Nancy Pelosi just introduced Hillary as the next POTUS
That strikes me as unprofessional and undemocratic. I have a real problem with the Democrats having someone host an event like this in the middle of a primary who shows obvious favoritism toward one particular candidate. One of my problems with Hillary is that I feel like she's being forced on me by the power brokers within the Democratic Party and I resent it. This little proverbial wink by our Speaker of the House leaves no doubt in my mind. I'd been struggling with the decision whether or not to cast a vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination. Nancy Pelosi just made my mind up for me.

37. Not each and every one.
She introduced the invited candidates that way, and proclaimed one of the 6 "the next president of the U.S."

Iowa's, and Pelosi's, omissions don't exactly engender respect or support with me.

14. Ohmigod, Its Hillary's fault that Nancy called her the next POTUS
I'm so glad that this crystalized your non-vote for Hillary. You project your own biases unto what you are seeing instead of troubling to get to the facts.

18. It's clear ginchinchili just tuned in -- if any of us had heard that intro without
knowing all the intros were the same, we would have reacted similarly.

Be nice.

30. Always. My reaction is usually "Bullshit" or "I'll wait until it's clear"
My circumstances have trained me to be patient when it comes to those sorts of things

31. My training (12 years of Catholic girls' schools) has trained me to think
whatever is happening is God punishing me for being a sinner.

Sounds like your training has served you better in life! :7

32. Maybe
but I think I would have preferred Catholic school, though it might have led to one less fetish for me.

23. I didn't know when I heard it the first time.
but my immediate reaction wasn't 'dammit that candidate lost my vote because the fix is in.'

34. pelosi is an asshole. i can't stand any more of her. she is ruining
the reputation of women. the only notable thing she's done lately is land the position as first woman speaker of the house. she has SUCKED ever since. once they get her the fuck out of there it will be another two hundred years before we get another woman in that job. thanks for nothing peloshit!

(obviously i was expecting far more than she is capable of delivering. my expectations were too high, and she is too half-assed)

35. When you get off your soapbox........
you may want to know that she introduced ALL the candidates the same way. May I suggest that next time you verify your information before going on a diatribe against someone?

39. Hillary bashers think they can sneak ANY excuse in to bash her
IF this person was really watching the fund raiser....they would have seen Nancy introduced EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE CANDIDATES AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

So since she overstepped and introduced Obama should all the people who support another candidate say I ain't gonna vote for Obama because Nancy introduced him as the next president...get real will you.
