DO REPORTS OF PELOSI COMMENTS BACK UP 'WHITE HOUSE INSIDER'?

This is interesting on a couple of different levels but outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly told Democratic leaders that the only way Barack Obama would win a second term is if he is 'perfect' between now and then. Adding credibility to this is that according to Roll Call, several aides are said to have vouched for the quote. Obviously, if true, Pelosi has serious doubts about Obama and expressed it by setting an impossible standard.

Via Roll Call:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Democratic leaders Wednesday afternoon that President Barack Obama has to be “perfect” to win a second term, several senior Democratic aides told Roll Call.

and this....

According to one aide, Pelosi also said she wasn’t sure whether the White House is prepared to deal with a Republican House. A leadership aide denied that Pelosi made such a statement.

Interestingly, this look behind the curtain would seem to also bolster the credibility of that 'White House Insider' who's been speaking to an anonymous blogger named 'Ulsterman.'

Here is what WHI said to Ulsterman way back in a post dated October 7th:

Insider: You want to know what Pelosi thinks of Barack Obama? The phrase that was forwarded to me that is said to have come from her?

Ulsterman: Absolutely.

Insider: Now I’m paraphrasing here a bit, but this is the gist of it. “If the president wants a war then that is what he is going to get. I’m done playing patsy to this -expletive- White House. If that -expletive- wants to throw me under his -expletive- bus, then bring it on.

Ulsterman: A war? There is a war between Pelosi and Obama?

Insider: Yes. As extreme as that sounds, that pretty much sums up the situation now between the Speaker and the White House. They are certainly not on friendly terms. Did you notice how there was almost no public comments coming from Pelosi for weeks? She went quiet. Apparently she was directed by White House staff to minimize her public comments in the final months prior to the midterms because she had become such a political liability. That is how she was described by the White House – a liability. White House staff told that to her face. And you know what? The speaker went along with it. It had to be tough, because she is as proud a woman as you will find, but she conceded to the White House’s request that she remain quiet. At least for a while. Now she is speaking out again, and if you read her words carefully, you can see them being directed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, as well as her own Democrats in Congress. She is now reasserting herself as the leader of the party, no longer trusting the White House to deliver an effective message to voters. I believe the lame duck session following the midterms is going to prove extremely…interesting.

In light of those claims, it would seem Pelosi is going to be increasingly critical of the president as each day brings her closer to giving up the gavel.

BECK AT HIS BEST: EXPOSING GEORGE SOROS

I don't always agree with Glenn Beck and think he's gotten away from his strength on occasion. That strength is peeling back the veneer of the left. Van Jones, Anita Dunn, etc. The latest series on George Soros is right in Beck's wheelhouse and he's hitting home run after home run.

As proof of that, take note of the times Beck makes reference to a threat he received from one of Soros' people - Beck explained that threat during part 1 of the series (second video below). Here is Beck explaining Soros' five-step plan to destroy America.



Here is Beck explaining how the "threat" from Soros was delivered. He explained this at the end of Part 1 in the series.

NANCY PELOSI TO ATTEMPT LAME DUCK IMMIGRATION VOTE

Nancy Pelosi has a mental problem and I don't say that flippantly. First, she carries that huge ridiculous gavel through the Tea Party crowd back in March, while laughing on her way to the health care vote; she then predicts Democrats will hold onto the House all the way up to the day before the election; after getting totally shellacked in the midterms, she claims that she wants to be minority leader; then she decides to throw a party to celebrate her party's accomplishments over the last two years.

Now this. She wants to force a vote during this lame duck session that would allow illegal aliens to vote. Via POLITICO:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to push for a vote during the lame-duck session on a bill that would legalize young, undocumented immigrants if they attend college or serve in the military, according to Democratic sources familiar with a leadership conference call Wednesday.

A vote on the bill, known as the DREAM Act, could come as early as next week, the sources said. Pelosi asked Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) and Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) to assess the mood of the caucus, according to one source.

There is no end to their shame.
