House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) addressed the media following a walkout of the House staged by Republican Representatives this afternoon, regarding the democrats’ lack of urgency to pass the soon to be expired FISA bill.

Pelosi alleged that the “urgency” Bush stressed in his speech regarding FISA this afternoon, was not as pressing as the President made it seem.

Also, Pelosi noted that Bush “manipulated the facts” with FISA and that the democrats were trying hard to get a bill passed. She stressed her hope that a bi-partisan agreement could be reached as soon as possible.
