Pelosi is just a hypocrit and a moron. She pushed so hard for this absolute piece of garbage healthcare bill and her district has now walked away with something like 20% of all the exemptions FROM it.

Pelosi just sucks. Pelosi just sucks. Pelosi just sucks....That sounds catchy to me...

Isnt her job to distrupt gop just like gop distrupt her when she was house speaker? Thats whats wrong in Washington today its all about srewing the other party and to hell with the AMERICAN people.If they would even try to work together they might get something done.Mitch said in Senate first day Obama took office was to not get nothing passed so Obama will be a one term president,now does that sound like hes going to help the people of U.S.no his prioridies his to his party not to the people.
