"Pelosi strongly defended the Democratic proposals in Obama’s compromise"

[Still a Democrat]

As she did in a written statement earlier Tuesday, Pelosi strongly defended the Democratic proposals in Obama’s compromise and denounced the GOP-favored provisions, principally a temporary extension of tax cuts for high earners.

“On the Democratic side, you have stimulus, you have job creation, you have growth for the economy,” Pelosi said. “On the Republican side, you have no creation of jobs and an increase in the deficit. So we have some unease with the proposal.”

To show Pelosi's reaction more fully than the misleading headline and story would have you believe.

1. Pelosi is saying what the president should be saying.

[Schema Thing]

5. lol. The above from her is exactly the substance of what he said.

[geckosfeet]

17. Yea. Except for one small detail - he proposed it - she opposes it.

[phleshdef]

7. He said exactly that today.

Pay attention.

2. Pelosi for President. nt

[FiveGoodMen]

3. She's the one who preemptively declared that Bush would not be investigated/impeached

I wouldn't get carried away with admiration for her just because most of the others are worse.

[bemildred]

4. I know who she is. Who are you? nt

[FiveGoodMen]

6. Was there a point there?

[bemildred]

8. If you don't know, I sure don't. nt

[tavalon]

10. That's fairly clear

Learn better debating techniques, please.

[bemildred]

11. What "debate"? I see no debate.

I see name calling and innuendos, but nothing resembling an argument.

[FiveGoodMen]

20. Name calling? Really?

What part of this is name calling?

"She's the one who preemptively declared that Bush would not be investigated/impeached

I wouldn't get carried away with admiration for her just because most of the others are worse."

For that matter, what part is innuendo?

[tavalon]

9. Wow, did you learn that one on the schoolyard playground?

I'm rubber and you're glue. Etc.

[bemildred]

12. I dunno, what's it like on the playground these days?

Do they still say stuff like that where you play?

[tavalon]

13. Okay, so are you having a bad day (reasonable)

or are you like this all the time? Because, really, you've handed out a litany of content free posts here. Sound and fury, signifying nothing.

[bemildred]

14. I didn't start with the insults.

I said Pelosi for President and the response was an insinuation that I was ignorant, as in "you disagree with me so you must be ignorant", and an insinuation that I must like her because "the others are worse". Both are incorrect. No questions were forthcoming so as to better understand my position. No "content" was forthcoming so that I might respond in kind. Just insults. You don't like it, don't dish it out.
:puke:

[tavalon]

16. Much better

I get the context now. It just seemed like you were being childish, and I'm not saying there hasn't been a bit of that, but I didn't really notice the first volley. Sorry, my bad.

I'm a bit pissy today. I think most of us are. This hasn't been a good day for our side.

I, for one, only like Democratic Socialists today. We only have one in evidence, so I'm feeling very marginalized.

[bemildred]

18. Not saying I'm having a good day either.

Ms Edwards left us, the Wikileaks fandango is about to drive me nuts, Obama, well let's not characterize it, but Obama ...
Let's forget it, in fact I already have. The other guys too.
:hi:

[tavalon]

19. Peace

:hi:

[FiveGoodMen]

21. So no one is allowed to disagree with you or it's insulting?

[bemildred]

15. Hiccup. nt

22. In addition to the estate tax provision, please axe the payroll tax holiday.

This will undermine and weaken Social Security making it easier to dismantle and privatize.
