She would have been an improvement over Biden, without a doubt.

BIDEN

"FACT CHECK: Data belie Biden stimulus anecdotes"

"Capturing the full effect of the stimulus at this early stage is difficult, but the administration has set high bars for success. In championing those successes, however, the White House plays a little loose with the facts."

PELOSI

"Panetta to CIA employees: We told Pelosi the truth"

"CIA Director Leon Panetta just sent a stern message to his employees defending the agency against Speaker Nancy Pelosi's criticisms.

His message: We didn't mislead Congress; stay focused on your job."

The problem with the political forum is that when there is a very important issue to discuss we quickly regress into tossing barbs at each other and slip away from the topic of the thread. No matter which side of the political bedpost you hang your robe, if you saw Pelosi in action yesterday you had to feel troubled. The 3rd highest ranking member of our political system essentially has:

a) been caught lying

b) projected blame onto the entire CIA and called them liars.

c) changed her story at least 3 times in a feeble attempt to cover her lies

d) held a press conference, totally unprepared, mixed up her notes and embarrassed herself in front of the world to the degreee that you had to pity her

It doesn't matter where you stand politically.... the entire world is watching this fiasco.... what must they be thinking? That was the purpose of the original post. President Obama now has to decide how to deal with this issue and with The Speaker. I was hoping there would be some discussion on what people thought about how this mess would unfold. Remember, the whole thing started because Pelosi (and others) wanted to boil in oil those responsible for waterboarding and other interrogation techniques that she claimed (wrongly) she did not know were occuring. It is 100% certain by the info presented to date that she knew waterboarding was occurring by Jan 03 at the latest and Sept 02 very likely yet she never raised an iota of protest, challenge or alarm then. Now, she thought she'd make political hay out of this issue in 2009 and it has turned around and bitten her right in the behind.

So what is going to happen? I fear that the House and possibly Senate will continue with their "Truth Commissions" with the sole intent of keeping the Bush administration in the news as Obama's strawman and smearing them whenever possible. Since the Dems will have absolute control of subpoenas and hearings, there will be no investigation of the Dem side of the house. And of course, only Fox News and a few papers like the WSJ will object.

But we elected 'em.

Hopefully, Pelosi will continue to open her mouth in public. Anytime she does, she reveals more and more of herself to America and what kind of person she really is. Like someone else said, she is 3rd in line to run this country and that is beyond scary.

Unless a real smoking gun comes out the woman will

be in office for way too many more years.
The above commentary is correct, every time she opens her mouth she puts her foot/leg/etc in....like before she became Speaker she was being interviewed out in CA and was asked how she came to a conclusion on an issue....she said it was easy if the Republicans were involved or for it she was against it...as she was called on FOX today...a petty partisan politician of the worst kind. Her own party doesn't like her....maybe they will help derail her train, however, I wouldn't hold my breath...the woman is a disgrace to the American Way.
