If President Obama is disappointed in his point-woman in the House, he wasn’t showing it Monday at a Democratic fundraiser in Miami Beach. “I don’t think people quite understand. Nancy Pelosi is not simply the first woman speaker of the House,” he told the crowd. “I think she’s going to go down as one of the greatest speakers of all time. And she’s very nice and she’s very friendly, but, boy, she is tough. And that’s what you need when you’re putting up with all the criticism and the carping and the griping — and that’s from the Democrats. I mean, you should see what she has to put up with — from the Republicans. So I could not have a better partner in trying to move the country than Nancy Pelosi.”

going down?
ha-ha ha!
The PelosiO, with the growing nose, for lying so much.
Biggest socialist in the office, that’s for sure. I suppose that is a measure for success for democrats.
And once again, flattering photo’s of democrats make the news.
Bush, Cheney for four years? Not so much.
Pelosi’s approval ratings are lower than Bush and Cheney’s.
Wonder how Piglosi likes her new 30 mill broomstick she flies around on ; at taxpayers expense
This column has to be Rhonda’s attempt at humor. It missed the mark. I watched the ‘friendly’ Ms Pelosi in action the last time I was in DC. She was surrounded by a possee in dark suits and never lowered her nose or her eyes to acknowledge that she was walking among voters and citizens of our great nation. Many others from both parties not only acknowledged but stopped to speak to my grandkids who were with me.
Pelosi is just as arrogant in person as she is on the tube. The eye roll she gave Harry Ried the other day is her normal manner.
“It appears that Pelosi uses military aircraft less often than her predecessor, former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.
The documents cover the period from January 2007 to November 2008 and show that Pelosi made the equivalent of 20 round-trips between Washington (Andrews Air Force Base) and San Francisco. That’s an average of less than one round-trip per month. In contrast, former Speaker Hastert traveled home to his Illinois district virtually every weekend and, his former aides tell ABC News, he would almost always travel on military aircraft.”

Rhonda, like many libs, thinks her opinion has more weight than millions of Americans who have her approval rating at one of the lowest ever. But then again, looking at Rhonda’s picture, she does look to have a bit of a weight problem.
New NBC/WSJ Poll has Dems at 42 percent approval.
HA! Just goes to show that America doesn’t like your brand of socialism!
Uh . . . however . . . uh . . . Republicons are polling at 25 percent approval.
Must be something wrong with the polling methodology.
Yeah, the poll is obviously wrong.
(heavy sarcasm)
Donn–
Rhonda is way more CON than lib.
But then, compared to you, Goldwater is a pinko.
Donnie offers:
“But then again, looking at Rhonda’s picture, she does look to have a bit of a weight problem.”

Gee Donnie, that was a pretty chickenschitt remark, even for you.
“she does look to have a bit of a weight problem.”
Under Obamacare, she will end up paying more for health insurance. She is a risk. It will cost taxpayers more for that FREE healthcare insurance. So like tobacco smokers, fat people will have to pay a higher price.
No proposal for Health Insurance Reform has promised “free” health coverage other than existing S-CHIP and Medicaid programs.
You CONs are railing against a figment of your imagination.

Tell me about the 46/47 million without healthcare. How many cannot afford it? How many truly poor people are going to get it?
And explain to me, if you will why both the House plans and the Senate Markup provides subsidized coverage for those making up to 400% of the FPL?
And please explain the many “exemptions” from paying a penalty or paying their “share” of costs which are contained in the Senate markup.
I’ve posted links to them before.
“FREE HEALTHCARE” postings by me are general statements which makes fun of those thinking they will get CHEAPER, low cost, or no cost healthcare insurance FOR FREE.
Anybody care to speculate on which nics Rhonda and Phil use on the blog?
My speculation is:
Brownlee is DavidB and Rhonda is Politicalmoma.
“SOME”body always has to pay. Libs don’t care. As long as over 50% of Americans get it FOR FREE or REDUCED COST.
It’s FREE!!!!
Continue to fill in the lack of facts or arguments with personal insults and non-sequiters.
The Lie of the Week has not been determined yet..
I think XXX has the hots for Rhonda.
Well thanks for the compliment!
When will Reid post his health care bill? What is he afraid of? Thought this admin believed in “sunlight”.
Guess that just sounded good on the campaign trail though.

And when will he submit it to the CBO????
“Anybody care to speculate on which nics Rhonda and Phil use on the blog?

