Pelosi's Op-Ed in USA Today

Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer combined in this very interesting article that was published in USA Today's Op-Ed section. Obviously, Pelosi and Hoyer discuss the health care reform, and how it has been the focus of the US economy and political agenda for nearly a century now, and especially how important it is to debate it to make sure we get it right. She argues for lower costs and better care, not quite divulging the fact that we and our children have to pay for this reform.

Pelosi continues on, mocking the behavior of Americans at recent town hall meetings with representatives. I, for one, am very encouraged and optimistic when I see people learning the facts, standing up to their representatives, and asking the right questions. Doesn't the Obama administration understand what's going on? People are seeing right through their nonsense, their whimsical claims, and "happily ever after" reform. So what if people yell and point their fingers at these representatives? These people have been elected to represent the people, to answer questions, pass on information, to act in the best interest of the people. They don't get paid six figure salaries for sitting around a nice office...

Pelosi also claims, "Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American". Oh I see, but shooting people down because they believe something else that happens to differ from your viewpoint is OK when it benefits you right? Personally, I believe Ms. Pelosi's article not only exemplifies her hypocritical nature, but shows how shallow she truly can be.
