Hogwash. Obama is a weak president and Pelosi sees this as her chance to be the “real power” in Washington. I expect to see major battles between these two, especially if PBO tries to tack back toward the Center. There was a little noticed incident a few weeks ago in which Pelosi pointedly told the Admininstration they’d have to go through her to lobby members of the Democratic House caucus, and almost shocking thing for a Speaker to say openly these days. This is not a woman “content” to play a lesser role.

Of course, the LA ~~Bird Cage Liner~~ Times may be right: Pelosi greatly admires Harry Bridges, head of the Longshoreman’s Union in San Francisco and an avowed Stalinist. Since Obama was mentored by CPUSA member Frank Davis, belonged to the Socialist New Party in Chicago, and felt comfortable around communist terrorist Bill Ayers, maybe Pelosi is comfortable with him taking the lead….
