(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said on Friday that Congress should hand over to President Barack Obama personal, unilateral authority to increase the limit on the U.S. government's debt.

At a Friday press conference, a reporter asked Pelosi if she agreed with a proposal made by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that Congress give Obama the power to unilaterally increase the debt limit.

"Yes," she said.

When he met with members of Congress on Thursday to discuss a deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff that is set to occur at the end of this year, Secretary Geithner suggested that Congress give Obama the personal power as president to lift the legal limit on the federal government's debt.

It has caved in, eons ago as have the idiots who keep reelecting this psychopath. One way to get rid of her is to have a constitutional requirement that all member of Congress submit to random drug testing. My niece is a drug counselor who is absolutely certain Nancy there has a little old methamphetamine habit. She says she displays all the symptoms while speaking, and I believe it after watching a few videos of Ms. Pelosi in action. This is a good one-She says this isn’t botox but meth that makes her laugh like this. She snorts it and her nasal passages are messed up:

The Congress shall have Power ...

To borrow Money on the credit of the United States...No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.

That’s an interesting take. She does act tweaked, but I just chalked it up to a biddy who was showing advanced signs of aging.

Thanks for the mention. Drug testing... one more thing I’m going to have to learn to support when it comes to Congress. ;^)

LOL, yeah I saw that when it happened. She is a real bozo. Hey, perhaps your niece is on to something there.

Notice how the ladies immediately brush it off. If Quayle had done something like that we’d still be hearing about it 30 years later.

She’s been in the congress for a quarter of a century and still doesn’t know what it’s for. Sure doesn’t say much for her constituents.

Why don’t we just get rid of Congress altogether and put it’s members out of work and turn the building into a museum piece? Queen Botox and her ilk are eagerly, and joyfully willing to turn their Constitutional powers over to the executive branch.

“Cryptkeeper”...I love it, it's a perfect description of Colmes.

The guy is seriously at a disadvantage debating conservatives and his reasoning on this issue displays it perfectly.

No president should have this authority, Repub or Dem. I used to love it when Hannity kept him in check but it was to little avail, now Alan just goes off on tangents.

I don’t think that it’s going to take all that much more before I could be persuaded to go to the barricades.

Bless you, fellow patriot. I'll stand with you when the day comes.
