“I am here because there are very few people in public office who I am more fond of and respectful than the person who just introduced me, Nancy Pelosi,” Obama said in his remarks. “She is thoughtful, she’s visionary, she’s as tough as nails.

Indeed he could! Thank the Lord that she is no longer in that position! As bad as things are, if the Democrats Socialists gain control of the House again, we are truly lost!
