Boehner's Failure to pass plan B is really the fault of Nancy Pelosi - according to Conservatoids

From Conservatoid website Townhall.

So rather than vote and lose -- the ultimate black eye -- Boehner pulled the bill. But couldn't a handful of Democrats voting 'yea' have solved the problem? And wasn't this idea explicitly Pelosi-endorsed at one point? Of course it was, but Pelosi and Hoyer recognized an opportunity to back their opponents into a corner, insisted on absolute party discipline, and succeeded. In a just world, Pelosi and Obama would both be taking major heat for their cynical reversals. But we're in 2012 America, where Democrats' actions and words don't seem to matter.

Yes in completely different circumstances, Pelosi called for Boehner to pass a plan that was similar to Plan B. He couldn't then. He can't now.

The comments section shows a certain disconnect with reality; although they do all agree that this is Obama's fault.

Pelosi played the kind of hardball one time that Republicans play day in and day out?

Good for her.
