Pelosi Denies 'Disfavor List,' Blasts House GOP

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

Nancy Pelosi came out swinging against ugly rumors today.

The Internet was positively abuzz yesterday with reports that the House speaker has a mental "disfavor" list of those who have crossed her.

Well, according to The Huffington Post, Pelosi insists nothing could be further from the truth: "They’re saying I keep a list of members. It couldn’t be farther from the truth. My commitment is to all of my members. I don’t have any list."

Pelosi also took some time today to lash out at Republicans who griped that she ignored President Barack Obama’s wish and took it upon herself to rush the stimulus package through the House. "To tell you the truth, I could have fast tracked this much faster," said Pelosi. "We ‘fast tracked it over the president’s objections’? It couldn’t be farther from the truth."

Pelosi is a prime example of a woman who just doesn’t know her place. I’m so heartened to see that this site has a lot of women who haven’t been fooled into thinking that they are the equal of men.

No, it’s wonderful to see that there are still women who follow the teachings of Paul.

She knows her place! A woman’s place is in the House…and the Senate!

There is still time for you to repent and become more like Miss Morgan, Miss Deber, and their righteous thinking friends.

I believe that the house and senate members did President Obama a disservice by not adhering to his directive. They are essentially making him look foolish by their adding earmarks when he was clear he did not want to have any included. He stressed it to them repeatedly and emphatically, but because each one had their own selfish desires for their respective state, they ignored him and padded it with unnecessary spending. It is true Pelosi and the house members did adhere more closely to the desires of Pres. Obama than Harry Reid and the senate, but none the less the changes they made ran counter to what he wanted. I am all for research of termites in New Orleans or pig odor research in Iowa, but come on…this should not be included in this particular budget and especially not to the tune of $8 mil for one and $2 mil for another. I am disappointed with Pelosi and her actions as it relates to her control over the house and the stimulus plan. President Obama now sees going forward he is going to have to put some panels in place to oversea the house and senate’s actions when it comes to writing economic packages.

I agree with your thoughts Belinda, though I don’t agree with a lot of Pres Obama’s agenda, he better start at least putting forth his own budget to avoid all this pork. He said he wouldn’t do this and he’s allowing it. I realize he does not pass the budget, but you think he would speak out against this and he hasn’t.

Though I don’t think a panel is something he can really do. He is just one of the branches of government, and Congress is another that can do it’s own thing. But he IS the leader of his party and I’m not sure Nancy Pelosi believes that!

The light starts to shine.

Congress spends tax money not the president.

Which also explains why the cartoon about killing the monkey was about Pelosi.

Open Letter to President Obama:

I fault people who post on this site all the time for not doing their homework before they post on threads, and now I am guilty of that very thing.

You had stated during your campaign (if you won) said that you would limit earmarks to that of 1994 and no more, which was 7.8 billion. The current budget contains earmarks totalling 7.7 billion.

Joe Lieberman is getting $44 million in earmarks

South Carolina Republican Lindsay Graham is getting $41 million in earmarks

Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell $75 million in earmarks.

Republican Thad Cochran is getting $76 million.

Arizona’s John Kyl has $118 million in earmarks.

40% of the earmarks are Republican earmarks. Republicans account for $669 million earmarks in the current budget.

Republicans make up 3 of the top 5 earmarkers and 6 of the top 10.

My bad! :-)
