As many of your all are aware of by now, this past election was a great turning point for power in current government. The Senate and House of Representatives are, for the first time in 16 years, majority Democrats. Since our president is a Republican, this balance of power will hopefully improve these next two years of Bush’s candidacy, in respect to the Iraqi war, social security – you name it, they can debate it.
Although I am a Republican, I was pleased for this change because it was a glimmer of hope for PBS. The bill passed to pull funding will come into effect these next two years, but since legislations has shifted, there exists a higher opportunity for that bill to be either recalled, or changed completely. I’d settle with just a little bit of change. You know, that tiny difference that keeps a nationwide organization suitably funded.
And yes, PBS’s “News Hour” with Jim Lehrer broadcasted the Elections.
