Flashback: Pelosi Asked if ObamaCare Individual Mandate is Constitutional, “Are You Serious? You Can Put This on The Record, That is Not a Serious Question”
Sorry Nan, apparently a federal judge did think it was a serious question…
From Oct. 22, 2009:
Comments & pings are closed.CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?
Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”
Pelosi then shook her head before taking a question from another reporter. Her press spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, then told CNSNews.com that asking the speaker of the House where the Constitution authorized Congress to mandated that individual Americans buy health insurance as not a ”serious question.”
“You can put this on the record,” said Elshami. “That is not a serious question. That is not a serious question.”





SanFranNan at her best..well, other than ‘You have to read the bill to find out what’s in it after it’s passed’ BS.
The fact that such an answer comes from the person in charge of a large portion of the Congressional law writing ought to scare every America. The sooner we get to the point that every law states how it is constitutional the better this country will be. The first thing that ought to make Obamacare unconstitutional is that no Congressperson of Senator had read it before passage.
How about eliminating all the perks, golden parachutes, and other benefits for Congress and all federal employees and make them subject to the same rules and regulation as us “common folk.” Then see if Ms Botox thinks it ‘s a serious question or not.
How about taking back all those waivers obie is handing out like beads during Mardi Gras.
Never watch a Piglosi presser with a mouth full of cashews. Dang near choked to death.
Memo to Piglosi: neveh, eveh, make fun of a question from a constituent, or look down your botoxed nose at a reporter. It makes you look small and petty.
Take that big gavel and bash your brains in, Nan.

Oooooh! How in vogue of Nancy to have a Muslim spokesperson! All Hillary has is a Muslim underwear folder and event scheduler (and Saudi spy).
