The exciting conclusion to the great student-loan interest-rate debate. Remember, Romney sided with Obama on extending the current lower rate a few days ago so the questions for House Republicans were (a) whether they’d go along and (b) if so, how they’d pay for it. The solution: Extend the rate and offset the $6 billion cost by cutting a similar amount from the new Prevention and Public Health Fund in ObamaCare instead. No way were the Democrats going to let the GOP get away that easily, though, so here was Pelosi this morning demagoging the issue in the shrillest, most electorally advantageous way possible:
“Their priority is to protect the subsidies for Big Oil,” said Pelosi at a Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday. “Our priority is to prevent breast cancer, cervical cancer, to immunize our children, so that they are healthy.”
Pelosi also charged that Republicans view Obamacare as a slush fund for the administration. “It may be a slush fund to him [House Speaker Boehner], but it’s survival to women,” she said. “It’s survival to women. And that just goes to show you what a luxury he thinks it is to have good health for women. We do not agree.”

I’ll bet the Dems are realllly shaking in their boots.
I’ll take “Spineless Men” for $200 Alex.
Did he cry?
Gee Boner, where were you two months ago on this?
I was surprised he did mentin that the dems voted to have this tax cut expire this year... but I think he could of said more about that.Obama did not even bother to vote in 2007 for this lower interest rate.. and they could of had it go on forever I guess, instead of having it expire this year, the idea that Hillary would probably be presidentor another democrat, and it would be a good political foot ball in the 2012 election cycle, which exactly what is happening,
Nancy Pelosi is beneath the dignity of the House.
Plus she is a lying conniving sack of crap.
Mud is all the ‘RATS have.
LOL! You guys are hilarious! I’m laughing out loud literally now.
Go ahead Boner — threaten those Dems that you will drown them in your tears.
Boner needs to get even.
Laugh at donks, never tell them anything. They know everything anyways
Courage, John, courage! /s
Bingo! Exactly how I treat my left-leaning friends and relatives.
Did he have to wipe away his tears of rage?
Wait a minute..there has been a war on women? How come nobody told me or called me to arms?
Boehner must have had to go take a whiz er something, otherwise he’d still be holed up in his office with the mother of all muzzles on.
I’d bet 90/10 he uses the women’s restroom too.
I'm afraid there's no denyin'
I'm just a dandy-lion
A fate I don't deserve
I'm sure I could show my prowess
Be a lion, not a mouse
If I only had the nerve
...pathetic and feckless
