Pelosi's Approval Rating at New Low Since Becoming Speaker

who does know how to save our economy. In fact, Obama has made most of the right moves except he didn't do enough fiscal stimulus. He saved us from a depression I can tell you that. He did make mistakes in not being aggressive enough and then he made an insensitive move to move quickly to health care which felt like a big spending program and a change that many people didn't really want. People weren't ready for it. He should have waited and focused on job creation and gotten more fiscal stimulus. Now, he is being overly blamed but healthcare is an essential problem for our society. He didn't understand the timing. And Pelosi is aknee jerk liberal who wanted her name associated with such a major reform. We need healthcare reform, but so few people understand it that they blew it for themselves by pushing it before people had confidence in the economy. Now, they hog tied themselves from doing another stimulus and have to rely on quantitative easing from FED which will be far less effective.

All they know is tax and spend.... This is pathetic because you do nothing but repeat the stereotypic rhetoric of right wing and obstructionistic republicans who have purposely stood in the way of prouctive legislation in order to make this argument to you. You have to read or at least watch some informative t.v. Forget fox and MsNBC...they are nothing more than PR machines for each side. Start informing yourself as to what the issues and subtlties are here. We needed to spend...fiscal stimulus in order to prevent an economic depression. We didn't spend enough and too much of it was wasted and not focused on job growth. But, we have not had new taxes and not much money yet spent on social reforms though clearly we have to reign spending in. I think we need to raise the taxes only on the top two brackets. If you are in those, then I understand your upset to a degree but you'll survive. I think rich and poor will do better if the country does better. Nothing constructive from Republicans in 2 years. Let's see what happens if they control Congress. I suggest they will simply tie up legislation for 2 more years in the hopes that people will blame Obama and they'll get the White House back. They count on your stupidity and failure to educate yourself.

Want a JOB???? FIRE PELOSI!!!!

She was about to use deem and pass to get the health care bill passed and sent on to the white house, but it wasn't deemed necessary, the Chicago style oval office realized they simply could bribe a few senators. And it worked.

Unemployment compensation DOES stimulate the economy. Unemployed people spend those checks as soon as they get them, keeping stores and other businesses they patronize in business. Add up all those checks and you get an increase in aggregate demand, which is what stimulus is all about. Take Econ 101 and get to know the subject before pontificating about it. I also hope (but have learned not expect) representatives to follow their consciences rather than the ups and downs of transitory polls. By the way, when the Iraq War became unpopular, didn't you and other conservatives praise George W. Bush for "staying the course" and NOT doing what the people said they wanted, as indicated by, among other things, the polls? How about some intellectual integrity and consistency on your part, "daddyEdje"

Our government is a democracy, a democratic government, and also a republic. Look both words up and see what the meaning of each is. We have a democratic form of governmednt. Our flag allegiance includes "and to the republic for which it stands." Mrs. Pelosi is not the one that does not know. I wish that you could have heard her on Charlie Rose. She did an excellent job with the questios asked.

,,,,,,,,,,oh yes her idea of Deem and Pass legislation with the health care bill was a blast. She figured she had enough votes for the bill and just wanted to pass it to the president for signature. With no tally vote no voter would know how their representative voted. Isn't that like a dictatorship?? You people have to pay attention to what congress says and does and not just what the NY Times, Washington Post or LA Times tells you.

I agree Pelosi is Very Effective at pushing left wing socialist ideas down our throats, because she thinks that she is smarter than the American people. The American people are sick and tired of being treated like children. Typical elitist Socialist ideas that don't work ......just ask Europe.
