Pelosi 'has a lot of nerve' promoting Obamacare on hospital campus

Friends in low places.
Nancy Pelosi walks into a bar. An Austin bar, it happens. Last night, with Austin Mayor Steve Adler and other liberal leaders.

That's not a joke as Austin has become quite the ATM for lefty politicians with its high concentration of "limousine liberals." [Update: She's here as part of a Georgetown University alumni event.]

But what is surprising is her choice of venue the following morning. According to the Travis County GOP, U.S. Rep. Pelosi (D-Calif.) is scheduled to speak at the Dell Seton Medical Center's Clinical Education Center on the Brackenridge hospital campus as we write this (10 a.m.). Travis GOP's press release says it all:
... "First do no harm" is the primary rule of medicine.  
This is why the Travis County Republican Party finds it odd that Congressional minority leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would want to be anywhere near the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas considering all the harm that was done by Obamacare. 

"As one of the primary agents of Obamacare, Nancy Pelosi should be embarrassed beyond measure to speak at a medical education center," said James Dickey, Travis GOP Chairman. "With fewer health plan choices for Americans, rising premiums, reduced access to physicians, greater government intrusion into our daily lives, and even a whole new category of taxation that is bankrupting our hardest workers, Obamacare has proven itself to be a failure as well as an unprecedented disaster." [...]
We agree that Mrs. Pelosi has some explaining to do. If she cannot see how ACA has shipwrecked America's health care markets and harmed the very people Brackenridge seeks to help, then she must have tied on a few too many last night while on the town. Time for Congress to sober up and repeal Obamacare.

UPDATE: Corrected to reflect the exact location of the event. A previous draft incorrectly reported the Dell Medical School at UT. We apologize for the error. Other minor edits made.
