I still haven't seen or heard the speech. I wanted to watch Pelosi's responses throughout Bush's speech, but then I thought that it would be more about political appearance than actual feelings.
Overall she did pretty good, but she's still a bit of a "hardass" on a few things.
I wonder why she wouldn't be in favor of drilling for our own oil here, which would keep OUR money here?
She was also mixed about NCLB too; confusing...
