It starts...

If you haven’t heard… today is the day the 110th Congress convenes… the 110th Democratically Controlled Congress convenes…

It’s enough to bring a smile to the faces on Mount Rushmore.

I think it’s absolutely fantastic that the Dems have control again… but let’s maintain some level of composure about it and not think that they will be able to change things overnight, because they won’t be able to. "President" Bush and the gop will see to that.

Also, let’s keep in mind that, first and foremost, the Democrats' primary task is to serve the American people while simultaneously showing that they are responsive to the needs of the people… that's their whole reason for being.

For the last ten years, republicans have been ignoring the will of the people and working for themselves… this past year the people finally got fed up and shipped them out… en masse.

Allow the gop to oppose our agenda. Let them bitch and moan and groan all they want… it can only help us in the long run.

As Kos himself says in a post on Daily Kos: It's our time to be responsive.

Let’s not lose sight of that… otherwise we will be the party kicked out in the years ahead…
