She claims that Democrats really tried to work with President Bush, well, sort of. From the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2014\/jan\/28\/nancy-pelosi-we-did-not-treat-president-bush-way\/\">Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mrs. Pelosi argued that while Democrats opposed Mr. Bush on many issues, including the Iraq War and his efforts to privatize Social Security, they also worked together on many issues such as the Wall Street bailout and energy legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did not treat President Bush this way,\u201d she said. \u201cWe thought we had a responsibility to work with the president to get a job done for the American people and we did. This obstruction to President Obama is something quite stunning. It\u2019s something quite different.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, really? Did any Republicans stand on the roof of Bashar Assad&#8217;s palace in Syria and declare that he was more credible than the president, because Democrat congressmen did that before the Iraq war. Speaking of Syria, I&#8217;m pretty sure that Nancy Pelosi went to Syria to sit down with Assad and play footsie with him despite Bush State Department objections. The Democrat controlled Congress didn&#8217;t pass a budget the last two years of the Bush Administration because they were spending all of their time trying to undermine the war in Iraq. How is that &#8220;working with the President&#8221;? Jim Webb, Democrat Senator from Virginia, snubbed President Bush in the White House. If a Republican did that today, we&#8217;d hear howling from the Democrats, the likes of which we&#8217;d never heard before.<\/p>\n<p>Well, y&#8217;all know the stories, they are legion. But, my point is; get over it, Democrats. I&#8217;m particularly happy that Congress gets nothing done these days, especially when what they do get done screws American citizens to the wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nancy Pelosi is trying to rewrite history, claiming that Republicans are big meanies because they won&#8217;t &hellip; <a title=\"Pelosi: We did not treat President Bush this way\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=39500\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Pelosi: We did not treat President Bush this way<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-congress-sucks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39500\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
