She needs to talk less, and listen more to others around her. Pelosi needs to keep things in perspective, and not mentally go off the deep end.

Her excuse has always been that it is the Federal governments job to secure our borders. As an Arizona resident, I can't wait to here her sorry excuse as to why we still can't get a handle on the border. It will be her responsibility once she is sworn in as head of Homeland Security. The fact is, all Democrats want to keep the border open, sothat when Congress shoves through the Amnesty Bill, we'll get 20 million new Democrat voters, all with their hands out. Any Democrat will tell you that we can't take care of ourselves, that the government has to do it. Anyway, the new Homeland Security chief getting a handle on the border, it isn't going to happen.</description></item><item><title>Pelosi lauds Obama cabinet picks</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/01/1693861.aspx#1693995</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Dec 2008 16:59:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1693995</guid><dc:creator>Lisa, Saugus MA</dc:creator><description>I wish Nancy Pelosi spent more time doing rather than talking.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Did anyone really expect that she would say she was unhappy with anything President-elect Obama does? &amp;nbsp;She must have been biting at the bit when he named Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State since it was so obvious to everyone that Hillary was not her favorite person (to put it nicely).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So Nancy we know your happy now how about helping the little people instead of just banks and insurance companies. &amp;nbsp;We could use a little help since the expenses have gone way up and jobs have gone way down.</description></item><item><title>Pelosi lauds Obama cabinet picks</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/01/1693861.aspx#1694022</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:11:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1694022</guid><dc:creator>Ken Meredith, Havelock, North Carolina</dc:creator><description>I congratulate President-Elect Obama's choices for his national security team. &amp;nbsp;I think he has done what he promised and that was to bring a team together regardless of political party. &amp;nbsp;He is reaching across party lines for the benefit of the American people. &amp;nbsp;The real test I say is whether Congress will do the same thing, because that is where the real gridlock and division has been since the 2000 election. &amp;nbsp;Congress get the picture you work for the American people not the special interest. &amp;nbsp;Now let us see you work for the money we pay you!</description></item><item><title>Pelosi lauds Obama cabinet picks</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/01/1693861.aspx#1694052</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:23:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1694052</guid><dc:creator>Diana Owens, Tacoma, Washington</dc:creator><description>I was impressed with the president-elect's nominees for his national security team. &amp;nbsp;I especially liked the comments each one gave.
