House Speaker Pelosi calls Bush 'a total failure'
WASHINGTON — President Bush has been a "total failure" in everything from the economy to the war to energy policy, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. In an interview on CNN, the California Democrat was asked to respond to video of the president criticizing the Democratic-led Congress for heading into the final 26 days of the legislative session without having passed a single government spending bill.

Pelosi shot back in unusually personal terms.

"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject," Pelosi replied. She then tsk-tsked Bush for "challenging Congress when we are trying to sweep up after his mess over and over and over again."

If Nancy would stop cleaning up after his messes, maybe we could make a clean sweep of this spoiled little boy and the mess he has made.
Take Impeachment off the table. Then and only then will we be able to start cleaning up his mess.

9. Pelosi's failure is greater than junior's failure imo, 'cause the founders foresaw a junior-type
president and provided the Congress with the mechanism, authority, and duty to remove a president for high crimes. :D

8. AMEN!
Why doesn't she DO SOMETHING? Part of the reason this administration is such a mess is because the Dems won't stand up to them!

4. Actually, she's dead wrong. Shrub has successfully achieved his own personal goals.
He has created great fortunes for his buddies, brought suffering to Iraq and the US..what more would a sociopath wish for?

WMD jokes back in '04 that I nearly wet 'em." :sarcasm:

7. Great, Nancy. Why wasn't impeachment on the table then?

Is the rule of law too hard for her to comprehend?

10. Pelosi later said, "And as punishment, we've decided to let him keep his job."
"What harm can he do?"
