Nancy Pelosi: ‘God bless’ Wall Street protesters


'God bless them for their spontaneity,' Nancy Pelosi said of the protesters. John Shinkle/POLITICO

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday praised the thousands of “Occupy Wall Street” protesters crowding New York City and other cities across the nation.

“God bless them for their spontaneity,” Pelosi told reporters. “It’s young, it’s spontaneous, it’s focused and it’s going to be effective.”

The comments from Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House, came after President Barack Obama embraced the protesters in a nationally televised news conference, saying their furor would “express itself politically in 2012 and beyond.”

“The focus is on Wall Street and justifiably so,” Pelosi said. “The message of the American people is that no longer … will the recklessness of some on Wall Street cause massive joblessness on Main Street.”

1. I love our Democratic leaders right now!

They have surpassed my every wish in this! Their support is worth so much more than mere words!

[ellisonz]

2. They're counting on us to get it done next November.

:applause:

[lunatica]

3. I have no doubt the OWS will deliver

But it may not make everyone in Washington happy. And that is as it should be.

5. lol, they want to use OWS to restore their credibility.

The new "hope and change".
At this point of the 2012 campaign talk is cheap.
Desperately trying to coopt and divert the message. And maybe trying recruit some folks to do the campaigning others won`t do again for this disappointing bunch.

But what did you expect?

Someone please post the pic with Paulson, Pelosi et. al. after "thank god, it passed".

6. Talk is cheap on DU too.

Do you want this or President Perry?

[Duende azul]

8. Come on. That´s not the pic I asked for.

And you know that.

7. Nancy is cool in my book nt

[Duende azul]

9. Well, not exactly cool, but she definitely has chutzpah.

Breathtaking who starts to discover their hearts for the protests.
Lots of stealth "professional leftists" coming out of the closet recently?

Must be an election around the corner...

[flamingdem]

10. I think Nancy is as pissed as the protesters at the repuke mentality!

She's had it in her face all this time..

[Duende azul]

11. She could have dealt with the repuke mentality by not taking impeachment "off the table"

Too little too late - sorry Nancy.
