Pelosi Gives Herself an ‘A’ for Effort

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave herself an “A” for effort, grading her performance in office.  In a “This Week” interview, Speaker Pelosi told ABC’s Elizabeth Vargas, “I think I get an A for effort.  And in the House of Representatives, my mark is the mark of our members.  We have passed every piece of legislation that is part of the Obama agenda.”  

Asked why nearly 300 bills passed by the House are stalled in the Senate, Pelosi  blamed the “delaying tactics of the Republicans in the Senate.”

Watch video HERE:

Read full exchange HERE:

VARGAS: Finally, President Obama, when asked to rate his year in office, gave himself a B plus.   How would you rate yourself in the past year?

PELOSI: Well, I have a — I think I get an A for effort.  And in the House of Representatives, my mark is the mark of our members.  We have passed every piece of legislation that is part of the Obama agenda.  Whether it's the creation of jobs, expanding access to health care, creating new green jobs for the future, regulatory reform, we have passed the full agenda.

VARGAS: Are you frustrated so many bills have not have been stalled in the Senate?  Almost 300 bills passed by the House that are sitting languishing in the Senate?

PELOSI: And most of those bills have bipartisan support.  Strong bipartisan support in the House that have gone over there.  But that you know what that's about?  That's about — and it's very important for you to know, that's about the Republican delay tactics.  By requiring 60 votes on some simple legislation that Harry Reid always gets — has the votes for, but he doesn't have the time to go through the procedural day after day where you have to wait days for the time to go by in order to get the 60 votes.  That's how it works in the Senate.

So it's about time.  Everything's about time.  The most finite commodity that we have.  We used our time very well in the House to get an agenda passed in time for it to be considered by the Senate.  The delaying tactics of the Republicans in the Senate…

VARGAS: Dare I ask you to grade the Senate?

PELOSI: Well, let's grade this all on a curve.  What really matters is, what we do and how it relates to the lives of the American people back to that kitchen table where they have to think about how they make ends meet and how they make the future better for their children and provide for their own retirement.  That's really where the grade goes.  And the grade is given on election day.  We — we're fully prepared to face the American people with the integrity of what we have put forth, the commitment to jobs and health care and education and a world at peace and safe for our children and with the political armed power to go with it to win those elections.

HAHAHAHAHA! “A” right!

So Nancy, you think you deserve an “A”. What you think and what WE think of you is just typical of your lack of connection to Americans in general.
To those of you in Pelosi’s district in California, I offer this. If she should be re-elected to office by you the voters I will lose ALL respect for you as voters and make it known wherever on the web.
This person makes me seethe with contempt and I will not see her face on my TV, changing the channel as quickly as possible. If any politican deserves to be unseated it is Pelosi.

Posted by: indymind | February 28, 2010, 9:41 am 9:41 am

If the Democrats had the 60 votes to pass the House legislation, they would have. Until the election in MASS, they had no excuse – they had 60 to overcome any perceived delaying tactic by the GOP. Fact of the matter is that there are many Democrats who are very concerned in the direction our country is heading. To think otherwise, makes me wonder how many ostriches there are in this country.

This woman is so impressed with herself she doesn’t have a clue. There isn’t a grade low enough for her. How can we get her out of our government?

Posted by: jerry | February 28, 2010, 10:45 am 10:45 am

Is she on drugs? “F” isn’t even good enough for her. This woman needs to get out of congress and live like the rest of us for a while – I know it will be difficult to give up your luxuries, Nancy, but you need to in order to see how wrong you are.
How dare she say any of what she said? Blame, blame, blame, blah, blah, blah.
I hate to share a first name with her.

Posted by: Nancy | February 28, 2010, 10:47 am 10:47 am

And speaking of which, the American People do NOT want a public option and we do not want federal interference in our health care options. You can help the states, like you are responsible for in the constitution, but stay out of any more of our lives.
You put your pork in these bills – why not just write simple bills in small pieces? This would make the most sense for any items requiring federal involvement.

I believe that this woman is dangerous. She has no clue what so ever and all she wants to do is for her personal gain. She has lost touch with what the American People want and she just wants to pass the bill to say, see I have the power to do what I want. I say, NO YOU DON’T!
As it was stated above me..she gets A+ for REALLY awful!

Posted by: Mike | February 28, 2010, 11:08 am 11:08 am

She is definitely a real piece of work. Just remember she’s from California. That should say it all.
On a scale of 1 to 10, she is -10.

“And most of those bills have bipartisan support. Strong bipartisan support in the House that have gone over there.”-Plastic Lady
Does she even bother to think about what she’s saying? If the bills even had minimal bipartisan support, they would pass the Senate. Too many needles in the face effects the brain.

I once saw a Chuck Norris interview in which he told the interviewer that he would like Ron Paul to take him to Congress and point out the ones that are corrupted by special interests. Norris would then proceed to apply a roundhouse to their faces. It seems they should start in the CA section.

Pelosi is arrogant and that turns most people off- including liberal Democrats like me.
She needs to be replaced with a real thinker.
She lost most true believers of “Tes we can” when she caved on the ‘public option’,

..so, Pontius Pelosi, where the hell is your vote on Healthcare Reform….you can wave your arms all over the place when you talk, but the cobwebs are still there. Is this the best the Demoncrats can do?

