Pelosi Doesn't Help Bailout Situation

Congressional Republicans attribute Speaker Nancy Pelosi's speech as helping bring about the defeat of the bailout bill. I wonder why...



Where is the bipartisanship? Where's the cooperation? Where's the change? Sounds like the same pattern of Democratic short-sightedness and refusal to accept responsibility for their part in this mess. Rather than being a leader in the effort to pass what had been promoted as bipartisan legislation, Nancy Pelosi decides to go on a blame-Bush rant against the Republicans for the financial crisis. What better way to seek cooperation from the other side of the aisle than to attack them, especially when you could not bring 95 votes from her own party. Wonderful piece of leadership, Madame Speaker.
