Who was the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives?

Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi (born on the 26th of March, 1940) is the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives. Pelosi served as the 52nd Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 2007 to 2011. She is the first woman to become the House Speaker in the US and also the highest-ranking female politician in the American history. After many years of Pelosi's representing San Francisco in Congress, a street in Golden Gate Park was named after her.

On Obama Care. "We need to go ahead and pass it so that we can see what is in it." Nancy Pelosi My cat has more intelligence than that.

A champion of the working class!!! A defender of the little guy!!! Until the workers in their vineyards and restaurants tried to organize and form a labor union. Then, she and her husband did everything in their power to break the workers and deny them their right to organize. Typical left wing liberal hypocrisy. Will the American public ever see through these hypocritical lying scumbags? Probably not.

Unfortunately for the United States! She is a total disgrace - “have to pass it before we find out what’s in it” - Peloser!

Charles Gallagher

Incompetence personified!

She should be so proud of her pooped up, needle infested, homeless. Illegal criminal streets. She is a pathetic excuse for a finger pointing lying coop organizing hypocrite.

A pretty incompetent person who has her own agenda and a disgusting display of her ripping up the presidents speech. She is incompetant in her job .she needs to be dismissed from her job and her witch hunt agenda just like we all have brains we are entiled to our opinions of people who don't serve the U.S.A. agenda and the greatness this country has achieved in the last 4 years .

Lisa Carena, they weren't referring to a brilliant woman. They were referring to Pelosi.

Are there any homeless living on Nancy Pelosi Drive?

Not working out too good for the first woman Speaker. Too bad for women to be represented by such a bad person. Does not even care about the people in her own district that are living like animals! Terrible role model and Horrible Speaker of the House.
