[NYC_SKP]

4. As the last speaker before president, as the summit closes, she set's a few things straight.

She took names and told some truths.

An example, neither bill has detail that will fund aborting.

I didn't catch all of her corrections, but the republicans didn't expect it and they had a look of shock on their faces.

I got a warm fuzzy watching that.

8. Thanks for your reporting, SKP!@ :)

3. some of the things she said

from HuffingtonPost
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/23/health-care-summit-live-n_n_473261.html

Pelosi calls out Boehner on claim these bills will fund abortion. Does same with Camp claim Medicare will be cut for seniors.

Pelosi: our health care plan puts an end to discrimination against pre-existing conditions, the Republican plan does not

Our leader... Speaker Pelosi is a one-woman fact-checker: "there is no public funding of abortion in these bills."

The insurance industry has acted shamefully -- Speaker Pelosi

Pelosi: "This will take courage to do." Making it into a JFK "Profile in Courage" moment here at the end.

Pelosi gives a closing remark. Says House Ds wanted public option. Notes that instead they've supported R idea: exchanges

[gateley]

6. For those who didn't see it, DO look for a video. She did us proud. nt

[Captain Hilts]

7. She did a great job. The prez is doing well now. nt

[madamesilverspurs]

9. I could watch that again.

Several times! (And when the camera next panned to Boehner he looked like he was trying not to cry -- hehehehehe!)

11. Repukes underestimate Nancy

She can punch a lot harder with her words. I dug the hell out of her calling them out.

[ej510]

13. She also mentioned why the Public Option was fought against, because the insurance industry couldn't

compete against it.

[Blue_In_AK]

19. Some people have speculated

that once the insurance companies can't refuse coverage for pre-existing conditions and actually have to pay out for people's illnesses, they'll be BEGGING for a public option in a couple of years.

[8 track mind]

12. i heard that, that was really cool! n/t

[OnceRepublican]

16. Saw it to

That was great! I love it when the republicants are called out on there own BS.

[Vinca]

20. I was glad to hear her stand up for the public option.

[Bitwit1234]

21. She makes republican speakers look like two year olds

that's why they don't like her. They can't even begin to compete.

[Phx_Dem]

22. No wonder they hate her so much.

She's way smarter and way tougher than all of them.
