Where is Nancy Pelosi?

[ThomWV]

The President should not be in the same room with John Boner unless Nancy Pelosi is there. The President has no business negotiating with the Republicans without the Democrats there as well and in fact the President has no business negotiating with the House Republicans at all, that job should be left to the House Democrats. If the President doesn't like Boner's ideas he can tell him so with a Veto.

1. Obama's not meeting with the Democrats. He's meeting with Republicans and not telling the Democrats

about the meetings. If that doesn't tell you something, it should.

3. Half the time he's meeting with Republicans and not even telling the Democrats about it.

what in hell does he think he's doing?

2. I thought the same thing when I saw the article

The President doesn't really seem to give a rats ass what the Democrats in the House think.

Even when they've tried to save him from himself.

5. In DC?

6. Could be he didn't want any witnesses

when he told BONER that he had his back and when he opened his shirt to reveal the big R underneath.

7. she doesn't golf

8. If her "in-flight services" bar tab is any indicator, I'd look for her to be chugging Maker's Mark

aboard Air Force one.

10. Nancy Pelosi and her staff have charged taxpayers $101,000 for “in-flight services”—including food and liquor—during trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. Charges reportedly include “Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey, and Corona beer.”

When I talk about making politics less glamorous, this is specifically one of the things I'm talking about. Why the hell should people doing the people's business be able to write off top-shelf booze on the taxpayer's dime?
