In April, 2009, this is what Pelosi had to say about the Tea Partiers:
This morning on San Francisco’s KTUV News, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) explained that today’s tea party protests are not by any means an organic grassroots movement. Rather, she said, they are a deliberate astroturf campaign organized by two well-funded right-wing think tanks intent on obstructing the Obama agenda:
PELOSI: What they want is a continuation of the failed economic policies of President George Bush which got us in the situation we are in now. What we want is a new direction. … This [tea party] initiative is funded by the high end — we call call it astroturf, it’s not really a grassroots movement. It’s astroturf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class.
My,my,my. Here is what she is saying about the occupy Wall Street protesters:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday praised the thousands of “Occupy Wall Street” protesters crowding New York City and other cities across the nation.
“God bless them for their spontaneity,” Pelosi told reporters. “It’s young, it’s spontaneous, it’s focused and it’s going to be effective.”
Focused? Hardly. Most of the twenty-something's protesting don't even understand what they are protesting, other than rants against the rich. Effective? Yes, unfortunately, it probably will be effective, because the unions are driving and supporting it. Young? Spontaneous? Yes and no. The majority of protesters are young. The day of rage has been planned for weeks, if not months. So, no spontaneity there. The biggest difference between the tea party and occupy wall street protesters is that the Tea Partiers have jobs and shower daily.
And, what does our dear leader say about these kids protesting today?
I think people people are frustrated, and the protestors are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration as to how our financial system works," said the president."
How hilarious. Obama barely acknowledged the tea party rallies and when he did, he mocked them saying "those people out there waving tea bags about".
We have a serious problem here. Watch as these protests spread and grow in size. You have just met Obama's civilian army. He promised it, but most never paid attention to the severity of what he was actually saying.
From November 2 , 2008, in his own words:
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
There is a video of him saying this, but I do not want to torture anyone with having to look at him, let alone listen to him. Even more alarming is what we find in Obama's health care bill. His very own, fully funded, civilian army.
See the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act, page 1312: SEC. 5210. ESTABLISHING A READY RESERVE CORPS. Section 203 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 204) is amended to read as follows: SEC. 203. COMMISSIONED CORPS AND READY RESERVE CORPS. (a) ESTABLISHMENT
- (1) IN GENERAL.here shall be in the Service a commissioned Regular Corps and a Ready Reserve Corps for service in time of national emergency. (2) REQUIREMENT.All commissioned officers shall be citizens of the United States and shall be appointed without regard to the civil-service laws and compensated without regard to the Classification Act 2 of 1923, as amended. (3) APPOINTMENT.Commissioned officers of the Ready Reserve Corps shall be appointed by the President and commissioned officers of the Regular Corps shall be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
Remember when Pelosi said we'll just have to pass it to find out what's in it? Yup.
