Obama: Pelosi Will Go Down As One of Greatest Speakers In Our History …Huh?

Barack Obama praised Nancy Pelosi last night as one of the greatest Speakers in our nation’s history.
Roll Call reported:

Obama welcomed the California Democrat at the gathering of 152 Democratic donors as “someone who’s going to go down as one of the greatest Speakers in our history,” according to a pool report. Pelosi was Speaker from 2007 through 2010.

“Not only were we able to get this economy going again … but under Nancy’s leadership we were able to achieve historic health care legislation that over the last 15, 20 years will end up benefiting millions of families across the country, [and] we were able to get ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ repealed,” Obama said, adding that Congress under Pelosi expanded investments in clean energy, infrastructure and education.

“We didn’t just rescue the economy, we put it on the strongest footing for the future,” he said.

Really?
When Speaker Pelosi took over Congress the national deficit was $162 billion. When she exited in January 2011 it was at $1.29 Trillion dollars. Barack Obama tripled the national deficit in his first year after the stimulus passed. The Pelosi-Obama regime nearly matched it his second year. This year the deficit will be even higher.

This chart was updated to reflect the recent news that the deficit this year will reach $1.65 trillion. (The Captain’s Comments)

Spending was up 84% under Pelosi-Obama.

The democrats doubled the unemployment rate from where it was when they took over Congress.

Then there’s this… The federal government accumulated more new debt– $3.22 trillion ($3,220,103,625,307.29)—during the tenure of the Pelosi 111th Congress than it did during the first 100 Congresses combined.

And, don’t forget that she rammed through Obama’s nationalized (except for Maine) healthcare bill on a straight party-line vote.

So it only makes sense that Obama believes that Pelosi is one of the greatest Speakers of all time.
Obviously, American voters disagreed with Obama back in November.

Of course the Leftist-in-Chief would praise the leftist ex-speaker as a fellow traveler.

The problem for Obama in regard to this praise is that people are able to see through its total malarky. Hopefully in sufficient numbers to insure an early retirement for The One.

“that over the last 15, 20 years will end up benefiting millions ”

Shouldn’t that be “over the NEXT 15,20 years?”

Unless he’s referring to the Apocolypse.

“We didn’t just rescue the economy, we put it on the strongest footing for the future,”

Really?

So I guess that means that things are better now than they have been in the last 10 years?

“someone who’s going to go down as one of the greatest Speakers in our history,” according.” maybe if the obama-fites have control over just which info goes into that history. when you have millions starving such as they are in north korea it defies reality to refer to the lil’ chia dictator as great…..maybe if you have a seat at the buffette but if you’re out fighting you neighbors for a blade of grass – not so much.

You misunderstand. Obama is talking about our FUTURE history. You know, the one in his dreams (which he shares with Michael Moore and others) where the Workers of The World UNITE and throw off the horrible yoke of capitalism that has made this nation such a horrendous place to live and denied opportunity to so very many. Nancy Pelosi will indeed go down in that history as the Speaker who did the most to help accomplish that revolution, that coup de’etat, as rapidly as possible.

Of course IWonWTF tends to forget that there are an awful lot of us who do not share his vision . . . . .

She will be remembered for one quote: “WE HAVE TO PASS THE BILL SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT’S IN IT.” This pretty much sums up the tired old Politburoesque liberal establishment who once fancied themselves the antidisestablishmentarians. She has been and will continue to be a national embarrassment.

Mark1957 commented:

Oh yeah, no one speaks like Pelosi;

Every week we don’t pass a Stimulus package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs.”

“I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels. It’s cheap, abundant and clean compared to fossil fuels.”

“We have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as “Americans.”

“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.”

“They ask me all the time, ‘What is your favorite this? What is your favorite that? What is your favorite that?’ And one time, ‘What is your favorite word?’ And I said, ‘My favorite word? That is really easy. My favorite word is the Word, is the Word. And that is everything. It says it all for us. And you know the biblical reference, you know the Gospel reference of the Word.”

much like obama having to elect him to find out what a dud he is. we’d be going on just over 2 years of listening to just how great he is and how we made a mistake if mc cain was elected. he’d be pontificating on all the talk shows and he’s still be the 2nd coming of Christ.

Our current President is seriously deluded.

Is he unaware that ObamaCare is being repealed, as well as being declared unconstitutional?

Is he unaware that all her (and his) accomplishments (misdeeds) are being swept away?

Maybe he should spend more time on the golf course.

Best regards, Peter Warner.

Obama is still sucking up to Pelosi to ensure she doesn’t spill the corruption behind him being unconstitutionally elected President. I would imagine shutting Pelosi up would be a too high profile hit, even for Obama.

Two pathetic losers made for each other. When she gets her final reward they will bury Pelosi in an Obama shirt, just ask Obama.

Obama greatest single term so-called president of all time, Michelle greatest first lady/vegetable growing/rib eating bigot of all time, stretch Pelosi greatest speaker of all time, plugs Biden greatest single term vp of all time, the coward Holder greatest AG of all time, the creepy ballerina greatest chief of staff of all time … and now greatest mayor of a corrupt city of all time, her thighness greatest secretary of state of all time, Gibbs greatest WH propagandist of all time, Chrissy Mathews greatest tingle of all time….
