Nancy Pelosi The Most Effective Speaker of the House in History Alternet

We’re looking at an extraordinary set of accomplishments over a brief period of time,” said Norman Ornstein, resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. “She ranks with the most consequential speakers, certainly in the last 75 years.”
Pelosi faced a House so divided along party lines that she couldn’t count on a single Republican vote for legislation–which means that she had to wrangle fellow Democrats to demonstrate a discipline and unity they have not been famous for. Out of that unity emerged a record of public policy triumphs unmatched since the Great Society legislation of the 1960s, according to University of Oklahoma political science professor Cindy Simon Rosenthal. “And much of it is because of her,” says Rosenthal.

What will his legacy be?

Nancy Pelosi was such a wonderful speaker that she could push through legislation that the representatives had not read........but they had to pass it to find out what was in it.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Being honest.......I would have trouble staying calm if I were forced to contend with Pelosi's off-putting speaking style for more than a few minutes. And.....I am sure that I could have a blast mocking a drunk Boner for hours.

That said....she kicks his ass when it comes to effective leadership of The House. Not even debatable, really.

All legislation was read and refined

It is only Republicans who do not understand the reconcilliation process

Pelosi actually passed meaningful legislation into law. Boehner? still waiting

I think we all understand by now why there needs to be term limits. Both are pathetic examples of the worst aspects professional politicians bring to the table. To think their constituents are so gullible to reelect them in the first place.

 

[Staidhup]

According to Nancy she didn't read the legislation she was presented with, "that's why its so important to pass it so we can see whats inside!" The question I have is when was the last time a piece of bipartisan legislation was passed?

That's not in the OP. The OP is who is better, Nancy or John. My answer is neither.
