Notice nobody has given me a serious answer. Nobody has said this is what she said would get done and this is what has been accomplished.

Well here ya go, let the elephant remember.
"Should Democrats win, she promised they would approve rules to “break the link between lobbyists and legislation” and enact legislation adopting all the recommendations of the bipartisan commission that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The party’s agenda also includes raising the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour and cutting the student loan interest rate."

OH and there's this

Meanwhile, there have been, in the last week, a number of indications that Pelosi might not be able to fulfill some of the key promises she made in the campaign, no matter how long she has. The “Six for ’06” agenda, according to a release from Pelosi's office, is this:

** Draining the swamp — break the link between lobbyists and legislation and commit to pay-as-you-go budgeting, no new deficit spending

** Making America more secure — implement the independent 9/11 Commission recommendations

** Giving Americans a raise — increase the minimum wage

** Making college more affordable — cut the interest rate in half on federally subsidized student loans

** Making health care more affordable — negotiate for lower prescription drug prices

** Ending subsidies for Big Oil

** Giving hope to families with devastating diseases — allow stem cell research

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi promised the American public an energetic and ambitious agenda, to be accomplished within the first 100 hours of her tenure. With that promise in mind, the Democrat majority in the House pushed through several “progressive” agenda items including an increase in the minimum wage, reduction in student loan rates, and timed withdrawal from the central front in the war on terror in Iraq.


At the end of the first 100 days not a single of those items has reached the President’s desk, or been enacted into law. While long on rhetoric, the Democrat agenda has been short on success. Gradually, though belatedly, it has begun to dawn upon the Democrat leadership in Congress that leadership requires – well, leadership!


Promising a spirit of bi-partisanship hitherto unheard of in Washington DC, the new Democrat leadership immediately embarked on a program of minority (read that Republican) suppression, greater still than that which the Democrats had claimed the Republicans had imposed upon them, when the GOP was in control of Congress.

Madam Speaker promised the nation changes would be made. To this date it seems status quo. No bills to my knowledge including removing troops have crossed the President's desk.
They all took vacations over Easter. Meanwhile we all wait for results not personal agenda.
She also promised to get along with the President for the good of the people & compromise. Her trip to Syria really explained her intent.
What she didn't say was how many favors she owed. It is the additional "pork" the fat known as deals paid that have bogged down these bills.

She would drain the GOP swamphttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/06/AR2006100600056.html But that was before she tripped over Rep Jefferson/ Sen Feinstein and Sen Reid

After 100 DAYS, they haven't completed what they swore to complete in the first 100 HOURS.
Saddest Congress we've EVER had.

NO Congress would be MUCH better than THIS one.

I think she said she was going to be Secretery of State, further divide this country, collaborate with the enemy, set new foriegn policy, wear a burka, and do anything she can to aggravate Bush.

I don't think she did much of anything but stir the pot a bit. For the next 100 days, I would like to see her set up a Congressional Committee to grill the heck out of the Dept. of Justice and Sandy Berger. Where is the lie detector?

Pelosi will do the travelling around the world instead of acting on the Iraq war.

She stated emphatically that she would completely demoralize our country and give our Islamic terrorist enemies the keys to the White House; the first I'll give her, the second she's still working on.

It was all lies just to get votes.
It was to fool the ignorant & gullible little commie democrats.
(However, in all fairness, she is getting our troops killed, and she is going to nail the working people with new taxes.)
That's 2 promises that she's kept.
