Pelosi doesn’t want to look like a clown

Nancy Pelosi is not going to talk about what Democrats want to acomplish in the forthcoming ‘super-congress’ committee on the debt deal.

“I’m not drawing any lines in the sand because I think it plays into their hand,” Pelosi told a small group of reporters invited to her office on Thursday morning. “When 12 clowns are in a ring and a sane person jumps into the ring he looks like the 13th clown…. It is part of their plan to keep the attention on this, and the debt and the who and the rest and I’m simply not going to do it.”

President Obama is suffering heavy criticism from liberals, after talking tough about raising taxes on the wealthy, only to suffer defeat from the Republicans.
