There is this entertaining poll out on Newsweek about Nancy. It appears that the media and all the haters want to stir up trouble between me and my esteemed colleague, who is a fine and upstanding woman and a wonderful speaker of the House. And also incidentally sandwiches between second (Biden) and fourth (Clinton) in the line of succession. Now, being in that important position, I am constantly talking with Nancy so that she is informed of what’s going on in case her services are ever required.
Now I know that she and I have some genuine points that we disagree on. Iraq for example, I think we need to make Iraq a success, and under my administration, we will. Nancy thinks it’s time to cut the losses and move on. We respectfully disagree, that’s always true of colleagues and allies, but the key here is respect. Nancy respects my position as the leader of the country, and I respect her as the leader of the House. So, all of this conservative chatter is just their way of trying to drive a non-existent wedge between us.
The good people of the country know better. I have a job to do, and I’m going to be saving this country one step at a time. Take a look at the progress of the last two weeks, a bank rescure plan, a budget, a strategy on Iraq, and that’s just for starters. Wait till you see what I pull out of the hat next. I’ve been doing something that has been sorely lacking in the country for a while, something we call leadership. Trust me, friends, you are all in good hands with me.
