Barack Obama Wants Nancy Pelosi Back In Charge. Do You?

Is it time to go back to the future?

September 15, 2011 RSS Feed Print

His agenda stalled and his popularity sinking as a result, President Obama is hoping for more than just his own re-election next year. He's wishing that the Democrats can take back the House and return Nancy Pelosi as House speaker.

While he was addressing immigration policy in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute 34th Annual Awards Gala Wednesday night, having Pelosi back would certainly reignite his plans and help his legacy.

"We need an immigration policy that works," said the president. "I wish I had a magic wand and could make this all happen on my own. There are times where—until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again—I'd like to work my way around Congress," he said to applause.

Then while pushing his American Dream Act to provide conditional permanent residency to certain illegal alien-students, he added: " I know Nancy Pelosi is ready to act."

Do you agree with the president that the nation would be better off with Pelosi returned as speaker?

NO! We The People, Non-Partisan Group, non-political party, DO NOT want Pelosi back ever!

We are praying that someone else gets elected in place of her! We do NOT want her dictating her agenda to us again as House Majority Leader!

We The People, are ALL those people who are for the Common Good of All and the Country! We want our right to choose what's good for We The People. No one in Congress is listening to us!

We can see where to cut the budget, and it's not by cutting out what people need at this time. A lot of people are unemployed, and 45% are living in poverty, and have not other means to fall back on, for help. Family members cannot help their families because they don't have the money either. Churches cannot help all the people, so the Government has to help people also.

One way is to cut out agencies that are duplicating one another, and who tie one another's hands by refusing to cooperate with one another. One, according to Donald Rumsfeld, in his Known and Unknown book (c) 2010, was National Security Commission, would not give what the Dept. of Defense, felt our troops needed to protect themselves better, and to help them win the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. They delayed over a year before approving what the Dept. of Defense asked for.

Also, according to Ronald Reagan, in his autobiography of (c) 1990, a very good book, beaurocracy pads their budgets so they won't get a cut in their budget the following year. And their are agencies that when they are no longer needed, still on the budget, refusing to let people know we don't need that agency any longer as they did the job they were supposed to.

We could cut the beaurocracy of the Dept. of Defense. I read in Rumsfeld book how beaurocracy worked against each other, at the expense of our troops in the field fighting.

In 2005-2006, according to "Black Heart" book, by a Time magazine writer, our troops needed more troops because they were only getting about 4 hours of sleep a night. One patrol was made to work 72 hours straight without any sleep.

Also, troops need to be rotated every 80 days, because that's how long one fighting in the field can take of all the killing they see, and seeing their friends blown to pieces right before their eyes. How would you like to find the body parts of your friend? It took one patrol 48 hours to find the torso of a soldier killed by a improvised bomb.

So, NO PELOSI in 2012! I've caught her in lots of lies she tells, trying to make We the People believe that it's the truth. She says whatever it takes to get the votes she needs to get her agenda done.

Tired U.S. Citizen.

We need fresh people, who are for We the People, to run for office in 2012. From the President on down!

Sincerely,

A pox on them all, Pelosi, Reid, Boehner, McConnell. We need pragmatics that can work together and get things done. If you cannot pass legislation that can be signed in to law, you're worthless to me. What you all should do is elect me! I am more than willing to do nothing for half the pay! No reason to pay these yahoos for doing nothing when you can get it at half price!
