Who cares what that stupid old gasbag Pelosi thinks about anything...
Obabble is the King of condescension...if not for his stupidity Bibi could have stayed homePelosi, Democrats furious over Netanyahu 'condescension'
WASHINGTON — House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi politely stood and clapped when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu entered the House chamber for his long-awaited, and highly controversial, speech to Congress. The longer he spoke, the less enthusiastic she got.
At one point, when Netanyahu suggested his nation's relationship with the United States should be above politics, Pelosi looked at her lap and shook her head. When he declared that, "if Israel has to stand alone, Israel will stand," Pelosi threw her hands up in exasperation. More than once, she turned to her deputy, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, and appeared to vent. And even before Netanyahu had begun his ascent up the center aisle toward the exit, Pelosi pivoted and headed out a different door and into the Democratic cloakroom.
"I was near tears throughout the prime minister's speech — saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States," she fumed in a statement afterward, adding that she didn't appreciate "the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation."
Pelosi's was the highest-profile sign that Netanyahu had inflamed his relationship with some congressional Democrats with his address to Congress, a 39-minute warning that Obama's negotiations on limiting Iran's nuclear capability would all but guarantee that Tehran gets nuclear weapons. Even as he spoke, the Obama administration pressed on with those talks, and the president dismissed Netanyahu's speech by noting that "foreign policy runs through the executive branch and the president, not through other channels."
More than four dozen Democrats skipped the speech altogether, offended by an array of developments before they even got to the policy substance of the speech itself.

"It was putting Netanyahu on an equal level with the president of the United States," said Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn. "And that was wrong."

But Cohen and 11 other House Democrats later expounded on their multiple frustrations with the speech, including the substance. His statement about Israel standing alone particularly chafed.
"I think that's delusional," said Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., who skipped the speech. "The notion somehow that he thinks that Israel can just bull through this on their own against the world ... Israelis don't believe that."
"What I heard today felt to me like an effort to stampede the United States into war once again," said Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., who also skipped the speech.
Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., said the speech was "straight out of the Dick Cheney playbook — fearmongering at its worst."
I think it is part sympathy for the victim and belief in the inherent good in man. Unfortunately these feelings are very misplaced when dealing with parties who shout, "Death to America!"The anti-Semitism coming from today's left is disgusting. What a bunch of vile pigs.

Red states simply re-hired Red Senators in 2014.He wasn't on the ballot in 2014.Yep and in 2014 also.The American people showed how much they like Obama in November 2012.Not really.I LOVE seeing the wedge between US and Israel getting larger and larger.
More like the wedge between the Failed Messiah (Obumble) and the American People.
No, but his policies were, and so were a great many members of his party, whose fortunes are tied, in part, to the public confidence in the standard bearer for the party.
Else, why would he have said that HE got a 'shellacking' after the 2010 mid-terms (he wasn't on the ballot in that one, either, eh)?
Oh, now you take him at his word.No but his policies were. His own words.He wasn't on the ballot in 2014.Yep and in 2014 also.The American people showed how much they like Obama in November 2012.Not really.I LOVE seeing the wedge between US and Israel getting larger and larger.

Well he was full of shit then too, I mean his policies were awful and he thought they were good. So thanks Obama.Oh, now you take him at his word.No but his policies were.

Nancy showed the other day where her loyalty lies. Not with the country or her constituants but to the party. She's worried about the poorer members of Congress living from paycheck to paycheck.I'm starting a fund to let Turkey Neck Nan get that neck smoothed out.Pelosi is a freaking joke.
She really is.
Her hysteria and stupidity is beyond words!
Pathetic!
It's almost unbelievable.....she has no manners no courtesy no politeness ...no nothing!
What a bitch!

So you think you’ve got it bad? Try being in Congress. Those poor bastards are practically homeless.
You may not know, or care, that the deadline for continued funding of the Department of Homeland Security is tomorrow. But if something isn’t done immediately, if those miserable Republicans don’t stop being evil, small children and wheelchair-bound grandmothers at airports will be forced to humiliate themselves.
Nancy Pelosi to the rescue:
Hell, Pelosi is so down on her luck these days, she had to burn the Constitution just to keep warm. Also, because she hates it.

I'd say it just got smaller, if not disappeared entirely - except for the Obamans, but we all know they're just a bunch of foreign policy airheads, and their words are drivel. The notion of referring a bunch of nutjob Obamans as "the US' is one of the most preposterous things I've ever heard.I LOVE seeing the wedge between US and Israel getting larger and larger.
