Nancy Pelosi, who is reveling in Hog Heaven, told Candy Crowley at CNN that the switch of Arlen Specter to the democratic side will allow them (democrats) to move forward with their political agenda. The point made by Pelosi is obvious. What is disturbing is that Pelosi chirped:"... now we can get things done without explaining process...".
At least Pelosi is being transparent. Pelosi forgets as do the majority of our lawmakers that they are in Washington to represent the American citizen...not their political party!
With Obama's latest reference to the Tea Party Movement, it seems that the only checks and balances left to the American citizens are those "folks" who wave those teabags.
