Nancy Pelosi snaps at White House adviser Gene Sperling

By: John Bresnahan and Jonathan Allen April 14, 2011 08:47 AM EDT

In a tense moment that may well have encapsulated the frustrations of three-plus months in the minority, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi snapped at a top presidential economic adviser, Gene Sperling, during a closed-door meeting between White House aides and House Democratic leaders Wednesday.

“Maybe you could consult with us just once,” Pelosi said, according to one source’s account. Others confirmed the basic content of the stand-out barb from the former speaker in the midst of an active but largely cordial meeting.

At the time, Sperling was discussing the form and mission of a new bipartisan congressional working group the president wants to charge with establishing a deficit-reduction plan. In the president’s view, it would consist of 16 members, plus the vice president as chairman, and finish up by the end of June.

House Democratic leaders didn’t like the size of it, the reporting date, which falls very close to the deadline for raising the debt ceiling, or the perception that a White House plan had been baked without input from the president’s allies on Capitol Hill.

Sperling told Pelosi that the White House welcomed House Democratic input and that the plan wasn’t set in stone. Get your thoughts together, he told the Democratic leaders, and sent them on down Pennsylvania Avenue.

I’m afraid the strain was more than (s)he could bear...

LOL! So much for the three separate branches of government thingy. Pelosi also believes that the Constitution grants unlimited power to Congress on everything - especially while she's speaker.

They don’t even know what’s in a bill which effects 1/3 of the American economy? Why consult them on anything?

[PLD]

They have used you up old lady,you can no longer help them as much as you could before so your opinion does not matter..Take your bottle of botox and shut up and leave them alone..How does it feel you old bat to get slapped in the face by these communist in the white house?

[Michael.SF.]

from the former speaker

That sure has a nice ring to it.

[silverleaf]

He should have told her

“You’ll have to pass the plan to know what’s in it...Ma’am.”

"Nancy Pelosi snaps"

I thought this was an article on the effects of her latest face lift and botox shot.

Maybe it has something to do with those who inconvenient paper ( OCONS ) that Nancy signed to certify Obama in 2008 that Donald Trump's people are or could be checking into Nancy ? Yeah Nancy ? why so irritible and jumpy ? is it because Trump is getting to close to the truth ?

Come on Donald Trump, you need to start asking questions about Nancy Pelosi's involvement of her signing those 2 DNC OCONS in 2008.
That would be a fight worth watching Trump and Pelosi going at it.

Do you suppose they’ll do to her what they did the much more likable old horse in Animal Farm?

[PLD]

LOL!I think they started from day one when she lost the congress for them..Just wait Reid will be next when they find someone to replace him they will put him out to pastor..

Trump is playing his cards very slowly...making the Rats squirm.

You may be onto something though about him having the goods on Nancy. If he does, he'll play that card at the right time to cause maximum damage.

Love watching liberals, MSM squirm as the Trumpster hunts for the truth.

[Army Air Corps]

Odumbo doesn't really consult with anyone. Nancy, he just wants you clap and exclaim, “Doubleplusgood, duckspeaker!”

[Yaelle]

She is scared to death that trump’s going to mention her next. She signed off on Obama’s eligibility; he didn’t. He will just say “I didn’t know. I was told I was born in Hawaii.” she’s the one on the line.

My hope - she's miffed for the next 1000 years.

I wonder how this chiseler is flying to California these days. She and her husband own private jets.
