Pelosi 'enormously disappointed' in Obama
The Hill ^ | 12/11/14 | Mike Lillis

Posted on 12/12/2014 1:49:56 AM PST by Libloather

In a rare break from President Obama, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) blasted the White House on Thursday for putting its weight behind the $1.1 trillion government funding package.

In a speech decrying the “cromnibus” on the House floor, Pelosi, the minority leader, noted that Republican defections have given the Democrats significant leverage in the debate and wondered why the White House wouldn't use that power to fight the conservative policy riders that have sparked the Democrats' outcry.

“I'm enormously disappointed that the White House feels that the only way they can get a bill is to go along with this,” Pelosi said. “And that would be the only reason they would sign such a bill that would weaken ‘a critical component of financial system reform aimed at reducing taxpayer risk.’ Those are the words in the administration's statement.”

Liberal Democrats are up in arms over two GOP amendments to the sweeping year-end spending bill. The first would undo parts of the Democrats' 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law; the second would allow wealthy donors to give a great deal more money to political parties.

Pelosi and the Democrats have panned those inclusions, arguing that, not only are they bad policies, but they have no business in a government spending bill.

Obama disagrees. In a statement issued Thursday, the White House said it would back the spending package despite reservations over the controversial provisions.

The White House was quick to downplay the divisions with Pelosi.

“The president's respect and affection for Leader Pelosi are no secret,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Thursday. “That said, it's clear that we have a difference of opinion here.”

Well Nancy, if you really mean it, you just get on over there to your lameduck Senate majority pals and convince them to “shut down the government” then.

Bullcrap, people. Read between the lines here.

"The first would undo parts of the Democrats' 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law; the second would allow wealthy donors to give a great deal more money to political parties."

In other words, those changes benefit the establishments of both parties, and giving San-Fran-Nan and Fauxohanutas an opportunity to call the Bamster a pooty-head gives her street cred with her base back in on the Left Coast.

Meanwhile, Boehner funds both Obamacare and Amnesty for a year because the Corporate fat-cats running the eGOP want both....and...All is well in establishment land.

As for the voters? BOHICA baby! Now bend over, take it, and like it!

“It’s clear she doesn’t want a black man in the White House.”

After six years in office I still don’t know if we have an African American President, or an American African. He sure has done a good job of imitating the president of Zimbawbe, Robert Mugabe.

I am afraid that Boehner and the RINOs will give the libs everything they want in some House-Senate joint agreement.

‘a critical component of financial system reform aimed at reducing taxpayer risk.’

DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic. DEFUND/DISMANTLE their BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISM.

Socialism Is Legal Plunder

You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

To prevent this, you would exclude socialism from entering into the making of laws? You would prevent socialists from entering the Legislative Palace?

/Bastiat

Yes, we can.
