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."

And once that anvil get lifted up high enough, it’s going to come crashing down on you all.
Face lift, nose job, dye job - and that’s just what’s obvious. She’s 5 years my senior and makes me feel very lucky.
I loathe that woman. She has no class and no brains. Absolutely disgusting human being.
California will be SOOO better off with a global warming crackpot at the helm. Maybe they can power all those hospital bills for illegal aliens from wind and solar.
I think we're gonna need a bigger anvil.
BEHOLD THE NEW SYMBOL OF THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT!
Thanks for the tip, stupid bitch!
Little does she know that the anvil will be followed by a falling grand piano.
Little does she know that the anvil will be followed by a Kansas farm house.
She is truly OBSESSED with Dubya.
If you replaced Pelosi with an anvil, no one would notice.
I got two words for you Bela Pelosi, and they ain’t “Happy Birthday”.
Instead of “Jane, you ignorant slut”, it’s “Nancy, you Nazi bitch”.
what a classless piece of trash!

And the bitch knows all to well how her side of the house refused to work with the regulators that GWB suggested so many times in the HR and Senate to stop the bad housing mortgage lending practices. She is lower then whale shit.
