Rep. Pelosi: President Obama should run against Congress

[bigtree]

(CNN) – House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said she is comfortable with President Barack Obama running for re-election on an anti-Congress platform.

"I think that the president – and for the good of the country, forget Democrats, Republicans – for the good of the country, I think it's really important for the president to make the race that he is running against a do-nothing Congress," Pelosi told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley.

When asked if the president is throwing her and Democrats under the bus by bypassing the chamber ahead of the 2012 elections, Pelosi said: "We don't feel that way."

"Our races are about the House of Representatives, one district at a time. We think we're in good shape," Pelosi said. "We want the president to run the race that is important for the country, and this do-nothing Congress must be defeated."

1. Exactly, if Congress won't pass his legislature how can he be expected to fix the economy....

if congress won't give & up or down vote to his nominee's how can he run the Executive Branch. At a sub 9% rating the congress has, its a good bet that would be a helpfull strategy. She is right about congressional races most people think the other guys congress critter is bad. I want my freshman teabagger gone and there is a good chance she will be. She has been Boners handmaiden, often appearing next to him. She has been a dismal replacement here in NY19th. Even Republicans can't stand her after her disappointing efforts from the Irene storms and other flooding events. So far 2 Democrats have declared to run.
