Particularly in view of the fact that stimulus package apparently will include substantial middle class tax cuts (all along part of Obama's program), I think Nancy Pelosi is absolutely right to insist on early repeal of the Bush tax cuts. These cuts were heavily weighted towards the wealthiest Americans, and are very destructive to our economy.
I've not been a fan of Pelosi, for a variety of reasons, but in this she's clearly right.

Josh Marshall on Cheney: exactly right
Good Riddance, saith Josh.
Greenwald on Cheney's latest claims that the Congress was consulted and uniformly approved illegal warrantless surveillance. Tiring, but necessary reading, especially since it's hard to credit much this utterly despicable man says. It's easy to just say, let's put this behind us, but we owe to the future making sure: (a) the new administration understands that this unconstitutional illegal spying on Americans must stop, and (b) that it doesn't happen again. And that means prosecution, and accountability, for past law-breaking.
