CNN’s Jack Cafferty published an excellent column on how Nancy Pelosi and the Congressional Democrats are using the same ol’ partisanship to ruin Obama’s mojo.  Here’s a brief excerpt:

“Well, that didn’t take long.  Three weeks into the new administration and the Democrats are squandering their advantage and threatening to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.  Credit House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for getting the ball rolling.  Under her leadership, House Democrats excluded Republicans from having any voice in crafting the stimulus package.

“Acting like children who hadn’t seen Santa Claus for eight years, House Democrats busily loaded up the bill with stuff they had been unable to get for eight years.  It was payback time.  Contraception, funding for the arts, restoration of the national mall, stop-smoking programs.  All while Americans lose their homes, their jobs, and their savings.  It was both childish and disgraceful.

“Apparently tone deaf to the disgust and disappointment of Americans with the bailout package for Wall Street and the banks last year, as well as the voters’ strongly stated desire for change as represented by the election of Barack Obama, House Democrats set the table for failure — again.”

Cafferty goes on to say, “My guess is President Obama is busy these days sticking pins in his Nancy Pelosi doll.”

Through the will of the American people, we finally have a President who appears to care about more than just the bankers, CEOs and top 1% wealthiest in our country.  Yet Pelosi is squandering Obama’s goodwill with her partisan pettiness and desire to pay back the Republicans for the 8 years under George W. Bush.  While this may satisfy Pelosi’s desire for revenge, it comes at the expense of the American people and our grandchildren who will pay for this irresponsible $10 trillion bailout.
