Pelosi To Obama: Preach

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., responded to President Obama with a statement that the president "is exactly right --  the American people voted on Tuesday for certainty for our economy and middle class families."
 
She added that House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Republicans "can provide that certainty, and establish a sound basis for negotiations on comprehensive deficit reduction package, by taking up the Senate-passed bill to extend the middle income tax cuts."
 
"President Obama has his signing pen ready, and I am certain that, given the opportunity, Democrats in the House will vote to send the middle income tax cut to the President next week," said Pelosi.
