I've meant to say this for a while: I think Nancy Pelosi is doing a damned good job

[cali]

and her job ain't easy. I know Pelosi is none too popular here, but I think she deserves some credit. quite a bit of credit.

1. well

. . . what the Senate does with legislation gives us an appreciation for what the House produces. It's usually that way when our party is in control of the House.

2. She's Gotten Short Shrift...

Many here love to dump on the Speaker without a close look at the work she's been able to get through the House...much of it ending up stalled in a dysfuncational Senate. There's resentment that she didn't impeach (or try) since she knew she didn't have the votes and its clouded the many good things she's been able to get passed. I'm proud of the job she's done and join you in saying she's done a damn good job.

Cheers...

10. her stand on impeachment brought

about a lot of anger...I'm sure it still does. But Nancy is a good politician and her domestic agenda is more to my liking than say, Blanche Lincoln who is my state senator.

3. If she had a house whip who has backbone, she would have a lot more accomplishments and

an easier time of it. Hoyer is a bit like Reid.

21. I never thought of it like that before

and I'm surprised. Very true. Hoyer is lackluster and milque toast, just like Reid.

[Cetacea]

4. Agreed.

5. Ya know she has been on my *hit list form time to time but last night..

watching her I realized that she really has been working to keep her members in line. I have to give her kudos for that.

6. Thumbs up to that. KnR

:thumbsup:

7. when you have Reid and Obama being colossal cowards

it makes anyone with the hint of courage look like a great leader in contrast.

[CherokeeDem]

8. I Agree...

I think that under the circumstances that she has has to deal with she has done a very credible job if not in fact and excellent one. I was not a fan of hers for quite a while but I have gain respect for her. Now if we only had her in the Senate.

9. When you compare her to her counterpart in the Senate,

she wins hands down.

I got to meet her daughter Christine when she was promoting Boot Camp, and Christine is just a sharp as her mom.

11. Why do you think the right wing talk hosts, Fox News and the

bunch of used up tea bags are taking shots at her. They are upset cause she doing a hell of a job.

[madokie]

12. I've always liked her

It looks to me like she is a hard worker and the people who get to vote for her are getting their moneys worth.

[Fire1]

13. I'll give that a rec. Agree. n/t

[blondeatlast]

14. And with class. Agreed. nt

[GeorgeGist]

15. Do you know her Credit Score?

From what I've witnessed she hasn't asked for much.

[cali]
