I can’t believe that I am happy about Pelosi right now. I’m stunned.

Pelosi was really worried about Obama losing his big initiative at the hands of the Dems. I believe her sudden “this gives us a chance to slow walk the bill and get a better deal for the American people” is the result of Pelosi seeing the writing on the wall (TAA would fail) so she is trying to make lemonade out of lemons. Sort of like the fox ... didn’t really want the grapes anyway because they were probably sour. Pelosi is not doing this for the American people - she’s protecting the Dem backsides as best she can.
That being said .... ANY vote, Pelosi or otherwise, that deprives Obama of something he wants SO badly and IS a major rejection of his tactic “a vote against this is a vote against me” , makes me happy, too.
