Pelosi’s New Mission: Block Obama Deals With GOP

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hers was the face on the grainy negative TV ads that helped defeat scores of Democrats. His agenda, re-election chances and legacy are on the line.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, chosen after a messy family feud among Democrats to remain as their leader in the new Congress, and President Barack Obama share a keen interest in repairing their injured party after this month’s staggering losses.
But Pelosi‘s mandate is diverging from the president’s at a critical time, with potentially damaging consequences for Obama’s ability to cut deals with Republicans in the new Congress.
Their partnership is strained after an election in which Pelosi and many Democrats feel the White House failed them. They believe Obama and his team muddled the party‘s message and didn’t act soon enough to provide cover for incumbents who cast tough votes for his marquee initiatives.
Pelosi will lead Democrats “in pulling on the president‘s shirttails to make sure that he doesn’t move from center-right to far-right,” said Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., a co-chair of the liberal Progressive Caucus in the House. “We think if he’d done less compromising in the last two years, there‘s a good chance we’d have had a jobs bill that would have created real jobs, and then we wouldn’t even be worrying about having lost elections.”
Behind Democrats‘ decision to keep Pelosi as their leader after historic losses lies intense concern among liberals who dominate the party’s ranks on Capitol Hill: They fear Obama will go too far in accommodating the GOP in the new era of divided government. Pelosi is seen as a counterweight to that political phenomenom.
She’s done so before. When Democrats panicked after losing their Senate supermajority last winter, Pelosi rebuffed feelers by then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and others to settle for a smaller health care bill. She derided the approach as “kiddie care” and pushed forward with the sweeping overhaul she painstakingly steered through the House by a razor-thin margin.
A more recent example is Pelosi’s stated refusal to consider extending Bush-era income tax cuts for the highest brackets past their January expiration. Obama’s aides recently signaled he might be open to doing so temporarily if that were the only way of preserving the tax cuts for the middle class — a bargain the president had steadfastly resisted before the election.
Such a deal wouldn’t be acceptable to her or House Democrats, Pelosi told the president last week.
Pelosi “can provide that balance with the White House,” said Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md. House Democrats “want to make sure that they’ve got somebody at the table with the president, looking him eye-to-eye and saying basically, ‘You’ve got some people who have been very, very loyal to you — not just progressives but moderates, too — and they truly believe that that’s not the right thing to do.’ ”
The White House says Obama and Pelosi have uniform goals and a proven track record of working together, and insists they’re on the same page on important issues, particularly preserving the health care and financial regulation laws enacted this year against Republicans’ promised attempts to roll them back.
“The president and Speaker Pelosi have enjoyed a remarkably productive working relationship over the last two years, and he looks forward to continuing to work with her on an agenda to strengthen the economy, create jobs and move America forward,” said Josh Earnest, a White House spokesman.
The president isn’t going to be in a position during the next two years to work exclusively with either Democrats or Republicans, his aides argue. His challenge will be determining — with input from Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, among others — what concessions he needs from the GOP to forge a good compromise, the aides say.
People close to Pelosi say she may trust the president more than some of her allies in Congress do to defend core Democratic principles in his dealings with the GOP.
Some Democrats argue that Pelosi’s liberal streak might help the president in that context — a bad cop to Obama’s good cop.
“In his negotiations with the Republicans, (Obama) needs to be able to say, ‘Look, you say you’re not going to compromise, but I’ve got Nancy Pelosi over here who is very passionate about these issues, and I have to listen to what she’s saying,’ ” Cummings said.
It’s not likely to be a tidy process.
A band of centrist Democrats who last week failed to oust Pelosi in favor of a fresh, more moderate face for the party is ready to side with Republicans on key issues next year. They say they’re eager to work with Obama and the GOP on middle-of-the-road initiatives that are unlikely to be embraced by Pelosi or her liberal allies.
“I‘d like to think there’s an opportunity to do that,” said Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, a leader of the conservative “Blue Dog” Democrats.
The coalition, comprised mostly of Southerners who were once known as “Yellow Dog” Democrats, was born after the Republican takeover of 1994, when it was said they felt “choked blue” by their colleagues on the left.
In those days, Matheson noted, they worked with then-President Bill Clinton on welfare reform and balancing the budget — things that enraged liberals and led to angry accusations that the president was betraying his own party. Welfare is “an example of being honest brokers, working together to get things done, and that’s what Blue Dogs want to do.”
It’s not what Pelosi or many other Democrats have in mind.
Rep. Brian Higgins, D-N.Y., said Democrats learned from the last two years and their shellacking at the polls that “we need to be more aggressive with the White House. They were looking for what was acceptable and then moving toward that, instead of what was important, and moving toward that,” Higgins said. “We need to be true to our principles.”