I’ve met all four people.
Rhonda and Phil make threads for this blog as one task that is part of a much bigger job. Their involvement with the blog is complete when they finish the thread header and get it scheduled.
Let me offer my apologies to Rhonda about the weight remark. I couldn’t help the pun.
For what it’s worth, she does have a charming smile.
DonnD–
I know PoliticalMom and she’s not Rhonda.
DonnD-
I know DavidB and he’s not Phil.
I don’t know Phil, so I can’t positively say he’s not me. But evidence indicates he is not me.
“American_Way” –
Senator Reid sent his committee’s mark-up to CBO Monday. Guess you missed that.
As for rehashing all the red-herrings you mention, I’m bored with WE Blog CONs’ parroting of the (cluster) Fux Noise Channel and Right Wingnut Radio talking points.
But here’s your first clue: “Subsidized” doesn’t mean “free.”
Also, that 40-45 million people include people who cannot purchase health insurance AT ANY PRICE,” due to “pre-existing conditions” which have been revealed to include “Being a woman,” “Being a battered spouse,” “Unreported Acne”….
That’s the system you’re defending, “American_Way.”
Deal with it.
As usual in the good old USA we reward poor behavior. Whether it be by giving more money to single women for breeding purposes or politicians for advocating we give more money to people behaving badly. Nancy will be cannonized soon.
“donndublin” –
What “pun?”
Oh MY!! I must apologize to Rhonda again and also to Phil for thinking their writing styles resembled those characters.
Second guess: Phil is CapnAmerica and Rhonda is lindainks55

I didn’t miss it. But I did forget about it. Thanks.
Now that you meantion it, I remember Reid saying he wouldn’t send over his fellow democrats proposal…

Linda why are you and so many others focused on WHO IS WHO and NIC’s?
Can’t you just post your opinions like everyone else?
Instead it’s like a high school popularity contest for you. Like reading People magazine. Tabloids.

Excuse me, but isn’t the Speaker of the House supposed to be an important part of the legislative branch? You know one of the branches designed to promote the separation of powers in that oft overlooked document, the constitution.
But now I learn that she is just a water carrier for the Obama. I suspected that.
It’s a team effort, O.

The self appointed troll policewoman punctuates my comment.
To the actual topic. It would not surprise me that Pelosi eventually goes down in history as a decent, if not great, Speaker. She actually seems to be doing a pretty good job dealing with her party in the House (and since the Dems are now the big tent party, that is not easy).
On the other hand, Harry Reid is a complete and total mess, and Nevada will probably do the Democrats a favor if (probably when) they send him packing.
Republicans — the party of old white men and the women who do their bidding are having a conniption about Pelosi, but she stands strong.
Yes, Agnatha, Nevada should do all Americans a favor and dump Reid!
RepublicansDemocrats — the party of old white men and the women who do their bidding are having a conniption aboutPelosiPalin, but she stands strong.Hey gals, What would you think about Sarah Palin moving to Nevada and running for Reid’s seat. She’s neither old nor male and she’s (coming from the mostly male state of Alaska) good at handling the male dominated house.
Palin hasn’t been elected or even nominated for any office since she served her almost half-a-term as governor of America’s least populated state.
I am, however, pulling for her! If she runs for the Republican nomination for president she will definitely have my support in the Kansas caucus or primary (whichever the state holds!).
Stand strong Palin! 2012 will be here before you know it!
She can move wherever she wants and run for whatever office she chooses.
“Democrats — the party of old white men and the women”
That’s really funny because Linka links is an old white woman doing their bidding! Sorry Linda. Calls em like I sees em. And you are one throwing your age and personal stuff on more than one blog…
I think Palin will stay on the sidelines, she’s already pulled in 1.25 mil. off of the suckers, it’s more personally rewarding being on the sidelines.
American_Way, I am an old white woman. No one should ever think differently. Do you think that’s something to deride? I do no man’s bidding, no need to — the men I know all respect women of all ages.
Great idea, Palin in Nevada where the majority favor a public option. She can run on that!
I suspect you’re right, Phantom, but I hope not.
“I am an old white woman. No one should ever think differently”
So stop putting down other old white women!!!

You can see they did her forehead and cheeks. Wonder how much that cost the taxpayers?
And will we all get that treatment under PelosioCare?
Pelosi is a demagogue and a zealot. She’s dumber than Sarah Palin. The only reason why she has the Speaker position is because she puts the Democratic Party above anything else. The Democratic Party is the only thing that is important to her. She can care less about the American People. She is unapologetic and will spew rhetoric all day. Plus she is in one of the safest districts in the Country and that is the reason the Dem Party put her in the position and for her to shoot the arrows for the left, although she doesn’t know how to use a bow.
