Four years ago the Affordable Care Act was
signed into law. During a press
conference on Thursday which a measly 15
journalists attended, Nancy Pelosi vocefirously stood at the rostrum correcting a reporter
who asked, “In the current environment in a swing district, is
Obamacare a winner or a loser politically?”
Pelosi replied, “I believe that
it’s a winner,” and then went into a dissertation on why it should be called by
its proper name.
“It’s called
the Affordable Care Act. It’s
called the Affordable Care Act. I know you didn’t intend any compliment or
derogatory—it’s called the Affordable Care Act, and the Affordable Care Act,
when people know what it is and see what it means to them, and that’s the case
that we have to make,” she rambled.
“And I tell him the same thing I
told you,” Pelosi said laughing. “Affordable. Affordable. There’s a reason—affordable.
Affordable. Affordable. Affordable. Affordable. The reason they changed the
name of it is because they wanted to get away, the opponents, from the word
affordable. And that’s why I’m patient with some of these comments, whatever it
is; it’s infinitely more affordable than the path that we’re on without it.”
You keep using that word
Nancy. I don’t think it means what you
think it means.
The reporter was quick to point
out that The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer himself had embraced
the term in 2012.
The only reason I can surmise that
she sounded like a broken record is that she either shit her pantsuit or it was
time for her meds.
