Obama: Pelosi will be Speaker again after November midterms

[RandySF]

Former President Barack Obama this week predicted House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will again be Speaker after the midterm elections.

Politico reported in Playbook that Obama spoke at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser in northern California, which Pelosi co-hosted.

"I think everybody knows how much I love Nancy Pelosi. So ... Paul's alright," Obama joked, according to Politico.

"But Nancy, I believe is one of the greatest Speakers we ever had and will once again be one of the greatest Speakers we ever have after we get through this cycle," he added.

Obama went on to praise Pelosi for her work while he was in office, according to Politico.

The former president's backing of Pelsoi comes amid a heated internal debate among Democrats over whether to support Pelosi as Speaker should the party retake control of the House after the November midterms.

6. There isn't any heated internal debate.

There is a lot of speculation fed by a complicit media, Internet trolls and the purist left. Nancy's peers have chosen her to be their leader. Fuck that other noise.

Seniority and experience matter. They matter in government and in business.
