A) Pelosi is not an extremist. Anyone who thinks so is deluding themselves and a blind partisan with no understanding of politics.

B) Republicans are obstructing anything and everything. Not Obama’s fault that Republicans are doing that. Republicans’ fault! Obama is acting in good faith, Republicans are not. Voinovich is, because he’s a lame duck. Scott Brown is because he was elected to kennedy’s seat and if he’s a blind obstructionist he’ll be dismantled in 2 years.

You need to defend statement A. Pelosi is most definitely an extremist. Under her leadership, she forced through legislation so far left, that the Dems could not get all 60 voters in their caucus to agree on most of what she passed.

On statement B—yes, true. But when you are excluded from any meaningful form of participation in the process, obstruction is all you have.
