Look at the answers you are getting. Since the Dem's took office they are undermining the current administration. Excuse me, I don't believe the Dem's have taken office as of yet, but these are the kinds of answers you get. The accusations don't have to be even remotely true let alone accurate. It's not about cooperation, it's the same arrogance which helped the republicans lose the elections. The party of god, the party of the people who are always right, are no longer in power. Only the President, and the Dem's are in the process of shining a light on his doings, and that just can't be tolerated. Attack, attack, attack. Lies, half-truths, innuendo, anything to keep the hatred and divisiveness going. This is who was representing America and they still don't get why they lost.

Seems to me that it's the Democrats who are doing that. They can't even get along with each other let alone the Republicans. Read on:
Democratic Logic.
And now she is Speaker of the House!!!!!!!!! Third in line for the Presidency.
Don't think it won't happen, this is how Gerald Ford became President.
Obviously, this woman has a very limited knowledge of economics! She is almost as scary as Hillary.

Nancy Pelosi condemned the new record highs of the stock market as "just another example of Bush policies helping the rich get richer".
"First Bush cut taxes for the rich and the economy has rebounded with new record low unemployment rates, which only means wealthy employers are getting even wealthier at the expense of the underpaid working class".
She went on to say "Despite the billions of dollars being spent in Iraq our economy is still strong and government tax revenues are at all time highs. "What this really means is" that business is exploiting the war effort and working Americans, just to put money in their own pockets".
When questioned about recent stock market highs she responded "Only the rich benefit from these record highs. Working Americans, welfare recipients, the unemployed and minorities are not sharing in these obscene record highs".
"There is no question these windfall profits and income created by the Bush administration need to be taxed at 100% rate and those dollars redistributed to the poor and working class".
"Profits from the stock market do not reward the hard work of our
working class who, by their hard work, are responsible for generating these corporate profits that create stock market profits for the rich.
We in congress will need to address this issue to either tax these
profits or to control the stock market to prevent this unearned income to flow to the rich".
When asked about the fact that over 80% of all Americans have
investments in mutual funds, retirement funds, 401K's, and the stock market she replied "That may be true, but probably only 5% account for 90% of all these investment dollars. That's just more "trickle down" economics claiming that if a corporation is successful that everyone from the CEO to the floor sweeper benefit from higher wages and job security which is ridiculous". How much of this "trickle down" ever get to the unemployed and minorities in our county? None, and that's the tragedy of these stock market highs."
"We democrats are going to address this issue after the election when we take control of the congress. We will return to the 60% to 80% tax rates on the rich and we will be able to take at least 30% of all current lower Federal Income Tax taxpayers off the roles and increase government income substantially. 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."
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied "We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as"Americans"
A Bush spokesman responded to this interview by saying "Mrs. Pelosi has set a new standard for the spin business".
Feeling smarter yet?
