Thank God she is no longer Speaker of the House

Good to know House Minority Leader (God I love that title...it took her only four years to get the American people to throw her ass out) has her priorities right as we are deep a budget crisis.

EAST HAVEN – Taking a “time out” from attacking the debt ceiling crisis, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi flew to Connecticut Sunday for a private political fundraiser for friend and fellow Democratic congresswoman Rosa DeLauro.

The elite fundraising event, which drew top state and local Democrats including Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, took place a day after Pelosi, D-Calif., met with Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH, and other congressional leaders to try to hash out an 11th-hour deal to raise the debt ceiling and cut the deficit...

..Asked about the negotiations, Pelosi said there needs to be discussion about reducing the deficit, but that conversation should not be tied to raising the debt ceiling. She said previous presidents “never had any conditions placed on it or requirements that there be trillions of dollars in deficit reduction in order to lift the debt ceiling.”...

...Pelosi said she met for most of Saturday with congressional leaders and that she planned on “engaging in some conversations” upon her return to Washington D.C. Sunday. Regarding her decision to fly to Connecticut amidst debt limit talks, Pelosi said “Sunday morning is sort of a time out.”...
Yo Ms Pelosi a "time out" is time off from you business, not begging for money for your friends.
...The two congresswomen go back more than 20 years and DeLauro said Pelosi encouraged her to run for the office she now holds. Both leaders had kind words for each other.

“Rosa DeLauro is a great leader in the Congress and a force of nature in our country,” Pelosi said.

DeLauro had similar praise for the House minority leader.

“She has the intellect, the strategic thinking ability and a moral compass which is the kind of leadership we need today. She understands the plight of middle class America,” DeLauro said...
Rosa, this woman is a moron who in largely responsible for destroying the US economy and bankrupting this country.  And talking about a moral compass...from a woman who demanded a AF 747 to take her and her family around the world which they ran up a 100k bill for booze and food.  We don't need that type of abuse....
