“Truthclubber” is on the right track.Why isn’t Leader Pelosi doing the right thing and joining the calls for an “insider trading” rule for members of Congress? As was revealed in the recent CBS-TV “60 Minutes” expose, the Pelosis invested a few million (it’s nice to have spare change like that) in the VISA initial public offering. And then didn’t “Miss Nancy” go easy on the credit card industry, until the “heat” got too much for her?

1) “The only Bay Area House member who didn’t sign the letter was House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco.”

I guess that her hubby, Paul Pelosi’s portfolio would be hurt if all of those (too) big (to fail) banks whose stock he owns took a hit from massive refinancing OUT of their loan portfolios and into other lenders who were willing to charge less to these poor folks who are underwater through no fault of their own…

2) “Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, issued a release noting this region has been disproportionately affected by the financial and housing crises.”

Jerr — your district is NOT in Pleasanton any more — it’s time you a) grew a pair and moved into that newly carved CD, and b) actually campaigned against the person who is going to mop the floor with you this fall — Ricky Gill.

Prince O’bummer can just rule by imperial fiat!

The bay area congressional delegation is a bad joke.
