How nice that the esteemed Speaker of the House had to pass her horrendous legislation under the cover of darkness on a Saturday night. After watching a couple of hours of the proceedings and votes on several amendments and motions, Pelosi was nowhere to be found until after the magic number of votes had been reached and it came time to announce the measure had passed. Then she popped up behind the desk, announced the bill had passed, and then faded away, leaving someone else to swing the gavel the rest of the way. Then magically, she reappeared at the self congratulatory press conference with all her cronies. She acted and looked more like she had just been crowned prom queen than a supposedly respected politician. They all had their face time in front of the microphone and I half expected them to begin high-fiving and chest bumping. It was reminiscent of a Hollywood awards show where they all gather together and tell each other how great they are by giving themselves awards. She then reminded everyone how this was for the American people. Not sure how she can say that given that the majority of Americans are AGAINST this health care reform bill. But then again, this has nothing to do with the American people but everything to do with her getting credit for something and building her power through control of everyone's daily lives and their taxes that will undoubtedly go up if this does eventually succeed. This whole fiasco is a disaster waiting to happen. It was so disgusting that I tried to call C-SPAN even though I did not get through.
