Dems Pelosi, Reid adapt to life in Obama's shadow

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn't lose her temper. But she unleashed a bit of sarcasm when someone suggested, yet again, that she's a thorn in President Barack Obama's side.

"Let me get this straight," the California Democrat told a group of liberal bloggers this past week. They had asked her about unattributed reports that the White House thought the $787 billion stimulus bill might have won a few more votes from House Republicans if Pelosi had not moved it so quickly.

"It couldn't be farther from the truth," she said dismissively, noting Obama had requested the bill by President's Day.

Pelosi might have been slightly less irritated if Republicans weren't constantly making the opposite charge: that she is the driving force behind Obama's bid to ram a liberal and costly agenda into law over GOP protests.

Nah, I think the Queen Bee is enjoying being in Obama’s shadow. It allows her to ram her agenda through with perfect political cover.

“Queen Bee”?

I like “Crap House Rat”, as in crazy as, better. More appropriate for sure. Look at her eyes sometime. There ain't nothing in there...

This should read ‘cheerfully aid Obama in his attempts to destroy the nation’

Yes.

They are fellow travelers!

Any notion of a big rift between them is pure "Mutt and Jeff" (aka Good Cop/Bad Cop) theater.
