House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will demand a seat in the table for the final talks on the national debt limit, putting a strong liberal voice in the room.

Pelosi and House Democrats were left out of the negotiations between President Obama and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) last year that extended nearly all of the Bush tax rates though 2012.

Pelosi didn’t participate in the final high-level talks over fiscal 2011 spending levels either.

But now she’s demanding her say at a time when many of her House Democratic colleagues are disappointed in Obama’s level of consultation with their caucus.

2. Where do I go to voice my support?

BRING PELOSI TO THE TABLE!

3. Why? She'll just take impeachment off the table again.

Oh, she'll let them serve "Democratic Ballz Soup" at the table she sits at, but she will take impeachment off the table every chance she gets!

Maybe she ought to remind Obama that bombing Libya for 4 months requires that he get Congress' approval and to quit playing little fucking stupidass word games like Bush and Bubba did.

4. Why?

So she can throw Anthony Wiener under the bus again?

5. Because

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said unequivocally today that she is opposed to raising the retirement age, and that scaling back Social Security should not be a means of reducing the deficit.
