Pelosi, Democrats Break First Promise Playing Games With 9/11 Recommendations


So, Pelosi and the Democrats have assumed the mantle of power that comes with being in the majority...problem is, as they move into their first 100 hours of action on keeping promises made in the election, they are already playing games with American voters. We were promised they would pass ALL THE 9/11 Recommendations, key among them having one committee, not ten acting as the oversight group of the intelligence community...go ahead and read their bill...that is NOT BEING DONE. Why does liar liar pants on fire jumpt to mind? Wonder if John Hall will step up and point this problem out, or keep quiet while playing the part of yes man.

WASHINGTON -- Anti-terror legislation sailed through the House on Tuesday, the first in a string of measures designed to fulfill campaign promises made by Democrats last fall.

Patterned on recommendations of the commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks, the far-reaching measure includes commitments for inspection of all cargo carried aboard passenger aircraft and on ships bound for the United States.

The vote was a bipartisan 299-128, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi took the rostrum to announce the passage of the first legislation to clear under the new Democratic majority.

Democrats said the bill's passage was a top priority.
