it's not easy following the comedic stylings of nancy pelosi.peaker pelosi mentioned that i am a leader -- i am actually the fourth ranking in the republican leadership did you have me, eric cantor republican whip, leader banner, and then there is rush limbaugh. brush called me earlier today from the doctor's office in costa rica. [laughter] speaking about health care, you have to admit it was a controversial bill. some of the provisions in that bill were just on tellable to the republican leadership. come on, nancy. you had to know that john boehner was never going to stand for that tax on tanning beds. [laughter] i get it. they pass the bill, president obama bills like he's got some momentum going, so he is trying to coopt some of our initiatives. the one that surprised me recently what the president's proposal for offshore drilling. i just never thought he really understood the concept. not to drill in part, but for a guy who walks on water, the whole concept of offshore would be difficult for him to understand.

but up next, why i want nancy pelosi to look at the ipad and say, i quit-- that's always her calls. [ahh! fresh. minty. ready! ♪ hi. oooh, minty. [ sniffs ] so what do you think? fresh. [ female announcer ] for a fresh breath feeling that lasts up to 5 times longer, there's new scope outlast. >> coming up, nancy pelosi, the apple ipad and toyota. one of these should be looking at the other two. do you know, well, you will. >> okay. so think fast, ipad and toyota. one of the hot product from a good company that needs, and the other is a not so hot company, darned good sales at a time everyone thinks it needs lots of help. this stuff does not happen in a bad economy, maybe because this isn't such a bad economy and hardly in need of nancy pelosi or congress pouring good money after bad to goose it. dagen, what do you think. >> right on. you know-- >> with a southern accent can you say that again. >> right on. >> ben did it well. >> neil: he could not. >> right on, right on. >> see? >> right on. >> neil: all right. all right. >> right on. >> right on. >> this is, it's not going to get in

but as painful as it was, the truth is that the actions taken by speaker nancy pelosi, majority leader harry reid, and the obama administration are going to make the tax days of the future much, much worse. president obama has signed 25 tax increases passed by the democratically-controlled congress into law that will cost families and small- business people more than $670 billion over the next 10 years. many of these break the president's campaign promise not to raise taxes on families making less than $250,000 a year. in the house, speaker pelosi and her majority have passed legislation that will result in more than $1 trillion -- that is with a "t" -- in net tax increases. tax increases are the symptom. runaway spending is washington's disease. the democrats control every lever of power in washington and they have never met a tax they did not like or found a dollar they could not spend. their economic plan -- you pay, they spend, and your children owe. you deserve better. speaking of your children, the deficits left in the wake of president obama is the agenda now stand at $1.50 tril

of congress that made this day possible, and i'm going to mainly sing aloud praises to speaker nancy pelosi -- [cheers and applause] today, we market and important milestone on the road to health insurance reform and higher education reform. but more broadly, this day affirms our ability to overcome the challenges of our politics and meet the challenges of our time. when i took office, one of the questions that we needed to answer is whether it was still possible to make government responsive to the needs of everyday people, middle class americans, the backbone of this country, or whether the special interests or lobbyists will continue to hold sway like they have done it many times before. and that is a test of the next one week ago when health insurance reform became the law of the land in the united states of america. [applause] and it is a test we met later in the week when congress passed a higher education reforms that will have a tremendous impact on working families and america's future. that is two major victories in one week that will improve the lives of our people for generation

he said no to nancy pelosi, didn't want to walk the plank again. sources say he really was more burned out than anything. he's a tough and resilient man, a state trooper in michigan, actually injured on the job in 2000. his 17-year-old son committed suicide on mother's day and he still found the courage to go back to congress and work with the fda about a prescription drug his son was on and get it more regulated. he's someone that absolutely dealt with adversity throughout his career. he's not one to back down from a challenge. that being said, he spoke to his family, decided he didn't want to go for another term in 2010. overall, though, the political landscape, contessa, for democrats they were expecting more retirements during this recess period. recess is when people like to make these announcements. for them to only have one is not too bad. that puts the number at 16 democratic retirements in the house, 19 republican. it will be interesting to see who stupak ends up endorsing in his district because the front-runner is a pro-choice democrat b
