Pelosi fires back at *

From NBC's Mike Viqueira

"What does he have to show for his presidency?" Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked today, with her hands outstretched. She said that the president is talking about his library, but all he will have to put in it is "tax cuts for the wealthy" and "a war with no end that is a failure."

"He stoops to a level that is beneath the office" of the president, she concluded.

Pelosi was responding the the red meat dished up by President Bush in a speech today at the conservative Heritage Foundation.

On the war supplemental monies, she said that the president has "wasted billions" and that the request will be the subject of "harsh scrutiny." Democrats are likely to approve a small portion of the $196 billion now and wait until next year to send the rest.

Yet Pelosi said that she, too, doesn't approve of the job that Congress is doing. She was asked why, despite recent efforts by Democrats to tout their accomplishments this year, Congress has such a low approval rating. You might say her answer was counterintuitive.

"I don't approve of Congress, because we haven't been effective in ending the war in Iraq," she said, adding that "if you asked me in a phone call" from a pollster, she would herself be counted in the disapproval column.

then FUCKING DO SOMETHING

Hey Nance, what's wrong with this picture??? :banghead:

the side of your head is trying to tell you something.

THINK
IMPEACHMENT,
NANCY

IT IS WHAT YOU
MUST DO TO DEFEND
THE CONSTITUTION!

In this thread. SHe was on "All Things Considered."

-Hoot

How in hell did we end up with such worthless reps in Congress??? :grr:

Is she still sticking to the story of 'our hands are tied'?

n/t

and point made

:spray:

then it's time to IMPEACH.

something to fight back with. Otherwise, angry words aren't going to accomplish anything.

to make them shape up. We KNOW that will do the trick.

and in the right place....

BushCo and gang are doing everything possible to denigrate her...piling on is inadquate

This is how they make themselves look good...the sign of Malignant Bullies....by making others look inept....forgetting

they(GOP) are the ones to blame for all this crap we are in.....

Pelosi has been handed an impossible task and is doing the best that can be expected.

She trashes Bush and the usual crowd here at DU trashes her.

ITS A SIMPLE FUCKING CONCEPT.

"I don't approve of Congress, because we haven't been effective in ending the war in Iraq," she said, adding that "if you asked me in a phone call" from a pollster, she would herself be counted in the disapproval column."

She feels our pain

Put an end to the self-loathing. Impeach Bush and Cheney NOW.

If Democrats under her watch could shut Pete Stark up, they could damn well do a better job gumming up the occupation of Iraq.

I'm getting frustrated all over again...

Impeachment is the cure for the disease!! fucking use it!!

should shut up and not criticize Pelosi or Dems? Do you think there's some frustration out there? :think:

I can't even see "frustration" from here. "Frustration" is pretty much seven moons away.

lol

:hug:

His request for billions will come under "harsh scrutiny." :rofl: Bush must be laughing like a drunken frat boy at Nancy's threat. I mean, she's been so effective at shutting him down in the past!

.

translation: it'll a week longer than usual to roll over.

I'm waiting Nancy...
