AFP – US President Barack Obama admitted he suffered a "shellacking" in mid-term elections, but would...
With Tuesday's election results, it's clear the American people sent a message, "Stop screwing up our country Obama and Pelosi."
Fired from her job as speaker of the House, people are speculating as to whether Pelosi will bow out altogether.
"It feels bad," Obama said, digesting his defeat in a White House news conference setting the tone for a looming period of divided government and political confrontation in which he must now chart his 2012 re-election bid.
"There is no doubt that people's number-one concern is the economy, and what they were expressing great frustration about is the fact that we haven't made enough progress on the economy," Obama said.
"They don't see it... so I think I have got to take direct responsibility for the fact that we have not made as much progress as we need to make."
Whoa! He didn't blame Bush? Crazy.
House Minority Leader John Boehner, in line to replace the first woman speaker, Democrat Nancy Pelosi in January, said Obama must "change course."
"I think it's pretty clear that the Obama-Pelosi agenda is being rejected by the American people," Boehner told reporters, and called Obama's signature health reform law a "monstrosity."
Pelosi said Wednesday she had "no regrets" after strong Republican gains in the House of Representatives cut short her stint as the first female Speaker of the House.
Pelosi, 70, also acknowledged she had not decided what the future holds for her specifically, though she won reelection to a two-year House term representing her district in California.
"I'll have a conversation with my caucus, I'll have a conversation with my family, and pray over it, and decide how to go forward," Pelosi told ABC television. "But today isn't that day."
Whoa! Did she say she'd "PRAY over it"?!?! Wow...will the liberals go nuts over this comment and criticize her for talking to G-d?
