House Speaker Pelosi calls Bush 'a total failure'

By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer Thu Jul 17, 7:35 PM ET

WASHINGTON - President Bush has been a "total failure" in everything from the economy to the war to energy policy, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. In an interview on CNN, the California Democrat was asked to respond to video of the president criticizing the Democratic-led Congress for heading into the final 26 days of the legislative session without having passed a single government spending bill.

Pelosi shot back in unusually personal terms.

"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject," Pelosi replied. She then tsk-tsked Bush for "challenging Congress when we are trying to sweep up after his mess over and over and over again."

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino defended Bush.

"What the president said is a fact — this is the longest a Congress has gone in 20 years without passing a single spending bill, so it's clear that the speaker is feeling some frustration at their inability to do so."

Pelosi's outburst was a departure. Her usual practice in public has been to call Bush's policies a failure — not his presidency or him, personally. Pelosi's remarks are the latest evidence of the Democrats' throw-caution-to-the-wind approach to Bush in the waning days of a presidency weighed down by an unpopular war and soaring gasoline prices.

And THAT is where I stop posting THIS article...

Pelosi and Reid: Not partying or whooping it up like you were when you won both Houses now --- ARE ya???

Oh, and about YOUR approval rating --- 18 percent --- STILL 11 points behind THE President... A term YOU two forget to say --- a LOT of times... If the shoe were on the other FOOT, I'm SURE each of you would be upset if any of US failed to call you just Congresswoman or Senator...

Each of you make me SICK and you both are an embarrassment to the United States...

DO something about our stupidly HIGH price of gasoline... THEN maybe we'll talk about FAILURE!!!
