Obama: ‘I Could Not Be More Anxious’ To Have Pelosi Back As Speaker

[snip] President Barack Obama gave a boost Wednesday to Democrats chasing control of the House, telling donors he’s still seeking compromise with Republicans — but if that fails, it’s up to Democrats to finish the job.

Joined by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, his former chief of staff, at a glitzy hotel in downtown Chicago, Obama cast his days of politicking as behind him — “I’ve run my last political race.” But he portrayed a renewed Democratic majority in Congress as the best insurance policy against a GOP determined to stand in his way.

“Washington is not broken,” Obama said. “It’s broken right now for a particular reason, but it’s not permanently broken. It can be fixed.”

That’s where Democratic donors and the candidates they support come in, Obama said. About 150 supporters, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, attended the reception, where tickets started at $1,000 per person.

But the big bucks awaited Obama and his party at the home of Bettylu Saltzman, whose support for Obama started decades earlier when he was first entering politics in Illinois. Tickets to dinner at Saltzman’s home started at $10,000 and topped out at $32,400 — the legal maximum.

“I can honestly say I probably would not be president today without Bettylu Saltzman,” Obama said. “Love that woman.”

The most poisonous hand in politics...Obama, Pelosi, Clinton, Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett, (Mohamed Magid) and (the rest of Obama's Muslim Brother Hood). Pelosi and these people to help the broken Muslim in the White House...you just can't make a silk purse out of a community organizer.....

>>“Washington is not broken,” Obama said. “It’s broken right now for a particular reason,”

So it’s broken.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Getting Pelosi back in office is the ONLY way they can stop all the investigations...

If you think they cheated LAST time?? You ain’t seen NOTHING yet!

[chris37]

Is there some difference between Pelosi and Boner I should be aware of?

[struggle]

That’s why Obama’s trying to make voting fair.

If we can keep amnesty dead until the 2014 elections, it will be a huge win for Republicans.

[G Larry]

It would ensure his complete dictatorial powers.

The USSC couldn’t act fast enough to stop him, and he would ignore them if they tried.

[NCC-1701]

Pelousy doesn’t cry and has a killer instinct.

NANCY SUCKS-UP: $$$DEALS FOR VOTES

Nancy recently told Chris Wallace on Fox News, "It is almost a false argument (made by Repubs) to say that we have a spending problem (WRT sequestration)." (TRANSLATION "And besides, we need trillions to subsidize all our "new citizens" who will vote---and make me Majority Leader, again---not to mention the billions in foreign aid we plan to give to all the countries on the other side of the border.")

The SCOTUS majority will soon be an active part of Democrat one party rule —if it isn’t already.

[apillar]

All I can say is that if the democrats really do take back the House in 2014, despite all the scandals and despite the historical fact that the party holding the Whitehouse usually gets destroyed in the midterms and despite the fact that Obama is not on the ballot and is a lame duck. Then this country really is finished, no if’s, and’s, or but’s about it. Last one to leave, turn out the lights....

[pieceofthepuzzle]

I cannot be more anxious to get your unqualified flawed ideology-driven butt out of any public office and into a job in which you actually have to work for a living - and find out what that’s all about.

Obama: ‘I Could Not Be More Anxious’ To Have Pelosi Back As Speaker

I could have an anxiety attack at the thought of Pelosi waving her big gavel again.

[Personal Responsibility]

“Washington is not broken,” Obama said. “It’s broken right now for a particular reason, but it’s not permanently broken. It can be fixed.”

All he needs is just a little bit more power. A little bit more control. Then, oh yes THEN, it will be fixed. That’s the answer, right Barack?

LOL, who could have guessed...

[PATRIOT1876]

Having Pelosi as Speaker makes everyone anxious

[Hotlanta Mike]

It has nothing to do with Pelosi, but he needs a majority in the House to quash oversight of his tyrannical regime.

[NFHale]

Yes.

She’s a POS, but she’ll fight for what she believes in. She’ll do whatever it takes to win this war for her side.

Can’t say the same for Boner. He should be hammering the admin from HIS bully pulpit as Speaker every damn day, dragging himself in front of every camera and microphone 24-7.

But hey...maybe he can cry a little and get some sympathy while the country goes to sh*t.

[chris37]

I do agree with these subtle differences, but I think the similarity between the two override them.

The similarity of consequence is Obama gets exactly what he wants from both.

[Old Yeller]

Impeachment insurance.
