It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that you can't enact every recommendation if some of them conflict. It was stupid of Pelosi to make such a sweeping promise in the first place.

Bush; or (b) cut spending as one cuts taxes. I guess Bush choose both - increasing spending and cutting taxes. The either/or distinction was just over his head, I guess. Same goes for this rightwing horse****regarding what Pelosi said.

They have been utter failures for 6 years, and now they sanctimoniously pronounce criticisms of the Dems by selective misrepresentations of fact. So typical of them - more desperate than ever to sway public opinion to make the Dems look worse than Repukes; watch them on every news broadcast, and the media allows their outrageous comments without challenge. In fact, the media is also demanding immediate and impossible solutions from Democrats. If Dems speak about one topic, they are criticized for not speaking about another.
