Pelosi: GOP ‘Makes So Much’ of Scandals Because Obama Is ‘Such a Great President’ May 16, 2013 By Elizabeth Harrington

(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that Republicans are using scandals coming out of the White House to undermine President Barack Obama out of "fear," because he is “such a great president.”

“They make so much of these issues, because this president is such a great president,” Pelosi said during a press conference on Capitol Hill, ending a week filled with new revelations about scandals involving the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) targeting conservative groups, and the Justice Department seizing phone records of reporters at the Associated Press.

“He’s a visionary—you’ve heard me say this so many times,” Pelosi said of Obama. “This is a great president. He’s a visionary. He has a knowledge of our country, concerns of the American people that give him judgment as to what plan we should have to go forward to strengthen the middle class.

“And he has an eloquence to convey that message,” she said. “They fear that, and so any issue that comes up, they will try to exploit.”

Pelosi acknowledged that while some of the scandals are “legitimate issues,” they should not be the primary focus of Congress.

“And some of them are legitimate issues, but they should not dominate everything,” she said. “And so what I think is that they have used talking points on Benghazi. They will use the IRS. They will use the AP. They will use these as, again, subterfuges, evasions of what the American people want us to do here.”

Rep. Pelosi, let’s see what you say when investigations find out your office—and possibly you!—may have gotten access to confidential IRS taxpayer information for political reasons. Can you say a long list of charges against you, and you could be sued also?

That's the real news out of this interview. If Propaganda Minister Nan acknowledges that these are legitimate issues, it means they are huge issues. The rest is her usual BS that doesn't deserve a column on page C-20.

She and all other members of Congress are exempt. We screamed about that when they were passing the thing but nobody listened.

This dope is stuck in 2008. I was surprised to see the Dem mayor of Jersey City using Obama in his campaign ads these past few weeks; I don’t know why anyone would at this point. He lost his primary to a young veteran (who didn’t use Obama), because Asians went overwhelmingly for the outsider while even the welfare population couldn;t get excited about the Dem machine incumbent.

I think many people fail to understand how miserable our welfare class is; even free money, due to unreported inflation, buys a lot less.

Another example of just how far down the road to our own destruction these idiots have taken us.
