She's incredibly partisan. She refuses to let many bills that she disagrees with ever see the floor despite public demands. She cares more about image than legislating. She promotes based on favors rather than qualifications. She, by most accounts, has a caustic personality and is difficult to deal with on a personal level. But she's not corrupt, so I guess that makes her above average as far as Speakers go.
I think rush Limbaugh and hannity have done a good job at defining her, so I ‘m still willing to give her a shot with a democratic president to see how it works. I voted indifferent/neutral/no opinion on this one.
She's a mixed bag. She doesn't have enough backbone. She'll talk big, but back down at the end. She's on the right side of most issues, but there are a few that she's definitely off. In the end she's above average. I believe she is in favor of merit pay for teachers as is Obama. That's one of the worst things we could do to education, at least as merit pay is currently structured.
Interesting how she can be so diliked by the conservatives and liberals, but still preside over one Congressional House. God help if Obama & Biden were to both die, and Pelosi took over as President.
