Pelosi: Death of 40-hour work week means freedom to ‘follow your passion’

Americans with a lot free time on their hands thanks to Obamacare can spend it pursuing their happiness instead of earning a living, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Sunday.

During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Candy Crowley read Pelosi part of a letter signed by union goon James Hoffa Jr. that described Obamacare’s impact on employers as a way to “destroy the foundation of the 40-hour work week.”

nancypelosi“That’s pretty tough from a loyal Democratic constituency,” said Crowley, sometimes considered a pretty loyal Democratic constituency herself.

Pelosi was unfazed.

Some parts of Obamacare need to be clarified, she acknowledged, but losing that 40-hour work week will really free Americans to “pursue your happiness … follow your passion.”

“Obverwhelmingly, for the American people, this is a liberation,” the San Francisco millionaire said dreamily, possibly confusing “the American people” who have to make a living with her fellow guests at George Soros’s wedding Saturday in New York.

“It’s about wellness, it’s about prevention, it’s about a healthy America,” she said.

Actually, it’s about time she hung it up.

No, it's about government having cradle-to-grave control of every aspect your life.

Pelosi needs to be removed so that we can fully understand the impact or her absence.

Pass it before you read it.

Sad truth is that the 40 hour work week is disappearing in our society right now due to the economy. Pathetic part is she was telling people to make lemonade out of lemons, without suggesting a solution, which is a horrible perception for any politician to have. You think she'd better spin it by saying: The economy is slowly turning around and our workforce is learning skills, along with new sources of capital, and that it won't be long until we are chugging full speed again? Idiotic.

Come on guys. I don’t have time to check this out, but don’t you find the positioning of the quotation marks even the slightest bit suspicious? I mean, the only thing this article is willing to claim she actually said is “pursue your happiness … follow your passion.” The rest of it is contextual positioning…

Ok… after writing that, I decided I may as well look up the transcript. And, as I suspected, you guys have been duped again.

Here’s what the article Jack posted is trying to claim this woman said: “losing that 40-hour work week will really free Americans to “pursue your happiness … follow your passion.”” Look carefully at the positioning of the quotation marks. It’s a sure sign that you’re about to be lied to when the actual quotes take up less than half the sentence.

Here’s what Pelosi actually said: “More than one employer involved in a contract. And that has to be certainly clarified. There's so much the president can do within the law. But there is some leeway to facilitate as we are in the Congress under the exchanges. So, I'm optimistic, because we will find a path. But overwhelmingly for the American people, this is a liberation.
This is life, healthy life, liberty, the freedom to pursue your happiness which could be follow your passion for good rather than follow your palate and be constrained by your policy. It's about wellness. It's about prevention, it's about a healthier America.”
For the slower members of the audience, she isn’t saying the 40 hr work week is an opportunity to pursue crap. She’s saying having a healthy life will allow americans to pursue their happiness.

For f-ks sake, I don’t even like or want Obamacare, and you guys are forcing me to defend polosi’s take on it because your complaints are so bad.

If I worked a 30 hour work week instead of 40, I would feel liberated.

^ She's actually attractive for a bambina in her 70's. Remember other gals her age- Estelle Getty (Golden Girls) or grannie (Beverly Hillbillies)?
