House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) sat down with MSNBNC anchor Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday to discuss what appears to be a deal which is poised to end the government shutdown and raise the nation’s borrowing limit. She criticized the unfocused Republican members of Congress and praised Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) who she said had been “a master at work” during the shutdown.
“Have you ever seen anything quite like this, a battle over what most people felt was nothing — nothing relevant to the issues at hand?” Mitchell asked.
“I think that Republicans even forgot what they were shutting down government for,” Pelosi replied.
Pelosi said that the shutdowns of 1995-1996 were equally pointless and were centered on then Speaker Newt Gingrich’s desire to save face “because he didn’t like a seat he got on a plane.”
“I think part of it is they don’t want our president to have the successes our country needs,” she added in an effort to explain the thinking of her Republican colleagues.
She commended Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) for bringing the bill which would end the crisis expected to pass in the Senate up for a clean vote in the House.
“I never saw anything like what Harry Reid did,” Pelosi added. “To watch him was to watch a master at work. He was superb — intellectually, politically astute. And just the sheer stamina of it all.”
This excommunicated Catholic is despicable.
You forgot the barf alert warning.
We were once again sold down the river.
Yeah, saying “No” and stomping your feet is a real act of genius.
Jack-’O-Lantern Face to Pizza Face: “Marxism is wonderful!”
I can’t wait for the day we can hunt them legally.
We have no power and no control, yet we are still blamed for the country NOT having success.
It’s unbelievable.
She’s right. Our guys McConnell and Boner, were masters at NOTHING
Apparently, she doesn't believe there really is a HELL.
(Note to SanFranNan: Just because you don't think hell exists, doesn't mean you aren't going there.)
A Sith Master.
She went into his office and caught him by surprise. Upon leaving Reid’s office she approached someone in the press who thought what she said was that she found Senator Reid to be a master debater.
master of stupidity and surrendering. If anyone remembers how he stated that “we should surrender, the surge failed” regarding the surge of 2006 in Iraq.
It is damnable and totally irresponsible to incur the amount of debt that Obama has been allowed to rack up. The party’s about over; the day of reckoning is coming soon.
keyboard spew alert
Harry Reid is not a Master. He was dealing with a total moron.
“Yeah, saying “No” and stomping your feet is a real act of genius.”
Works better than the GOP move of grabbing your ankles.
Heheh, it's a no brainer in a face off with Republicans.
