Pelosi shows she's unfit to be a leader

Nancy Pelosi's speech before the House in an effort to rally support for the financial bailout bill was absolutely disgraceful and reprehensible.

She is either a conniving politician who hoped the bill would fail in an attempt to gain political advantage for the upcoming election or she is a mean-spirited, partisan politician who has no business serving in her role as speaker of the House.

In either case, she is unfit to lead. America deserves better.

Her attempt to lay this crisis at the feet of Bush and Republicans is comical. The facts are out there; unfortunately you will need to dig them up yourself, since the lame-stream media is pathetic and partisan.

Start by Googling "community reinvestment act" and follow the money. It leads to many prominent Democrats, Dodd and Obama to name two.
