Former Speaker of the House and current Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told an audience of more than 600 college students last week that President Obama has signed many “expansions of freedom” into law since he took office in 2008.

Pelosi, speaking at a youth conference hosted by the George Soros funded Campus Progress, said the President’s work with health care best illustrates his agenda to increase civil liberties for American citizens.

“Central to all is the Affordable Care Act, which we think is about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” said Pelosi. “A healthier life, for liberty, to pursue your happiness.”

At the conference, Pelosi also argued that America’s founding fathers risked their lives to “create a democracy” where “the voice and the vote and the many determining the outcome of elections.”

Once again the Dems are using 1984 as an instruction manual:
Even the literature of the Party will change. Even the slogans will change. How could you have a slogan like "freedom is slavery" when the concept of freedom has been abolished?

Only God can "expand" freedom, Nancy. A president should only work to make sure his nation deserves freedom.

I think she meant to say “expansion of taxes”. 0bamacare alone expands all kinds of government power.

Freedom from Thought is the first requirement of being an Obama follower.

WTF?

Freedom is at full expansion at birth. It's only government which limits it from that point.

What an idiot Pelosi is! Why doesn't the media rip her for being such an a$$?

As I remarked in an earlier post, Nancy is really BIG on at least one Obama "expansion."

This is what she meant to say.

http://www.akdart.com/lib12.html

Pelosi: Obamacare Allows You to Quit Your Job and Become ‘Whatever’. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday [3/22/2012] that Obamacare facilitates the type of “liberation” that the “Founders had in mind” because it allows you to quit your job and become a “photographer,” a “writer,” a “musician” — or “whatever.” “As you hear from these stories, this is a liberation,” Pelosi said at a Capitol Hill news conference Thursday. “This is what our founders had in mind — ever expanding opportunity for people.”

Yeah, drop out and become a “whatever”. I don’t think she meant taxpayers though, just free-spirited Democrats.

Whatever.
