Pelosi: Bush harmed country
Source: DC Examiner

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says today was a memorable day in history. She recalled her feelings during the official count of the electoral college votes on Capitol Hill today to Jim Lehrer of The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. The official tally was read by Vice President Cheney in the House chambers. President-elect Barack Obama received 365 of the 538 votes.

During her one-on-one interview, Pelosi shared her thoughts about Obama's upcoming administration. She believes President Obama will look out for the future of the nation's children. A point she seems to suggest was lost under the current administration.

Pelosi claims President Bush brought "harm to the country." When pressed by Lehrer for clarification, she added that she has kind regards for Bush as a person but thinks he leaves behind a "legacy of missed opportunity."

8. This woman has more never than any other public figure alive
today, including Dick Cheney. To say something like this just boggles the mind. She's an opportunist to the core. There's a new sheriff in town and now she's gonna play that field for a while.

Couple of drinks of kool-aid, and she'll feel fine.

4. And she enabled him and worked with him and took
impeachment off the table - she is an accomplice to his crimes.

All the harm he did, she is part of, she let him do it and gave her stamp of approval.

6. Pelosi re-funded the wars after saying she was elected to end them --- !!!
You can watch Pelosi on film saying WHY the Dems were elected in 2006 . . .

right after the election . . . "to end the war."

11. No shit, Sherlock.
Unfortunately, impeachment wasn't an option. Impeachment, as we all know, is really only a remedy when blow-jobs occur. Illegal wars and the shredding of the Constitution don't merit setting the table. For those actions, a mild rebuke in the press shall suffice.

"When pressed by Lehrer for clarification, she added that she has kind regards for Bush as a person but thinks he leaves behind a "legacy of missed opportunity.""

Kind regards? Missed opportunity? What a better country this would be had Nancy Pelosi not been returned to Congress. That was the missed opportunity. Not all of us have kind regards for Nancy Pelosi.

If she were sincere in ANYTHING she said, then she would have worked earlier to impeach the MFer. As it stands, she's nothing but a Vichy enabler.

23. The saying is "Dance with the one who brought you" Nancy, not "Dance with the one who bought you"
Edited on Fri Jan-09-09 01:39 PM by ReadTomPaine
The latter is for a different, older profession. Hard as it may be for you, try not to confuse them.

You had the power, you had the money and you had the mandate. All that was missing was the will to do anything about it.

Disaster Nancy strikes again. I wish she had the same kind regards for the constituents that voted her into office to stop this mess and take on the oversight role she is obligated to fill rather than waste her affections on a deranged lunatic opposition party leader who takes every opportunity to demonize her home district of San Francisco.

27. Both her and Reid need to change their rhetoric from soft on *ss to
pro Obama SOON. If they do not they need to be bombarded by emails. The problem with emails is that when any of us out of their states try to email them they have blockers. We need emails for their congressional leadership offices.

33. And she cooperated, actively
enabled or sat by silently when she should have spoken out and protested loudly. She is the epitome of everything wrong, dysfunctional, bad-old-politics-as-usual and tragic about our Congress these days. She and her damn table that impeachment is/was off of.

44. And for a "Torturer-in-chief" who never stopped LYING about...
being one, not to mention a "Traitor-in-chief" for approving the leak of a CIA covert agent name (Valerie Plame) while claiming he would "FIRE" anyone who would have been "involved" (and never fired HIMSELF!), and not to mention all the rest.

I guess Nancy wants to "appeal" to the crazy wingnuts on the extreme-rigth again (and it still won't "work")...

Go figure. :cry:

48. but, hey, she will keep trying.
And trying, trying, and trying again.

And she will fail, fail, fail all over again.

There must be some psychologic (or illogic) explanation to this behavior.

If there is one, I'd like to know it.

51. I hope that there's torture in heaven.
And I hope that Sam Rayburn wields the whip and Everett Dirksen the ball-gag when this travesty of a speaker walks through the gates. By design the third most powerful position in the country and through artistry the most powerful has been wasted on this political lackey. The House Speaker can do so much for WE the people and what do we get...T.Boone's party girl.

Patting Gee Dubious reprovingly on the ass as he walks out the door. Now that's leadership. You go girl.
