Pelosi caves yet again
Once again, Nancy Pelosi has demonstrated her utter lack of leadership skills by caving to the GOP; this time, it's on offshore oil drilling:
House Republican Leader John Boehner on Tuesday urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to call lawmakers back into session to pass a bill expanding drilling in federal waters, now that she was willing to permit a vote on such a measure.
Reversing her position, Pelosi said she was willing to schedule a vote in the House of Representatives on legislation to expand offshore drilling, if the bill addressed other energy issues, such as extending tax credits for solar and wind energy and releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Pelosi is more than willing to substitute meaningless gimmicks for substantive policy, all based on her phobia of being called names by Republicans. She is a disgrace as Speaker of the House, and she should be replaced as soon as possible.
Please take the following poll:
I don't believe for one second that Pelosi would change her tactics even if Obama is elected President. She'll still have a GOP minority in the House to keep her quivering in her shoes, no matter who's in the White House. She really needs to go.
