House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called President Bush "a total failure" on Thursday, among the California Democrat's harshest assessments to date of the president.
"God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States -- a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject," Pelosi told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in an exclusive interview.
The comments came two days after the president sharply criticized Congress over what he described as relative inaction over the course of the legislative term. At the White House on Wednesday, Bush noted that there were only 26 legislative days left in the fiscal year and said Congress would need to pass a spending bill every other day to "get their fundamental job done."
"This is not a record to be proud of, and I think the American people deserve better," Bush said.
In the interview, Pelosi said the president was in no position to criticize Congress and brushed aside the criticisms as "something to talk about because he has no ideas."
"For him to be challenging Congress when we are trying to sweep up after his mess over and over and over again -- at the end of the day, Congress will have passed its responsibility to pass legislation," she said. iReport.com: Why isn't impeachment on the table?
But Pelosi's comments come as a new Gallup poll registers the lowest level of congressional approval among Americans in the polling organization's 30-year history of conducting that survey.
[snip] "Thirty-three million acres offshore are allowed for leasing," she said. "And we're saying to them, use it or lose it. You have the opportunity to drill there. When you have exhausted those remedies, then you can talk about something else."

If Ms. 9% herself has managed to accomplish anything, that would be raising the bar very, very high for the next female House Speaker.
Nance engaging in 'projection' again?
One is reminded of the criticisms that followed Abraham Lincoln all the years of his term as President.
Everybody recalls President Lincoln. His critics are, at best, footnotes in history, and most of them were swiftly forgotten.
For all Queen Bee Nanacy’s “accomplishments”, she, too, shall be a footnote in history. With an asterisk by her name.
But being able to etch glass with her urine, that would be pretty good.
Nancy, you are not a fool, you are a damned fool.
Whenever I see her on TV, I keep waiting for her eyes to start rolling around in opposite directions … ding bat. ;-)
She, being so familiar with total failure, has deluded herself into thinking she can wish it on others.
It is what's become of the once-great Democrat Party.
Once there was respect and dignity on both sides of the aisle.
Now, the Democrats have degenerated into spite-filled blames, Stalinist accusations, and hysterical name-calling.
This, my dear FRiends, is just how Democrats will govern, should they get the POTUS and both Houses of Congress.
Oh, I agree. Impeachment should be on the table, but it should be Nancy and most of the RATS who are getting impeached. They're guilty of treason, and should be hanged. She's the biggest airhead in congress. What really scares me is that she's third in line for President if something happened to Bush and Cheney. Even the thought of Obama and Pelosi with the RATS in total control makes me think we're going to have a revolution. Americans have been pushed to the breaking point with this corrupt government.
For the truckers and the business owners, consumers who you San Fran Nan spit on by denying oil.....I say to you Pox on your vineyards....pox on your hotel ownings...pox on your finances for the bondage and trouble you have brought to the citizens of this nation. Grapes of wrath for you Nan for your vicious petty words and sneaky stabbing of the back of the president and of ALL decent hard working productive americans. May you not prosper and indeed produce a harvest of the bitterness you have sown.
Lol! I do believe she is worse than the Clintons and Daschle put together. She has a stranle hold on us and wont turn lose till we are all dead.
What I would like to see is every Republican who is running for Congress, whether they be an incumbant or a challenger, promise to vote to allow offshore drilling and KEEP that promise. I doubt Madam Speaker would be speaker any longer if that happened.
This Liberal congress, led by San Francisco Pelosi, is the worst ever. Give them 2 years and they’ll wreck a country. They also lied there way into power. They promised to end the war in Iraq, reduce the price of gas, and end corrurption. The War in Iraq rages on, the price of gas has more than doubled, andcorruption is worse than ever. Shocker, not one spineless RINO would bring this up.
For 8 years GWB never fought back against this slander. He just keeps the kick me sign on his back.
Just how on earth does she expect the US to survive for 15 years while she makes up her mind if we should even be allowed to exist. We did not vote for her. Those idiots in here home state did. I think she must be getting very rich off our misery.
