How's this for change: House Majority Leader Pelosi showed us more of the same today on a matter that should concern all of us most. As reported in The Hill:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, when asked Tuesday whether Democrats bear some of the responsibility regarding the current crisis on Wall Street, had a one-word answer: “No.”
Pelosi (D-Calif.) ripped President Bush’s “mismanagement” of the economy and a lack of regulation that led to the current situation.
Here's my opinion of change.
Change occurs when leaders stop shifting blame. When mistakes happen true leaders are willing to acknowledge their contribution to the problem. This is a good example. Pelosi ripped the president for a lack of regulation. Let me ask a question. Who is responsible for creating laws, Congress or the President? Correct, Congress. If we are lacking in sufficient regulations for the financial markets, the failure is with Congress. Pelosi, as Speaker of the House, bears responsibility in this regard, not the president.
When it comes to shifting blame, Pelosi once again proves she offers no change we can believe in, just more of the same.
A political party that claims to bear no responsibility for the problems facing this country is a political party incapable of solving the problems this country faces. Why? Because they are more interested in laying the cause of every problem at the feet of their opponents to gain electoral advantage.
They don't care about solving this country's problems. They care only about winning an election.
