Pelosi: Obama Has Been ‘So Respectful’ of GOP Lawmakers and ‘Engaged With American People’ By Edwin Mora April 19, 2012

(CNSNews.com) -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters on Thursday that President Barack Obama has been “engaged” with the American people and “so respectful” of GOP lawmakers when urging them to work with his administration to craft a bi-partisan solution to the country’s problems.

Her comments at her weekly press briefing at the Capitol came in response to a reporter asking her to react to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Calif.) who said on Wednesday that the “president has been AWOL since Labor Day” and that he “lacks the courage to lead on the economy.”

Pelosi said, “The fact is [that] this president has been so respectful of the Republicans in Congress. He has given them every opportunity for the executive and the legislative branch to work together, to have a solution that has bi-partisan support. He’s been criticized by some for taking the time that it takes to find out that they’re never going to give him a break, which is a compromise.”

“One thing I do know with absolute certainty, President Obama was in agreement with the grand bargain, which the two of them negotiated last summer,” said Pelosi. “When he asked us, the Democrats in Congress, can you support us going down a path that doesn’t have as much revenue as we want, but that it has the balance, that has cuts that are painful, but also has some revenue in terms of assuming the repeal of the Bush tax cuts [on Dec. 31, 2012] he said, go for it, that would be our recommendation.

pe-louse-i is such a mental defective. Shouldn’t someone in her family have her committed for her own good. She is such a smarmy cockroach.

Nanse is the quintessential democrat. She believes in her heart that anyone that doesn’t see things her way are simpletons and must be corrected with condescending lies as necessary. She lives in her own self-aggrandizing chaotic bubble world oblivious to rational thought. Poor thing needs to be put in a home for the terminally stupid.

This is what makes her a perfect Democrat congressional leader.

It goes along with what I posted before:

“Obama runs as the guy who is too nice to kick out. The sooner we realize that his campaign is actually based upon his likability factor, the sooner we can put out the right fire. He is constantly being pushed as the wonderful family man, the man with such a genuine smile (barf), the man who is so soooo nice. He is put forth as humble and nearly, if not, sinless. They want people to so like him that they just cannot pull themselves to the task of not voting for him. He is being run as the man who must be doing things right or he wouldn't be so confident, happy and nice, the man we must trust, even if we don't understand why things don't seem to be going well. He must know something that we don't. A god, we should trust him no matter what (barf).

If we can show his not so nice side, somehow, which we well know he has, to the Nation than we will beat him easily. This is where we should concentrate some effort. It is not so much about politics, as far as they are concerned, but about a created cult of personality."
