Nancy Pelosi blames Republicans for nation’s ills
By: Simmi Aujla June 8, 2010 10:40 AM EDT
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, speaking to a friendly audience of progressive activists, was ready to cast blame for the country’s troubles Tuesday morning.
She blamed the exploding national debt on the Bush administration and said Democrats’ push to invest in education, job creation and health care would bring America out of its financial troubles.
“President Obama and the Democratic caucus have saved this country from a financial crisis created under the Bush administration,” Pelosi told the America’s Future Now gathering in Washington.
She blamed Republicans for de-regulating big oil, assuring the receptive crowd that BP would be held accountable for its handling of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
And she had harsh words for Wall Street, as the House and Senate get set for a final conference committee on a financial reform bill.
“No longer will recklessness on Wall Street be able to cause joblessness on Main Street,” she said. “No longer will those on Wall Street be able to privatize the gain and nationalize the risk, send the bill to the taxpayer if things don’t go their way,” she said.
She said the oil spill crisis highlighted the difference between Republicans and Democrats approach to problem solving.
“It seems to me the choice is clear,” she said. “Democrats want to rein in big oil, the Republicans say no. Democrats wanted to rein in health insurance costs, the Republicans said no. The Democrats are reigning in big banks and the Republicans are saying no.”

Good one sickoflibs - laughing at the thought... Matthews is incapable of being unbiased.
Actually in that case it was left hate against Israel.
Spend, spend, spend and blame it on George Bush (& Republicans). She thinks we are sooooo STUPID!
We know the left hates Israel - because dems talk to us. Is it that Jews don’t know because dems know what Jews look like and they’re not “real” with them? It is odd....
“She blamed the exploding national debt on the Bush administration”.....
News flash to Nan!.....Your excuses are beyond lame. Do you hear that train coming?....I’ts headed straight for you and your commie buddies!
Democraps are for “job creation”.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, now THAT is funny. They are doing SO well at it.
(snort) NOT!
Pelosis is swamp gas!
George Washington’s fault!.....
What makes this more fun for me is the memory of GWB dividing the GOP with amnesty. Can Pelosi, Obama, etc. divide the Dems that much?
What bothers me about issues like this, is that all the Dems are for it. Then you have the titular head of the party (supposedly) on our side hawking the same nonsense.
Then people get upset because we call the guy a RINO.
Well, if not a RINO, we still don’t need friends like that.
And I’m sticking with RINO thank you very much. ;-)
I didn’t mean the amnesty issue itself. I was talking about leftists throwing things (literally) at Nancy over health care issues. I guess they would call Pelosi a DINO.
Well sorry to address something you hadn’t intended. No, Pelosi couldn’t do something like this. Their party is on the same page. Ours isn’t.
You’re both so right. I just dug this up from the pre-2008 election:
