Pelosi’s words prove her socialist/communist agenda and her total distain and dismissive attitude for the U.S. Constitution

At a Capitol press conference on Thursday a reporter asked Pelosi: “Was the Congress in recess yesterday, and are you at all worried that President Obama has set a precedent that may make it easy for a president in the future to circumvent Congress when making appointments?”

Pelosi said: “I’m very proud of the president of the United States and the appointments that he made yesterday. I’m very glad that he did and it’s important for the American people to know what challenges face him as he tries to provide leadership for the agencies of government, which have been voted on by the Congress, are part of our public policy.”

“I especially want to address the Consumer Protection agency,” she said. “In our Wall Street reform bill, we had the greatest consumer protections in the history of our country. The Republicans want to block the appointment, not because they don’t think the person is qualified, but because they don’t want that agency to function. So, I’m proud of what the President did.”

A reporter then followed-up, asking, “The Senate, however, was in a pro forma session yesterday and critics are saying the president was not able to make those recess appointments because Congress was not actually in recess –”

Pelosi said, “Well, let that be the public debate with the Senate. Fortunately or unfortunately for us we do not have a role in the confirmation process, but we’re glad that the president took the lead, went out there, was bold and made the appointments.”
