Obama really needs to reign her in.

Whenever I hear her speak it makes me realize how lucky we are to have Obama as President. Just keep in mind that biden is #2 in line and she is #3! Now that is scary!

She does really need to lay off the Botox. She looks more and more "surprised" each time I see her.

She has an interesting way of answering questions she doesn't like. She simply repeats the same answer louder and more aggressively no matter how obviously false her answer is. I guess that flies in SF.

She's right though. The Democrats tried to pass an amendment just one month ago to block all bonus in companies which got bailouts but the Republican leadership, the very same Republicans who are now pretending to cry crocodile tears about these bonuses, blocked it claiming it was socialism to try to tell companies what to do. Well, Mitch McConnell, you two faced bastard, we do own 80%+ of AIG and it was a Republican President who did that.

The AIG loophole that came out of the confrence was in the final bill. She was there. End of story.

She is beginning to look and think and act like Leona Helmsley. Or maybe even more like Norma Desmond from "Sunset Boulevard". This has got to be the most incompetent and downright bizarre adminstration and congress we've had in 40 years. I guess we'll wait to see how this ends, but its going to be one great disaster/human tragedy story.

And... yeah.... get this....

It was a Democrat Congress which passed that bill. Just the way they wanted it.

I think it will be a chance for the young people who came out in record numbers to support BHO to learn how our system works; Bribes, lies, distortions, misrepresentations, broken promises, fraud, persecution, slander, ect.

Actually, the AIG issue came from not bailing out Lehman brothers.... a move the Sec of Treasury regrets... all done under Bush.
With the realization of what failing to act on Leehmans account did the government is now in a position of funding this poorly managed company or watching the economy crash and burn... doesn't really matte if it dates to the republicans or not as it is an issue with us today. while Pelosi is correct, I don't find i dignified for her to take the opportunity to point fingers.
