What a combination in Nancy Pelosi and Elanor Clift. Two liberal bimbos who worship the ground Obama walks on

This confirms what many already knew. the left will avoid Obama's record and instead attack the opposition and try to tell you things will be worse if thoise damn pesky Tea Party people win another electon




Nancy Pelosi (http://www.debatepolicy.com/articles/2011/08/01/nancy-pelosi-takes-gutsy-stand-backs-disliked-obama-boehner-debt-deal.html) reached for one of the <NOBR sizset="0" sizcache="191">Ghirardelli chocolates (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#)</NOBR> from the bowl that is always nearby on the table, explaining as she unwrapped the confection that the peppermint would help erase the bitter pill of the debt-ceiling deal (http://www.debatepolicy.com/articles/2011/08/01/debt-deal-latest-news-on-senate-house-votes.html) Congress had just passed. “It's
a bad deal, but it’s a done deal,” she said.


Now the Democratic leader in the House wants to talk about what should happen next.

“Next” for Pelosi and the Democrats means changing the conversation to jobs (http://www.debatepolicy.com/articles/2011/06/13/barack-obama-and-the-democrats-need-to-take-a-stand-for-jobs.html), and making sure voters know that the Tea Party (http://www.debatepolicy.com/articles/2011/07/31/debt-deal-shows-tea-party-s-clout-in-congress-but-may-still-not-get-its-support.html) hijacked the debate.

Pelosi agrees that the Republicans won in Congress (http://www.debatepolicy.com/articles/2011/08/01/tea-party-debt-deal-win-due-to-left-wing-void-end-of-war-on-terror.html) by framing the debate over raising the nation’s borrowing limit around the idea that the debt is everything. “But they didn’t win it with the American people,” she says. “I haven’t seen a poll yet that says, ‘Don’t tax the rich, we don’t want jobs, we just want to deal with this debt first, second, last, and always.’”


Stung by the outcome in Congress (http://www.debatepolicy.com/articles/2011/07/22/democrats-fume-on-sidelines-as-obama-goes-solo-on-debt-deal-with-boehner.html), Democrats are portraying the Tea Party as reckless extremists bent on destroying government. "If it was about the deficit, we can deal with it," Pelosi said Wednesday during a gathering with reporters in her office. "This is about destroying the public space.” Everything from clean air and water to <NOBR>national parks (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#)</NOBR> and food safety and regulation will be compromised if the Tea Party gets the draconian cuts it wants. Saying this is a “fragile ecosystem” that we have, Pelosi personalized what’s at stake, saying, "I'm a mom and a grandmother talking now. Don’t mess with that.”


She recalled that when her children, all five of them, were little, there were endless arguments over who did what to whom, or whose foot was leaning against whose knee in the car. But when they headed out of the city and over one of the San Francisco bridges, “We had a family thing—throw it over the bridge.”


Pelosi wants to jettison the debt debate (http://www.debatepolicy.com/articles/2011/07/10/boehner-pulls-out-of-debt-talks-how-the-debate-has-become-pathetic.html) the same way. “So let’s just go to the next place,” she said. “Every day we talk about this [debt] and we’re not talking about jobs, it plays right into the hand of the Republicans.”
