Pelosi Disavows Responsibility for Obamacare Failures
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 31 Jan 2014 | John Semmens

Posted on 02/02/2014 10:20:36 AM PST by John Semmens

In an appearance on The Daily Show, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) insisted that “none of the problems of the Affordable Care Act are my fault. The bill we passed was over 2800 pages. I didn’t have time, no one had time to carefully read all of its provisions to see if there might be any glitches.”

“Beyond this there is always the problem of bureaucratic incompetence,” Pelosi continued. “Time after time we have passed legislation aimed at helping people—veterans benefits, medicare, medicaid, and now universal health insurance—only to see treatments bungled, services denied, and money wasted. It’s criminal.”

The show’s host, Jon Stewart, seemed perplexed by the Minority Leader’s stance. “With a repetition of the same kinds of problems in program after program when does learning from experience set in?” he asked.

“That’s a good question,” Pelosi acknowledged. “But you’re asking the wrong person. I’m no policy analyst. It’s the job of Congress to express the aspirations of the people by enacting laws that address their hopes and dreams. We trust the experts to make these laws work. If they can’t do that I guess there is no hope and the dream turns into a nightmare. The one thing we must not let happen is to give in to the naysayers who would exploit this failure to divert us from our course.”

I know this is satire, from one of the best satirists, but allow me to translate what Pelosi really said, “When I lie to get legislation passed, which is all the time, I cannot be held responsible for what the legislation actually does, because, well, I lied.”

“We’ve got to pass it to find out what’s in it”.

She didn't even know what was in the bill ("We have to pass it to find out what's in it.").

How can she possibly be held accountable for it?

There needs to be some kind of election reform to keep deadheads from being able to elect the likes of her.

The dry hag is a criminal. She should be arrested, tried and (if convicted) imprisoned for the remainder of her misused life.
