Pelosi Peeved GOP Opts Out of Rebuttal to Obama Address

[Locutus]

Republicans have decided they're not going to give a rebuttal to President Obama's jobs speech later this week, a decision House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi took as a high affront to the White House.
At least three GOP lawmakers also have announced they're not going to show up for the presidential address. House Speaker John Boehner's office then confirmed Tuesday evening that nobody from the party would deliver an official televised response.
Pelosi said the party's "silence" would "speak volumes about their lack of commitment to creating jobs."
"The Republicans' refusal to respond to the president's proposal on jobs is not only disrespectful to him, but to the American people," Pelosi said.
But Boehner spokesman Mike Steel said Obama's proposals on Thursday "will rise or fall on their own merits," suggesting a GOP response was not needed.

Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans want to work with Obama if it means not pandering to their official party line.

Neither party is interested in the future of the country, unless it fits with the party policy.

Too bad, but that's what the parties want.

We had a Firefighter's Funeral service in San Francisco last spring. Pelosi chose to drive the entire circuit of blocked off streets waving to attending firefighters. Most gave her the one fingered salute back. What a lop! I'll bet she is just show boating again just like then.
