Representative John A. Boehner, the House Republican leader, became emotional as he urged his party to muster the will to approve the package. After his members overwhelmingly voted against it, he tried to shift the blame to a partisan speech delivered on the floor just before the vote by Representative Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker.Translation: "Republicans voted against the bill to save the nation's economy because Nancy Pelosi was mean to us and called us names."
That's what we have come to in this nation. Republicans, by their own words, threw the country under the bus because Nancy Pelosi was not nice to them.
Advice to Republicans: Grow the fuck up. This is not junior high school, this is serious shit, and you've let the economic spiral continue because you didn't like a speech? Your idea of leadership is to trash the economy because somebody said something to you that you found disagreeable? You are beyond pathetic at this point.

The kicker here is that Pelosi's speech DIDN'T call out anyone except Pres. Bush. In fact, she PRAISED the Republicans for working on it in a bi-partisan fashion!
Unbelievable.
Let's get this straight. A Republican proposal by a Republican treasury secretary pushed by a Republican President and by the Republican candidate for the Presidency failed to get the majority of Republican votes because... the Democrats made them do it?
Talk about your ultimate "the dog ate my homework" excuses!
