Just in time to make the top 10 on my “Prayer Request” list for 2012 comes news that the most zany and divisive person in U.S. politics over the past 100 years may be seeing dark at the end of the tunnel, and may be prepared to act accordingly.
It all involves Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the U.S. and presently Minority Leader in that body. Pelosi is 71 years old, and as reported at the reference, may be close to leaving politics:
Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of House Minority Leader and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, told Big Government this week that her mother wants to leave Congress–and that she remains in Washington only at the behest of her campaign donors.Good heavens, most politicians retire to “spend more time with family” or to move on to areas where greater contributions can be made to humankind. Instead, Pelosi is concerned about her base of “donors”? Tells you all you need to know about Democrats!
During a telephone interview, Ms. Pelosi–speaking from a friend’s home in New York City–described her mother’s predicament:
She would retire right now, if the donors she has didn’t want her to stay so badly. They know she wants to leave, though. They think she’s destined for the wilderness. She has very few days left. She’s 71, she wants to have a life, she’s done. It’s obligation, that’s all I’m saying.
What about the American people and the future of America, Mrs. Pelosi?
Still, Pelosi’s retirement could be used to argue in favor of restoring America’s AAA credit rating! Indeed, if Pelosi does retire and Obama is defeated, Standard and Poors would almost be obligated to restore America’s AAA status.
Which is why my Prayer Request will now include a supplication that seeks peace and serenity for Pelosi—in any venue but Washington, D.C.!
