Pelosi acts as if she is powerless in disaster ‘Daily Show’ appearance
Watchdog ^ | 1/31/14

**SNIP**

“I don’t know,” Pelosi said when asked by Stewart why it was so hard for the government to “get a company to execute” something like building HealthCare.Gov “competently?”

“Well, let me get the House minority leader here, I can ask her, hold on,” Stewart said through laughter, mocking her answer. “Wait. What do you mean you don’t know? How do you not know?”

“It’s not my responsibility,” Pelosi said.

“Call us responsible.” - NP
...
“How do you not know?” - JS
“It’s not my responsibility” - NP
...
“We worked very hard to honor our responsibility to pass a bill that honors the vows of our founders; life, a healthier life, liberty to pursue your happiness...” -NP

So there in a nutshell is the problem.

“we can expect to hear a lot of this over the next several months...“It’s not my responsibility,”

Who knew that when she stated “we have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it” she included herself....

Don’t blame her. Blame the idiot voters who keep re-electing her.

Idiot! “Universal health care gives you freedom and the pursuit of happiness. If you want to be an artist and so on this allows you to do so.” What about the freedom of those you have to steal from in order to accomplish that you idiot? How about those people who have to work another 100 hours a year to pay increased premiums to pay for the health care of some slacker who realizes it’s easier to sit home and paint (or play video games) than get a real job so he can pay for his own health care? That stolen freedom doesn’t matter, huh? Man, how I despise these people.

I believe that no one could read and then comprehend the meaning and nuance of the law. It is too large and the subject too complex. Expertise in infinite quantity would be required.

That's true, and a fair point especially with some of these laws that have hundreds of pages of appended text. HOWEVER... There should at least be an executive summary that lists all of the primary bullet points touched by the proposed bill. This law didn't even have that. They're still finding sections in there that it seems nobody even knew were there.

This wretch is a symptom. By her very position in our political life she signals the on rushing death of our nation.

We are the people that raised up a Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and a Lincoln. Today we raise up this poor creature and elect as President a negro "Community Organizer."

Almost all political types, Liberal, Conservative or so called Independent recognize the fact our nation is dying and once again she and her ilk are signs.

The Speaker was foolish for making her pronouncement even though it was true.

The fact is or at least seems to me, that what is in the law will never be known and it will be argued in court for ever.

My thought is that it will die before it fully comes to life

How disgusting the Democratic Party is.

In full view of the audience that watches Liebowitz, too.

Nanzi is powerfully clueless, a terrible way to make the rest of us to go through life.

She is borderline senile and simply can’t mentally handle simple questions. Like Mc Cain or Harry Reid, Mc Connell.

There needs to be a mandatory retirement age, like most corporations used to have and some still do (see Cargill).

Yesterday I was at a continuing education seminar and one of the speakers discussed Obamacare. He was a Cum Laude graduate of Harvard Law School and has spent his entire twenty + year counseling businesses on health care benefits for their employees. This was a guy who was extremely bright (obviously not an affirmative action product of Harvard Law like at least one other person we know) who said the law is an unmitigated mess understood by nobody. This was a guy who is infinitely more capable of understanding it than virtually anybody else who has ever looked at it. The idea that Nancy Pelosi has any idea what's in it is a joke.

"“It’s not my responsibility,”"

So using that logic, if I light a campfire which gets out of control, ignites a wildfire which later on burns down a town, killing all the residents, it's not my fault?

You said....
“we can expect to hear a lot of this over the next several months...“It’s not my responsibility,””

Or “it’s not my fault.”

Those laws are written by lawyers not the idiots in congress. She couldn’t even read the 20,000 pages of the law and regulations and understand them...
