La Pelosi: "I have a certain serenity about it all, I really do"

Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked as she left last week for the Mideast what she had learned about herself in her first months running the House. The California Democrat is the first woman to be speaker, and her answer reflects her growing self-confidence. "I have a certain serenity about it all, I really do" she said. "It's so much. But I have a confidence about dealing with it. It's not a surprise to me, but it's interesting."
