Great day in American politics!

Two emails came through to me today from CNN Breaking News:

"Congress convened today with Democrats in control of both the House and Senate for the first time in a dozen years."

"California Democrat Nancy Pelosi has become the first woman to be elected speaker of the United States House of Representatives."

Isn't it great to have the Democrats in control of both the House and the Senate in the States after so long! It's a great day in Amercian politics. Let's hope this new Democrat congress can put that lame-duck president, named George W Bush, in his place. And good on Nancy Pelosi on becoming the first woman to be elected speaker of the house. It's good to know that USA is no longer controlled just by white Republican males.

I was watching FOX News channel's coverage of this earlier today and I'm even more convinced that they are the Republican news service. I couldn't believe how much they were rubbishing the new Democrat congress.

I'm sure the new Democrat congress will be good for America and lets hope this means a Democrat president next year too.
