Pelosi backing down?

Posted: Jan 21, 2010

Wonder why she's backing down now. Maybe she got a talking to from yoy-now-who. Pelosi says House cannot pass Senate's health-care bill without changes By Shailagh Murray and Paul Kane Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, January 21, 2010; 1:10 PM House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that the Senate will have to amend its version of a health-care reform bill before Democrats in her chamber would be willing to vote for it. Full Story and video here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/21/AR2010012101604.html?hpid=topnews;

That's the best news I've heard since Brown won Mass.... - Woohoo! - Start packing Nancy!

The house bill is very different from the senate bill. That's why nothing has passed yet. I'm glad she spoke out, but I must have missed something if she was backing the senate bill before. As far as I know, she has not supported it.

She is not backing down. - sm

I'll skip the attempt to portray Pelosi as a child being scolded "yoy-know-who."

No need to wonder. She is not backing down. She is exploring strategy options...big difference. She has an accurate read on the Senate bill and the reasons she gave are right on. Since she is smart enough not to alienate her party base, it is unlikely they will get broad enough changes applied to that version and the notion was dismissed for the most part by saying how time-consuming it would be and would not necessarily reverse party of no obstruction.

LOL "since she is smart enough not to alienate - her party base".. Well,

she has alienated just about everyone else with her approval rating in the 20s. Fine, maybe she should just keeping pushing ahead with what America does not want.. digging her own grave and that of the democrats.

That remains to be seen. Wishful thinking, nothing more. - nm

to say that it ain't over 'til its over. Polls and approval ratings have a way of turning on a dime.

Nancy Pelosi's days are over. It takes time, but Good always wins over evil.

On her way out? Check out her electorate record from CA - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
In her first race in 1987 (in a special election), she garnered a 2 to 1 majority vote over her republican opponent. In 1988 76%. In 1990 77%. In every election since that time she has received over 80% of the total votes. Does that sound like immediate jeopardy to you?

That confirms that the citizens of CA are all - smoking something! nm

For whatever reason, she's not going anywhere - anytime soon. nm

But she WILL be out as speaker....she's bringing down the entire House with her partisanship. - Anon

By doing her job to push legislation that represent majority interests? - Try again. sm

She brings a great deal of experience and talent to the podium. I am not crazy about Pelosi myself and would shed few tears should she be replaced, but there are no term limits on SOH. In fact, they can serve for life if their constituents elect them. Think Sam Rayburn.

Do not look for her to fade off into the sunset. She will remain a force to be reckoned well into the future as she has shown throughout her career regardless of any personality or political deficits you may think she has.

what majority? - dnh

pay attention to the facts, not your own opinion. this is not what the majority wants.

Hello. The MAJORITY PARTY. Speaking of facts, - Read the SOTH job description. nm

If Democrats in Congress fail to prevent across-the-board spending cuts (AKA ‘the sequester’) their own $174,000 salary gets trimmed too, and Rep.
