Nancy Pelosi stops Colombian trade bill!

[dkf]

Way to go Nancy! No thanks to Bill and Mark Penn!

President Bush said yesterday that a trade agreement with Colombia is "dead" unless House Democrats agree to hold a vote on the pact, effectively admitting defeat on a White House priority.

After meeting with his Cabinet, Bush lashed out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for putting off a vote on the free-trade pact, which the administration views as important for U.S. national security and the economy. "This free-trade agreement is in our national interests," Bush said. "Yet that bill is dead unless the speaker schedules a definite vote."

Pelosi fired back by accusing Bush of being "out of touch" with the "concerns of America's working families." She said the House will take no action on the Colombia pact until it considers other legislation aimed at aiding the U.S. economy.
