As much as people want to blame Pelosi, perhaps she trusted the Republican leaders who told her the votes were there. If she messed up, that would be her weakness.
10. I think Andrea Mitchell should not be doing ANY reporting on the mortgage meltdown that her DH
was instrumental in creating. I'm sure that she would like to see a quick fix that would take the attention off of her husband's role in this fiasco. Alan Greenspan was warned time after time that a meltdown was coming. He refused to do anything and in fact kept interest rates artificially low to prop up Bush's lousy economy and actually PRAISED adjustable rate mortgages at a time when interest rates were near historical lows.
