Obama vs. Pelosi
Friends ask me if I am going around the bend. I think I am. Here is some evidence as to my psychological state.
I read Nancy Pelosi:
On the Proposal Released by Co-Chairs of the Fiscal Commission: Our nation is facing two challenges: the need to create jobs and address our budget deficit. Any viable proposal from the President’s Fiscal Commission must strengthen our economy, but it must do so in a fair way, focusing on how we can effectively promote economic growth.
This proposal is simply unacceptable. Any final proposal from the Commission should do what is right for our children and grandchildren’s economic security as well as for our nation’s fiscal security, and it must do what is right for our seniors, who are counting on the bedrock promises of Social Security and Medicare. And it must strengthen America’s middle class families–under siege for the last decade, and unable to withstand further encroachment on their economic security.
I read Barack Obama:
The President will wait until the bipartisan fiscal commission finishes its work before commenting. He respects the challenging task that the Co-Chairs and the Commissioners are undertaking and wants to give them space to work on it. These ideas, however, are only a step in the process towards coming up with a set of recommendations and the President looks forward to reviewing their final product early next month.
And I find myself thinking I would be a happier camper if Pelosi were president instead of Obama.
Never thought I would think that, I must say...
