Barney Frank retirement bad news for Nancy Pelosi
SFGate: Politics Blog ^ | 11/28/11 | Carla Marinucci, Chronicle Political Writer

Conventional wisdom in D.C. has it that House minority leader and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi will have a hard time staying in the leadership if Democrats do not retake the House next year. Veteran lawmaker Barney Frank’s retirement does not bode well for that prospect.

Nancy Pelosi didn’t get the part because she was too “butch”.

3. You can’t understand him because his mouth is permanently deformed!
He could suck a tennis ball through a garden hose!

Just a small correction: I live in New Bedford. It’s not blue collar anymore. It’s infested with moonbats and all the good jobs have left. Now it’s mostly a bastion of welfare, govt-gimme girls, illegal aliens, Portuguese green carders and derelicts. By the way most fishermen don’t live in N.B. anymore. They moved to the suburbs.

Odd that Frank and Weiner are going at almost the same time.

Pat Caudell et al., may be right. Obama stinks so bad, other Dems will realize the odor is rubbing off on them and they’ll throw him off the plane. Not an entirely remote possibility.

Demmies have a minor league problem. Lots of grey hairs and no young replacements. Most of the blue dogs got whacked in 2010.

My theory is Barry doesn’t want a 2nd term. I would say even as early as his first year he wanted to quit. Reality slammed him in the face how incredibly tough and complex the job is and he realized he was in way way way over his head. Sort of like making my Grandmother who hasn’t a clue about computers CEO of Apple which is why we keep getting these bizarre plans and ideas from Barry. The guy has no idea what the hell he is doing. And from that point forth he just hasn’t given a damn. His whole mindset has been “I can’t do what I want because of Congress and I can’t quit, so nyaaah ....I’ll do my time, play golf and retire getting my butt kissed for the rest of my life.” I would not be surprised in the least if he does an LBJ and the Immaculation of Hitlery begins. Yes there goes the neighborhood, the Clintoons return.

Obama is merely just a pawn for his enablers who extend all the way up to international bankers. When we got duped that European governments were our soul buddies we started down the path of national suicide. Just check and see where so much of all the bailout money went.
