Here's Pelosi exposing her true colors:

She's not worried about the 9% approval rating. She's not worried about the abject failure of this Congress to accomplish anything.

She's concerned solely about the partisan angle - screw the Country and the People, what's best for my party?

Well, if you go back say 80 years and look at something like job growth, you'll notice that the highest job growth occurred during the administrations of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter and Clinton.
And the lowest job growth occurred during the administrations of Hoover, Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush and baby Bush.

Coincidence?

Three houses must agree to pass any bill and the president has the only veto power. Pelosi has an impossible task to try to get agreement from any conservative at this time. Democrats have only one more member than the conservatives. And they all balk at any bill that might look good coming from the opposition.

Two chambers must agree to pass a bill.

Pelosi has a solid majority in the house. It's not just one seat.

And the Congress can over-ride a veto.

You refuse to accept the fact, both parties now refuse to allow any bill to pass without their own stamp upon it. And the President Has vetoed every bill but those submitted by the Republicans. Regardless of how good the bill may be. Don't be so short sighted. They are all lawyers and believe they are right.

Nice Slant, Pelosi sucks because she couldn't undo all the damage the Republicans did in 18 months, so everyone should vote Republican.

She couldn't lower the oil prices that the GOP has caused to rise, she couldn't stop the wars that the GOP started to boost their poll numbers, she could pay off the trillions in debt that the GOP has added with their hairbrain economic and fiscal policies, and she's had 18 months.

On the other hand the GOP congress couldn't stop Clinton from balancing the budget and creating 22 million new jobs. So it just shows how difficult it is for congress to overcome a president's agenda.

I never said any such thing.

She's made no meaningful effort to stop the war.

On one hand, everybody agrees it's a do-nothing Congress or a "Keep-Writing-Blank-Checks for Bush" Congress.

But why can't anyone admit what's really going on in the country is that part of the problem is that Bush claimed he was the big uniter, but rules like a dictator and is unbending about every single stance he has? Reagan and the Democrats worked together, and for the most part, Clinton and the Republicans did even better. But when it was all Republican for a few years there, we had the biggest spending increases in history, and it seems to have continued.

I don't much care for Pelosi and Reid, I think they're weak, but I also think that the average American out there realizes that it will take a new President for things to get done and that the 14% approval rating has everything to do with the fact that they didn't have the votes necessary to end the war.

Come November, no one is going to oust the Dems from Congress; they'll likely gain even more seats, which will baffle everyone on this thread because it seems unanimous here that the low approval rating is a reflection of Democrats only, which it isn't.

As opposed to the stale uninteresting feces presently in our government .

Only because she's Pelosi. If she were willing to negotiate as opposed to her brand of my way or nothing asshattery then perhaps the House could do what its been able to do for hundreds of years before her.

She and Reid will not...UNLESS there’s big fat juicy earmarks attached ala their approval over their signature issue , the war.......take your time, parse that for a few minutes.

I am 55 years old. I really don't remember this pit-bull--"hang on to your partisan political B.S." quite so strong as I have seen in recent years.

Congress & the senate are in complete stalemates. Even Reagan against a democrat house & senate was able to get things done. Clinton did too.

This congress is complete B.S.