Ah, bless her little heart, Nancy tries to be a good Catholic grammy, trying to lead a party which favors abortion, and everything gay and perverse, and she’s a national politician who is ultimately dependent on the choice of an electoral district which contains a majority of weird folks who hate this country; and Nancy married well so she is rich as hell, but wants to be seen as the leader of the poor peoples’ party. She’s almost as old as the opposition party’s candidate for president, but she looks way older, as if she might be dying her hair, botoxing her wrinkles, and blow-drying her soul. In several years at the helm she hasn’t accomplished baboon-scat and can see that she never will. She and Reid, the emaciated, have led Congress to as low a rating as it has ever had, and probably as low as it will ever get, considering that a certain percentage of the population is clinically depressed at any given time. Too skinny to be a turkey, but with skinny arms and legs which rule out her being a snake, she’s at the top of her game, not snake, not turkey, but not respected. On the other hand, she apparently is not queer, lesbian or something else non-heterosexual, so she can’t just give it up and go back where she came from, she’s too ugly for Hollywood, too stupid for the networks, her husband certainly is content with her where she is— she’s out of the house, but easy to keep an eye on since she is a prominent public figurine, and meanwhile he can do whatever he wants to there in San Francisco, which certainly can provide amply for the wants and needs of a lot of strange men.
A half-century from now, Bush will be favorably recalled; but Nancy Pelosi will be remembered as the first woman to hold a really significant elected position in the greatest country in the world who couldn’t accomplish anything worthwhile.
Thank you for a perfect description of Pelosi who suffers from inner ugliness. My wish for her is that all that she gives out is returned to her twofold.
I’ve often argued that America is more than ready for a female president, but then Pelosi comes along a makes a good argument for taking away women’s right to vote. It’s not always cream that rises to the top. In her case, she is the stuff floating around in the bowl before the flush.
Gephartdt called Bush a miserable failure in 2004 and look where he is today.
Speaking of "hoaxes", San Fran Nan has had so much plastique that when she blinks her boobs jiggle...
So what does that make the Speaker, given that congressional approval ratings are around a third of Bush's?
She's about as dumb as Babs Boxer.
Who? ;-)
This could be the witch of the west herself that she described. What a dismal failure Ms. Pelousy has been in representing the leftie Democrats.
Name one thing, Nancy, that you are doing to lower gas prices or create energy independence. ??? Using 2.5 days worth of the SPR doesn't count because it won't do either.
There is no doubt she is subconsciously talking about herself when she uses the word failure. I have never seen such a do nothing congress in my life time.
Could someone please...PLEASE, do a Nexus-Lexus search or something similar to find ONE instance...just ONE...in which GWB spoke about his political opponents the way they regularly speak of him?
I'm thinking anyone involved in such a search would be quite frustrated.
On the contrary, GWB has, much to my chagrin, frequently PRAISED the likes of Ted Kennedy and (OMG) Donna Shalala among many others.
Nancy Pelosi can KMA.
Positively the worst ever...what a miserable woman.
compare nancy to
tip o’neill.
and, she’s a loser.
I had no idea during either previous GOP lead Congress’, or past RAT lead Congress’, that the Speaker of the House had such great authority as to be able to singlehandedly decide which potential legislation would be able to come to the House floor for a potential vote.
Stupid me, I had thought that this process was more “civilized”!, and Roberts Law based.
Has Pelosi brought the House to a new biased low???
listen stooopid... if he's such a loser, how come you RATS keep PASSING THE LEGISLATION???
This video seems to follow the same lines of thought:

“This, my dear FRiends, is just how Democrats will govern, should they get the POTUS and both Houses of Congress”
No, they’re not interested in governing. They will rule
(House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called President Bush “a total failure” on Thursday, )
Oh that is too funny.
A total piece of trash and a sad waste of oxygen and she calls someone else a failure..
OPnly in American Politics
Fig, you are completely correct.
Keep right on talking, Queen Nancy. She is projecting. She is in way over her head.
I sent her this e-mail:
“You are a disgrace to our country. To launch a personal attack on the President and claim to be speaking for “all the American people” is appalling. You are the one who promised that the Dems had an energy policy that would lower the gas prices and then promptly let them go up exponentially. It’s amazing the big jump came after you became speaker of the house. It’s time to get off your high horse and do what the American people really want. From everything I’ve read the American people want to drill for more gas, in new places, not the ones where the leases (which, incidentally, expire if the oil companies don’t develop them already and don’t need another bill put in place for this) have already been issued. If there were oil there, common sense tells you they would be drilling already. So, do your job, remove the moratorium and let them do their jobs.”
He is my friend, he has my respect, but he's a liar.
???????????
LOL! ‘It’ deserved every word.
