Speaker Pelosi promises bold, swift action

Posted by Staff on February 10, 2009 |

In a press conference today Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D- Calif.) expressed pride in President Obama’s presentation of the economic recovery package last night, which passed today in the Senate. Pelosi stated that she is looking forward to reaching a compromise on the House and Senate versions of the bill and putting it to work quickly.

“They know that President Obama cautioned the nation that we cannot allow the perfect to be the enemy of the effective and of the necessary, and we will not. Any one of us can write the bill that we’d like better, isn’t that the way it always is. But we built consensus, we’re proud of the process we put forth, and it has a strategic vision, a strategic mission, so all the parts of it have to come together in a way that keeps the promise that we are making. Bold, swift action and creating jobs,” she stated.
