Nancy Pelosi was in room when Gabrielle Giffords opened her eyes (The Miracles Keep Coming)
Politico ^ | 1/12/2011 | Politico

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, all close friends of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’, were in the hospital room with the Arizona Democrat when she opened her eyes Wednesday for the first time since she was shot in the head Saturday during a rampage that killed six in Tucson, Ariz.

“We had been telling her that she was inspiring the country with her courage and that we couldn’t wait to take her out to pizza and a weekend away. Then after she heard our voices and the encouragement of Mark and her parents, she struggled briefly and opened her eyes for the very first time,” Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said in a statement to POLITICO. “It was a miracle to witness.”

So who is going to get credit for the miracle? Barry or Nancy?

If she can live through that, she can live through anything.

I hate to be a miracle buster but,

“Giffords can open her eyes, but because she is on a ventilator she can’t speak, said Rhee.”

Horse Sh*t! More than likely she opened her eyes saw those bitches and blinked. Get the hell out of here you gun hating scumbags. If someone had been there with a concealed carry permit innocent live may not have been lost. Get Out. Then she fell asleep and rested peacefully.

Also January 9th (from a link at your link);

Giffords is in a drug-induced coma in intensive care. Doctors frequently awaken her to check her responsiveness, and she could open her eyes and respond to simple commands Sunday - an encouraging sign, said Rhee said.

Giffords cannot speak because she is on a ventilator, and cannot see because of the area of her injury and the surgery requires her eyes be kept closed, the doctors said.

Sounds like she could always open her eyes, the doctors just didn’t want her to for a while after her surgery.

So what are Obama and Pelosi babbling about...

Little known factoid. Dr. Rhee suffered from severe gingivitis. That smile he flashes on camera is a near full set of false teeth, as he lost almost all his original set due to intractable gum disease.

His close friends know this little secret and call him One Tooth Rhee...

You're right. This was from a newspaper story Monday January 10. Obama’s version, that she opened her eyes for the first time when he was in her room was a self-serving lie. There is no depth to which the MSM and the Democrats will go to try to exploit this tragedy for political gain.

Um, not to rain on the parade, but if "Gabby" had had her way, Pelosi wouldn't even be the minority leader, Gifford voted against her, not exactly an act of friendship.....

On 5 January, Giffords voted for John Lewis, D-GA05 for Minority Leader, making her one of the 43 Donks who failed to vote for San Fran Nan.
