Nancy Pelosi


Nancy Pelosi is a very talented woman. There is no doubt about it. She has a long lists of accomplishments, including her newest one, which is becoming the first woman to be elcected speaker of the house. Being speaker of the house makes her second in line for presidency, only after vice president, Chaney. I highly doubt that she will come into presidency in the next two years, Bush seems pretty healthy, but the thought that she could possibly take over as president is exciting.
Much is riding on Nancy Pelosi, since she is the first woman to be ever elected. Not only is she representing the government, she is representing women all around the country. Want I want to know is, is she ready to handle being a woman in a male dominating field and is she ready to handle the media?
The media is really emphasizing the fact that Nancy Pelosi is the first woman to be elected speaker of the house, which is justified. Being the first woman to be speaker of the house is pretty important and revolutionary. Being a liberal from California is also putting her in the spotlight. Her opposing views from that of President Bush makes the media want to pay close attention to her. Can she handle the attention?
I like what she has had to say so far, but I wonder if she can say what she wants without stuttering. In the beginning of the election, Pelosi seemed to shy away from the media. She didn't do too many appearances on camera or with reporters. Now that she has been officially elected speaker of the house, she is forced to be all around the media. In my opinion, her manner is always nervous-like. She stutters and she doesn't make direct contact with her audience. There is much more to Pelosi's position as Speaker of the House than speaking, but since the word "speaker" is in the title of her position, shouldn't she be able to speak eloquently? It does seem nerve wracking to be in the eyes of the media. I personally could never do it, but then again, I am not the first woman to be elected Speaker of the House. She should be able to articulate herself better than what I've seen of her so far. Maybe she should take a class on media appearances.
