President Bush was very gracious toward Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the start of the State of the Union address:
And tonight I have the high privilege and distinct honor of my own as the first president to begin the State of the Union message with these words: Madam Speaker. In his day, the late Congressman Thomas D’Alesandro Jr. from Baltimore, Md., saw Presidents Roosevelt and Truman at this rostrum, but nothing could compare with the sight of his only daughter Nancy president tonight as speaker of the House of Representatives. Congratulations, Madam Speaker.
You have to wonder what good it will do him.
