"She has her caucus more in lockstep with the White House than Boehner does with himself," said Republican strategist Ford O'Connell. "In the House, there's no way around it. Unless fiscal conservatives say, 'All right, I see the greater strategy here,' there is no way to do this without votes from Pelosi's caucus."

"For the sake of America's seniors and their families, our middle class, and our country, let's enact a plan that creates jobs, strengthens the middle class, grows the economy, and reduces the deficit in a balanced, responsible way."

"House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, “beaming with pride” at the “diversity” among her party’s leadership, today introduced the new top Democrats on House committees."

"That's what President Obama and Democrats are fighting to preserve: the American Dream that says, if you work hard, play by the rules, and take responsibility, anyone can succeed, support his or her family, and look forward to a secure retirement.

And under President Obama's leadership we are moving forward."

"The accomplishments of the Democratic Congress of 2007-09 demonstrate how Democrats worked with a Republican president to address serious issues despite partisan differences. It is a lesson not learned by the current Republican House leadership."

"The most exciting speech that I made," she said, "was about AIDS. I came here to fight against HIV and AIDS, and here we are 25 years later." With the International AIDS Conference meeting, Pelosi took the floor just last month to urge Congress "to recommit ourselves to a world without HIV/AIDS.”
