I often hear stories of people who don’t remember what happened the night before, or when they were in college, or when they were on that day-glo covered busride across the US with Ken Kesey and Neal Cassady in the 1960’s but to hear about someone railing for the opposite of something they voted for is not familiar to me…until today.
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is calling on the president to immediately declare that the U.S. will start bearing the costs of evacuating its citizens from Lebanon, instead of charging them, saying, “A nation that can provide more than $300 billion for a war in Iraq can provide the money to get its people out of Lebanon.”
But the president isn’t authorized to reverse the policy — which requires citizens to pay commercial fare plus a dollar for government evacuation — since it’s encoded in the 2003 Foreign Relations Authorization Act. That law was approved by the House and the Democratic controlled Senate in 2002. Pelosi herself voted for the measure.
I think Nancy Pelosi should contact Kevin Trudeau and take his Mega Memory course.
