House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today blamed Congress’ failure to bring an end to the war in Iraq and deal effectively with the reform of immigration laws as the primary causes of the institution’s near-record low approval ratings.
In an interview at the U.S. Capitol, Pelosi said the Democratic takeover of Congress had raised expectations on action to end the conflict in Iraq, and that the Senate’s initial willingness to tackle immigration reform followed by its failure to do so left the American public disappointed in Congress.
It couldnt be because Nancy tried to push Armenian Genocide could it? Trying impeachment trial ballons every week? Launching foolish and time consuming investigations? Or maybe it is because the democrats have been so willing to undermine the troops and unfairly judge Iraq? The DREAM ACT? Drivers licenses for illegals? Face it, Nancy, your leadership sucks..
