When all is said and done, I think Nancy will deserve more of the credit

[hlthe2b]

for getting this done--than even President Obama.... What do you think?

[Oceansaway]

1. i agree...n/t

[lxlxlxl]

2. agree...the process is much harder than it seems

i am pretty sure obama has sincerely given her credit, and the people that know ultimately understand what her contribution is.

[MUAD_DIB]

3. Well, she is part of the legislative branch.

It is her and Harry's job to get it through, and I am glad that they have.

More credit? Perhaps.

Obama would sure have gotten more of the blame had it not gone through, but it still has to be passed.

[malaise]

4. Nancy is one tough cookie

Go Nancy! She acknowledges Ted Kennedy!

[southernyankeebelle]

5. Its just like a woman to take charge. She deserves the credit. I think

when this is done and passed it will help the democrats in the end.

[nebenaube]

6. yep..

impeachment is off the table, Pelosi has to go.

[Pirate Smile]

7. I'd say they both deserve it.

[Lifelong Protester]

8. I'm giving her a lot of credit for knowing the ins and outs

as only a longtime member of the legislative branch can

10. WTF? No one is saying Obama does not deserve credit...

YOU ARE WAY OFF BASE. (and I find it personally insulting, given this was my OP!) You have NO basis--NONE-- for EVER suggesting I am (as you say an "imbecile Obama Hater). You need to get a grip.

11. I didn't see Pelosi on every show on TV and make two major Presidential addresses to Congress.

But I would imagine that most people who still supported Hillary in June of '08 will give Pelosi the credit.

[hlthe2b]

12. Why are you doing this? Why can you not give credit to

Pelosi's incredible task of "whipping" the votes. She personally took it upon herself to do so with 68 no or undecided Congressional Reps. That takes nothing away from Obama, but are you really so misogynistic that you can't give her some credit? This has NOTHING to do with the primaries or Hillary. It is about fairness in recognizing her contributions.

[Radical Activist]

13. Why can't you give Obama any credit?

You're the one saying that one person deserves more of the credit. I think that's very unfair after the effort Obama made. Not to mention that Pelosi's poor track record before Obama became President suggests that she isn't the reason things changed.

[hlthe2b]

15. Saying she got us over the line in the House is hardly "giving Obama

no credit." You know damned well that what you said of me is grossly UNTRUE and UNFAIR. Your disingenuous attitude is actually deceitful. You should be ashamed for trying so hard to incite such dissent among those who are your political allies. Despicable.

14. +1000

Yep. It was never a foregone conclusion the House would go along with this. Especially after they passed their fairly good bill and then wound up having to vote for the odious Senate bill. The President wouldn't have gotten it without her. And we can hope he'll remember this the next time the progressive caucus needs a little support. Cause this was not the bill they wanted.

16. Nancy Pelosi is attacked almost daily by the far-Right hate hosts,

which is an excellent gauge of her worth to the process.

On this very long effort she scored big.

Hats off to the Speaker of the House.

[Wizard777]

17. When we apply that credit to the debit for "Impeachment is off the table." She's STILL in the red.

[hlthe2b]

18. I haven't forgotten...

[Stinky The Clown]

22. I disagree

I think this was more important than that. I think this overcomes that.

Barely.

[Wizard777]

24. The potential is there. But we're not there yet.

We haven't saved as many lives as we allowed Bush to take. I propose a 10:1 redemption rate. They have to save 10 lives for every life Bush took. 1.5 million Iraqi's and over 4,000 American soldiers. 3,066 on 9/11 due to his refusal to act on the known hijackings. 1,500 in NOLA. That's 1,508,566 lives Bush took. 15,085,066 lives she has to save.

[DailyGrind51]

19. She only erred when she failed to cancel the August recess, but

Pelosi did more than either Obama or Reid to get it passed

[Rage Inc.]

20. True that!

K&R!

[Stinky The Clown]

21. And she did it quietly and in the face of strong criticism from her natural constituency .....

.... actual swoon-averse liberals, like me.

[tigereye]

23. yes, I do.
