Are You Sure That is a Blessing?


When we stayed with my sister and brother in-law Mike in Texas this February, Mike chuckled as he told us this observation: Have you ever noticed when someone starts a comment with,

"Bless his heart, but" what usually follows is negative?


Check out Nancy Pelosi's comments yesterday about the president. I don't think her intentions were to be kind, do you? Wonder if she has checked those opinion poll ratings for congress lately.


CNN) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called President Bush "a total failure" on Thursday, among the California Democrat's harshest assessments to date of the president.

"God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States -- a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject," Pelosi told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in an exclusive interview.
The comments came two days after the president sharply criticized Congress over what he described as relative inaction over the course of the legislative term. At the White House on Wednesday, Bush noted that there were only 26 legislative days left in the fiscal year and said Congress would need to pass a spending bill every other day to "get their fundamental job done."
