Why is Pelosi acting as though there are 2 seperate leaderships in the US and going off to have meeting with?

Question

our enemies such as Syria who is constantly supplying arms to terrorists.

When foreign policy leaves our borders it should leave as 1 message, 1 policy. With this rift between reps and dems now Bush is saying one thing and then Pelosi is going out without authorization or warning and saying a different message. This is bad for the country. Also, these people hate women, they probably laughed at her once she left and spoke fo how she should be burried to her neck in sand for coming there.

ALSO:

HER JOB IS TO MAKE AND/OR PASS LAWS... NOT DICTATE FOREIGN POLICY! Also, this is with our taxpayer money.


Isaw this type of stuff coming as soon as her first week in the house she was complaining about how she should have a private jet bigger than anyone before her because she si teh first woman speaker.

This is why women/Hillary should not be elected to presidency.

.

"Last time I checked, this is a free country, buddy. Lighten up. "


Umm, free for individuals. For public representatives to be going unauthorized to foreign enemies of the the united states and talking to them is not exactly something I can let slide by. As always you know she was undermining the president, thats just what democrats do unless its a democrat president.
Im not saying she did anything illegal, just questionable.

Answer 1

There are two separate (there's a "rat" in separate - learned that in high school English class) leadership groups.

The first is the president.

The second is everybody else.

The president himself has encouraged communication with the different countries in the region, and in fact, a small group of Republicans visited Syria as well.

So what's your beef with Pelosi? You know, Bush is a lame duck now. So others might as well step up to the plate and take responsibility for "fixing" the mideast. Bush sure isn't doing anything to help the case.

Answer 2

You might want to read the Constitution...because it says there are three separate but EQUAL branches of government and that We The People are supposed to be the REAL leadership in this country. You didn't seem to have a problem with her meeting with the Israelis. Did you miss the part about the Israeli prime minister asking her to deliver a message to Syria?

Like it or not she is 3rd in line in the government behind the president and vice president and she has every right to take the bull by the horns and exert influence on the policy of the country...in fact it is her duty. This is how the system is supposed to work. You just haven't seen a strong speaker of the house since 1994 so this all may come as a shock to you.

To find out what a strong speaker can and should do google Scoop Jackson.

Answer 3

Well unfortunately many liberals will see no big deal in this, but that is because historically most people don't want to look at the bigger picture.
I know if I had a enemy and there were several factions talking to me and saying different things the first thing that would go through my mind is that these people are not unified and I should be able to take advantage of them.

I think there are many thugs around the world that would love for a woman to be president because they would see it as the best opportunity to play the US for a sap if Hillary or Nancy Pelosi is any indicator of the kind of character or backbone we will have.

Answer 4

Well, Bush is a bad president. He dictates when he should be LEADING. You know, kinda like a leader. Leaders make people want to follow them. Dictators force people to follow them.

Personally, I don't think that Pelosi should have done that. I like it to the extent that it bugs Bush, and makes him look like his opinions are irrelevant. But I think she could have done that in many much less controversial ways.

BUT the message I get is that if the president can't make things work, then she's going to give it a shot. Actually, it really is not all that out-of-line of her to do that. Congress does have the power to declare war and make treaties, so I would think that the Speaker of the House would need to be very informed and make independent decisions from the president, particulary when they're in different parties. So, in order to make these decisions she would need to travel to places that the president doesn't necessarily want her to go.

Answer 5

Because other countries need to see something other than the President's belligerent name-calling and threats. She is to be commended. We need more leadership and initiative like Pelosi's. Bush could take a lesson from her.

Answer 6

I said this when she was elected speaker of the house and I say it now. pelosi is a danger to the USA and she should be shackled and put into prison for being a traitor....or better yet, let her go home to San Francisco land of the Loony Birds and keep her there.

Answer 7

Congress members have visited other heads of state for a very long time. Why did GWB single out her visit while nothing was said about the 3 Republican congressmen that were in Syria just last week?

Answer 8

WELL, there comes a time that, one has to do the right thing( not to mention, that time was 6 years ago!!), specially when the country has been running by an incompetent, ignorant, repellent, power thirst IDIOT!

Answer 9

She thinks she is queen Nancy. She needs to be arrested and tried for treason as soon as she gets back. She is trying to make it look like the liberals are in complete control of the country to the enemy. You know, we may need that American Revolution I have been talking about and get rid of the liberal scourge in our country.

Answer 10

If there's a law against it, why isn't Bush doing something about it?

How irresponsible is that???

Answer: There is no law against it. And perhaps Pelosi is trying to accomplish what Bush refuses to: an attempt at solutions that don't involve military action.
