Politics | Nancy Pelosi Pelosi: Inept Obama Team 'Anticipates Nothing' Harry Reid meanwhile reportedly upset about Obama's jobs bill By Kevin Spak Posted Oct 3, 2011 1:00 PM CDT Copied House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of Calif., gestures during a news conference on Capitol Hill, Sept. 22, 2011. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) Is President Obama facing a revolt from his Democratic generals? Nancy Pelosi certainly doesn’t seem happy. She offered a surprisingly blunt critique of the president and his team recently, buried within this Howard Kurtz Newsweek piece on Obama’s newfound populist punch. “I think you need to talk about how poorly they do on message,” Pelosi grouses. “They can’t see around corners; they anticipate nothing." Rumor has it that Harry Reid isn’t happy, either. Take this one with a grain of salt, but conservative Washington Times columnist Joseph Curl writes today that there’s a “story making the rounds in Washington” that Reid and Obama have been on the outs ever since Obama, in a secret meeting, nixed a debt ceiling deal that both the House and Senate thought could pass. “I’m not going to do anything for that [expletive] again,” Reid is rumored to have declared afterward.
