Watching George W. Bush leave the presidency and take off on his helicopter "was like having a 10-ton anvil lifted from my shoulders," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday, describing her emotions and thoughts on Inauguration Day.
She was just a few feet away from Barack Obama when he took the oath of office, and Pelosi said she "thought about his mother, and how she raised him and shaped this extraordinary young man."
In a wide-ranging interview with Bay Area reporters, the San Francisco Democrat said the Obama administration "will be great for California," especially on the environment and the economy.
Obama "has an entrepreneurial way of thinking, a fresh way of thinking, a commitment to the environment, a push for green jobs and reversing global warming, and that will help California," she said.
"Continually frustrated" by Bush on many issues, Pelosi said the change in administrations "will be like night and day" for the state and nation.
On a related issue, Pelosi said she supports Rep. Henry Waxman, the Los Angeles Democrat and new chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, who wants his panel to approve a climate change bill with limits on carbon emissions by the end of May. ....
The new administration and Congress also need to improve oversight of the banking system and markets, she said: "We need more cops on the street. There has been a lack of discipline, supervision and regulation." ....
During the transfer of power Tuesday, Pelosi said she watched Bush when Obama pledged a new foreign policy and a clean break from the last eight years.
"That must have been a painful part" for Bush, she said. When asked if she felt at all sorry for Bush, she demurred: "I feel sorry for the people hurt by his policies."

Classless to the last, Pelosi.
His mother didn’t raise him.
Skank is as skank does.
Maybe she’ll finally be able to shut her eyes and get some rest now, without that anvil.
What a bitch.
I feel like a 10 ton tick got into my stock portfolio sucking out the lifeblood since Pelosi took control.
From the look of her, that anvil must have been resting on her face
I wish the helicopter had DROPPED a 10 ton anvil on this b*tch.
“has an entrepreneurial way of thinking, a fresh way of thinking, a commitment to the environment, a push for green jobs and reversing global warming, and that will help California,”
Translation:
We’re all in the pocket of the carbon trader players. We will talk about green jobs to distract you what the bill is really about, “entrepreneurially”
Republicans can learn something from her. Dems have no class, but they NEVER give Republicans a break. They never back down or apologize for how they play the game.
Does anyone have a snail mail address to which we can write President Bush and tell him how much we appreciate him and will miss him?
And when Pelosi leaves Washington forever, it will be like having a centillion ton anvil removed from the chest of every American.
Does anyone have a snail mail address to which we can write President Bush and tell him how much we appreciate him and will miss him?
Can't wait to see how Pelosi handles the 100-ton anvil of President Palin in 4 years.
Certainly......
Utterly..........
Noxious......
Tenure.
That is how I would size her up to her face.
I would love to be the reporter asking her what parts of California have been destroyed by “global warming” or if it was global change, or if there is a record in history when it happened before when man was not present.
Awww Joe put a puke alert on such as this......:o)
“She was just a few feet away from Barack Obama when he took the oath of office, and Pelosi said she “thought about his mother, and how she raised him and shaped this extraordinary young man.”
Nice statement of fantasy there “velocity face”.
How’s that New Tone working for you Mr. FORMER President?
