NY Post quote...fictitious and misleading...
*I am happy to see that Madame Speaker, aside from her foreign policy aspirations, also agrees, through word and deed (using non-union migrant workers at her winery), with the majority of Americans who are against labor unions. --~ [[User:TK|Sysop-TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 17:27, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

== NY Post quote...fictitious and misleading... ==
The actual, full quote from the article follows....
<blockquote>
Pelosi actually chided the White House for not objecting to the visit to Damascus on Sunday by three GOP House members. "I didn't hear the White House speaking out about that," she whined.
'''Actually, the White House did just that: "We ask that people not go on these trips," said spokeswoman Perrino. "We discourage it. Full stop."'''
'''Besides, even Pelosi must understand that there's a huge difference between three regular legislators calling on Assad and the Speaker of the House - arguably the highest-ranking Democrat in Congress - doing so.'''
As such, she is seen as the representative of the president's political opposition - one that desperately seeks to undercut and reverse his foreign policy.
More than two centuries ago, Congress passed the Logan Act, which forbids private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. As an elected official, Pelosi isn't restrained by the law - but its meaning is clear.
Negotiating with world leaders - particularly those at odds with the United States - should be left to the president, or those authorized by him to do so.

I have removed the quote.
