Pelosi Says Democrats Haven’t Gotten Credit For All They’ve Done. LMAO
The Obama-Pelosi-Reid Regime tripled the national deficit in one year.
(The Captain’s Comments)
They doubled the unemployment rate from where it was when they took over Congress.
(Source: US Misery Index)
They passed a failed Trillion dollar Stimulus bill. In fact, 48 of 50 states have lost jobs since the so-called stimulus passed.
They rammed through the most radical piece of legislation in US history… Without even reading it.
Today Speaker Pelosi whined that democrats have not gotten credit for what they’ve achieved.
The Hill reported:
Democrats haven’t necessarily gotten the credit they’re
due for the work they’ve done the last two years, House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) said.Pelosi, in the middle of a tough campaign to defend Democrats’
majority in the House — as well as her own Speakership — seemed to echo a
complaint voiced by other Democrats, that obstacles have made it
difficult for the party’s message to get through.“You have all those forces at work, pouring millions of millions of
dollars into the media, and now into the campaigns to mischaracterize
everything that we did,” Pelosi said in an interview with Politics
Daily, video of which was posted Monday. “So that’s that. It’s up to us
to go out there. I’m very confident; our members know why they voted for
what they did.“But you’re right, we haven’t really gotten the credit for what we
have done, but we will take it to the voters and have a Democratic
majority to follow through on it,” the Speaker added.
She’s right.
They should have been ran out of town with pitchforks.
Knowing that reality is a stranger to Pelosi, I can assure her that
Democrats are getting ‘credit’ for what they have done and our
appreciation will be apparent in a week and a day.

Harry Reid would have been hung along with Palosi.
There has to be criminal elements to what the progressives have done,and in spite of or because
the O'Bummer picking a fight with the Supreme Court,why haven't they stepped up and decided on the legality of health reform ?
Bachmann/Malkin '12 !
Where are your 2nd Amendment Rights tonight ?
Does California still think it has some ?
Never forget that it doesn't matter how bad life seems for you, there is always someone who has it worse. He is usually referred to as Mr. Pelosi.

all about pelosi!!
As such, there is a need to set the record straight. What most impresses me is the fact that Obama has accomplished so much not from a heavy-handed or top-down approach but from a style that has institutionalized efforts to reach across the aisle, encourage vigorous debate, and utilize town halls and panels of experts in the policy-making process. Beyond the accomplishments, the process is good for democracy and our democratic processes have been battered and bruised in recent years.
Let me know if I missed anything in the list (surely I did).

Tax cuts for the rich do not create jobs or we wouldn't be where we are today, would we? How many jobs have the rich created since President Obama took office?
I'm waiting...
The stock market should be able to look ahaed, and go up..instead of down. Businesses should be able to look toward new hiring. What could hold everything back is Mr. Veto in the Whitehouse
The rich have been sitting on the sidelines..waiting to see what the Democrats and Obama are upto. As we can all see they've been holding on to their cash, and creating nothing. That's why they are rich..there careful with their money.
Also if you call being carefull..being deceptive..you would be correct and the hilarious thing......is President Obama promised the whole world and couldn't deliver...i am sorry a perfect society is neither socialistic or capitalist . Its accepting...
Money is the only thing the leftist are carefull with. Obama doesn't give really a dam about anyone.
