Pelosi Plans a Party to Celebrate Democratic ‘Accomplishments’

Outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi plans to host a celebration Wednesday afternoon to recognize “The accomplishments of the 111th Congress,” according to an invitation sent out Monday afternoon.

Pelosi’s planned event — which coincidentally coincides with her decision to run for Democrats’ House Minority Leader position for the upcoming 112th Congress — is reportedly meant to offering congressional Democrats an “opportunity to reflect on the party’s legislative victories over the past two years,” The Hill reports.
Some of the most significant “victories” Democrats will toast Wednesday include the passage of landmark health care overhaul legislation, financial regulatory reform, as well as climate and energy legislation. Yet each of these so-called “accomplishments” seemingly contributed to last week‘s wave of Democratic electoral losses as voters rejected the party’s lurch to the left.

The EGO on these “refuse to see the forest through the trees” is astounding…almost the size of our defecit that she helped get to 14 trillion. I would say that California should be ashamed of themselves, but these people know what they elected. More than happy to see the world go to hell as long as they get what they want out of it…all they might get is a smug sense of “I got my way” while they are paying 40 dollars for a loaf of bread. Infuriating.

He is a young man with a wife and children. He needs to take care of them first. He is moving on in his career, but I have lost a good doctor. I knew in my heart that this fine, capable doctor would be leaving the day that stinking Health Care Law robbed him of his practice. He had to do what he had to do. By the way, the only Health Care we have hear in CA is through Adventist Health…and I wonder how long they will be allowed to operate…the Liberal version of Jefferson’s wall of separation would disallow it under single payer.
