Dennis a Subcommittee Chairman

Dennis Kucinich is in line to be chairman of the Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. What does that mean? First, it means he'll pass up the opportunity to chair the National Security Subcommittee, where he would have had a perfect platform to voice his anti-war positions. Instead, he'll chair the subcommitte that has "jurisdiction over all domestic issues and the Office of National Drug Control Policy." Kucinich feels he can wield more influence here.

I suppose none of this is suprising, as, despite his notoriety as the "peace" politician, Kucinich is clearly more interested in domestic matters.

So Mr Kucinich one thing ought to be clear: After a decade in Congress, you can reasonably be expected to get actual leglislation passed into law. Now that you have the power, I expect you will do more than grandstand.
