like a lot of crap that goes on in the Beltway, that won't stop the queen from demanding the perk.

#5 I have to give Pelosi credit - she has created many jobs -- for Republican congressmen.

#6 Pelosi managed to pass Obamacare. Obamacare will fail, but it was intended to. Then, as intended, a true government monopoly, British/Canadian style national health care will be demanded as the solution. THAT will be her and Zero's legacy.

#7 #4 tu3031: The line of succession listed gives me no comfort whatsoever with this current administration.

#8 ...that's why Speaker of the House becomes important as the Trunks take control in January. I hope that keep that point in mind.
