Yes Nancy, You ARE Part of the Problem

Karla and I watch The Daily Show for laughs, and often a great interview. Like November 8, when Former President Clinton came on and gave a very interesting perspective on getting Americans back to work. His thoughts were precise, cogent, and practical.

Then came November 9 and Nancy Pelosi. She reminded me that the phrase Democratic Party Leader is an oxymoron. Heavy emphasis on moron.

The topic of discussion was Congress' 9% approval rating. Ms. Pelosi's response was that in early 2009, when the Democrats lead the House, the approval rating for Congress was in the low 40% range. And not only was that her first response. She kept coming back to it. Again and again.

• First, low 40s could also be read as almost 60% failure. Just saying...
• No acknowledgment that it was the miserable leadership of the House that set up conditions for 2010
• No understanding that in 2009, Americans were giving Congress the benefit of the doubt about solutions that never came
• And the thing that disgusted me the most (and I have been a Democrat my entire voting life) - Having the audacity to ignore the above and make the miserable failures of Congressional leaders and members a political plug.

Ms. Pelosi should remember if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem, and she is soooooooooooooooo not part of the solution.
