If the US Airforce did all airline food, it would be strawberries dipped in dark chocolate and grilled chicken salads all round.
Unfortunately this luxury is reserved for top US politicians alone, as new documents detailing Nancy Pelosi’s travel expenses reveal.
The former House Speaker was showered with a cornucopia of gourmet food and alcohol as she travelled over 90,000 miles around the world in just nine months last year – all courtesy of the US Airforce (USAF).
On one overseas excursion, her office even wrote to the USAF asking for strawberries dipped in dark chocolate as a birthday treat.
The documents, uncovered by political corruption watchdog Judicial Watch, reveal that the US taxpayer was billed for $101,429 in Mrs Pelosi’s in-flight services over a period of two years.

Nutty Nancy Pelosi on the benefits of ObamaCare
Wow! I can have my own business just because of ObamaCare!! Right on!!
But…ummm..then I’d have employees….and I’ll be forced to provide them with health insurance and it was reported that premiums are going to rise 200%…meaning I’ll have to raise the price of my product through the roof…which means no one will purchase it…which means I’ll have to layoff all my employees and my business will shut down…meaning I’ll be unemployed and broke but still required by law to have health insurance which I can’t afford now but will still be fined for not having….which I won’t be able to pay because I’m out of work….which means my credit will be shot and I may go to jail for not paying the government what it says I owe.
Uh…yeah…I think I’ll pass.

Nutty nut, Nancy “Did I say she’s a nut” Pelosi in an attempt to make the sheeple forget that Obama’s “excellent proposal” received zero votes in Congress.
The House defeated the budget 414-0 in March, while the Senate struck it down 99-0 in May.
Illinois State Workers Forced To Attend Nancy Pelosi, Jesse Jackson Jr. Event On Taxpayer Dime, Plan On Intentionally Weighing College Students Down With Debt.…
Democrats, (especially these ones) involved in unethical and possibly illegal activity? Go figure!
From The Daily Caller:
Documents and a whistle-blower affidavit obtained by The Daily Caller charge that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., and Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., participated in an unethical — and possibly illegal — effort to force 76 employees of an Illinois state agency to engage in political activity on the taxpayers’ dime.
According to the whistle-blower, Rev. Jackson also encouraged the government employees to load first-generation and low-income college students up with student loan debt — because Democrats in Congress, he allegedly promised, would eventually pass laws to forgive that debt later. “[T]hose people will continue to vote Democratic,” Jackson Sr. said, according to the whistle-blower.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said on Thursday that the 43 Catholic institutions—including the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., the Archdiocese of St. Louis and the Archdiocese of New York–that are suing the Obama administration over its regulation mandating that all health-care plans must cover sterilizations, contraceptives and abortifacients are not speaking for the Catholic Church.
When the lawsuits were filed in a coordinated action on May 21, Archbishop Robert J. Carlson of St. Louis spoke at a press conference, giving a quite different impression. “The mandate set to take effect in August of this year requires us to violate our teaching on sterilization, contraception, and abortion-inducing drugs,” Archbishop Carlson said in explaining the lawsuits that were filed simultaneously in 12 different federal court districts across the country by Catholic archdiocoeses, dioceses, universities, schools and charitable organizations.
“The Catholic Church, led by the U.S.C.C.B. [U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops], has pursued every imaginable avenue to correct this problem without litigation,” said the archbishop. “But in a few short months, the federal government will force Catholic institutions to choose between violating the law and violating our moral convictions. Right now, the future is unclear, and any scenario that forces us to violate our moral convictions is unacceptable.”

So she wants you to believe that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop does not speak for the Church. So an organization whose mission is to “To unify, coordinate, encourage, promote and carry on Catholic activities in the United States” is not the spokesperson for the Church in the US?
Yes, they think you are that stupid.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday defended the health care reform law, tying it to the promises written in the Declaration of Independence.
The Affordable Care Act is “about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for the American people,” Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill. She said it “unlocks” them from a job to pursue happiness without the threat of losing their health insurance.
