Now, I'm a Barack Obama supporter; avid, in fact. I've donated $100 now to his campaign, and have volunteered for him on numerous occasions. I think such a discloser is necessary, but this is not a post about that.
What has been bothering me lately: Nancy Pelosi's supposed neutrality.
She is NOT neutral. In the past couple of weeks, she has tried to stay neutral and everyone seems to assume that she is. She's not, she's an Obama supporter. I'm sure she wishes she hadn't have said this at the speech, but she did. She is notorious for not getting along with Hillary Clinton. Everybody speculates about her trying to tip the scales toward Obama, but that's because she supports him:

I know that this is a seemingly-useless post, but every time I hear about her staying neutral I replay this video in my head. I decided to share it. I see it as more of putting all of the facts out there. It really has no impetus, I just want others to know how Pelosi leans.

No, Nancy Pelosi is not remaining very true to her statement that she is neutral. Who knows what goes on in politics? Though not an Obama supporter myself (sorry), I definitely favor him over Hilary Clinton, and I don't blame Pelosi for taking Obama's side.
