Frustrated G.O.P. Tries to Drive Wedge Between Obama and Pelosi

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama might be the new president, but to hear Republicans tell it, Nancy Pelosi is really running things.

At least that is how it appears from the way Republicans single out the speaker as the cause of everything from their near-blanket opposition to the economic stimulus legislation, to the 9,000 earmarks in the overdue spending bills.

2. Obama is too tough a target. People like him too much ...
..for their crap to stick. (Teflon president II). So they need to find an alternative face for the Democratic party.
