"The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done, but cannot do at all or cannot do so well in their separate or individual capacities. In all that people can individually do for themselves, the government ought not to interfere"
~ Abraham Lincoln

Yesterday on ABC’s This Week, host Christiane Amanpour asked Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): “You are, by all accounts, one of the most — if not the most — powerful and successful speakers of — in the history of the United States. You’ve passed so much legislation. The President was elected with a significant majority. You had control of both houses of Congress. And yet now, people are talking about you might lose your majority in the House. The gap seems to be growing wider between what’s achieved and what’s making an impact with the people. How did this happen? …how did you get to this place where, perhaps, you might lose your majority?” Pelosi responded: “We don’t see it that way. We are very proud of the agenda that we have put forth to the American people.”

If you only listened to President Obama, you wouldn’t even know an oil spill is occurring in the Gulf. He hasn’t spoken publicly about the oil spill since June 22 when he announced it was on a laundry list of items discussed at a cabinet meeting. Before that, on June 16, he spoke briefly after negotiating his secret liability deal with BP. Other than those two instances, the president hasn’t spent another public moment focusing on the spill since he began fighting the “battle” against “the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced” from the Oval Office four weeks ago.
The media not only haven’t asked him a question about the crisis,
