Bush: "I look forward to working with Senator Reid and Congresswoman Pelosi "

http://www.standardnewswire.com/news/68020383.html

Remarks by President Bush after Meeting with the Bicameral Congressional Leadership

<snip>

I assured the leaders that the White House door will be open when the new Congress shows up. And I think we ought to meet on a regular basis; I believe there's consensus for that. And the reason you meet on a regular basis is so that the American people can know that we're working hard to find common ground. That's what they expect us to do; they expect us to work on big problems and solve them.

I want to say something about my two friends here. Senator Frist, we appreciate your service to the United States of America. You brought a lot of dignity to the office. And I appreciate the Speaker being, as well -- Mr. Speaker, you've done a fine job as Speaker.

I look forward to working with Senator Reid and Congresswoman Pelosi for doing what's right for the country. And, again, I want to thank you all for coming down. I appreciate your interest, appreciate your advice, appreciate the input that you've given.

11. I am never one to agree with *, but in this case he is technically correct.
She is not "Speaker Pelosi" until she gets seated in that position in January. I think it would be incorrect to refer to her as speaker until then, because Hastert is speaker right now.

As to whether Bush said it that way to be technically correct or to be a petty spoiled brat..........I think we know the answer........

he does that when he has extreme contempt for something, which is all of the time.