Posted on November 24, 2010 at 10:19pmA darkness is descending on our country. An insidious evil, originally apparent only to those who share a deep bond with God, such as SnowLeopard and Glenn, but whose presence is now being sensed by those American Christians who carry out the words of Christ.
God has placed a veil over the immediate future as a test for Believers. He tests your faith in those who have been special insight into his warnings of the the collapse of our Christian nation, his chosen nation. Call me crazy but I have felt God’s calling. He’s given me insight into the present situation in America. Maybe I am crazy, but I hear the words of God, the Almighty God of the world speaking to me. He has given insight to interpret the secret messages the Government is giving to their blind followers, through the “media” for the ultimate battle, one between the believers of Christ and those of Evil.
He has shown me that – and if you don’t think I[’m receiving the words of God, please think about what I say – that the government is trying to create a crisis so that they can declare Marshall Law, and become an absolute dictatorship. Once the dictatorship is established, the government will execute their plan to take away guns and destroy all TP members and conservatives that oppose them.
Have you noticed that some that oppose Obama have stopped posting here? The fact is that the government has the physical addresses of everyone who posts here through the so called Patriot Act, as is silently “removing” those people. They’re very careful to keep everything under the radar until they declare themselves.
Adolf Hitler was an amateur compared to the present Administration. When Obama takes absolute, dictatorial control of the US, the deaths in the FEMA death camps will make the Holocaust look like a Christmas Holiday. Sorry Whites, sorry Christians, you’re not “good enough” for America. America, as Obama said, is a Muslim Nation.
We can fight back though. The government probably knows where I live by now, but until they take me, I’ll post the things you have to know to fight back. Besides water and food, get antibiotics! Oil and bury your guns and ammo against the initial raid which may come any time. More survival tips to follow, but for now buy some of those seeds.

He does not need to run for a second term; his work is just about complete. He has galvanized all the negative elements in society and brought them together for the destruction of the USA. You were better off with Bush in 2008; and to get back to that point would be a step in the right direction.

Posted on November 24, 2010 at 9:44pmThis is NOT politics as usual. Something we are not seeing is ‘up’. The Democrats are forcing the American people down roads that they do not want to go down, and the recent election proves that. Yet they keep pulling and pulling more to the left. What plots or plans are in the works, that Pelosi knows about, that will prevent the D’s from having yet another gigantic defeat in 2012? I can’t but help to keep wondering if they are certain that the next election is electronically rigged. Or something equally as sinister. It just doesn’t make sense for one party to be going so deeply against Americans and not be concerned about the next election. I’m very cynical about Pelosi and the Dems. They are up to something even more rotten that we have already seen.

Posted on November 25, 2010 at 6:53pm@calijohn: examples? Or did you just pick the cureent (R) Senator under fire and blame him for mysterious evils? Also, @ …don’t remember who… Stated that public elections of Senators destroyed states’ rights, you are SO spot on there, and I been meaning to research when/how that changed. Thanks for reminding me to educate myself on a point I am somewhat ignorant of. But don’t forget Lincoln, great a President as he was, ALSO wiped with a roll of “10th amendment” toilet paper in the name of preserving the union. As I’ve said before, he could have done a GREAT deal, and so could have Grant, in restoring the rights of the states. Something unwritten happened there, and was not addressed after the war was over. @ INDEPENDENTVOTERIL, thanks for stealing my thunder, brah! lol…I was gonna point out that the people in congress are SO FAR TO THE LEFT that they may actually NOT (hard to believe) be lying about thinking obama is “center-right” right now…Stunning, either way.
Semper Fi and …meh…maybe the botox is leaking into pelosi’s brain housing group…not her fault.

Report Post »mcconnell was and is the one who said that the republican senators were not to cooperate with the administration. this was before the inauguration.
if you doubt this, look it up.
it’s the same thing he repeated (one term president) and boehner chimed in on.
the republican party had an opportunity to make its mark on health insurance reform, and back pedaled on their own recommendations.
the republican party did noting for the middle class and held out to aid the corporations and the 400 individuals who make over $370,000,000 per year.
you have access to a computer. spend some time and look up some facts.

Posted on November 25, 2010 at 10:49pmAnd my reply is this. McConnell and the rest of the party of “HELL NO” decided that Obamacare, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL policies was, well, unconstitutional. The reason the Tea party, and most of Americans are against 100% of Obama’s policies is that he, and his administration, are subverting the American economic system of free-market capitalism, which has worked since 1789, with a few bumps and corrections along the way. Which our founders KNEW would happen, and allowed for the changes to be made in the Constitution, along with the check and balance system.
YOUR contention is that McConnell hurt America because
“mcconnell was and is the one who said that the republican senators were not to cooperate with the administration. this was before the inauguration.

…which is so rife with mis-spellings and bad grammer that it is almost totally illegible, but I draw from context, and you are 100% correct in your….”statement’. yes, he advised that ALL Republicans say “no” to every one of obama’s, reid’s, and pelosi’s recomendations, as well as ANY socialistic, anti-American bill run through the halls of congress. Do you even know, the ‘cap and trade’ bill had over 300 pages added 3 hours before it was to be deliberated on in the house? Boehner’s team reacted admirably, and i watched Boehner’s 30 min-or so speach on the house floor, deploring the bill as a job killer and an excessive tax on everyday Americans. Know what pelosi said as Speaker of the House after Boehner’s speach? I can quote it for you. “All I have to say is three words, jobs, jobs, JOBS!!!” Disgusting, and an outright lie, which if cap and trade had passed, would have made pelosi MILLIONS more dollars in legistated income.
My advice to you would be to do your OWN homework, look to see who profits from “global warming” legislation, who has so many launderers (Jefferson of Mississippi), who is seeking to profit on the subversion of American citizens (minorities) and WHO IS SEEKING TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION THROUGH ABOLITION OF THE 2ND, 4TH AND 10TH AMENDMENTS. Do YOUR homework, and come see me when you are able to spell a word correctly AND put together a complete sentence.

Posted on November 26, 2010 at 8:39amHow about being true to OUR principles? It’s not a matter of “bipartisanship” with the Republicans; it’s a matter of bipartisanship with the American people! These political dinosaurs are truly delusional to think that they can carry on with ignoring the majority will of the American people and our founding principles… Term limits, anyone?
