(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that President Barack Obama has “tried so hard to listen, to accommodate, to be respectful of” the Republicans in Congress. Following dinner with 12 Republican senators on Wednesday night, President Obama is meeting with House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for lunch on Thursday in attempts to reach out to Republicans on Capitol Hill. During her weekly press conference, Pelosi was asked if the reason Congress and the White House have failed to reach a “grand bargain” was due to Obama’s “not reaching out" to rank-and-file Republicans. “This president...

On Monday during a photo opportunity for the Hunger Fast Coalition, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the Republican budget will force seniors into starvation. The former House Speaker also used "the Gospel" to justify more government spending.

"We still would have lost the election because we had 9.5% unemployment. Let's take it where that came from. The policies of George W. Bush and the Republican support for his initiatives, tax cuts are for the wealth, recklessness by some," Minority Leader Pelosi told CNN

We can’t be precise about how all of this will shake out. But it is reasonably clear that, to take back the House in 2012, Democrats would have to approximate the feat they pulled off in the banner year of 2006 while facing a changed and more hostile political map. Redistricting aside, a number of places where veteran Blue Dog Democrats lost in 2010—including three in Tennessee, two in Mississippi, and one each in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Alabama—are heavily Republican districts that are very unlikely to flip back in the foreseeable future.

Outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says the DREAM Act represents the new "American dream." "In coming here, these new comers, from that time a couple hundred years ago and to this day, by coming with that optimism and hope and commitment to a better future for the next generation, they made America more American. So tonight, we have an opportunity to identify with the aspirations of our founders," Pelosi said on the House floor prior to the vote.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will give up her gavel to a GOP successor following Tuesday's midterm election. But a whole bevy of "Speaker Pelosi" themed items are still available online, and they're about to become either collectors' treasures or trash, depending on who you ask. Among them, a "Speaker Pelosi" popcorn tin, which comes filled with three flavors of popcorn and costs $35, and an organic brown baby-doll t-shirt emblazoned with the slogan "A woman's place is in the house ... as Speaker" that goes for $20. One might also consider the "Speaker Pelosi" frisbee, which costs a mere $1.99....

"We're talking about addressing the disparity of income where the wealthy people continue to get wealthier and some other people are falling out of the middle class when we want to bring many more people into the middle class. But that disparity is not just about wages alone, that disparity is about ownership and equity. It's all about fairness in our country," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said to the United Steelworkers on Monday.

Imagine you are one of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s top political strategists. The polls show your party needs a game-changer, something that will transform what looks like a losing political hand into a winner. “I know,” you shout, “let’s push for a large tax increase on the ‘fortunate few’ — the 2 or 3 percent of the population with so much money they won’t even miss a few thousand bucks. The other 97 or 98 percent will feel no pain, and we’ll be able to call ourselves deficit hawks when all those billions start rolling in.” On paper, this strategy...

Nancy Pelosi tells MSNBC’s Chuck Todd that she’ll stop blaming Bush for everything “when the problems go away.”

God bless you guys, we need you. You're our last great hope before the Democrats and RINOs push us all in and plunge us into full blown socialism. Hang tough!! By the way, just heard on FOX News something about the committees working on this bailout bill just had their Blackberries confiscated so they can't communicate with the outside world. I pray I misheard that.
