Pelosi's silent treatment shows breaks with President Obama
The HIll ^ | October 20, 2011 | Mike Lillis

For House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), disagreement with President Obama often takes the form of silence.

While rank-and-file House Democrats have been outspoken in taking the White House to task over issues as diverse as foreclosure prevention, environmental protection and funding the federal government, Pelosi has stayed quiet or shifted her talking points to attacks on the GOP.

The intention is to stay united with the president, and not let Republicans or other groups take advantage of any divide between the White House and congressional Democrats.

Pelosi’s tactics can be seen clearly in the decision by a broad coalition of California Democrats to urge Obama in writing last week to take bolder steps to prevent home foreclosures, which are endemic in much of the state.

“The administration has simply not done a darn thing to help my constituents,” Democratic Rep. Dennis Cardoza told reporters, summarizing the sentiments of many Democrats regarding the president’s housing policies.

Pelosi did not sign the letter — something a spokesman described as her custom on group letters to the administration. Instead, the minority leader is preparing a similar letter of her own, the spokesman said, although the contents of that message have yet to be released.

Nazi Peloski is keeping her piehole shut because (A) every time she opens it she proves just how batshit crazy she is, and (B) what’s left of her fellow House Dhimmies realize it is her fault that so many of their friends have been replaced by those evil Tea Partiers, and are terrified that they will be next (and right they are...!!).

I’ve seen a couple of her few appearances over the past couple of months and she still sounds like the Number One Fleabagger apologist in the Country.

As long as voters embrace politicians the likes of Pelosi, Reid, or Obumo, we have a much greater problem than home foreclosures.

She’s really out there isn’t she.

I couldn’t believe her rant the other day about women dying on the floor if there are abortion restrictions relating to healthcare coverage. Then she said how the GOP wants dirty air, dirty water, and wants mercury contamination, all in one long screed.

She gives liberalism a bad name.

Pelosi lied on the DNC candidate eligibility form so there’s no leaving the game for her.

True. Also, her health care plan has done more to ruin Obama’s presidency than anything he has personally done.

Her letter of resignation will be her obituary in the San Francisco Chronicle. That's the only way she is getting out of Congress.

Or an eathquake kills her constituency. (take a look at her district...all loonies, all the time.)
