House Passes Three Week Spending Bill
March 15, 2011 | 8 comments

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi took to the House floor moments ago to rip Republicans for discussing health care instead of jobs and for not debating the budget with an open process.
“The American people are desperate for jobs, they sent us here to work together to create jobs, and in the six weeks of this new majority not one piece of legislation has come forward to create one job,” Pelosi, rising in opposition to the GOP budget bill in general as well as the specific amendment to defund the implementation of the health care law, said. “Showing the lack of ideas to do so, the Republican majority has chosen instead to change the subject. To take up a bill of such consequence without hearings, without really an open process, to make amendments to it with the illusion of open debate.”

At last she has revealed her 2011 strategy: bitching.
Sparky| 2.18.11 @ 11:34AM
She was joking, right?
danny| 2.18.11 @ 2:13PM
if she was, the joke is on her. i'll give her this much, she's got a big pair to get up and complain about the repub's not being focused on creating jobs.
Kelly| 2.18.11 @ 11:42AM
Was it not the dems ploy for HC that jobs and HC go hand in hand??
Clint| 2.18.11 @ 11:42AM
Uh Oh !
Nancy Socialist wants to do for Jobs what she's done for Health Care.
DAVE B| 2.18.11 @ 11:44AM
WOW, isn't that a change. At least she was given a chance to speak. When she was in charge, she made sure the Republicans weren't even given an opportunity to say anythng.
Perhaps they should do the same to her.

I think it is amazing that this same woman who, while the head of the House, forced through the "HealthCare" bill with a lack of transparency and all sorts of backdoor cronyism all the time watching unemployment rising. And now, after it has been demonstrated that she wasted two years under Obama she is now decrying that the Republicans haven't addressed "jobs"? It is so sad that irony is totally wasted on Democrats.
ken weller| 2.18.11 @ 11:47AM
ms behind doors an ms arrogance complaining. now thats rediculous. chain up lady cause your in for a rough time
simon templar| 2.18.11 @ 11:48AM
Last year the title could have easily read, GOP Blasts Pelosi on Jobs, Decries Lack of Open Process in House. What is it with these politicians..they can not even come up with their own original rhetoric but reuse their enemies arguments.
Yeah, she is a champion of open processes. These people are really sickening and evil.
glenny| 2.18.11 @ 12:04PM
Hypocrisy, thy name is Pelosi ! glenny
BoomerTX| 2.18.11 @ 12:20PM
There are 2+ trillion dollars sitting in the wings waiting to start a flood of jobs once they see that all the harm Nancy and the Dems caused in the past 4 years can be reversed and a safe and stable business climate can be created. Libs haven't a clue how jobs are created and they prove it everytime they open their mouths.
MSG| 2.18.11 @ 12:40PM
The fact that they haven't passed a bill in six weeks; should be good for a couple of thousand jobs. Keep up the non work.

Excellent

I guess it is taking a little longer to reverse all of Piglosi bills that expected.
I guess she forgot that her Comrades Reid and B.Hussein O. are still championing her communist agenda

o.k. jo blo, i'll say it. shut the f up you communist cow. there, i said it and it feels really good!
Patriot| 2.18.11 @ 1:31PM
Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, please stuff a sock in it.
When you and your fellow liberal clowns took control of Congress in January, 2007 unemployment was 4.6% (ahh, the good old days). When we ousted you fools 4 years later in January, 2011 unemployment stood at about 10%.
You've got more nerve, girl.
Stephanie| 2.18.11 @ 1:51PM
Open process? WTF? Where was the "open process" during the takeover of our healthcare system? This woman must be drunk.
Uli Kunkel| 2.18.11 @ 2:08PM
The only reason Pelosi, a monumentally deluded, sorry excuse for intelligent thought has any sanction to speak, is a compliant press, that looks at things through a leftist soda straw...
melanerpes| 2.18.11 @ 2:50PM
To Nancy, a job isn't a job unless she approves it, unions negotiate it, and taxpayers pay the salary.
