I dont feel comfortable posting this but, by heavy DU request.


NN) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday called on President-elect Barack Obama to govern from the middle, as her party sat poised to gain its widest House majority in 15 years.

"I don't know what the final number will be," Pelosi said during a Wednesday afternoon news conference on Capitol Hill. "But it will be well over 250. It's a signal of the change that the American people want."

Pelosi, D-California, said she hoped Obama would "bring people together to reach consensus" on issues that concern Americans. "A new president must govern from the middle," she said.

Topping her agenda, she said, would be "growing the economy, expanding health care, ending dependence on foreign oil and ending the war in Iraq."

Found an article regarding Rahm Emanuels relationship with Pelosi, This is juicy:

"Actually, Nancy gave me two very important tasks as soon as she became speaker,'' Emanuel told the Gridiron on March 31, 2007. "Sit down and shut up.''

"I got pretty mad,'' he said, working his script with the timing of a seasoned comedian. "I said there is only one woman in my life who can order me around like that.......that's Hillary Clinton

1. Head...hurts.

Is it too much to ask that we get a new Majority Leader? That's all I want for Christmas.

2. the hell with Nancy "I'm in bed with George Bush" Pelosi

Obama should just tell her to STFU. He's gonna do it his way not hers.

4. Since Emmanuel is COS, I wonder if this incident is still on his mind.

3. Hey Nancy, got an idea for ya. We're gonna let Obama handle this, mmm-kay?

Mmm-kay, Nancy "Impeachment is off the table" Pelosi?

10. My sentiments exactly.

5. The middle wants Bush impeached, Nancy.

And go fuck yourself.

6. Kind of weird. I always viewed Pelosi as more liberal than Obama.

What is she doing?

9. Personally, I think she's trying to boost her own image with the Right Wing

and prove to them she's not the liberal monster that they keep claiming she is. IMO, Nancy is caving again, just like she did the morning after we took control in Congress 2 years ago. She makes me :puke:

7. The mushy middle would be better than the right

which is no doubt what Emmanuel would want.

Pelosi is correct, the American people want change and a right leaning administration won't provide it.

8. Looks like Nance is having a bit of trouble

understanding who will be in charge.

That's okay, it will become abundantly clear to her soon.

11. Okay, I'm liking Rahm more now.

Nancy has no spine. I'm liking the description of Rahm having "Sharp Elbows."

[DeepBlueDem]

13. As each minute passes, I like Rahm more and more.

12. Is it a secret that Hillary and Nancy DO NOT like one another? I think that's obvious.

Nancy is a poor relationship with several women in the House. Jane Harmon immediately comes to mind. Nancy seems vindictive as well. I've been quite disappointed in her, though I'm not a fan of Rahm "DLC" Emmanuel, either.
