Pelosi: Senate Republicans "irresponsible"
Speaker Nancy Pelosi got the job done in the House on the bailout, and now she's pointing fingers at Senate Republicans.
Here's her statement, released around midnight:
"The House-passed bipartisan legislation protects taxpayers, preserves environmental standards and places tough accountability measures on the auto companies to help ensure their long term viability and competitiveness. The House-passed bill demanded deep concessions from all parties -- the executives, shareholders and the union.
“Senate Republicans’ refusal to support the bipartisan legislation passed by the House and negotiated in good faith with the White House, the Senate and the automakers is irresponsible, especially at a time of economic hardship. The consequences of the Senate Republicans’ failure to act could be devastating to our economy, detrimental to workers, and destructive to the American automobile industry unless the President immediately directs Secretary Paulson to explore other short-term financial assistance options, including TARP and those available to the Federal Reserve. That is the only viable option available at this time."
pound sand San Fran Nanny.
RINOS need to hold out for the resignations of Dodd and Fwank.
Senate Republicans - the only sane people in Washington
Why doesn’t Pelosi organize private money to bail out GM?
Irresponsible for voting down unconstitutional bailout money to companies that burn through billions a month?
What about the democrats who voted pelousey! Are they also irresponsible? What a joke that woman is. Good Lord! We better get rid of the rinos and back our real conservatives. Quick. McClame Powell The Maine twins etc etc.
Here we go again...
Bipartisan? 90% of Pubbies voted against it! Guess anything San Fran Queen does, she thinks is bipartisan and pure as the wind driven snow!
Psh, this isn’t a free market. Get with the times, sheesh!
Yea,Yea...
now hop on your 200 seat jet and fly back to sansesspool
the inevitable scolding from Grandma Pelosi.
It’s such an affective tool that has endeared her to so many people!
Stamp those feet Nan!
So much for leadership and Howard Wolfson’s ludicrous claim that the majority of The American People (TM) side with the Dems!
“irresponsible” would be auto-maker CEOs who drove their companies into the ground...they just can’t get it right on Capitol Hill. Pitchforks!
Tell me, dear Nancy...how does that little part of the bill giving federal judges raises, protect taxpayers? What the HELL does that have to do with ANY bailout scheme?
This from fuhrer Reid: “I dread looking at Wall Street tomorrow. It’s not going to be a pleasant sight.”
This is the problem with America today. We ONLY care about the short term. We always assume we will somehow be able to deal with the long term but every time we put it off now, we make it that much worse in the future.
I'm still waiting on the "most ethical Congress in the history of the Republic" that she promised when she was handed the gavel in '06. Seems to be going the other way to me.....
Kettle, meet Pot.
