Am I the only one who gets depressed at this resume (as it is after all, two-thousand-frickin'-five)? I long to see the day where a females gender isn't taking up half of her effing resume.

I've known Harriet for over a decade. I've worked with Harriet. She's a woman of principle and character. She's highly intelligent. She's been a pioneer of law in my state of Texas. She was the first woman hired by her law firm -- first woman partner, I mean, by the law firm. She managed the law firm. She was the first head of the Dallas bar -- first woman to head the Dallas bar, first woman to head the state bar of Texas.

Yes there is the China problem - we all know that, and henceforth let it never be said that G.W. Bush doesn't understand or didn't address the China situation.

But cheer up - other things are working out really good.

the notion of helping people immediately worked pretty good. It worked good because the government responded with the checks. It also worked really good because our individual citizens responded in an incredibly generous and compassionate way.

And that's really good!

Gah...I couldn't stomach 11 pages of that especially as it's Bush on his own (well, and the earpiece & Rove).

I was depressed 1/2 way down page 1 seeing the fiscal responsibility that's expected coupled with opening more refineries.

And yeah dabitch...2005 makes no difference. It still actually is an important thing to outline how a woman has done stuff despite being waylaid by their gender. It hasn't changed at all. Oy.

And why aren't you having a baby? Or are you lying there in stirrups typing out on your chest?

wow.. peacay.. Where do they still use stirrups? I've only seen "footrests" in the birthing rooms.

The SCOTUS thing.. of course the woman who cleaned up GWB's "military" records is High Court material. gah

oh

ps... It IS 2005. notice that nowhere did they mention what she's wearing. *nod* That's progress, yep.

hehe reflecked. True.

Aye Peacay, the little one has tossed and turned all night but still not found the exit. So here I am waiting. :/ There aint no way in hell you're getting me in any stirrups. Stupid invention. I'll see y'all in the birthing pool. And get that scary-ass epidural away from me man. Crank the gas instead!

I listened to part of it...couldn't stomach any more.

Isn't being a "pioneer when it comes to the law" and being a "strict constructionist" a bit of a contradiction?

But I was disappointed, frankly, in the vote I got in the African-American community. I was.

I've done my best to elevate people to positions of authority and responsibility -- not just positions, but positions where they can actually make a difference in the lives of people.

I put people in my Cabinet. I put people in my sub-Cabinet. I've elevated people from all walks of life, because I believe there's a responsibility for the president to reach out. And so it's not a matter of tone, it's also a matter of action.

And just got to keep working at it.

Ummm...

"I gave rich Black people jobs in federal government! Why aren't the poor Black people voting for me?"

Jesus.
