WASHINGTON |
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats in the House of Representatives might decide not to support a last-minute deal to raise the debt ceiling when they meet on Monday, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said on Sunday.
"We all may not be able to support it, or none us may be able to support it," Pelosi told reporters.

It is time for President Obama to show his convictions, using his 14th Amendment prerogatives. He must show that he uncompromisingly accepts the debts the U.S. Congress has put us into. Some Republicans are insisting Pres. Obama has no convictions. I hope they are wrong. He will become a hero in all States if he simply takes charge FOR A “CHANGE.”
We put Obama in office for “change.” We want a fair tax structure for a change We want peace in the world for a change We want secure banking and financial systems for a change. We want security for our retirement savings for a change. We want private manufacturers, farmers, financial institutions and oil corporations to be self-supporting for a change. We want gov to stop privatizing EVERYTHING for a change. We want change in the way political campaigns are run, with honest political leaders telling us the truth and then keeping their promises for a change. We want government in the sunshine for a change. We want new parties to be able to participate in the political process for a change. We want consistent rules in the Congress with voting being by simple majority for a change. We want jobs and economic stability for a change. We want a strong, honorable Commander In Chief for a change. We want fair voting procedures for a change.We want corrupt people to be brought to Justice for a change.”

Pelosi sounding like one of the few Democrats who isn’t an utter sellout.
Let’s hope she holds her ground.

How can you screw up a short story like this…no one reviewed this because if those quotes are actual, Nancy is not making sense again today.
