Rep. Peters undecided on Pelosi for minority leader --- same way he was undecided on Obamacare until he voted yes? Laughable

THE HILL'S BLOG BRIEFING ROOM


Rep. Peters undecided on Pelosi for minority leader
By Jordan Fabian - 11/12/10 03:11 PM ET

The chorus of House Democrats expressing reservations regarding Speaker Nancy Pelosi's campaign to serve as minority leader grew again on Friday.

Rep. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) said he has not decided whether to support Pelosi (D-Calif.) for minority leader, adding that he is waiting to see if other candidates jump into the race.

"I'll wait to see what happens when I get in next week," he said during an appearance on WJR Radio. "You know, I think that's just insider politics in Washington. It's never been my focus.

"We'll see who's actually running. Right now, I'm not sure who's going to be running," he added.

So far, 18 House Democrats have gone further than Peters, saying they oppose Pelosi's desire to serve a term as minority leader. But Peters's comments indicate that number could grow.

The freshman Michigan Democrat, who narrowly won reelection last Tuesday, is the second member of the class of 2008 to withhold his support for Pelosi, the other being Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes (D).

No other House Democrat has jumped into the ring against Pelosi, but conservative Blue Dog Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) has sent strong signals that he intends to run against her.

Pelosi's opponents have blamed her for the Democrats getting swept out of power by a 60-seat GOP wave on Election Day. Republicans tied many Democrats who lost to the unpopular Speaker.

But the San Francisco Democrat defended her Speakership, as well as her bid for minority leader, on Friday, telling NPR she expects to win "with overwhelming support from my caucus, not unanimous support."

"We didn't lose the election because of me," Pelosi added, blaming high unemployment for the Democrats' defeat.

Shocking! Obama: We’re gonna punish our enemies!!

John Boehner hits President Obama for 'enemies'

Politico.com

John Boehner plans to hammer President Obama during an election-eve rally on Monday night.

By MIKE ALLEN | 11/1/10 7:35 AM EDT Updated: 11/1/10 8:03 AM EDT

House Republican Leader John Boehner plans to hammer President Obama during an election-eve rally on Monday night, for his use of the word “enemies” during an interview with Univision radio that got huge play in the conservative blogosphere.

The president said: “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies, and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’ — if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election — then I think it’s going to be harder. And that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2nd.”

In remarks prepared for delivery to a rally in Cincinnati with Rob Portman, the GOP nominee for Senate in Ohio, and John Kasich, the GOP nominee for Ohio governor, Boehner says:

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a president in the White House who referred to Americans who disagree with him as ‘our enemies.’ Think about that. He actually used that word. When Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush used the word ‘enemy,’ they reserved it for global terrorists and foreign dictators — enemies of the United States. Enemies of freedom. Enemies of our country.

“Today, sadly, we have president who uses the word ‘enemy’ for fellow Americans — fellow citizens. He uses it for people who disagree with his agenda of bigger government — people speaking out for a smaller, more accountable government that respects freedom and allows small businesses to create jobs. Mr. President, there's a word for people who have the audacity to speak up in defense of freedom, the Constitution, and the values of limited government that made our country great. We don't call them ‘enemies.’ We call them ‘patriots.’”
