For Your Next Act, Princess Pelosi?
No doubt you have heard how our House Democrats have blown $100,000 in a 3 day taxpayer funded getaway at Kingsmill Resort and Spa in Williamsburg, VA. This occurred right after they berated Wells Fargo so hard about their planned event in LasVegas that Well Fargo decided to cancel it.< Do as they say not as they do.>
Princess Pelosi pledged on national TV that under Obama there would be no more pork added to bills. So what happened? On the January 11 Stimulus Bill, there was more pork added than on any bill in history! And $227M of it was for oversight of pork barrel projects in her stimulus bill. (See Page 11).<She lied, but give her some money and she will set up a committee to oversee the pork added to House bills>
Now follow this one about the Princess. Star Kist Tuna is located in Pelosi’s district. They donate to her campaign. Pelosi’s husband owns $17M of Star Kist stock. Star Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the Samoan workforce. In January 2007, the minimum wage went from $5.15 to $7.25. Princess Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the hike in minimum wage thus making Del Monte products less expensive to produce than their competitors. <Got to grow that $17M investment in these hard economic times>
To continue her good deeds, the Princess added $33M for Economic Development credit for American Samoa in the Stimulus Package.<She is a Democrat and looks out for the people>
When she was elected Speaker of the house, remember how she whined about the little jet that had to stop and refuel when it ferried her back and forth from Washington to California? And remember how she demanded a full sized jet that could deliver her non-stop to her destination? Well folks, she only works three days a week and the cost of her jet one way is $60,000. That is $120,000 round trip or per week, $480,000/month or $5,760,000/year in fuel costs alone. <She is a Very Important Person and rates those perks. She might be President one day>
Princess Pelosi called President Bush “corrupt.” How do you spell “Liar” and Hypocrite?” How many of you readers are familiar with the ‘Peter Principle?’<It’s just politics as usual.>
The sad thing is this person is third in line to hold the most powerful position in the world, (at least at the present): Obama, Biden and Pelosi. May God have mercy on the United States. Our enemies must be dancing with joy in the streets.
