Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President Bush’s speech at the United Nations in New York:

“It is one thing to give a speech about promoting peace, freedom, and democracy in broad, general terms as President Bush did at the United Nations today. It is another to commit to doing the hard work of diplomacy on a daily basis to resolve matters such as Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Syria’s support for Hezbollah, and the issues that divide Israelis and Palestinians.

“The President’s words need to be matched by sustained diplomatic engagement with our allies, and directly with our adversaries when necessary – not just when elections are near, but all the time. Mr. Bush’s rhetoric must be matched by policies that are well devised and competently implemented – unlike the policies that have made the United States less safe, such as the war in Iraq or the failure to finish the fight against terrorists in Afghanistan.”

Even Pelosi seems to be getting bored with Pelosi!

[newconhere]

She is a bitch. (Can I say that here?)

[Gordongekko909]

Same as Dean's statement. "You suck, but we don't have any ideas, except jamming as many buzzwords into our speeches as possible. Oh, yeah: 'peace,' 'diplomacy,' 'smarter.'"

[redlocks322]

Boy she gets on my nerves.

[RightWhale]

It is annoying when people advise you to do what you are already doing. But, Pelosi knows that.

[anoldafvet]

How can any American have any criticism of the President speech? He expounded on American values and expressed his vision of a freer more Democratic world.

And someone on the live thread said of course you can't have a Dem response to a UN speech!

How can any American have any criticism of the President speech?

Some people (virtually an entire political party, in fact) hold partisanship higher than patriotism.

[oyez]

It doesn't even make sense to criticize the President for non achievement, but when he does something positive its done to improve Republican's influence over the next election.She does not think like a leader, the thinks like a looser.

[demkicker]

This is when I'd like to have an animated gif of fingernails scratching a chalkboard.

In her own words.

Written last night.

[Virulas]

She can do better. Nowhere within the response is the term "swiftboating." She must have been in a hurry.

[Rovendem]

Like it matters...

[toddlintown]

You knew this was coming.