Posted by: justj joey | February 28, 2010, 12:11 pm 12:11 pm

tired of it all wrote: “If the Democrats had the 60 votes to pass the [Senate] legislation, they would have.”
You don’t understand. The vast majority of the legislation is NOT being voted on because the GOP is trying to paralyze the American government. For example, the Senators can demand a certain amount of time for consideration for each bill. Even bills the GOP supports they ask for the max. time so that only a couple bills per day can make it to the floor for a vote. And then there are the individual blocking tactics. Sen Jim Bunning voted to have Medicare prescriptions paid for with hundreds of billions in borrowed money, but he’s blocking the extension of unemployment benefits for 1,200,000 American families because, he says, he wants the $10B to be funded! Senator Shelby says he thinks a certain person is very qualified for an important post – yet he holding up that appointment and every other one he can. Other GOP Senators are doing the same thing.
Consequently, there are no appointments to judgships, key security positions, etc. A year after Obama has become President, there are acting heads of departments not because the GOP opposed those who were appointed, but because they want to paralyze the American government and make it fail.

“but he doesn’t have the time to go through the procedural day after day”
Exactly what else are we paying Senator Reid to do other than take care of the nation’s business in the Senate?
Is he like idiot Senator Bunning and has a sporting event to go to?

sharon albert, i’d be for a public option if i believed it were possible to expand coverage, maintain the quality of care the insured now get, while neutralizing or decreasing costs…but i know that’s impossible. fortunately, a lot of americans agree with me. since when did government do anything to instill in you confidence that it can do anything efficiently and a honestly? please let me know…because i’ve been searching for a long time.

Posted by: davidfrat21 | February 28, 2010, 12:27 pm 12:27 pm

since the voters are the ones actually issuing the grades, i would think pelosi’s single digit approval ratings would indicate that an “F” would be overly generous. more like a 0.0…a la john blutarski.

Posted by: davidfrat21 | February 28, 2010, 12:29 pm 12:29 pm

An A for effort, but F for substance.

Posted by: OkOk | February 28, 2010, 12:32 pm 12:32 pm

I’m sure she tries hard, but not much of substance has happened with her as Speaker. Kind of disappointed. I’d give her a C-.

Posted by: ILoveMSNBC | February 28, 2010, 12:38 pm 12:38 pm

I am ashamed to have to claim Senator Bunning since I live in Kentucky…he made a fool of himself.
But…and it’s a rather large but…what is wrong with wanting to use money ‘lying around’ to pay for benefits instead of going further into debt?
Seriously….all the Democrats had to do was agree to a intelligent, fiscally-responsible, rational request..and bingo! All those desperately needed extensions would be reality.
I have to wonder about that. Do the Democrats (including President Obama) have other plans for that stimulous money? Maybe to buy a few more votes?

My emails to the Preacher have not been answered. But, he will hear me in Nov. Take my advice and follow your incompent cohort from Kansas-Moore, and not run.

There should be a boycott on the Botox Queens district until the voters get her out. No more meetings for me in San Fran-and spending $$$ for hotel rooms, meals. I will be using my internet more. The only way to get her out is to hit her voters in the pocketbook. DO NOT GO TO SAN FRAN!

Too much botox, too much greasing of her palms, and loathsome comments every time she opens her trap in the form of BS, this broom riding, know it all seems to forget one thing: you are there for one reason and one only-to serve Americans, not yourself as that predictable grin you display indicates.
Give yourself an A? How conceited and self serving but so predictable for your arrogance. One of the posts had it right-each time your insolent attitude appears on tv, you are shut out and shut down.
Proud to be in this country with you third in line? Scared to death…other posts have you clearly marked-time to take the A from your descriptive ‘adjective’ to one better suiting-anarchy (disorder, confusion, chaos, disregard, REIGN OF TERROR).
People in CA-read this: get her out of that office now. READ INDYMIND’s Post. Says it all.
This country is in dire need of ‘cleaning house’, starting at the top 3.
I cannot believe this is the USA. How could anyone have believed the big “O” when he campaigned? Look at the horrendous mess and subsequent losses for all of us. A McCain supporter/voter, cannot wait for this term to end…or are we at the end now?

Wow, her head is bigger than I thought. You don’t get an A for effort, you get an A for actually doing a good job. You can work harder than anyone else but if the result is poor, you still get an F. I don’t think she’s effective in accomplisjing things, I don’t like her ideas or proposals, I think she’s a distraction during the presidential speeches (you don’t need to stand and applaud on every thing he says, you can see her on her seat ready to get up even before he made the next statement, like she’s following a cue card), and I still think the whole bigger plane fiasco was one of the biggest waists of tax dollars.

Everything she does is to benefit herself & her party to keep her in power, not for any of the Americans that are being indebted to pay for her excesses and the massive dept they are creating.
Send her packing, in fact, replace them all, we could not do worse with a new crop of politicians.

She is quoted “We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country, and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest. [ In her minds eye, income over 75000.00 is rich.]
When asked how these new taxes would be spent, she replied “We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimited 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help , along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock markey windfall profits taxes are needed to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as “Americans”
The message is “Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it.

Pelosi: “We have passed every piece of legislation that is part of the Obama agenda.” —- Well, there’s your problem, Madam Speaker, you grade yourself only by passing a liberal agenda… Its no wonder we will see a new Speaker of the House in November!!!
