Obama May Be At Odds With More Conservative Reid and Pelosi
Washington—In a set of events that threatens to turn the Beltway upside down, President-elect Barack Obama, D-IL, has come to find that he may be at odds with the more conservative Democrat Party members—Senator Harry Reid, D-NV, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-CA.
In Obama’s opinion, many on Capitol Hill just aren’t liberal enough, citing their reluctance to bailout both General Motors and Wall Street. Obama has commented that “party members on the Hill can’t make change if they’re not willing.”
“The fundamental problem here,” explained Obama, “is that both Reid and Pelosi have been elements that prohibit the kind of change you can depend on. This kind of legislating isn’t going to work during my administration. They’re going to have to buckle down to make it happen.”
Obama has recently criticized both members in Congress for failing to get legislation pushed through in a timely manner, legislation that will bring the kind of change the new president is seeking.
Many from both parties have speculated that once Obama takes the White House, Rahm Emmanuel, Obama’s Chief of Staff, will be able to get thing pushed through in a much more efficient manner, implementing their new direction for America.
“This is all out war,” claimed Emmanuel. “I will use whatever means at my disposal, including my sharp elbows, to get things done. I’m tired of the weak leaders we have in the party today.”
“Sometimes change hurts,” added Obama. “But what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Pelosi and Reid have to learn that lesson.”
