On the President’s Comments Criticizing Congress
October 30th, 2007 by Speaker Pelosi

You would think that the President would take pride in the New Direction Congress’ bipartisan votes to make America safer by implementing the 9/11 Commission recommendations, give hard-working Americans a raise by increasing the minimum wage, make college more affordable for many more Americans, pass an Innovation Agenda to keep America number one, and uphold a high ethical standard by passing a sweeping lobbying and ethics reform bill. The President signed all these bipartisan bills; yet now he calls them a waste of time.

And the President calls Congressional oversight that has uncovered tens of billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse in Iraq a ‘waste of time.’ We call billions spent in no-bid contracts to Halliburton a waste of money.

Instead of criticizing Congress, the President’s time would be better spent working in a bipartisan way to end this disastrous war in Iraq, keep our promises to our veterans by providing the largest veterans’ health care investment in history, and providing health care for 10 million children.

1. But does she walk the talk...?

On impeachment?

On continuing to fund Shrub's war with no end?

Tough talk, but show me the money Nancy! :boring:




on edit: BTW, I do agree with what Nancy said - and had expected much more out of Congress in 07.

2. Oooh, Nancy. You are going to hurt Bush's feelings with those harsh words!

And while you're speaking them, keep in mind that over 700 troops have died in Iraq ON YOUR WATCH. Remember that war in Iraq you keep referring to? Well, people are dying over there every day.

So, it's going to take more than harsh words to make change. It's going to take action. Kick ass and take names later action.

And you're going to have to put up with criticism from the reicht wing.

SO QUIT TALKING AND GET ON WITH IT ALREADY! I DARE YOU!! I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE IT ANY YOU!!!

PROVE ME WRONG, NANCY!

3. Did we miss the last sentence?

Where shes says "Not REALLY!" and submissively urinates on herself. Quick Nancy, time to beat on Dennis Kucinich for saying mean things about George.

5. Hey, welcome to DU

You're really making the rounds here. I like your altitude.

:toast:
:hi:

4. Oh Nancy, please!

Bush doesn't give a rat's ass about any of that taking care of the people shit. He doesn't want to end the war either. Why is she surprised? Is she actually offended by this? Spare me.

6. Per KO, she had a few more words than this. Video should be out

somewhere soon. The truth, especially coming from Pelosi, is refreshing!

7. pass an Innovation Agenda to keep America number one,

Exactly what is America number one in except bombing and killing people?
