Nancy Pelosi takes swipe at President Obama's campaign promises - Patrick O'Connor and Glenn Thrush - POLITICO.com The root of all evil Speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi is now attacking Obama for offering an open televised debate about health care reform. The problem is that Pelosi does not want an open and honest debate on CSPAN or any other TV station, she just wants whats rightfully hers, power! For the past 6 months, the democratic leadership has been writing our health care bill in secret. The power corruption and lies are rampant in Washington D.C. and there is no controlling legal authority which can stop them or punish them for their Destructive Behavior.
