Pelosi says election not a rejection of agenda, Obama will be two-term president
Jon Ward - The Daily Caller Jon Ward - The Daily Caller – Wed Nov 3, 10:40 pm ET
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who saw her powerful position taken from her in Tuesday’s landslide election, was adamant the day after Democrats lost 60 seats in the House that the results were not a rejection of the agenda pursued by President Obama and herself.
“Let’s understand the message,” Pelosi told ABC’s Diane Sawyer. “The message was not, ‘I reject the course that you are on.’ The message is it didn’t go fast enough to produce jobs.”
Pelosi, who would not comment on whether she will retire from Congress rather than go back to the minority, also predicted that Obama will be a two-term president.
“I believe that Barack Obama will serve eight years as President of the United States,” Pelosi said, citing the “investments that he’s made.”
“Some of them are longer term, because he thinks in a statesman-like way, and that’s why they didn’t get the full impact now.”
Pelosi’s first interview after losing power came just a few hours after Obama fielded questions from reporters at the White House. And though the president was fairly clear that he does not intend to change the direction of his policies, Pelosi was much more free in expressing how Democrats feel about passing legislation like the health care overhaul that cost them politically but created a “framework” for long-term structural change to a sector that comprises one-fifth of the economy.

I think the Botox froze her brain. Just days before the election she predicted the Democrats would retain the House. Now predicts the largest landslide against the party in power since the 1930's isn't because of the agenda, but because it didn't work fast enough. That's joke.....right? Nancy, seriously. The only reason such a hugh landslide took place is because your liberal agenda was rejected and the majority don't like the direction your taking the country in. If Obama doesn't change his agenda we'll change it for him. If you and your party don't heed the warning just given, you have 21 more seats in the Senate as well as the White House to lose two years from now. The people have spoken Tuesday, ignore the message at your party's peril.
