Nancy Pelosi, political animal

Nancy Peloisi gave an interview to NPR  (a friendly media).  It came on the radio this morning.  Nancy spoke at length about the fiscal cliff bill.  She discussed how it effected the fortunes of her party, the other party, and a little bit about the president.  She declared her undying love for public programs, public health, public schools, public roads, public this public that.  Her hopes for the democrats to retake the house.  Her support of the "middle class".
  She never spoke of the effect the the fiscal cliff bill might have upon the general welfare.  Whether it would create jobs, economic growth, end Great Depression 2.0.  She didn't say if it be good for the country as a whole.  She spoke entirely about inside-the-beltway political struggle, never about making things better for the country. 
Political animal.
