Nancy Pelosi: Today ‘We’re Trying To Save Life On This Planet As We Know It’ From GOP Budget

Video
» 66 comments

Democratic Minority Leader in the House Nancy Pelosi certainly has a way with words. At a press conference today, she attempted to remind everyone just how vital the ongoing debt negotiations are not only for America’s future, but also for every living, breathing organism throughout the entire planet!

In the Fox News report below, Pelosi is quoted as saying:

“What we’re trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget . . . We’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today.”

In the clip, Jon Scott asked his guest Republican Senator Rob Portman whether that statement was hyperbole? It’s likely if one were to look up the definition of “hyperbole,” Pelosi’s statement here would probably be staring them back in the face.

Yet Portman didn’t want Pelosi to have all the fun and responded:

“If we don’t get our budget problems under control with record deficits and debts, and we don’t begin to deal with these underlying issues, we will become more like Greece.”

In the battle of hyperbolic statements, it seems Pelosi gets the victory here, yet with the debt ceiling deadline just a few days away, might others soon attempt to challenge her for the hyperbolic throne?

Watch a report on Pelosi’s quote from Fox News below:

    Wait, wasn’t Lawrence telling us just last night that it was the GOP that was getting desperate. But today, we first had the White House telling us that the Republicans were trying to ruin Christmas*, now this.

    Luckily for life on this planet, we were all saved from this woman back in November.

    Democrats haven’t passed a budget in 821 days. We don’t even remember what life with an operating budget was under her party’s leadership thus far.

    That’s an utter disgrace, and she has no moral authority whatever to lecture anyone about responsible governance.

    Count it.

    “If we don’t get our budget problems under control with record deficits
    and debts, and we don’t begin to deal with these underlying issues, we
    will become more like Greece.”

    How is that hyperbolic, Matt? He’s absolutely right. If we don’t deal with the entitlement ticking timebomb, we’re gonna look like Greece in a few years. Only instead of 11 million p-ssed off citizens, we’ll have 311 million. And no EU to come along and bail us out.

    The only way we are going to be saved is if we take the Obamas credit card away from him and his liberal leaches like Pelosi and Reid!
    Obama has grown Government by 30% in his short stint…we simply cannot afford to spend more then we take in and more taxes are not the remedy….we HAVE to cut spending and end Government waste!

    Nancy’s DNC chair , Anthony Weiner Jr. also knows how to negotiate rationally .
    Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), chair of the Democratic National Committee, said Wednesday that House Republicans are trying to impose “dictatorship” through their tactics in the debt-ceiling negotiations. She said the GOP rhetoric could “spark panic and chaos,” which she called “potentially devastating” to the economy.Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0711/60080.html#ixzz1TQI6On9z

    crazy pelsoi is, once again, so drunk even she doesn’t know what she’s saying.

    While she mis-served as THE WORST SPEAKER IN AMERICAN HISTORY, we taxpayers shelled out more than $10,000 PER MONTH for crazy pelosi’s liquor tab!  (Not to mention the $18,736 PER MONTH we payed for her San Francisco office, plus the hundreds of thousands for her constant use of huge military jets for her, and her family members’, personal transport. And then there’s the more than $5 TRILLION in increased American debt she wasted.)  One thing we can deduce from that: crazy pelosi is almost ALWAYS drunk as a skunk, so we can expect her to make as much sense as charlie sheen in her statements. What’s most amazing, of course, is that she can ever make a statement WITHOUT FALLING OVER.

    Seriously, just how drunk do you have to be to say something like: “We need to pass the bill [obozocare] so we can find out what’s in it.” or “…elections shouldn’t matter as much as they do…” ?

    Get help, pelosi — AA has a huge team waiting just for you.

    It is now being reported that the credit agencies are indicating that even if a $4 trillion debt reduction deal were reached that the US credit rating in all likelihood will still be lowered, this is a far greater deal than anything currently being considered in Washington, so maybe given her participation in the loonacy of the last few years we can now thank the former Speaker for her participation in having already destroyed life on this planet as we have known it…

    Absolutely but what scares me is that when we get around to where the cuts should be made we will never address the places we should. We will cut entitlements where we shouldn’t putting more Americans on the street while letting illegal’s still have access. We can save a lot of money just by creating a law requiring ID and background checks for all entitlements and that no entitlements should be given to non-citizens. Solves multiple problems. Frees up monies that should only be going to citizens and causes self deportations of people who come here to mooch.

OF course Obama would rather Christmas be abolish from memory and replace it with something more equally desired. It’s just a stupid meaningless day for a few crazies anyway.

    I find it difficult to believe anything Pelosi has to say.  Although, she did say “you have to pass it to find out what is in it”.  What a piece of “work” she is.  My wife asked me if the voice went out on the tv when Pelosi was speaking, I said no,  just mute, I can’t stand the sound of her voice. Some of what she and Obama have accomplished:
    Gas at the pump has risen 1.45% since Obama took office –$1.58 to $3.72 Barrel of oil- January 2, 2009: $46.34   Today= $100 a barrel    Cotton is up 140% Agricultural Raw Materials are up 81% Food Prices are up 49% Energy Prices are up 81% National debt increased  $4.2 trillion Lost jobs are over 2.19 million Health care costs up 9.4% –Will average an increase of 5.8% per year Medicaid costs up 20%

    How much more can we stand?
