Pelosi Caught In Major Lie Says Bush Didn’t Warn Congress About Financial Crisis… Records Show He Warned Congress 17 Times in 2008 Alone

Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a news conference last week and told reporters this:

During her weekly press conference on April 15, a reporter asked Pelosi a seemingly innocuous question about taxes. Pelosi prefaced her response with a fairly standard litany: explaining the dire state of the U.S. economy inherited by President Obama and setting the blame at the foot of the Bush administration. But she also added this: “When [then-Senator Obama] accepted the nomination in Colorado, the [Bush] Administration had kept from the public the idea that, in a matter of weeks, the financial community would be in crisis, and we would need to pass the TARP legislation.”

The state-run media is trying to make something of this latest Pelosi fabrication today.

But, what Speaker Pelosi failed to mention was that President Bush warned the Democratic Congress 17 times in 2008 alone about the systemic consequences of financial turmoil at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk that either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would encounter such difficulties.

I knew letting in that Bi@#h in 06 was bad news. As much as I was frustrated with Republican spending the other party was much much worse.

They do care what was said if it’s something they think works in their favor. Every time I see them try to pull the same tactics we do it’s always very, very lame.

Whatever a Progressive believes to be the truth is truth to them. E.G. the semen stained blue dress and “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” They truly are mentally ill.

Yes, let it be said that the truth has never been a threat to Nancy Pelosi. That is the sign of a truly delusional person.

No, no, no, no.

It’s only a lie if she purposefully told it as a lie at the time she said it to harm someone else.

Any other conditions are not lies, they are newspeak.

Turns out Joe McCarthy was right about communists infiltrating our entertainment industry and all levels of government all those years ago. The communists appeared to have gone underground, and reinvented themselves as progressives, all the while excoriating McCarthy, and demonizing a man who it turns out, was right as rain all along.
